DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 6th day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Wednesday 1st of January, 2020). STRENGTH LIES IN UNITY AND WEAKNESS IN DIVISION. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's consider this moral story. A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks tied with twine, and said to his oldest son: "Break it in pieces." Oldest son tried and tried, but with all his strength, he could not break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the bundle," said the father, "and each of you take one stick." When they had done so, he said to them: "Now, try to break your stick." Each stick was easily broken. "You see my meaning," said their father. He then add...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 5th day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Tuesday 31st of December, 2019). QUESTION: As a Muslim convert smoker, fornicator etc, I find it difficult if not impossible to fast and stop these evil actions. I haven't been successful to fast a single day in my life. I need advice please. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. In response to this question, One of the purposes of the practice of fasting in Islam is to help us overcome our destructive habits and create positive and life-enhancing habits and thus prepare us to face the challenges of life. Therefore, if you were to fast and turn to ALLAH for help, you can beat your smoking and other bad habits. Many people have overcome such unhealthy habits through fasting; so many of them have quit smoking, fornication etc during the month of Ramadhan after having addicted to it for ten to twenty years or even more; they have never turned back. You can also do the same, but before doing that you must gather en...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 4th day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Monday 30th of December, 2019). HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN ALLAH?. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. There is this one sin that we keep falling in again and again…and again. We keep on repenting and seeking forgiveness but we fall into it again and again. You give up. You submit to doing more sins. You think you’re hopeless. You fill your heart and mind with dark/desperate/hopeless thoughts. You think you’re worthless. You drown in negativity and desperation. At the end, those with no or weak eemaan commit suicide. If you fall in these category of Muslims, then Stop This Now! Never buy into this! Never. The battle is not over. You didn’t lose. You have the power to come back stronger and more triumphant than you ever were. ALLAH’s Mercy and Forgiveness are there for You! Yes for you! The only loser is the one who whispers to you thoughts of hopelessness and desperation and that's sheitaan. If you are reading t...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 3rd day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Sunday 29th of December, 2019). SHOW OFF IS A SERIOUS CRIME FOR OUR EEMAAN. BismilLah. Shaddad ibne Aws (radi Allahu anhu) once began to cry. People asked why he was crying, so he replied, “It is something I heard from Rasulullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) which makes me weep when I remember it. Rasulullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘I fear for my people Shirk (ascribing partners to ALLAH) and hidden desires.’ I asked: ‘O Rasulullah! Would your people be guilty of idolatry after your death?’ Rasulullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied: ‘Yes (but) they will not worship the sun, the moon, a stone or an idol; but they will act for display (without sincerity). Hidden desire is that one of them will start the day fasting, but when one of his desires will present itself to him; he will abandon his fast (and satisfy his desire).’” [Musnad Ahmed]. A man was offering his prayers in his house. He was praying...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 2nd day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Saturday 28th of December, 2019). THE PLEASURES OF PARADISE IN BRIEF. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. A glance at the nature of Paradise as described in the Quran and the saying of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). ALLAH says in the Quran: “And give good news (Oh Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that they will have gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....” (Quran 2:25). ALLAH says again: “Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise, whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for those who believe in ALLAH and HIS messengers....” (Quran 57:21). The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise will have ten times the like of the pleasures of this world,  and he or she will have whatever he or she desires and ten times like it. ...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 1st day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Friday 27th of December, 2019). DANGERS OF OUR TV'S THIS WEEK IN PARTICULAR. