 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.

 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...
