THE REWARD AND EVEN MORE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE REWARD AND EVEN MORE By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 8, 1447 (26-April-2026) The delights of Jannah are beyond anything the human mind can fully imagine. Allāh has prepared for the people of Jannah provisions, comforts, and joys that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has ever conceived. These are for those who obeyed Him in this world, stayed away from disobedience, and remained firm upon His Guidance. They knew where alcohol was sold, yet they turned away from it for His Sake. They had opportunities to commit Zinā, but they restrained themselves out of fear of Allāh. They could have pursued unlawful wealth, but they chose what was pure and lawful instead. They stood in worship, remained patient during trials, and struggled to please their Lord. For such obedience, patience, steadfastness, and sacrifice, Allāh has prepared a tremendous reward. He says: “Verily, for the Muttaqūn, there will be a success (Paradise); Gardens and grape yards; And young ful...

Think about the orphans and widows.

 Think about the orphans and widows. They see everyone preparing new clothes and tasty food for Eid al-Adha, but they have nothing. You have the power to change that. Yes. When you give even a little money to put a smile on their faces, Allah (swt) sees you. And Allah helps those who help orphans. This help might not necessarily or always giving you more money, but with peace in your heart, safety for your family, prevention of calamities or an easy way out of a hard problem you are facing. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will help a servant as long as the servant helps his fellow Muslim.” 📚Bukhari & Muslim Now remember this truth: Muslim preachers cannot go to churches and ask Christians to take care of our Muslim orphans and widows. It is not their duty—it is ours. If we do not help our own people, who will? On the day of Eid, while you are laughing with your children, some widow’s child will be crying because there is no meat, no new clothes, no joy. D...

SAWDAH’S EARLY TRIALS AND SACRIFICES

 FAJR REMINDER: SAWDAH’S EARLY TRIALS AND SACRIFICES By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 7, 1447 (25-April-2026) Our mother, Sawdah Bint Zam’ah Ibn Qays (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha), was first married to Sakrān Ibn ‘Amr (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu). When the light of Islām reached them, both of them accepted the call to Tawḥīd and submitted to Allāh. Because of this, Sawdah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) became one of the earliest women in Makkah to embrace Islām at a time when accepting the truth came with severe social danger and open hostility. Around the third or fourth year after the Prophet (ﷺ) began his mission, Allāh commanded him with the words: “Therefore proclaim openly (Allāh’s Message—Islāmic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers, etc.).” [Sūrah Al-Ḥijr (15): 94] After this command, the early Muslims began to face intense persecution from the idolaters of Makkah. Their suffering became so severe that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) p...

YOU BROUGHT ME DATES, AND DID NOT REMOVE THE SEEDS FROM THEM"

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *”YOU BROUGHT ME DATES, AND DID NOT REMOVE THE SEEDS FROM THEM"* What is the secret behind the popularity of this phrase and who said it? Omar bin Al-Khattab's attention was drawn to the fact that Abu Bakr went out to the outskirts of Medina after Fajr prayer, entered a small house for hours, and then he goes to his own house. And Omar knew everything that Abu Bakr was doing except for the secret of this house. Days have passed and the Caliph of the Believers is still visiting this house. Omar still did not know what Abu Bakr was doing, so Omar decided to enter the house after Abu Bakr left. So that he can see with his eyes and know what Abu Bakr does after the Fajr prayer. When Omar entered this little house, he found an old woman who could not move and had no one, and she is also blind. Ibn Al-Khattab was surprised by what he saw. He wanted to know what is Abu Bakr's relationship with this blind old woman, so he aske...

The Special Key

 *The Special Key* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Brothers and Sisters in Islam, every Friday, a special treasure is distributed. The key to unlocking it is far simpler: TIME. When you make the conscious effort to go for Jumu'ah prayers early, you are not just securing a seat in the mosque. You are securing a seat in the divine mercy of Allah. *The Reward of a Sacrifice:* From numerous authentic hadith, the one who goes to attend the Juma'at prayers in the First Hour is rewarded as if he has sacrificed a camel. The one who comes in the Second Hour as if he has sacrificed a cow, and then a chicken, and then an egg. 📚 Authentic. Therefore, the earlier you come, the greater the rewards. Slaves of Allah! Those who attend Jumu’ah prayer should be quiet and listen attentively to the imam when he is preaching. It is not permissible to speak to others, even if that is to tell them to be quiet. Whoever does that has engaged in idle talk (laghw), and whoever engages in idle ...

In Just 5seconds* [[- Episode 2 -]]

 *In Just 5seconds* [[- Episode 2 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم My dear Muslim brother and sister, Do you want to know a secret that will change your life forever? A secret so easy, it almost feels like a cheat code to Paradise? Listen carefully. Imagine this: You wake up in the middle of the night, just for a few minutes. You pray just two short rakaats (Nawafil). That’s it. But here is the bomb: In every rakaat, after Suratul Fatiha, you recite Suratul Ikhlas three times. Do you know what just happened? You just grabbed the rewards of finishing the complete Quran two times. Yes. Two full Qurans. In just a few minutes. At midnight. But wait. There is more. A man once heard another man reciting “Qul hu-wallaahu ‘Ahad” again and again. The next morning, the man went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said this, as if he thought it was too small, too little. The Prophet (peace be upon him) looked at him and said: “By the one in whose hand is my soul, reciting it on...

