HANGING PHOTOS IN OUR HOMES

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 20th day of RAJAB (Sunday 15th of March, 2020). *_HANGING PHOTOS IN OUR HOMES_*. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

There are many hadiths which speaks against this hanging of our photos or any animated drawings on the walls, on the tables and on social media. Lets check the following ahadith from Bukhari:
Vol 8, Book 73. Good Manners And Form (Al-Adab). Hadith 130.
Narrated by our mother 'Aaisha may ALLAH be pleased with her: The Prophet entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His FACE GOT RED with anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet said, "Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection."

Vol 3, Book 34. Sales And Trade. Hadith 318. Narrated by our mother again (Mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When ALLAH'S Apostle saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, "O ALLAH'S Apostle! I repent to ALLAH and HIS Apostle. (Please let me know) what sin I have done." ALLAH'S Apostle said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." ALLAH'S Apostle said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).' " The Prophet added, "The ANGELS DO NOT ENTER a house where there are pictures displayed." Angels do not fear the drawings but the fact that you are disobeying ALLAH and HIS Messenger is preventing Mercy entering your home.

Vol 4, Book 54. Beginning Of Creation. Hadith 539.  Narrated By Abu Talha: The Prophet said, "ANGELS DO NOT ENTER a house witch has either a dog or a picture displayed in it."

There are many of such authentic narrations and each narration has lots of lessons in it so let's strive to avoid it. The wisdom behind it according to scholars is clear that, that's one of Satan's weapon to possess and afflict us through evil jinns. Satan also uses it to distract us from our worship, Satan uses it to influence us to use it seeking help from the death as we notice many do by looking at their saints, dead imams to make dua for help. Islam cut any link to satanic influences so let's avoid it for our own good. Snapping ourselves and our relatives to keep as memory is not haraam but don't display it to the public view and ALLAH knows best. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

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...
