 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 22nd day of Rajab 1446AH, Wednesday. 22nd Jan. 2025). 

IMPORTANCE OF BASMALAH (saying: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem OR BismilLah). BismilLah.


There are many narrations that emphasize the importance of basmala. Some of them are as follows: our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (Azzawajal), peace and blessings be upon him, said: “I have been revealed such a verse that has been revealed to no one but Prophet Solomon(Suleiman) alaihi salaam, the son of David and myself. This is ‘ Bismi’llahir-Rahmani’r-Rahim. Allahu Akbar. 


As reported, the Prophet said, “Any action that is not started with Bismi’llahir-Rahmani’r-Rahim has no divine gift in it, it will not last long and it is without foundation 


In another narration, the Prophet said: “Satan would certainly regard any meal that is not started with Bismi’llah as his own.” Meaning satan will be eating the food with you spiritually making the food without any without any divine blessings. 


The fact that the basmala is repeated at the beginning of every chapter and in various hadiths indicates the importance of this phrase. It is regarded as a summary of the Qur’an. ALLAH Azzawajal has revealed universal realities through various Prophets since humankind first came to the earth. These realities are also included in the Qur’an, which is the last Divine Book. The Qur’an is summarized in Suura al-Faatiha, while the chapter is summarized in the phrase Bismi’llah. Hence, the basmala can be regarded to be a spiritual connection between all Prophets and Books. Alhamdulillah. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen

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.

 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...
