 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-thalaatha. 27th day of Jumaadal Aakhir. Tuesday 9th February 2021).

TAU’BAH (SEEKING FORGIVENESS) is our topic today in shaa Allah. BismilLah. 


Seeking Forgiveness and Sincere Repentance are very important in getting us closer to ALLAH. 

Benefits of Tau’bah:

The Qur’an describes the story of Prophet Nuh (A.S),

"I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, HE is Oft-Forgiving; HE will send rain to you in abundance; And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers. " [Quran 71:10-12]. This verse clearly shows if you need children, wealth, good health etc increase your Tauba by regularly seeking forgiveness from ALLAH by saying AstaghfirulLah sincerely and strive to stop sins. 


Whoever makes Tau’bah re-establishes his relationship with the Creator of the heavens and earth. 


Misconceptions when committing a sin:

1. The person thinks that no one is watching. 

ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala), the all-Knower and all-Hearer says in the Qur’an: “Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful” [89:14].

2. The person thinks that no one is near him. ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala), says in the Qur’an:

“Have you not seen that ALLAH knows whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth? There is no secret counsel of three, but HE is their fourth (with HIS Knowledge), nor of five but HE is their sixth (with HIS Knowledge), not of less than that or more, but HE is with them (with HIS Knowledge) wheresoever they may be; and afterwards on the Day of Resurrection, HE will inform them of what they did. Verily, ALLAH is the All-Knower of everything. “[58:7].


3. The person thinks that no one can find his action or intent.

ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala), says in the Qur’an: “ALLAH knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that you conceal.”[40:19].


4. The person thinks that no one can catch him or punish him.

ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala), says in the Qur’an: “So on that Day, none will punish as HE will punish. “[89:25]“…Verily, HIS Seizure is painful, and severe.” [11:102]. May ALLAH forgive our past, present and future sins and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

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.

 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...
