 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 2nd day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Friday 24th March 2023). What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )? BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah for granting us this blessed day in this blessed month. 

Maghfirah_: is for ALLAH to forgive you for the sin, but the sin will still be registered on your book of deeds. Maghfirah is ALLAH’s forgiveness for your sin, but on Judgment Day, it will be written on your record, ALLAH will ask you about it, but HE won’t punish you because of it. This is for ALLAH to remind us that HE records whatever we do, so we must be careful. 


Afuw: is for ALLAH to forgive you for the sin and delete it from your book of deeds as if it did not happen. ‘Afuw is ALLAH’s pardon for your sin. It will be completely erased from your record, and ALLAH won’t ask you about it on Judgement Day. 


This is why our Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that this is the best Dua to make when seeking Laylatul Qadr.

*"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'afu 'annee"*

(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi)

*O ALLAH, You are The One Who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me.)"*


So make sure you recite this dua all the time and as much as you can. Make it one of your daily athkaar.

Imagine that you are standing on the day of judgment being held accountable for your deeds, and you're not guaranteed your entry to Jannah.

Suddenly, you find that you have mountains of Hasanat (rewards) in your record. Do you know from where these mountains of rewards come from?


Because in the Dunya,  you kept saying "SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah al ‘Adhim”. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam said: Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by Al Rahman, (The Most Merciful. One):*

سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ - *SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi, Subhan-Allahi 'l-`adheem (Glory be to ALLAH, and Praise, Glory be to ALLAH, the SUPREME"*

(Bukhari , Muslim)


Let's study and share with others seeking ALLAH'S blessings for helping others to do the rewarding acts of worship. Be among those Who Guides Others to good deeds.  May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Saturday, 10th February 2024). SOME PROPHETIC TEACHINGS BEFORE GOING TO BED. Bismillah. Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
