 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 28th day of RAJAB (Friday, 12th March 2021). UNLAWFUL EARNED MONEY. BismilLah. 


One of the companions of the Prophet once said to the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam): “Pray to ALLAH that HE may accept my prayers.” The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Eat lawful food and for that your Dua or prayers will be accepted.” Notice that the Prophet did not just start praying for him but advised him to ensure his source of income is halaal and ALLAH will then answer his dua. 


If you feel that your prayers are not being answered, look into the source of your income. Scrutinize it carefully. Are you going against any of ALLAH'S ’s injunctions to earn it?  Whatever a person spends to take care of another, or in charity, or in the Path of ALLAH, ALLAH is capable of supporting HIS servants and projects as such its important we give in charity only what we earn lawfully else you get no rewards. Ramadan is approaching, so let's purify our income to ensure we don't lose out. 


He who spends in charity out of unlawful wealth is like the person who washes his or her dirty clothes with wine or urine. Dirty or impure things cannot be purified except with water and so there is no expiation of sins without lawful things. Please remember today is Friday. 


May ALLAH (Al-Qayyuum, The Maintainer of Life) protect us from any unlawful sources of income. 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...

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...
