RACISM, NATIONALISM & DISCRIMINATION ARE FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Ath-Thulāthā’ | 4th day of Rabī‘ ath-Thānī, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 15th September, 2026 RACISM, NATIONALISM & DISCRIMINATION ARE FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM Bismillāh. ALLAH ‘Azzawajal says: “O mankind! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of ALLAH is the most righteous of you.” Qur’an 49:13 Notice the wisdom in the words of ALLAH ‘Azzawajal: “so that you may know one another.” Our different nations, tribes, languages, and backgrounds are not reasons for arrogance or hatred. They are part of the diversity Allah has created among mankind. What gives a person true honour in the sight of ALLAH is not their race, nationality, tribe, colour, wealth, or social status—but their Taqwā (righteousness and consciousness of ALLAH). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also condemned the attitudes of tribal and racial superiority. In his Farewell Sermon...

WHEN SIGNS ARE NOT ENOUGH

  FAJR REMINDER: WHEN SIGNS ARE NOT ENOUGH Rabī‘ Al-Akhīr 3, 1448 AH | 15 September 2026 There are hearts so deeply imprisoned by arrogance that even when the truth becomes unmistakably clear, they still refuse to submit. Signs come. Warnings follow. Hardships descend, and relief is granted. Yet the heart remains stubborn. The story of Fir‘aun and his people is one of the clearest examples of what happens when people repeatedly encounter the Signs of Allāh but choose defiance over guidance. Fir‘aun and his people were afflicted with years of drought and a shortage of fruits and crops so that they might take heed and return to the truth. Allāh ﷻ says: وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ “And indeed We punished the people of Fir‘aun with years of drought and shortness of fruits (crops, etc.), that they might remember (take heed).” [Sūrah Al-A‘rāf 7:130] The purpose of the trial was not merely to punish them....

A GIFT FOR YOU — Episode 10

  A Gift For You [[- Episode 10 -]] بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم My Brother, My Sister! This is not just a story from the past. It is a reminder for you , right now. Let us reflect on two simple but powerful truths. Truth No. 1: Your Provision Is Already Known to Allah Your Rizq —your food, wealth, opportunities, marriage, and other provisions—are all within the knowledge and decree of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Nothing that Allah has decreed for you will miss you, and nothing that He has not decreed for you will reach you. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Know that what has befallen you could not have missed you, and what has missed you could not have befallen you.” So does this mean we should stop making Du‘ā ? Absolutely not! This is where we need to understand Qadr correctly. Your Du‘ā is itself part of Allah's decree. Allah knows what you will ask for, when you will ask, and what He will give you in response. Your effort, your Du‘ā, and the outcome are all within His perfect knowled...

Prophet Ayyub (عليه السلام): Patience That Led to Relief

  STORY OF SUCCESS — Part Two — بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Prophet Ayyub (عليه السلام): Patience That Led to Relief The story of Prophet Ayyub (عليه السلام) is one of the greatest reminders of patience, perseverance and complete trust in Allah. Ayyub (عليه السلام) was tested with severe hardship. He lost his wealth and suffered tremendous affliction, yet he did not abandon his Lord. His trial became a testimony to the strength of his faith. The Qur’an records his humble supplication: وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ “And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, ‘Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.’” — Qur’an 21:83 Notice the beauty of his supplication. Ayyub (عليه السلام) did not accuse Allah of injustice. He did not turn his heart away from his Creator. Instead, while acknowledging his suffering, he recognised Allah’s perfect mercy. Allah then answere...

WHEN THE TRUTH IS CALLED MISCHIEF

  FAJR REMINDER: WHEN THE TRUTH IS CALLED MISCHIEF Rabīʿ Al-Akhīr 2, 1448 AH — 14 September 2026 When Truth Is Misrepresented How far can a person go when hatred of the truth takes control of the heart? When a person allows arrogance, desires, and attachment to falsehood to overcome submission to the Guidance of Allāh, he may eventually reach a dangerous state in which truth appears to him as falsehood, while falsehood is presented as truth. The story of Firʿawn and his people provides a powerful example of this reality. When Prophet Mūsā (ʿalayhis-salām) came with clear signs from his Lord and called Firʿawn and his people to the worship of Allāh, they did not simply reject his message. They attempted to suppress it, intimidate those who believed, and prevent the truth from spreading. The chiefs of Firʿawn's people even described the call of Mūsā (ʿalayhis-salām) as something that would cause “mischief” in the land: وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ...

PLEASING ALLAH AZZA WA JALL MUST BE OUR MAIN GOAL IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Al-Ithnayn | 3rd day of Rabee‘uth-Thaani, 1448 AH | Monday, 14th September 2026 PLEASING ALLAH AZZA WA JALL MUST BE OUR MAIN GOAL IN EVERYTHING WE DO. Bismillah. ALLAH Azza wa Jall says: “And I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” Qur’an 51:56 Worship is not limited to Salah, fasting, Hajj, and other acts of worship. When our intentions are sincere, earning a halal income, caring for our family, raising children, helping someone, being a good spouse, studying, working honestly, and even resting can become acts of worship. Ask yourself: “Will ALLAH Azza wa Jall be pleased with this?” Before making an important decision, we should train ourselves to ask: “Is this pleasing to ALLAH?” Not: “What will people say?” “Will this make me popular?” “What will I gain?” “Will people praise me?” “What are others doing?” People’s approval can change quickly, but the pleasure of ALLAH is what ultimately matters. ALLAH Azza wa Jal...

