Islamic Daily Reminder

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 1st day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Tuesday, 31st of May, 2022). ALLAH IS ENOUGH AS OUR PROTECTOR. BismilLah.  ALLAH says in Qur'an 2:257 ٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخۡرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ  HE is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. HE brings them out from darknesses into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Awliya' (supporters and helpers) are Taghut (false deities and false leaders), they bring them out from light into darknesses. ALLAH stated that whoever follows what pleases HIM, HE will guide him to the paths of peace, that is Islam, or Paradise. Verily, ALLAH delivers HIS believing servants from the darkness of disbelief, doubt and hesitation, to the light of the plain, clear, explained, easy and unequivocal tru...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum al-ithnayn, 29th day of Shaw'waal. (Monday, 30th of May, 2022). PRESCRIPTION FOR PIETY. BismilLah. ALLAH (The Most Great) says in Aayah 119 of Surah Taubah: “O Believers fear ALLAH and be with those who are truthful.” To fear ALLAH means to avoid sins at all cost and to make sincere repentance and seek forgiveness from ALLAH all the time.  Along with fearing ALLAH, this Aayah also commands to be with the people who are truthful, i.e., who always speak the truth, who at heart are truthful and whose actions reflect their belief in truth. A person, who is living in an immoral or unethical environment, may ask a question: “How to build a barrier against sins and be safe from their influence.” Listen to what our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) once said before I answer this question. He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that a time will come when holding on to Faith will be as difficult as holding a burning coal in hand. ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 28th day of Shaw'waal. (Sunday, 29th of May, 2022). SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS A MAJOR CRIME AGAINST OURSELVES. Bismillah.   Zina (fornication, adultery) is a serious crime and a major sin which takes away the quality of faith from a person, and exposes him or her to punishment and humiliation unless he/she repents. ALLAAH says; “And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Faahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin, and an evil way that leads one to hell unless ALLAAH Forgives)”[Quran 17:32]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “No adulterer is a believer at the time when he is committing adultery” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2475) and Muslim (57). The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) has told us of the punishment that those who commit zina will receive in their graves before the Hour begins, and that they will be punished with fire. Narrated by al-Bukhaari...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum As-Sabt, 27th day of Shaw'waal. (Saturday, 28th of May, 2022). THE TRIPLE FILTER TEST.  BismilLah Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Keep away from ill-thinking/suspicions because ill-thinking is the greatest falsehood.” [Sahih Bukhari].    During the Abbasid period, one of the scholars in Baghdad was greeted by an acquaintance who said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"   Scholar: "Hold on a minute, before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." The Man: "Triple Filter Test?" Scholar: "That's right, before you talk to me about my friend it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" The Man: "No, actually I ju...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 25th day of Shaw'waal. (Thursday, 26th of May, 2022). IMPORTANCE OF BASMALAH (saying: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem OR BismilLah). BismilLah.  The Holy Messenger for Mankind Muhammad(sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: "Any action of importance not begun with basmalah(BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem) is devoid of blessing and therefore incomplete." The basmalah begins the Surah al-Fatihah and therefore opens the whole Quran.  The Almighty describes HIMSELF by means of HIS Attributes. The Attributes of ALLAH are a means of us becoming knowledgeable about HIM. ALLAH , in this respect, does not only introduce the Quran but HE also introduces HIMSELF. The basmalah is an invocation of the Divine Being by HIS supreme Name (ALLAH), followed by two of HIS most beautiful names (Al-Rahman and Al-Rahim), which are in fact two of His principal Divine attributes, The Most Merciful to all HIS creation and especially Merciful...