 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 5th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Thursday, 25th May, 2023). WE HAVE THE FREE WILL TO CHOOSE PARADISE OR HELL FOR OURSELVES, LET'S MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE. BismilLah. 


ALLAH says in Qur'an 79:34-41

فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى

But when there comes the Great Catastrophe. This refers to the Day of Judgement. It has been called this because it will overcome every matter. It will be frightful and horrifying.

As ALLAH says,

وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ

And the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter. (54:46).

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ 

The Day when man shall remember what he strove for. Meaning, at that time, the Son of Adam will reflect upon all of his deeds, both the good and the evil.

As ALLAH says in another verse,

يَوْمَيِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الاِنسَـنُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى

On the Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance avail him. (89:23).

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ 

And Hell shall be made apparent for whoever sees. Meaning, it will become apparent for the onlookers, so the people will see it with their own eyes.

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ 

Then, for him, who transgressed,

meaning, who rebels and behaves arrogantly.

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا 

And preferred the life of this world,

meaning, he gives it precedence over the matters of his religion and his hereafter.

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ 

Verily, his abode will be the Hell;

meaning his final destination will be Hell, his food will be from the tree of Zaqqum, and his drink will be from Hamim.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ 

But as for him, who feared standing before his LORD and forbade himself from desire.

meaning, he fears the standing before ALLAH, he fears ALLAH'S judgement of him, he prevents his soul from following its desires, and he compels it to obey its Master.

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ 

Verily Paradise will be his abode.

meaning, his final abode, his destination, and his place of return will be the spacious Paradise. ALLAHU AKBAR. May ALLAH aid us in making the right choice towards Paradise. 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...
