THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 26th day of Shăbaan, 1440, (Thursday, 2nd May, 2019).
BUYING OUR JANNAT (PARADISE) ON DUNYA (EARTH) ESPECIALLY DURING RAMADAN. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
All worldly things are a trial for mankind (including wealth, businesses, families, careers, Children, Partners etc.). Wealth leads the destruction if not put in check. Majority of the problems challenging the world are because of fitnah(trials) of money. If we go back to the times of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his noble companions, we see that their approach towards wealth was in stark contrast to what is the approach of We Muslims (and others) nowadays. The reason is simple; they understood Islam and followed it precisely, whereas we do not follow Islam sincerely. It is a matter of grave concern. Even in Ramadan, some are finding ways to avoid fasting, some suspending their haraam relationship temporary AstaghfirulLah, what a joke and risk to our soul.
ALLAH says in Surah Al-Baqarah: “O you who believe! Spend of that which I have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Zalimun(wrongdowers).” Quran 2:254. Also ALLAH encourages HIS servants to spend in HIS cause. ALLAH says:
“Who is he/she that will lend to ALLAH a goodly loan so that HE may multiply it to him many times? And it is ALLAH that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto HIM you shall return.” Quran 2: 245. Spending in the ALLAH’s way is called “a beautiful loan”. That's feeding the poor, relatives in need, supporting learned Islamic Teachers etc.
These verses from Holy Qur’an tells us that a Muslim should spend his/her wealth in this life. Don't keep saying forgetting that you can die any moment and be accountable for how you got the money and why you are keeping it instead of spending it. The amassed wealth shall be of no benefit for a person on the ‘Day of Judgment’ or when we die. Imagine you dying today having lots of savings in your accounts comparing to you spending it Islamically having empty accounts like mine😊, thats a real savings. There are many ways which we can ensure that our spending is in the Way of ALLAH. Let me highlight some points in this context especially during Ramadan:
a) Support own families especially on our wives and children; b) Support relatives who are financially weak; c) Support orphans; d) Support other poor people etc. So let's save little and spend more on charitable ways with intention to please ALLAH.
We ask ALLAH to aid us in spending our income as savings for our hereafter and increase us whiles we spend for HIS sake. 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...
