Hard times and calamities are blessings from ALLAH for believers

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 12th day of Ramadhan (Friday 17th May 2019). *_Hard times and calamities are blessings from ALLAH for believers_*. BismilLaahirRahmaanir Raheem

I like sharing about this topic mostly because many of our brothers and sisters sell their eemaan(believe) into kufur AstaqfurirulLah due to some Hardship. What a cheap bargain to sheitan. Let's find out why ALLAH test us according to Quran and sunnah.

1) Reveal the Patient from the Impatient:
“And certainly, I will test you with a bit of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits. But give glad tidings to the patient ones who, when afflicted with a calamity, say: “Truly! To ALLAH we belong and truly, to HIM we shall return.” They are those upon whom are the blessings, descend from their Lord, and they receive HIS Mercy, and it is they who are guided.” (Qur’an 2:155-157). Allahu Akbar.

2) To forgive Our Sins and Reward the Righteous: ALLAH do test us with sufferings so that He can forgive our sins and prepare us for Jannat. We should stop sinning if we don't want any suffering in dunya.

3) Purify the Ranks and Distinguish the Righteous from the Wicked:
“ALLAH will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now until HE distinguishes the wicked from the good.”(Qur’an 3:179)
“And when the believers saw the Confederates, they said: “This is what ALLAH and HIS Messenger had promised us, and ALLAH and HIS Messenger had spoken the truth,” and it only added to their faith and submissiveness. ” (Qur’an 33:22).

4) Emphasize the Hardships of This World in Comparison to the Hereafter:
“Blessed is HE in Whose Hand is the kingdom, and HE is Able to do all things. The One Who has created death and life in order to test you and see which of you is best in deed, and HE is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.” (Qur’an 67:1-2).

5) Expose the Reality of the Human Being: You find some Muslims who claim to be Muslims but as soon as little test of hardship hit them, you find them going to pastors and sooth Sayers for help instead of crying to ALLAH. Such are the loosers who has failed their spiritual test. Remember that the entire evil of mankind and jinn kind can come together to harm you but they cannot succeed unless if ALLAH permit and if ALLAH permit then no one can expel it except ALLAH so maintain your relationship with ALLAH and fear NO ONE.

*_May ALLAH aid us to pass HIS test in dunya(in this life), forgive our sins, Protect us from sinning and grant us Jannatul Firdaus by His Rahmah_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