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. There is no doubt that this week is among the worse moments to watch Television bcs it is been bombarded with lies against ALLAH and HIS MESSENGER Issah Alaihi salaam. Let's learn what ALLAH says Angrily in Suuratul Maryam verse 90-91 that bcs the Christians saying that ALLAH has begotten a son, or whenever someone says ALLAH has a son, ALLAH become angry to the extend of allowing the mountains and the sky to crash us on this earth. This is how serious it is for what Chritmas is all about and some Muslims are ignorantly even offering gifts for thier kufur statements and some are wasting their time watching these shirk entertainment on TV and wishing them merry Christmas Astaghfirullah. Are we truly Muslims? Yes we can and should tolerate some things and be kind to Christians and other non Muslims but ...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 29th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Thursday 26th of December, 2019). LET'S REVIVE THE SUNNAH FOR ALLAH'S PLEASURE. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Abu Sa'eed (R.A), who was one of the companions of our beloved messenger of ALLAH narrated that,  He heared from the prophet saying "Indeed anyone who fast for one day for ALLAH’s Pleasure, ALLAH will keep his or her face away from the hell fire for a distance covered by a journey of seventy years. Meaning ALLAH will not punish such a person in Hell. ALLAHU AKBAR. This can be traced in Sahih Bukhari Vol 4, book 52, Hadith 93. The Prophet also said "Our deeds are also shown/ taking to ALLAH on Monday's and Thursday's and said he prefer his deeds are taken to ALLAH whiles he is fasting as such fasted each Mondays and Thursdays so lets emulate his example bcs he is the best role model to follow. Whiles doing all these, we must check and correct our ways of life and avoid ...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 28th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Wednesday 25th of December, 2019). STRIVE TO BE A FULL TIME MUSLIM. BismilLah. In Qur'an 18:29-31 ALLAH, may HE be exalted, says: “29. Oh Muhammad, say to mankind: ‘The truth is from your Lord.’ Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers), a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them (disbelievers in the Oneness of ALLAH). And if they ask for help (relief, water), they will be granted water like boiling oil, that will scald their faces. Terrible is the drink, and an evil Murtafaq (dwelling, resting place)! 30. Verily, as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, certainly We shall not make the reward of anyone who does his (righteous) deeds in the most perfect manner to be lost. 31. These! For them will be ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens); wherein rivers flow underneath them; therein th...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 27th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Tuesday 24th of December, 2019). LET'S STUDY THE QURAN. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH The Almighty says: “And as for those who strive hard for HIS guidance, HE will most certainly guide them onto the right ways”. (29:69). Which striving is greater than the endeavor to understand HIS Book? And which way is more straight than the Qur'an? “truly! this Qur’an guides to that which is most upright”. (17:9). The Holy Qur’an is a revelation in a book which by sound reasoning bestows insight upon man. It shows the right path to man by giving the accounts of the Prophets and the nations. It motivates human beings through parables, exhortations and admonitions. Find time to study the Quran and you will never regret your efforts. It's never too late to start so let's start now. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 26th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Monday 23rd of December, 2019). MARRIED COUPLE MUST AVOID ARGUING. BismilLah. Undoubtedly a great deal of criticism and arguing in marriage is something negative that undermines harmony, love and damages the marriage  and children's mind set. Married couple must  reduce that as much as possible, and to show restraint; each of us should force ourselves to be patient with the other and to avoid issues of arguments as sheitan is the winner at the end. Our Beloved messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam has advised that we must avoid arguing even if we are at the right side of the story. Argument is a tool which sheitan uses to damage relationship which is the number one of his priorities. Any human being COULD NOT be free of faults or shortcomings, because that is part of human nature, especially women, whose basic nature the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) has told us about, a...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 25th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Sunday 22nd of December, 2019). THE EVIL OF INTERMIXING. