Islamic Daily Reminder

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 9th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Friday 31st March 2023). THE REAL THIEVES OF RAMADAN CONTINUES. BismilLah Let's conclude on this topic.  The next point to be careful about is Bad Akhlaq(practice of virtue, morality and manners): Fasting is not just restraining from food and drinks but eyes, ears, tongue and all parts of the body should also be fasting.. Stay away from lying, backbiting, cursing, suspicion etc if you want to receive the full rewards for the fasting.  And finally, the biggest thief: Social Media i.e Facebook, Watsapp, YouTube, etc. If you do not use them in the right way, all your good deeds could be taken from you. Don't let this holy month go so that when everyone is receiving their rewards, you are the one who maybe empty-handed. YouTube especially is a place we can easily listen to or watch our scholars tafseer, etc, but it's the same place that can damage our eemaan and aqeedah with bad contents. Please remembe...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 8th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Thursday 30th March 2023).  THE REAL THIEVES OF RAMADHAN CONTINUES. BismilLah Let's continue from yesterday's reminder. Please request a copy if you couldn't receive the reminder yesterday.  Wasting night: A thief that steals the most valuable time from us. This thief is responsible for turning you away from salaatul layl, istighfar and tawbah and recitation of the Qur'an. Make time your priority without wasting a second in this blessed month.  Stinginess: Give sadaqah, iftaar, and help the orphans.. Give iftaar even if it is half a date or a sip of water, so ALLAH will forgive your sins. Gatherings without dhikr of ALLAH: This thief comes with deep regret on the day of judgement. Don't go to places of gathering if not for Islamic lectures, etc.  Not Helping parents; Whoever in this month does good towards their relatives, ALLAH connects them with HIS mercy on the day of judgement. My dear, ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 7th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Wednesday 29th March 2023). Lets Be careful with THIEVES of the month of Ramadhan. BismilLah.  By saying thieves, I mean things and actions that can take away most of the blessings of this month from us.  Television: This thief is dangerous and ruins days of people and diminishes their rewards, by watching useless movies and programs it squanders the time in a month where the days are the best of all days and nights are the best of all nights. Let's give TV the YELLOW card if we can be watching only Islamic lectures on it, but the RED card if we can't use it for only Islamic programs.  Too much sleep: Just because it is said in Hadith that even sleep in this month has thawab (some benefits) doesn't mean that you should excessively sleep.. The point is that if even sleep contains rewards, then imagine the rewards of Ibaadat or acts of worship. Let's utilise our time wisely in getting the best out...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Tuesday 28th March 2023). CONTROLLING OUR TONGUE. BismilLah.  Controlling the tongue for many people is more difficult than abstaining from food and drinks. It is easy to abstain from food and drink, but abstaining one’s tongue is a really difficult one. What we need to remember is that ALLAH is not in need of the fast of such a person. The Prophet sallallahu  alaihi  wasallam said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, ALLAH has no need of him giving up his food and drink.” [Tirmidhi 707]. Even though it is difficult to always keep our tongue under control, let us try our best. Let us constantly keep reminding ourselves that we are not only abstaining from food and drink, and that we are also abstaining from all sorts of sins, which will cause us to attain the anger of ALLAH. Ramadhan rewards depend on the quality of how we made used of the day ie how we started and e...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-ithnayn. 5th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Monday 27th March 2023). THE BEST FORM OF CHARITY. BismilLah. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "A man asked: 'O Messenger of ALLAH (peace be upon him), which kind of charity is best? He said: 'Giving charity when you are in good health, and feeling stingy, hoping for a long life and fearing poverty."(Sunan an-Nasa'i, Book 23, Hadith 2543). There is no better month to give charity than this month, especially to your relatives, so let's step up our efforts. May ALLAH aid us to be able to support those in need and keep guiding us till Jannat becomes our final abode. Aameen.

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 4th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Sunday 26th March 2023). SOME MISTAKES TO AVOID DURING FASTING . Bismillah. Alhamdulillah, for blessing us to be part of this blessed month. It's my hope that all abled muslims are fasting and I pray that may ALLAH accept it from us all and bless those who are unable to fast due to genuine reasons such as our sisters in their cycle etc. Let's remind each other about some mistakes we do whilst fasting. Wasting time. The month of Ramadhan is precious, before we realized, this month of MERCY and FORGIVENESS is over. We should try and spend every moment possible in the worship of ALLAH so that we can make the most of these blessings. However, there are some of who waste away their day playing video games, or worse still, watching TV, movies, or even listening to music instead of the Quran. Some ignorance even fight and divorce their wives during fasting Subhaan’Allah! Some fast but do not give up lying, cur...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 3rd day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Saturday 25th March 2023). SHOULD A DIABETIC PERSON FAST? IS IT NOT SUFFICIENT FOR HIM TO OFFER FIDYAH (FEEDING THE POOR)?. Bismillah.  In response to this question, I can say that one can not make a blanket ruling to the effect that all diabetic people may skip fasting and only need to provide fidyah(feeding the poor). This is because each diabetic person's condition is different from the other, as each one reacts differently to fasting. If we see one diabetic person as being adversely affected by fasting, we also find another, in spite of being a diabetic, not at all troubled by fasting. This being the case, one should never assume that all diabetic individuals are generally exempt from fasting. If a diabetic person has been advised by his or her doctor not to keep the fast, or if, after having monitored his or her sugar level, it has been determined that fasting is dangerous, then they are exempt from ...
