Islamic Daily Reminder

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Saturday, 1st of October 2022). LET'S STRIVE TO PLEASE ALLAH NOT HIS CREATION. BismilLah. Our beloved Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He who displeased ALLAH for seeking the pleasure of people, ALLAH is displeased with him and those people are also displeased, for pleasing whom he had earned ALLAH’s displeasure. And he who pleases ALLAH, although by it he displeased people, ALLAH is pleased with him, and also those people whom he had displeased for pleasing ALLAH become pleased with him by the will of ALLAH. ALLAH makes him splendid and his speech and acts in the eyes of others beautiful. This is a wonderful hadith which simplifies life immensely for us. It is impossible to please everybody all the time. In fact, it is even impossible to please one person all the time. ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) tells us that instead of constantly catering to one person or another, we should direct ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 4th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Friday, 30th of September 2022). HOW IMPORTANT IS MAKKAH AND MADEENAH  TO THE  MUSLIM WORLD BismilLah. ALLAH has made MAKKAH and MADEENAH the places of resort for mankind and a place of safety and a holy sanctuary where pilgrims can gather to perform the rituals of Hajj (Pilgrimage) and ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) in an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility, hoping for Allah’s Reward and fearing HIS Punishment (Glorified be HE). It is also a place where the reward for performing Salah (Prayer) and righteous deeds are multiplied. It's a place with 💯% security from ALLAH that's why men and women can pray together bcs Satan has no chance to influence anyone at that Holy place.  As muslims it must be among our most important priorities to visit this country for Hajj for all those who can afford. You can also plan Umra especially around Ramadan as a visit to gain more rewards and learn more abo...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Thursday, 29th of September 2022). A SERIOUS CONDITION TO FULFILL FOR ALLAH TO ANSWER OUR DUA. BismilLah Consuming haraam wealth is one of the major reason why du’aa’s are not answered. Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAAH be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “O people, ALLAAH is Good and only accepts that which is good. ALLAH commanded the pious to follow the same commandments as HE gave to the Messengers. HE says; ‘O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods which ALLAH has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am Well-Acquainted with what you do’ [al-Mu’minoon 23:51]. ‘O you who believe (in the Oneness of ALLAH, Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that I have provided you with’ [al-Baqarah 2:172]. Another important point i...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 2nd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Wednesday, 28th of September 2022). DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR PAST SINS, JUST REGRET, REPENT SINCERELY AND WITNESS THE BLESSINGS OF ALLAH IN YOUR LIFE.  BismilLah.  Never doubt about the promise of ALLAH to mankind. In the Quran, we find many verses that shows how ALLAH will increase HIS blessings on us if we repented and asked HIM for forgiveness. Remember what Prophet Nuuh (Noah, peace be upon him) said to his people: “I told them, ‘Seek ALLAH’s forgiveness, for verily HE is the One that forgives frequently. HE will then send the skies upon you (with rain) in abundance. And HE will increase your wealth and children, and bestow upon you gardens, and bestow upon you rivers’”. (Quran, 71: 10-12). Allahu Akbar. Do you need anything more than wealth and children? If ALLAH bless you with these then HE would add anything else that goes with the 2 such as health and happy lifestyle. Just stop the wrong do...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 1st day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Tuesday, 27th of September 2022). DO YOU TRULY TRUST IN ALLAH? BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us another day. As Muslims, its very important that we trust ALLAH fully no BUT no IF. If you truly trust in ALLAH and act according to HIS instructions and promises, trust me HE is sufficient for HIS servants who put their trust in HIM. We all trust ALLAH with our mouth by saying Tawakkaltu AllalLah but our actions are contrary to our sayings.  We are all striving day and night for cash right? But do we invest with ALLAH with our money or we entrust our monies with the kuffar and Sheitan? Lotto, betting, treasure bills with interest based banks etc are all investment with sheitan.  ALLAH says;  “The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of ALLAH is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And ALLAH multiplies [HIS reward] f...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 30th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Monday, 26th of September 2022). THE SWEETNESS of FAITH is TO LOVE ALLAH, HIS Messenger, and the people. BismilLah.  The Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam,  said, “None will taste the sweetness of faith until he or she loves a person only for the sake of ALLAH, until he would rather be thrown in the fire than to return to unbelief, and until ALLAH and HIS Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else.”Sahih Bukhari 5694, Sahih Muslim 43.  We can only claim to love ALLAAH and HIS Messenger if we totally strive to obey the commandments of ALLAH and HIS Messenger. If you commit fornication (zina), steal, disrespect parents, work with alcoholic companies, having disbelievers as closed friends, treating our wives badly etc then we must fear that our eemaan or faith is weak and may even die without eemaan wa-eeyaazulLah.  