 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 11th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Wednesday, 31st May, 2023). LOVING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY AS WE LOVE OTHERS. Bismillah. 


The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most complete in faith are those best in their characters, those who are easy to socialize with, and those who get along with others and others get along with them. There is no good in the one who can not get along with others, and others can not get along with him.” [Imam Tirmidhi]. We will all visit the same grave without discrimination on how the grave should be. 


A believer worships ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) by being well mannered and dealing pleasantly with all, not to attain status or wealth, or for people’s praise, or to get married, etc., but only so that ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) may love him and make him beloved to HIS creation.


Whoever considers exercising good manners as worship will deal courteously with everyone, be he rich or poor, an executive or a tea boy, a blood relative, or an in-law. If one day a poor cleaner on the street stretches out his hand for you to shake, and then another day a director of some company stretches out his hand, will you treat them in the same way. Will your clasp be equally firm, and will you smile at them equally?


The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) would certainly have treated them both equally in terms of welcoming them and showering on them sincere conduct and compassion.


Alhamdulillah for blessing us with the best of human example in our beloved Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. May ALLAH keep guiding us and increase us in knowledge of the deen and when our time comes grant us success of Shahaada. 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...
