 FAJR REMINDER: THOSE WHO HAVE TAQWĀ… By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 16, 1447 (2-June-2026) Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) was commanded through a dream to sacrifice his beloved son, Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām). This was undoubtedly one of the greatest and clearest tests of faith ever placed upon a servant of Allāh. Yet, without hesitation, Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) hastened to fulfil what he had seen, demonstrating complete submission to the Command of Allāh and unwavering obedience to Him. Because of his remarkable devotion, Allāh (ﷻ) praises him, saying: “And of Ibrāhīm who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allāh ordered him to do or convey).” [Sūrah An-Najm (53): 37] As a reward for his sincerity and obedience, Allāh replaced Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām) with a sacrificial animal. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram), and We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times. Salāmun (peace) be upon Ibrāhīm! Thus i...

 *Ruqaiyyah's Life* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Ruqaiyyah, lived a life of full-time Muslim. She prayed Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY without missing. She died when Zainab was young. Before her death, she held Zainab’s hand. Her last words were: "Never you be a part-time Muslim who doesn't establish Tahajjud consistently for any reason. Be like me." After her mother died, Zainab’s father married another woman. This woman was Zainab’s stepmother. She did not love Zainab. For twenty years, she hated her. This stepmother had a dark wish. She wanted Zainab to fail. She wanted her to be poor, to be alone, and to have no happiness. She even wanted her to die. She tried many bad things, but none worked. Zainab remembered her mother’s words. Every night, when the house was dark and quiet, she would wake up. She would pray Tahajjud. Something amazing happened. Every evil plan the stepmother made for Zainab... did not touch Zainab. Instead, it went back. It returned to t...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum al-ithnayn | 15th day of Dhul-Ḥijjah, 1447 AH | Monday, 1st June, 2026.  *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-INFITAR (Qur’an 82) WITH CONTEXT / HISTORICAL BACKGROUND continues_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Infitar with Verse-by-Verse Meanings & Commentary Verse 1: إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ When the sky is cleft asunder. The suurah begins with a vivid apocalyptic image. The “splitting of the sky” symbolizes the end of the current world order. It reminds us that nothing is permanent and the Day of Judgment is inevitable. Verse 2: وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ And when the stars are scattered. Stars, which seem fixed and eternal, will be dispersed. This reminds humans of their limited understanding and the transient nature of the material universe. Verse 3: وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ And when the seas are erupted. The oceans will overflow and reveal the immense power of ALLAH Azzawajal. It serves as a metaphor for t...

 FAJR REMINDER: READY TO SLAUGHTER By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 15, 1447 (1-June-2026) The command given to Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) to slaughter his beloved son, Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām), was among the greatest tests ever faced by a human being. When he informed his son about the divine command, Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām) responded with complete submission and promised to remain patient. Thus, both father and son wholeheartedly accepted the Decree of Allāh. Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) demonstrated obedience to his Lord, while Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām) showed obedience to both Allāh and his father. Concerning this remarkable moment, Allāh (ﷻ) says: “Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allāh), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering).” [Sūrah Aṣ-Ṣāffāt (37): 103] Commenting on this verse, Ibn Abbās, Mujāhid, Sa'īd Ibn Jubayr, Ad-Dahhak, and Qatādah said: “And he had laid him prostrate on his forehea...

 *Wake Up Call* [[-4th Episode-]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Dear Muslim, listen carefully. This could change your life forever. You know that beautiful feeling in Ramadan? Waking up for Tahajjud, whispering your secrets to Allah (swt), feeling so close to Him. Why did you stop because Ramadan and first ten days of Dhul-hjjah is gone? Was Ramadan the only time Allah (swt) listened? Was Dhul-Hijjah the only time Allah (swt) came close to you? No. Never. Listen to what the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And let these words shake your heart: "Our Lord Almighty descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night, saying: Who is calling upon Me that I may answer him? Who is asking from Me that I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness that I may forgive him?" 📚Source: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 1145, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 758 Read that again. Slowly. Allah did NOT say: "I only descend in Ramadan." Allah did NOT say: "...