May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic in...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 29th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Sunday, 25th of September 2022). THE WISDOM AND SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND OUR 5 DAILY SALAAT. BismilLah.  Some Muslims with high western knowledge but less Islamic knowledge actually think that some of the commands of Islamic Shari’ah carry no wisdom, purpose, or significance. They think like the atheist and believe that its components are loosely related to each other and lack logical harmony. Please note that as soon as you challenge the wisdom or logic behind anything ALLAH and HIS Messenger has commanded, you've invalidated your shahaadah or faith with ALLAH. Satan will keep putting doubts in your mind till you join the atheist or other faith for dunya or earth acquisition.  These commands are simply to test the loyalty and obedience of a servant by his Master. It is simply a servant-master relationship and nothing beyond. If the servant obeys, he is rewarded and if he disobeys, he is then punished. The ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 28th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Saturday, 24th of September 2022). COURTSHIP IN ISLAM. BismilLaah.  To non Muslims, courtship is a period during which a couple develop a romantic relationship before getting married with excuse of getting to know each other well regardless of any disobedience to ALLAH within such relationship. This kind of relationship is strictly forbidden in Islam. Islam has a permissible form of courtship before the actual wedding day. First of all, it's not permissible and not recommended or healthy for any Muslim who is not ready for marriage to initiate any form of relationship with a brother or sister. It's important to build good relationship with ALLAH first through studies of Islam and also building a good and halaal career or source of income before even thinking of marriage. Don't waste your time with anyone within these period and be focused especially our brothers and sisters in education or in any appren...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 27th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Friday, 23rd of September 2022). GIVE SADAQAH TO EARN MORE FROM ALLAH. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us another blessed day of the week.  ALLAH commanded our beloved Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to say to mankind; ‘Surely my Lord gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever HE wills of HIS servants. And whatever you spend in charity, HE will compensate ˹you˺ for it. For HE is the Best of providers.’” [Quran 34:39].   May ALLAH accept it from us all. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 26th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Thursday, 22nd of September 2022). ARE YOU IN ANY STRESS OR IN ANY TROUBLE? ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DUA OF PROPHET YUNUS ALAIHI SALAAM WHEN HE WAS IN TROUBLE. BismilLah.  If you study the Seerah or story of Prophet Yunus alaihi Salaam in Qur'an 21:87, you will understand what happened to him when he tried to run away from his duties as a Prophet of ALLAH due to anger of his people not listening to his daawah but what is important to the reminder today is what happened to him finally when he was in trouble when the big fish swallowed him.  In Qur'an 21:88, ALLAH says  فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُۨجِى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ  So ALLAH responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do ALLAH save the believers. means, `ALLAH brought him forth from the belly of the fish and from that darkness.'  The leader of all Prophets sallallahu alaihi wasallam encou...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 25th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Wednesday, 21st of September 2022). BETTING OF ANY KIND IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. BismilLaah. ALLAH (ArRazzaaq, The Provider of Wealth) Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5, Suurah Maaidah verses 90-91 to the nearest Meaning "O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling(betting), (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows are an abomination of the Shaytaan's handiwork: avoid such abomination that you may prosper. ALLAH says. Betting on something whereby one wins/loses based merely on chance is a clear manifestation of the abomination of maysir or gambling which is categorically forbidden to the believers who sincerely fear ALLAH and the Last Day.   One may play or engage in a sport like football, or tennis, or cricket, or swimming, etc provided its indulgence does not effect the fulfillment of ones obligatory duties in Islam such as our salaat, dressing Islamically etc.  But if one places a bet t...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 24th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Tuesday, 20th of September 2022). ALHAMDULILLAH FOR HIS GUIDANCE. LET'S BOOST OUR EEMAAN. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.  Good guidance is ALLAH’s greatest gift to mankind. Those who accept this guidance are termed Muslims. The name of the guidance is Islam. That's to submit or surrender to the guidance of the Creator. We cannot do without HIS guidance. Our lives will be absolutely be of any meaning, unless we acknowledge ALLAH and worship HIM as HE alone deserves to be worshipped. As long as we have right guidance, we would know where we came from and where we’re going to when we die. As Muslims, we are so very lucky because we don’t even have to hunt and search for the right guidance as non Muslims are struggling with. In the Holy Quran and the life of the Final Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him, we find all the guidance we need to be successful. Every time we recite Suura Faatihah, we begin by t...