Pearls Of Motivation

 *Pearls Of Motivation* When we ask Almighty ALLĀH for something, we should do so with trust and certainty that He will answer it. Never should we supplicate with a lazy mind and distracted heart. Ask wholeheartedly. Keep asking. Be patient and don’t give up.

The Prophet (saw) replied: 👉🏻 'She must obey him and must not violate his orders'."  Madam First Lady! Every institution, factory and organization needs a responsible manager. Yes. In any sociological unit and organization, cooperation between the staff is important.. However, running the affairs of such a unit needs a manager who can coordinate the duties. And one of the v...

DON'T BE SAD Episode 115 IF YOU EMBRACE ISLAM, THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO BE SAD

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 115 *IF YOU EMBRACE ISLAM, THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO BE SAD* Miserable are those souls that are ignorant of Islam or that know Islam but have not been guided to it. Today, Muslims need a slogan or advertisement to be broadcast worldwide, for Islam is a great message that must be conveyed to the masses. The words of this slogan need to be clear, concise, and inviting because the happiness of humanity as a whole lies in this true Religion. Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 85: وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. A famous caller to Islam settled in Munich, Germany some years ago. Upon reaching the entrance of this city, he noticed a large placard. Upon it was written, "You don't know Yokohama Tires." He later put up a sign beside it and it was just as l...

 ﷽ *300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ* Number 88.  *Seeking blessings from his grave removed a drought which occurred at the time of Sayyidina Umar's reign.* • Sayyidina Malik al-Darr narrates: “The people suffered a drought during Umar's caliphate, whereupon a man [according to Imam ibn Hajar, it was the companion Sayyidina Bilal ibn al-Harith] came to the grave of the Messenger of Allah and said, “Messenger of Allah! Ask for rain for your Community, for verily they have but perished.” After this, the Messenger of Allah appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Go to Umar and give him my greeting, then tell him that they will be watered. Tell him: Be clever!” The man went and told Umar. The latter wept and said: “My Lord! I spare no effort except in what escapes my power.” [Imam Bayhaqi, Dala'il al-Nubuwwa; Imam Subki, Shifa al Siqam fi Ziyarat Khayr al Anaam]

﷽  *Surah Yunus, Verse 71:* وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِي وَتَذْكِيرِي بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوا أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقْضُوا إِلَيَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ And recite to them the news of Nuh (Noah).

So devise your plot, you and your partners, and let not your plot be in doubt for you. Then pass your sentence on me and give me no respite. #COMMENTARY The reference to Noah's story here is only incidental, to illustrate a special point.

RULINGS ON DREAMS CONTINUES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 21st day of Dhul Hijjah. (Saturday, 31st of July 2021). *_RULINGS ON DREAMS CONTINUES_*. BismilLah.  Base on our reminder yesterday about dreams, what should you do if you experience good or bad dreams.  We know from yesterday's reminder that all good dreams are inspiration from ALLAH and bad dreams are from sheitan so whenever we dream good we should pray that ALLAH guide us through and grant us the good from it, you can give sadaqah seeking ALLAH to make your good dream a reality. For bad dreams we should just recite aayaatul kursy, Ikhlas (qul huwallahu a had), falaq and nas then dry spit to your left 3 times. Don't tell anyone and in shaa ALLAH nothing will happen to you. Just be rest assured that nothing can happen to you good or bad without the permission of ALLAH so please don't go to these evil agents trying to enquire about the bad or good dreams as they will deviate you into disobedience to ALLAH or even kufur.  S...

 *Most Wisest First Lady* [[-------------1⃣-------------]] ------------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A Woman, whatever name she calls herself - First Lady, The Princess, a homemaker, a stay-at-home-mom etc, being a housewife is a full-time job. In fact, amongst the duties of a good wife is to run or manage everybody & activities of the family members:~ children and the entire members of the family, especially the Senate President *(ie - the husband)*. And, To explain how dedicated a wife should be towards making her husband happy, 👉 The Prophet (saw) said: “Were i to order anyone to prostrate himself before anyone else, i would have ordered the woman to prostrate herself before her husband.” 📚 Authentic hadeeth This is why i wish to start addressing issues and responsibilities a good wife should take very serious regarding her husband.  One of these responsibilities is - *"Turning the house into home"*. and this is necessary because, for every woman t...

DON'T BE SAD Episode 114 DESPAIR NOT --- HANDICAPS DO NOT PREVENT SUCCESS

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 114 *DESPAIR NOT --- HANDICAPS DO NOT PREVENT SUCCESS* An interview was published in the Arabic daily 'Ukkaaz, with a blind man named Mahmood Ibn Muhammad al-Madani. He studied books of Arabic literature through the eyes of others. He would listen as others read to him books of history and commentaries on the classics. He used to have one of his friends read to him until 3 o'clock in the morning. Today, he is considered to be a reference book in literature and history. Mustafa Ameen, a columnist for Ash-Sharq al-Awsat, wrote: "Be patient with oppressors and wrong-doers for the only five minutes. After a short time, the whip will fall, the shackles will break, the prisoners will be released, and the clouds will dissipate, upon you, then, is only to be patient and to wait." An Arab poet wrote: "How many calamities cause one to lose patience? But from them, the exit is with ALLĀH." I once met with the Mufti of Albania in Riyadh. He...