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a, 24th day of Shaw'waal. (Wednesday, 25th of May, 2022). THE DANGEROUS NATURE  OF OUR SADAQAH/ CHARITY/ SUPPORT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS IF NOT FOR ALLAH SAKE. BismilLah.  ALLAH says in the holy QUR'AN 2:264. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ  O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury,  ALLAH then says, كَالَّذِي يُنفِقُ مَالَهُ رِيَاء النَّاسِ like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, meaning, "Do not nullify your acts of charity by following them with reminders and harm, just like the charity of those who give it to show off to people." The boasting person pretends to give away charity for ALLAH'S sake, but in reality seeks to gain people's praise and the reputation of being kind or generous, or other material gains of this life. All the while, he does not think about ALLAH or gaining HIS pleas...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 23rd day of Shaw'waal. (Tuesday, 24th of May, 2022). REAL SUCCESS LIES IN OUR DAILY ACTS OF WORSHIP. BismilLah.  As Muslims and mankind in general are truly in great need of continual good and the removal of hardships through a strong relationship with our Creator that makes life flow easily, peacefully, and blessedly. SALAAT (Our 5 daily Prayers) guarantees all this to a believer. Along each day’s route, Islam designated five gracious pauses for ALLAH, distributed at specific times throughout the day, during which mankind is directed to meet their Lord, open their hearts, and speak their minds to HIM, starting by praising HIM and acknowledging HIS blessings and guidance followed by requesting HIS blessings and the averting of evils, asking for HIS help and seeking HIS contentment, and shoring up our deficient knowledge with HIS perfect knowledge and their inadequate power with His Supreme Power. If you are addicted to wrong ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-ithnayn, 22nd day of Shaw'waal. (Monday, 23rd of May, 2022). ENJOINING GOOD AND FORBIDEN EVIL. BismilLah.  Enjoining good and forbidding evil is a very important topic worthy of attention, because welfare and salvation of the Ummah (nation based on one creed) lie in it; whereas, neglecting it causes great danger and corruption and disappearance of virtue and the spread of vice.  We Muslims, particularly at the present time, are in bad need to be active in the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil due to the prevalence of sins and forms of Shirk (associating others with ALLAH in HIS Divinity or worship) soothsaying, pride, arrogance, backbitting etc and Bid‘ahs (innovations in the religion) on earth. Let's not forget what ALLAH said that HE Will NOT help or change our bad condition till we change our bad ways of life. So we hold our own downfall, let's get up and change our own ways of life first then start talking to our ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 21st day of Shaw'waal. (Sunday, 22nd of May, 2022). DO NOT DELAY IN DOING ANYTHING GOOD. BismilLah.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) instructed us never to delay in doing anything good especially our Salaat, Marriage, burial, paying our zakaat, Hajj and anything which is fard upon us.  Some things are time sensitive and beneficial. The prayer should be performed at its time because nobody is promised the next hour and if you die whilst owing a specific salaat you could have prayed but delayed it, trouble for you in your grave. The burial of a believer should be conducted swiftly after death so that the creation can return to the Creator and to delay a sister marrying is a pathway for satanic influences to commit zina etc. Similarly a Muslim must not delay in doing a good deed such as the 6t shawwal and paying off our Ramadhan debts as you are not guaranteed another day to live.  May ALLAH keeps ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum As-Sabt, 20th day of Shaw'waal. (Saturday, 21st of May, 2022). THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM. BismilLah. If you find yourself constantly prioritizing dunya over akhirah (Hereafter), it is time to strike a balance: So you have decided you want to be productive for the Hereafter?  Alhamdulillah, making that intention is the first step! If you are still breathing, the doors of repentence are still open and it is not too late to make it to Jannah. The best form of investment is to do whatever you can to please the CREATOR especially with our acts of worship! Begin now, review how to correctly pray and establish your daily prayers, make a daily habit of reading The Qur’an and then acting upon it, learn sunnah actions and lessons from the life of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Have eeman in ALLAH and work righteous actions, and take small consistent steps to improve. You will enjoy super productivity in this world and joy in the next in ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Jumuat, 19th day of Shaw'waal. (Friday, 20th of May, 2022). HOW TO DEFEAT SATAN FROM HIS TRAPS. BismilLah. Seeking Help with ALLAH. To ask ALLAH for HIS protection and to rely on HIM alone for help, is a tool in defeating Satan. Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas of the Qu’ran may be used to regularly seek protection from Satan and we should recite them. There are lots of dua to protect ourselves too that we must learn some and use them regularly. We must realise that as long as we are alive, Satan will never give up attempting to mislead us. We must always be on our guard and constantly ask ALLAH for guidance and protection.  Avoid Sinful Environments. When ALLAH forbade Aadam from one particular tree, HE did not say, “do not eat from this tree” but rather, “do not come close to this tree.” Qur’an 2:35. We must therefore distance ourselves from anything that may lead to committing sin. When ALLAH warned us against fornication, HE didn't say don't...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 18th day of Shaw'waal. (Thursday, 19th of May, 2022). TRAPS OF SHEITAN. BismilLah.  Our beloved Messenger to Mankind, Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahualaihiwasallam) explained to us how idol worship originated, which highlights the gradual and patient approach of Satan. After a group of righteous people died, Satan inspired those around them to erect statues in their honour and as reminder of their righteousness. When that generation passed away and the people had forgotten why the statues were erected, Satan deceived them into believing that their forefathers used to worship them, and that through them, the rains were brought forth. People then began worshipping these statues. This gradual deception is used in many ways. For example, Satan tricks people into committing forbidden sexual acts: it begins with a look, which leads to a thought, then a smile, then a seemingly innocent conversation, then seclusion and eventually, the sin i...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a, 17th day of Shaw'waal. (Wednesday, 18th of May, 2022). HOW CAN WE PROTECT OURSELVES FROM SHEITAN WITH REGARDS TO OUR RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT. BismilLah.  As Muslims, our enemy, whose efforts is to deviate us from our religious commitments is Shaitaan and he will never rest till he manage to deviate as many as possible on daily basis through his agents the evil jinns, fortune tellers, magicians etc. He has so many ways in doing that and many Muslims falls into his traps without even realising it.  The soundness of a person’s religious commitment in this world means happiness and triumph in the hereafter. The capital of a Muslim is his religious commitment, so whoever neglects it and exposes it to trials and temptations is doomed to failure, whereas the one who preserves it and takes care to strengthen it will prosper and succeed. Our weapon is dua, seeking ALLAH'S help with our efforts to please HIM and also avoiding religious inno...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 16th day of Shaw'waal. (Tuesday, 17th of May, 2022). CONSEQUENCE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T PRAY: BismilLah.    Informing us about the inhabitants of Hell, Almighty ALLAH says: "(The people in Hell will be asked) "What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: "We used not to pray."(Qur'an,Al-Muddaththir: 42-48).   There is no guarantee for the person who does pray:  Abu Qatada, Bin Rab’i (Ra) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: " ALLAH , the Exalted said: I made five times' prayers obligatory on your people, and I took a guarantee that if anyone observes them regularly at their times, I shall admit him to Paradise; if anyone does not offer them regularly, there is no such guarantee of MINE for him." (Abu Dawood 430). Therefore there is no choice in the fact that we must pray because it is an obligation upon us and what more beautiful act than that which enables us to meet with our Lord, converse ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum al-ithnayn, 15th day of Shaw'waal. (Monday, 16th of May, 2022). WHY WE MUST NOT ABANDON OUR SALAAT. BismilLah.  The prayer is a sacred act by which a slave meets with his or her LORD ALLAH 5 times a day. This is meeting is direct without any intermediary. It is about standing in front of our LORD talking to HIM DIRECTLY! We are asking of HIS HELP and MERCY. We are conversing with the Creator of the UNIVERSE. Which president or leader of this world would ever give us the time of day that our Creator does? The lord of universe pays each one of us individually special attention when we stand in front of HIM. NOTHING can be as special as that.  