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 23rd day of Swafar 1444AH. (Monday, 19th of September 2022). ALLAH IS WITH YOU MY PATIENT BROTHERS AND SISTERS.  BismilLah.  ALLAH has made patience like a horse that never gets tired, an army that can never be defeated and a strong fortress that can never be breached. Patience and victory are twin brothers, for victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress and ease comes with hardship. Patience is of more help to the one who has it, as it helps without any need for equipment or numbers and its relationship to victory is like that of the head to the body.  In the Qur’aan, ALLAAH has guaranteed those who are patient that HE will give them reward without measure. HE tells us that HE is with us by guiding and supporting us and granting us a clear victory. ALLAAH says in Quran, “Surely, I'm with those who are As‑Saabiroon (the patient)” Quran 6:46. Do you want ALLAH to be with you always? Then lets rely only on ALL...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 22nd day of Swafar 1444AH. (Sunday, 18th of September 2022). DON'T BLAME ANYONE FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE.  BismilLah.  Islam teaches us to take responsibility for our actions and our situation without blaming others. Blaming others is so often used as an excuse to avoid necessary introspection and self-improvement. Abu Dharr may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said that ALLAH the Exalted said: يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أُحْصِيهَا لَكُمْ ثُمَّ أُوَفِّيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ O my servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you and then recompense for you, so let him who finds good praise ALLAH and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself. Sahih Muslim 2577. Ibn Rajab may ALLAH be pleased with him comments on this tradition, saying: وَيَكُونُ مَ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 21st day of Swafar 1444AH. (Saturday, 17th of September 2022). TO WEAR A RING OR ANYTHING SIMILAR FOR PROTECTION, IS AN ACT OF SHIRK. BismilLah.  ALLAH the Almighty Says in quran 39v38, ask them, the things that you invoke besides ALLAH, - if ALLAH intended some harm for me, could they remove the harm, or if HE (ALLAH) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold HIS Mercy? Say: Sufficient for me is ALLAH; in HIM those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their trust. Imran bin Husain (r.a.) narrated: The Prophet (Sallalahu alaihi wasallam) once saw a man with a brass ring on his hand and asked him, “What is this?” The man replied, “To overcome the weakness of old age.” He said, “Remove it, for, it can only add to your weakness. Should death overtake you while you are wearing it, you would never succeed.” [This Hadeeth was recorded by Ahmad (bin Hanbal) (r.a.) with a good chain of narrators. He also recorded in a tradition traced t...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat , 20th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Friday, 16th of September 2022). WHO IS YOUR FRIEND AND HOW DOES HE OR SHE INFLUENCE YOU POSITIVELY TOWARDS ALLAH. Bismillah. I'm sure most of us has noticed that whenever you are with well mannered and mature people who fear Allah, automatically your manners become greater, and you become closer to their level of faith and maturity. However, when you are with people who are still immature and don't have the best of manners and faith, your manners, faith and level of maturity also drops without you actually realizing it.  The way it works is amazing. Your friends will influence you in a dramatic way whether you like it or not. It’s not a hypothesis, nor is it a theory; it’s a law or fact. Let's be careful with whom we go out with, who you chat with, and who you gift your companionship to.  Because whether they are good people or not, they will always gift you back some of their manners. If you agree...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 18th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Wednesday, 14th of September 2022). LET’S PUT OUR COMPLETE TRUST IN ALLAH. BismilLah.  The concept of relying on ALLAH is known in Arabic as TAWAKKUL. Tawakkul involves placing complete trust in ALLAH above and beyond all others, including oneself. The great scholar Ibn Rajab beautifully defined it as; "Complete reliance on ALLAH is the sincere dependence of the heart on ALLAH in the servant's endeavors in pursuing his interests and safeguarding himself against anything that may be harmful to his well-being both in this life and in the aakhira.". [The Purification of the Soul (London: Al-Firdous, 1996), s.105]. Tawakkul is your source of contentment, ease, protection, and relief from fear and doubt. It is one of the best means you can use to come closer to ALLAH and raise your level of faith (eeman) and certainty (yaqeen). And by submitting your heart and giving complete authority to ALLAH through ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 18th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Wednesday, 14th of September 2022). OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IN LIFE. Bismillaah. As Muslims, our ultimate goal should be to attain the Pleasure of ALLAH (SWT) by:  1. Directing our sincere devotion to HIM alone.  2. Achieving the true following of HIS messenger, Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam hoping for Jannat by ALLAH'S mercy.  In saheeh Bukhari, we read that, Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (r.a) relates that the Prophet said: "Allah, the Lord of Honour and Glory, will call the inmates of Paradise, 'O Residents of Paradise!' They  will respond, 'Here we are, our Lord, and all good is in Your Hands. HE will ask them: 'Are you now pleased?' They will answer: 'Why should we not be pleased, our Lord?  