THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 30th day of Rajab, 1440, (Saturday, 6th April, 2019). Prophet Muhammad (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam), The TRUTHFUL and RIGHTEOUS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was recognized, even by the Quraish of Mekkah, his worst enemies, who called him by the name of as-Sidddiq (the truthful) and al-Ameen (the trustworthy) long before his Prophet hood because of his honest and truthful dealings as a trader. But the titles al-Ameen and as-Sidddiq do not simply imply honesty in money matters alone; they are comprehensive and cover righteousness in every form.  Whoever happened to have any dealings with him at this early period never ceased to praise him all his life. The consistency of his honest and truthful conduct is proven by the fact that he began his mission of Prophethood with the words: Laa ilaaha illa ‘Llah (there is no deity worthy of worship but ALLAH) and ended his Mission with the same thought when he said, on his death bed: “Lord! Blessed Companion on High.” Having sincerely and faithfully rendered his obligations towards ALLAH'S ’s creatures, he then returned to the loving bosom of ALLAH and His Companionship on High (Bukhari, 4463). He loved truth intensely, adhered to truth and preached truth all his life.  He never uttered a single lie all his life, either before or after his Prophethood. In the battle of Hunain, when the fighting became rough and fierce and the Muslim warriors were in disarray, and running in all directions and when defeat seemed certain, the Prophet was not in the least in doubt about his mission. He declared openly: “I am the Messenger of ALLAH; there is no untruth in this” (Bukhari, 4317). This implies that truth was deeply ingrained in the mind of the Prophet and the only thing he could do with it was to pass it on to his listeners. It is because of his universal reputation for honesty and integrity that ALLAH, the Mighty GOD in the Qur’an says: “0 Muhammad! ALLAH know that what they say grieves you, but it is not you whom they charge with falsehood; these wicked people are, in fact, denying the Revelations of your Lord, ALLAH ”(Qur’an, 6:33). The Prophet went further to say a true action leads to the path of virtue, and virtue paves the way of a person to paradise, and this person continues to speak the truth until, in the sight of ALLAH, he is named as-S’iddiq (the Truthful). Lying, on the other hand, leads to vice, and vice leads to indecent acts and a person goes on lying until, in the sight of ALLAH, he is called a liar (Bukhari, 116). This shows that truth brings peace of mind, but falsehood disturbs the mind. When the mind is disturbed as a result of vice, there is no way an individual can achieve peaceful coexistence with another brethren. This is also related to interpersonal transactions: A sale agreement is revocable until the buyer and seller part company. If they tell the truth and disclose everything relevant to the transaction, it becomes full of blessings for both of them; but if they speak falsely and conceal that which should be disclosed, the blessing of the transaction is wiped out. (Bukhari, 2079). May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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...
