 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 16th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Tuesday, 31st October, 2023). THE REALITIES OF DREAMS BismilLah.  Sheikh Muhammed Saalih Al-Munaajjid mentioned in one of his articles that; Towards the end of time, hardly any dreams will be untrue, The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, his family and companions) said. “That will be because the Prophethood and its effects will be so far away in time, so the believers will be given some compensation in the form of dreams which will bring them some good news or will help them to be patient and steadfast in their faith.” (al-Bukhaari, 6499; Muslim, 4200). Dreams are of three types: Rahmaani (Inspiration from ALLAH), nafsaani (psychological, they come from within a person) and shaytaani (those that come from the Shaytaan). The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: a dream from ALLAH, a dream which causes distress and which comes ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-ithnayn. 15th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Monday, 30th October, 2023). JUDGEMENT OF ALLAH. Bismillaah Let's be careful how we deal with others as we will be accountable for all on judgement day.  Imam Bukhari narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever wronged his brother with regard to his honour or any other matter, should seek his forgiveness today, before there are no longer any dinars, or dirhams; and if he has any righteous deeds, they will be taken from him, in accordance with the wrong he did; and if he has no hasanaat(good deeds), some of the sayi`aat(bad deeds) of his counterpart will be taken and added to his burden.” [Bukhari: Kitaab al-Mazaalim, Baab man kaanat lahu mazlamah `inda rajul, Fath al-Baari, 5/101].  This person whose hasanaat are taken from him by the people, and then has their sayi`aat placed on his own back, is the one who is bankrupt, a...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 14th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Sunday, 29th October, 2023). SHADE OF ALLAH. BismilLah. Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There are seven persons whom ALLAH will shade on a Day when there is no shade but HIS: a just ruler; a young person who grew up in the worship of ALLAH; a person whose heart is attached to the masjid; two persons who love each other, meet and depart from each other for the sake of ALLAH; a man whom a beautiful woman of high status seduces, but he rejects by saying, I fear ALLAH; a person who spends in charity and conceals it such that his right hand does not know what his left hand has given; and a person who remembered ALLAH in private and he wept. Sahih Bukhari 629, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi. Let's do a reality check on ourselves to find out where we fit in the above qualities and strive to belong to as many of the above as possible...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 13th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Saturday, 28th October, 2023). HAYYA ALAL FALAAH. BismilLah.  ALLAH the Most High says: “ Whoever is spared the torment of that Day will have certainly been show ALLAH’s Mercy. And that is the absolute success.” (Quran, 7:16) Success is something that all people seek after. But the success most people are after is one that pertains to gain something from this world. In this verse ALLAH shows us the real success. The real success we must seek after and strive to achieve. This success is to be saved from the punishment of ALLAH in the Hereafter. Because the one who is saved from it will be given the good tidings of entrance in the eternal abode of Paradise. That’s the real success we must ask ALLAH a lot through our salaat as Salaat is the key through which ALLAH grant HIS MERCY thats why HE commanded us to call all towards success "Hayyu Alas Salaat (RUSH TO OFFER YOUR SALAAT), Hayya Alal Falaah ...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 11th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Thursday, 26th October, 2023). SOME MUSLIMS AND DISBELIEVERS ask "WHY ALLAH DOES PERMIT EVIL, HATRED and INJUSTICE ON EARTH?. BismilLah. Let's conclude on our topic above; As regards oppression, this is something ALLAH forbids for HIMSELF to do to anyone and HE hates it when anyone oppresses someone else. He does have absolute power over everything. He allows sickness, disease, death and even oppression so we can all be tested in what we do.  ALLAH and HIS Messenger has warned that we must avoid any form of oppression. All we see today are all disobedience to ALLAH not from Islam. The prophet Mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam has warned that if two muslims fight each other and die both will enter the hell fire. This is serious isn't it? Today we allow politics and the kuffar to come between us so that we can hate each other and kill ourselves to their own advantage. Today we will rather ...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 10th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Wednesday, 25th October, 2023). SOME MUSLIMS AND DISBELIEVERS ask "WHY ALLAH DOES PERMIT EVIL, HATRED and INJUSTICE ON EARTH?. BismilLah.    Let's continue from our reminder yesterday; Reward and punishment are definitely a part of the Next Life on a very permanent basis. We go through years of studies right? But within one month of exams if you fail, your many years of studies becomes useless till you resit, resit, to get it right, isn't it? That's someone's idea for you to achieve a certificate to make money that we will die to leave behind so why do we want to enter Paradise cheaply without efforts? Those who suffer in this life and seemly have nothing to show for all their hard works, good deeds and sacrifices and maintaining the faith can look forward to a far greater reward in a place where these things will not be temporary but rather they will be for eternity. Let's ne...