 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 3rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1444AH (Tuesday 27th December. 2022).

PURIFICATION OF OUR HEARTS. BismilLah 


One of the most beautiful, most soothing and most heartwarming moments you could have is when you realize how much ALLAH, The Most High, is protecting and taking care of your own heart.


This is so much felt in Qur’anic verses where ALLAH (Al-Muqeet, The Nourisher) is telling us how HE wants us to speak to one another…Like here for an example:

” ... And speak to people good [words] …” (Qur’an 2: 83).


The Arabic Aayah actually refers to good words as “husna” which also means beautiful. So ALLAH is instructing us to use not only good, but beautiful words with people.


Note also here:

“And tell My servants to say that which is best…” ( Qur’an 17: 53). 

Here, HE is making us carefully think about each word we utter, so that we do not just speak our minds in a careless/rude way claiming that this is our spontaneous reaction. Rather, HE is teaching us to say what’s better than our initial thought. Meaning, if you wanted to tell someone, “you’re not making any sense”, instead you’ll say, “thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me. Could you help me understand this part a bit better as maybe I failed to comprehend it well..?” this is what’s best! It is when you think twice before uttering words that could hurt, offend, disrespect, mock or ridicule someone without you knowing or caring.


This is discipline. This is how we become more dignified human beings and we dignify others. It is the exact opposite of the animalistic nature. An animal will not think twice before barking at you or biting yo,u for example, they’ll just follow their first instinct. But we are more elevated than that. We have the intellect and ability to tame our emotions and our reactions for the sake of our inner peace and for the sake of spreading peace to others.


This is what ALLAH (Al-Jaleel, The Majestic) is teaching us, and this is a highly crucial matter for the light of our hearts.


This is maybe why ALLAH Almighty tells us the following:

“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than the,; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 49: 11). 


Today we hear and witness Muslims fighting each other for the sake of other human beings they love Astaqfirullah. Remember carefully what the messenger of ALLAH said about two Muslims fighting, both will enter the hell fire if they die fighting each other. 


May ALLAH (Al-Wadud, The Loving, The Kind One) keep 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...

BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. Today mark the day when ALLAH granted Musah alayhi salaam victory over Fir'awn. Today mark the day ALLAH humiliated HIS worse enemy on earth Fir'awn for his disbelief in ALLAH and claiming he was ALLAH. We are all fasting on this blessed day seeking forgiveness from ALLAH for our sins from last year till date as the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended.  Those who are unable to fast can still do much to earn lots of rewards especially our sisters and daughters in their monthly cycle. You can recite lots of azkaar and give sadaqah with your intention to seek forgiveness from ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
