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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
