THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 18th day of Rajab, 1440, (Sunday, 24th March, 2019). Let's remind each other and also our children how TAQWA is the major part of our religion and how to instil TAQWA in our daily lives. This was shared to me by one of my beloved sisters yesterday and I just edited it a bit to re-share. BismilLah. What is TAQWA? TAQWA is not only about manners, not about looking Islamic, not about sporting a beard or wearing a Hijab, not about appearance BUT TAQWA is when you miss a prayer, you feel uneasy the whole day, when you speak a lie, you feel bad, the guilt that follows when you hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly, the shame and regret that follows a sin you committed knowing full well how it stands in the sight of ALLAH, when you cannot sleep after disobeying or disrespecting your parents, to cry in the depths of night fearing none but the one above the Arsh (Thrown), the fear that refrains us from sinning when nobody familiar is around. the guts and the will to please ALLAH, even when the whole world is hell bent on displeasing HIM, to wear that beard and Hijab for the sole reason of pleasing our Creator and to keep it on as per Sunnah, to stay happy and smiling, knowing that this world is like a prison for believers, the good manners and character we practice for the sake of ALLAH, the struggle to better ourselves according to Islam, with each passing day, not just about rising in deen, but about falling, rising again and never letting go! TAQWA is all about what is IN OUR HEARTS. And if our hearts are filled with proper TAQWA, then actions automatically follow be-iznilLah And the sweetness of these actions is so fulfilling! Peace and Tranquility descend to our hearts that shines to display our ways of life. Share to others as ALLAH Subhaanahu Ta'aalaa says: Remind, for reminder benefits the believers. May ALLAH aid us to practice what we learn. 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. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
