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 ...

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...
