THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 26th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Friday , 1st February, 2019). LETS REMIND EACH OTHER ON THIS BLESSED DAY. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH has commanded us in the Qur’an to remind each other on matters of the religion as reminders benefit believers. It is recommended that every Muslim take a ghusul (pure Islamic bath) before going to the Masjid on every Friday. If you are working and can go to masjid from work, you can take your ghusul in the morning before leaving the house then you can just perform wuduu when it's time for jumuat. First, just make up your mind that you are going to take your ghusul for jumuat that’s all and say BismilLah. You can first take your normal bath to clean any dirt or first wash ur private parts then make wuduu like the wuduu for prayer, then pour water from your head to wash your head then wash towards your right side, then the left side of your body. Making sure your entire body is washed properly includ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ArbaĆ , 24th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Wednesday, 30th January, 2019). PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN continues from yesterday's Reminder. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Please read through yesterday's reminder before reading this. If you missed it, please request me to copy you in Shaa ALLAH. Scholars have said that Eemaan is the speech of the heart and tongue, and the actions of the heart, tongue and limbs. The speech of the heart: This actually refers to the belief of the heart with respect to ALLAH and the other pillars of eemaan (such as the Angels, Books, Messengers, Qadr, the Last Day etc.). In other words it refers to the knowledge that the heart contains and its firm belief in this knowledge. So this would include Tawheed and its two categories of Ruboobiyyah and Asmaa was-Sifaat because both of these are related to knowledge. The speech of the tongue: This refers to the tongue's confirmation of what the heart contains. In other wo...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaathah, 23rd Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Tuesday, 29th January, 2019). PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN. BismilLaahir Rahmaanil Raheem. Scholars of Islaam (such as Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Taymiyyah etc.) said based on Quran, Sunnah and consensus of all scholars that: “Belief is a statement of the tongue, sincerity of the heart and actions of the limbs. These are summarised and will be explained in details in the coming Reminders in Shaa Allah. It increases with the increase of good deeds and decreases due to decreases in good deeds. So it will increase and decrease due to that (one’s deeds). Faith is not complete by the statement of the tongue except with actions. Both statement of the tongue and actions are not complete except with intention (purely for ALLAH sake). Statement of the tongue, actions and intentions are not complete unless they are in accordance with the sunnah.” This is simple formula but that's the foundation of good faith. Let's str...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 22nd Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Monday, 28th January, 2019). BE STEADFAST AND DIE ONLY AS A MUSLIM. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Alhamdulillah for blessing us with Islam. Islam is the ONLY WAY TO PARADISE. Whoever leaves Islam has purchased hell fire at the end. We must do daawah to all non Muslims especially those who claim to be Christians and Jews as such decide not to accept Islam. ALLAH, the Exalted and Most High, says: "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." (3:85) "Surely, those who reject Faith (disbelieve in ALLAH and in Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as being ALLAH'S Messenger and in all that which he has brought from ALLAH), neither their properties, nor their offspring will avail them aught against ALLAH. They are the dwellers of the Fire, therein they will abide." (quran 3:116) “Say (O Muhammad): “O ma...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 21st Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Sunday, 27th January, 2019). AN AMAZING EEMAAN BOOSTER PLEASE SHARE TO OTHERS AS I'M SHARING FROM SOMEONE. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. An Imam was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car after his preaching to a community of unbelievers. It was raining and dark and because of the intensity of the rain he could hardly see past his headlights. On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were signs posted all along the bridge that said "DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS." There was an institution for the criminally insane near the base of the bridge and sometimes people would escape from it and try to hitch a ride. On this particular night, as he turned his car on to the bridge, he had to drive exceptionally slow because he could hardly see the road. Somewhere near the top of the bridge a man suddenly appeared in the headlights. He was soaked, standing in the middle of t...