 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a. 22nd day of Rajab. (Wednesday, 23rd February 2022). THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUPEREROGATORY (Sunnah and Nafl) SALAAT (Prayers). BismilLah. 


Sunnah Salaat are voluntary prayers which were prayed by the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), and thus they become his Sunnah for us. If one prays them, he will earn a huge reward from ALLAH Subhaanah; and if one does not pray them, there is no sin but if one intentionally decide I'm not praying them that's sinful because it's the same as rejecting what the messenger encouraged. The most that can be said of one who does not pray the Sunnah prayers is that he loses a great opportunity to earn huge rewards from ALLAH and to perfect his or her obligatory Salaat.


The Sunnah or Nawaafil (supererogatory prayers), have been legislated to make up for any deficiencies or unknown errors left in the performance of Fard salaah (obligatory prayers). In Salaah, there are virtues that are not found in any other form of worship. Abu Hurairah may ALLAH be pleased with him reports that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "The first thing that the people will be called to account for on the Day of Resurrection will be the 5x obligatory Salaat. Our Lord will say to the Angels, although HE knows better: 'Look into the (Fard) Salaah of my servant to see if he observed it perfectly or been negligent in it. So if he observed it perfectly it will be recorded to his credit, but if he had been negligent in it in any way, ALLAH would say: 'See if My servant has any supererogatory prayers. Then if he has any supererogatory prayers (sunnah prayers), ALLAH would say: 'Make up the deficiency in My servant's obligatory prayer with his supererogatory prayers.' Thereafter all his actions will be examined in like manner. Related by Imam Abu Dawud so let's strive to be offering the sunnah salaats which are 2 rakaats before Fajir, 4 before Dhuhur, 2 after Dhuhur, 2 after Magrib and 2 after Ishai and also witir. There are also 4 rakaats before Asr if you can. May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu and Al-Qayyuum, The Living and the Maintainer of Life) aid us to be able to emulate our beloved messenger of ALLAH and offer our sunnah Salaat along side the obligatory Salaat 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. Yawm Al-khamis, 30th day of Rajab 1446AH, Thursday. 30th Jan. 2025). MEANING OF ALLAH CREATING HUMANS IN HIS OWN IMAGE.  BismilLah. Unfortunately, other faiths have made a serious mistake in trying to compare The CREATOR, ALLAH Azzawajal with HIS Creation human beings in physical appearance, and that's blasphemy and serious error  Sheikh AbuAmina, in one of his articles, explained that, in Islam, we believe that all people have been created in the “image” of ALLAH Azzawajal. But what does this mean? ALLAH Azzawajal is the creator of everything, including all people. That people are in the “image of ALLAH Azzawajal” means they are in the form that HE, ALLAH Azzawajal has chosen and honored for them, not that they resemble ALLAH Azzawajal in physical appearance or share in the Divine Essence. Just as we say a righteous person is the “servant of ALLAH” and a mosque is the “house of ALLAH” as a way to honor them, likewise is it an added dignity for pe...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. 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...
