 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum arba'a. . 29th day of Jumaadal Awwal.. (Wednesday 13th January 2021).

SEEKING GUIDANCE FROM ALLAH REGULARLY. BismilLahir. 


ALLAH subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa (exalted is HE) has given HIMSELF Names and attributes (siffat) so that we can know HIM through HIS attributes. What is most amazing and beautiful about ALLAH’s Names is that through them, you can see how your Creator recognizes the needs of HIS creation.


We all need sustenance; and HE is ar-Razzaaq, The Provider. We all need love; and HE is al-Waduud, The Most Loving. We all need protection; and ALLAH is al-Hafidh, The Guardian. What we need the most is the very thing of which ALLAH (swt) has an unlimited supply.


And so sometimes we are put through things to know ALLAH (swt). Sometimes it is to open your eyes to your own flaws so that you can change. But whatever it is, if you realize that the answer to any problem is through HIM, and that HE suffices all your needs, then your relief is already at hand.


Some of us find ourselves to be very lost sometimes. And this is alarming because we used to be a person who had direction. We thought we knew where we were going and what we were doing. But things starts to fall apart, internally. We Aren't sure anymore. And then we realized we have three choices, to continue to do what we are doing without putting in any extra thought, to give up entirely, or to re-assess and re-orient.


And because this feeling persist for a while, we realized something else. We come to know ALLAH’s attribute of Guidance. Sometimes this feeling of being lost can bring us closer to ALLAH (swt).

ALLAH says;

“O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance from ME and I shall guide you,”(Saheeh Muslim).


As ALLAH (swt) gave HIMSELF the attributes of Guidance and Light, how can we ever believe that we will be in darkness for too long?


Say, for example, you are drowning in a pool. Who will you usually call out for? The lifeguard. The lifeguard is already there, watching out for people, and because that is his job, when you call out to him he’ll jump in there to save you. Now ALLAH (swt) is over and above any analogy, but as ALLAH (swt) gave HIMSELF the attribute of guidance, telling you that HE is THE Guide and HE is THE Light of the heavens and the earth, then how can you be lost for too long? Especially if you seek HIM. Are we saying that lifeguards do their job better than ALLAH (swt)? Astaghfirullah definitely not. it's time we adhere to the teachings of ALLAH so that in any situation, HE can guide us through till success becomes our final abode both on earth and the hereafter. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

 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...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. Today mark the day when ALLAH granted Musah alayhi salaam victory over Fir'awn. Today mark the day ALLAH humiliated HIS worse enemy on earth Fir'awn for his disbelief in ALLAH and claiming he was ALLAH. We are all fasting on this blessed day seeking forgiveness from ALLAH for our sins from last year till date as the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended.  Those who are unable to fast can still do much to earn lots of rewards especially our sisters and daughters in their monthly cycle. You can recite lots of azkaar and give sadaqah with your intention to seek forgiveness from ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