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 20th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Saturday, 26th January, 2019). GETTING TO KNOW ALLAH WELL AS MUSLIMS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Do you want to know ALLAH? Do you strive to obey ALLAH? Do you yearn to please ALLAH? Do you consider and ask yourself these questions daily? Do we reflect on who Almighty ALLAH is in our prayers? Do we understand the power of ALLAH when we stand before HIM? Do we actually fear ALLAH that HE can end our life today, inflict us with illness etc because of our disobedience or as trial to our claim to be conscious of HIM? Do you also know ALLAH is more merciful than our own mothers upon us to forgive our sins if we repent sincerely?. If it’s not ALLAH whom you desire to please, if it’s not ALLAH whom you turn to, then where would you go to? Who would look after you and shelter you, aid you and protect you other than ALLAH? You were created in this world for a purpose, for a reason, and that is to know ALLAH. Do we no...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 19th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Friday, 25th January, 2019). TO CONCENTRATE IN SALAAT IS A PILLAR TO PERFECT OUR SALAAT. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Lets consider these 10 tips on how to concentrate (khushu) during salaat(prayers). 1. Before standing up for Prayer, try to deal with all the minor urgent matters which demand your attention. If you are pressed by hunger, eat first; if you are pressed to attend to the call of nature, relieve yourself first; if you are the parent of an infant, feed him or her, or keep him or her busy.  2. Perform your wudu’ (ablution) well, paying due care and attention.  3. Approach the Prayer with zest and passion as if it is the last prayer in your life before dying. Actually the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us that we could do nothing in this world that could ever surpass Prayer in merit and excellence.  4. Visualize that in your Prayer you are going to have a special audience with ALLAH, ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 18th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 24th January, 2019). SPECIAL INVITATION FROM ALLAH IN THE LAST THIRD OF EACH NIGHT. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. In swaheeh Al-Bukhari, Allah’s Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) is reported to have said: “Every night when it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Exalted, the Blessed, descends to the nearest heaven and says, ‘Is there anyone to invoke Me that I may respond to his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone asking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?’. This hadith informs us of the excellence of the last third of the night, how ALLAH (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) is hoping for HIS servants to ask HIM for something at that time, so HE may grant it to them. Although Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) hears us, watches us, and is aware of our feelings at all times, but the time before dawn is extra special invitation for ALLAH to ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 17th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Wednesday, 23rd January, 2019). EXPIATION FOR TRANSGRESSION AGAINST RIGHTS OF OTHERS. Bismillah. We all know that ALLAH forgive all sins if we sincerely regret and seek forgiveness. Today's reminders will focus on sins against others which we all know ALLAH does not forgive unless those we offended forgives us. With regard to sins that have to do with the rights of other people, they can only be expiated by repenting from them. One of the conditions of repenting from them is restoring the rights of those who have been wronged.  Imam Muslim narrated from ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (may ALLAH be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “The martyr will be forgiven for all his sins except debt.” Al-Nawawi said in Sharh Muslim:  The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) “except debt” draw attention to all rights owed to other pe...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaathah, 16th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Tuesday, 22nd January, 2019). SOME CONDITIONS TO FULFILL FOR ALLAH TO ANSWER OUR DUA. BismilLah. Why our dua may not even reach ALLAH which most of us may know but as ALLAH says reminders only benefit believers as such we must remind each other regularly because it's a serious issue. Let's note that Dua or seeking favour or mercy from the most HIGH, ALLAH is like a weapon, and a weapon is only as good as the person who is using it; it is not merely the matter of how sharp it is. If the weapon is perfect and free of faults, and the arm of the person using it is strong, and there is nothing stopping him, he has experience in using the weapon then he can lay waste the enemy or his target without fail. But if any of these features is lacking, then the effect will be lacking accordingly.” We must learn to address ALLAH through Respect and pure heart. ALLAH is the most HIGH as such HE accept nothing u...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ithnayn, 15th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Monday, 21st January, 2019). A TOUCHING KHUTUBAH. MY SENIOR BROTHER SHARED THE BELOW KHUTBAH TO ME YESTERDAY AND I DECIDED TO RESHARE with little editing to it. LET'S LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM IT IN SHAA ALLAH. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Please note that "Every human is a slave. You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of ALLAH. You either live life by your rules or the rules of ALLAH. How can the heart travel to ALLAH if it's chained by its desires of this temporary world? Sheikh Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah said O' son of Aadam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you will win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you will lose both. Meaning if you stick to obedience to the CREATOR ALLAH you will benefit from this world and the hereafter but if you abandon ALLAH'S rules and follow as you wish, you looses both. Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulAhad, 14th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Sunday, 20th January, 2019). Treating our wives well for ALLAH sake. It's a bit long but educational so relax on bed and use your free day today and read through please. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The foremost quality which Muslim men desire in a wife, after beauty and physical attractiveness, is that she be obedient, and that she do their chores without being told e.g. cooking their meals, or doing the laundry. However, it is a fact that there is a difference of opinion among Islamic scholars regarding whether it is obligatory or preferred (mustahab) for a wife to serve her husband. Majority declare it to be praiseworthy but not obligatory, even though most Muslim women happily do their household work themselves, without being asked. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam did his personal chores himself most of the time, and we do not know of any ahadith in which his wives were known to serve hi...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 13th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Saturday, 19th January, 2019). GUIDANCE AND PROTECTION OF ALLAH. Share to your groups and colleagues please. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. AlhamdulilLah for teaching us how to succeed in life in Suuratul Faatihah where HE taught us to seek guidance through the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu Alaihi wasallam. It's important we keep our faith strong in ALLAH and HIS Messenger and avoid listening and following the kuffar else as ALLAH says in the Quran 3vrs 100 going, they will deviate us into kufur. ALLAH the Most high also says, “ALLAH is the Protector of those who have faith; from the depths of darkness HE will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones, from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).”[Al Qur’an 2:257] ALLAH will deliver the believers from the darkne...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 12th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Friday, 18th January, 2019). WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY AS A MUSLIM IS OUR KHUTBAH TODAY. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. On every Friday we hear the Imam conclude his khutbah(friday sermon) by reciting the following verse of the Quran: "InnaAllah Yamuru bil adel, wal ehsane, wa itae zil qurba; wa yanha anilfuhshae, wal munkari walbaghi; yaizukhum la'allakum yatazakkaroon. "Surely ALLAH enjoins justice, kindness and the doing of good, to kith and kin; and He forbids all that is shameful, indecent, evil, rebellious and oppressive." Quran 16:90. Pornography and the culture of pornography has all the three elements which ALLAH has prohibited in the above verse of the Quran: Fahsha; Munkar, baghi. Here is a bit of terminology: Fahsha is obscenity, vulgarity, indecency, shamelessness and something that is dirty, filthy, foul and fornication. All scholars agree pornography is included in the term Fahsha. ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 11th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 17th January, 2019). The Power of Istiqhfaar (Seeking forgiveness from ALLAH). Don't miss this true story please. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. This story about “Istighfar” is from the life of Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal, may ALLAH be pleased with him who is considered as a renowned scholar of Islam and a famous theologian. Imam Ahmed is also considered to be the founder of the Hanbali school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and is often referred to as the “Sheikh ul-Islam” or the “Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah(Strick follower of the Prophet teachings and actions).” During his old age, while he was travelling he stopped by a town. After the prayers, he wanted to stay for the night in the masjid yard because he didn’t know anyone in the town. Owing to his humility, he hadn’t introduced himself to anyone thinking that if he did, it may turn into something else. Failing to recognize Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, the ca...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ArbaĆ , 10th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Wednesday, 16th January, 2019). GOOD DEEDS WIPES AWAY BAD DEEDS AND VICE VERSA. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Few days ago, I mentioned part of the hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam recommended us to follow up any bad deed with a good deed to wipe the bad deed off but It is important to note that a bad deed that violates the rights of others, cannot simply be wiped away by a good deed. Instead, the sinner must return the right to the person or ask for their forgiveness. An example of this would be if you said something bad about a person in a gathering, you should seek ALLAH’s forgiveness and say something good about them in a gathering of at least the same size, to outweigh the negative effects of what you have said about them if you cannot find him or her to apologise. We should also remember that in the same way that good deeds wipe away evil deeds, evil deeds can also wipe away...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaathah, 9th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Tuesday, 15th January, 2019). A GIFT FROM OUR BELOVED PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam FOR US ALL. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. This du’a is the last aayah or verse of Suurah At-Tawbah: Ų­َŲ³ْŲØِيَ اللّهُ لا Ų„ِŁ„َهَ Ų„ِلاَّ هُوَ Ų¹َŁ„َيْهِ ŲŖَوَكَّŁ„ْŲŖُ وَهُوَ Ų±َŲØُّ Ų§Ł„ْŲ¹َŲ±ْŲ“ِ Ų§Ł„ْŲ¹َŲøِي Transliteration: HasbiyAllahu, la ilaha illaa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakaltu, wa Huwa Rabb al-’arsh al-’atheem. Translation: ALLAH is sufficient for me. I have placed my trust in HIM, HE is the Lord of the Majestic Throne. [Suurah Tawbah, verse 129]. The Messenger of ALLAH (صلى الله Ų¹Ł„ŁŠŁ‡ و سلم) said, “ALLAH will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning and evening whatever he desires from this world or the next.” [Saheeh, Sunan Abee Dawood]. SUBHAANALLAH. ALLAHU AKBAR. ALLAH IS INDEED THE MOST MERCIFUL TO ALL HIS CREATION. Lets note that we must trust and have faith in what we recite in our ways of life. You canno...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn , 8th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Monday, 14th January, 2019). RULING ON COMBINING TWO SALAAT AT A TIME. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Studies of the Quran, Sunnah and Consensus of Scholars has shown that it is permissible to combine ONLY two salaat at a time. These two are Zuhur/Asr and Magrib/Isha. Meaning you cannot combine asr and magrib etc. It is permissible for the person who is travelling to combine two prayers if it will be too difficult for him to perform the second prayer on time. Note that we cannot pray ANY salaat before the time for such salaat. If you intend to travel before zuhur, you cannot pray zuhur before zuhur time but can delay zuhur and combine it with Asr at asr time. Similarly if you are working and you notice you can pray zuhur on time at your break time but will not be able to pray asr at asr time then you can make up your mind to add Asr to zuhur. You can do similarly to magrib and Isha whenever you face any di...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulAhad, 7th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Sunday, 13th January, 2019). ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT FOR HIS SERVANTS. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH(Almighty God) is sufficient for us, and HE is Al-Wakeel(the best disposer of affairs). Aren't you proud to be a servant to our CREATOR of the entire Universe and beyond? Lets rely on HIM alone bcs HE is Sufficient for us and none can help us without HIS permission and none can harm us without HIS permission so keep your obedient to ALLAH intact and fear none. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (صلى الله Ų¹Ł„ŁŠŁ‡ و سلم) said, “How can I feel comfort while the angel responsible for The Trumpet has placed The Trumpet to his mouth and lowered his forehead, awaiting when he will be commanded (by ALLAH to blow in it) for Judgement day to commence? His companions sitting with him said, “O Allah’s Messenger, what should we say?” He said, “Say: ALLAH is sufficient for us, and HE is Al-Wakeel (the best disposer of affairs);...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 6th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Saturday, 12th January, 2019). CAN I OBEY MY PARENTS ORDER OR COMMANDS TO DIVORCE MY WIFE? BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Undoubtedly our parents are those who are most deserving of respect, obedience and kind treatment. ALLAH mentions the command to treat parents well alongside the command to worship HIM as HE says (interpretation of the meaning): “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but HIM. And that you be dutiful to your parents”[al-Isra’ 17:23]. Obedience to parents is obligatory on the child with regard to that which will benefit them and will not harm the child or what is good. With regard to that which does not bring them any benefits or which will cause harm to the child, and more importantly goes agaist the commands of ALLAH, he does not have to obey them in that case. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may ALLAH have mercy on him) said in al-Ikhtiyaaraat (p. 114): A person is obliged to obey...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 5th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Friday, 11th January, 2019). Pure Islamic Bath to take before going for Jumuat today. Share to others please. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Both the essential and voluntary acts are now integrated here below to demonstrate how the Prophet (Peace be upon him) used to perform the ghusl: I. Intend by heart to perform ghusl and say BismilLah. Wash both hands up to the wrists well. Wash your private parts properly. Perform wudhu as normal for salaat but can once each part, except that the washing of feet should be delayed until later when the rest of the body is washed. Pour water over the head three times, massaging the hair to allow the water to reach its roots. Pour water liberally over the entire body, starting with the right side and then the left, ensuring that no part of the body is left untouched by water, including armpits, inside the earlobes, inside the navel, between fingers and toes etc. making sure they ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 4th Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 10th January, 2019). Let's Explore the Quran for more about the rewards of patience. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH exhorts HIS slaves to seek help with patience and prayer when facing calamities that may befall a person. ALLAH says “And seek help in patience and As-Salaah (the prayer) and truly, it is extremely heavy and hard except for Al-Khaashi‘oon [i.e. the true believers in ALLAH, those who obey ALLAH with full submission, fear much from HIS punishment, and believe in HIS Promise (Paradise) and in HIS Warnings (Hell)]”Quran 2:54. ALLAH states that the victory of attaining Paradise and being saved from Hell will be won only by those who are patient, as HE says “Verily, I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful” 23:111. AlhamdulilLah. May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu and Al-Qayyuum, The Living and the Maintainer of Life) have mercy on us and ease ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ithnayn, 1st Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Monday, 7th January, 2019). ISLAM DESTROY PAST SINS. Let's find out how and share to others please. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked a similar question, about someone who earned money by dealing in drugs before he became Muslim. He replied: We say to this person whom ALLAAH has blessed with Islam after he had earned haraam (unlawful) wealth: be of good cheer, for this wealth is permissible for him and there is no sin on him in it, whether he keeps it or gives it in charity, or uses it to get married, because ALLAAH says in His Holy Book (interpretation of the meaning): “Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief), their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning)”[al-Anfaal 8:38] i.e., all that has passed, in general terms, is for...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulAhad, 30th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Sunday, 6th January, 2019). ALLAH AND HIS ANGELS BLESSING UPON OUR MESSENGER sallallahu alaihi wasallam. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. In Quran 33:56, we read; Indeed, ALLAH confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ALLAH to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ALLAH to grant him] peace. Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Laila: Ka'b bin 'Ujrah met me and said, "Shall I not give you a present I got from the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam? 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes, give it to me." He said, "We asked ALLAH'S Messenger saying, 'O ALLAH'S Messenger! How should one (ask ALLAH to) send As-Salaat upon you and your family, for ALLAH has taught us how to greet you?' He sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, 'Say: Allaahumma salli 'alaa Muhammadin wa 'alaa aali Muhammadin, kamaa sallaita 'alaa Ibrahi...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 29th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Saturday, 5th January, 2019). INSPIRATIONAL STORY TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN. Let's learn some lessons from it in shaa Allah. A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 28th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Friday, 4th January, 2019). ARE JINNS REAL? CAN ANYONE SEE THEM? CAN THEY HARM HUMAN BRINGS?. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Sheikh Muhammed Saalih Al-Munajjid in UK explained in one of his fatwas based on Qur'an and sunnah in which he said: Imam Ash-Shafi’i said: “Whoever is of sound character and claims to have seen the jinn, his testimony is no longer valid, because ALLAH says: ‘Verily, he(satan) and his qabeeluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them’ [7:27]. Only The Prophets of ALLAH can see them by the permission of ALLAH. Ibn Hazm said:   “The jinns are real, and they are creatures created by Allah. Among them are kafirs (non-Muslims) and believers. They can see us but we cannot see them. They eat, have children and die. Allah says:  ‘O you assembly of jinn and mankind!’ [6:130]. ‘And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire’ [1...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 27th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Thursday, 3rd January, 2019). WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM ALLAAH. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH the Most high, says, “Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to them ALLAH will give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and ALLAH will bestow on such people their reward according to the best of their actions.”[Al Qur’an 16:97]. The believers have a very good life, don’t be fooled by what you see. For sometimes what you see is not what you get. Sometimes you can see a wealthy disbeliever who has the world in his hands, but you can’t see what is going on in the inside, and he doesn’t know what the believers are feeling because he has never felt it. He feels happy with what he has and doesn’t know that there is something much better than that. Ibn Taymiyah (May ALLAH have mercy on him) said “If the kings knew the happiness and pleasure that we feel in our hearts, they woul...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ArbaĆ , 26th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Wednesday, 2nd January, 2019). OUR TOPIC TODAY IS ON BETRAYAL. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. One of our soul's defects that brutally affects our ties with our Creator, ALLAH as well as our relationships with others is betrayal. Betraying is an unfaithful act characterized by deliberate but hidden deceiving, lying and scheming. Because of the intentional secretive planning that is involved in betrayal, its victims are always taken by surprise. The most harmful consequence of betraying is the sudden and abrupt destruction of the bond of trust, loyalty, and confidence that exists in different kinds of social relations. This results in a deep sense of disappointment and serious damage of the integrity of such relationships. ALLAH says in Quran 8:27 to the nearest meaning "O you who believe, do not betray God and the messenger, and do not betray those who trust you, now that you know. Students of the...
