 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 6th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 31st July 2025.

THE RATIONAL AND BENEFITS OF SALAT (Islamic Prayers). BismilLah. 


Before we jump into the topic, let me mention what our scholars have said about the beauty of Islam. 

Islam, which means complete and peaceful submission to the Will of ALLAH (God) and obedience to HIS Law, is the perfect religion and the complete way of life for all mankind. One of the very significant Aayat (Qur'anic verses) that ALLAH finally revealed to Prophet Muhammad(may the peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him), clearly states that Islam is perfect. ALLAH, the (only) God in heaven and on earth (43:84) and our Creator (2:21), says in the Glorious Qur'an:

"...This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion..." (5:3). Allahu Akbar. 


Islam provides us with complete guidance for every aspect of our lives. It solves all sorts of problems facing humanity now and in the future, be it physical, material or economic, socio-cultural, political, legal, religious and spiritual, and the like. Everything it enjoins us to do is for our benefit. An example of this is the performance of Salat (Islamic prayers), particularly the five compulsory daily prayers. ALLAH Azzawajal commands us to perform Salat (2:110; 4:103; 20:14) for our benefit and not because HE needs it as HE is free of any need. HE does not depend on anyone. ALLAH alone possesses all power. HE is the All-Knowing, the Powerful (42:50), the Almighty, the Wise (59:24). When HE desires a thing HE only says 'Be' and it is (36:82). In other words, nothing is impossible to Him. HE is the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds (1:2). All creatures depend on HIM (11:6). To HIM belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. HE creates what HE wills (42:49). HE enlarges and restricts provisions to whom HE wills (49:12). True prayer is due to HIM Alone (13:14). We have to worship ALLAH Azzawajal Alone (6:102, 103; 11:1-2) because HE commands us to worship HIM. ALLAH Azzawajal says:


"That is ALLAH your Rabb(Lord)! There is NONE but HE, the Creator of all things; then you worship HIM: and HE has the power to dispose of all affairs. No vision can grasp HIM, but HIS Grasp is over all vision; HE is Subtle, Well-Aware." (6:102-103). Allahu Akbar. Isn't this beautiful and peace of mind way of worshiping such a powerful power and avoid the confusions of other ways of worship? May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. 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. Yawmul ahad, 17th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Sunday. 16th Feb. 2025). THE TRUE MEANINGS OF THE WORD DEEN continues. BismilLah.  ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The MIGHTY and the MAJESTIC) has sent HIS Messenger with the true deen for the purpose of ending the sovereignty of all false gods and granting us immense freedom so that we live as servants of none but the LORD of the UNIVERSE, no matter how much the idolaters and polytheists may dislike or oppose such a course. Thus, these three meanings of deen stand out: To acknowledge ALLAH as the ONLY LORD, MASTER and RULER. To obey and serve ONLY HIM. To be accountable to HIM, to fear only HIS punishment and to covet only HIS reward. Deen also includes obedience to ALLAH'S Messengers. The commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal have been given to human beings through HIS books and HIS Messengers. ALLAH Azzawajal says; Children of Aadam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, who convey MY revelations unto you, ...

  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...
