 HOW TO MAKE BETTER PROFIT IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT LIFE.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 11th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Wednesday, 3rd September, 2025.

Bismillah.


A person came to the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and said: “O Messenger of ALLAH! Today I have made such a profit that nobody in this valley could have gained as much as I did.”


The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Woe to you! How much is your profit?” The man said: “I kept on selling and buying until I earned 300 Uqiyyah.” Thereupon, the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “I will tell you the most valuable thing that a person can earn to boast about.” The man asked: “What is that, O Messenger of ALLAH?” The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied: “Two Rakaat (of supererogatory prayer) after (an obligatory) prayer.” [Abu Dawud, Kitaab al-Jihad].


Notice that the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) did not celebrate the man’s monetary success. Real profit is the profit of the Hereafter. Whatever wealth we earn in this life we leave behind when we depart from it. Only our deeds go with us, whether it is prayer, Sadaqah in the path of ALLAH, or any other injunction of Islam.


So, the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) instructed the man in how he would be able to make a profit that is really worth talking about. This profitable venture, which is better than 60,000 silver coins a day, is two Rakaat of supererogatory prayer with each obligatory (Fard) prayer.


Imagine if we were to be handed out $100 in cash every day for praying these 12 extra Rakaat which our beloved messenger of ALLAH has even promised us a house in Jannat for those who pray it consistently, how many of us would not be able to find the time or energy to do it with such cash offer? But with all promises from ALLAH and HIS Messenger, we still find it difficult to offer the 12 sunnah salaat a day. Sad reality isn't it?. May ALLAH Azzawajal aid us in our effort to act only for HIS sake so that we can earn HIS Rahmah for Jannatul Firdaus. 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...
