 FAJR REMINDER: TO HAVE YOUR DEEDS ACCEPTED! By: Umm Affān Sha'bān 15, 1447 (3-February-2026) Dear brethren, remember that any action performed in our Deen (i.e., Islām) must meet two essential conditions for it to be regarded as good and deserving of reward. The first condition is Ikhlāṣ (sincerity). An act of worship must be done solely for Allāh, aiming to seek His Pleasure alone. Abū Umāmah reported that a man approached the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked, “If a man fights for the sake of reward and fame, what do you think he has?” The Prophet replied, “He has nothing.” The man repeated his question three times, and each time the Prophet confirmed, “He has nothing.” Finally, the Prophet stated, “Indeed, Allāh does not accept any good deeds unless they are performed sincerely and in pursuit of His Countenance.” [Sunan An-Nasā’ī 3140] We must eliminate Riyā (showing off), which the Prophet (ﷺ) referred to as minor Shirk. This practice can ruin one’s deeds! If your primary concern is obt...

 *Pick Your Calls* [[--Episode 7--]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Every year, Allah (swt) invites us to a special cleaning. Not of our clothes, but of our faith. Our souls get dirty. With lies, with jealousy, with talking about people, with wasting time. Allah (swt) says the goal of fasting is this: "that you may become righteous" 📚(2:183). To become clean inside and out. So think: If you finish Ramadan and your faith is not cleaner, stronger, and brighter... what was all the hunger for? The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave a scary warning. He said if someone fasts but still lies, backbites, or does evil, Allah (swt) will say: "I do not need you to leave your food and drink." The fast is rejected. The Real Fast: Lock Your Tongue. Yes! Fasting is more than no food, no water. It is no gossip. No backbiting. No "listening to music or watching movies". What is backbiting? The Prophet explained: "It is talking about your Muslim brother or si...

 HADIZA  Chapter Two Secondary School Chaos All this while, we were still secondary school students, struggling to understand life, trying to find our place in a world that already had its rules. But our life didn’t stop there. Throughout secondary school, we had developed a routine that nobody could guess: sneaking out from school when we wanted, skipping classes without a trace, or hiding an extra set of clothes at the back, ready to change into when it suited us. While other students trudged home or back to school in their uniforms, we followed them, carefully dressed in our school attire, giving the perfect illusion that we were diligent students. It was on a Friday, and the sun was unusually bright, laughing at our little schemes as we sprinted along the dusty street. We were halfway to a party when the school principal, Mr. Adekunle, suddenly appeared. “Where are you girls going?” he demanded, his voice sharp and slicing through the laughter that had been filling the air...

 Hadiza Chapter One - Hadiza  My name is Hadiza. I was born in a community surrounded by people who didn’t care much about the value of life. Everyone lived as if tomorrow was a luxury they might not deserve—selfish, careless, and ready to take whatever they could grab. I grew up learning early that survival meant bending rules, breaking them sometimes, and smiling when the world judged you. I was part of a group of girls who were infamous in our town. We were known for our disrespect, our daring nature, our refusal to bow to society’s narrow standards. We were dishonored in the eyes of many, laughed at, whispered about—but we didn’t care. In fact, we wore the title like a badge of pride. We were the gang everyone warned their daughters about. And deep down, we enjoyed it. Our days were a blur of nightclubs, loud music, and tight clothes that drew more than attention—they invited desire, chaos, and sometimes trouble. Men from our town, even from neighboring communities, came t...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-ithnayn, 14th day of Sha’abaan, 1447AH, Monday, 2nd February, 2026. *_RAMADAN SERIES_*. BismilLah.  Ramadan is approaching alhamdulillah. We pray that ALLAH Azzawajal grant us the opportunity to be part of this blessed month of the year. From today, we are pausing our Tafseer series and jump into Ramadan series in Shaa ALLAH. We will start the Tafseer series again when Ramadan starts be-iznilLah.  Let's remind each other what Ramadan is.  Ramadan is a life-reset, not just a fasting schedule my brothers and sisters. ALLAH Azzawajal says: “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain TAQWA.” (Qur’an 2:183). So from this verse, it is clear that; 🔹 The goal is TAQWA that's self-control, ALLAH-consciousness, discipline, so if Ramadan ends and nothing changes in our ways of life, we’ve missed the point. Fasting is not just avoiding food but also fasting from sins, ego, a...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE FAVOR OF ALLĀH! By: Umm Affān Sha'bān 14, 1447 (2-February-2026) Dear brethren! Let us express our gratitude to Allāh for His countless Favors upon us, which we could never fully enumerate. The greatest of these Favors is Islām—the gift of being Muslims. Additionally, Allāh allows us to strengthen our Eemān, enabling us to be conscious and practicing Muslims, unlike many others who may not be. This, too, is a significant Favor from Allāh, and we cannot thank Him enough. Moreover, we find ourselves alive with eager anticipation for Ramaḍān. This is yet another tremendous Favor from Allāh, especially considering that many who were also looking forward to this year’s Ramaḍān have passed away. I pray that Allāh forgives and blesses our deceased brethren with Jannah. The core purpose of our creation is to worship Allāh. Given this clarity, it is essential for us to understand that worshiping Allāh is obligatory, and we must remove anything that hinders us from fulfil...

