 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 7th day of Swafar 1447AH, Friday, 1st August 2025.

THE VIRTUES OF THIS BLESSED DAY. BismilLah.  


ALHAMDULILLAH for granting us another blessed day of the week. We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to keep guiding and aiding us to act only for HIS pleasure. Aameen. 


The virtues of this day include the following: 

On it is Salaat al-Jumu’ah (Friday prayer), which is the best among the prayers each day. 


ALLAH Azzawajal says in the QUR'AN: 

“O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salaah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu‘ah prayer), come to the remembrance of ALLAAH (Jumu‘ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salaah (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know!”[al-Jumu’ah 62:9]. This verse has clarified to us that we must stop all kinds of activities on Friday to attend to khutbah sermon. 


Imam Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers and from one Jumu’ah to the next is an expiation for whatever sins come in between them, so long as one does not commit a major sin.” 


Let's note that WHOMEVER dies during the day or night of Friday, ALLAH Azzawajal will protect him from the trial of the grave. 

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr said: The Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim who dies during the day of Friday or the night of Friday but ALLAH will protect him from the trial of the grave.”Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1074; classed as saheeh by Sheikh al-Albaani in Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz, p. 49, 50. It's a favour from ALLAH for those ALLAH chooses to die on Friday, not by our choice because if you kill yourself even on Friday you will enter hellfire for killing yourself says the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. 


As the Prophet recommended, we should try to recite Suuratul Kahf, take ghusul, cut our nails, clean our teeth with miswak, men should put on perfume and dress similarly to how we dress for Eid. We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to help us in our little efforts to please HIM. 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...
