 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 18th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Monday. 17th Feb. 2025).

A VIRTUE CALLED PATIENCE. BismilLah.


Can our impatience about things we can not change, change anything? To be patient and let things run their course as they should is one of the secrets of happiness and contentment.


Patience is one of the most important qualities demanded of those who claim to love ALLAH Azzawajal, as the degree of patience determines those who are sincere in their claim and those who are not. The degree of patience needed to endure hardship and difficulties in order to please the Beloved proves the sincerity of one’s love. Many claim to love ALLAH Azzawajal, but when ALLAH tests them with hardship, they forget the true essence of love. No one can adhere to the love of ALLAH Azzawajal except those who are patient and persevering. If it were not for the test of hardship and sincerity, there would be no proof of the sincerity of a person’s love for ALLAH Azzawajal. 


The one whose love of ALLAH is greater has a greater degree of patience. Therefore, ALLAH Azzawajal has attributed the quality of patience to HIS close friends (awliya) and most beloved. HE Azzawajal says about HIS beloved slave Ayyub (AS): “... Truly, ALLAH found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in ALLAH'S service! Ever did he turn to ALLAH!” (Quran 38: 44). ALLAH Azzawajal instructed the most beloved to HIM of everything HE created to have patience in accepting HIS decree and told him that patience comes only by the help of ALLAH HE praised those who have patience and promised them the best of rewards: the rewards of others are defined and limited, but the reward of as-sabirun is without measure. Patience is vital at all levels of Islam, eemaan, and ihsaan, as well as being a major element in eemaan (faith) and tawakkul (putting one’s trust in ALLAH). Patience for the sake of ALLAH, by the help of ALLAH Azzawajal, and in accepting the decree of ALLAH Azzawajal. So, let's strive to please ALLAH Azzawajal by learning to say Alhamdulillah regardless of any situation we find ourselves. Always remember that ALLAH Azzawajal says nothing can harm us or benefit us without HIS permission.

May ALLAH Azzawajal increase us in Patience. 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. 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...

BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah to you all. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day. Today mark the day when ALLAH granted Musah alayhi salaam victory over Fir'awn.

We are all fasting on this blessed day seeking forgiveness from ALLAH for our sins from last year till date as the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended.  Those who are unable to fast can still do much to earn lots of rewards especially our sisters and daughters in their monthly cycle.
