Islamic Daily Reminder

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 23rd day of Safar. (Friday, 1st of October 2021). LET'S BE REALISTIC IN SERVING OUR LORD, ALLAH . BismilLah. We are  all hoping for Paradise but most of us are not working for it. How do you expect to get PARADISE when you haven't worked for it on Earth? That's like expecting to pass an exam you never took a class for. We live in a time where people leave out food in fear of becoming overweight, but cannot leave out sins in  fear of ALLAH! For a believer. you may be penniless, homeless, unemployed, sick and feel like you have nothing. But you have the One thing that money can't buy: "ALLAH". ALLAH knows what you want, what you need, what you deserve, at what time & what place, trust HIM & HIS decisions is best for HIS creation, HE knows while you don't. Please remember today is Friday. Its EID day let's prepare for it well and recite lots of Salaat Alan Nabi seeking lots of rewards from ALLAH. ...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Safar. (Thursday, 30th of September 2021). ENVY AND HATRED ARE THE DESTROYERS OF OUR GOOD DEEDS . BismilLah. Envy (hasad) is a spiritual disease that is the root of numerous sins and it's worse than Coronavirus. It is incompatible with true faith and it has the capacity to nullifying a person’s good deeds. A Muslim cannot achieve a pure heart until it is emptied of all envy, hatred, and malice. The person who envies is, in reality, displeased with the way ALLAH has distributed HIS blessings. ALLAH says: أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ Or do they envy people for what ALLAH has given them of HIS bounty? Quran 4:54. Imam An-Nawawi wrote in one of his books that: Envy is the desire for someone who has a blessing to be deprived of it, whether it is a religious or worldly blessing.̣ The one who envies has become displeased with the decree of ALLAH the Exalted, so he hates that ALLAH has ...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 21st day of Safar. (Wednesday, 29th of September 2021). SOME WAYS TO GOODNESS . Bismillah. My apologies for the delay as I was so busy at work this morning. Back to our topic today. Imam Al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim narrated that Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Giving in charity is an obligation upon every Muslim". It was said (to him): "What about one who does not find (the means) to do so?'' He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Let him work with his hands, thus doing benefit to himself and give in charity.'' It was said to him: "What if he does not have (the means) to do so?'' He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Then let him assist the needy, the aggrieved.'' It was said: "What about if he cannot even do this?'' He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Then he should enjoin ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 20th day of Safar. (Tuesday, 28th of September 2021). HAPPY MARRIAGE, LIVING WITH PEACE AND HARMONY AT HOME. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.  ALLAAH says in the holy Quran;  “And among HIS Signs is this, that HE created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find tranquility in them, and HE has put between you affection and MERCY. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.” [Al-Qur’an 30: 21].   Marriage is an institute which can be as firm as a rock or weak as a thread, it is up to the partners to make it either one.  We have to learn to be tolerant of each other for the MERCY of ALLAH to flow in the marriage.   Marriage is a great Sunnah and an act of worship.  It is the responsibility of both husband and wife to give 100% effort to make their marriage successful and their home peaceful and Islamic solely for ALLAH sake. At the time of concern and tension in domestic affairs,...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 19th day of Safar. (Monday, 27th of September 2021). WHO IS ALLAH? Let's continue from yesterday's reminder . BismilLah. If you truly wants to know who ALLAH is, just study HIS attributes. Each of HIS Attributes points to HIS GREATNESS beyond any comparison. HE is the ONLY PERFECT and CREATOR of ANYTHING that exist and existed. In Qur'an 6:59 ALLAH says With HIM are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but HE alone. Verily, HE is All-Knower, All-Aware." (31:34). He knows whatever there is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but HE knows it. ALLAH knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal. (Qur'an 40:19). ALLAH says again Qur'an 6:60 HE brings death to HIS servants in their sleep at night, for sleep is minor death. ALLAH says And (remember) when ALLAH said: "O `Isah (Jesus Christ PBUH)! I will take you and raise you to MYSELF..." (3:55) It is ALL...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 18th day of Safar. (Sunday, 26th of September 2021). WHO IS ALLAH? Let's continue from yesterday's reminder . BismilLah. If you want to really study and know who ALLAH is, you've got to study HIS attributes ie what HE says HE is and what HE can do and compare to anyone in mankind history if anyone else has claimed such an ownership. ALLAH says in Qur'an 57:2-3. HE is the absolute Owner of HIS creation, bringing life and death and granting what HE wills to whom HE wills and HE is Able to do all things. Whatever HE wills, is, and whatever HE does not will, will never be. HE is Al-Awwal and Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir and Al-Batin which basically means HE is Al-Awwal, nothing is before HIM. Al-Akhir, nothing is after HIM. Az-Zahir, nothing is above HIM and Al-Batin, nothing is below HIM. Which sum up to mean there is NOTHING LIKE HIM IN ANYTHING. Has anything or anyone claim this attribute? That's only 2 verses. More to come fr...