 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. 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...
