WHAT TO SAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH DAILY SALAAT

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 12th day of Shawwaal (Saturday 15th June, 2019).
*_WHAT TO SAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH DAILY SALAAT_*. *BismilLah*.

The Sunnah (Prophetic guidance) is for the Muslim to say after every obligatory prayer, whether he or she prayed as an imam (leader) or behind an imam or on his or her own is to say Astaghfirullah (I ask ALLAH for forgiveness) three times, then Allahumma anta al-salam wa minka al-salam tabarakta ya dhal-jalaali wa’l-ikraam (O ALLAH, You are the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour). After this then we should follow the sunnah as follows;

Reported by Abu Hurayrah(RA) from the Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever glorifies ALLAAH (says Subhaan ALLAAH) thirty-three times immediately after each prayer, and praises ALLAAH (says Al-hamdu Lillaah) thirty-three times, and magnifies ALLAAH (says Allaahu akbar) thirty-three times, this makes ninety-nine, then to complete one hundred says Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah Alone, with no partner, His is the power and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things) – his or her sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.” (Authenticated by Imam Muslim, 939. *May Allah be pleased with him*. Please note that these should be done individually and in a low tone without disturbing anyone praying etc. What we see by some imams to start making Dua after final tasleem loud is not from the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and those actions aid followers to neglect the above sunnah of what is recommended to be done as we see mostly after the imam has finished his dua everybody stand up to leave the masjid or pray their sunnah salaat, what then happens to the above azkaar the prophet thought? Ignored isn't it? Even Though the imam can make dua occasionally especially for something specific etc, it shouldn't be regular after each salaat disturbing those who were late praying and those who wish to follow the sunnah above.

*_May ALLAH aid us through our little effort to please HIM and may HE be pleased with us_*. 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...
