 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-sabt, 15th day of Swafar 1447AH, Saturday, 9th August 2025.

WISDOM and SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND OUR SALAAT (Prayers). BismilLah.


Some Muslim brothers and Sisters do ask why ALLAH command us to offer 5x Salaat. Salaat caries no wisdom, purpose, or significance and lacks logical harmony to some. They question why 5 times instead of making our own choice simply to test the loyalty and obedience of a servant to his master. But they fail to know it is simply a servant-master relationship and nothing beyond. If the servant obeys, he is rewarded and if he disobeys, he is then punished. Had there been no wisdom behind these shariah commands, how then it came to be based on human intention and psychology? The intention and motivation with which a person carries out these commands form the very basis of Shari’ah and 

Shari’ah applies this criterion for the acceptance or rejection of a servant’s performance. Imagine you are employed today by a big firm in your community, do you choose what to do or does your employer choose for you what to do? What happens if you fail to do as instructed? If you see that to be logic for your boss to sack you for not doing as instructed, how come ALLAH Azzawajal shouldn't instruct what HE wants?


Salat enables a man to see ALLAH (SWT) in the Hereafter. Our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) says that you will see ALLAH (S.W.T) in the Hereafter as you see the moon without doubting it. 


Salaat is the first and most important command in Shari’ah.  Its wisdom and significance have been mentioned both in the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of Prophet (S.A.W).  One can easily deduce from both sources that Salaat relates to life and affects the life in a big way. The entire world and creations within it are engaged in glorifying ALLAH (SWT) and submitting to HIS commands. We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to keep guiding our eemaan and guide our lazy ignorant brothers and sisters back to the habit of steadfastness of their Salaat. 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...