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The Messenger of ALLAH sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: “Never should a man be with a woman, except in the presence of a Mahram (i.e., her non-marriageable man).” A Mahram is a man whom she may never marry under any condition, either due to a blood-relationship (such as her brother, father and so on) or due to her breastfeeding from the same woman as that man, or due to marriage (like her father in-law). This prohibition is to prevent Satan spreading immorality and arousing lusts and thus instigating fornication and adultery. One may not shun the Islaamic commandments for the sake of customs, traditions, or his desires, because it is only Islam that commands people to that which is best, and to the noblest of morals. Gratitude to ALLAH is a secret code that unlocks amazing favours. May we be among those who always...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 24th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Saturday 21st of December, 2019). SEEKING THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. All mankind and jinnkind except ALLAH, will perish: "Whatsoever is on it [the earth] will perish; but the Face of our Lord, full of Majesty and Honor will abide forever.”Quran 55-26/27. So how could we not consider the Pleasure of ALLAH: to be our ultimate goal for which we strive and break away from whatever opposes it, so that we can have recourse to ALLAH'S protection and delight in HIM? ALLAH commanded the Prophet to tell us that we should flee to ALLAH front HIS Torment to HIS Mercy Verily, I Muhammad, I am a plain Warner to you from HIM.” [Surah Az-Zariyat (51), Ayah 50. The Pleasure of ALLAH, Mighty is HE, is an objective before which all other objectives diminish in importance: "And ALLAH is better [as regards reward in comparison to your reward], and more lasting [as regards punishment i...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 23rd day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Friday 20th of December, 2019). MAKE ALLAH YOUR DOCTOR FOR YOUR INFLICTIONS. BismilLah. AlhamdulilLah for granting us this blessed day. May ALLAH grant us the Blessings within the day and send our Salutations to our beloved Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Aameen. *Allaahummah Salli Alaa Muhammad, wa Alaa aali Muhammad, Wasallim*. Aameen. Our reminder on this blessed day is to remind each of us what our scholars has said in regards to difficulties we face on earth such as illnesses or some painful inflictions from ALLAH. Most times we disobey ALLAH openly or knowing it is wrong but does it anyway without fear of ALLAH'S punishment such as Zina (Fornication), stealing, delaying our salaat, disobedience to parents, religious innovations etc. *Sometimes* as a blessings to our souls, ALLAH may inflict us with some difficulties that will aid us to remember HIM and return to HIM seeking HIS MERCY. ...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Thursday 19th of December, 2019). STOP UNNECESSARY TALKING IN MASJID. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The masjid is a place of worship and other Islamic activities such as teaching about Islam etc. It is not for worldly conversations as such we must avoid it and humbly correct those who does that to stop for ALLAH sake. After the Salaat we should be engaged with the recommended zikir instead of talking to each other disturbing others praying. Is it appropriate to chat with a friend during lecture? How about discussing your vacation plans during a board meeting? Obviously Not. The house of ALLAH, the Masjid, also has a code of conduct to be observed in it. And during Salaat we must straighten the lines to perfect the Salaat and also consider each Salaat been our last Salaat standing in front of ALLAH with full concentration, if sheitan influence us with any thoughts during Salaat, just pause and seek protectio...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 21st day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Wednesday 18th of December, 2019). ETIQUETTES OF VISITING THE SICK. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Visiting the sick does not involve only those whom you know, rather it is prescribed for those whom you know and those whom you do not know. There is no sin in a man visiting a non-mahram woman, or a woman visiting a non-mahram man, so long as the following conditions are met: proper covering, no risk of fitnah, and no being alone together. There is no sin in visiting a mushrik kaafir who is sick, if that serves an interest. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) visited a Jewish boy and called him to Islam, and he became Muslim. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1356). And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was present when his paternal uncle Abu Taalib was dying, and he called him to Islam but he refused. Agreed upon. Du’aa’ should be made for the sick person in the manner narrate...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 20th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Tuesday 17th of December, 2019). HOW TO DISCIPLINE OURSELVES TOWARDS OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH WITHIN BAD ENVIRONMENT. