Allah ﷻ says 

*أَمْ خُلِقُواْ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَـلِقُونَ*

_Or were they created by nothing Or were they themselves the creators_
[52:35]
Allah ﷻ asks them, yet Neither is true. Allah ﷻ is the One Who created them and brought them into existence after they were nothing. 
_
*أَمْ خَلَقُواْ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بَل لاَّ يُوقِنُونَ*

_Or did they create the heavens and the earth Nay, but they are not certain._
[52:36]
Allah ﷻ is asking, yet They knew that Allah ﷻ Alone is the Creator without partners with Him. 
But they weren't firm in this knowledge and belief and fell into Shirk.
_
*أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ الْمُسَيْطِرُونَ*

_Or have they the depositaries of your Lord, or are they the controllers_
[52:37]
_
*Contemplate over yourselves!*
The Vast Expanse of the worlds, nothing you ever amount to will give you complete knowledge of the creation of Allah ﷻ,
The King of All Kings, and The All Knowing of All Things.
_
*Contemplate over your creation!*
A weak being with continuous needs, provided for and sustained by The Sustainer and The Provider! 
Such is Allah ﷻ!
So is it not time for us to submit? 
_
Jubair Ibn Mut'im رضي الله عنه heard these Ayaat as a Mushrik and he describes how his heart was affected! 
He later accepted Islam.
Just look how the Qur'an affected them even in Disbelief! 
_
They KNEW but they didn't BELIEVE.
*We BELIEVE yet we do not KNOW.*
_
And if we Believed and Knew, we would never be away from Allah ﷻ.
_
In another Hadith,
Prophet ﷺ recited Surah Najm before the biggest Mushrikeen of Qur'aysh, the entire Surah!
Many of us would get tired and turn it off or stop concentrating after a page,

Yet when he ﷺ reached the Sajdah at the end, He Prostrated and the hearts of the disbelievers compelled them to prostrate!
[Sahih Bukhari]
Such is the Kalam of Allah ﷻ! 
_
We need to soften our hearts with the Qur'an, it does not befit a Believer, that He hears Ayaat and He does not feel affected by the Majesty of the words and its meaning.
Regardless of whether he understands! 
_
Knowing and Believing have to be together! 
We say امنا! امنا! 
But we act as if we don't know Jannah exists, Jahannam exists!
_
So recite more and try to connect with the Kalam of Allah ﷻ and to understand the meaning of what you recite.
_
May Allah ﷻ increase us in knowledge and grant us goodness in both the worlds
*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*

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...
