 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. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN continues. BismilLah.  ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course. Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out: To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER. To obey and serve ONLY HIM. To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward. Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says; Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, ...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
