PURIFICATIONS OF OUR HEARTS.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 24th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Thursday, 16th October, 2025.

 BismilLah.

One of the most beautiful, most soothing, and most heartwarming moments we could have is when we realise how much ALLAH, The Most High, is protecting and taking care of our own heart by telling us what we should do to make us happy and enjoy peace of mind. 

This is so much felt in Qur’anic verses where ALLAH (Al-Muqeet, The Nourisher) is telling us how HE wants us to speak to one another…Like here for an example:

” ... And speak to people good [words] …” (Qur’an 2: 83). The Arabic Aayah actually refers to good words as “husna” which also means beautiful. So ALLAH Azzawajal is instructing us to use not only good but beautiful words with people.

ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Holy Quran;

“And tell My servants to say that which is best…” ( Qur’an 17: 53). 

Here, HE is making us carefully think about each word we utter so that we do not just speak our minds in a careless/rude way, claiming that this is our spontaneous reaction. Rather, HE is teaching us to say what’s better than our initial thought. Meaning, if you wanted to tell someone, “you’re not making any sense”, instead you’ll say, “thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me. Could you help me understand this part a bit better as maybe I failed to comprehend it well..?” This is what’s best! It is when you think twice before uttering words that could hurt, offend, disrespect, mock, or ridicule someone without you knowing or caring. We all fall short of this in our daily lives with our family and friends but it's never too late to change our ways starting from now. We must also avoid acting in any way to provoke anyone, causing them to act wrongly. 

May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

Let's continue with our reminder from last Thursday. As Muslims, it's important to discipline ourselves. This is how we become more dignified human beings, and we dignify others. It is the exact opposite of the animalistic nature. An animal will not think twice before barking at you or biting you. For example, they’ll just follow their first instinct. But we are more elevated than that. We have the intellect and ability to tame our emotions and our reactions for the sake of our inner peace and for the sake of spreading peace to others.

This is what ALLAH (Al-Jaleel, The Majestic) is teaching us, and this is a highly crucial matter for the light of our hearts.

ALLAH Almighty says:

“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 49: 11). 

Today, we hear and witness Muslims fighting each other for the sake of other human beings they love Astaqfirullah. Remember carefully what the Messenger of ALLAH said about two Muslims fighting, both will enter the hell fire if they die fighting each other. 

May ALLAH (Al-Wadud, The Loving, The Kind One) keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
