 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-sabt, 16th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Saturday. 15th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN. BismilLah. 


We've been hearing the word DEEN many times in our Islamic studies, but do we truly know the complete meaning of these great word? Spare me some minutes to appreciate the greatness of our LORD OF THE UNIVERSE, ALLAH Azzawajal. 


Actually, the word ‘deen’ has several meanings. Arabic is a rich language to the extent that no single English word or phrase can do justice to one Arabic name or term. The first type of meaning is SOVEREIGNTY, POWER, LORDSHIP, KINGSHIP, or RULERSHIP. The second type is the opposite of this, i.e., SUBMISSION, OBEDIENCE, SERVICE, or SLAVERY. The third type is to bring to account, to judge, or to dispense reward and punishment for actions. All those three uses are found in the Qur’an.


ALLAH Azzawajal says:

The only (true) Deen in the sight of ALLAH is (man’s) self-surrender (to HIM). (Aal `Imran 3:19). 

Here, deen is that way of life in which we recognize ALLAH Azzawajal alone as the possessor of all POWER and MAJESTY and SURRENDER ourselves to HIM We must not surrender or submit any way of worship like the way others do Issah alaihi salaam but only to ALLAH Azzawajal. We must regard only ALLAH as MASTER, LORD, and SOVEREIGN, and must not be slaves or servants to anybody by our wish but HIM only. We must accept only ALLAH as the Lord of reward and punishment. We should covet no reward, fear no punishment, except HIS. ISLAM is the name of this deen. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH Azzawajal. May ALLAH Azzawajal keeps guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. 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...
