  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum al-Ithnayn | 24th day of Rabīʿ al-Thānī, 1448 AH | Monday, 5th October, 2026 HAPPINESS THROUGH PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ True happiness in a Muslim family is not found in wealth, expensive houses, or having everything we desire. True happiness grows when hearts are at peace with one another. A husband and wife should not compete against each other; rather, they should support one another in seeking the pleasure of ALLAH Azzawajal. Parents should nurture their children with love, patience, and good example, while children should respect, honour, and care for their parents. ALLAH Azzawajal says: “The believers are but brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear ALLAH that you may receive mercy.” Qur’an 49:10 Sometimes, we destroy the peace of our own homes through anger, criticism, pride, harsh words, suspicion, and refusing to forgive. Remember: you may win an argument and still lose the peace of your...

  ONE BEST CHOICE [[— Episode 2 —]] بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ “The woman with a past is often the woman with a better future.” Listen, brother. Everything that happens in this world occurs by the decree of Allah (SWT). Nothing escapes His knowledge or His wisdom. Whether marriage comes sooner or later, whether it is easy or difficult, whether it lasts a lifetime or eventually comes to an end—all of it occurs within the decree of Allah (SWT). So when a marriage ends in divorce, it did not surprise Allah (SWT). It was already within His knowledge and decree, even though it may surprise and hurt human beings. Let us be honest. A divorced woman is not automatically a bad woman. In many cases, divorce happens because two people were unable to make their marriage work. Sometimes the husband was at fault. Sometimes the wife was at fault. Sometimes both made mistakes. Sometimes circumstances beyond their control contributed to the breakdown. That is life. That is ...

  GOOD CHARACTER IS A TREASURE WORTH GUARDING Good character is a treasure worth guarding. The values planted within us can guide our conscience, restrain us when we are tempted to fall below our best, and call us back when we make mistakes. But goodness must be renewed through the choices we continue to make. Let honesty, mercy, humility, and integrity remain part of who we are, especially when compromise would be easier. May the finest qualities within us grow stronger with time and bring benefit wherever Almighty Allah places us. O Allah, make us among those whom You love. Preserve what is good within our character, correct what needs refining, and let the life You have given us lead us to a Hereafter filled with Your pleasure. Āmīn. As-Salāmu ʿAlaikum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. Good Morning.

  FAJR REMINDER: WHEN ALLĀH LOVES A SERVANT (II) Rabī‘ Al-Akhīr 23, 1448 (5 October 2026) What Deeds Bring Allāh's Love? The Prophet (ﷺ) gave us a remarkable answer in a Ḥadīth Qudsī. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me are what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawāfil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him...” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6502] Look carefully at the order. First: the obligations. Then: the voluntary deeds. This means that someone cannot abandon the obligatory prayers while imagining that voluntary worship will compensate for deliberate neglect of what Allāh has made obligatory. The five daily prayers must matter to you. Fasting Ramaḍān must matter to you. Zakāh, when obligatory, must matter to you. Being dutiful to your parents must matter to you. Avoiding what Allāh has prohibited must matter to you. Then increase your voluntary...

  FAJR REMINDER: WHEN ALLĀH LOVES A SERVANT (I) Rabī‘ Al-Akhīr 22, 1448 (4 October 2026) Many people seek Allāh's blessings, provision, protection, and forgiveness, but how many sincerely seek His Love ? There is no greater honour a servant can receive than to be loved by Allāh. Think about that for a moment. You may be loved by your parents, spouse, children, friends, teachers, colleagues, or even thousands of people who know you. But what does the love of creation mean compared with the Love of the Creator? If Allāh loves you, you have attained something greater than anything this world can offer. And if people dislike you while Allāh loves you, their dislike cannot ultimately harm you. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “When Allāh loves a servant, He calls Jibrīl and says: ‘Verily, I love this person, so you should love him.’ Then Jibrīl loves him and announces in the heavens, saying: ‘Allāh loves this person, so you should lo...

  BROTHERS’ BREAKFAST بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ It is a sad reality that, for many Muslim men, the last time they sincerely told their wives, “I love you,” “You are beautiful,” or “You are one in a million” was before the wedding—or perhaps only a few weeks after it. Like a candle that burns brightly at first but gradually flickers into darkness, the warmth of our words can fade with time. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was known to express affection and appreciation towards his wives. He would even playfully race with ‘Ā’ishah (رضي الله عنها), demonstrating that affection and playfulness have a place in marriage. 📚 (Sunan Abī Dāwūd) If the best of mankind (ﷺ) showed affection towards his wives, then who are we to withhold kind and loving words from our own wives? Imagine this: Your wife spends time choosing a beautiful outfit and adorning herself in a way that would make an outsider say, “Mā shā’ Allāh, she looks radiant!” Yet, when she walks past you or sits beside...

  FAJR REMINDER: THE LEGACY OF UMM QAYS Rabī‘ Al-Akhīr 21, 1448 AH | 3-October-2026 Some individuals embraced Islām when the journey was difficult, sacrifices were significant, and remaining firm upon faith required courage. Umm Qays (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) was among those early believers. Her early acceptance of Islām signifies more than simply being among the first. It reminds us of the importance of responding to the truth promptly, rather than waiting until the path becomes easier or more popular. When the truth becomes clear, do not hesitate to act simply because others have not yet followed. This morning, we feature Umm Qays, a Ṣaḥābiyyah who is not often discussed. She is commonly identified as Āminah Bint Miḥṣan As-Sa‘diyyah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). She was the sister of the distinguished Companion ‘Ukāshah Ibn Miḥṣan (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) and was among the early women who migrated and pledged allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ). Umm Qays's biography is a beautiful reminder that we ma...