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 17th day of Safar. (Saturday, 25th of September 2021). WHO IS ALLAH? Let's continue from yesterday's reminder . My apologies for the length as the topic is huge and require deep explanation from the Quran itself. BismilLah. The Quran been the only surviving Authentic speech of the Creator tell us that ALLAH has always existed and there never was a time HE did not exit. As such, HE is the Eternal, without beginning and without end. HE is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and nothing and no one exists alongside HIM, nor does HE have any partners. HE tells us, HE is not created, nor is HE like HIS creation in anyway. HE calls HIMSELF by a number of names and some of them are: The First - (Al-Awwal), The Last - (Al-Akhir), The Eternal and the One who is sought after by HIS creation, while HE has no need from them at all. (As-Samad). HE is not a man and HE has no progeny or offspring. HE is not what HE creates nor is HE ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 16th day of Safar. (Friday, 24th of September 2021). WHO IS ALLAH? LETS CLEAR SOME MISCONCEPTIONS. BismilLah. Some non Muslims are happily broadcasting that Muslims worship Moon god claiming that ALLAH (The Most MERCIFUL) is a god or idol in Saudi Arabia Astaghfirullah. Let's clear this misconception.  Quran proves such claims wrong, "Allah" is NOT a 'moon god' as ALLAH (The Greatest) says in the Quran; "And from among My Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to ME "ALLAH" Who created all those signs, if you (really) worship ME." [Noble Quran 41:37]. ALLAH is the Almighty God who is the CREATOR of all that exist. Believe it or not, that's your cup of tea. Funny enough, open any Arabic Bible, the same ALLAH was used for GOD so does the Arab Christians worshipping god or idol when they mention...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 15th day of Safar. (Thursday, 23rd of September 2021). REALITIES OF THE GRAVE . BismilLah. Its important to remind each other that, if we don't mine going to Jannat or Paradise as such decide not to be bothered to obey ALLAH fully, we MUST then fear HIS PUNISHMENT from the time of death till Judgement day through our grave. The fear of ALLAH'S punishment alone must be enough reason to fully obey HIM. To openly disobey ALLAH by sinning such as fornication, stealing, gambling, riba based transactions etc, it means you don't want HIS Jannat and don't fear HIS punishment astaqfirulLah. Let's remember that, when son of Aadam dies and his soul departs and he is placed in his grave, then he is in the first stage of the hereafter, because the grave is the first of the stages of the hereafter. Even if you die through drowning or got burnt to ashes you will still face the punishment of the grave till judgement day may ALLAH pro...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 14th day of Safar. (Wednesday, 22nd of September 2021). LETS MAKE EARNING PARADISE A PRIORITY IN OUR LIFE . BismilLah. ALLAH, the Most High says, “Give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therein, they say: “Why, this is what we were fed with before,” for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy), and they abide therein (for ever).”[Al Qur’an 2:25]. Again ALLAH says in Al-kahf chapter 18:107-8; "Verily those who believe in the oness of ALLAH and do rightious deeds shall have the Gardens of Al-Firdaws (The best place in Paradise) for their entertainment. "Wherein they shall dwell forever. No desire will they have for removal  therefrom". AlhamdulilLah In Jannah are things an eye hasn’t seen, the ear hasn’t heard, the mind has not imagined and no language cannot e...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 13th day of Safar. (Tuesday, 21st of September 2021). THE CAUSES OF KUFUR . BismilLah. Blind following This is one of the worst causes of kufr. The majority of those who disbelieve in ALLAH fall into this category. Some were born into other than the religion of ALLAH. They find their parents and relatives practising this kufr and they follow them without questioning or searching for the truth. For some, even though they were born Muslims, they attach themselves to others outside of the religion and take on their ways and beliefs. But on the Day of Resurrection, all forms of attachment will be detached except those that were for the sake of ALLAH. Envy This also is a cause of disbelief in some people, especially those who have been given Scripture before us. The envy in their hearts has prevented them from believing in the truth in spite of them knowing it. They wish it would be given to them or that they have m...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 12th day of Safar. (Monday, 20th of September 2021). MINOR FORM OF KUFUR . BismilLah. These types of disbelief are minor ones. They do not take a person out of the fold of Islam but only show weakness in faith in ALLAH which MUST be avoided at all cost. The person may be forgiven by ALLAH or punished if you do not seek forgiveness before death. Among them are: Ingratitude This is not being grateful towards a blessing that one has been given and ascribing the blessing to someone else either by statement or actions. ALLAH says: وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ [Quran 14:7] And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.’ “ AstaqfirulLah. And this blessing, the soul testifies that it is from ALLAH but the body parts deny it. ALLAH says: يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَت...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 11th day of Safar. (Sunday, 19th of September 2021). CAN A MUSLIM FALL INTO KUFUR AND BECOME A KAAFIR? BismilLah. Let's continue from our Reminder yesterday. The next form of Major kufur is; To have doubt in ALLAH This is by having doubt in ALLAH or anything that has been established by HIM to be true like, the messengers, the Quran, or the Day of Judgment. ALLAH says regarding the two people who HE blessed; one was a disbeliever with gardens of fruits and the other a poor believer without many resources. The one blessed by ALLAH doubted that there would be a Day of Judgment and the other asked him, “Do you disbelieve in the One Who created you out of dust?” He was shocked and immediately stated He believed in ALLAH and would never associate any partner with HIM. The man who had been blessed entered his garden and stated that he did not think his wealth would ever perish or that the Day of Judgment would ever come. He continued...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 10th day of Safar. (Saturday, 18th of September 2021). CAN A MUSLIM FALL INTO KUFUR AND BECOME A KAAFIR? BismilLah.  This is a serious and dangerous issue so let's find out from the Quran and monitor our actions so that we don't die as non Muslims without knowing. Remember that sheitan main agenda is to deviate us from our belief into disbelief.  kaafir literally means someone who covers. But it is commonly understood to mean disbeliever. A disbeliever is called a kaafir because he covers the truth in his heart with rejection. In the Quran, ALLAH refers to farmers as kuffar because they cover the seeds with soil so that they grow. ALLAH says: كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا [Quran 57:20] Like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. The word kaaf...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Safar. (Friday, 17th of September 2021). ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT FOR HIS SERVANTS . BismilLah. Alhamdulillah for blessing us with another blessed day of the week. ALLAH(Almighty GOD) is sufficient for us, and HE is Al-Wakeel(the best disposer of affairs). Aren't you proud to be a servant to our CREATOR of the entire Universe and beyond? Lets rely on HIM alone bcs HE is Sufficient for us and none can help us without HIS permission and none can harm us without HIS permission so keep your obedient to ALLAH intact and fear none. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH SallallahuAlaihiWasallam recommended us to Say: "Tawakaltu Alallah, hasbunallah wani'emal wakeel" meaning ALLAH is sufficient for me or us and the best disposer of all affairs in life. Allahu Akbar. Please remember today is Friday. Let's strive to recite and study Suuratul Kahf, sending lots of salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam for our o...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 8th day of Safar. (Thursday, 16th of September 2021). MY BOSS DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO OFFER MY SALAAT AT WORK, WHAT SHOULD I DO . BismilLah. As Muslims, we must always remember that ALLAH is the source of our wealth, income, sustenance etc. Also remember that one day you will die and the job will be useless to you or your family if ALLAH was not pleased with you. We were created to worship ALLAH and NOTHING should stop or even delay us worshipping our CREATOR.  ALLAH says in the Qur'an; “And whosoever fears ALLAH and keeps his duty to HIM, HE will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And HE will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in ALLAH, then HE will suffice him. Verily, ALLAAH will accomplish his purpose. Indeed ALLAAH has set a measure for all things” [Qur'an 65:2-3]. ATAKBIIIIR. Allahu-Akbar. Based on this, you should either ask your boss to offer you some time to...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 7th day of Safar. (Wednesday, 15th of September 2021). BETRAYAL. BismilLah.  One of our soul's defects that brutally affects our ties with our Creator, ALLAH as well as our relationships with others is betrayal. Betraying is an unfaithful act characterized by deliberate but hidden deceiving, lying and scheming. Because of the intentional secretive planning that is involved in betrayal, its victims are always taken by surprise. The most harmful consequence of betraying is the sudden and abrupt destruction of the bond of trust, loyalty, and confidence that exists in different kinds of social relations. This results in a deep sense of disappointment and serious damage of the integrity of such relationships. ALLAH says in Quran 8:27 to the nearest meaning  "O you who believe, do not betray ALLAH and the Messenger, and do not betray those who trust you, now that you know. Students of the Quran know that all the elements which might be...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 7th day of Safar. (Tuesday, 14th of September 2021). EARNING A LIVING, THE HALAAL WAY. BismilLah.  