THE ELDEST DAUGHTER (1)

FAJR REMINDER: THE ELDEST DAUGHTER (1) Jumādā al-Ākhirah 4, 1448 AH Saturday, 14th November, 2026. Among the distinguished women in Islamic history was Zaynab bint Muḥammad (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhā), the eldest daughter of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) and his beloved wife, Khadījah bint Khuwaylid (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhā). She embraced Islām when her father received the first revelation, but her husband, Abū al-‘Āṣ ibn al-Rabī‘, did not initially accept the message. Despite the challenges this created in her marriage, she remained steadfast in her faith. One of the most touching incidents in her life occurred after the Battle of Badr, when her husband was captured. Zaynab sent a necklace as ransom for his release. It was the very necklace her mother, Khadījah (RA), had given her as a wedding gift. When the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) saw the necklace, he recognised it and was deeply moved by the memories of his beloved wife. He asked his Companions whether they would agree to release Abū al-‘Āṣ and...

LET US REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR GOOD DEEDS, FOR STEADFASTNESS IS A PATH TO PARADISE (CONCLUSION).

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-Sabt | 4th Day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1448 AH | Saturday, 14th November, 2026. LET US REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR GOOD DEEDS, FOR STEADFASTNESS IS A PATH TO PARADISE (CONCLUSION). BismilLāh. Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh, my dear brothers and sisters in Islaam. Our goal is not merely to begin our journey as good Muslims, but to remain steadfast upon goodness until our last breath. Let us not be Muslims of Ramadhan alone, Fridays alone or difficult times alone. Let us remain Muslims every day, in every situation, until we meet ALLAH Azzawajal. Remember, Jannah is not attained through wishful thinking alone. It requires sincere faith, the mercy of ALLAH and a lifetime of striving in obedience to HIM. So, let us remain consistent: Never abandon our five daily Salah, regardless of how busy life gets. Make the Qur'an and Dhikr part of our daily routine. Give charity, even if it is small. Remain patient during trials and grateful du...

LET US AVOID SWEARING UNNECESSARILY, ESPECIALLY WHEN LYING

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaumul Jumu‘ah | 3rd Jumādā al-Ākhirah, 1448 AH | Friday, 13th November 2026 LET US AVOID SWEARING UNNECESSARILY, ESPECIALLY WHEN LYING Bismillāh. Alḥamdulillāh for granting us the opportunity to witness another blessed Friday. As Muslims, we must be mindful of our tongues and avoid making oaths in the name of Allāh (عز وجل) a habit, particularly when attempting to convince others of something that is untrue. Swearing by Allāh is a serious matter because we are invoking the name of our Creator, the Most High. His name must never be used carelessly, dishonestly, or as a means of making people believe our lies. Allāh (عز وجل) says: "And do not make Allāh's name an excuse in your oaths against doing good, being mindful of Allāh, and making peace between people." [Qur'an 2:224] The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: "Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6018; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim...

INCREASE YOUR ṢALAWĀT UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ

  THURSDAY NIGHT & FRIDAY: INCREASE YOUR ṢALAWĀT UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, The night preceding Friday begins at sunset on Thursday. It is commonly referred to as Laylat al-Jumu'ah (the night of Friday). As we approach this blessed day, let us prepare our hearts and tongues by increasing our Ṣalawāt (sending blessings and salutations) upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Who Is Raising the Next Generation of Muslims?

  FAJR REMINDER: THE NEGLECT OF CHILDREN'S TARBIYAH By: Umm ‘Affān Jumādā al-Ākhirah 2, 1448 AH | 12 November 2026 Who Is Raising the Next Generation of Muslims? One growing concern within Muslim communities today is the gradual neglect of children's spiritual and moral upbringing. Many parents devote considerable attention to providing material comfort, quality education, financial security, and opportunities for their children to succeed in life. While these responsibilities are important, some parents unfortunately overlook an even greater responsibility: nurturing their children's relationship with Allāh (ﷻ). Today, some children can excel academically, operate sophisticated smartphones, and navigate social media with remarkable ease, yet struggle with fundamental aspects of Islām, including Ṣalāh, Qur'ān recitation, good manners, and understanding their religious identity. Furthermore, many children are increasingly exposed to inappropriate entertainment, ha...

OUR TODAY'S ADMONITION: WHAT IS SABR?

  ASSALAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLĀHI WABARAKATUH OUR TODAY'S ADMONITION: WHAT IS SABR? Praise be to ALlāh. For a long time, I thought Sabr simply meant being patient and waiting for difficult situations to pass. However, the more I reflect on its meaning, the more I realise that Sabr is much deeper than that. If I were to put what I have come to understand into words, it would be this: Sabr is holding back angry words when someone fails to understand the struggles you are going through. Sabr is taking your frustration to ALlāh in heartfelt Du'a rather than allowing anger and bitterness to consume you. Sabr is forgiving someone who has hurt you, even when they never acknowledge the pain they have caused. Sabr is facing people who abandoned you with dignity, even when your heart is still hurting. Sabr is knowing when to remain silent because you have already explained yourself countless times. Sabr is fulfilling your responsibilities, even when doing so feels difficult. ...

