 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 6th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1444AH (Friday 30th December. 2022).

STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE  SADAQA EVEN IF BY SMILING. BismilLah.


The last and Final Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to ALLAH) every day that the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage onto it, is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also Sadaqa, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the Masjid) is also Sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa.” [Sahih Bukhari]. So you see, sadaqah is not just giving money. Appreciate what you've got from ALLAH and stop complaining to help you gain more from ALLAH. 


Once a person came to an Alim (scholar in Islam) and complained to him about his poverty, saying that he was in great distress and would prefer death to such a life. The Alim said to him, “Are you willing to have your eyes taken out in exchange for ten thousand Dirhams (silver coins)?” He replied, “Certainly not!” The Alim then asked, “Would you agree to have your hands and feet cut off in return for twenty thousand Dirhams?” The man said that he would not agree to any such thing. 


So the Alim asked if he were at least willing to be made a madman in exchange for ten thousand Dirhams. The man said that he was not willing. 


At this, the Alim said to him, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You admit that ALLAH Ta'ala has granted you so many gifts, and yet you complain of poverty!” [Fadhail-e-Sadaqaat]. 


The value of ALLAH'S gifts is fully understood when we lose them. Let us be more thankful to our Lord by using HIS gifts to praise, worship and obey HIM. Let's strive to praise ALLAH regardless of our situation. Say Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal all the time with eemaan. 


May ALLAH have mercy on our lack of appreciation and protect our eemaan 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. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. 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...
