WHAT MAKES GHUSL OBLIGATORY?

 FAJR REMINDER: WHAT MAKES GHUSL OBLIGATORY? By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 9, 1448 (24-July-2026) Ghusl is the complete ritual washing of the entire body prescribed in Islām to attain purification after major impurity before performing acts of worship such as Ṣalāh. Without Ghusl, the Ṣalāh of a person who is in a state of major ritual impurity is invalid. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “...If you are in a state of Janābah (i.e., had a sexual discharge), purify yourself (bathe your whole body)...” [Sūrah Al-Mā'idah (5): 6] There are certain situations in which Ghusl becomes obligatory. They include the following: 1. Sexual Intercourse: Ghusl becomes obligatory when sexual intercourse takes place through the meeting of the two circumcised parts, that is, when the head of the male organ enters the vagina, whether ejaculation occurs or not. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Prophet of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “When a man sits between the four parts (arms and legs of his wife) and has intercourse with ...

What you Missed

 What you Missed ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think of it like this: You have a shop. You open it every day. You sell good things. You are a good shopkeeper. But you always close your shop right before your richest customer arrives. This customer wants to give you huge amount of Diamond & Gold, but you are never there. This is what happens when we sleep throughout the night without establishing Tahajjud. My People, Allah (swt) says that in the last part of the night, HE comes close to the earth and asks: "Who is calling Me, so I can answer them? Who is asking Me, so I can give them? Who needs forgiveness, so I can forgive them?" 📚 Authentic hadith Slaves of Allah! You might be a good Muslim in every way. But if you are not praying Tahajjud, then, you are like that shopkeeper😃. Yes. You are missing your richest Customer. You are losing something very huge. In fact, The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “What an excellent man Abdullah is! If only he could be pe...

TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Jumuat | 10th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Friday, 24th July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah.  Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week.  Let's continue with our brief studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat. In yesterday's reminder, we studied about ALLAH Azzawajal swearing by HIS Angels who extract the souls of disbelievers forcefully. ALLAH Azzawajal then swear by HIS Angels who extract the souls of believers in the next verse.  Verse 2 وَٱلنَّاشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا "And by those Angels who removes the souls of believers gently." The souls of believers leaves easily because it longs to meet ALLAH Azzawajal. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "Indeed, those who say, 'Our Lord is ALLAH and remain steadfast, the Angels descend upon them saying: 'Do not fear nor grieve, but receive glad tidings of Paradise.'" (Qur'an 41:30). The ease or hardship...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 8--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 8--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think of it like this: You want to go to a new place. You need a map. The stories of Prophets and early Muslims is nothing but a map. They show you the way to a good, happy, and fulfilled life. Please, open your Qur'an App, read the translation of verse 3 to 6 of Surah Maryam. We will all read that Prophet Zakariyyah (AS) was an old man. His bones were weak. His hair was white. His wife could not have children. In our world today, someone with this situation might just give up. They would say, "It is impossible." But what did Prophet Zakariyyah do? He did not look at his problems and feel sad. He did not give up hope. Instead, he turned to Allah (swt) with a very sincere and private prayer. He told Allah all his problems, and then he asked. He believed, without a single doubt, that Allah could do anything. Even something that seemed impossible. Allah (swt) answered his prayer and gave him a...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 7--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 7--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم The people in the Qur’an are not like characters in a storybook. They are not for entertainment. They are your teachers. Look at Nana Maryam (A.S). She was in a situation that looked impossible. People would talk. They would not understand. She had no human answer to give them. What did she do? She did not panic or cry. She did not scream. She trusted Allah (swt). Completely. She knew Allah (swt) brought her into this problem, so Allah would bring her out. And Allah actually did. Allah (swt) did what only Allah can do. Yes. He made the baby - Prophet Isah, speak! He said, “I am the servant of Allah.” 📚[Qur’an chapter 19 verse 29-30] Prophet Isah (A.S), speak from the cradle! Allah did not just solve Nana Maryam's problem. He defended her purity in front of her people that day, and then He defended her forever by putting the story in the Qur’an. This is a powerful lesson for you and me, right now. Yo...

TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79)

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 9th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Thursday, 23rd July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79)_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our Qur’an studies from Qur’an 79, suurah An-Naazi'aat verses 1-5 which speaks about Oaths by the Angels carrying out ALLAH'S commands. Historical Context of the Sūrah. suurah An-Naazi'aat was revealed in Makkah during the early period of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ mission . At that time, the Quraysh strongly denied the Resurrection, mocked the Hereafter, and rejected the Prophet's message. The suurah begins with a series of solemn oaths by ALLAH Azzawajal. These oaths draw attention to the unseen world, particularly the Angels responsible for carrying out ALLAH’S commands, especially concerning the taking of souls and managing the affairs of creation. The opening verses emphasize that the Resurrection is certain and that every soul will eventually meet its Creator. Verse 1 وَٱلنَّازِع...

BEWARE OF DEFAMING THE PROPHETS

 FAJR REMINDER: BEWARE OF DEFAMING THE PROPHETS By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 8, 1448 (23-July-2026) The fourth category of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DEFAMATION OF THE PROPHETS, which includes rejecting any of Allāh’s Prophets and Messengers or speaking against their honour, truthfulness, or noble character. Since belief in all the Prophets and Messengers is one of the pillars of Eemān, denying or insulting any of them nullifies one’s Islām and Eemān. Among the forms of this nullifier are the following: • Denying any of the Messengers whom Allāh sent before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), or rejecting the authentic accounts of them, their nations, or their messages as reported in the Qur'ān or in the authentic Aḥadīth of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And whosoever disbelieves in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away.” [Sūrah An-Nisā' (4): 136] • Rejecting the Messengership of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). The testimony...

THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SHAYTAN: TO MAKE YOU DIE UPON KUFR

 *THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SHAYTAN: TO MAKE YOU DIE UPON KUFR* Shaytan is patient. He has only one mission:   *"O son of Adam, I will not leave you until I make you die upon disbelief."* He doesn’t attack everyone the same way. He studies you first. *1. HIS STRATEGY: START SMALL, END IN KUFR* Shaytan is a strategist. He moves in steps. *Example 1: Music Addiction*   It starts with: "Just one song to relax"   Then: Playlists all day. Headphones in Salah time.   Then: You can’t sleep without music.   Then: Music in the car, music while cooking, music over Quran.   *The end:* A person dies in an accident with earphones on, or on the hospital bed singing a chorus instead of saying _La ilaha illallah_.   Nauzubillah. That was the plan all along. *Example 2: Desires & Relationships*   It starts with: "Just chatting"   Then: Haram relationship.   Then: Zina becomes normal.   Then:...

RAISING CHILDREN UPON MURĀQABAH (Knowing Allah Is Always Watching)*

 *RAISING CHILDREN UPON MURĀQABAH (Knowing Allah Is Always Watching)* One of the greatest ways to nurture a child is to teach them that Allah is always watching them. Do not make yourself the center of their obedience by saying, "I'm watching you." Instead, connect their hearts to Allah. Teach them that..... "My dear child, pray your salaah and stay away from what Allah has forbidden, because Allah sees you wherever you are.  Nothing is hidden from Him - Even if a deed is as small as a mustard seed and is hidden inside a huge rock, or in the heavens, or deep within the earth, Allah will bring it forth on the Day of Judgment. So always fear Allah and remember that He is watching you." When a child grows up knowing that Allah sees them at all times, not only when their parents are present. they develop sincerity, honesty, and taqwā. Allah says: "O my son! Indeed, if it should be the weight of a mustard seed and should be within a rock or anywhere in the heave...

