Islamic Daily Reminder

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum at-thalaatha, 13th day of Muharram (Tuesday 1st Sept. 2020) ENJOINING GOOD AND FORBIDEN EVIL. BismilLah.  Enjoining good and forbidding evil is a very important topic worthy of attention, because welfare and salvation of the Ummah (nation based on one creed) lie in it; whereas, neglecting it causes great danger and corruption and disappearance of virtue and the spread of vice.  We Muslims, particularly at the present time, are in bad need to be active in the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil due to the prevalence of sins and forms of Shirk (associating others with ALLAH in HIS Divinity or worship) soothsaying, pride, arrogance, backbitting etc and Bid‘ahs (innovations in the religion) on earth. Let's not forget what ALLAH said that HE Will NOT help or change our bad condition till we change our bad ways of life. So we hold our own downfall, let's get up and change our own ways of life first then start talking to our family...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 12th day of Muharram (Monday 31st August 2020). WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUR'AN AND KITAAB? WE KNOW ALLAH USES BOTH IN HIS MASSAGE FOR MANKIND AND JINN KIND. HOW DO THEY RELATE?. BismilLah.  This is a bit long but very beneficial knowledge so don't miss reading it.  Understanding the Words Kitaab and Qur'an which are two popular names ALLAH (As-Sabur, The Patient, The Timeless) uses for HIS BOOK.  Kitaab comes from the Arabic word Kataba which means to write and at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam or olden days they write on stones, woods, leafs etc, so they couldn't edit or change what they've written on these olden materials so ALLAH (Ar-Rashid, The Guide, Infallible Teacher and Knower) using the word Kitaab has a profound reality or uniqueness of the QURAN which means Quran is something written down and no room for editing. We can't edit or change anything in the Qur'an. Even though ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 11th day of Muharram (Sunday 30th August 2020). REGULAR FASTING IS A SHIELD FOR OUR EEMAAN. BismilLah.  With the many temptations in our modern world, regularly fasting is the best means to protect us from any satanic influences. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAAH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) said: “Fasting does not just mean giving up food and drink, rather fasting means giving up idle speech and obscene conduct. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6057. This week is one of the best week to fast as it contains the 3 White days within Monday and Thursday so it's important to fast from Monday to Thursday in shaa ALLAH.  May ALLAH aid us in our efforts to be steadfast in our acts of worship and live a life of a true Muslim or Muslimah. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 10th day of Muharram (Saturday 29th August 2020). 3 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE TO PARADISE. BismilLah.  The people of Paradise are of 3 types as mentioned in the verse below: “ALLAH gave the BOOK, the QURAN) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom ALLAH chose Then of them are some who wrong their own selves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by ALLAH'S Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Quran), that is indeed a great grace.” (35:32).  Those who wrong themselves – They have mixed their righteous actions with their evil deeds. As ALLAAH says: “They have mixed a deed that was righteous with another that was evil” (9:102).  From them are those who will enter Jannah out of the Mercy of ALLAAH. Others will enter the Fire for a while and then ALLAAH will exit them from the Fire and enter them into Jannah by way of the Tawheed that they are upon. This is where righteous...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 9th day of Muharram (Friday 28th August 2020). ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE. BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) (again) said: Who has followed a funeral procession today? Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - the Holy Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy today Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-Khamis, 8th day of Muharram (Thursday 27th August 2020). FASTING FROM TODAY. BismilLah.  Alhamdulillah for blessing us with another day and my apologies for the delay in sharing a reminder with you. I would like to remind all about the virtues of fasting in Muharram which is very beneficial especially by stepping up our efforts to fast on Mondays, Thursdays and the 3 white days of 13th, 14th and 15th of each Islamic month. In this blessed month we are encouraged to fast on the 9th, 10th and 11th just to ensure we don't miss the day of Ashoorah in which we Muslims fast in commemorating the rescue of the people of Israel by Musah alaihi Salaam (Moses) from Pharaoh as recommended by the Prophet sallallahu Alaihi wasallam.  Imam Ahmad said: whoever wants to fast ‘Ashoora’ should fast on the ninth and the tenth, unless there is some uncertainty about the months, in which case he should fast for three days. Ibn Sireen said that. Al-Mughni, ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 7th day of Muharram (Wednesday 26th August 2020). LET'S FEAR THE DAY WE DIE. BismilLah.  ALLAH says in the Holy Quran: وَٱتَّقُواْ يَوۡمًا تُرۡجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ  Fear the day when you shall be returned to ALLAH, then each soul shall be paid what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged. Al-Baqarah 2:281. ALLAHU AKBAR.  Whatever you do please pause and remember this verse.  Ibn Abbas may ALLAH be pleased with him said, "The last Ayah to be revealed from the Qur'an was the above. MAY ALLAH grant us a good ending and take our soul only when HE is pleased with us. Aameen.
