 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 7th day of Dhul-Hijjah 1446AH, Tuesday, 3rd June, 2025.

 WHY YOU MUST NOT MISS FASTING ON ARAFAH DAY ON THURSDAY. BismilLah. 


ALHAMDULILLAH, This year Arafaah Day falls on one of the best days to fast so that's a special day never to miss fasting because of the following, 


1. It is the day on which the religion was perfected, ALLAH’S Favour was completed and the previous religious way of life (Ahlul Kitaab, Christianity & Jewism) was abrogated.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” [Quran 5:3]. Imam ‘Umar(RA) said, “We know on which day and in which place that was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him). It was when he was standing on ‘Arafaah on a Friday.”  ALLAHU AKBAR. 


2. It is a day of Eid for the people who are performing Hajj.  The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Yawm ‘Arafaah (the day of ‘Arafaah), Yawm al-Nahr (the Day of Sacrifice) and Ayyaam al-Tashreeq (the 3 days following Yawm al-Nahr) are Eid (festival) for us, the people of Islam.  


3. Fasting on this day is an expiation for two years.  It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may ALLAAH be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALLAH  (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafat. He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” Narrated by Imam Muslim.  


4.  It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom from the Fire and pride in the people who are in hell.


We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to grant us the chance to witness this great day and fast only for HIS sake to grant us our heart desires that can only help our eeman. 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...
