TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 14th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Thursday, 27th August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH continues_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suuratul Faatihah.  Verse 7.  صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ “The path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your favour.” We are not asking for an imaginary path. We are asking ALLAH Azzawajal to place us upon the path of the people who received HIS favour.  غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ “Not the path of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.” The Qur’an later identifies those people as the: Prophets, truthful, martyrs, righteous. Ibn Kathir explains that Faatihah directs the believer towards the true religion and righteous deeds, leading ultimately to success in the Hereafter.  Don't merely ask: “What do I want to do with my life?” Ask: “What path would ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased for me to follow?” Our role mo...

A Gift For You

A Gift For You ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine two gifts. One gift is wrapped in beautiful paper. The other is a simple key. The beautiful paper is nice to look at. But the key can open doors to unquantifiable treasure. Our children are a trust from Allah (swt). We love them. We want to give them everything. We work hard to give them nice clothes, good food, a safe home, and best western education. This is good. But this is the beautiful wrapping paper. The real treasure is their heart, their faith, correct islamic upbringing, the type of school they attended, and their connection to Allah. This is the key. *A Story of a Father’s Prayer (Du'a):* Think of Zayd, the father of Sa'id. Sa'id is one of the ten companions promised Paradise while on earth. His father, Zayd, wanted more than anything to meet the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). But he was killed before he could. With his last breath, he did not ask for anything for himself. He raised his eyes ...

BismilLah.    Let's continue with our studies of suuratul Faatihah.  Verse 6. اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ “Guide us to the Straight Path.” This is extraordinary. After praising ALLAH Azzawajal, recognising HIS Mercy, Remembering Judgement Day and declaring our worship, our first major request is guidance. Because without guidance, worldly blessings can actually become a means of destruction. You can have money and be misguided. You can have knowledge and be misguided. You can have power and be misguided. You can have fame and be misguided. Therefore, the believer asks ALLAH Azzawajal: “O ALLAH, keep me upon the path that pleases You.” We do not ask ALLAH Azzawajal for guidance only once. We ask for it at least seventeen (17) times a day in the obligatory prayers. Why? Because guidance is not something we obtai...

THE HONOUR OF DAUGHTERS IN ISLĀM

 FAJR REMINDER: THE HONOUR OF DAUGHTERS IN ISLĀM By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 12, 1448 (25-August-2026) It is an age-old practice among some parents to favour their sons over their daughters. But what does Islām say about such treatment? Islām teaches parents not to treat their children unfairly simply because of their gender. It strongly condemns attitudes that devalue daughters and commands parents to deal justly with all their children. Before the advent of Islām, brought by Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), some Arabs regarded the birth of a daughter as a disgrace. Allāh (ﷻ) condemned this evil attitude, saying: “And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision.” [Sūrah An-Naḥl (16): 58-59] Islām came and completely reje...

BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.   Let's continue with our studies of suuratul Faatihah.  Verse 4 مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ “Master/Owner of the Day of Judgement.” Now the suurah moves from ALLAH'S MERCY to the Day of Judgement. Why? Because a balanced Muslim must remember both: ALLAH'S MERCY  and ALLAH'S accountability. The Day of Judgement is the day when every human being will stand before ALLAH Azzawajal. No wealth will save someone merely because he was wealthy. No social status will save someone merely because he was powerful. مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ Allah is the Master of the Day of Judgement. A person may escape worldly justice, but nobody escapes ALLAH'S ultimate judgement. Verse 5. إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.” This is arguably the central verse...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER  Monday, 24th August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH_*. BismilLah.    Let's continue with our studies of suuratul Faatihah.  بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيم “In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.” Before beginning the Faatihah, we begin by mentioning ALLAH'S name. This teaches us that a believer should begin his actions with ALLAH Azzawajal, seeking HIS help, blessing and acceptance. Before you begin your work, your journey, your business, your studies, your family responsibilities, your acts of worship, remember ALLAH Azzawajal. But saying Bismillah should not become merely a habit of the tongue. We should understand what we are saying: “I am beginning this in the name of ALLAH Azzawajal.” Therefore, I should not deliberately use ALLAH'S name to begin something sinful.  الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ “All praise belongs to ALLAH, Lord of all the worlds.” This is one of the most powerful...

