*Du'ā for seeking protection from difficulty, wretchedness, bad Taqdeer, and taunting of the enemies.*

اللهم إِن أعوذ بك من جهد البالء ودرك الشقاء وسوء القضاء ومشاتة األعداء

Allahuma ini aaoozu bika min jahdil balaa wa dar kish shaqaa wa soo il  qadhaa wa shamaa tha thil aa'daa.

O Allah! I seek refuge in you from severe calamities, and from the grips of ill hope, and evil destiny, and from the taunting of the enemies.

In the first portion of the Dua we are seeking protection from all types of severe difficulty and hardship. Hadrat Ibne Abbas رضي الله عنه  explains by means of an example that a big hardship is where a person has many children and no money. For example, he has twelve or fourteen children, and each one has different need simultaneously. In the morning each one of them have a need to have breakfast, and he has nothing to give them, as he is poor. Somehow he might manage to give them breakfast, and before he knows, it is time for lunch, and he has to look for something to feed his wife and children again.

In the second portion of the Dua, a person is seeking protection from wretchedness
whereby the heart of a person becomes black. Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masood رضي ألله عنه explains this by stating that a person commits such a sin which causes the doors of Taubah to close, and such a person is deprived of Taubah.

In the third portion of the Dua, one seeks refuge from evil destiny as we do not know what the next moment holds in store for us. The next phone call or the next knock on the door can reveal some grievous news, therefore we seek protection from anything bad written in our Taqdeer.
In the final portion of the Dua, we seek protection from the laughing of the enemy. Generally a person has enemies that are jealous of him, and they are waiting for something to go wrong in his life, business, institution, etc. and they go around talking of what had gone wrong, and people enjoy doing this.

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...
