 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 26th day of Jumaadal Uulaa, 1446AH (Thursday, 28th November 2024).

WHO IS ALLAH? LET'S CLEAR SOME MISCONCEPTIONS. BismilLah.


Some non Muslims are happily broadcasting that Muslims worship Moon god, claiming that ALLAH (The Most MERCIFUL) is a god or idol in Saudi Arabia Astaghfirullah Let's clear this misconception. 


Quran proves such claims wrong, "ALLAH" is NOT a 'moon god' as ALLAH (The Greatest) says in the Quran;

"And from among My Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to ME "ALLAH" Who created all those signs, if you (really) worship ME." [Noble Quran 41:37]. ALLAH is the Almighty God who is the CREATOR of all that exists. Believe it or not, that's your cup of tea. Funny enough, open any Arabic Bible, the same ALLAH was used for GOD, so does the Arab Christians worship god or idol when they mention ALLAH in their BIBLE? Hypocrisy, isn't it?


What is the significance of the crescent moon in Islam? ALLAH (The Most Perfect) says; "They ask you about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage." [Noble Quran 2:189]. Note that the crescent is not a symbol of Islam. It's one of the CREATION of ALLAH (The King) for mankind. Some Muslims used it on their mosque just to help visitors identify that this is a mosque. The crescent is not part of our acts of worship in any way aside, aiding us to identify the beginning of each Islamic month, etc. 


Some ask, Why does Islam follow a lunar calendar? I say, in both the Bible and the Quran, religious festivals are regulated by the lunar calendar. Jews and Muslims have kept to these regulations, which we believe to be from God, ALLAH. Why do others follow a solar calendar? They can't answer that because they prefer to follow their heart desires due to jealousy and hypocrisy. The crescent used on mosques is to only help visitors to identify this is a masjid as people of the olden days were struggling to locate mosque when they visit any city or town as such they adopted the crescent to differentiate the Mosque from normal buildings or non Islam religious buildings. This is just an introduction to the topic. In shaa ALLAH from tomorrow, I will start exploring the Holy Quran so that we can all take the journey of knowing who ALLAH IS. 


May ALLAH (The Maintainer of Life) keeps guiding us all and keeps guiding the misguided into Islam. 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...
