 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 1st day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1445AH (Friday 7th June 2024).

THE 10 DAYS OF GOLDEN BENEFITS. BismilLaah.


AlhamdulilLah today is 1st day of Dhul Hijjah. We pray that ALLAH grant us the opportunity to be part of these great 10 days ahead.

Praise be to ALLAH Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards HIS slaves. This encourages us to do more righteous deeds and make us more eager to worship HIM, so that we renew our efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare ourselves for death and offer ourselves in readiness for the Day of Judgement.


We Muslim must understand the value of our lives, increase our worship of ALLAH and persist in doing good deeds until the moment of death. ALLAH says:

"And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty." [al-Hijr 15:99] The mufassireen (commentators) said: "‘The certainty’ means death."


Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, which ALLAH has preferred over all the other days of the year. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may ALLAH be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to ALLAH than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of ALLAH?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of ALLAH, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457).  We should strive to fast as many as we can but not only the fasting but our complete ways of life must change and activate Ramadhan mood in these blessed days. 


We MUST avoid any unnecessary arguments in regards to fasting in these blessed days due to debates on fasting on Saturdays or not. It's not haraam to fast but also not sunnah to fast on Saturdays even if it's Arafah day as the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam prohibited it strictly by adding that even if you have no food to eat on Saturday chew the of a tree to avoid fasting except in Ramadhan. 

Prohibition supercede permissible acts in Shariah so let's take note. ALLAH knows best. 

Also remember today is Friday as such we should strive to undertake all the Friday etiquettes. May ALLAH answer our dua and keep guiding us all. 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...
