 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.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Saturday, 10th February 2024). SOME PROPHETIC TEACHINGS BEFORE GOING TO BED. Bismillah. Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
