Dear Parents

*Dear Parents,*


What am about to say is very sad and disturbing, so bear with me.

When Allah Ta'alah gives us the responsibility of being parents it comes with a lot of sacrifices such as: behaving very well and appropriately, abstaining from bad habits, and engaging in all forms of goodness. I am not saying a parent cannot make a mistake, but i mean, parents should minimise making mistakes.

There are a lot of mistakes that parents make that affect their children emotionally, spiritually, morally and psychologically. There are some mistakes that change the mindset of children and turn them into bad people. For example:

When a child finds out that his parents are committing zina and that some of their children are not theirs. This is difficult for the children. And it can affect them badly in future and even in present times. Or when parents are harming other people in front of their children, it conveys a very bad message. Or when parents are abusing each other, for sure their children will find abusing other people's children especially women as normal.

But the one that hurts me the most is when parents are cheating in their marriage. This breaks the heart wallahi. And it destroys the relationship of parents and children. And it has severe effects on the society at large. As a mother or father, you should lead the way for your children. And mind you, wallahi lots of children know their parents are cheating. Don't take your children for granted. They are smart and they know it. I have listened to complaints of many victims who cried in front of me bcos they don't know how to change their parents. Mum and Dad, you are hurting your kids. Stop it.

All i want all parents to know is this, in the day of judgment, there will be judgement between parents and their children. And wallahi if you harm your child Allah will not make it easy for you. Bcos your children deserve a good parent. And remember, they are an amana to you. They are not yours. They belong to Allah.

To all those brothers and sisters whose parents are into one or two things, we pray to Allah to guide our parents, to guide us too, and to prevent us from mischief. Amin.

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...
