 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-khamis, 18th day of Sha'abaan (Thursday 1st April 2021). RAMADAAN PREVIOUS DEBTS. BismilLah. 


Many are still asking that they missed previous Ramadan fastings, some even quoting 3 to 4 years of not able to fast due to either pregnancy,  breast-feeding, illness etc. 

Lets note that those who were unable to fast for a legitimate sharia excuse, such as travellers, those who are sick,  menstruating women, pregnant women who are or were unable to fast etc have to make up the days when they did not fast, if they are able to fast. It is not permissible to feed poor people instead when one is able to fast, because ALLAH says: 

“and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days” [al-Baqarah 2:185]

i.e., he must fast the number of days that he missed. It was narrated that Mu’aadhah said: I asked ‘Aa’ishah: “Why does the menstruating woman have to make up the fasts and not the prayers?” She said: “That used to happen to us, and we were commanded to make up the fasts but we were not commanded to make up the prayers.” Narrated by Muslim, 335. 


Please note that even if you've not fasted for 4 years it means you owe 120 days of Fasting which you must fast whenever you are able to. Feeding the poor DOES NOT REPLACE the missed Ramadan fastings but only as insurance policy with ALLAH incase you die and still was unable to fast due to legitimate reasons but let's fear ALLAH and ensure we fast to cover all missed Ramadan fastings as its for our own good and its obligatory. Pregnancy and breast-feeding etc are not an excuse not to fast except those who are sick within the pregnancy and unable to fast then they can fast whenever possible. Always remember that the fasting is fard upon you but to conceive or have children is only sunnah and a gift from ALLAH so don't make the pregnancy and children priority than the fasting. Travelling is not an excuse to avoid fasting unless if you are facing difficulties with the fasting whilst travelling. Your partner or relative cannot fast for you whilst you are still alive so please note that too. You can ask questions and will try to respond if I know the answer. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...

Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