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.  Man cannot benefit from what he has been told about goodness unless he himself takes an interest in that. Do you not know the story of the wife of Nooh and the wife of Loot, who were members of the households of two Prophets, one of whom was one of the Messengers of strong will? Imagine how these Prophets strove to guide their wives and how much guidance these wives received, but there was no interest on their part, so it was said to both of them: “Enter the Fire along with those who enter!”[Quran 66:10]. Whereas the wife of Pharaoh, even though she was a member of the household of one of the greatest evildoers, she is presented by ALLAAH as an example to those who believe because she disciplined herself within evil environment. What's our excuse that becaus...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 19th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Monday 16th of December, 2019). ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. AL-FATTAAH means, The Opener, The Judge. The One who opens all the doors of mercy, profit and sustenance to HIS slaves/servants. The gate of the solution of every difficut can be easily opened by HIM. HE makes clear what is unclear. Al-Fattaah is the One who judges between HIS slaves with perfect justice. ALLAH, Al-Fattah sends solutions when we least expect it.  Some matters may seem like dilemmas at first. Yuusuf alayhi salaam was imprisoned. But it was through the imprisonment that he  became the Minister. So remember that openings can come through things that look like problems to begin with so search the positives of every issues that's seems problematic and always remember Innamal Usri....  May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 18th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Sunday 15th of December, 2019). THE POWER OF MAKING DUA: BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The loss of Pride and arrogance. For someone that makes constant Dua, arrogance is something that is not among their characteristics because when one beseeches ALLAH, he is affirming his own powerlessness. The doors of mercy are opened. Abdullah bin Umar narrated that the Prophet said, “For whoever the door of Dua opened, for him the doors of mercy are opened...” (Tirmidhi). The Prophet once said, “Dua is Ibadah(Worship)” Since it is a type of worship, it is something that we must always do. This is even to the extent that the Prophet said, “ALLAH is extremely displeased with the person who doesn’t make dua.” (Tirmidhi). Try making Dua for others because if you do so, the same thing may also occur to you too. We ask ALLAH to have mercy on our ignorance, forgive our known and unknown sins, grant us good health and the good...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 17th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Saturday 14th of December, 2019). THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM. BismilLah. If you find yourself constantly prioritizing dunya over akhirah (Hereafter), it is time to strike a balance: So you have decided you want to be productive for the Hereafter? Alhamdulillah, making that intention is the first step! If you are still breathing, the doors of repentence are still open and it is not too late to make it to Jannah. The best form of investment is to do whatever you can to please the CREATOR especially with our acts of worship! Begin now, review how to correctly pray and establish your daily prayers, make a daily habit of reading The Qur’an and then acting upon it, learn sunnah actions and lessons from the life of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Have eeman in ALLAH and work righteous actions, and take small consistent steps to improve. You will enjoy super productivity in this world and joy in the next...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 15th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Thursday 12th of December, 2019). SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS A MAJOR CRIME AGAINST OURSELVES. Bismillah. Zina (fornication, adultery) is a serious crime and a major sin which takes away the quality of faith from a person, and exposes him or her to punishment and humiliation unless he/she repents. ALLAAH says; “And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Faahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin, and an evil way that leads one to hell unless ALLAAH Forgives)”[Quran 17:32]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No adulterer is a believer at the time when he is committing adultery” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2475) and Muslim (57). The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) has told us of the punishment that those who commit zina will receive in their graves before the Hour begins, and that they will be punished with fire. Narrated by al-Bukha...