 *Wake Up Call* [[-3rd Episode-]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) did not stop being Lord after Ramadan and the first ten days of dhul-hjjah. Muslims today are of two categories: "the part-time Muslims and the full-time Muslims." The part-time Muslims are those who will return to their old self after Ramadan and dhul-hjjah: not reading Qur'an everyday: becoming weaker in all acts of worship. The full-time Muslims increase their good deeds. They work even harder after Ramadan and dhul-hjjah. This reminds me, Ustaz Abdulqadir wasn’t a scholar. He was not a part-time Muslim but a FULL-TIME MUSLIM. Yes. From Ramadan to Ramadan, he hardly missed reciting Qur'an outside swalah. And in his house, every morning after Fajr prayer, the Qur’an recitation started playing. It was the background while his children got ready for school. When he left for his business centre, the Qur’an travelled with him, its divine verses emanating from a small speaker on his ...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul ahad | 14th day of Dhul-Ḥijjah, 1447 AH | Sunday, 31st May 2026.  *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-INFITAR (Qur’an 82) WITH CONTEXT / HISTORICAL BACKGROUND_*. BismilLah.  Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to resume our studies of the Qur’an. Suurah Al-Infitar vividly describes the events of the Day of Judgment and the signs of the approaching end of the world. The imagery of the sky splitting and the stars scattering emphasizes the absolute power of ALLAH Azzawajal and the certainty of resurrection. It reminds us that deeds, good or bad, are recorded and will be judged, urging accountability and moral consciousness. This suurah was revealed at a time when the Prophet ﷺ faced ridicule from the disbelievers regarding the Hereafter. It emphasizes that all creation bears witness to the reality of the Day of Judgment, and that human actions are tracked and will have consequences. It’s a warning and a reminder to reflect on our lives and our...

 Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter Twenty-Five: Tears Before Asr and Understanding After Pain It was almost the time of Asr prayer, and the light inside the house had begun to shift gently, becoming softer as the afternoon slowly moved toward evening. The atmosphere was calm, but the emotional weight from the earlier conversation still remained in the room like something invisible but deeply felt. My eyes were still filled with tears, and I could no longer hold them back or hide them. They were not tears of weakness alone, but tears that came from years of experiences finally reaching a moment of expression. I tried to wipe them quietly, but they kept returning because what we had just spoken about had opened emotions that had been buried for a long time. Ghurobah looked at me carefully, her small face filled with confusion and concern. Ghurobah: “Mama, why are you crying?” Before I could respond, Julaybib gently placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke in a calm v...

 Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter Twenty-Four: Truth After Dhuhr Immediately after the Dhuhr prayer, we returned home together, and there was a different kind of silence in the house, not the silence of sadness, but the silence of expectation. It felt like everyone already knew that something important was about to be said, even though no one had yet spoken about it openly. Sibghatullah and Ghurobah quickly settled down in the middle of the sitting room as I had asked, sitting closely together while their father positioned himself opposite them. I sat slightly to the side, watching carefully, sensing that this conversation would carry both emotional weight and long-overdue understanding. Julaybib placed his hands together calmly and looked at them for a moment before speaking. Julaybib: “Today, I want you both to hear something not as children only, but as people who are growing into understanding life.” Sibghatullah nodded slightly. Sibghatullah: “Is it another st...

 Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter Twenty-Three: Rain, Qur’an, and Smiles After Years of Trials It was one of those mornings where the sky carried a soft rain that fell gently without anger, and the air was cool enough to make everyone stay indoors or gather under shelter. The whole environment felt calm, and for once, there was no rush, no hospital worry, no urgent stress about sickness or medication. It felt like a small break had been written into our lives, even if only for a short time. We were all together in one space, myself, my husband Julaybib, and our children Sibghatullah and Ghurobah. The sound of rain tapping lightly on the surroundings created a peaceful background that made everything feel softer than usual. Sibghatullah was sitting comfortably, holding a Qur’an, while Ghurobah stayed close to me, watching everything with curiosity. Julaybib suddenly looked at Sibghatullah with a playful expression, the kind of expression that meant something mischie...

 Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter Twenty-Two: When Blessings Finally Speak Clearly Alhamdulilah, it had been exactly fifteen years since we got married, and when I looked back at everything that had happened within that period, it felt like I was reviewing a life that had passed through different seasons of ease, difficulty, silence, and understanding. Time had moved in a way that did not feel slow or fast anymore, but meaningful in a way that could only be understood through reflection. Sibghatullah had now grown into a young boy on the path of adulthood, approaching fourteen years of age, while his younger sister Ghurobah was approaching seven years old. They were no longer small children in the way we once knew them, because their personalities, awareness, and understanding had begun to develop in ways that showed growth and maturity. Sibghatullah was already in Senior Secondary School 2 and preparing to move into SS3, while Ghurobah had just completed her prima...
