OVERCOME BY COMPASSION AND CONCERN

 Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` Thursday 16 April 2027/15th Shawwal 1447 AH ` * *OVERCOME BY COMPASSION AND CONCERN*   On one occasion, ‘Umar bin ‘Abdil ‘Azeez (rahimahullah) sent an emissary to the ruler of Rome. After the emissary had concluded his mission with the ruler, he left his court and began to roam around. While roaming, he passed by a place where he could hear a man reciting the Quraan Majeed and grinding grain. He thus approached the man and greeted him with salaam two or three times, but the man did not reply to his salaam.   Finally, the man replied to his salaam and asked, “How is it that someone is making salaam to me in this land? (i.e. how is it that a Muslim is present here?)” The emissary then explained to the man that he was the emissary of ‘Umar bin ‘Abdil ‘Azeez (rahimahullah), sent to the ruler of Rome.   The emissary then asked the man regarding his condition and what he was doing in the land of Ro...

HADHRAT ABDULLAH BIN AMR (رضي الله عنه) BURNS HIS SHEET

 Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *HADHRAT ABDULLAH BIN AMR (رضي الله عنه) BURNS HIS SHEET* Hadhrat Abdullah bin Amr Ibnul Aas (رضي الله عنه) says: “Once we were accompanying Rasûlullâh (ﷺ) on a journey. I went to see him and I was wearing a saffron coloured sheet. He asked me, ‘What is this that you are wearing?’ I felt that he did not like my wearing a  cloth of that colour. When I reached home, I found a fire burning. I threw my garment into the fire. The next day when I went to Rasûlullâh (ﷺ), he inquired, ‘where is that sheet?’ I told him what I had done with it. He remarked, “You could have given it to one of the ladies in your house. Women are permitted to wear clothes of that colour.” Hadhrat Abdullah bin Amr Ibnul Aas (رضي الله عنه) was so much perturbed at Rasûlullâh (ﷺ)'s displeasure that he did not hesitate to avail of the first opportunity of doing away with the sheet that caused the displeasure. He did not even think ...

Stolen Blessing* [[----Part 5----]]

 *Stolen Blessing* [[----Part 5----]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم There was an old man called Habib. The sweet, red dates from Old Man Habib’s orchard were the greatest. They were not like other dates; they were impossibly plump, with a honeyed richness that could sweeten a whole month’s bitterness. His people believed the angels themselves watered his trees. Habib was a man of unwavering devotion. His charity was as quiet and constant as the dawn. Habib would say "My orchard is for all the community, not a possession.” But his son, Tariq, saw it differently. He saw not a gift, but a wasted opportunity. “We could be rich, Father!” he’d argue, watching the merchant caravans pass by. “We sell these dates for pennies while others grow fat on inferior fruit. This is not piety, it is foolishness!” Habib would simply shake his head. “Allah’s balance is perfect, my son. Do not tip the scales with greed.” When Habib passed away, the entire village mourned. Tariq, now in poss...

THE PERFECT LIFE OF JANNAH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE PERFECT LIFE OF JANNAH By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 27, 1447 (15-April-2026) Sleep is often described as a form of partial death. As Allāh says: “It is He, Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep)…” [Sūrah Al-An’ām (6): 60] Yet in Jannah (Paradise), sleep will not exist, because death itself will no longer exist. The life of the Hereafter is complete and perfect—free from worry, hardship, pain, or illness. In such a flawless state, there will be no need for rest or sleep. Jābir Ibn ‘Abdullāh (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: “O Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), do the people of Paradise sleep?” The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Sleep is the brother of death, and the people of Paradise do not sleep.” [al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ liṭ-Ṭabarānī 919] Even more remarkable is that the people of Jannah will be free from bodily needs such as urination and defecation. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “The firs...

The Spirit of Generosity

 Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *The Spirit of Generosity* Sayyiduna Hakeem bin Hizaam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) is a Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) who was blessed with an extraordinarily long life – he passed away at the age of one hundred and twenty! Another unique aspect of his life is that he was born inside the Ka’bah! He was among the leaders of the Quraish and was regarded to be wise and intelligent. When the leaders of the Quraish would enter Daarun Nadwah (the place of council) in order to hold meetings and discuss the affairs of Makkah Mukarramah and its people, then only those people who were forty years of age or older were allowed to participate in the discussion and give their suggestions. However, Sayyiduna Hakeem (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was an exception to this rule. On account of his wisdom and intelligence, he was admitted into Daarun Nadwah at the age of fifteen! Among his many good qualities, one quality t...

True Message

 *True Message* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم It doesn't mean that someone who frequently remembers or talk about death is ready to or will die soon. Also, it doesn't mean that someone who completely forgets about or talk about death will not die soon. What matters most is living in this world 🌎 as a someone who have not completely lost focus on the journey he or she have embarked on. This reminds me, A brother visited one of the graveyards and narrated a story of what he saw on the sign-board of that graveyard while entering the graveyard and while going out of the graveyard. Honestly speaking, the messages on that graveyard sign-board should touch every Muslim who have an ATOM of fear of Allah (swt). Yes. Guess what anybody entering and or going out of that particular graveyard will read on the graveyard sign-board: *"We were once like you"* *"You will soon be like us"* 😢😢 Anyone who have ever visited a graveyard for any reason will affirm t...