LET US NOT SACRIFICE OUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY GAINS (CONTINUED)

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Al-Arbi‘ā’ | 1st Day of Jumādā al-Ākhirah, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 11th November 2026 LET US NOT SACRIFICE OUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY GAINS (CONTINUED) بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, Let us continue from yesterday's reminder. There is absolutely nothing wrong with aspiring to become wealthy, owning properties, establishing successful businesses, securing good employment, or providing a comfortable life for our families. In fact, earning lawful (Halal) provision, supporting our families, and spending our wealth responsibly can all become acts of worship when accompanied by sincere intentions and adherence to Islamic principles. However, we must never lose sight of our priorities. Do not sacrifice your Salah for your salary. Do not sacrifice your honesty and integrity for business profits. Do not sacrifice your Islamic identity for social acceptance. Do not compromise your Halal principles for financial o...

YOUR REAL INHERITANCE

  YOUR REAL INHERITANCE بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Imagine a life in which humanity enjoys eternal happiness, free from sickness, suffering, poverty, death, and every form of worldly hardship. That is the reality of Jannah (Paradise), which Allah (SWT) has prepared for His righteous servants. However, Paradise has different levels, and its inhabitants will not all occupy the same ranks. Their positions and rewards will differ according to the mercy, justice, and wisdom of Allah (SWT), as well as their faith and righteous deeds. The important question is: What are we doing today to secure a high position in Jannah? SERVANTS OF ALLAH! Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Verily, in Paradise are rooms whose outside can be seen from inside and whose inside can be seen from outside.” Abu Musa asked, “Who are they for, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “For those who spend the night standing for the sake of Allah while people sleep...

DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY PROFIT

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Ath-Thulāthā’ | 29th Day of Jumādā al-Ūlā, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 10th November 2026 DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY PROFIT بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Dear brothers and sisters, Ask yourselves: What is the benefit of earning money through activities that displease ALLAH Azzawajal? What is the value of increasing business profits while accumulating sins? What will we say to ALLAH Azzawajal when we stand before HIM on the Day of Judgement? Can wealth acquired through Haraam activities bring genuine Barakah into our lives? Remember that provision (Rizq) comes from ALLAH Azzawajal. We must never assume that abandoning Haraam earnings will deprive us of the provision ALLAH has destined for us. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that whoever abandons something for the sake of ALLAH, ALLAH will compensate them with something better. Therefore, let us refrain from selling alcohol and other prohibited products. We must also avoid transporting...

SMS FOR COUPLES

  SMS FOR COUPLES بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم My brother, my sister, read this message carefully. You must learn to accept your spouse for who they are. Indeed, one of the major causes of marital conflict is the habit of comparing one's husband or wife with Mr A or Mrs B whom one admires from a distance. Sometimes, we look at other people's marriages and assume that their spouses are more loving, caring, understanding and responsible than ours. We forget that we only see what they choose to show us, not necessarily what happens behind closed doors. Listen! By the time you get closer to those people you consider perfect and discover their own shortcomings, you may begin to appreciate the person you have at home. 😷 After all, nobody is entirely bad, just as nobody is entirely good. Every human being has strengths and weaknesses, including you and me. Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Qur'an: وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِۚ فَإِن كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكْرَهُوا۟ شَ...

THE BREAKDOWN OF MUSLIM FAMILIES

  FAJR REMINDER: THE BREAKDOWN OF MUSLIM FAMILIES Jumādā al-Ūlā 29, 1448 AH | Monday, 9 November 2026 Where Has Our Sense of Responsibility Gone? One of the growing concerns within Muslim communities today is the gradual erosion of family values and the increasing instability of Muslim households. Marital conflicts, rising divorce rates, domestic abuse, neglect in children's upbringing, irresponsible husbands, unappreciative wives, and unrealistic expectations fuelled by social media are increasingly challenging the foundations of many families. Sadly, some couples appear more concerned with asserting their rights than fulfilling their responsibilities. Others approach marriage as a competition in which one person must emerge victorious, rather than as a partnership founded upon love, mercy, sacrifice, cooperation, and mutual understanding. Why Are Our Homes Losing Their Stability? At the heart of this problem are weak religious commitment, selfishness, ineffective communica...

SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Ithnayn | 28th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Monday, 9th November, 2026. SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. One of the dangerous misconceptions among Muslims today is the belief that selling something Haraam becomes permissible simply because the buyer is a non-Muslim. Some Muslims argue: "I am not drinking the alcohol; I am only selling it. Besides, the person buying it is not a Muslim." However, Islam does not only prohibit Muslims from consuming what is Haraam; it also prohibits participating in, facilitating or financially benefiting from certain forbidden activities. ALLAH Azzawajal commands us not to cooperate in sin and transgression. ALLAH Azzawajal says: وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." (Qur'an 5:2). Selling alcohol, whether to a Muslim or a non-Muslim, directly facilitates the consumption an...

LETTER TO BROTHERS

  LETTER TO BROTHERS بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Religious leaders often preach patience, but rarely hold men accountable for emotional neglect within marriage. A neglected wife is frequently told to “make du‘ā” and remain patient, while the husband responsible for her emotional suffering is seldom challenged over his conduct or failure to fulfil his marital responsibilities. Furthermore, communities sometimes turn a blind eye, dismissing such situations with statements like “It is a private matter” or “She should be more patient.” Yet, as the saying goes, “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” Behind closed doors, many women carry emotional wounds and psychological scars that remain invisible to those around them. Dear Muslim brothers, Al-Qurṭubī (Raḥimahullāh) is reported to have said: “If you have power over your wife, then remember the Might of Allah; Allah’s Might is above every might. Therefore, no one should transgress against his wife, for Allah Almighty is ever w...
