You love the present worldly life! And you neglect the hereafter!_ [76:20-21] Meaning, the only thing that has caused them to reject the Day of Judgement and oppose the true revelation and the Mighty Qur'an Allah ﷻ revealed to His Messenger is that their only concern is the present worldly life.

 *MUSIC IS HARAM IN ISLAM* Music usually intoxicates a person and takes one away from the path of Allah (swt). Music engages a persons mind and takes him/her away from the remembrance of his/her Creator and from realizing and focusing his/her attention on the purpose of his/her creation. In musical songs, most of the times the listeners even appreciate illogical, incorrect and blasphemous matter and content. A person will realize this when he starts pondering over the meaning of many Hindi and English songs, lyrics and ghazals. Here we find that it is because of music that the persons mind is intoxicated and the person deviates from the straight path. And Allah Knows the Best. Narrated Abu Malik Al-Ashari: "The Messenger (pbuh) of Allah (SWT) said, "Some people of my Ummah will drink wine, calling it by other than its real name, merriment will be made for them through the playing of musical instruments and the singing of lady singers. Allah will cleave the earth under them an

 *🔬The scientific world is turning to God🔭*   “As people have certainly been influenced by me, I want to try and correct the enormous damage I may have done.” (Anthony Flew) The newspapers these days are echoing with these regret-filled words by Antony Flew, in his time a well-known atheist philosopher.  The 81-year-old British professor of philosophy Flew chose to become an atheist at the age of 15, and first made a name for himself in the academic field with a paper published in 1950.  In the 54 years that followed, he defended atheism as a teacher at the universities of Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele and Reading, at many American and Canadian universities he visited, in debates, books, lecture halls and articles.  In recent days, however, Flew has announced that he has abandoned this error and accepts that the universe was created. The decisive factor in this radical change of view is the clear and definitive evidence revealed by science on the subject of creation. Flew realized, in the

Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones!" (66:6) "...then fear the Fire [hell] whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers" (2:24) Another fuel for the Fire will be the gods, which were worshipped instead of Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala); "Certainly! You [disbelievers] and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are [but] fuel for Hell! [Surely] you will enter it. Had these [idols etc] been aaliha [gods] they would not have entered there [Hell] and all of them will abide therein." (21:98-99)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 18th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Sunday 31st January 2021). *_MAKE A SINCERE BELIEVER YOUR CLOSED FRIEND_*. BismilLah.  Instead of making friends with the misguided ones we should befriend the righteous and treat the rest in a gracious and just manner. Staying at sufficient distance is necessary, yet treating everybody in a noble and kind manner is required. We should have only good practising Muslims as our close friends. ALLAH the Exalted says in the Qur’an: “And (remember) the Day when the wrong-doer will bite their hands and say: Woe to me! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger. Woe to me! If only I had not taken so- and-so as a friend! He/she has led me astray from this Reminder (the Qur’an) after it had come to me. And Satan is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.” Qur’an 25:27-29. Meaning satan after deceiving you will laugh at you and rubbish your claim against him on judgement day.  Be wise and take heed before the ine

 # *DEATH* Death is a like a waiting queue. It's just a matter of time before it comes to you. Smart people prepare for it as they see others go and never came back. Unlike a real queue, where you can see who's next. For death queue, it is a blind queue. No one knows who's next. So prepare for it everyday, do your best to perfect your day, so that if that day is your last day, you have nothing to fear. How do you perfect your day? By starting your day with salah and zikr. By reciting a portion of the Qur’an. By perfecting your daily salah as if when you finish you will die afterwards. Most of us don't take salah seriously. Imagine you pray zuhr  and it is your last? Imagine you recite Qur’an in the morning and you die in the afternoon? What a blessed death.! Now imagine you start your day without salah, or starting it by cheating someone, and later in the evening you die? What an awful death. If the son of Adam will think about all these, no son of Adam shall be a dwell

 *Today's Quranic Verse: Good Speech* وَقُلْ لِعِبَادِي يَقُولُوا الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُبِينًا And tell My (believing) servants to say only what is best. Surely, Shayṭān causes tensions and breaks ties between them, for he is  an open enemy to mankind [Isrā: 53]. In this verse, we learn: - The Quran commands us to speak 'aḥsan' words: the best, and the kindest, and the most beautiful, words, at all times. The superlative is used, and context will tell us what words are the best in each given situation. This is the default, and this is the general rule. Sadly, all too often we take the exceptional situations as the norm.  - Both Allah and His Messenger command this. Notice the unique phrasing in the beginning, which only occurs a handful of times: Allah commands the Messenger ﷺ to command us. The point being that there is a nobility given to this particular command that emphasizes it

 *Think of this...* Whilst sitting in Imam Shafi'i's class one day, his student Yunus ibn Abd al A'ala differed with him. He got so angry that he left the class and went home. That night, Yunus heard a knock on his door and asked who it was. The one knocking answered, "Muhammad Ibn Idrees!" Yunus thought of everyone who he knew by that name except the Imam. Upon opening the door, he was shocked to see Imam Shafi'i. The Imam said: *O Yunus! Hundreds of issues unite us, and only one issue divided us?*  *Don't try to be triumphant in all differences; sometimes, winning hearts is more important than winning situations. Don't demolish bridges you built and crossed, for you may need them again one day for your return* *Always hate what is wrong, but do not hate the one who errs. Hate sin with all your heart, but forgive and have mercy on the sinner. Criticise speech, but respect the speaker. Our job is to wipe out the disease, not the patient* This is truly

 *Eating camel 🐫 meat invalidates wudu.* Bismillah... We learned from the Messenger through a hadith narrated by Jabir bin Samura (rad): A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ), "Should I perform ablution after eating mutton?" He replied, "If you wish so" , he then asked, "Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?" He (ﷺ) said: "Yes" . [Reported by Muslim 360 ]. This means each time you eat camel you need to make wudu before salah. It also implies that if you already performed wudu and then eat camel then your wudu breaks.