In Just 5minutes

 In Just 5minutes ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My dear brother and sister, Imagine you wake up in the middle of the night. Just for a few minutes. You pray only two rakaats of Tahajjud. In every rakaat, after Suratul Fatiha, you recite Suratul Ikhlas three times. Do you know what you just earned? You just grabbed the reward of finishing the complete Quran… twice. Yes. Two full recitations of the entire Quran. In two short rakaats. At midnight. How is that possible? Listen to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A man once heard someone reciting “Qul hu-wallaahu ‘Ahad” over and over. The man thought, “That’s too small. That’s not enough.” But the Prophet said: “By the one in whose hand is my soul, reciting it once is equal to one-third of the Quran.” 📚(Sahih al-Bukhari 4726) Still not shocked? Listen to this story. The Prophet Muhammad once told his companions: “Gather around. I will recite to you one-third of the Quran.” Everyone rushed, excited to hear so much. ...

The Sick Grandpa

 The Sick Grandpa ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine this. Every night, when you wake up for midnight prayer (Tahajjud), the angels in heaven see you. They know your name. They see your huge effort to defeating your desires for sleeping. The effort many Muslims have swept inside carpet. Now, imagine one night you cannot wake up for Tahajjud. Maybe you are very very sick. Or you are on a long journey. It is a real excuse. That night, the angels will look for you. They will notice you are missing. One of the angels will say, "Where is our friend today?" And then, all the angels will say together: "Write his/her name in the attendance register! Mark him/her as present!" Yes. They will write your name as if you were there, praying. Why? Because Allah is the Most Kind. And you have made Tahajjud a habit. This is why, The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: *"If a person falls ill or travels, he shall be credited with whatever good deeds he used to perform...

THE PERMANENT MAḤĀRIM THROUGH BLOOD RELATIONSHIP

 FAJR REMINDER: THE PERMANENT MAḤĀRIM THROUGH BLOOD RELATIONSHIP By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 10, 1448 (23-August-2026) In Islām, who are a woman's permanent Maḥārim (the plural of Maḥram)? And what does this relationship mean for matters of Ḥijāb, privacy, and travel? A Maḥram is a man whom a woman is permanently forbidden to marry due to a relationship of blood (lineage), breastfeeding, or marriage. Understanding who her Maḥārim are helps a Muslim woman recognise the boundaries Allāh has established concerning modesty and family relationships. Let us examine them one after another, beginning with the Maḥārim established through blood relationship. (1) HER FATHER AND GRANDFATHERS A woman's father is her permanent Maḥram. This also includes her grandfathers—her father's father, her mother's father, and all grandfathers above them. Allāh (ﷻ) tells the men: “Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers...” [Sūrah An-Nisā' (4): 23] When this ruling is applied ...

TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 9th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 22nd August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH_*. BismilLah.  We recite this suurah in every single salaat but do we really understand the spiritual Meanings of the verses? Let's begin to understand this most important act in our salaat. Suratul-Faatihah (سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ) is the opening chapter of the Qur’an and one of the greatest suurahs in Islam. It contains only seven verses, yet it summarizes the central message of the entire Qur’an: who ALLAH Azzawajal is, how we should worship HIM, our relationship with HIM, the Hereafter, and our constant need for HIS Guidance. Sheikh Ibn Kathir may ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased with him highlights these themes in his commentary on the suurah.  The Prophet ﷺ also described it as Umm al-Qur’an (Mother of the Qur’an) and the seven oft-repeated verses. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was calling people away from shirk (associating partners with ALLAH...
