 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 28th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1445AH (Wednesday 5th June 2024). OFFERING OUR SALAAT ONTIME. BismilLah. 


We all know there are five pillars of Islam; Salah is one and most important Pillar of Islam after Shahaadah. When someone prays he is known to be Muslim because he is worshipping ALLAH Almighty who is his creator and the Lord of everything in this world and Hereafter too and whoever chooses not to offer their 5 daily salaat has nullified his or her claim to be Muslim. Salah is an Arabic word and its basic meaning is to worship or praying. It’s obligatory on every Muslim to pray five times in a day and Most importantly ON TIME. In the Holy Quran, ALLAH Almighty says: “Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers… If you fear (salaat time elapsing), pray on foot, or riding. ”(Quran 2:238-9). Search for the commentary of this verse to understand the importance of praying on time. 


Salah has many benefits one of them is that it’s the way of communication with ALLAH Almighty and also it restrains one from doing evil deeds. Purpose of Salah is to bring ourselves in touch with ALLAH Almighty; to intensify our relationship with HIM; to be grateful for all HIS blessings, and to remind ourselves of HIS Greatness. Just as the body requires physical needs such as food and water, the soul has spiritual needs and our spiritual need is to pray Salah on time.


ALLAH the Most High says in Holy Quran about Salah: “But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness.” (Quran, 19: 59-60). From this verse, we came to know that by missing prayer does not mean that someone is not praying at all it means not praying on its due time. In shaa ALLAH I will share with you in tomorrow's reminder proof from the Quran and Sunnah that praying ontime is the most important part of the salaat not just about praying whenever we wish. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and aid us to offer our salaat ontime. 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...
