THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 27th day of Shawwaal (Sunday 30th June, 2019). THE SIMPLE SIMPLE SINS WE MUST AVOID. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Simple sins are easy and it takes absolute fear of ALLAAH to stay away from them. From Free mixing to free thinking, even those of us who you think should know are not left out including myself. No one is perfect but we can only be better through our efforts to repent, regret and seek forgiveness as ALLAH loves to forgive Alhamdulillah. Your best friend is the one who can point your mistakes and errors so never feel upset if someone point to your error or mistakes but we must correct others with wisdom without making it feel mockery or insult. Sheitaan is our enemy and he has lots of traps to weaken our eemaan. Example, Many have become so engrossed in music that they hardly pay attention to the recitation of Qur'an. The music has corrupted their heart to love listening to Qur'an. From so called R&B, Reggae to B...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 26th day of Shawwaal (Saturday 29th June, 2019). LET'S PAY OUR DEBTS BEFORE DEATH KNOCK ON US. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Islam takes the matter of debt very seriously and warns against it and urges the Muslim to avoid it as much as possible. It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may ALLAAH be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) used to say in his prayer: “Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt).” Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!” He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (832) and Muslim (589). Al-Nasaa’i (4605) narrated that Muhammad ibn Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting with the Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he raised his head towards the...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 25th day of Shawwaal (Friday 28th June, 2019). *_LIVING WITH ISLAMIC IDENTITY_*. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Working with bad colleagues or studying with bad mates is a challenge for all Muslims today. Islam is a complete way of life as such if we want to succeed both on earth and the hereafter, we must adhere to the teachings of Islam. Our lifestyle must be a source of daawah (preaching to non Muslims). Instead of trying to cope with the lifestyle of those around you, you must rather live an Islamic lifestyle that others may wish to question you about which may turn to be the opportunity to sell the beauty and truthfulness of Islam to them. In our modern educational system fellow students can have a devastating effect on the moral and piety of a Muslim. These pressures should never be underestimated, which can intimidate a Muslim into taking drugs, smoking, 'hanging out' with a socialize friends; to nightclubs, and having i...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 24th day of Shawwaal (Thursdays 27th June, 2019). THE VIRTUE OF RECONCILIATION. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. As Muslims we must strive to forgive each other and reconcile between ourselves if we want ALLAH to forgive us and grant us successful life on earth and afterwards. Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday. ALLAH forgives every servant who does not associate anything with him except a man with hatred between himself and his brother. It will be said: Delay these two until they reconcile, delay these two until they reconcile. Sahih Muslim 2565. SubhaaAllah today we are not only hating each, we are killing each other astaqfirulLah. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arbaà, 23rd day of Shawwaal (Wednesday 26th June, 2019). RACE, DISCRIMINATION ETC ARE FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. It's a sad reality that discrimination has become part of Muslims attitude towards each other. In Europe or abroad in particular, you go to some masjids especially those dominated by the middle east brothers and sisters, they look at you as if you shouldn't be part of them. Some don't even stand shoulder to shoulder with you and they hardly ask for your wellbeing even if you missed some days absence to masjid. To even get them to mourn with you when you loose your relative is difficult for them just because of our colour. Islam strictly rejects the whole notion of racism and condemns it to its very core. The religion of Islam stands on a solid foundation based on the concept of mutual love and brotherhood, which in essence, out rightly rejects discrimination based on color, race, ethnicity, blood, ...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 22nd day of Shawwaal (Tuesday 25th June, 2019). STEPS IN CURING OUR DEPRESSION. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's note that most of our problems in life such as depression are due to our disobedience to ALLAH. Some of us claim to love ALLAH but by mouth not by action. One of the means to resolve all that is sincere Tau’bah (Repentance): The heart, brain, soul, body etc cannot find peace of mind if we don't obey the rules of its CREATOR, ALLAH. Depression is caused by displeasing Almighty ALLAH. When a person transgresses the Laws of ALLAH, he/she is inflicted with various types of harms such as depression automatically. It is for this reason we are taught in Islam that Whoever makes Istighfaar in abundance and sincerely, ALLAH will make a way out for him from every difficulty, free him from depression and anxiety and ALLAH will grant him sustenance from avenues he will not imagine. “Why should ALLAH punish you if you hav...