IS YOUR GHUSL VALID?

 FAJR REMINDER: IS YOUR GHUSL VALID? By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 16, 1448 (31-July-2026) For Ghusl (i.e., ritual washing of the entire body to attain purification after major impurity) to be valid, two essential conditions must be fulfilled: 1. Intention (Niyyah) Every act of worship begins with intention. It is the intention that distinguishes an act of Ghusl performed for purification from an ordinary bath. Before beginning Ghusl, make the intention in your heart to remove the state of major impurity so that you can perform acts of worship such as Ṣalāh. Since intention is an action of the heart, there is no need to verbalize it, as the Prophet (ﷺ) never did so. 2. Water must reach every part of the body This is the second essential requirement for a valid Ghusl. Everything beyond these two essentials is from the Sunnah and earns additional reward. One of the most common mistakes people make during Ghusl is failing to ensure that water reaches every part of the body. Pay close attention ...

TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Jumuat | 17th day of Safar, 1448 AH | Friday, 31st July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullah. Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week. Let's continue with our studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat from verses 15-26 which speaks about  Prophet Musah (alaihi salaam) and Pharaoh: a warning against arrogance. The Connection with the Previous Verses. After affirming the certainty of the Resurrection and the Day of Judgment from verses 6–14, ALLAH (azza wa jal) presents the story of Prophet Musah (Moses) عليه السلام and Pharaoh (Firʿawn) as a historical proof and a warning. Just as Pharaoh arrogantly denied ALLAH'S signs and was destroyed in this world, those who deny the Resurrection and reject ALLAH'S Messenger ﷺ should expect an even greater punishment in the Hereafter if they do not repent. ALLAHU AKBAR.  Verse 15 هَلْ أَتَىٰك...

HOW HONESTY SHAPED GENERATIONS

 FAJR REMINDER: HOW HONESTY SHAPED GENERATIONS By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 15, 1448 (30-July-2026) The remarkable honesty of the young milkmaid did not go unnoticed. Determined to honour her integrity, the Khalīfah, ‘Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu), summoned both her and her mother to his court. As they stood before the leader of the Muslims, the mother trembled with fear, overwhelmed by the gravity of the moment. Her daughter, however, remained calm, composed, and confident. Such is the strength that accompanies truthfulness. A person who has committed no wrongdoing has little reason to fear standing before a just ruler. In the presence of those gathered, the Khalīfah recounted how he had overheard the conversation between the mother and her daughter concerning the adulteration of the milk. He praised the young woman for choosing obedience to Allāh over obedience to His creation, though it meant respectfully disagreeing with her own mother.  When someone suggested that the mo...

Don't Forget This [[-Episode 13-]]

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 13-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Think of your marriage as a special garden you are building for the sake of Allah (swt). Your kindness to your spouse is not just for him or her. It is a seed you plant for the sake of Allah (swt). Each of these seeds grows in Paradise. Ask yourself this one question: "If I left this world today, would my goodness leave a hole in my spouse's heart that no one else can fill?" This is not about being a slave. No! This is about being a smart investor for your soul. Look at the example of Nana Khadijah (RA). She was the first wife of the Prophet (PBUH). She was his comfort, his business partner, his first believer. She gave him everything. And what was her reward? At the end of her life, the Angel Jibreel came with a message from Allah HIMSELF. The message was this: She has a palace of shining pearls waiting for her in Paradise. Why? Because her service to her spouse was, in truth, her worship to...

WHEN TAQWĀ SHAPES DESTINY

 FAJR REMINDER: WHEN TAQWĀ SHAPES DESTINY By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 14, 1448 (29-July-2026) How true is the Statement of Allāh (ﷻ): “Is there any reward for good other than good?” [Sūrah Ar-Raḥmān (55): 60]  For the honesty of the milkmaid, the Khalīfah ‘Umar (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) said: “A daughter like her would be a great wife for my son. Someday she would make a good mother—strong, honest, and a great role model. Because she is so good, she should be given the greatest gift in the nation. Everyone in the nation should learn how to be good like her.” This teaches us that obedience deserves recognition, just as wrongdoing deserves accountability. It is therefore from wisdom that leaders and parents encourage righteousness by honouring those who demonstrate sincerity, honesty, and upright conduct. Rewarding good inspires others to follow the same noble path. The Khalīfah's desire for his son to marry this righteous young woman also provides valuable guidance. It reminds us that parent...

