 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 6th Jumaadal Uulaa. (Saturday, 11th of December 2021).

TRIBALISM AND NATIONALISM IS NOT PART OF ISLAM. Bismillah.

Let's continue from the reminder yesterday:

There are many examples in the Seerah where the Messenger of ALLAH (sallahu alaihi wasallam) had rebuked those who upheld nationalism. On one occasion, a party of Jews conspired to bring about disunity in the ranks of the Muslims after seeing the Aus and Khazraj within Islam. A youth from amongst them was sent to incite remembrance of the battle of Bu'ath where the Aus had been victorious over the Khazraj, and he recited poetry to bring about division between them. As a result, there was a call to arms.


When the news reached the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he (saaw) said,

"O Muslims, remember ALLAH, remember ALLAH. Will you act as pagans while I am present with you after ALLAH has guided you to Islam, and honored you thereby and made a clean break with paganism; delivered you thereby from disbelief; and made you friends thereby?"


When they heard this, they wept and embraced each other. This incident clearly highlights how the Messenger of ALLAH (saaw) rebuked any form of tribalism. ALLAH (swt) then revealed,

"O you who believe! Fear ALLAH as HE should be feared and die, not except in a state of Islam with complete submission to ALLAH. And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of ALLAH (i.e. Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude ALLAH’S favors on you; for you were enemies and HE joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace you became brothers; and you were on the brink of the pit of fire, and HE saved you from it. Thus, ALLAH makes HIS signs clear to you that you may be guided." [Surah Al'Imran (3); ayah 102-103]


It is narrated by Qatada that Ibnu Abi Hathim said that in the verses quoted above ALLAH (swt) has ordered the Muslims to hold fast to the book of ALLAH, HIS Deen, and to HIS covenant, and HE has forbidden the Muslims to divide amongst themselves and to dispute with each other. To be continued in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protects us from any form of tribalism. 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...
