 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 23rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Friday, 5th January 2024). FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON). BismilLah.


Islam teaches us that ALLAH is the most forgiving,  and will go on forgiving, repeatedly as long as we seek forgiveness sincerely. Part of being human is making mistakes. Sometimes, the mistakes are made without deliberation or a bad intention, but sometimes we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others. Therefore, as human beings, we are constantly in need of forgiveness.


The life of this world is full of trials and tribulations,  however ALLAH did not abandon humankind to these tests and trials. ALLAH equipped humankind with an intellect and the ability to make choices and decisions. ALLAH also gave us words of guidance.  As our CREATOR, HE is well aware of our nature and eager to guide us on the straight path that leads to eternal bliss.


The Quran is ALLAH’s final revelation, and it is applicable for all of humankind; all people, all places, all times.  Throughout the Quran ALLAH, The Most MERCIFUL continually asks us to turn to HIM in repentance and ask for HIS forgiveness.  This is the road to salvation.  This is our rescue from destruction.

ALLAH says;

“And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks God's forgiveness, he will find God Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran 4:10).

Again, ALLAH commanded the Prophet  to say to mankind;

“O my people!  Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to HIM, HE will send you (from the sky) abundant rain, and add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of God.” (Quran 11:52).


Again, The Maintainer of Life (Al-qayyuum) commanded the prophet to deliver this beautiful message to us in the Quran;

“Say: ‘O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)!  Despair not of the MERCY of ALLAH your LORD, indeed ALLAH forgives ALL SINS. Truly, HE is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 39:53). ALLAHU AKBAR. AlhamdulilLah. 


May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from deviation. 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...