Women-in Islam*🌸

 *Women-in Islam*🌸 In Islam, a woman is honored. Allah created men and women from one soul and made them equal in humanity and in reward. "Whoever does righteousness, male or female, while a believer  We will give them a good life" An-Nahl 16:97. What matters to Allah is taqwa, not gender. The Prophet ﷺ raised the status of women. He said: "The best of you are best to their women"and "Paradise is under the feet of mothers".  He taught women, gave them rights to knowledge, wealth and inheritance. The Sahābiyāt like Khadijah and Aisha were businesswomen, scholars and teachers. The Salaf guarded women with hijab and hayaa, not to oppress, but to protect their honor. For them a woman’s strength was her deen, her home, and raising generations. So a woman in Islam is not weak. She is a servant of Allah with rights, knowledge and great reward. Her value is in iman, not in imitating men. May Allah make us like the believing women of the Qur’an and Sunnah  _Umm Ay...

Significance of Dreams in Islaam

 🌷*Significance of Dreams in Islaam*🌷 by Asma bint Shameem  Dreams can be of three kinds:  1️⃣ *The good dream*- that’s from Allaah  🍃Ibn ‘Abbaas Radhi Allaahu anhu said:  “The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ drew back the curtain and the people were lined up in rows behind Abu Bakr.  He said: “O people, there is nothing left of the glad tidings of Prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or that is seen for him.” (Saheeh Muslim 479)    2️⃣ *The bad dream* - the nightmares, the ones you worry about- that’s from the Shaytaan. 3️⃣ *The thoughts that we’ve been thinking about* - that’s from the person’s own subconscious mind.  So for example, if we’ve been cooking all day and preparing for a special dinner, we might dream about it too.  Or a student studying hard might dream of himself taking an exam etc.  🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said: “Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan.”  (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 🍃 Shay...

CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 8th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 22nd July, 2026. *_CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh. A kind clarification: to those who know me personally, especially regarding my ongoing divorce topic. Please know that my Islamic reminders are never based on my personal experiences or directed at anyone. I simply share whatever beneficial topic comes to mind. If a reminder happens to relate to someone's situation, it is purely coincidental. ALLAH (عز وجل) is my Witness that I never intend to target or indirectly address anyone. Back to our topic... One of the greatest responsibilities that remains after divorce is the father's continuous financial support for his children. Divorce ends the marital relationship, but it never ends a father's obligation towards his children.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: "Mothers may breastfeed their children f...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 7, 1448 (22-July-2026) Another aspect of denying Allāh’s Perfect Names and Attributes is to ascribe to others an Attribute that belongs exclusively to Him. Among these exclusive Attributes is the knowledge of the Ghayb (the unseen or hidden). This is a quality that no one possesses except Allāh. He (ﷻ) says: “And with Him are the keys to the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record.” [Sūrah Al-An’ām (6): 59] The knowledge of the unseen is one of the matters that Allāh has reserved for Himself alone. However, out of His Wisdom, He may reveal whatever portion of it He wills to His chosen Messengers through Revelation. This is not because they possess independent knowledge of the unseen, but be...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 6, 1448 (21-July-2026) The true reality of Allāh’s Attributes is beyond the complete comprehension of the human mind. We affirm them according to their apparent meanings in a manner that befits His Majesty, while leaving the knowledge of their exact reality to Allāh Alone. It is a grave error and a form of misguidance to divert the words that Allāh used to describe His Attributes from their established meanings in the Arabic language to obscure or unintended interpretations. For example, Allāh (ﷻ) says: “The Most Beneficent (Allāh) Istawā (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).” [Sūrah Ta-Ha (20): 5]  It is incorrect to reinterpret Istawā (meaning ascension) as Istīlā' (meaning to take over). Shaykh Muḥammad ‘Amīn Ash-Shanqītī (Raḥimahullāh) said: “This type of interpretation of the Divine Attributes is a form of distortion.” [Minhāj wa Dirāsāt li Ayāt al-Asmā' wa aṣ-Ṣ...