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 21st day of Shawwaal (Monday 24th June, 2019). Excellence of meeting with a smiling Countenance and Politeness in Speech. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH, the Exalted, says: "And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).'' (15:88) "And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you.'' (3:159). Adi bin Hatim (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of ALLAH (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell) even if it be only with half a date-fruit (given in charity); and if you cannot afford even that, you should at least say a good word.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. This Hadith highlights the point that Sadaqah has great benefits and even in its minimum scope and quantity it can ensure our safety against Hell-fire. We are told that if we do not have even a single date or half of i...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 20th day of Shawwaal (Sunday 23rd June, 2019). REALITIES OF THE GRAVE. Let's fear ALLAH and repent from our sins. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Its important to remind each other that, if we don't mine going to Jannat or Paradise as such decide not to be bothered to obey ALLAH fully, we MUST then fear HIS PUNISHMENT from the time of death till Judgement day through our grave. The fear of ALLAH'S punishment alone must be enough reason to fully obey HIM. To openly disobey ALLAH by sinning such as fornication, stealing, gambling, riba based transactions etc, it means you don't want HIS Jannat and don't fear HIS punishment astaqfirulLah. Let's remember that, when son of Aadam dies and his soul departs and he is placed in his grave, then he is in the first stage of the hereafter, because the grave is the first of the stages of the hereafter. Even if you die through drowning or got burnt to ashes you will still face the ...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 19th day of Shawwaal (Saturday 22nd June, 2019). KIND TREATMENT OF OUR WIVES IS OBLIGATORY. Bismillah ALLAH ordered believers not to treat their wives harshly and live with them honourably. If you dislike them for some reasons, it may be that you dislike something and ALLAH brings through her a great deal of good"(Quran 4:19) and ALLAH says again: "And among HIS signs are that: He created for us wives from among ourselves that we might find rest in our wives, and HE ordained between us love and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for people who reflect" (30:21). Thus wise men. Let's note that women are a blessings for us and a trust for us from ALLAH. Treating our wives with kindness is an obligation and must be taking care of for ALLAH sake. Our wives are not slave girls and even during times of slavery, ALLAH commanded Muslims to treat them with dignity, marry them, treat them like we will do to non slave wives, ...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 18th day of Shawwaal (Friday 21st June, 2019). WARNING FROM ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY WHO IS THE ONLY ONE WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Today we are witnessing many of our brothers and sisters deviating from Islam into other falsehood religion bcs they want to marry non Muslims for worldly gains. We must not compromise with non Muslims when it comes to religious matters. ALLAH warns HIS believing servants against following the ways of the People of the Book, who envy the believers for the favor that ALLAH given us by sending HIS Messenger to us. ALLAH says, (Many of the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish that they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of their own envy) [2:109]. This is A very clearance warning but hmmmmm today many don't care. In this Ayah [3:100], ALLAH says, (If you obey a group of those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians), they would (i...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Arbaá, 16th day of Shawwaal (Wednesday 19th June, 2019). HOW TO HANDLE OBSTACLES IN LIFE. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. If you are trying to follow ALLAH'S guidance, but you find yourself confronted by obstacles and hardship, don’t despair. The hardship is probably a sign that you are on the right path. Consider our Prophets (may ALLAH bless them all) who faced tremendous obstacles: The Prophet Ibrahim (alayhis-salam, peace be upon him) was disowned by his family and thrown by his people into a blazing fire; ALLAH rescued him from that, and made him the father of two nations Through Ismaaael and Ishaaq may ALLAH'S blessings be upon them. ALLAH inspired the mother of the baby Musa (as) and told the mother to place her infant into a chest and send it floating down the River Nile. That must have been an enormously difficult plan to follow, but she trusted her Lord, with the result that an entire people were eventually freed from bondage...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 15th day of Shawwaal (Tuesday 18th June, 2019). THE IMPORTANCE of OBEDIENCE to OUR PARENTS. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The respect we ought to pay our parents has been time and time again emphasized in the Holy Qur'an. In one of the verses it is stated: "Thy Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and you be kind to your parents." (Qur'an 17:23). Let's Be grateful with our parents. It is one of the cardinal principles of good manners and the acknowledgement of debt to them. One should be grateful to the parents for all the kindness, extraordinary love, and unparalleled sacrifices they under went in bringing us up. The Almighty has decreed that when we render thanks to Him, we should express gratitude to our parents as well. Allah says: "And Allah has enjoined on man (To be good) to his parents: In travail upon travail did his mother bear him. And in years twain was his weaning: (hear the comm...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 14th day of Shawwaal (Monday 17th June, 2019). ALLAH IS OUR PROTECTIVE FRIEND, OUR WALI. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. We have different categories of friends. Some friends are fun to hang out with, but that is pretty much it; you cannot exactly rely on them. Other friends are there for you but don’t always give you the best advice. But there are some friends, or that one friend, that truly has your back. The friend you would call to bail you out, because you have no doubt that they will, no matter how much trouble you are in. This friend is actually protective of you, such friend is constantly reminding you of ALLAH, Jannah. Jahannam etc. Think for a moment: do you have a friend like that? ALLAH, subhanahu wa ta’ala (Exhalted is HE), tells us that HE is that Protective Friend. HE is al-Wali. ALLAH says in the Qur’an: “And it is HE who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads HIS MERCY. And HE is the Protective F...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 13th day of Shawwaal (Sunday 16th June, 2019). RELIGIOUS ARGUMENTS ARE PROHIBITED IN ISLAAM. Bismillah. Alhamdulillah for HIS guidance in making us Muslims but lets note that it comes with responsibilities and Sacrifices of our desires. Lets try to do daawah to non Muslims and Naseehah to fellow Muslims regularly but we must avoid disputes because The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The believer does not dispute and I will not intercede on the Day of Resurrection for those who dispute, so leave arguing for its lack of good.” [Authenticated by imam Tabaraani]. ALLAH, the Most High, says in this regard, “None dispute in the Aayaat (signs, proofs) of ALLAH except those who disbelieve.” [Surah Ghaafir, Ayat 4]. A man came to al-Hasan al-Basri and said, “I wish to debate with you about the Religion.” Al-Hasan replied, “I know my Religion. If you have lost your Religion go out and look for it!” Lets adopt the approach of the Salaf...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 12th day of Shawwaal (Saturday 15th June, 2019). WHAT TO SAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH DAILY SALAAT. BismilLah. The Sunnah (Prophetic guidance) is for the Muslim to say after every obligatory prayer, whether he or she prayed as an imam (leader) or behind an imam or on his or her own is to say Astaghfirullah (I ask ALLAH for forgiveness) three times, then Allahumma anta al-salam wa minka al-salam tabarakta ya dhal-jalaali wa’l-ikraam (O ALLAH, You are the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour). After this then we should follow the sunnah as follows; Reported by Abu Hurayrah(RA) from the Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever glorifies ALLAAH (says Subhaan ALLAAH) thirty-three times immediately after each prayer, and praises ALLAAH (says Al-hamdu Lillaah) thirty-three times, and magnifies ALLAAH (says Allaahu akbar) thi...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 11th day of Shawwaal (Friday 14th June, 2019). The Importance of Halal Sustenance. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. There is no doubt that one of the obligations upon the Muslim is that he/she earn for him/herself and his family a pure and halal sustenance. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "O People! ALLAH is al-Tayyib (Pure), and HE only accepts that which is pure! ALLAH has commanded the believers what HE has commanded the Messengers, for HE said, 'O Messengers! Eat from the pure foods, and do right,' and HE said, 'O you who believe! Eat from the pure and good foods ALLAH have given you.'" Then the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) mentioned a traveller on a long journey, who is dishevelled and dusty, and he stretches forth his hands to the sky, saying, "O my Lord! O my Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, a...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Arbaà, 9th day of Shawwaal (Wednesday 12th June, 2019). RAMADHAN IS GONE AND MASJIDS BACK TO EMPTY MODE SUBHAANALLAH. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. It's a sad reality that majority of us today are Muslims of Occasions such as Jumuat Muslims, Ramadhan Muslims etc. May ALLAH have mercy on us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen. Let's fear ALLAH brothers and sisters in Islam and be Muslims full time and in all time. Imam Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If people knew the virtues in the call to prayer and the first row of prayer and that they could not get it without drawing lots, then they would surely draw lots. If they knew the virtue in joining prayer at the beginning of its time, then they would race to it. If they knew the virtue in prayer at evening and at dawn, then they would surely come even if they had to crawl.” Saheeh Bukhar...