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum As-Sabt | 22nd day of Rabee-uthaani, 1448 AH | Saturday, 3rd October, 2026 ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER TOWARDS GOODNESS, NOT CONSTANT CRITICISM BismilLah. As Muslims, we should ask ourselves: Am I helping the people I love become closer to ALLAH Azzawajal, or am I only pointing out their weaknesses? ALLAH Azzawajal says: “And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and transgression.” Qur’an 5:2 Sometimes, our husband, wife, children, parents, or friends may develop a bad habit, become weak in their worship, delay their Salaah, stop going to the Masjid, dress inappropriately, or become distracted by the dunya. Our responsibility is not simply to criticise them. Rather, we should lovingly encourage them towards what pleases ALLAH Azzawajal. A wife can lovingly say to her husband: “My dear, can you please go to the Masjid? I want you to earn the reward of praying in congregation.” A husband can gently encourage his wi...

OUR TOPIC: THE MUSLIM HOME Episode 4 Friday, 2nd October 2026 | 22 Rabee‘ al-Thaani 1448 AH PAGE 1 ✍🏻... Paying Attention to Adhkaar and Supplications from the Sunnah That Relate to the Home ➖➖➖ Adhkaar for Entering the Home Muslim reported in his Saheeh that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “When any one of you enters his home and mentions the Name of Allaah when he enters and when he eats, the Shaytaan says: ‘You have no place to stay and nothing to eat here.’ If he enters and does not mention the Name of Allaah when he enters, [the Shaytaan] says: ‘You have a place to stay.’” PAGE 2 ✍🏻... “If he does not mention the Name of Allaah when he eats, [the Shaytaan says], ‘You have a place to stay and something to eat.’” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad , 3/346; Muslim, 3/1599). Abu Daawood, may Allaah have mercy on him, reported in his Sunan that t...

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum al-Jumu‘ah | 21st day of Rabī‘ ath-Thānī, 1448 AH | Friday, 2nd October 2026 RECONCILIATION BETWEEN FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS IS A GREAT ACT OF WORSHIP Bismillāh. Assalāmu ‘Alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh, brothers and sisters in Islām. Alhamdulillāh for granting us the opportunity to witness this blessed day of the week. Sometimes, being the first person to make peace does not mean that you are the guilty one. It may simply mean that you fear Allah ‘Azzawajal more than you love your pride. You may have been hurt. You may feel that the other person should come to you first. But Islām encourages us to rise above our ego and seek reconciliation for the sake of Allah ‘Azzawajal. Our beloved Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “It is not permissible for a Muslim to forsake his brother beyond three nights... and the better of the two is the one who begins with the greeting.” So, if there is someone in your family or among your friends with whom you h...

  FAJR REMINDER: THE IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT WORSHIP Rabīʿ al-Akhīr 20, 1448 AH (2 October 2026) There is an important distinction between merely performing an act of worship and performing it correctly. A person may perform Wuḍūʾ (ablution), yet it may be invalid. They may perform Ṣalāh (prayer), yet their prayer may be incomplete or invalid. A person may fast from dawn until sunset or even perform Ḥajj, but simply carrying out these acts does not, by itself, guarantee their acceptance by Allāh. This is one of the most important realities a believer must understand: it is possible to perform an act of worship sincerely and yet perform it incorrectly. Sincerity is essential, but sincerity alone is not sufficient. Worship must also conform to the guidance of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. For an act of worship to be accepted, it must be sincerely performed for Allāh and carried out in accordance with the guidance He revealed through His Messenger ﷺ. Ṣalāh is an excellent example. It...

  بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE 🌙 Did You Know? Did you know that Allah ﷻ Himself sends blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and that His angels do so as well? Allah ﷻ says: “Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace.” 📖 Qur’an 33:56 Think about it: Allah ﷻ does this, His angels do this, and Allah commands the believers to do it too. So let us make it a regular part of our daily lives—and increase it especially on Fridays . 🤍 🌹 A Beautiful Conversation with Ubayy ibn Kaʿb رضي الله عنه Ubayy ibn Kaʿb رضي الله عنه, one of the noble Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, asked: “O Messenger of Allah, how much of my supplication should I devote to sending blessings upon you?” The Prophet ﷺ replied that he could do as much as he wished, and that increasing it would be better for him. Ubayy رضي الله عنه continued asking about different portions until he finally ...

  FAJR REMINDER: THE TRUST IN OUR HANDS By: Umm Affān Rabīʿ Al-Akhīr 19, 1448 AH | 1 October 2026 With the Permission of Allāh, I dedicate today's FAJR REMINDER to all parents, especially those who have recently been blessed with the precious gift of a child. Parenthood is far greater than the joy of hearing a little voice call out, “Mum” or “Dad.” It is an amanah—a trust that will one day be presented before Allāh. Those little hands we cherish today will one day stand before their Creator. And we will be questioned about how we fulfilled the trust He placed in our hands. As we celebrate our children, let us also pause and reflect: Are we nurturing children who will become a source of ongoing reward for us, or are we neglecting a trust for which we will be held accountable? Here are a few reflections for myself first, and then for every parent. (1) A Child Is a Gift Before Being a Responsibility Every parent should begin this journey with gratitude to Allāh, recognis...
