 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 15th day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Tuesday, 14th of June, 2022). INVESTMENT WITH ALLAH. BismilLah. 


ALLAH says in Qur'an 57:11,

مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقۡرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٌ كَرِيمٌ 

Who is it that would loan ALLAH a goodly loan so HE will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward?

Who is he that will lend ALLAH a handsome loan?

Umar bin Al-Khattab said that this Ayah refers to spending in ALLAH'S cause.


It was also said that it pertains to spending on children.

What is correct is that it is more general than that. So all those who spend in the cause of ALLAH with good intentions and a sincere heart, then they fall under the generality of this Ayah. This is why ALLAH the Exalted said:

مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ

Who is he that will lend Allah handsome loan:then (Allah) will increase it manifold to his credit (in repaying), and in another Ayah,

أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً

 (many times) (2:245),

meaning, being handsome reward and tremendous provisions: Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.


Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abdullah bin Masud said,

"When this Ayah, 

مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ

 (Who is he that will lend ALLAH handsome loan: then (ALLAH) will increase it manifold to his credit (in repaying),) was revealed, Abu Ad-Dahdah Al-Ansari said, `O ALLAH'S Messenger! Does ALLAH ask us for a loan' The Prophet said,

Yes, O Abu Ad-Dahdah.

He said, `Give me your hand, O ALLAH'S Messenger,' and the Prophet placed his hand in his hand.

Abu Ad-Dahdah said, `Verily, I have given my garden as a loan to my Lord.'


He had a garden that contained six hundred date trees; his wife and children were living in that garden too.

Abu Ad-Dahdah went to his wife and called her, Umm Ad-Dahdah!'

She said, `Here I am.'

He said, `Leave the garden, because I have given it as a loan to my Lord, the Exalted and Most Honored.'


She said, `That is a successful trade, O Abu Ad-Dahdah!'

She then transferred her goods and children.

The Messenger of ALLAH said,

كَمْ مِنْ عَذْقٍ رَدَاحٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لاَِبِي الدَّحْدَاح

How plentiful are the sweet date clusters that Abu Ad-Dahdah has in Paradise!"

In another narration, the Prophet said,

رُبَّ نَخْلَةٍ مُدَلاَّةٍ عُرُوقُهَا دُرٌّ وَيَاقُوتٌ لاَِبِي الدَّحْدَاحِ فِي الْجَنَّة

How many a date tree that has lowered down its clusters, which are full of pearls and gems in Paradise for Abu Ad-Dahdah! 

وَلَهُ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ

and he will have a honorable reward.


May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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.