DELIBERATELY PRECEDING THE IMĀM

 FAJR REMINDER: DELIBERATELY PRECEDING THE IMĀM  By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 6, 1447 (24-April-2026) One common mistake seen during congregational prayer is that some people rush ahead of the Imām in Takbīr, Rukū’, Sujūd, and even in giving Salām. At times, a person may even notice this habit in himself without paying much attention to it. This behavior is clearly wrong, because Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said: “The Imām has been appointed to be followed (in the congregational prayers). So, when he utters the Takbīr, utter the Takbīr too, and do not utter the Takbīr until he utters it. When he bows, you should bow, and do not bow until he bows. When he says, “Sami‘ a l-lāhu liman ḥamidah,” say, “Rabbana laka l-ḥamd.” When he prostrates, you prostrate; and do not prostrate until he prostrates. If he prays standing, pray standing, and if he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting.” [Sunan Abī Dāwūd 603; classed as Ṣaḥīḥ by Shaykh al-Albānī in Irwa’ al-Ghalīl 2/121] This matter may seem ...

In Just 5seconds* [[- Episode 1 -]]

 *In Just 5seconds* [[- Episode 1 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Islam is a faith of ease. It is flexible, kind, and full of mercy. In fact, Islam is mercy for the whole world. And the biggest proof of that mercy is the Quran. The Quran is Allah’s greatest gift to us. No other book is like it. It teaches us how to be good people. When life feels too hard, when you are sad, sick, or tired—the Quran lights your way. It makes your burdens lighter. It is a source of comfort and ease. Now, here comes the mind-blowing part. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said to his companions: “Gather around, and I will recite to you one-third of the Quran.” Everyone rushed to gather. They were excited to hear so much of the Quran at once. Then the Prophet (pbuh) came out… and he recited just one short chapter. Just three lines. Surah Al-Ikhlas: “Qul hu-wallaahu ‘Ahad. Allahus-Samad. Lam yalid wa lam yoolad. Wa lam yakul-lahu kufuwan ‘ahad.” Then he went back inside. The companions were ...

BEAUTY OF THE PEOPLE OF JANNAH

 FAJR REMINDER: BEAUTY OF THE PEOPLE OF JANNAH By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 5, 1447 (23-April-2026) One of the beautiful realities of Jannah (Paradise) is that its people will not enter it in the weak and imperfect state in which we are in this worldly life. Rather, they will enter in the most complete, beautiful, and perfect form. The people of Jannah will be taller and bigger than we are today. They will be recreated in the form of our father, Ādam (‘Alayhi Salām), who was given a magnificent stature. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allāh created Ādam, making him 60 cubits tall... Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Ādam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Ādam's creation.” [Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhārī 3326] This shows that the people of Paradise will return to a noble and perfected form. Regarding the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ), “People have been decreasing in stature since Ādam's creation,” al-Ḥ...

The Mercy of the Most-Merciful

 🌷 *The Mercy of the Most-Merciful* 🌷 by Asma bint Shameem  The Mercy of the Most Merciful is boundless, unsurmountable, and BEYOND comprehension.  And His Love for us is unimaginably profound.  🌷Ibn Masud radhi Allaahu anhu said: "A person may hope for some matter of trade or position of authority, until he is close to attaining it.  Thereupon Allaah looks at him and says to His angels: "Divert it from him, for if he attains it I shall enter him into the Hellfire."  Thus, Allaah diverts it from him and the slave of Allaah remains pessimistic, saying "So and so preceded me to it, So and so outwitted me," when in fact, it is a *FAVOR* from Allaah." (Ibn Rajab in Jami al-Ulum wal Hikam) 🌷And Ibn al Qayyim said: "The divine decree related to the believer is *ALWAYS* a bounty, _even_ if it is in the form of *withholding* (that which is desired), and it is a *blessing*, even if it appears to be a *trial*.  And an *affliction* that has befallen him is i...

SIMPLE ACTS WITH GREAT REWARDS

 FAJR REMINDER: SIMPLE ACTS WITH GREAT REWARDS By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 4, 1447 (22-April-2026) I have earlier discussed some of the deeds of the people of Jannah, and this morning, I would love to add a few more. These are simple acts, yet they carry immense rewards and can become means for entering Paradise by the Mercy of Allāh. ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Amr reported: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “Verily, in Paradise, are rooms whose outside can be seen from inside and whose inside can be seen from outside.” Abū Mūsā said, “Who are they for, O Messenger of Allāh?” The Prophet said, “For those who speak mildly, feed the hungry, and spend the night standing for the Sake of Allāh while people sleep.” [Musnad Aḥmad 6615] This noble narration shows us that gentle speech, feeding others, and standing in prayer at night are among the qualities that lead to those special chambers in Jannah. A believer should never underestimate the power of kind words. Speaking softly and with wisdom can s...