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 9th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Tuesday, 24th October, 2023). SOME MUSLIMS AND DISBELIEVERS ask "WHY ALLAH DOES PERMIT EVIL, HATRED and INJUSTICE ON EARTH?. BismilLah.  ALLAH says in the Qur'an that HE is Pure, Loving, and absolutely JUST in every respect. HE says HE is the BEST of JUDGES. HE also tells us the life we are on earth is a test. HE has created everything existing and HE authorises  whatever happens as well unless what we have choice and control of. There is nothing in this existence except what HE has created/ permitted or authorised. ALLAH says A brief enjoyment in this world and then unto HIM will be our return, then ALLAH shall make disbelievers taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve [in ALLAH, belie HIS Messengers, deny and challenge HIS proofs, signs, verses, etc.] [Noble Quran 10:70]. That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds. So whoeve...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YawmulAhad. 7th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Sunday, 22nd October, 2023). ISLAMIC SOLUTION TO RESOLVING CONFLICTS CONTINUES . BismilLah.  Islamic scholars had developed a number of legal structures and institutions, using a variety of techniques to resolve conflicts amicably, and achieve peace based on their Knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah.  Among these are the following: 1. Appointment of a Justice of Peace (Qadi as Sulh) to oversee the processes of mediation, arbitration, and reconciliation to achieve settlement and peace. 2. Parties in conflict have the option of resolving their dispute through a Wasta or third-party mediator who would ensure that all parties were satisfied with the outcome. 3. Other practices could use tahkeem, or using intermediaries to represent the parties. These intermediaries should be able to represent the parties' position as clearly as possible to negotiate on their behalf, and guarantee that the parties re...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YawmulAhad. 7th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Sunday, 22nd October, 2023). ISLAMIC SOLUTION TO RESOLVING CONFLICTS. BismilLah.  The Islamic precepts are meant to maintain peaceful, healthy, meaningful relationships with ALLAH and with all of humanity. This relationship is disrupted by conflicts, whether interpersonal, communal, national or international. Its restoration is essential for the sake of fairness and justice. Peace-building efforts work towards preventing an escalation of conflict and establishing a durable and self-sustaining peace. Peace is intimately tied with justice in its Islamic understanding. You cannot achieve one without the other. Legitimate grievances of the affected party must be addressed, if real and essential peace is to be achieved.  Here are some relevant verses from the Qur'an addressed to the Islamic community: "O You who believe! Stand out firmly for ALLAH, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatr...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 6th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Saturday, 21st October, 2023). BEWARE OF ALLAH’S JUSTICE. BismilLah.  Some Muslims are asking why ALLAH is not helping or doing justice to the kuffar who are humiliating Muslims as HE did during the battle of Badr and also when the kuffar tried to destroy the Ka’bah. Let me remind all of us that,  ALLAH says in Qur'an 13:11, There are guardians over everyone, both before him and behind him, who guard him by ALLAH'S command “Verily, ALLAH will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to ALLAH)” (Quran 13:11). This is an important verse which indicates that ALLAH, may HE be blessed and exalted, in HIS perfect justice and wisdom does not change the condition of the people from good to bad or from bad to good, from ease to hardship or from hardship to ease, unless the...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 5th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Friday, 20th October, 2023). HOW THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam SUCCEEDED in DIFFICULT TIMES continues. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be among those witnessing this blessed day. Let's continue on our topic about. We want to study how the Prophet handled difficult situations. He and his companions did suffered from the kuffar. Even Madinah under his leadership was challenged by war from almost every single tribe in Arabia. He witnessed the killing of seventy of his companions among whom was his dear uncle Hamzah R.A. Moreover, he faced a siege of ten thousand soldiers, an attack on which his whole city, where all the believers lived, was about to be destroyed. Many of the messengers he sent to teach people Islam were killed in cold blood and he grieved for them for months, seventy of them in one incident and twelve in another. Learning from our Messenger (PBUH), Ho...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 4th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Thusday, 19th October, 2023). HOW THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam SUCCEEDED in DIFFICULT TIMES continues. BismilLah.  