*WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND TRIALS YOUR TROUBLES ARE OVER* I like to share with you a winning strategy that has kept me ahead of all my trials and challenges. If this humble suggestion from me is all you can read  and implement in your life, I am very confident you will praise Allah for ever for granting you the keys to true success. Those who  understand trials are never affected by it whether it comes by way of honour or humiliation, prosperity or adversity, promotions or demotions, appointments or disappointments, appreciation or lack of it. A trial is defined as whatever comes your way as a human being whether good or bad. Allah says we shall test you with what you consider as bad and what you consider as good. Both are trials. Read Quran 21 vs 35. So when you are granted life, do not over rejoice, you are on trial. Your Lord wants to test you and discover what you will do with what you have been blessed with and what you have been denied.  *SECRET 1:* Be grateful over what you hav

*MY LETTER TO YOU POLYGYNIST OR FUTURE POLYGYNIST...*  *DEAR BROTHERS!* However, some men condemn the "jealousy" in women, do you think its easy for your wife to be in her room all alone, knowing that her husband is with her co-wife? She used to spend all day and all night with you but now she has to share with someone, do you think its easy? She used to have you to herself 7 days in a week, but now she only gets to see you once in 4 days, if you stay with her on monday, the next time she will be with you is on friday again. Do you think its easy? It's easy for a man to preach polygyny because he is at the receiving end but its harder for the women because they are at the sacrificial end, however both parties are sacrificing for eachother. You don't still see the big deal in a woman being jealous right? Imagine a brother who is a co-worker with your wife in her workplace, bringing your wife home in his motorcycle, how would you feel when you see your wi

[Qur'an 20:124] It is narrated that Umm al-'Alā' (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: "The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) visited me when I was sick and said: 'Be of good cheer, O' Umm al-'Alā', for by means of a Muslim's sickness Allāh takes away his sin as the fire take away the dross of silver.'" This does not mean that we should breed germs in our bodies or be careless about seeking medical treatment on the basis that sickness erases sin. Rather, we should seek healing and cure, whilst still bearing the sickness with patience and seeking reward for the pain from Allāh. We should regard it as a means of storing up

Al-Hajjaj asked Ibn `Umar, "How are you?"  Ibn `Umar replied, "I am all right," Al-Hajjaj asked, "Who wounded you?" Ibn `Umar replied, "The  person who allowed arms to be carried on the day on which it was forbidden to carry them (he meant  Al-Hajjaj)."

And know that Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), and Worthy of all praise. *COMMENTARY* According to the English proverb "charity covers a multitude of sins." Such a sentiment is strongly disapproved in Islam. Charity has value only if: 1. Something good is given. 2. Which has been honourably earned or acquired by the giver, or 3. Which can be referred to as a bounty of Allāh. ➖1. May include things as are of

He won't allow you to work with men, nor will he let you upload selfies on to Instagram or these 'couple pictures' because he's a real man and he has gheerah. Have u seen a mufti menk and Bilal Filip or Dr Zakir and his wife pictures online before🤷🏻‍♂🤣🤣 So when you fantasize over beards and trousers above the ankles and say you want to marry a man of the sunnah, know that you must be a woman of the sunnah too not those type of dancing scorpion with tight jeans and leggy trousers shaking the hips like serpent tails left to right.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 5th day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Tuesday 31st of December, 2019).  *QUESTION: As a Muslim convert smoker, fornicator etc, I find it difficult if not impossible to fast and stop these evil actions. I haven't been successful to fast a single day in my life. I need advice please.*  Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. In response to this question, One of the purposes of the practice of fasting in Islam is to help us overcome our destructive habits and create positive and life-enhancing habits and thus prepare us to face the challenges of life. Therefore, if you were to fast and turn to ALLAH for help, you can beat your smoking and other bad habits. Many people have overcome such unhealthy habits through fasting; so many of them have quit smoking, fornication etc during the month of Ramadhan after having addicted to it for ten to twenty years or even more; they have never turned back. You can also do the same, but before doing that you must g

*Iddah of a divorced woman.* If the woman is divorced by talaaq before the man has entered upon her and been alone with her, i.e., before intercourse or intimacy with her, then she does not have to observe any ‘iddah at all. Also it becomes permissible for her to marry another man. But if he has entered upon her and been alone with her and had intercourse with her, then she has to observe the ‘iddah (waiting period) 💬- If she is pregnant then her ‘iddah lasts until the pregnancy ends and she delivers, whether that is a long time or a short one. It may so happen that he divorces her in the morning and she gives birth at noon, in which case her ‘iddah is over. Or it may be that he divorces her in Muharram and she does not give birth until Dhu’l-Hijjah, so she remains in ‘iddah for twelve months. Reference [al-Talaaq 65:4] 💬- If the woman is not pregnant and she menstruates  then her ‘iddah is three complete menstrual cycles after the divorce. If in a special case where she does

*Iddah of a woman who lost a husband* Allah Ta'alah says in the Glorious Quran: And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as regards their marriage) for four months and ten days, then when they have fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and honourable manner (i.e., they can marry). And Allaah is Well-Acquainted with what you do. [al-Baqarah 2:234] In talking about Iddah, Umm Atiyah reported from the Messenger of Allah: No woman should mourn for a dead person for more than three days, except for a husband, (in which case the period of mourning is) four months and ten days. She should not wear any coloured clothes, only simple dress. She should not apply kohl to her eyes, or use perfume, except for a little qust or izfaar (types of perfume), when she cleans herself after finishing her period. (Reported by Muslim, 2739).

