 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 3rd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Friday, 6th September 2024). HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH). BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah for blessing  us to be part of this blessed day of the week. 

The simplest definition of the word ‘motivation’ is ‘that which drives us to action’. As human beings, we are drawn to questions such as, “What’s the point of this?” or “Why am I here?” 


ALLAH Almighty has already answered this question for us in the Qur'an saying:

".... I have not created the jinn and the humankind except that they should serve Me. (Qur'an 51:56). Once the purpose of life has been established in our minds, what motivates us to fulfill that purpose?

In The Quran:

"ALLAH swears by time towards our death that; indeed, mankind is in loss; except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience (Qur'an 103). "Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer, *_I will surely cause him/her to live a good life, and I will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do_*. (Qur'an 16:97). Allahu Akbar. Is there anything better than this promise to motivate us?


The hope for reward pushes us to obtain the best possible life in the hereafter by using the currency that we have been provided with; i.e. time. A true believer is motivated by the desire for internal satisfaction while also keeping the focus on the ultimate goal, which is to earn ALLAH’s pleasure for HIS Paradise. 


May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our final abode. 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...

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...
