 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 23rd day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 5th September, 2026.  *_WHAT WE SAY TO END THE ṢALĀH_*. BismilLah.  After standing before ALLAH Azzawajal, bowing, prostrating, asking forgiveness, making the Tashahhud and renewing our testimony of faith, we conclude by spreading peace. We turn our head to the right and left to say: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh “Peace and the Mercy of ALLAH be upon you.” This is the established Sunnah of concluding the prayer with salām. As-Salām is also one of the beautiful Names of ALLAH Azzawajal. It carries the meaning of perfection and freedom from every defect, as well as peace and security. So when we say As-salāmu ʿalaykum, we are wishing peace, safety and well-being upon those praying with us including the Angels and Jinns even though we don't see them thats why we are required to still say it even if we are praying alone.. We are not simply sa...

 *GUARD YOUR VOICE: OH SISTERS* Allah said in *Qur’an 33:32:* فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ ۖ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا “So do not be soft in speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved to desire; and speak in a manner that is appropriate.” ...and some of our noble scholars explain and support the principle, particularly regarding avoiding seductive softness, unnecessary familiarity, and inappropriate speech with non-maḥrams. 1. Imām al-Qurṭubī رحمه الله أمرهن الله أن يكون قولهن جزلاً وكلامهن فصلاً، ولا يكون على وجه يظهر في القلب علاقة بما يظهر عليه من اللين... And he further says: والمرأة تندب إذا خاطبت الأجانب... إلى الغلظة في القول، من غير رفع صوت، فإن المرأة مأمورة بخفض الكلام. Allah instructed women to speak firmly and clearly, rather than with softness that could create attraction. When speaking to non-maḥrams, the woman should avoid softness and speak appropriately without raising her voice. *Source:* al-Qurṭubī, Al-Jā...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 8 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم 'Amr ibn al-'Aas narrated that he was participating in an expedition. He had a wet dream during an extremely cold night, and was afraid that if he performed ghusl he would die. He prayed the morning prayer with his companions. He then went to the Prophet (pbuh) to ask him about this. The Prophet (pbuh) said, "O 'Amr, did you pray with your companions while you needed a post-nocturnal bath?" 'Amr mentioned the verse, *"Do not kill yourselves, Allah is merciful to you"* to the Prophet. The Prophet (pbuh) just laughed and didn't say anything. 📚(Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Hakim, ad-Daraqutni, Ibn Hibban and al-Bukhari in mu'allaq form.) ▪️The above example illustrated the Prophet's tacit approval. ▪️Sometimes, the husband is not feeling too strong (health-wise), yet, the wife may knock on him to do the needful inside bedroom and he should not decline (if he can ...

 FAJR REMINDER: WIPING OVER KHUFFAYN OR JAWRABAYN By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 22, 1448 (4-September-2026) Alḥamdulillāh for the blessing of Islām. Among the many beauties of Islām is the ease that Allāh has placed in acts of worship. Our Sharī‘ah does not place unnecessary hardship upon us; rather, it provides concessions when appropriate. A profound example of this ease is Masḥ (wiping) over Khuffayn or Jawrabayn—leather socks or regular socks. This is an established Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ).  The following are some of the conditions for wiping over leather or regular socks: 1. The socks must be worn while in a state of ritual purity The socks must be put on after performing Wuḍū’ and while one is in a state of purity. Al-Mughīrah Ibn Shu‘bah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated: “I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey. I bent down to remove his leather socks, so he said: ‘Leave them, for I put them on while I was in a state of purity.’ Then he wiped over them.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī ...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 7 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Jabir (r.a.) said, "We were on a journey and one of us got injured. Later, he had a wet dream. He asked his companions, 'Can I perform tayammum?' They said, 'No, not if you have water.' He performed ghusl and died. When they came to the Prophet (pbuh), they informed him of what had transpired. He said, 'They killed him, Allah will kill them. Do you not ask if you do not know? The rescue of the ignorant person is the question. He could have performed tayammum and dropped water on his wound or wrapped it with something and wipe over the wrapping, and wash the rest of his body." 📚This is related by Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, ad-Daraqutni and Ibn as-Sakin, who said it is sahih. Muslim Faithful! Sometimes it can be quite hard to get oneself motivated to renew our state of body purity through ablution or purity bath (gusl janabah) during cold weather, but swalat are obligations which must be...

 FAJR REMINDER: WHEN A MISTAKE BECOMES A LESSON By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 21, 1448 (3-September-2026) Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām), under the Protection of Allāh, grew up in the very house of Fir’aun. He eventually attained his full strength and reached maturity. Then, one day, he entered the city and found two men fighting—one from his own people, the Banī Israel (an Israelite), and the other from his enemies, a Coptic. The Israelite man called upon Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) for help against the Coptic. Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām), taking advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, approached the Coptic and struck him with his fist. The man died from the blow. Subḥānallāh! This was how Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) mistakenly killed a person. Yet, he (‘Alayhi Salām) did not simply dismiss the incident as a mistake and move on. He immediately felt remorse and hastened to seek Allāh’s Forgiveness. Allāh (ﷻ) informs us that he said: رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْف...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 21st day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Thursday, 3rd September, 2026. *_UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE SAY IN OUR SALAAT CONTINUES_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our understanding of what we say during salaat. Today we will study the meaning of the Tashahhud. The Tashahhud (التَّشَهُّد) is one of the most profound parts of ṣalaah. It brings together tawḥīd, praise of ALLAH Azzawajal, peace upon the Prophet ﷺ, testimony of faith, and a declaration that our entire life belongs to ALLAH Azzawajal. The commonly recited Tashahhud is: التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ، وَالصَّلَوَاتُ، وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ. السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ. السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَىٰ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. Overall meaning “All greetings of honour, all prayers, and all good things are for ALLAH Azzawajal. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, a...

