*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 ...

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations.
