 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 13th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Monday, 31st July, 2023). VOLUNTARY FASTING IS THE BEST FOR US. BismilLah.  It's my hope that majority of us are fasting today and would continue tomorrow for the 3 white days of the month plus Thursday. We are in Muharram so do not miss any sunnah fast.  It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may ALLAH be pleased with him that he said: the Messenger of ALLAH said: “ALLAH said: “I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of MINE. And the dearest things, with which My servant seeks proximity to ME, is what I have enjoined upon him; and MY servant keeps on coming closer to ME through supererogatory deeds till I love him. So I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, his sense of sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks ME, I will give him, and if he asks MY protection (Refuge), I will prot...

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...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 9th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Thursday, 27th July, 2023). VIRTUES OF FASTING. BismilLah. Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu to all of you. It's my hope that majority are fasting today if you intend to fast tomorrow. If you forgot you can continue if you've not eaten yet as its highly recommended to fast today so that you can add tomorrow day of Aashuura.   There is nothing wrong to fast on Friday as some are made to think. What is not recommended is to opt or single out for only Friday to fast optionally but if you fast on Thursday then nothing wrong to fast on Friday. We all know the importance of fasting in Islam so let's strive for this 2 days. Fasting is one of the best form of getting us closer to ALLAH and ALLAH love those who fast optionally for HIS sake and fasting tomorrow will hopefully expiate our minor sin from last year in Shaa ALLAH.  May ALLAH aid us through our efforts to please HIM and May ALLAH...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 8th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Wednesday, 26th July, 2023). THE BEST WEEK OF MUHARRAM. BismilLaah   It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: “The best fast after Ramadan is in the month of ALLAH Muharram.”Narrated by Muslim (1982).  We are encouraged to fast each Mondays and Thursdays well known to each of us but this coming Thursday and Friday are special for golden rewards so do not miss this coming Thursday 9th of Muharram then Friday then 10th of Muharram which is the day of Aashuura, the day ALLAH saved Musah alayhi salaam with his  followers and drowned Fir'aun and we fast to praise ALLAH bcs Musah alayhi salaam was one of the Messengers of ALLAH who was a Muslim so lets fast these 2 days together as its not recommended to single out Friday alone to fast even if its day of Aashuura.  May ALLAH aid us to fast and ma...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-thalaatha. 7th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Tuesday, 25th July, 2023). ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH. BismilLah.  AL-FATTAAH means, The Opener, The Judge. The One who opens all the doors of Opportunities, profit and sustenance to HIS slaves/servants. The gate of the solution of every difficut can be easily opened by HIM. HE makes clear what is unclear. Al-Fattaah is the One who judges between HIS slaves with perfect justice. ALLAH, Al-Fattah sends solutions when we least expect it.  Some matters may seem like dilemmas at first. Yuusuf alayhi salaam was imprisoned. But it was through the imprisonment that he  became the Minister. So remember that openings can come through things that look like problems to begin with so search the positives of every issues that seems problematic and always remember Innamal Usri ? Yusraa. AlhamdulilLah. Lets make good use of this attribute of ALLAH when seeking any help from HIM. Praise HIM with this attribute fi...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 6th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Monday, 24th July, 2023). WHY IS WUDUU(Ablution) SO IMPORTANT. BismilLah.  Wuduu(Ablution) is so important even in terms of health because it cleans the organs that are exposed to dirtiness and that are always in contact with things outside like hands, face, mouth, teeth, nose, head and feet. The ways through which microbes could penetrate the body are cleaned at least five times a day Alhamdulillah; thus, many diseases are prevented; the nervous system and the circulatory system of the body then functions better. Wuduu actually eliminates anger and calms the spirit. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) advised a person who becomes angry to make wuduu. (Abu Dawud, Adab, 3; Musnad, 4/226) Wuduu is a spiritual weapon of a believer and a spiritual shield against invisible dangers. Alhamdulillah.  A Muslim who makes wuduu is purified and cleaned from both material and spiritual impuriti...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 5th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Sunday, 23rd July, 2023). THE HIDDEN BLESSINGS OF ILLNESSES, SICKNESSES and HARDSHIPS. BismilLah.  Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated that ALLAH'S  Messenger salallahu alayhi wasallam said, “On the Day of Resurrection, when people who have suffered affliction on earth are given their reward, those who were always healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world.” (Al-Tirmidhi, 1570).  SubhanAllah, whatever pain we suffer in this life is not in vain as Muslims. It is not wasted. ALLAH the Most High has a plan for us, and HE is the best of planners. We must have faith in HIM and HIS plan for us.  Any form of hardship is an expiation for our sins to be wiped so that we can enter Jannatul Firdaus without any sins.  We ask ALLAH, AL-GHAFFAR (The All- and Oft-Forgiving) to have mercy on us all and forgive our sins. Aameen.