Let's continue from our topic yesterday. We read the Prophet’s story hundreds of years after it was over. It is a successful story that contains one victory after another with a very positive final outcome. This positive experience masked all the difficult times in his life and we tend to overlook them when reading or relating the story, especially in the absence of deep analysis. The fact of the matter is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went through a lot of challenges and difficult times throughout his whole life. In one year, his uncle and his wife, who both supported him emotionally and physically, died. In the very same year, he was subjected to physical abuse from the people of Makkah. Surah Ad-Duha Consoled the Prophet, It can Relieve Yo...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 3rd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Wednesday, 18th October, 2023). HOW THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam SUCCEEDED in DIFFICULT TIMES. BismilLah.  Difficult times are part of ALLAH’s laws in this universe; they are part of the tests that people go through. They are not necessarily something evil, however. A difficulty we go through, on the contrary, could be a learning experience, a reminder, purification from sins and mistakes, a test of patience and perseverance, or all of these together. We can emerge from difficult times closer to ALLAH, stronger, united, more skilled, and more guided, but only if we know how to live through them and respond to them. There is no one to learn from who better responded to difficult times other than our beloved Prophet, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Not only was he a great man with noble character, he was also guided by revelations from ALLAH ALMIGHTY. Following his foo...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 2nd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Tuesday, 17th October, 2023). WE ARE THE ARCHITECT OF OUR OWN SUFFERING. BismilLah. The sad reality we find ourselves today as humans especially in we Muslims is the fact that we hate each other, we envy each other, we blame each other, we focus on accusing and abusing others. We never focus on ourselves first and try to be good human beings. We all know the many hadith and Qur'an verses on this points I'm raising today. The Prophet sallallahu Alaihi wasallam said no one can claim to be a believer if he does not love for others what he love for himself. This is a well known authentic hadith right? But sadly majority of we Muslim today cannot claim to pass this basic rule of our deen. We hate our own parents and children, we hate our wives and husbands, co-wives hate each other etc. This is a serious issue that require us to sit down, contemplate and let's edit our ways of life as ALLAH s...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 1st day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Monday, 16th October, 2023). MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN THE  QURAN AND SUNNAH. BismilLaah. Brotherhood in Islam is a comprehensive concept that is based upon good character with others, treating others the way we want to be treated, and uniting together upon common values. It has three levels of degree: religion, family, and humanity. Each of these levels has a set of rights and duties that a Muslim must uphold with others. The strongest level of brotherhood is the sense of community, friendship, and common purpose in Islam for the sake of ALLAH. At this level, the believers work together towards fulfilling the goals of the religion and without living out its divine values. Allah says: إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ The believers are but brothers, so make reconciliation between your brothers and fear ALLAH that you may re...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 30th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 15th October, 2023). EFFECTS OF SINS IN OUR LIFE. Bismillah. Lets note that Sin breeds sins until it dominates a person and he cannot escape from it. It gradually strengthens his will to commit sins and weakens his will to repent until there is no will in his heart to repent at all and keeps sinning even openly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) said: “All of my ummah (followers) will go to Jannah except for those who commit sins openly, and that includes cases where ALLAAH conceals a person’s sin, but the following morning he exposes himself and says, ‘O So and so, I did such and such last night, so he shamelessly exposes himself when all night his Lord had concealed his sin.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5949; Muslim, 2744). let's fear ALLAH and stop our open and even secret sins and remember, the grave is waiting for us to display our sins in front of us and our regret cannot ...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 14th October, 2023). KINDNESS IS OBLIGATORY EVEN TO NON MUSLIMS. BismilLah.  ALLAH says: Worship ALLAH and associate nothing with HIM, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. Scholars interpreted the “neighbor farther away” to mean not only proximity, but one who is further away in religion or beliefs. Al-Qurtubi comments on this verse, saying: I say based upon this verse, kind treatment of neighbors is enjoined and is recommended, whether they are Muslim or an unbeliever, and this is the right thing to do. Kind treatment may be in the sense of helping or it may be in the sense of being kind, refraining from harm, and supporting them. Source: Tafseer Al-Qurtubi 4:36 Islam teaches us to beware of hatred, malice, and the intention to harm others. They are spiritual diseases of the heart whose consequences are de...