*6 Practical Steps Toward Sincere Repentance* Most people are aware of the conditions people must fulfill before their repentance is accepted, namely giving up the sin, regretting the sin, and determining never to commit it again. However, in this article we will highlight some practical steps people should follow in order to help achieve sincere repentance. *1⃣: Trying to count all the sins that you have committed since adulthood until the present time.* This is an introduction to repenting for all these sins, because when the soul considers all its sins, it will be humble and tend to repent as soon as possible. Here is a list of the categories of sins to help you remember your past sins: - Sins of the body, such as the tongue (backbiting, tale-bearing, lying, and ridiculing others); the eyes (looking at what is prohibited), ears, hands, feet and private parts. - Sins of the heart, such as arrogance, envy, aggression, self-conceit, and so on. - Negligence in performing...

[Qur'an 22:78] Beaverbrook said: "I accumulated a great deal of wealth, but I realised from experience that persisting in that game - the game of accumulating wealth - was very dangerous and had no end, and it would consume my life and happiness. So, I changed my profession and found a job I liked in the publishing field, which did not generate much wealth, but it brought me happiness and served society. I advise every man who has accumulated enough wealth to suffice him, to stop playing this money-game and retire early, so he can enjoy what he has achieved and plan to do work that he likes, so that he can serve society and enjoy his time." The one who has an accumulated wealth has little concern about leaving behind a large estate for his heirs, because h...

They were at variance as to principles and swords came to end the difference between them.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 2nd day of Rabeeu' Athaani (Friday 29th of November, 2019). *_DOES ISLAM TREAT MEN AND WOMEN EQUAL?_*. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's note that this word *_equality_* is a word which is based on deviation and a lack of understanding, especially when the speaker attributes this idea of equality to the Qur’an and to Islam. One of the things that people misunderstand is when they say that “Islam is the religion of equality”. What they should say is that Islam is the religion of justice. But if we say justice, which means giving each one that to which he or she is entitled, this misunderstanding no longer applies, and the word used is correct. Hence it does not say in the Qur’aan that ALLAAH enjoins equality, rather it says:  “Verily, ALLAAH enjoins Al‑‘Adl (i.e. justice)”al-Nahl 16:90]. ALLAH says; “and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice” al-Nisa’ 4:58. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increase us in ...

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) had dedicated his time to remaining in the blessed company of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to serve him and acquire the knowledge of Deen from him. Through this effort, Allah Ta‘ala blessed him to become one of the leading Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) in the field of the knowledge of Deen. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) did not possess abundant wealth, and he had sacrificed earning a living to acquire the knowledge of Deen from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

[Qur'an 2:45] Patience is like a knight that can defeat foolish desires. Deliberation means being certain and not being hasty, and taking action based on rational thought and wisdom. These two characteristics can defeat anxiety; whoever is lacking in them is missing out on a lot of goodness and will suffer a great deal of anxiety. The patient person can ward off many evils, but the fool does not control his anger and lets evil increase and the causes of anxiety grow greater and take root. The person who is deliberate seldom feels regret or does something whose consequences are unknown. But the foolish and hasty person is no stranger to regret, anxiety and bad consequences. Similarly, if a person is kind to himself and others, he will be successful and will be used to bei...

*BEAUTY WHERE IT BELONGS* ^ ^ ❤-There is a well known principle in life which states, “There is a time and place for everything”. When correct time and place are not taken into consideration, an experience that would have otherwise been extremely enjoyable becomes disappointing and a pain to endure. ❤-To understand this in perspective, take the example of a platter of steaming hot, delicious food. The aroma of this gastronomic delight wafts through the air and it’s so tantalizing that people involuntary begin to lick their lips. As appetizing as the platter may be, however, if it is placed in the cubicle of a public toilet, people will refuse to even give it a second glance. This is simply because it was not in the correct place. ❤-On the same note, Islam instructs women to beautify themselves for their husbands.

So what about your life which is slipping away from you without you even realising it? Your life is a precious jewel whose value cannot be measured in material terms. Every minute of your life that passes can never come back. These m...