 *Pick Your Calls* [[--Episode 5--]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم If a person delays making up missed Ramadan fasts until the next Ramadan begins, then if that was for a reason such as sickness, pregnancy or breastfeeding and the like, then he or she does not have to do anything except make up the missed days. But if there was no excuse , then he or she has sinned and must make up for the missed days, but does he or she have to pay a fidyah or not? There is a difference of opinion among the scholars. The majority are of the view that the person must pay back all the missed Ramadan fast and the fidyah must be paid, and it is feeding one poor person for every day. Now, Intentionally breaking the fast on any day in Ramadan is a major sin in Islam and requires repentance and an “atonement” or “expiation” called kaffarah. An expiation (kaffarah) is a penalty that makes up for a violation. The Shari‘ah difference between the redemption fee (fidyah) and the atonement or expi...

 *Together Forever* [[--Episode 9--]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Marriage is a beautiful journey. It starts with love. But sometimes, that love can grow smaller. Many things can cause this. One of the biggest reasons is when we stop forgiving. My People, Allah (swt) loves those who choose to forgive. In the Quran, He describes good people as those "who restrain anger and who pardon the people" 📚(Qur'an 3:134). This is especially important in marriage. A happy marriage is a union of two good forgivers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to "pardon whoever wrongs you." He said: O Uqbah, reconcile whoever cuts you off, give to whoever deprives you, and pardon whoever wrongs you..." 📚Source: Musnad Ahmad 16999 The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“Whoever suffers an injury and forgives (the person responsible), Allah will raise his or her status to a higher degree and remove some sins committed by the one who forgives.” 📚(Tirmidhi) My Pe...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad, 13th day of Sha’abaan, 1447AH, Sunday, 1st February, 2026. *_PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR OUR DAILY LIFE FROM SUURAH AL-BAYYINAH (QUR’AN 98)_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies on Suurah Al-Bayyinah with some practical Lessons below; 1️⃣ Check Your Sincerity. Ask yourself regularly: Am I doing this for ALLAH Azzawajal or for people’s approval? Small actions with sincerity outweigh large actions without it. 2️⃣ Don’t Delay Obedience Waiting for “More Proof” Many people delay change saying, “I’ll start later when I’m more ready.” This suurah reminds us: the proof is already clear. 3️⃣ Unity Requires Humility. Disagreements often arise from ego, not truth. Stay humble, especially when knowledge increases. 4️⃣ Balance Worship and Social Duty. Prayer connects you to ALLAH Azzawajal; zakah connects you to people. A complete Muslim life includes both. 5️⃣ Aim to Be Among the ‘Best of Creation’. This status is open to anyone, through: True bel...

 FAJR REMINDER: RAMAḌĀN IS COMING! By: Umm Affān Sha'bān 13, 1447 (1-February-2026) Ramaḍān is truly one of the greatest blessings that Allāh grants us. It is a period filled with generosity, blessings, spiritual nourishment, worship, and obedience to Allāh. Fasting during this month is the fourth pillar of Islām, making it essential to prepare adequately before it begins. Ibn Rajab reported that Ma’la Ibn al-Faḍl (Raḥimahullāh) mentioned, “The companions would supplicate to Allāh for six months before they would reach Ramaḍān. Then, they would supplicate to him for six months afterward to accept their deeds.” [Laṭā’if al-Ma’ārif 1/138] Indeed, reaching Ramaḍān is a significant blessing. This is why the Prophet (ﷺ) would notify people with glad tidings about this cherished month and highlight its virtues along with the considerable rewards that Allāh has prepared for those who fast and engage in night prayers. It is vital to embrace this blessed month with heartfelt repentance ...

 The Nullifiers of Islam. Alhamdulillah, let's remind ourselves and look at the things that nullify our Islam. First is shirk which is to associate partners with Allah SWT. Then followed by Magic as Allāh says, Al-Baqarah 2:102 And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]."[1] And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allāh. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. An...

BismilLah Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Bayyinah.  بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ I begin in the name of ALLAH Azzawajal, The Most Gracious, The most Merciful.  7. إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds, they are the best of creation. Note: True honor is not lineage, wealth, or claims, but faith paired with action. 8. جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ Their reward with their Lord is Gardens of Eternity beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. ALLAH is pleased with them, and they are pleased with HIM. That is for the one who fears his Lord. NOTE:...