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 28th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Friday, 13th October, 2023). THE POWER OF THE QUR'AN. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for blessing us with this blessed day of the week. Let's strive to recite salaat upon our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Back to our topic. We all know the importance of reciting the Qur’an.  The recitation of the Qur’an is surely full of blessings and a great act of reward. It can be recited for whatever reason one desires, such as seeking blessings, attaining Baraka, and obtaining success in some matter. Qur’an is a source of guidance for the bewildered, remedy for the ailing, healing for the spiritually diseased and a code of life for whole of humanity. ALLAH Most High says: “HE send down in the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe. To the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.” (al-Isra, 82). AND ALLAH says: “O mankind! There has come to you a direction f...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 27th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Thursday, 12th October, 2023). A MUSLIMS WAY OF LIFE. BismilLah. If you accept to be a Muslim and thus having accepted ALLAH as our CREATOR and Muhammad (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) as HIS Messenger, the next and ultimate step is to please our LORD and thus Obtain HIS MERCY and LOVE. The question arises as to how to please our Lord, so that HE will Love us?. Is it by doing what our heart says Or Is it by using our intellect? Or is it by mysticism and meditation Or is it to ask a wise man. Or is it to consult a manual? Etc.  The answer is very clear to an intelligent person. Everything has a manual even a simple system comes with a manual to show the purchaser how to best make use of it and how to look after it? So why should the human being with such a complex physiological and psychological make up not come with a manual? In fact we do come with a manual. Our manual is the Quran and Prophet Muhamma...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 26th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Wednesday, 11th October, 2023). LETS STRIVE TO BE MUSLIMS FULL TIME. Bismillaah. As Muslims, its important to ensure we live our life positively. If your  behaviour or character is negative, you have the power and the choice to do what it takes to alter it. The greatest power we have as human beings is the power of choice. Almighty ALLAH says in Quran [76:3] “HE has shown us the way to be either grateful or ungrateful.” This is simply about choice, either to be thankful and turn towards the way of ALLAH or being ungrateful and turning towards your own heart desires. If your character is flawed, you can change it. You can change your worldly character to Godly character by : • Changing your words and thought patterns; • Making the word of ALLAH your final authority in life; • Doing what is right at all times; • Doing away with friends who have worldly character; • Walking in love and offering oth...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 25th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Tuesday, 10th October, 2023). DUA TO HELP OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN. BismilLah.  We all know the importance of making dua or dzikir in general isn't it?  Remembering ALLAH (dhikr) brings great benefits, such as spiritual well-being, tranquillity and softening of the heart. ALLAH, may HE be exalted, says: “Those who believe (in the Oneness of ALLAH - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of ALLAH, Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH do hearts find rest”[ar-Ra‘d 13:28]. There is this great dua that we must always sincerely be making to help ourselves and our children to be able to offer our salaat without any difficulties in shaa ALLAH.  The Supplication is in Suurah Ibrahim 14:40. And the Supplication is... ( رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَآءِ (٤٠ "Rabbi-jal'nii muqeema swalaati, wa min zurriyyatii, Rabban...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 24th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Monday, 9th October, 2023). DO NOT BE ALONE WITH NON RELATIVE OPPOSITE-GENDA. Bismillah. To be alone with a non-mahram(non relative) opposite genda means offering Shaytaan the licence to operate you in disobeying ALLAH because satan is always the 3rd to make you commit haraam deeds such as zina of the eyes, zina of the hand etc as ALLAHand HIS Messenger warned.  It is not permitted for a man to be alone in a house, room or car with a non-mahram woman, including his brother's wife or a servant except in circumstances beyond the two. Similarly a female patient should not be alone with a doctor, and so on so. Many people are careless about this matter without going to see a doctor with their wife or daughter, whether because they trust themselves which is not right  or for some other reason, with the results that many commit indecent acts or take the steps that lead to them, which in turn result...