But in order for us to feel such a special feeling then we have to ensure that we not only pray our 5 daily prayers on time but that we clear our minds of all worldly things and stand in front of him and imagine him watching us and reflect over the words that we are reciting. The Salaah is a coolnes...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 14th day of Shaw'waal. (Sunday, 15th of May, 2022). DO WE REALLY APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE WHAT WE LEARN FROM ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER?. BismilLah.  Learning knowledge should be for the sake of ALLAH, that's acting upon that knowledge to please Allah, otherwise knowledge will have an evil consequence, so we remain between two illnesses, either the illness of ignorance or the illness of knowledge which is not beneficial, but rather harmful. The knowledge which Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came with is in itself beneficial. However, if a person does not act upon it then it becomes an evil consequence for him, and harmful for him, and perhaps it could harm others.’ What is required from learning knowledge, is acting upon it, and action cannot come except after knowledge. let's make sure that whatever we do in Life as Muslims is based on knowledge of Islam not by our heart desires else we will waste our time in dunya and...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum As-Sabt, 13th day of Shaw'waal. (Saturday, 14th of May, 2022). FIGHTING OUR OWN EVIL IN US. BismilLah. Sheikh Ibn al-Qayyim said in one of his books, “So whoever does not punish his devil in this abode through the remembrance of ALLAH تعالى following tawheed strictly, and seeking forgiveness from ALLAH and obeying ALLAH, then his devil will cause his punishment in the Hereafter with the torment of the hell Fire.  We are all aware that as ALLAH'S protection and Mercy is in abundance for us to grab through HIS obedience so is SATAN'S influence in abundance for those who will disobey ALLAH as such it's important we declare jihaad against our wrong heart desires and strive to achieve ALLAH'S mercy and protection through practicing the deen fully not by mouth or ears but by good acts of worship the Sunnah way through learning authentic knowledge not as we wish or what our fathers and grandfather's said. Ask yourself if you are disobeyi...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Jumuat, 12th day of Shaw'waal. (Friday, 13th of May, 2022). FRIDAY KHUTBAH. BismilLah. AlhamdulilLah for blessing us with another blessed day of the week. Let's prepare for this day and fear ALLAH in all we do as death is approaching us.  Our death and meeting with our Creator is approaching and yet our biggest worry is what are we going to wear and eat tomorrow? in competition. One day you'll just be a memory for people, and a lesson to others. Do everything you can to please ALLAH, be a positive lesson. Just imagine how many people were here with us last year or even yesterday, but are no longer here again and forever! Even our turn is soon approaching. May ALLAH forgive us an forgive them. We walk with our heads high up in the sky, unaware that one day we'll be trapped 6' Feet under the ground. You look for the latest fashion and designer clothes, but don't forget O' Son of Adam!  You will end up being wrapped up in just ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 11th day of Shaw'waal. (Thursday, 12th of May, 2022). WHY CAN'T WE PRAY AT CERTAIN TIMES?. BismilLah.  The orders and prohibitions of Allah are based upon wisdom. Sometimes this wisdom is clear to us and at other times our mind can not realize or understand it. In both cases, the Muslim has to fulfill the order of Allah and avoid His prohibition. This is what Islam requires. Islam is to submit to the Orders of Allah and abide by them. As regards the answer about the prayers, it is as follows: The prayers of Muslims are of two kinds: Obligatory prayers and supererogatory prayers. Allah has enjoined the obligatory prayers at fixed times. Allah Says (interpretation which means): "Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours" (An-Nisa 4:103). Besides, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) illustrated the times during which these prayers should be performed, and the times of the supererogatory prayers as well...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a, 10th day of Shaw'waal. (Wednesday, 11th of May, 2022). HOW TO HANDLE THE WASWAS (Evil Whisperings) ESPECIALLY IN OUR SALAAT. BismilLah.  Sometimes during salaat or after salaat, you start having some whispering that your salaat is incomplete or not correct or doubt if ALLAH accepted. There are many prophetic ways to deal with such evil whisperings.  