﷽ *Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 197:* الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَاتٌ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَعْلَمْهُ اللَّهُ وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَىٰ وَاتَّقُونِ يَا أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ The Hajj (pilgrimage) is (in) the well-known (lunar year) months (i.e. the 10th month, the 11th month and the first ten days of the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, i.e. two months and ten days). So whosoever intends to perform Hajj therein by assuming Ihram), then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj. And whatever good you do, (be sure) Allah knows it. And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness, etc.).

SIGNS OF IMMATURITY IN MARRIAGE FOR MEN: 💥Rejecting food when there's an issue: Mr husband, you gave your wife money for food and after it was prepared you refused to eat because you are angry. It's one of the greatest signs of immaturity, it's time to grow up! You should not even abandon your home for any reason. You could go somewhere when angry but ensure that you don't allow it to linger unnecessarily because that is enough for the devil to build on even though some women can be really troublesome. 💥Telling your wife severally that you are the head:  May I let you know that even when your wife disobeys/ disrespect you she still knows that you are the head. You need not shout or scream it daily. Or do we need to get you a slot on CNN? It's important for you to know when and how to be firm and put your feet down over issues, however don't become a nagging husband just to prove that you are the head. 💥 Issuing threats: beating, verbally abusing...

:::::::Are you a husband?::::::: بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم If you are a husband this is for you. Many times we receive compains from loving wives about their husbands. These wives are not actually complaining about maltreatment or abuse. Instead, they are complaining about the fact that their husband is not religious enough. So let me tell you what your good wife thinks and feels about your behaviour towards your religion and character. -★-She feels very bad that you don't observe salah on time or you don't even perform completely. -★-She feels bad that you are not taking lead because naturally, you should be showing good examples. A leader should lead by example. -★-And she is feeling bad that your children wont be able to do good enough bcos you are also not doing it good enough. -★-Maybe you have bad habits such as drinking or maybe you don't stay at home all day, you only come home to sleep when everyone is asleep. As a matter o...

*People often say:* *"Our actions are judged by our Intentions"*. ﷽ The above phrase is a quotation from a hadith from An-Nawawi collection. Where Rasoulillah says our actions are judged by our intentions especially during the time of Hijra. So basically the hadith is partly talking about Hijra fisabilillah. But today, you find some Muslims using this hadith to commit sins, then justify their action by saying  "Our actions are judged by our Intentions".  For example: 1. When a sister goes out without proper Islamic dressing she says don't judge me  "Our actions are judged by our Intentions". 2. When a brother lower his trousers below his butts and you correct him, he says don't judge me  "Our actions are judged by our Intentions". 3. When people introduce one thing or another, when they are corrected, they say don't judge me  "Our actions are judged by our Intentions". Enough of this. Allah ta'alah is not a ...

*Three Destructive Actions​* Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar Radhiyallahu Anhuma reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam said, “There are three people whom Allah Ta‘ala will not look at (with the sight of mercy) on the Day of Qiyaamah; the one who disobeys his parents, the one who is addicted to wine (or intoxicants), and the one who gives charity to the poor and thereafter reminds them of his favour upon them.” (Mustadrak Haakim #7235) In this hadith, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam has cautioned us regarding three types of evil deeds that will be the cause of one suffering difficulty in the Hereafter. *The first is the sin of disobeying one’s parents:* Provided one’s parents are not requesting one to do something which is impermissible, one should go out of his way to please them and be obedient to them at all times. However, if they request one to do something which will be displeasing to Allah Ta‘ala (e.g. attending a mixed function), then one should refuse. N...

[Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 401] ●If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten.

﷽ *The Happiest Woman in the World* *(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)* *Part 10 of 8* *A HERO WOMAN* "... And do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance..." [Qur'an 33:33] The caliph 'Uthmān ibn Affān (may Allāh be pleased with him) appointed Habīb ibn Maslamah al-Fihri to lead a Muslim army against the Byzantines, who had provoked the Muslims. The wife of Habīb was also a soldier in this army. Before the battle began, Habīb started checking on his army, and his wife came and asked him: "Where will we meet when the fighting becomes intense and the ranks of the army are moving like waves?" He replied: "You will find me either in the tent of the Byzantines commander, or in Paradise." The fighting grew intense and Habīb and his companions fought bravely as never before. Allāh granted them victory over the Byzantines, and Habīb rushed to the tent of the Byzantine commander to wait for his wife. When he reached the door of...
