 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. 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. Yaumul Jumuat and Yaumul Aashuura. 10th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Friday, 28th July, 2023). SPECIAL EID DAY FOR US ALL. 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. Today mark the day ALLAH humiliated HIS worse enemy on earth Fir'awn for his disbelief in ALLAH and claiming he was ALLAH. 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. You can recite lots of azkaar and give sadaqah with your intention to seek forgiveness from ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday lets strive to go to Masjid early and also remember to send salutations to our...