As Muslims, we must strive to work hard seeking ALLAH'S blessings in our income regardless of how little we earn. Earning very little is far better than earning more the haraam way. We must avoid investing our wealth into any haraam means such as buying shares with the interest base banks or companies who deals in haraam goods and services. Let's strive to invest our money the halaal way. You can find an established business who deals in halaal items so that you can agree to share the profit base on ratio of contribution.  You can find brothers and sisters who has handiwork to invest and expand their business with agreement to share profits especially with fellow Muslims. There are genuine people out there who need help to expand their business the halaal way, find them, invest your money with them and ALLAH will bless such i...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 4th day of Safar. (Sunday, 12th of September 2021). MY PERSONAL ADVICE TO ALL NEWLY MARRIED OR EVEN THOSE WHO INTEND TO MARRY SOON . BismilLah. First of all I pray that ALLAH aid you in making the right choice of who to marry and for those who are already married may ALLAH protect the marriage from any satanic influences. Aameen. Secondly pls note that marriage is a trust from ALLAH, for companionship, an act of worship etc as such your priorities in the marriage is first to please ALLAH then secondly your husband or wife. If you make ur priority to please ALLAH you will not be worried much in all the ups and downs in the marriage.  Patience must be your key in all you do. Make it a rule over urself that you will accept any accusations from your husband or wife and apologise even if you are right bcs the number one priority of sheitan is to create mess in marriages through arguments and remember the rewards of whoever avoid argumen...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 3rd day of Safar. (Saturday, 11th of September 2021). What is LIFE? BismilLah.  To understand life better, you have to visit 3 locations. Hospital, Prison and Cemetery. At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH. In the Prison, you'll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing. At the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow. We all came with Nothing and we will go with Nothing... Let us, therefore, remain humble and be thankful & grateful to ALLAH at all times for everything. Your main purpose in life is to worship ALLAH seeking Paradise as your main goal.  May ALLAH, AL-GHANIYY (The Self-Sufficient, The Wealthy) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 2nd day of Safar. (Friday, 10th of September 2021). MAKE ALLAH YOUR DOCTOR FOR YOUR INFLICTIONS . BismilLah. AlhamdulilLah for granting us this blessed day. May ALLAH grant us the Blessings within the day and send our Salutations to our beloved Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Aameen.  Allaahummah Salli Alaa Muhammad, wa Alaa aali Muhammad, Wasallim . Aameen. Our reminder on this blessed day is to remind each of us what our scholars have said in regards to difficulties we face on earth such as illnesses or some painful inflictions from ALLAH. Most times we disobey ALLAH openly or knowing it is wrong but does it anyway without fear of ALLAH'S punishment such as Zina (Fornication), stealing, delaying our salaat, disobedience to parents, religious innovations etc. * Sometimes * as a blessings to our souls, ALLAH may inflict us with some difficulties that will aid us to remember HIM and return to HIM seeking HIS MERCY. T...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 1st day of Safar. (Thursday, 9th of September 2021). WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR SALAAT . Bismillah. Concentration in our salaat is part of the perfection of the Salaat.  Let's find out how to concentrate during our salaat. Avoid praying in a state in which you are mentally and physically fatigued. Keep your mind free of worldly worries, evil thoughts, and ideas. Plan what verses/duas you are going to recite. If you do not understand Arabic, learn the meaning of what you recite in your Prayer.  Remind yourself that engaging in Prayer offers you an opportunity to release yourself from the tensions of this world. Use your Prayer to remain focused on your mission in life, which is to bring your entire being to serve only ALLAH.  Fulfill all your personal needs before you commence your Prayer, for e.g., thirst, hunger and calls of nature. But don't be sitting till salaat time do that. Start planning for each prayer...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 30th day of Muharram. (Wednesday, 8th of September 2021). BLOODSHED IS AN ACT OF DISBELIEF. BismilLah.  In his Farewell Sermon, our beloved  Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam warned that bloodshed leads to unbelief.  Jareer ibn Abdullah may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, asked me to make the people silent on the occasion of the farewell pilgrimage, and then the Prophet said among the many warnings that, “Do not return to unbelief after me by killing each other.” Sahih Bukhari 121, Sahih Muslim 65. This and many similar warnings is among the proofs that Islam is against any form of violence and bloodshed. Kindness to even non Muslims in our neighbours is a command from ALLAH but without been part of their religious issues. We must treat non Muslims well with intention of softening their hearts towards Islam not just to please them without doing daawah t...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 29th day of Muharram. (Tuesday, 7th of September 2021). 