THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 11th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1440, (Saturday, 16th February, 2019). YES OUR ACTIONS ARE JUDGED BY OUR INTENTIONS BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Imam Umar bin al-Khattab (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of ALLAH (peace be upon him), say: "Actions are judged according to our intentions, ...." This is recorded in both Bukhari and Muslim. The connection between action and intention highlights the connection between the physical and the spiritual components of any human. This hadith emphasizes on the importance of having an intention for every physical act that we do, and the importance of having a purpose for every action. It also brings to the forefront our conscious intention and the need to make the connection between our physical actions and their spiritual consequences. Intentions lead to results. When a change in intention occurs, a change in the external conditions will follow. Intention is also enough for ALLAH to make a change in our reality, so we should not belittle the necessary change in intention that has to occur in order for our external condition to change. Specifically in regards to Islamic work and worship, the quality of intention is very important. Involvement in Islamic work should not be primarily intended for marriage or fame, but to worship ALLAH, help our community and spread love amongst our community. Everything we do has to be intended for the sake of ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and The Majestic). A good action with the wrong intention will not get us any reward in the Hereafter. This basically means our actions must be in accordance with the teachings of ALLAH and HIS Messenger sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam. Don't do anything wrong then say your intention is not as you did it. There are sinful acts that must be avoided as such do not act wrongly then say actions are by intentions. Do the right thing and do it with good intentions. Don't try justifying any of your disobedience to ALLAH then say your intentions are in your heart. Don't dress as you wish then say your action is not to disobey ALLAH. Open disobedience is sinful and a major sin especially when you try to justify it. May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu, Al-Qayyuum, The Living and Maintainer of Life) aid us to act only to please HIM . Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...

Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