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 14th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Wednesday 11th of December, 2019). BLESSINGS  OF ALLAH ON US FOR OUR SALAAT. BISMILLAH. Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA), ALLAH'S  Messenger (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “A man’s Salat in congregation is 27 times more rewarding than his Salat at home or in his shop, and that is because when he performs his ablution properly and proceeds towards the mosque with the sole purpose of offering Salat in congregation, he does not take a step without being raised a degree (rank in Paradise) for it and having a sin remitted for it, till he enters the mosque. When he is engaged in Salat after entering the mosque, the angels continue to invoke Blessings of ALLAH on him as long as he is in his place of worship in a state of ablution. They say: “Yaa ALLAH! Have mercy on him! Yaa ALLAH! Pardon him.” He is deemed to be engaged in Salaat.” [Bukhari & Muslim]. ALLAHU AKBAR. When a person decides to pray, his intenti...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 13th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Tuesday 10th of December, 2019). VOLUNTARY FASTING IS THE BEST FOR US. BismilLah. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may ALLAH be pleased with him that he said: the Messenger of ALLAH said: “ALLAH said: “I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of MINE. And the dearest things, with which My servant seeks proximity to ME, is what I have enjoined upon him; and MY servant keeps on coming closer to ME through supererogatory deeds till I love him. So I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, his sense of sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks ME, I will give him, and if he asks MY protection (Refuge), I will protect him (i.e. give him My Refuge)." [Reported by Al-Bukhari]  ALLAHU AKBAR. Fasting is the dearest deed to ALLAH Almighty. HE says in a Prophetic Hadith: " Every (good) dee...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 12th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Monday 9th of December, 2019). SEEKING GUIDANCE IN ALL WE DO. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAAH, free from all imperfections, praised HIS believing servants who ask HIM to make them leaders who are sought as examples upon guidance. ALLAAH, the Exalted, said regarding their description: And those who say, _Ų±َŲØَّنَŲ§ هَŲØْ Ł„َنَŲ§ Ł…ِنْ Ų£َŲ²ْوَŲ§Ų¬ِنَŲ§ وَŲ°ُŲ±ِّيَّŲ§ŲŖِنَŲ§ Ł‚ُŲ±َّŲ©َ Ų£َŲ¹ْيُنٍ وَŲ§Ų¬ْŲ¹َŁ„ْنَŲ§ Ł„ِŁ„ْŁ…ُŲŖَّŁ‚ِŁŠŁ†َ Ų„ِŁ…َŲ§Ł…Ų§ً_ Our Lord Bestow on us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us an Imaam (leader/guide) for the pious (Muttaqoon). That's one of the best duas for married couple to be reciting. (Rabbanaa hab lanaa min azwaajinaa wa dhurriyaatinaa qurrata a`ayunin wa’j`alnaa li’l muttaqiina imaama)” [Qur’an, 25:74]. Let's seek guidance in all we do and be sincere. If we do things with intentions to please ALLAH, we will never regret our act as ALLAH will guide us through. L...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 11th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Sunday 8th of December, 2019). I LOVE THIS HADITH SO LETS READ IT AND ACT UPON IT FOR ALLAH GUIDANCE. BismilLah In Sahih Muslim: Chapter 13, Book 32: Virtue, Good Manners And Joining Of The Ties Of Relationship, Number 6246: Abu Dharr (R.A) reported: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [Sallallahu alaihi wasallam] says that ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GLORIOUS, says: MY servants, I have made oppression unlawful for ME and unlawful for you, so do not commit oppression against one another. MY servants, all of you are liable to err except one whom I guide on the right path, so seek right guidance from ME so that I should direct you to the right path. O MY servants, all of you are hungry (needy) except one whom I feed, so beg food from ME, so that I may give that to you. O MY servants, all of you are naked (need clothes) except one whom I provide garments, so beg clothes from ME, so that I should clothe you. O MY servant...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 10th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Saturday 7th of December, 2019). THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH.       BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. HuMan is a unique creature. ALLAH establishes human as HIS representative or deputy to govern over all other creatures in this world. HE is endowed with the faculty of REASON, which sets him apart from all other animals. Together with this faculty to discriminate and discern, man is given the freedom (free-will) to choose for himself a way of life worthy of his or her position as ALLAH'S representative or to fall lower than the lowest of all animals or creations. Man is born pure and sinless and is given the choice to do righteous deeds or indulge in sins. The Creator, out of HIS abundant Love and Mercy for mankind has not left us in darkness to discover the right path by trial and error alone. Coupled with our intellectual capability to reason, our Creator bestowed upon us DIVINE GUIDANCE that outline...