1. Whenever any doubt/waswas arises, assure yourself that your Salaah, Wudhu, Ghusl and everything else are correct and valid regardless of what comes to mind. As a remedy, assure yourself that every action of mine is valid irrespective of the evil whisperings. This may difficult for the first few times, it will become much easier after effort and hard work. You just need to keep studying especially the right way to offer our salaat. Find an authentic book about salaat and keep revising and learning.  2. Remind yourself constantly that these thoughts are from Shaytaaan, how can...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 9th day of Shaw'waal. (Tuesday, 10th of May, 2022). RULINGS ON OBSERVING THE THIRD, FORTIETH DAY AFTER THE DEATH OF A RELATIVE. BismilLah. Our Scholars based on Quran and Sunnah have stated that offering dua or prayers for the deceased after his burial is Sunnah, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (3221) from the hadeeth of ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may ALLAH be pleased with him) who said: When the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) had finished burying a deceased person, he would stand over him and say: “Pray for forgiveness for your brother, and ask that he be made steadfast, for he is being questioned now.”  Offering dua’ for the deceased Muslims in general, and for close relatives in particular, is also prescribed in general terms at any time, without specifying any particular time, because of the general meaning of the words of ALLAH, may HE be exalted  “And those who came after them say: "Our ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum al-ithnayn, 8th day of Shaw'waal. (Monday, 9th of May, 2022). SOME BASIC ADVICE FOR US ALL. BismilLah.  Let's strive to live a life full of appreciation to ALLAH regardless of your situation seeking ALLAH to make it better. If things get difficult, the Qur'an should be your companion. If loneliness starts to hurt, send your supplications through the heavens especially by reciting durood regularly (salaat Alan Nabi). When people ask how you are, always praise ALLAH by saying Alhamdulillah and smile even if things seems rough. When you see an ant or any little creations on the road, avoid stepping on it or hitting it with your car, seeking therein the Face of ALLAH; for perhaps HE will have mercy on you as you had mercy on it Remember that the ant glorifies ALLAH, so don't cut of it's glorifying by killing it. When you pass by a bird drinking from a pond, don't go so near so as to scare it, and seek therein the Face of ALLAH; perhap...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 7th day of Shaw'waal. (Sunday, 8th of May, 2022). STAYING STEADFAST AFTER RAMADHAAN.  Bismillah. Been Muslims of the creator not for Ramadhaan means we must continuously be in the state of obedience to ALLAH'S, firm upon His rules, steadfast upon His Deen, so that we are not of those who worship ALLAH only during one month or only in one place. Rather, the believer knows that the Lord of Ramadhan is also the Lord of other months, and that HE is the Lord of all times and places, so he is steadfast upon the rules of the creator until we meets HIM while HE is pleased with us.  If standing in prayer at night during Ramadhan has ended, then there remains voluntary night prayer throughout the year. Let's strive in getting closer to our Creator and abandon satan bcs he is our enemy.  May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum As-Sabt, 6th day of Shaw'waal. (Saturday, 7th of May, 2022). RAMADHAN IS SADLY GONE SHEITAN IS BACK FROM A MONTH IN PRISON. BismilLah.  Unfortunately its’s been a few days since we said goodbye to Ramadhan 1443/2022. Many of us are trying to hold onto the ‘spirit of Ramadhan for as long as possible, the powerful connection to ALLAH, the revived relationship with the Qur’an and Salah, and the feeling of being productive and active with our worship. However, the good habits we developed during the blessed month will sometimes be forgotten until next Ramadhan by many as we may be too busy, distracted, unmotivated, or simply forget about them. With that in mind, here are 3 tips on how to keep up the good habits after Ramadhan and continue to be close to ALLAH. Tip 1. Work continually to strengthen your Eemaan: eemaan is the engine we need to keep doing good deeds. When our eemaan is strong, it’s easy to come near ALLAH and engage in different a...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Jumuat, 5th day of Shaw'waal. (Friday, 6th of May, 2022). GUIDANCE IS ONLY GRANTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE TAQWA. BismilLah.  Hidayah (guidance) is only granted to those who have Taqwa (consciousness of ALLAH). ALLAH says, (Say to mankind: It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'an) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand)) (41:44), and, (And ALLAH send down of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zaalimin (wrongdoers) in nothing but loss) (17:82). This is a sample of the numerous Aayaat indicating that the believers, in particular, benefit from the Qur'an. That is because the Qur'an is itself a form of guidance, but the guidance in it is only granted to the righteous, jus...