 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. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Muharram (Friday 28th August 2020). ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE. BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) (again) said: Who has followed a funeral procession today? Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - the Holy Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy today Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu ...

 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...
