 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 24th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Wednesday 15th February. 2023). MARRIAGE COMPATIBILITY CHECKS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND A MAJOR SIN. BismilLah. 


Is a sad reality that two Muslims today will abandon ALLAH and HIS Messenger to visit soothsayers or evil agents to find out if they are compatible for marriage or not astaghfirullah. So you trust these evil people more than ALLAH and His Messenger? 

I'm asking this because name compatibility checks are done to determine whether the two people will have a good future together or not. But this is very contrary to what ALLAH tells us in Surah Luqman: “Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with HIM (alone). It is HE Who sends down rain, and HE Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn tomorrow?: Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die?. Verily with ALLAH is full knowledge and HE is acquainted (with all things).” ALLAH basically says only HE knows what happens tomorrow so why do you ignore that and go for a marriage compatibility check?

Islam teaches us that we pray directly to ALLAH and we rely upon only on HIM, knowing that HE alone knows the ‘Ghayb’, the Unseen and the future is unseen and unknown. Fortune tellers and the like have no place in Islam and anyone who claims to know the future is either Insane or communicating with jinn (there is a whole story behind this). Numerology, Name Compatibility checks and fortune telling are absolutely haraam.


There are so many hadiths on this Matter. Imam Nawawi placed an entire chapter called “The Prohibition of Going to Soothsayers, Astrologers and Diviners, and of Seeking Omens.”

One hadith in that chapter is as follows, which clearly indicates the immense gravity and seriousness of the sin:

“If one goes to a soothsayer, asks about something, and believes it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.” [Muslim]. Meaning you pray but without earning rewards for the prayers for 40 days SubhaaAllah. Imagine dying in such a state. Hmmmmm. Please seek forgiveness if you are one of those who did that or seeking to do that. 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. 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...
