 *_MAKE A SINCERE BELIEVER YOUR CLOSED FRIEND_* 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 inevitable Day comes when we are called to account for our actions.  ALLAH says again:  “O you who believe! Take car

The story of Balaam the seer, who was called out by Israel's enemies to curse Israel, but who blessed Israel instead, (the book of numbers, xxii, xxiii, xxiv) is quite different. It is better to take the parable in general sense. There are men, of talents and position, to whom great opportunities of spiritual insight come, but they perversely pass them by. Satan sees his opportunity and catches them up. Instead of rising higher in the spi

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 16th day of RAJAB (Sunday 28th February 2021). *_ARE YOU AN ENEMY TO YOURSELF AND ISLAM_*. BismilLaah. One of The biggest enemies of Islam is the ignorant Muslim whose ignorance leads him/her to intolerance, whose actions distroy the true image of Islam and when the people look at him/her they think that Islam is what he/she is. ALLAH says  O Muhammad, "Shall I inform you of the greatest losers as to their deeds?" "They are those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work or deeds." (Al-Kahf 18:103--104)" Islam is a complete ways of life. Let's learn those ways from the Qur'an and Sunnah and act purely to please ALLAH.  *_May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu, Al-Qayyuum, The Living, The Maintainer of Life) grant us the true meaning of Islam and help us to worship and live our ways of life upon it_*. Aameen.

 🌺🌷💐🌸🌹🌷🌺🌸🌹💐🌷🌸 *POINTS OF REFLECTION* Life is full of what-ifs and we get caught up always over- thinking and dwelling on the negatives.  Accepting and appreciating: where you are,  what you have,  each experience that comes your way,  whether good or bad, this is the challenge of Life.               Learn to value everything around you. These are the Blessings that Allah has showered upon you out of His generosity & Grace. *Alhamdulillah...* Appreciate every single moment of life and honor those who create happiness for you, who care about you and who make time for you. *Alhamdulillah...* For time is precious, and those who share this precious commodity care deeply about you. *Alhamdulillah...* In a world of indifference, broken promises and heartache, find strength in worship and peace in solitude. When it is quiet, we hear the raindrops of mercy fall gently to the ground.  *Alhamdulillah...* Always be grateful for where you are, and always be strong in Faith.

 ﷽ *A Guide On How To Deal With The Covid-19 Pandemic From An Islamic Perspective!* *Episode 16* Praying as a sick person   How to pray... Pray standing as normal. If you are unable to, then pray sitting. If you are unable to sit, then pray lying down facing the qiblah on your side - whichever side is easiest. If both sides are the same, then the right side is better. If that is not possible, then pray lying on your back, with your feet towards the qiblah (if possible), otherwise you can pray lying on your back in any direction. *How to do rukoo' & sujood if you are praying sitting down...* Tilt your head forward & lower your back for rukoo' & sujood if you are able to. If you cannot lower your back, then tilting your head will suffice. *How to do rukoo' & sujood if you are praying lying down...* Lower your head for rukoo' & sujood. Difference between the rukoo' & sujood - the head needs to be a little lower for sujood than it is for the ruko

 *Be patient about your rizq* Hadith: It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O people, fear Allah and be moderate in seeking a living, for no soul will die until it has received all its provision, even if it is slow in coming. So fear Allah and be moderate in seeking provision; take that which is permissible and leave that which is forbidden. " (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 12, Hadith 2227) Let us be patient with what Allah has provided us in this life. Avoid Haram by all means and be content with Allah has provided for you. Remember that consuming Haram is one of the reasons our ibadah will not be accepted. So how do we expect Allah to accept our dua/ibadah when we consume Haram without regards to its consequences.  May Allah increase our iman and protect us from all that which is unlawful. May Allah(SWT) bless us all, our families and restore peace to our communities

 *Duties of the Child in Islam.*  The child has duties that become the rights of the parents: ~ The right to be respected and obeyed ~ Parents generally give orders and instructions that are in the best interest of children. It is thus the duty of children to respect and obey their parents in all matters. They should not question this authority or follow their own desires in defiance of their parents. This is, of course, overruled if the parents request the child to perform an act of disobedience to Allah. ~ Right to kind words and good behaviour ~ Allah says in Surah Ahqaf: And We have enjoined upon the human, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him in weakness and hardship and gave birth to him in weakness and hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months...) (Qur'an 46-15) Also:  And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them

Human beings are forgetful, and we need constant reminders as to who we are, why we are here on earth, and to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.

We Muslims, if we aspire to become true believers, we have to be constantly aware of our utter reliance on ALLAH: our utter and absolute helplessness in the face of the titanic forces of nature around us.  The Burma cyclone, American hericanes and the Chinese earthquakes etc are timely reminders, if we need reminding, that the image we have of e

We both admitted nobody is completely safe from the heinous act, but we must strive to be conscious of our tongues from leaking unnecessarily. We must make excuses for people when their wrongdoings are brought forward, investigate matters carefully before taking a stand My friend told me how he saw condoms in his boss' car and initially thought his boss was an adulterer but Allah was merciful to my friend enough to realize afterwards that the condoms could be a device adopted by his boss & wife for child spacing Make excuses to defend your brother even when you see an alcohol dripping from his beard.