Let's continue with our studies of Surah An-Naazi'aat from verse 11 as ALLAH (azza wa jal) continues to inform us about the state of disbelievers on Judgment Day. Verse 11 أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً "Even after we have become decayed bones?" Meaning, The disbelievers argued that once their bones had decayed and crumbled, resurrection would be impossible. ALLAH (azza wa jal) repeatedly answers this misconception throughout the Qur'an. "Does man think that ALLAH (azza wa jal) will not assemble his bones? Yes indeed! WE are Able even to proportion his fingertips." (Qur'an 75:3–4). The One who created mankind from nothing can certainly recreate them. Verse 12 قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ "They said: 'That would then be a losin...

Don't Forget This [[-Episode 12-]]

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 12-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) married Aisha (r.a.) according to Allah’s command, coming from the dreams the Prophet had. *What to do when you have dreams (good or bad):* It's important to note that the truthfulness of the dream is related to the sincerity of the dreamer. Those who have the most truthful dreams are those who are the most truthful in speech. 📚Muslim, 4200 Furthermore, The most truthful of dreams are those that are seen at the time of suhoor, ie - between 3:30AM to 5:30AM [just before dawn], for this is the time when Allah (swt) descends and when mercy and forgiveness are close. It is also the time when the devils are quiet, unlike the time of darkness just after sunset, when the devils and devilish souls spread out. 📚(See Madaarij al-Saalikeen, 1/50-52) My People! Some dreams are mixed up - false dreams according to Ibn Hajar (ra). eg: 1 - Games of the Shaytan to make a person distress...

Purely for Sisters

 Purely for Sisters ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine there is a secret club. This club only opens at night when everyone is sleeping. To join this club, you must do one thing: leave your warm, comfortable bed. This club is called Tahajjud. Allah (swt) knows that leaving your bed at night is very hard (especially when the prayer is voluntary). Very few people can do it. That is why this club has the best goodies and rewards. The best gifts are kept for its members. Here is the best part: Your membership never stops. Not even during your menses. My Sister, Many women think, "I can't pray during my period, so I can't join the Tahajjud club." This is not true! Listen carefully: It is not your fault that you have your period. It is not a punishment. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Verily this is a matter Allah has written upon the girls of Prophet Adam (a.s.)…” 📚[Bukhari] When you wake up, you can: (1) Say lots of Astagfirrullah (2) R...

STANDING FIRM UPON THE TRUTH

 FAJR REMINDER: STANDING FIRM UPON THE TRUTH By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 13, 1448 (28-July-2026) Again, let us return to the remarkable story of the pious milkmaid. After overhearing the conversation between the mother and her daughter, the Khalīfah, ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu), became aware of the mother's intention. The following day, he sent a man to purchase milk from her. To his surprise and delight, the milk had not been adulterated. The young woman had remained true to her principles, refusing to obey her mother in an act of disobedience to Allāh. She recognised the difference between right and wrong and chose the pleasure of her Lord over the approval of her mother. What a remarkable example of sincerity, courage, and steadfastness! This incident offers timeless lessons for every Muslim. Abū Sa’īd al-Khudrī (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand. If he cannot do so, then with his tong...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Athalaatha | 14th day of Safar, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 28th July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullah. Let's continue with our studies of Surah An-Naazi'aat from verse 9 as ALLAH (azza wa jal) continues to inform us about the state of disbelievers on Judgment Day. Verse 9 أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ "Their eyes will be lowered in humiliation." Meaning: Their eyes will be cast down in disgrace because they can no longer deny the reality of the Hereafter. Those who were arrogant in this life will stand before ALLAH azzawajal in complete humiliation. ALLAH azzawajal says: "And all faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer." (Qur'an 20:111). Verse 10 يَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ "They say: 'Will we really be returned to our former state?'" Meaning: This records the mockery of the disbelievers in Makkah. T...

WHO IS WATCHING YOU?

 FAJR REMINDER: WHO IS WATCHING YOU? By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 12, 1448 (27-July-2026) In continuation of the story of the mother of Laylā Bint ‘Āṣim—the grandmother of ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz—we encounter a remarkable example of faith, honesty, and consciousness of Allāh. It is the story of a young milkmaid who refused to adulterate milk, not because she feared being caught by people, but because she feared Allāh. Her mother urged her to add water to the milk, saying, “We are too poor. It is the only way we can earn enough money to provide for ourselves. The Khalīfah has forgotten us, and he won’t know what we did.” Poverty, or the fear of it, has led many people into sin. Some resort to theft, bribery, embezzlement, fraud, and other unlawful means under the disguise of financial hardship. Others become so consumed by the pursuit of wealth that they no longer distinguish between what is lawful and unlawful. The reality, however, is that Allāh has already decreed everyone's sustenance. H...
