 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 13th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Wednesday 7th December. 2022). HOW STRONG IS OUR LOVE FOR ALLAH. BismilLah. 


There are so many things and people in our lives that hold a place in our heart. This can include parents, spouses, children, our home, and our wealth. We love these people and objects, and each time we have something new to love, we give that thing or person a part of our heart.


We should always be sure, however, that the most significant amount of love we have is our love of ALLAH.

This means that while we love many other things, we should never replace the love of ALLAH with anything else. This is because if we love anything or anyone else the way we should only love ALLAH, it will never satisfy us and we will never feel content.


ALLAH says in the Quran, “Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH do the hearts find rest/peace.” [Quran 13:28]


Unless we are remembering ALLAH, our hearts will not be at ease.


Be it a loved one or a material object, we will constantly be in worry about it or disappointed because of it. This is because the happiness we are seeking from that beloved one or thing can only be granted by ALLAH. By loving the creation in that way, we forget that ALLAH is the only One who can help us and grant us happiness.


So yes, while you should love your family members, and you can hold material objects close to your heart, just be sure not to let the love of the Creator be taken by any of the CREATION. Save that for ALLAH and ALLAH alone so that HE may love you and grant you happiness and contentment in this life and the

next in shaa ALLAH.


As ALLAH mentions, “And [yet], among the people are those who take other than ALLAH as equals [to HIM]. They love them as they [should] love ALLAH. But those who believe are stronger in love for ALLAH.” [Quran 2:165]


May ALLAH fill our heart with the love of HIM, and may you be among those HE loves as well. May ALLAH remove all sorrow and grief from our hearts, and fill them with happiness and contentment always. 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...