WHATEVER WE WANT

 FAJR REMINDER: WHATEVER WE WANT… By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 26, 1447 (14-April-2026) The disbelievers have long made it a habit to test the Messengers and the believers, seeking to challenge the truth of Islām. Yet, how can one truly test a man who is taught by Allāh and granted knowledge far beyond human understanding? Thawbān (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that a Jewish rabbi once came to question the Prophet (ﷺ) about certain matters. The Jew asked: “What will be presented to them (i.e. the people of Jannah) first when they enter Paradise? He said: “Caudate lobe of whale liver.” He said: “What food will be given to them after that? He said: “The bull of Paradise, which used to graze along its edge, will be slaughtered for them.” He said: “What will their drink be?” He said: “From a spring there that is called Salsabīl.” [Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim 315] Indeed, Jannah (Paradise) is a place of pure enjoyment, where its people will delight in eating and drinking without hardship or limitation. Allāh s...

 ✨ DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER ✨ Yaum Athalaatha | 26th Shawwāl, 1447 AH | Tuesday, 14th April 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH Al-A‘LAA (Qur’an 87)_*. BismilLah.  CONTEXT / BACKGROUND OF THE SUURAH: Suurah Al-A‘la was revealed in Makkah early in the Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It came at a time when: The message of Islam was still new and being rejected by many in Makkah. The Prophet ﷺ was being reassured and strengthened. The focus was on Tawheed (Oneness of ALLAH), revelation, and accountability.  This Suurah emphasizes on: Glorifying ALLAH Azzawajal,  Trusting in divine revelation, The success of those who purify themselves, A reminder that guidance has always been sent before (e.g., scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa). Verse 1 سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal commands us to declare HIS perfection, HE is above all نقص (imperfection). This includes saying SubḥānAllāh and living in a way that hono...

MEN AND WOMEN IN PARADISE

 FAJR REMINDER: MEN AND WOMEN IN PARADISE By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 25, 1447 (13-April-2026) Men and women share equally in the promise of Jannah (Paradise). Whoever truly believes, performs righteous deeds, and dies upon Eemān (Belief)—whether male or female—will be granted entry into Paradise. This is a clear and beautiful assurance from Allāh: “Allāh has promised to the believers – men and women, - Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allāh. That is the supreme success.” [Sūrah At-Tawbah (9): 72] Furthermore, the blessings of Jannah include being reunited with one’s righteous spouse. A man who enters Paradise will be joined by his believing wife (or wives) who also attained it. Allāh says: “Enter Paradise, you and your wives, in happiness.” [Sūrah Az-Zukhruf (43): 70] And He also says: “They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.” [...

THE ILLUSION OF REFLECTION

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ ` * *THE ILLUSION OF REFLECTION* Once there was a king who had presented his daughter, the princess, with a beautiful diamond necklace. The necklace went missing & his people in the kingdom searched everywhere but could not find it. Some said a bird might have stolen it. The king then put a reward for $50,000 for anyone who found it. One day a clerk was walking home along a river next to an industrial area. This river was completely polluted, filthy & smelly. As he was walking, he saw something shimmering in the river . To his surprise it was the diamond necklace. He felt so happy. If only he could get the necklace out, that would mean the $50,000 reward would be his. He put his hand into the filthy river & grabbed at the necklace, but somehow missed it.Taking his hand out, he looked again. The necklace was still there. He tried again & again. Just when he thought he caught it, he missed. Finally he decided to wade into t...

Stolen Blessings* [[---- Part 3 ----]]

 *Stolen Blessings* [[---- Part 3 ----]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم We often fall into the trap of believing that success is a simple formula: hard work + talent + opportunity = desired outcome. While these elements are important, for a Muslim, they are merely the visible tools. The true, unseen force that gives these tools their efficacy is Barakah—the blessing of Allah. My People, Allah's blessings are not just in wealth, but in time, health, peace of mind, and spiritual contentment. However, these blessings are not unconditional. They are a trust from Allah, and our actions can either increase them or cause them to be diminished or even removed. The Quran and Sunnah highlight several actions that can lead to this spiritual poverty: *Action No 1:* Ingratitude (Kufr al-Ni'mah): This is the primary cause. Failing to acknowledge that every good we have is from Allah, and instead attributing success to our own intellect or effort, is a grave form of ungratefulness....

Life will go on

 *Life will go on* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم When you pass away, do not worry about your dead body as fellow Muslims will take good care of it. They will take off your clothes, wash your body up, and wrap it in a clean white shroud. They will take you to your new house, the grave. Many are those who will escort you to your final resting place; many will even cancel their businesses to see you off. You can rest easy knowing that the world will not collapse or even mourn you; life will go on, and your job will be taken by another. Your spouse will be taken by another. Your property will be legally distributed among your heirs whereas you will be brought to account for every moment of life in this world. According to the degree of affinity with others, the period they will spend to mourn you will vary. Eventually, you will be completely forgotten and assigned a special place on the shelf of memories. Believe it or not, the above is nothing but the truth! Hence, your st...