When You have bestowed upon us such bounties which You have not bestowed on any of Your other creation. HE will then say to them: 'Shall I not bestow upon you something even better than...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 17th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Tuesday, 13th of September 2022). LOVING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY AS WE LOVE OTHERS. Bismillah. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most complete in faith are those best in their characters, those who are easy to socialize with, and those who get along with others and others get along with them. There is no good in the one who cannot get along with others and others cannot get along with him.” [Imam Tirmidhi]. We will all visit the same grave without discrimination on how the grave should be.  A believer worships ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) by being well mannered and dealing pleasantly with all, not to attain status or wealth, or for people’s praise, or to get married, etc., but only so that ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) may love him and make him beloved to HIS creation. Whoever considers exercising good manners as worship will deal courteously with everyone, be he rich or poor, an executive...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 16th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Monday, 12th of September 2022). ENJOINING GOOD AND FORBIDEN EVIL IS ALL WE NEED TO START DOING IF WE WANT ALLAH TO HELP US. BismilLah.  Have we sat down to really think why we are suffering and been humiliated by the kuffar? Do we know the Prophet prophesied this happening if evil becomes dominant within the Muslims community? Lets look at our communities today, can we be proud of having majority practising brothers and sisters? Definitely not, majority of our parents,  brothers and sisters have turned fornicators, thieves, gamblers, soothsayers etc throughout the world. Majority of our brothers and sisters are having children or pregnant out of marriage. These are sad realities that we must strive to stop within ourselves and our families.  Marriage is now expensive to bear, nothing like sunnah marriages any more, expensive marriages dominate now making zina (fornication) cheap. With all the...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Jaumul Ahad, 15th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Sunday, 11th of September 2022). HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH IN A DAY?. BismilLah.  The Qur'an is full of warnings ⚠️ about death and judgement day but lets have a look at Qur'an 78:40 where ALLAH says; إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا Verily, ALLAH have warned you of a near torment, meaning, the Day of Judgment. It is mentioned here to emphasize the fact that its occurrence has become close, because everything that is coming will certainly come to pass. يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ  the Day when man will see that which his hands have sent forth, meaning, all of his deeds will be presented to him -- the good and bad, and the old and new. This is similar to Allah's statement, وَوَجَدُواْ مَا عَمِلُواْ حَاضِرًا And they will find all that they did, placed before them. (18:49) It is also similar to His statement, يُنَبَّأُ الاِنسَـنُ يَوْمَيِذِ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Jaumul Jumuat, 13th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Friday, 9th of September 2022). HOW ARE YOU SAVING FOR YOUR NEXT LIFE?. BismilLah. The Mighty ALLAH and HIS Messenger Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam has encouraged/recommended us to be wise and invest for our hereafter instead of chasing this temporary place of abode for our body. It's so scary that we don't know when we will die but yet we keep on spending time accomulating wealth on wealth instead of saving for our real future eternal home, the hereafter.  ALLAH says to the nearest meaning; “O you who believe! Spend of that with which I, ALLAH have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Zaalimoon (wrongdoers)” [al-Baqarah 2:254]. There are so many of such verses on giving sadaqah.  May ALLAH (Al-Qayyuum,  The Maintainer of life) keep guiding us all and increases us in wisdom an...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 12th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Thursday, 8th of September 2022). VOLUNTARY FASTING IS THE BEST FOR US. BismilLah.  Its my hope that majority of us are fasting today and continue tomorrow for the 3 white days of the month. My apologies for not reminding you yesterday.  It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may ALLAH be pleased with him that he said: the Messenger of ALLAH said: “ALLAH said: “I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of MINE. And the dearest things, with which My servant seeks proximity to ME, is what I have enjoined upon him; and MY servant keeps on coming closer to ME through supererogatory deeds till I love him. So I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, his sense of sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks ME, I will give him, and if he asks MY protection (Refuge), I will protect him (i.e. give hi...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 11th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Wednesday, 7th of September 2022). LET'S STRIVE TO SOFTEN OUR HEARTS. BismilLah.  It is a curse to have a hardened heart and it is a blessings to have a soft heart. Those with hardened hearts suffer in this life, even though they may have all of the trappings of this life. They cannot find peace of mind and of heart because their hearts are hardened to ALLAH through sins and arguments. That is why ALLAH says, "And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and ALLAH will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind." Qur'an 20:124. What is most beneficial in this life is a soft heart which is acquired through obedience of ALLAH and HIS Messenger. We should strive to achieve it because everything else would be meaningless and useless if we do not have softened heart. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, "I have left...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 10th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Tuesday, 6th of September 2022). SEEKIG REFUGE IN ALLAH FROM A NIGHTMARE OR EVIL DREAM.  BISMILLAH.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said, “The good dream is from ALLAH and the evil dream is from Satan. So whoever sees something he dislikes, let him BLOW dry air to his left three times and seek refuge in ALLAH from Satan, for verily, it will not harm him. Verily, Satan cannot appear in my form.”Sahih Bukhari 6594.  This hadith highlights the importance of only seeking protection from ALLAH without any fear of any bad dream. Satan wants to put fear in us so that we can visit his agents the source sayers or fortune tellers and fall into kufur so ignore any bad dream, don't even inform anyone but rather seek protection from ALLAH as soon as you wakeup then blow air 3 times to your left after seeking protection from ALLAH. This is done by saying...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 9th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Monday, 5th of September 2022). LET'S  STRIVE TO BE PATIENT. BismilLah.  Please note as a Muslim that, ALL forms of difficulties can be punishment as expiation for our sins or are  trials from ALLAH to test our eemaan.  Scholars have said that a Muslim needs to have patience in three different domains: 1) In the worship of ALLAH. 2) In avoiding sins. 3) In times of calamities and tribulations. Patience is a character you always need. You need PATIENCE so that you can continue to worship ALLAH daily. You need PATIENCE so that you can control your ego when it lusts for sins. You need PATIENCE so that you can endure any calamity that strikes you. When you excel in patience under these three circumstances, you will be one of the patients.  "… and ALLAH loves the patient." (Quran 3:146). ALLAH says again; "And those who observe patience in order to seek the pleasure of their Lord and estab...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 8th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Sunday, 4th of September 2022). MARRIAGE THROUGH PARENTS OR RELATIVES. BismilLah.  The sad reality of the weak MUSLIM society today is that most sisters wants to meet thier man themselves, sometimes even commit haraam activities with intention to get to know each other before marriage AstaghfirulLah. Such non Islamic means of getting married is forbidden in Islam and mostly lead to early divorces. Obedience to ALLAH and HIS Messenger must be our priority whenever we intend to do anything. Next is obedience to our Parents. The best for a sister is for her parents to strive and find a good practicing Muslim brother and recommend him to their daughter and the best is if your parents present such a brother to you, don't just ignore but research about him and if you notice he is a good practicing muslim please accept and trust me, ALLAH will make the Marriage a successful one because of accepting what your parent...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 7th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Saturday, 3rd of September 2022). DEATH HAS NO TIMETABLE, INVEST FOR YOUR LIFE AFTER DEATH. BismilLah.  ALLAH says; يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ يَوۡمٌ لَّا بَيۡعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٌ وَلَا شَفَٰعَةٌۗ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ  O you who have believed, spend from that which ALLAH have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers – they are the wrongdoers. QUR'AN 2:254. ALLAH also says in Qur'an 6:160 that whoever does one good deed HE will multiply it 10 times and even more.  May ALLAH accept it from us all. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 6th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Friday, 2nd of September 2022). A VALUABLE LESSON.  BismilLah.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: When ALLAH intends to punish a group of people for their disobedience, the punishment afflicts everyone among them. Then they are resurrected according to their deeds. Sahih Muslim 2879.  This hadith highlights the fact that we CANNOT be quite when we noticed evil or bad deeds ongoing such as zina and religious innovations in our Muslim communities else when ALLAH'S punishment descend, it will affect us all and that's exactly the condition of the ummah today so let's wake up from our silence and speak with wisdom and knowledge beginning from our own relatives. Please remember today is Friday.  May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 5th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Thursday, 1st of August 2022). WHO IS ALLAH continues?. BismilLah.  If you truly wants to know who ALLAH is, just study HIS attributes. Each of HIS Attributes points to HIS GREATNESS beyond any comparison. HE is the ONLY PERFECT and CREATOR of ANYTHING that exist and existed.  In Qur'an 6:59 ALLAH says  With HIM are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but HE alone. Verily, HE is All-Knower, All-Aware." (31:34). He knows whatever there is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but HE knows it. ALLAH knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal. (Qur'an 40:19).  ALLAH says again Qur'an 6:60 HE brings death to HIS servants in their sleep at night, for sleep is minor death. ALLAH says  And (remember) when ALLAH said: "O `Isah (Jesus Christ PBUH)! I will take you and raise you to MYSELF..." (3:55) It is ALLAH Who takes away the souls at the ti...