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 8th day of Shawwaal (Tuesday 11th June, 2019). RULINGS ON REPEATED SINS. BismilLah. It's not the nature of a true believer to keep commiting the same sins after repenting BUT never give up repenting regardless of how many times you commit the sins till Satan is defeated as ALLAH is always ready to forgive whenever we call on HIM sincerely. Al-Bukhaari (7507) and Muslim (2758) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that his Lord said: “My slave commits sin, then he says, ‘O ALLAAH forgive me my sin.’ Then ALLAAH says, ‘My slave has committed a sin, but he knows that he has a Lord Who forgives sin and takes away sin. So I forgive My slave.’ Then he commits sin again, and says, ‘O ALLAAH, forgive me my sin.’ Then ALLAAH says, ‘My slave has committed a sin, but he knows that he has a Lord Who forgives sin and takes away sin. So I forgive My slave.’ Then he commits sin again, and...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 7th day of Shawwaal (Monday 10th June, 2019). THE ONENESS OF GOD IN ISLAM. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The Jews says they worship Uzayr as the son of ALLAH. The Christians says they worship Jesus Christ, Issah Alaihi salaam as the son/part of ALLAH. The Zoroastrians says they worship the sun and the moon as symbols of ALLAH and the idolators says they worship idols as physical representation of ALLAH. But ALLAH revealed to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to tell mankind that: ALLAH is the name of the CREATOR, ALLAH is ONE and ONLY. ALLAH is HE on Whom all depend. HE begets not, nor is HE begotten. And none is like HIM. Qur’an 112:1-4. This is the teaching of God complete Oneness and it is the essence of Islam. All other laws, beliefs and commands of Islam are built on this foundation. Take it away, and there is nothing left of the religion. God name is unique “ALLAH ” is the proper and personal name appli...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 6th day of Shawwaal (Sunday 9th June, 2019). WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADAN ABOUT OUR SALAAT? BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. SALAAT is the first and most important command in the commands of ALLAH after the Shahaadah. It’s wisdom and significance has been mentioned both in the Holy Qur’an and in various hadiths. One can easily deduce from both sources that Salaat relates to life and affects the life in a big way. The entire world and creations within it are engaged in glorifying ALLAH (subhaanahu Wata Aalaa) and submitting to HIS commands. Aayah 5-6 of Surah Al-Rahman says: “The sun and the moon follow their circulated course; the plants and trees submit to HIS designs.”And Aayah 41 of Surah Nur says: “[Rasuul Allah], do you not see that all those who are in the heavens and earth praise ALLAH, as do the birds with wings out stretched? Each knows its [own way] of prayer and glorification of ALLAH: ALLAH has full knowledge of what they do...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of Shawwaal (Saturday 8th June, 2019). PRIDE AND ARROGANCE ARE ONLY TOOLS FOR LIFE DESTRUCTION. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Nothing in life is worth fighting for aside striving to build our relationship with our CREATOR, ALLAH. Always remember that your best clothes is someone's rag, your account balance is someone's donation at a function, your girl friend/boy friend or fiance/fiancee' is someone's Ex. Every single prostitute you see in a hotel or on the street at night was at some point in time a virgin. So what is the squabble all about? Life is too short to feel bigger or better than anybody. We are all tuned live to death. Nothing can save us from it. I hate to see people who Brag about wealth, beauty, intelligence, level of education, fame and material possessions. There's nothing you've achieved in life that no one else has never gotten. There's only one thing that is worth bragging which is ...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 4th day of Shawwaal (Friday 7th June, 2019). TRUE STORY TO LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM. PLEASE PARDON ME FOR THE LENGTH. BUT IT WORTH SPENDING FEW MINUTES TO READ THROUGH. It's happening to many brothers and sisters and can happen to you. Don't waste your time with anyone till you are ready to marry. Read through the question and the advice given please. Question: Assalaamu Alaikum SHEIKH, I am currently in a very bad situation. I was with a girl for roughly around 2-3 years during school. We were so close, spending literally every day with each other. We broke up just before school finished, and it was like hell for me. I couldn't sleep, eat or drink; I could not even think properly without my gut dropping inside and my lips quivering away. It took me two years to get over her and get my self steady. Then last year, she came back into my life and now she has left me once again simply because she said she was unhappy. The thing is...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 3rd day of Shawwaal (Thursday 6th June, 2019) SOME STEPS TO PROTECT US FROM SATAN'S RETURN. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Don't make the Quran a decoration piece until next Ramadan. Let's try our best each day to recite the Quran atleast 30 minutes each day as minimum. We should also try to understand the meaning of what we read. If we don't do this then we can't understand what it is that ALLAH is trying to tell us. And ofcourse, We should learn to live our lives with the teachings from the Quran. This is the true way to show ALLAH that we love HIM and we do everything for HIS pleasure. Not only the Quran but more importantly the sunnah of our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam. Without the sunnah we cannot even comprehend the Quran. Please accept my apologies if I could not respond to your questions for the past few days especially yesterday as I was so busy all day and all this week. May AL...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Arbaà, 2nd day of Shawwaal (Wednesday 5th June, 2019) WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADAN. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Are we Muslims for ALLAH or Muslims for Ramadan? If you are a Muslim for Ramadan then note that Ramadan is gone but if you are a Muslim for ALLAH then note that ALLAH is watching us so let's fear HIM and avoid going back to our sinful acts. Even though the month of Ramadan is gone, sunnah fastings must continue to aid us from avoiding going back to our sinful acts. We now have 6 days fasting in shawwal aside mondays, Thursday's, 13th, 14th and 15th each Islamic calendar sunnah fastings if we truly wants to get closer to ALLAH and abandon sheitan for good. Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-...

SPECIAL REMINDER. Yaum Ath-thalaatha 1st day of Shawwaal. EID MUBARAK TO YOU ALL. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR LAILAHAILLALAH WALAHU AKBAR ALAHU AKBAR WALILLAHILHAMD. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah Thummalhamdulillah for guiding us till this blessed joyous day. Sadly, Ramadhan is gone But most importantly, ALLAH is always with us as such Ramadhan mood should remain for ALLAH sake. For those who are not praying today, we love you all, we pray that ALLAH accept it from us all. May ALLAH accept all our good ibaadaat in Ramadan, and forgive our mistakes. May ALLAH ease the pains of all suffering Muslims and grant us victory over the kuffar. May ALLAH heal all sick Muslims, May ALLAH grant us pious husbands and wives. May ALLAH bless our marriages and grant us pious children. May ALLAH protect us from any satanic influences. May Allah increase us in eemaan and increase us in knowledge of the deen. May Allah purify our hearts and grant us whatever will benef...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 29th day of Ramadhan (Monday 3rd June, 2019). SO WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN? BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. AlHamdulillahi for guiding us all through the blessed month. We are leaving the blessed month of Ramadan, its beautiful days and its fragrant nights. We leave the month of the Qur'an, taqwa, patience, jihad, mercy, forgiveness and freedom from hellfire. Have we fulfilled the requirements of taqwa? Have we fought our souls and desires and defeated them, or have we been overtaken by our customs and blind imitations? Have we performed our actions in a way that fulfills the conditions for receiving mercy, forgiveness and release from the Fire? Many questions and numerous thoughts come to the heart of the sincere Muslim, who asks and answers with truthfulness. What Have We Gained From Ramadan? Ramadan is a school of eeman and a 'stop to recharge one's spiritual batteries' - to acquire one's provision for the rest o...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 28th day of Ramadhan (Sunday 2nd June, 2019). SEEKING KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ANY ACT OF WORSHIP. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Imam Bukhari may ALLAH be pleased with him wrote a chapter heading "Knowledge comes before Statements and Actions". It is obligatory upon us not to act except with knowledge, and not worship ALLAAH except with knowledge, so we do not worship ALLAAH Subhanahu with ignorance or following desires. If you don't know anything especially when it comes to acts of worship then please always ask students of knowledge so that we can worship with knowledge without wasting our time. We know ALLAH mentioned that salaat alone should be able to stop us from committing zina and all wrong ways of life if we perform it properly, so imagine your salaat doesn't stop you from fornication, stealing, gambling etc, it basically means your salaat is deficient, not sufficient or not been accepted as such it makes no difference...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul As-Sabt, 27th day of Ramadhan (Saturday 1st June, 2019). HOW DANGEROUS IS OUR TONGUE? BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. As we approaches the last few days of Ramadan in which Laylatul qadar may appear if not come and gone, It's very important to note that Ramadan is not about only avoiding eating, sexual relationship etc but equally and more importantly, protecting our fasting by speaking good words or remaining silence throughout the day bcs a single act of backbiting, slandering etc will automatically damage our fasting from achieving any rewards for it. Therefore, the servant must beware! We could invalidate all our fasting and prayer from just one gathering. There is no success for us unless we learn how to imprison our tongues from vain talk. ALLAH has placed this tongue of ours in a prison, it does not come out except when there is a need for it. You will find ninety percent of the time our tongues are not engaged in zikir. Rather we cho...
