DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 11th day of Muharram (Tuesday 10th September, 2019). MUSIC AND DANCING VERSES ISLAM. BismilLah.

Many Muslims and non Muslims ask frequently why Muslims are discouraged to listen to music of their choice and to dance to people of their choice and some even says it's an abuse on individual freedom. Is like saying I have freedom to steal, freedom to fornicat, freedom to murder etc.
We human beings have been created for a noble purpose. ALLAH Most High says: “I have created jinn and humans only that they serve (worship) me” (Surah al-Dhariyat, 56). Music and temporary entertainments sink the human in physical pleasures and prevent him/her from true spiritual gains. In summary, music has a great role to play in preventing a human from realising the purpose of creation. One harmful nature of music is that it instills the ideologies of the Non-religious people in the heart and mind. The messages of today’s music follow a general theme of haraam form of love, fornication, drugs and freedom to commit sins. We find that the whole world is obsessed with the Kufr idea of unrestrained freedom, i.e. freedom of speech and movement, etc… This idea of freedom, “it’s my life, I’ll do what I want” is a predominant theme of music today. It is used as a means of drilling satanic ideologies into the hearts and minds, which are totally contrary to Islamic values and teachings.

As Muslims we must always ask if anything that takes our time and efforts are within the teachings of Islam or sunnah of the Prophet. Is it part of the sunnah to be listening to music or Quran? Today, our Islamic ways of Marriage is being turned into non Islāmic ways by inviting the kuffar to play these haraam music with some Muslims openly dancing and singing along with both sexes. We know intermixing is not permissible but look at what happens in our weddings today? Beginning Halaal Marriage with haraam form of entertainment and dress. Why should we then be surprised with today's rate of divorce in our communities? Let's stay away from such places where music and dancing takes place if you can't stop such things.

May ALLAH guide us from the tricks of shaitaan. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Muharram (Friday 28th August 2020). ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE. BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) (again) said: Who has followed a funeral procession today? Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - the Holy Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy today Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu ...

 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...
