Thought For The Day*

*Thought For The Day*

👉 Ibrahim At-Taimi says:

In my heart, I imagined myself in Paradise eating from its fruits, drinking from its water and embracing its virgin women. I also imagined myself in hellfire, eating from its zaqqum, drinking from its puss, and being chained in its chains and fetters. So I asked myself, "What do you wish for?", it said 'I wanted to be returned to the life of the world so that I perform righteous deeds.' I said, 'you are still where you wish to be, so work'.

*DU'Ā : THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF THE BELIEVER* (148)

اَللّٰھُمَّ اخْرُسْنِيْ بِعَیْنِکَ الَّتِيْ لَا تَنَامُ، وَاکْنُفْنِيْ بِکَنَفِکَ الَّذِيْ لَا یُرَامُ، وَاغْفِرْلِيْ بِقُدْرَتِکَ عَلَیَّ فَلَا أَھْلِکُ، وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِيْ ، فَکَمْ مِّنْ نِّعْمَۃٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِہَا عَلَيَّ قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا شُکْرِيْ، وَکَمْ مِّنْ بَلِیَّۃِ نِ ابْتَلَیْتَنِيْ بِہَا قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا صَبْرِيْ ۔ فَیَا مَنْ قَلَّ عِنْدَ نِعْمَتِہٖ شُکْرِيْ فَلَمْ یَحْرِمْنِيْ ، وَیَا مَنْ قَلَّ عِنْدَ بَلِیَّتِہٖ صَبْرِيْ فَلَمْ یَخْذُلْنِيْ، وَیَا مَنْ رَّاٰنِي عَلَی الْخَطَایَا فَلَمْ یَفْضَحْنِيْ

Allāhummah-rusī bi’aymikal-latī lā tanām(u), wak-nufnī bikanafikal-ladhī lā yurām(u), wagh-fir lī biqudratika’alayya fa lā ahlik(u), wa anta rajā’ī. Fa kam min ni’matin an’amta bihā ‘alayya qalla laka ‘indahā shukrī, wa kam mim baliyyatinib-talaytanī bihā qalla laka ‘indahā sabrī. Fa yā man qalla ‘inda ni’matihī shukrī fa lam yahrimni, wa yā man qalla ‘inda baliyyarihī sabrī shukri fa lam yahrimnī,wa yā man qalla ‘inda baliyyatihi sabrī fa lam yakhdhulnī, wa yā man ra’āni ‘alal-khaţāya fa lam yafdahni.

O Allah, watch over me with Your Eye that never sleeps, protect me with Your unassailable patronage, and forgive me by virtue of Your power over me so that I may not perish. You are my Hope. How many a bounty there is with which You have favoured me; yet little has been my gratitude for that. And how many a trial have You tested me with; yet little has been my patience with that. O the One for Whose bounties my gratitude has been little, yet He did not deprive me. O the One against Whose trial I showed little patience, yet He did not abandon me. O the One Who saw me committing mistakes yet He did not disgrace me.

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...