4 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE . BismilLah. Let's continue from our Reminder yesterday; Falling in category 3 should be a red warning to one's foot slipping downwards. This is the worst position for one to find themselves in because it results in grave punishments. As ALLAH says: So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, ALLAH opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, ALLAH seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair." Al Ana'am 44. Falling in category 4 is serious because ALLAH says; And whoever turns away from My remembrance, indeed, he will have a depressed life, and ALLAH will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.”(Taha 124). Let's read through all the 4 categories again and again and be reminded that dead awaiting each of us as such we must strive to always think ab...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 28th day of Muharram. (Monday, 6th of September 2021). 4 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE . BismilLah. Let's continue from our Reminder yesterday. Falling in category 2 may be the result of either of two things: That ALLAH loves you and therefore is testing your patience to increase your rewards; this is because HE says: And ALLAH will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient," Al Baqarah 155. Or that there are errors in your worship, sins that you commit unknowingly or sins that you aren't repenting from. Hence ALLAH is testing you to make you realize your mistake, as HE says: And ALLAH will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent." As Sajdah 21. This may actually be blessings in disguise if we can understand and make the right decisions by stepping up our repentance and seek...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 27th day of Muharram. (Sunday, 5th of September 2021). 4 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE. BismilLah.  If you look into people today, you find them in 4 categories: let's study and strive to be among those striving to be successful.  1. Those who Obedient to ALLAH and happy with their life. 2. Those who Obedient to Allah but unhappy with their life. 3. Disobedient to Allah but happy with their life. 4. Disobedient to Allah and unhappy with their life. Falling in category 1 is normal because ALLAH says  Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer – ALLAH will surely cause him to live a good life, and ALLAH will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do." ( Al Nahl 97). To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increases us all in beneficial knowledge. Aameen.

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 26th day of Muharram. (Saturday, 4th of September 2021).  OUR TOPIC TODAY IS ON DEPRESSION AND SADNESS . BismilLah. When we go through difficult times, when we have a financial loss, when we lose a loved one, when we struck by bad times, it brings out the real humanness in us, and we begin to ask the very questions that are most fundamental to us, “Why are we here?”, “What is the purpose of life”, “why me”, “What happened to all my plans and dreams, etc. We learn the frailty of our humanness. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Look at the ones who are less fortunate than you, not at the ones that are more fortunate than you.” Hunger attracts food. Hunger is a spiritual experience, it is good for the soul, and food is an experience of the body. In the same way, ease and happiness is good which the body like and is welcomed, and hardships and difficulty are disliked by the body but are very good for the soul. I...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 25th day of Muharram. (Friday, 3rd of September 2021). HOW TO KNOW WHO ALLAH IS . BismilLah. In order to worship ALLAH you must strive to know HIM. And to do that You must study HIS attributes. We are actually REQUIRED to know ALLAH.  Whenever anything other than ALLAH is in our hearts, whenever any other than ALLAH is the ONE WHOM we love and submit to, then we invite corruption into our hearts and it leads to our destruction. Knowing that ALLAH is the cause of life for the individual is the second birth that every person who believes in ALLAH will experience. There is no doubt that knowing ALLAH is the greatest and noblest of knowledge. It is the ilm (the beneficial knowledge) we are encouraged to seek. When you learn about ALLAH, you are learning about the purpose of your existence. You are learning about living a life set on the right course. Are we ready to know HIM then lets study HIS attributes from now. Please remember to...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 24th day of Muharram. (Thursday, 2nd of September 2021). HOW ARE YOU SAVING FOR YOUR NEXT LIFE ?. BismilLah. The Mighty ALLAH and HIS Messenger Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam has encouraged/recommended us to be wise and invest for our hereafter instead of chasing this temporary place of abode for our body. It's so scary that we don't know when we will die but yet we keep on spending time accomulating wealth on wealth instead of saving for our real future eternal home, the hereafter. Imagine you live abroad without residence permit but living like you have nowhere to return to by working and spending your money without supporting any family members back home or doing nothing back home and suddenly you get arrested and deported after many years of living abroad. You will regret forever isn't it? This is not even compare to life and death as you can recover through peoples help on return but when we die without savin...