 Open Ur Eyes & Ears ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My dear brother, my dear sister, Let me ask you a simple question. When you are traveling, who is your best friend? Is it the one who makes you laugh and forget the road? Or is it the one who warns you about the dangerous turns ahead and reminds you to pack enough water for the journey? Of course, it is the one who warns you. Because he wants you to reach home safely. That is why the one who reminds you to fear Allah (swt), to do good deeds, and to prepare for the life after death is your number one best friend. Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an: "And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers." 📚(Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:55) And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The religion is sincere advice." The companions asked, "To whom?" He said, "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk." 📚(Sahih Muslim) So when s...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 6 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) say in Suratul Maryam, chapter 19 verse 23: فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَٰلَيْتَنِى مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten." 📚Maryam 19:23 This means, "I wish I had not been created and I was nothing." - I was something unknown, forgotten and no one knew who I was. *Lessons:* In every situations we found ourselves, Allah (swt) sees our Pain and Struggles. Maryam (a.s.) was a chaste woman, committed to worshipping Allah, and yet Allah tested her with a miraculous pregnancy in a community where pre-marital sex would mean surely being out-casted, even being stoned to death. This mean that, no matter our level of obedience to Allah (swt), we will be tested in one way or the other in life. Maryam (a.s.) ...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 5 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم In this world, the similitude of Allah (swt) towards his slaves, is that of - *"a wise teacher who want to know hard-working student and the lazy student in his class. Yes. He does this by preparing regular exams as testimonies so that the students would not say that the teacher had favored some students over the others"*😃. And Exams also urge students to get prepared in order to succeed. Also, The wise teacher sets different evaluation criteria for different grades; the students in the first grade are not evaluated as the students in the advanced degrees. We expect that the fair and wise God would evaluate people according to what they have been provided. Furthermore, The students should not wonder about the intention of the teacher; they are supposed to focus on what the teacher asked them to do. Yes. If Allah (swt) wants to set up the testing environment to test people, then we are not supposed to...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 20th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 2nd September, 2026. *_UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE SAY IN OUR SALAAT CONTINUES_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our understanding of what we say during salaat. Zikir after first sujuud. After the first sujuud, we sit briefly before going down for the second sujuud. In this sitting, the common Sunnah supplication is: رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي Rabbighfirlii, Rabbighfirlii “My Lord, forgive me. My Lord, forgive me.” The Prophet ﷺ taught this supplication during the sitting between the two prostrations. It is authentically reported in the hadith collections, including Sunan Abī Dāwūd and Sunan al-Tirmidhī. Why “forgive me”? Think about the sequence: Rukūʿ: Subḥāna Rabbiyal-ʿAẓīm “Glory is to my Lord, the Magnificent.” Rising from rukūʿ: Rabbana wa lakal-ḥamd “Our Lord, to You belongs all praise.” First sujūd: Subḥāna Rabbiyal-Aʿlā “Glory is to my Lord, the Most High.” Sitting betwe...

 FAJR REMINDER: FIR’AUN RAISED HIS DOWNFALL By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 20, 1448 (2-September-2026) Among the matters we should deeply reflect upon, as a manifestation of the Greatness and Perfect Planning of Allāh, is the remarkable story of the male child—Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām)—through whom Fir’aun would eventually lose his power and meet his destruction. Subḥānallāh! The very child whom Fir’aun feared and sought to eliminate was raised in his own household. Fir’aun himself became part of the upbringing of Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām). Allāh could have destroyed Fir’aun immediately, but He did not. Instead, He caused the very child through whom Fir’aun would eventually be destroyed to grow up right under his roof. What an extraordinary demonstration of the Power and Wisdom of Allāh! Ibn ‘Abbās and Mujāhid said: Allāh left Fir'awn for forty years after his first statement: يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرِي “O chiefs! I know not that you have a god ...

 FAJR REMINDER: BUT ALLĀH HAD A BETTER PLAN By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 19, 1448 (1-September-2026) When Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) was cast into the river, his mother’s heart became empty. She could think of nothing in this world except her beloved child. The grief was so overwhelming that she was almost unable to conceal what had happened.  A mother's love! It was narrated that Ṣa'ṣa'ah, the paternal uncle of Aḥnaf, said: دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا فَأَعْطَتْهَا ثَلاَثَ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً ثُمَّ صَدَعَتِ الْبَاقِيَةَ بَيْنَهُمَا.‏ قَالَتْ فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏ ”مَا عَجَبُكِ لَقَدْ دَخَلَتْ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ.“ “A woman entered upon Ā'ishah with her two daughters, and she gave her three dates. (The woman) gave each of her daughters a date, then she split the last one between them. She (Ā'ishah) said: ‘Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came and I told him about that.’ He ...
