 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Tuesday, 22nd August, 2023).

TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY. Bismillah.


Let's continue from the reminder yesterday. There are so many important Tafsir Books But let's concentrate on the Tafseer by Imam Ibn Kathir May ALLAH be pleased with him. Aameen.  Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. 

 ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ 

Meaning, ALLAH! There is none worthy of our worship but HE (There is no other so called god but ALLAH), the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) explains :

(There is no god but ALLAH): It is a statement that HE (ALLAH) is the “ONE AND ONLY” Lord of all creations. (The Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal) means: HE (ALLAH) is self-existing (i.e. nothing created HIM) and that HE is ever living who can never die. Qayyum is that (attribute) of ALLAH through which others exist. HE is richest of all and nothing can exist without HIS order and WILL. 

 لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ 

Meaning No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep.

The Imam explains (No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep) means: ALLAH could never be negligent, unaware, nor can HE err in regards to HIS creation. Rather HE is completely controlling by being aware of what every soul earns. HIS comprehension upon everything is perfect and nothing can be hidden from HIS knowledge and there could be no secret kept from HIM….

Ibn Abbas (ra) narrates: Once Bani Israel questioned Musa (a.s) whether his Lord ever sleeps? Musa (a.s) replied: FEAR HIM! What kind of question is that? ALLAH called Musa (a.s) and said: Hold 2 bottles in your hands and keep on standing whole night. HE followed ALLAH’s order and did exactly that, but when half of the night went passed he started to slumber and bowed down on his knees, but then he quickly awoke, however in the last part of night he had a deep slumber and both bottles fell from his hands and “GOT BROKEN” Then ALLAH azza Wajjal said: O Musa! If I sleep then the heavens and the worlds would break into pieces just like these bottles. ALLAHU AKBAR. So ALLAH revealed this ayah to his Prophet (Muhammad - Peace be upon him).

 لَّهُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَـٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلأَرْضِ 

Meaning. HIS are all things in the heavens and on earth. Imam Ibn Katheer (rah) explains:

All the servants (including heavens and the worlds) come under HIS “DOMINION” they also come under HIS “POWER AND SULTANATE” just like ALLAH said: Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (ALLAH) Most Gracious as a servant. HE does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to HIM singly on the Day of Judgment.[Quran 19:93-95]. Allahu Akbar. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. May ALLAH grant us wisdom of the Quran. 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...
