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 not exist in this world except to know ALLAH and to worship HIM? ALLAH in HIS glorious Quraan says, “And I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship ME ALONE.” In order to worship ALLAH you must strive to become closer to HIM, know HIM. You must ponder the attributes of ALLAH in order to try to know HIM. In order to fear and love ALLAH, we are required to know HIM. Part of our worship is to know ALLAH. Whenever anything other than ALLAH is in our hearts, whenever any other than ALLAH is the ONE WHOM we love and submit to, then we invite corruption into our hearts and it leads to our destruction. Knowing that ALLAH is the cause of life for the individual is the second birth that every person who believes in ALLAH will experience. There is no doubt that knowing ALLAH is the greatest and noblest of knowledge. It is the Ilm, the beneficial knowledge we are encouraged to seek. When you learn about ALLAH, you are learning about the purpose of your existence. You are learning about living a life set on the right course. To know HIM then study HIS attributes, The 99 attributes are enough, study the Qur'an as a priority in life. May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) aid us in our efforts to know HIM better and to act only to please HIM. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 25th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 16th February. 2023). TOLERANCE WITH PEOPLE IN ISLAM. BismilLaah.  Tolerance (samah) is an important trait of a Muslim’s good character. We Muslims should be kind and gentle, patient with people, forgiving of bad character, and lenient whenever possible. The Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam commanded us to avoid causing unnecessary difficulty and hardship in people’s lives and to inspire people with graceful speech. Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people. Cooperate with each other and do not become divided. Sahih Bukhari 2873, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi. This command is closely related to the need of a Muslim to control his or her anger. Unrestrained anger leads to numerous sins and bad deeds, so Muslims must temper their anger with patience, tolerance, and the ability to hold back harmful words. Teasing, mockery, insults to others et...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 30th day of Rajab 1446AH, Thursday. 30th Jan. 2025). MEANING OF ALLAH CREATING HUMANS IN HIS OWN IMAGE.  BismilLah. Unfortunately, other faiths have made a serious mistake in trying to compare The CREATOR, ALLAH Azzawajal with HIS Creation human beings in physical appearance, and that's blasphemy and serious error  Sheikh AbuAmina, in one of his articles, explained that, in Islam, we believe that all people have been created in the “image” of ALLAH Azzawajal. But what does this mean? ALLAH Azzawajal is the creator of everything, including all people. That people are in the “image of ALLAH Azzawajal” means they are in the form that HE, ALLAH Azzawajal has chosen and honored for them, not that they resemble ALLAH Azzawajal in physical appearance or share in the Divine Essence. Just as we say a righteous person is the “servant of ALLAH” and a mosque is the “house of ALLAH” as a way to honor them, likewise is it an added dignity for pe...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. Today mark the day when ALLAH granted Musah alayhi salaam victory over Fir'awn. Today mark the day ALLAH humiliated HIS worse enemy on earth Fir'awn for his disbelief in ALLAH and claiming he was ALLAH. We are all fasting on this blessed day seeking forgiveness from ALLAH for our sins from last year till date as the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended.  Those who are unable to fast can still do much to earn lots of rewards especially our sisters and daughters in their monthly cycle. You can recite lots of azkaar and give sadaqah with your intention to seek forgiveness from ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
