THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt 13th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani (Saturday 28th November. 2020). PRAISING ALLAH FIRST BEFORE SEEKING HIS HELP

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt 13th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani (Saturday 28th November. 2020).

*_PRAISING ALLAH FIRST BEFORE SEEKING HIS HELP_*. BismilLah. 


It's very disrespectful and not right to just raise our hands seeking help or protection etc from ALLAH without praising HIM first. Even on Earth, we all witness especially in Africa such as Ghana, how chiefs are praised before even talking to them. You cannot just go in front of any Chief and start talking without praising him. In Islam we are thought to First praise ALLAH using HIS names and attributes then send praises to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam next before even praying for yourself, family and other Muslims. 


ALLAH(Al-Alim, The All Knowing, The Omniscient) has described HIMSELF in the Quran through HIS Names and Attributes. We Muslims believe that studying these Names and Attributes is one of the most effective ways of strengthening one’s relationship with ALLAH(As-Sami‘e, The All Hearing). Each Name and Attribute nourishes a kind of consciousness and humility in human and our study leads one to constantly better our actions. ALLAH says in the Quran;

“The most beautiful names belong to HIM, ALLAH(Al-Azeem, The Magnificent, The Infinite): so call on HIM by them.” (Quran, 7:180).


WE Muslims are asked to call upon ALLAH(Al-Ghafoor, The All Forgiving) during OUR supplications by the most appropriate names that relate to what we are asking for. For example, if one is seeking forgiveness from ALLAH (Al-Kabeer, The Great) for a sin you have committed, you would call upon HIM by HIS name “Al-Ghaffar,” meaning “The Ever Forgiving.” If one is asking for peace and tranquility in their life while experiencing a period of tension, we would call on ALLAH (Al-Hafeez, The Preserver) by HIS name “As-Salaam,” meaning “The Ultimate Source of Peace.”


Let's study these names and attributes and use them during our supplication such as Yaa HAYYU yaa QAYYUUM birahmatika Astaqeeth, Oh ALLAH you are the living and maintainer of life so with your mercy I seek your help. Beautiful dua isn't it?. You may have noticed I've been using some of these attributes in my reminders whenever I mention ALLAH so that we can also learn these attributes whilst focusing on our topic as well. 


*_May ALLAH (Al-Muqeet, The Nourisher) 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 ...

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...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
