 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 2nd day of Dhul-Hijjah 1446AH, Thursday, 29th May 2025.

SOME GOLDEN ACTS ON THESE BLESSED DAYS BEFORE EID. BismilLah. 


The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah hold great religious significance. It is a special period in the annual Islamic (Hijri) calendar. A time when we Muslims are advised to increase our acts of goodness and spirituality to reap the rewards of the most blessed days. 


Aside from fasting as much as we can within the 8 days left before Eid, we must also strive to do the following;


INCREASING DAILY PRAYERS (SALAH)

On these blessed days, take this time to perfect and increase the daily practice of Salah. If you haven’t been praying the five fardh (obligatory) prayers – Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha on time, now is the time to start. Try to pray together with your friends and family, as there are more rewards for praying together. “Salat in congregation is twenty-seven times more meritorious than a Salat performed individually.”

If you’ve already been praying the fardh prayers, take this opportunity to start praying the sunnah and nafl (voluntary) prayers. You can also start building the habit of praying tahajjud (night prayer done in the last third portion of the night prayers).


Reciting the Quran is one of the best forms of worship. 

Try to recite the Quran as often in these blessed 10 days. 


Making Dhikr is a powerful act of worship and one you can do virtually any time. There are many types of Dhikr you can make to help put your mind at ease and bring you closer to ALLAH (SWT). 


One of the best ways to earn rewards is through Sadaqah (voluntary charity). The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Sadaqah (charity) extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire.”


It’s part of our human nature to be forgetful and make mistakes. ALLAH (SWT) understands this, so HE says in Surah Al-Baqarah,

“And seek ALLAH’s forgiveness. Surely ALLAH is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Quran 2:199. Let's make lots of istighfar, including by saying “Astaghfirullah” (meaning “I seek forgiveness of ALLAH”). May ALLAH forgive us for our sins and guide us to the right path. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. 


May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding us all and accept our acts of worship in these blessed days.  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...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Wednesday 20th January 2021). Who are Believers. BismilLah.  Lets check in  Suurah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers). ALLAH says; 1. Successful indeed are the believers.  2. Those who offer their Salaat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden).  4. Those who pay the Zakat . 5. Those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; etc ALLAH, the Most High, says “…for verily ALLAH is with those who believe.”[Al Qur’an 8:19] When ALLAH says that “HE is with the believers”, it means that the believers don’t need anyone else. Rasullulah(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said “Be mindful of ALLAH, and ALLAH will protect you. Be m...
