 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 26th day of Swafar, 1446AH (Friday, 30th August 2024).

THE PURE/SPIRITUAL  ISLAMIC BATH BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah, for guiding and blessing us to be part of this blessed day of the week. Let's remind each other about how to prepare ourselves spiritually before going to the masjid. This is the summary of how the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to perform the ghusul base on various authentic narrations: First, intend by heart to perform ghusul Wash your private parts properly so that you don't need to touch them during the ghusul. Start your ghusul in the name of the creator by saying (Bismillah) silently but audible to your hearing. Perform wudhu as normal for salaat. Pour water over the head with a minimum of 3 both hands full of water or with a shower, massaging the hair to allow the water to reach its roots. Pour water liberally over the entire body, starting with the right side of your body towards the left, ensuring that no parts of the body is left untouched by water, including armpits, inside the earlobes, inside the navel, between fingers and toes etc. making sure they are properly washed by rubbing with your hands, not just pouring water. This is the same for sisters after menses and post Natal bleeding, after sexual contact with your partner, etc. You can take a normal bath with soap before this spiritual way. 


After completing the ghusl a person should recite the supplication for concluding the ghusl, which should be recited outside the bathroom if the bathroom is combined with toilet and shouldn't be loud but audible meaning you can hear yourself, the same supplication recited after completing wudhu which is  'Ash-hadu 'an laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa 'ash-hadu 'anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuuluhu. Allaahummaj'alnee minat-tawwaabeena waj'alnee minal-mutatahhireen. 


We ask ALLAH to accept our little efforts and answer our dua on this blessed day. 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...
