 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 17th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Monday, 29th January 2024).

HOW TO DO BUSINESS, THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam recommendations continues. BismilLah. 


It was narrated that Qays ibn Abu Gharazah (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) used to say: “O merchants, selling involves idle talk and oaths, so mix it with Sadaqah (charity).” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, 1208; Abu Dawood, 3326; An-Nasa’i, 3797; Ibn Majah, 2145; classed as authentic by Al-Albani in Sahih Abu Dawood). This clearly means giving sadaqah can cause lots of blessings to the business and remove the sins of the idle talk within business transactions. 


The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) used to enjoin people to be tolerant and easy-going in buying and selling . 

It was narrated from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “May Allah have mercy upon a man who is easy-going when he sells and when he buys and when he asks for payment.” (Al-Bukhari, 1970) 


Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

“In this Hadith it is encouraged to be easy-going in transactions, to have the most sublime of attitudes, and to avoid miserliness, and it is encouraged to avoid putting pressure on people when asking for payment, and to take from them what they can afford.” (Fath Al-Bari, 4/307) 


The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) used to enjoin people to give more time for a debtor who is in financial difficulty or to waive the debt. 


It was narrated that Abu Al-Yasar (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Whoever waits for one who is in (financial) difficulty (to pay a debt) or waives it for him, ALLAH will shade him in HIS shade.” (Narrated by Muslim, 3006) 


The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) forbade transactions involving Riba (usury) , transactions involving ambiguity, ‘Einah transaction [which involve selling something for a price to be paid at a later date, then buying it back from the same person who bought it for a lower price to be paid immediately], dealing in prohibited things, and cheating and deception. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. 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...

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.

Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
