DO NOT REJECT THE CALL TO REAL SUCCESS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 12th day of Rabeeul Awwal (Thursday 29th October. 2020).

*_DO NOT REJECT THE CALL TO REAL SUCCESS_*. BismilLaah. 


When a friend, a relative or an acquaintance invites us to their house or to a social gathering, we usually tend to respond in two ways. Either we graciously accept their invitation or we politely refuse because we simple have other commitments. It also often happens that when we respond in the negative, we tend to feel bad while turning down an invite. Imagine a situation where your friend invites you over for lunch. You decline the invitation but he or she invites you again the next day. Clearly, the friend is interested in spending time with you because he or she must really like you. You decline again. The next day, your friend invites you once more for lunch. You will respond in either two ways. You will feel bad and finally accept the invite or you will turn it down once more. After having his or her invitation rejected the third time, the friend will stop inviting you because fortunately or unfortunately he will realize that you are not interested.


Hayya ʿala ‘l-falāḥ, Hayya ʿala ‘l-falāḥ! Come to success, Come to success!

A call. An invite. A call that we have always heard, continue to hear and will always hear five times a day till the Last day. It is an invitation that we casually turn down without even feeling the slightest guilt. Yet, no matter how many times we reject this call, we will receive this invite multiple times in the same day, till we cease to exist. The Caller, the Invitee, must really love us to never give up calling us to HIM. But what kind of humans are we? Ignorance and rude?, rejecting one call after another?. How unlucky some are! This isn’t an invitation to a petty social gathering or a lunch. It is the ultimate invitation to real success. While we spend our lives running after people whom we want to impress for a promotion, a salary raise, friendship or other personal gains, we have the Almighty who wants us to come to real success. It is the success that outweighs all other worldly successes. But in our lack of eemaan, we simply reject the call to real success, the success that will save us from calamity and failure. We reject this invite from a Creator who will never fail us, never leave us and in fact, will give us more than we could ever ask for. We reject the invite to real success. HE is our Creator inviting us to real success but unfortunately we see some going away from these calls for success. At least if you don't fear the punishment of our Creator for failing his invitation, don't you want HIS Jannat?. *_May ALLAH aid us to be able to respond to HIS invitations to our 5 daily salaat_*. 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...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