What is the point in slapping your cheeks or rendering your garment in sorrow over something you missed or some calamity that befell you? What is the point in focusing your thoughts and feelings on some incident that has passed so as to increase your pain and make you fall apart? If it were possible to reach into the past and change its events which we did not like, and alter them the way we like, then going back to the past would be essential. We would all rush to go back and erase the things we regretted doing and increase our share of good fortune. But that is impossible, so it is better for us to focus our efforts on what will help us get on with our lives, for that is our only means of compensation. This is what the Qur'an drew attention to after Uhud (a

A Treaties On Prophet Muhammad's Biography.* *Part 120* *THE BATTLE OF UHUD continues* *THE COMPANIONS ASSEMBLE AROUND THE PROPHET (Blessings and Peace be upon him)* Hardly had the most prominent Companions who were in the vanguard noted that the situation changed or heard the Prophet's voice when they hurried up to him. But it was too late. As the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) sustained serious wounds and six fighters of the supporters were killed. The seventh member was impaired by many injuries. Only Sa'ad and Talhah kept defending the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) heroically. So they immediately formed a fortified hedge of their bodies and arms around the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) and protected him against the enemy's attacks. At the forefront of those heroes was Abu Bakr who was the first to reach the Prophet's position. Ibn Hibbān reported that 'Ā'ishah said: &

It must not be followed by references or reminders to the act of charity. 4. Still less should any annoyance or injury be caused to the recipient, e.g, by boasting that the giver relieved the person in the hour of need. Indeed, the kindness and the spirit which turns a blind eye to other people's faults or short-comings is the essence of charity: these things are better than charity if charity is spoilt by tricks that do harm. At the same time, while no reward is to be expected, there is abundant reward from Allāh-material, moral, and spiritual - accord

Let me begin by saying “Bismillah.” When I first started University, I had met another Muslim brother. We had become good friends, but this friendship was not like any other ordinary friendship, I would have done anything for him, he was like my real brother. During our last year of University, this brother of mine announced that he was engaged and that he was to be married after he graduates this year and finds himself a job. I was glad for him and so was he. He talked non stop about getting married, I was sort of getting jealous of him, because the brother had it made for him, finishing school, getting married and especially coming from a wealthy family. One day this brother was to meet me at the coffee shop. He showed up, but astonishingly he wasn’t smiling and wasn’t talking about his fiancée. I asked him what was wrong, he asked

What used to keep you going? What caused you to die? What made you stop moving?’ Then he left the camel in amazement, wondering what happened to it. Ibn Sammaak said, ‘While a fisherman was fishing, he threw his net in the sea, and it came back with a human skull.

[Qur'an 3:147] (Al-Khayzarān) was a slave woman who the caliph al-Mahdi bought from the slave-trader, then he set her free and married her.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 2nd day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Saturday 28th of December, 2019). *_THE PLEASURES OF PARADISE IN BRIEF_*. *BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem*. A glance at the nature of Paradise as described in the Quran and the saying of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). ALLAH says in the Quran: “And give good news (Oh Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that they will have gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....” (Quran 2:25). ALLAH says again: “Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise, whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for those who believe in ALLAH and HIS messengers....” (Quran 57:21). The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise will have ten times the like of the pleasures of this world,  and he or she will have whatever he or she desires and ten times like it

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 1st day of Jumaada Al-Awwal (Friday 27th of December, 2019). *_DANGERS OF OUR TV'S THIS WEEK IN PARTICULAR_*. *BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem*. There is no doubt that this week is among the worse moments to watch Television bcs it is been bombarded with lies against ALLAH and HIS MESSENGER Issah Alaihi salaam. Let's learn what ALLAH says Angrily in Suuratul Maryam verse 90-91 that bcs the Christians saying that ALLAH has begotten a son, or whenever someone says ALLAH has a son, ALLAH become angry to the extend of allowing the mountains and the sky to crash us on this earth. This is how serious it is for what Chritmas is all about and some Muslims are ignorantly even offering gifts for thier kufur statements and some are wasting their time watching these shirk entertainment on TV and wishing them merry Christmas Astaghfirullah. Are we truly Muslims? Yes we can and should tolerate some things and be kind to Christians and other non Muslim

*Thought For The Day* 👉 Ibrahim At-Taimi says: In my heart, I imagined myself in Paradise eating from its fruits, drinking from its water and embracing its virgin women. I also imagined myself in hellfire, eating from its zaqqum, drinking from its puss, and being chained in its chains and fetters. So I asked myself, "What do you wish for?", it said 'I wanted to be returned to the life of the world so that I perform righteous deeds.' I said, 'you are still where you wish to be, so work'. ﷽ *DU'Ā : THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF THE BELIEVER* (148) اَللّٰھُمَّ اخْرُسْنِيْ بِعَیْنِکَ الَّتِيْ لَا تَنَامُ، وَاکْنُفْنِيْ بِکَنَفِکَ الَّذِيْ لَا یُرَامُ، وَاغْفِرْلِيْ بِقُدْرَتِکَ عَلَیَّ فَلَا أَھْلِکُ، وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِيْ ، فَکَمْ مِّنْ نِّعْمَۃٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِہَا عَلَيَّ قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا شُکْرِيْ، وَکَمْ مِّنْ بَلِیَّۃِ نِ ابْتَلَیْتَنِيْ بِہَا قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا صَبْرِيْ ۔ فَیَا مَنْ قَلَّ عِنْدَ نِعْمَتِہٖ شُکْرِيْ فَلَمْ یَحْرِمْنِيْ ، وَیَا
