 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 14th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Monday, 10th of October 2022). ARE YOU HOPING FOR ALLAH’S BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE?. This is a bit long but read over and over for a change of lifestyle. BismilLah. 


ALLAH says in Qur'an 13:11,

For him [i.e., each one] are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of ALLAH. Indeed, ALLAH will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when ALLAH intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides HIM any patron.


This is an important verse which indicates that ALLAH, may HE be exalted, in HIS perfect justice and wisdom does not change the condition of the people from good to bad or from bad to good, from ease to hardship or from hardship to ease, unless they change their condition themselves. So if they are in a state of righteousness and goodness and they change, ALLAH will change things for them with punishment, calamities, hardship, drought, famine, disunity and other kinds of punishments as appropriate requital. ALLAH says: “And your Lord is not at all unjust to (HIS) slaves” [Fussilat 41:46]. 


Or He may give them respite and give them time so that they might truen to the right path, but if they do not then they will be seized unexpectedly, as HE says: “So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, ALLAH opened for them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them (in punishment), and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows” [al-An’aam 6:44]., meaning despairing of all goodness we seek refuge in ALLAH from the punishment and wrath of ALLAH. Or they may be given respite until the Day of Resurrection, when their punishment will be more severe, as ALLAH says:

“Consider not that ALLAH is unaware of that which the Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrongdoers) do, but HE gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror”[Ibraaheem 14:42], meaning that they are given respite until after death, and that will be a greater and more severe punishment. 


Or they may be in a state of evil and sin, then they repent to ALLAH and turn back to HIM, and they regret their sins and adhere to obedience, so ALLAH changes their state of wretchedness, hardship and poverty to ease, unity and righteousness because of their good deeds and their repentance to ALLAH, may HE be glorified and exalted. It says in another verse : “That is so because ALLAH will never change a grace which HE has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their ownselves” [al-Anfaal 8:53]. This verse tells us that if they are in a state of ease, comfort and goodness, then they change and turn to sin, their situation will be changed there is no power and no strength except with ALLAH: or they may be given respite, as stated above. The opposite is also true: if they were in a state of evil and sin, or disbelief and misguidance, then they repent, regret their sin and adhere to obedience to ALLAH, ALLAH will change their situation from bad to good; HE will change their disunity into unity and harmony; HE will change their hardship to ease, well being and plenty; HE will change their situation from draught, famine, , lack of water and so on to rainfall, fertile land and other kinds of goodness. So from all the above, we can conclude that our state of difficulties in life is due to our lack of obedience to ALLAH. If we truly need change to a better way of life we better change our ways of life. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all 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. 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...