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 22nd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 7th October, 2023). STUDYING/ RECITING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE QURAN IN OUR DAILY LIFE. BismilLaah. Our beloved Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: Recite the Quran, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for its reciters. Sahih Muslim 804. He, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said also: The Quran and its people who acted upon it will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection, preceded by Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aali Imran. Sahih Muslim 805. That's why we are encouraged to recite these 2 suurahs regularly in the mornings bcs sheitan hate to hear these 2 suurahs in particularly  been recited bcs they are the soldiers of the Quran. ALLAH will turn both like human beings to lead Muslims who acted upon the Quran teachings to the presence of ALLAH to beg for ALLAH to have mercy on us.  May ALLAH keep guiding ...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 21st day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Friday, 6th October, 2023). HOW TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF EEMAAN. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us another blessed day of the week. Today is a mini eid and we must embrace the day with lot's of acts of worship.  To taste the sweetness of eeman, one must study the knowledge of Islam and must be convinced of ALLAH’s existence having a firm belief in HIM as the only Supreme Being and Deity who is worthy of worship. One must put his full trust in ALLAH (SWT) and accept HIM as his Lord and Master (RABB). Thus the statement, I am pleased with ALLAH as my Lord, (Radiitu Bil-Lahi Rabba). The word, radiitu, in the hadith comes from the root (Ra Da Wa), which carries several meanings. It means, to acknowledge, to accept, to confirm, to approve, to be satisfied with, to be content with and to be pleased with, among other meanings. The statement Radiitu Bil-Lahi Rabba, conveys all these meanings a...
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 18th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Tuesday, 3rd October, 2023). WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF AS A MUSLIM. BismilLah.  There is a very strong and beautiful message in the Quran among many is in Suurat Al-Kahf that sometimes we forget to ponder. The message is in this verse: “Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.” (Qur’an 18: 46). Many of us spend majority of our time and attention in this life working on those two aspects: accumulating money and raising children. Almost everything in life revolves around those two things. For many people, the measure of one’s success is his job and how much money he has. If you meet someone that you haven’t met in a long time, you’ll probably get asked “so where are you working now? How is the job?” Or even more bluntly, “How is the pay? :). If you are a woman and you meet a friend or a family me...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 18th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Tuesday, 3rd October, 2023). OUR HALAAL SUSTENANCE IS FROM ALLAAH. BismilLah. Alhamdulillah for granting us another blessed day of the week. Please note that ALLAH is The Bestower of Provision , ALLAH(SWT), the Almighty says:   "Surely ALLAH is the Bestower of provision, Lord of Power, the Almighty".Noble Qur'an (52:58). People, birds, fish, animals, insects and reptiles are all creatures, which need food, air and water. ALLAH has bestowed HIS sustenance on each and every creature on earth and all must work and search for their provision.  ALLAH(SWT), the Most High says:  "And HE set on the earth firm mountains standing above its surface, and HE blessed the earth and measured therein nourishment for all things, in four periods: in accordance with the needs of the seekers". Noble Qur'an (41:10)    People are the seekers of sustenance, for food, water and money, on this e...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 17th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Monday, 2nd October, 2023). REAL SUCCESS LIES IN OUR DAILY ACTS OF WORSHIP. BismilLah.  As Muslims and mankind in general are truly in great need of continual good and the removal of hardships through a strong relationship with our Creator that makes life flow easily, peacefully, and blessedly. SALAAT (Our 5 daily Prayers) guarantees all this to a believer. Along each day’s route, Islam designated five gracious pauses for ALLAH, distributed at specific times throughout the day, during which mankind is directed to meet their Lord, open their hearts, and speak their minds to HIM, starting by praising HIM and acknowledging HIS blessings and guidance followed by requesting HIS blessings and the averting of evils, asking for HIS help and seeking HIS contentment, and shoring up our deficient knowledge with HIS perfect knowledge and their inadequate power with His Supreme Power. If you are addicted to wr...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 16th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 1st October, 2023). AN IMPORTANT CONDITION FOR OUR DUA OR SUPPLICATIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY ALLAH. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah brothers and sisters in Islam. It's very important to note that our efforts to please ALLAH and for ALLAH to accept our prayers, supplications etc is heavily based on some conditions but more importantly ensuring our source of income is halaal. ALLAH says “Verily, ALLAH accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”[Al-Maa’idah 5:27]. from the tafseer or studies of this one verse and many of its kind in the Qur'an, it basically means ALLAH only accept from good source without any excuses.  The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) stated that a response was unlikely for one who eats, drinks and wears haram things. In the hadeeth it says: [The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him)] mentioned the man who undertakes ...
