 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 6th day of Dhul-QA'adah (Wednesday, 16th June 2021).

Jesus Christ was mentioned 25 times in the Quran So Jesus is the greatest?. BismilLah. 


I guess many of you do get some of these assuptions from non Muslims right? A video was sent to me with such claims and I've spent some time to respond in full whoever is interested can request for the full response but to respond to this one I can say that 

The  no. of times a person is mentioned by name does not in and of itself make the person great. Moses is mentioned by name 136 times in the Quran. Does that make him the greatest? Pharoah was even mentioned by name 74 times in the quran. So can it also be concluded that pharoah is greater than Jesus Christ who is mentioned by name 25 times?Now please understand  that Jesus was at the center of so many controversies: the some considered him to be a 'bastard' and an imposter. Some christians regard him as God and/ or son of God while others regard him as a prophet. So there was the need for clarification on his status. Hence, the Quran, being the final revelation, was sent down to set the records straight. It therefore becomes imperative to mention Jesus by name anytime issues concerning him are being addressed in order not live any room for doubt, confusion and speculation about who is being spoken about. The personality of Prophet Muhammad, on the other hand, was not entangled in this kind of confusion. So he  was only mentioned by name to establish that he is indeed the prophet and messenger of God.


It is surprisng some one will make this assuptions and say Jesus is God....Chapter 4:171...where the spirit from God is mentioned.....it mentioned that Jesus is no more than a messenger of ALLAH...it mention that we should believe in ALLAH and HIS messengers ....it cautions us  not to say Trinity....it tells us ALLAH is One God....so why the assuption that Jesus is God cuz he is a spirit from God...the critics jux cherry pick phrases from the Quran and subject them to the kind of logic they have been doing to their Bible. Even in chapter 3: 38-39 of the Holy quran...Yahya ( John the Baptist) is also referred to as Kalimatuallah....that is word of ALLAH.

Infact if u read chapter 3:45-51 the place where Jesus is referred to as word FROM ALLAH!...the verse 51 reads ""It is ALLAH Who  is my Lord and your Lord; then worship HIM. This is a Way that is straight." 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. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN continues. BismilLah.  ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course. Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out: To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER. To obey and serve ONLY HIM. To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward. Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says; Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, ...
  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
