 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 9th day of Jumaad-athaani 1446AH, Tuesday. 10th Dec. 2024). WILL I BE PUNISHED FOR NEGLECTING SUNNAH ACT?. BismilLah. 


The word Sunnah has two meanings:

the path of guidance, which is the meaning in many hadith, such as the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him): Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me. This means that if you intentionally choose to abandon sunnah acts of worship, you will be sinful and may end up being deviated to kufur by worldly satanic influences. 


What the scholars of usool and fiqh call mustahabb (encouraged), are deeds for which the one who does them will be rewarded, but the one who does not do them may not be punished for that. Examples include al-Sunan al-Rawaatib (Sunnah prayers, which the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) did regularly), Salaat al-Duhaa and so on.


Therefore, a person will not be punished for not doing things, which are Sunnah in the second sense. With regard to the first definition, this is not the case, for these are divided into things which are obligatory (waajib) and things which are supererogatory (naafil).


Sunnat al-Fajr and al-Witr are Sunnah Mu-akkadah, prayer which the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) never omitted to do, whether he was travelling or not and encouraged us to do. Neglecting these waajib acts even though they are not fard is sinful. But if you are unable to do any sunnah act due to forgetfulness or for any good reason, you are not sinful. ALLAH knows best. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protecting us from any satanic influences. 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...
