 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 10th day of Sha’abaan, 1445AH (Tuesday, 20th February 2024). THE CORRECT AND COMPREHENSIVE MEANING OF ISLAAM. BismilLah. 


Unfortunately, when you ask most Muslims the meaning of Islaam; some often quote a simple response to mean PEACE. No, please, the meaning of Islam is not just PEACE. In actual fact, the short meaning of Islaam is SUBMISSION, and these two meanings are mutilated definition of Islaam. The comprehensive definition of Islaam is THE PEACE WE ACQUIRE WHEN WE SUBMIT TO THE WILL OR COMMANDS OF THE CREATOR, ALLAH. This means we can not submit to our tradition, culture, our own desires, our jobs, relationships, or to anything but to ALLAH'S commands.


Those who submit and surrender to ALLAH’S commands are called MUSLIMS that's why ALLAH referred to all Past Prophets and Messengers such as Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Joseph,  Jesus peace be upon them all as Muslims in the Quran because they all submitted to the commands of ALLAH. That's why Jesus Christ said in John 6:38, I came to do what ALLAH commanded me to do and that makes him a Muslim by submitting to the commands of ALLAH to do whatever he did including all his miracles none were by his authority but by the power and permission of his CREATOR, ALLAH. Meaning, Islam is a complete way of life. How to worship, how to sleep, eat, relate to others, etc Must be from the teachings of ALLAH and HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. 

Please remember my dad in your prayers, he is unconscious since yesterday being hospitalised. May ALLAH grant him and all sick and ill muslims good health and good recovery. 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...