 *Falling into deep sleep might  invalidate your wudu (ablution).* Narrated Mu'awiyah (rad): Allah's Messenger (saW) said: "The eye (when awake) is the string of the anus (to stop air escaping), and if the two eyes sleep the string is untied" . [Reported by Ahmad and At-Tabarani who added, "Whoever sleeps should perform ablution]" Bulugh al-Maram 80  Scholars differ on the ruling of the above hadith.  Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If a person is not sure whether he fell asleep or dozed off, but one of the two happened, his wudoo’ is not invalidated. Al-Shaafa’i said in al-Umm: *To be on the safe side, he should do wudoo’.* And this is bcos anything can happen during sleeping.  But if the sleep is just a doze-off, then majority of scholars agree that wudu is not invalidated based on hadith of al-Bukhaari (137) and Muslim (361) from ‘Abbaad ibn Tameem from his paternal uncle, who said: A complaint was made to the Prophet (S) about when one thi

It [Hell] has seven gates, for each of these gates is a [special] class [of sinners] assigned". (15:43-44) Ibn Katheer commenting on this aayah, said: "This means that each gate has been  allotted its share of the followers of Iblees who will enter it, and the will not be able to avoid it. May Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala) protect us from it. Each will enter a gate according to his deeds, and will be assigned to a level of Hell  according to his deeds." It was reported from 'Ali ibn Abi Taalib (Radiallaahu Anhu) that he said, during a  khutbah (sermon): "The gates of Hell are such and-such". Abu Harun said, "They are in layers, one above the other". It is reported that he also said, "The gates of Hell number seven, on

So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic. #COMMENTARY Moses and his brother Aaron were pitted against the most skilful magic-men of Egypt, but they were calm and confident and let the magic-men have their innings first. As is usual in this world, the magicians trickery made a great impression on the people, but when Moses threw his rod, the illusion was broken, and the falsehood was all thrown up. In the Old Testament story (the book Of Exodus, chapter vii, verses 10-12) it was Aaron that threw the rod, and he

 Death is coming, are you ready ? By Sumayyah bint Joan Upon hearing about the death of a fellow Muslim, it suddenly struck me how very fleeting life is, and that I was only a twinkling of an eye away from where he is now. Death is the reality from which none of us can escape. It draws nearer every day, every hour, every minute. So I had to ask myself, if I were to die today, would I have done all that I could to ensure Allah’s Favor, and to evade His Wrath? Unfortunately for me, the answer was a resounding NOOO. At the end of the day, I ask myself, what good have I sent ahead for the benefit of my soul? And again, the answers usually, very little. Time, it seems, is moving by so quickly. It seems just like yesterday that we started the “New Year,” yet we’re already almost a third of the way through it. A month seems like a week, a week seems like an hour and an hour feels like just minutes. This is why I’ve resolved to try my utmost, with the aid of Allah to take advantage of every op

In fact, the Sahāba loved Salāh so much that once, in a battle against Juhainah, the enemies of Allāh noticed the Muslims praying Zuhr. They thus planned to attack the Muslims when they would be praying Asr, saying " *Certainly, a Salāh will come to them [Asr prayer] that it is more beloved to them than their own children."* [Muslim] Allāhu Akbar! The Sahāba loved Salāh so much to the point they preferred worshipping Allāh through that which He loves most - the Salāh - even to their own families! Let us look at simply one aspect of how Salāh is a gift for this Ummah:  *1⃣ The Prayer Itself is an Expiation of Sins*  The Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, “ *The five daily prayers and Jumu'ah to Jumu'ah is an expiation of the sins committed between those times so long as one is not guilty of m

The Quran 📌Attitude of the giver of charity Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and do not follow up their spending by stressing their benevolence and causing hurt, will find their reward secure with their Lord. They have no cause for fear and grief .(2:262) 📌The needy who do not do beg Those needy ones who are wholly wrapped up in the cause of Allah, and who are hindered from moving about the earth in search of their livelihood especially deserve help. He who is unaware of their circumstances supposes them to be wealthy because of their dignified bearing, but you will know them by their countenance, although they do not go about begging of people with importunity. And whatever wealth you will spend on helping them, Allah will know of it . (2:273) 📌Food and the needy Have you seen him who belies the rewards and punishments of the Hereafter? He it is who drives away the orphan and does not urge giving away the food of the poor . (10

Nevertheless, Hell will  accommodate the huge number of Kuffaar and evildoers who have existed throughout history, in spite of their huge size, and there will still be room for more, as Allah says in the Qur'an: "On the Day when We will say to Hell: "Are you filled?" It will say: "Are there any more to come?" (50:30) (2) Another indication of its vast depth is the fact that a stone thrown from the top of Hell takes a very long time to reach the bottom.

They said: "Indeed there will be a (good) reward for us if we are the victors." #COMMENTARY The most noted sorcerers of Pharaoh came.

The Pharaoh and his Council would in their present state of panic agree to anything. And so they did. Pharaoh not only promised them any rewards they desired if they foiled the strange power of these men, but he also promised them the highest dignities round his own person.
