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...

THE HOURIS OF JANNAH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE HOURIS OF JANNAH By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 24, 1447 (12-April-2026) How delightful and breathtaking Jannah (Paradise) truly is! Its beauty and comfort are so overwhelming that even the one with the least share of its blessings will feel as though he possesses the greatest fortune of all. Abū Sa’īd Al-Khudri (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The lowest of people in status in Paradise will be a man whose face Allāh turns away from the Fire towards Paradise, and shows him a tree giving shade. He will say, ‘O Lord, bring me closer to that tree so that I may be in its shade… Then he will enter his house (in Paradise) and his two wives (from among Al-Ḥūr al-'ayn) with large and dark eyes will come in and will say to him, ‘Praise be to Allāh who brought you to life for us and brought us to life for you.’ Then he will say, ‘No one has been given what I have been given.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 188] From the immense favors that Allāh has prepared for the believ...

THE HIDDEN GUARDIAN

Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *THE HIDDEN GUARDIAN* Ibn Jad'aan had many camels, at that time it was considered the ultimate wealth of the Arabs. During Spring times Ibn Jad’aan used to go out. He would see good and healthy fat camels and their udders filled to the extent of almost exploding. Whenever the little offspring (i.e. the calf) came close to the mother camel, her milk would pour forth because of the great abundance of blessings and abundance of goodness. So, I (Ibn Jad’aan) looked at one of my she camels with her healthy calf, whose udder was so full of milk and I remembered my poor neighbour who had seven young daughters. So, I said to myself, by Allah I will give this camel and her calf as Sadaqah (charity) to my neighbour – and he recited the Ayah where Allah said: لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ *“By no means Shall you Attain piety and righteousness unless you spend in Allah’s cause of which that y...

THE DUMB BOY

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   ` * *THE DUMB BOY* There was once a rich man with tremendous wealth. He was a landlord. However, the man had a dumb son who had very little intelligence. The people called the son a stupid. One day, the rich man called his son & told him to make him some tea. When the son brought the tea to his father, the father took one sip from the cup & to his surprise, it was very delicious. He asked his son about how the tea was made. The son replied, “I went to the backyard to look for some firewood. But, since it was raining, all the wood was wet. So, I went to the place where u store your money & picked up a lot of notes. Then I burnt all the paper money to make the tea.” The father was horrified...The tea that tasted very good in the beginning to him now tasted like poison. All of us reading this story is thinking that the son is indeed really dumb. Why???... Because he burnt money just to make a cup of tea. But let's think d...

A RECAP ABOUT BINT AL-ḤĀRITH

 FAJR REMINDER: A RECAP ABOUT BINT AL-ḤĀRITH By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 23, 1447 (11-April-2026) She grew up as a princess in her father’s home and later became a queen in the household of her husband. More importantly, she was a sincere and courageous servant of Allāh. Through her marriage to the Prophet (ﷺ), she was elevated to the noble rank of being among the Mothers of the Believers. What a tremendous honor granted to our mother, Juwayriyah Bint Al-Ḥārith (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha)! Her life was a shining example of devotion and righteousness. She passed away in the year 50 A.H at the age of sixty-five, and her funeral prayer was led by Marwān Ibn al-Ḥakam, who was the Governor of Madīnah at the time. Juwayriyah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) was well known for her commitment to Ṣalāt (prayer), Sawm (fasting), and giving Ṣadaqah (charity). Like the other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ), she was remarkably generous. These are qualities every Muslim should strive to embody and uphold. Indeed, prayer, fasting...

THE ADVICE OF UMĀMAH BINT AL-HĀRITH TO HER DAUGHTER, UMM IYYĀS, ON THE NIGHT OF HER MARRIAGE

 *THE ADVICE OF UMĀMAH BINT AL-HĀRITH TO HER DAUGHTER, UMM IYYĀS, ON THE NIGHT OF HER MARRIAGE* Umāmah Bint Al-Hārith said to her daughter when she was being sent off to her husband:  *My dear daughter, if advice were to be left off due to the refinement of one's manners then you would be in no need of that. However, it is a reminder for the heedless and useful tool for the intelligent. If it were that a woman could go without a husband due to the wealth of her parents and their great need for her then you would be the least of the people in need for that. However, the women have been created for the men and the men for the women.* *My dear daughter, you have left the environment from which you have sprouted and left the life which you have grown up in, going to a home that you do not know and a companion that you are unfamiliar with. He has become, by his authority over you, an overseer and a king. So be a slave to him and he will be a willing servant to you.* *My dear daught...

Story of Jamil* [[--Part 1/2]]

 Chief Admin: *Story of Jamil* [[--Part 1 of 2--]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Before the story of brother Jamil, read this and reflect wisely: Anyone who has ever been on an out-of-town journey would testify to the pre-travel stress and jitters. One aspect of the preparations is to make sure that, once the packing is done and the travel arrangements are made, everything the traveller leaves behind—from his belongings and house to his family—is protected and cared for until his return. This analogy finds its deepest truth in the life of a Believer. Our ultimate journey is to the Akhirah, a voyage that begins with our death. The wise traveller does not only prepare for the journey itself with acts of worship and righteousness, but he also ensures that what he leaves behind in the world continues to benefit him long after he has departed. My People, Among the most precious provisions for this journey is the midnight prayer, Tahajjud. It is the secret conversation with y...

LOSING JANNAH IS THE GREATEST LOSS

 FAJR REMINDER: LOSING JANNAH IS THE GREATEST LOSS By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 21, 1447 (9-April-2026) Why should we not strive earnestly for Jannah (Paradise)? Jannah is a dwelling of indescribable beauty, filled with magnificent gardens, flowing rivers, and a radiant light beyond human imagination. Its peaceful environment and endless blessings reflect the Mercy of Allāh, granting everlasting joy and comfort to those who enter it. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported: Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) once described Paradise saying: “Allāh said: I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human heart has conceived. Recite the verse if you wish: No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort.” (32:17) [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3244, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2824] Indeed, the believers are promised immense delight and everlasting pleasure.
