LET'S SPEAK WITH CARE

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arbaă, 25th day of Shăbaan, 1440, (Wednesday, 1st May, 2019).
*_LET'S SPEAK WITH CARE_*. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

As Ramadan approaches, let's strive to change our complete ways of life including how we speak to others etc.
Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “A person may say something that is pleasing to ALLAH but he does not realize it, and ALLAH raises his status by many degrees because of it, and a person may say something that angers ALLAH, but he does not realize it, and for that he may be thrown deep into Hell.” [Saheeh Bukhari].

We must always be wary of the words that slip out of our mouths. ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) has appointed angels to record the deeds, both good and bad, of the children of Aadam (alaihis salam). These are the angels referred to in the Ayaat: “But verily, over you (are appointed angels) to watch you, Kiraaman Kaatibeen, writing down. They know all that you do.” [Quran 82:10-12].

“Kiraaman Kaatibeen” means “honourable scribes” and refers to the two angels that ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) has appointed for each person who are always present and who never leave him; they record in detail all that he does.
ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) says: “(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive, one sitting on the right and one on the left. Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).” [Quran 50:17-18].

Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), the honourable Sahabah and Mufassir of the Quran, said: “Everything that you say, good or bad, is written down. Even when a person says, ‘I ate’, ‘I drank’, ‘I went,’ ‘I came,’ ‘I saw’. So imagine all our bad words we use on daily basis.

Ibn Katheer may ALLAH  be pleased with him mentioned that Imaam Ahmad used to moan when he was sick. Then he heard that Taawoos (one of the Tabi’een narrators of hadith) said, “Everything is written down, even when a person moans.” After that, Imam Ahmad never moaned until he died, may ALLAH have mercy on him. As Muslims we don't want downtown Jannat but Jannatul Firdaus as such let's strive to live a descent lifestyle purely to please ALLAH so that he can grant us Jannatul Firdaus by HIS MERCY.

*_May ALLAH keep guiding us till Jannat becomes our final abode_*. 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...
