 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ahad. 19th day of Jumaadal Awwal. (Sunday 3rd January 2021).

OUR SALAAH, OUR KEY TO SUCCESS. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. 


As-Salah means to worship ALLAH through certain known and prescribed sayings and actions starting with takbeer saying Allaahu Akbar i.e. ALLAH is the Greater, and ending with tasleem 

(saying: as-salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatul-lahi wa barakaatuh i.e. may ALLAAH’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you). 


The Merits or importance of  As-Salah.

1. The Salaah Prevents us from al-Fahshaa (great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.). (See Quran C: 29, V: 45). 

2. It is The best of deeds after the Testimony of Faith (laa ilaaha illal-laah, Muhammad 

rasoulul-laah). (See hadeeth of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’oud (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Bukhari (v. 9, p. 625) & Muslim).

3. Washes out sins (See hadeeth of Jaabir (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim v. 1, p. 1410) 

4. Expiates sins (See hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim v. 1, p. 450) 

5. A light for its adherent in this Life and in the Hereafter (See hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallaahu 'anhuma) in Musnad Ahmad (v. 2, p. 169) with good chain of narration) 

6. Raises in rank and removes sins (See hadeeth of Thawbaan (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim (v. 1, p. 989).

7. One of the greatest causes to enter Paradise with the company of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. (See hadeeth of Rabee’ah Al-Aslami (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim v. 1, p. 990) 

8. Between each performance of salaah and the next performance, sins are pardoned. (See hadeeth ‘Uthmaan (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim v. 1, p. 438.

9. The angels will ask ALLAH for Blessings and Forgiveness upon the adherent in our place of prayers (See hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Bukhari (v. 3, p. 330) and 

in Muslim) 

10. Waiting for the next prayer after performing a prayer is ribaat (keeping oneself adhering and firm on acts of obedience). (See hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim no. 251).

11. The one who goes to the Mosque to perform the prayer is in prayer until he returns. (See hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Saheeh ibn Khuzaimah authenticated by 

Al-Albani). 

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and aid us to perform our salaat in time and as prescribed. 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.

 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...