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 4th day of Shaw'waal. (Thursday, 5th of May, 2022). HOW TO REMAIN STEADFAST IN ISLAM AFTER RAMADAN. BismilLaah. Islam is a complete way of life till death not only in Ramadhan. Its sad that Ramadhan is gone so we must remind ourselves that we are Muslims of all times not only in Ramadhan and we have the Quran to guide us through all times.  The Quran is the main means for one to remain steadfast, and attachment to it preserves and safeguards a person during trials. ALLAH Says: “And those who disbelieve say: ‘Why was the Quran not revealed to him all at once?’ Thus [it is] that ALLAH may strengthen thereby your heart. And ALLAH have spaced it distinctly.” [Quran 25: 32].  Why is the Quran a means for steadfastness? 1.  It instils faith in the heart and purifies the soul by connecting it to ALLAH. 2.  It calms the heart of the believer and makes it tranquil. 3.  It provides the believer with the correct principl...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a, 3rd day of Shaw'waal. (Wednesday, 4th of May, 2022). SO WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN? BismilLaah. AlhamdulilLah for guiding us all through the blessed month of Ramadhan.   What Have We Gained From Ramadhan? Ramadan is a school of eeman and a 'stop to recharge one's spiritual batteries' - to acquire one's provision for the rest of the year... For when will one take a lesson and change for better if not in the month of Ramadhan? The noble month is a true school of transformation in which we change our actions, habits and manners that are in variance with the Law of ALLAH 'azza wa jall. Verily, ALLAH does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. (Ar-Ra`d, 11).  If you are from those who benefited from Ramadhan, fulfilled the requirements of taqwa, truly fasted the month, prayed in it with truthfulness, and strove against your soul, then praise and thank ALLAH, and ask HIM for steadfastness...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 2nd day of Shaw'waal. (Tuesday, 3rd of May, 2022). HAVE YOU STARTED PAYING FOR YOUR RAMADHAN DEBTS OR STARTED YOUR 6 DAYS IN SHAWWAL? BismilLah.  It's important we don't delay any acts of worship that can get us closer to ALLAH. Those who missed any days in Ramadhan should start fasting now without delaying it unless with genuine reasons to delay it. Those who doesn't owe any days should start fasting the 6 recommended days in this month Shawwaal.  The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).” According to another report: “ALLAAH has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days is like fasting 2 months that completes the whole year.”  Even though its permissible to fast these 6 special days ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum al-ithnayn, 1st day of Shaw'waal. (Monday, 2nd of May, 2022). EID MUBARAK TO YOU ALL. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. I wish you eid Mubarak. May ALLAH accept it from us all and unite the ummah from any satanic influences. Aameen.  Please don't forget these Sunnah acts today. Remember to offer your Zakaat-al-Fitr this morning before going for  eid if you've not given yet. Remember to perform Ghusl (pure Islamic bath) before going for Eid. Brush your teeth. Dress up, putting on best clothes available, whether new or cleaned old ones. Apply perfume (only men). Have breakfast before leaving for prayer ground. Go to Eid prayer early. Offer Salaat-al-Eid in congregation preferably in an open place except when whether is not permitting like rain, snow, regulations etc. Use a separate route one for going and one returning from Eid prayer ground. Recite the following Takbir on the ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 30th day of Ramadhan. (Sunday, 1st of May, 2022). HOW TO BE UNITED AS MUSLIMS TOWARDS AN ACT OF WORSHIP. BismilLah.  The only truthful and correct way to unite this Ummah is through knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah and its implementation through following the Salaf (predecessors) not as we think it should be or what our parents or unknowledgeable elders says. We allow simple issues to divide us unfortunately. We all know today is 30th day of Ramadan meaning we were expecting to sight the shawwal moon ladt night based on the commands of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.  The fact is that the moon was not sighted and authenticated anywhere so we all unite to offer our eid prayers tomorrow Monday in shaa ALLAH. Those who started fasting on Sunday will then have to end tonight to complete 29 days for those of us who started on Saturday to have fasted for 30 days then we all pray on Monday as a united Ummah but unf...
