Let's continue from the first and second reminders. Please request for a copy if you missed any. Hazrat Abi Bakr (ra) relates, ‘Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: ‘The punishment of all sins can be excused by ALLAH, the Forgiver, until the Day of Qiyamah (Judgement day), apart from the disobedience shown to parents. The Punishment of this is received in the Dunya (On Earth) even before the punishment of the Akhirah(hereafter)!’ (Baihaqi, Tafsiri Muzhari). The honourable treating of parents who have attained old age is encouraged more so through the above verse of Quran. There is no defined emphasis on different treatment of parents according to age and time, however in old age more care has to be taken where the parents are more in need of assistance, for example: 1. In old age, the smallest amount of disagree...

SECOND REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad, 25th/26th day of RAMADAAN (Sunday 10th June). OBEDIENCE AND MANNERS in DEALING WITH OURVPARENTS. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first reminder. Please request for a copy if you missed it. The following hadith of Sahih Imam Bukhari bears witness to the fact that parents needs our care and love: One Sahaba(ra) asked, ‘Which is the most loved action by ALLAH, the provider? Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, ‘To pray Salaat in the specified time or on time.’ It was then asked, ‘Which is most loved after that?’ Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: ‘To have good dealings with your parents.’ (Tafsiri Qurtubi). Hazrat Abu Umamah (ra) relates that a man asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), ‘What are the rights of the parents over their children?’ RasuululLah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, ‘They both are either your Jannah or Jahannam!’ (Ibn Majah). Meaning, the obedience and serving the parents is...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad, 25th/26th day of RAMADAAN (Sunday 10th June). OBEDIENCE AND MANNERS in DEALING WITH OURVPARENTS. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH, the most high says: ‘Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but HIM, and that you be kind to your parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age, say not to them a word of contempt or repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say: ‘My Lord, have mercy on them for they cherished me in childhood.’ (Qur'an 17 vs 23-24) In the above aayah, ALLAH, the Wise gives the order of dealing with parents in an honourable and respectful manner, treating them with love and obeying them. Just as in Surah Luqman, ALLAH, the most great mentions thanks due to HIM with that also of the parents, gratitude should be shown to both. It is proven from this that after the worship and obedience of ALLAH, the most perfect and HIS Messenger, obedience to one’s parents is...

THIRD REMINDER. Yaum Al-Sabt, 24th/25th day of RAMADAAN (Saturday 9th June). THE POWER OF REPENTANCE. LETS LEARN AND SHARE. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “No man does a wrong action then performs Wudu and does his Wudu well, then performs two Rakaat and seeks Allah’s forgiveness, but that He will forgive him.” [Imam Ahmad] Similar is Allah’s promise in the Quran: “Except the one who repents and believes and does good deeds, then Allah will replace the evil deeds of such people by good deeds, and Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.” [Surah Al-Furqan, Ayat 70] ALLAHU Akbar. A true repentance will not only remove the bad deed from your record, but will actually convert it into a good deed. Once you have realized your mistake, make Wudu properly and then pray two Rakaat seeking Allah’s forgiveness. May ALLAH forgive our sins and guide us from going back to the sins. Aameen.

Share to others for Allah sake. حَسْبِيَ اللّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِي HasbiyAllahu, la ilaha illaa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakaltu, wa Huwa Rabbul-Arshil-Atheem. "Allah is sufficient for me. I have placed my trust in Him, He is the Lord of the Majestic Throne. [Surah Tawbah, verse 129]. What is the significance of saying this du’a from surah Tawbah? The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, ALLAH will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning and evening whatever he desires from this world or the next.” [Saheeh, Sunan Abee Dawood].

FIRST REMINDER. Yaum Al-Sabt, 24th/25th day of RAMADAAN (Saturday 9th June). OUR SINS BLOCKS ALLAH'S BLESSINGS ON US. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem Alhamdulillah for HIS blessings and guidance. Reminder today is for us to watch our sins bcs they are the cost for our difficulties and calamities in life as Muslims. We pray qiyaamul layl/Taraaweeh/Tahajjud each year but do we see any changes in our life? If yes Alhamdulillah but if no then note that ALLAH does not want us to waste our time at night praying whiles we still think of going back to our sinful acts. ALLAH only act by our intention and sincere willingness to forgo our sins before HE guide us through but unfortunately some are even staying with their boy/girl friendship relationship whiles busy at night searching for laylatul qadar. Do we think ALLAH can be tricked or we are fooling ourselves?. Sufferings remind the sinful believer about the greatest affliction of life, i.e. death, which may afflict him at any moment. ...

Their bellies were as huge as house, stretching along the way of Pharaoh's people. On the other hand, the Pharaoh's people have to be brought in front of Fire at morning and evening. Like defeated camels, deaf and mad, the people of Pharaoh used to pass by them. Feeling them coming, they attempted to keep aside but their bellies were so heavy that they could not leave and they in ...