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Friday 6th of December, 2019) ORIGINAL SIN IS NOT PART OF ISLAM. BismilLah. Salvation is a powerful word that the dictionary defines as the act of preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.  Theologically it is spiritual rescue from sin and its consequences.  More specifically, in Christianity it is associated with redemption and the atonement of Jesus strangely to the teachings of Jesus Christ peace be upon him.  Salvation in Islam is a very different concept.  While it does offer deliverance from the fires of hell, it also   rejects some of the basic principles of Christianity and states clearly that salvation is attained only through submission to the most merciful, God as Jesus also taught his companions. When someone asked Jesus Christ about salvation, what was his response? Read Mathew 19:16-17 where Jesus instructed that the commandments God must be follow...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 8th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Thursday 5th of December, 2019) ATTAINING JANNAT IS NOT CHEAP SO LETS STRIVE FOR IT. BismilLah Paradise is expensive merchandise, and al-Firdaws al-A‘la is the highest and best part of Paradise. No one reaches it except those whom ALLAH has singled out for more of HIS grace due to theira efforts on earth to please HIM. The people of al-Firdaws al-A‘alaa are the ones who hasten to do good as they are commanded. ALLAH, may HE be exalted, says; “And those foremost (in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,) will be foremost (in Paradise). These will be those nearest to ALLAH. In the Gardens of delight (Paradise)” [Quran 56:10-12]. Sheikh Ibn Katheer said: Whoever competes in doing righteous deeds in this world and wins the contest, in the hereafter he will be among the first to attain reward and honour, for the...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ArbaĆ , 7th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Wednesday 4th of December, 2019) ISLAM IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT. Bismillah Islam states clearly that everyone is born a Muslim and is therefore monotheistic by nature. We read in the Qur'an that humanity has been created with the natural disposition towards the unity of ALLAH. In the words of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam: "Every person is born with the innate religious faith (to submit to God Almighty)." Thus when an individual accepts Islam, he is not turning his back on any prior revelation but rather is returning to the original and true revelation of ALLAH and to his own nature as a creation of ALLAH. This being the case, Islam is your birthright not by luck that you were born a Muslim. Other religious or ideological systems are either corruptions our outright denials of Islam. Islam is not a new religion founded by Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, but a final Testament of the ...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 6th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Tuesday 3rd of December, 2019). REGULAR REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH IS THE SECRET TO A PEACEFUL AND HAPPY LIFE. BismilLah. There are numerous places in the Qur'an where ALLAH assure us that when we remember HIM regularly by acknowledging HIS greatness and Praising HIM, Seeking forgiveness etc, we will find peace within our life and succeed in life and the Hereafter. Let's explore few from the Quran. Remember ALLAH abundantly, in order that you become successful" Quran 8:45). "Believers, do not let either your possessions or your children divert you from the Remembrance of ALLAH. Those who do that shall be the losers". Quran 63:9). "Only in the remembrance of ALLAH (swt) will your heart find peace" Quran 13:28). You need more? Please check the following verses; Quran 20:124), Quran 33:35, Quran 72:17, Quran 58:19, Quran 4:190), Quran 39:23, Quran 39:22, Quran 29:45, Quran 43:3...
DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 5th day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Monday 2nd of December, 2019) COVERING OUR OWN AND OTHERS FAULTS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Imam Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Everyone from my nation will be pardoned except those who sin in public. Among them is a man who commits an evil deed in the night which ALLAH has covered for him, then in the morning he says: O people, I have done this sin. His Lord had covered him during the night but in the morning he unveils what ALLAH has covered. Sahih Bukhari 5721. We've learned from the above that it's evil to let anyone know of our sins or others sins. We should cry to ALLAH to forgive us instead of boasting this is my girlfriend/ boyfriend and walking with them in public and some even displaying their haraam relation in public on Facebook or whatsapp display etc with excuse of planning marriage. ALLAH has war...