THE DANGER OF LACK OF APPRECIATION AMONG MUSLIM COUPLES

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul ahad | 2nd day of Rabee-uthaani, 1448 AH | Sunday, 13th September, 2026. *_THE DANGER OF LACK OF APPRECIATION AMONG MUSLIM COUPLES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem  Marriage in Islam is not merely about providing money, cooking food, raising children or fulfilling physical responsibilities. It is also about recognising, appreciating and valuing the sacrifices of your spouse. A husband may work long hours to provide for his family, yet never hear, “Jazaakallaahu khayran.” A wife may spend her entire day caring for the home and children, sacrificing her sleep, comfort and personal time, yet never hear, “I appreciate you.” Over time, the heart can become tired. What lack of appreciation can cause 1. It creates resentment. When someone repeatedly gives but feels unseen, they may eventually ask: “Why should I continue doing all this when nobody cares?” 2. When appreciation is absent, even a small mistake can overshadow years of sacrifice. 3. It open...

CHOOSING EEMĀN OVER DUNYĀ

 FAJR REMINDER: CHOOSING EEMĀN OVER DUNYĀ By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Akhīr 1, 1448 (13-September-2026) The magicians whom Fir’aun brought to compete against Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) were ultimately defeated when they witnessed the truth of his miracle. At the end of the contest, they openly accepted and declared their belief in Allāh, the Lord of Prophet Mūsā and Hārūn (‘Alayhimā Salām). Their acceptance of the truth, however, enraged Fir’aun. Unable to accept their decision, he became furious and threatened them with severe punishment. Allāh (ﷻ) informs: قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنتُم بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۝ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ “Fir‘aun said: ‘You have believed in him (Mūsā) before I permit you. Surely, this is a plot which you have plotted in the city to drive out its people, but you shall come to know...

Story of Success [[- Part Two -]]

 Story of Success [[- Part Two -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Ayyub (a.s.) responded, “Allah gives me what is good for me, and takes away what Allah sees that is displeasing for Him and for me. Allah sees that all of these children may be a strong test & trial for me, so Allah took them away from me. Whether a thing is beneficial or harmful to me, I will remain firm in my belief and remain thankful to my Creator.” Satan rushed back to Allah and said, “O my Lord, Ayyub’s wealth is gone, his children are dead, and he is still healthy in body, and as long as he enjoys good health he will continue to worship You in hopes of regaining his wealth and producing more children. Grant me authority over his body so that I may weaken it. He will surely neglect worshipping You and will thus become disobedient.” Allah granted his request but instructed, “I give you authority over his body but not over his soul, intellect or heart, for in these places reside the knowledge of Me...

Story of Success [[- Part One -]]

 Story of Success [[- Part One -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Ayyub was a Prophet who was immensely blessed by Allah— he was strong and healthy, had large plots of land, abundant livestock, and a righteous and beautiful family; he was also a community leader who was highly respected and loved by his people. Despite his status and wealth, Ayyub was never arrogant; he was always humble, he readily helped the deprived, and constantly thanked and glorified Allah (swt) for everything he was blessed with. One day, high up in the heavens, the angels began discussing about the best of humans who lived on earth. An angel amongst them said, “The best creature on earth today is Ayyub, a man of noble character who displays great patience and always remembers his Generous Lord. He is an excellent model for the worshippers of Allah (swt)..." Satan, who was in the vicinity, overhead the discussion and became very angry. He immediately began plotting to lure Ayyub away from the wor...

THE HUSBAND'S RIGHTS OVER HIS WIFE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 1st day of Rabee-uthaani, 1448 AH | Saturday, 12th September, 2026.  *THE HUSBAND'S RIGHTS OVER HIS WIFE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Just as Islam gives the wife important rights over her husband as discussed in yesterday's reminder, the husband also has rights over his wife. These rights must always be understood within the wider Islamic principles of justice, mercy, and obedience to ALLAH Azzawajal. 1. Obedience in what is good: A wife should obey her husband in matters that are lawful and reasonable. Obedience to the husband does not mean obeying him in sin or anything ALLAH Azzawajal has prohibited. 2. Respect and good character: She should speak to him respectfully, avoid deliberately humiliating him, and treat him with kindness. 3. Protecting his honour and trust. A wife should protect her husband's honour, property and private affairs, especially when he is absent. ALLAH Azzawajal praises righteous wives as those who “guard in...

WHEN MARRIAGE BECOMES UNBEARABLE

 FAJR REMINDER: WHEN MARRIAGE BECOMES UNBEARABLE  By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 30, 1448 (12-September-2026) When a woman can no longer remain in her marriage, what can she do? Islām does not require a person to remain trapped in an unbearable marriage. Rather, it provides lawful solutions and avenues for relief when a marriage can no longer be sustained. This brings us to the biography of Ḥabībah Bint Sahl (Raḍiyallāhu 'Anha), an Anṣāriyyah woman whose story with her husband, Thābit Ibn Qays Al-Anṣārī (Raḍiyallāhu 'Anhu), is among the important narrations connected to the legislation of Khulʿ. Her case demonstrates that a woman may seek separation from her husband when there is a genuine reason for doing so. Thābit Ibn Qays was one of the well-known and courageous Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ). He was renowned for his steadfastness and exceptional eloquence and was widely admired for his powerful voice and outstanding speaking ability. Along with these natural talents, he p...