Pearls Of Motivation

 *Pearls Of Motivation* When you want to correct others, you have to find a way to emotionally reach them.

﷽ *300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ* 87.  *The Messenger of Allah was given the choice between life and death.* • Sayyidina Abu Sa'id al-Khudri relates that the Messenger of Allah announced to his Companions: “Allah has given a slave the choice between this world and that which is  with Him. That slave has chosen that which is with Allah.” Later, they found out that the  "slave‟ was actually in reference to the beloved Messenger of Allah himself. [Bukhari;  Muslim]

Surah Yunus, Verse 69/70

﷽  *Surah Yunus, Verse 69:* قُلْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ Say: "Verily, those who invent lie against Allah will never be successful" #COMMENTARY In Qur-ānic language "prosperity" refers both to our every-day life and to the higher life within us, to the Present and the Future, health and strength, opportunities and resources, a spirit of contentment, and the power of influencing others. Here there seems to be an extra touch of meaning. A liar not only deprives himself of prosperity in all senses, but his "lie" itself against ALLĀH will not succeed: it will and must be found out. ﷽ *Surah Yunus, Verse 70:* مَتَاعٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ الْعَذَابَ الشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ A brief enjoyment in this world! - and then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve [in Allah, belie His Messengers, deny a...

THE REALITIES OF DREAMS

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 20th day of Dhul Hijjah. (Friday, 30th of July 2021). *_THE REALITIES OF DREAMS_* BismilLah.  Sheikh Muhammed Saalih Al-Munaajjid mentioned in one of his articles that; Towards the end of time, hardly any dreams will be untrue, The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, his family and companions) said so. “That will be because the Prophethood and its effects will be so far away in time, so the believers will be given some compensation in the form of dreams which will bring them some good news or will help them to be patient and steadfast in their faith.” (al-Bukhaari, 6499; Muslim, 4200). Dreams are of three types: Rahmaani (Inspiration from ALLAH), nafsaani (psychological, they come from within a person) and shaytaani (those that come from the Shaytaan). The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: a dream from ALLAH, a dream which causes distress and which comes from the Shaytaan, ...

The Senate President* [[---------2️⃣2️⃣----------]]

 *The Senate President* [[---------2️⃣2️⃣----------]] -------------------------------------  *Husbands Who Maltreat Their Wives Bcos They Give Birth To Female Children:* بسم الله الر حمان الر حيم It is incorrect to believe that one has been humiliated by being granted a girl; rather it is an honour, a bounty and a gate towards Paradise. Mr Senate President Sir! How many girls have been far more merciful and beneficial to their parents than their brothers? How many times has a son been a source of grief for his parents, to the point that they wished he was never born? It is enough of an honour for girls that the Prophets, may Allah exalt their mention, had daughters and that most of the children of our beloved Prophet  were daughters, namely: Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kalthoom and Fatimah. Therefore, Children are no doubt a great gift from Almighty Allah to all parents.. And parents must think of their children as such treasures that all the wealth and material resources are w...

300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ Number 86.

 ﷽ *300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ* Number 86.  *A Christian delegation attempting to challenge him about tawheed then feared his curse and pleaded for his amnesty.* • A delegation from the Christians of Najran (in Yemen) came to Madinah to argue about Prophet Isa or Jesus, claiming that he was divine and the son of Allah. Then Allah revealed: “If anyone disputes in this matter with you, now after knowledge has come to you, say: come let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie!” [Qur‟an 3:61] This act of invoking curse of Allah upon the wrongdoers is referred to as Mubahalah. Imam ibn Ishaq said, “When this verse came to the Messenger from Allah , thus judging between him and the People of the Book, Allah also commanded the Prophet to call them to the Mubahalah if they still refused the truth. The Prophet called them to the Mubahalah. They sa...

﷽ *Surah Yunus, Verse 67:* هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ He it is Who has appointed for you the night that you may rest therein, and the day to make things visible (to you). Verily, in this are Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for a people who listen (i.e. those who think deeply). #COMMENTARY Our physical life and our higher life in so far as it is linked with the physical --- is sustained by the alteration of rest and activity, and the fit environment for this alteration is the succession of Nights and Days in our physical world. The Day makes the things "visible to us" a beautiful symbol, not only of the physical work for which we go about by day, but of the higher activities which are fitly associated with seeing, perception and enquiry. Intuition (insight) is a little out of that circle because that may come by night, when our other facultie...

BismilLah.  Please note that "Every human is a slave. You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of ALLAH. You either live life by your rules or the rules of ALLAH. How can the heart travel to ALLAH if it's chained by its desires of this temporary world? Sheikh Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah said O' son of Aadam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you will win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you will lose both. Meaning if you stick to obedience to the CREATOR ALLAH you will benefit from this world and the hereafter but if you abandon ALLAH'S rules and follow as you wish, you looses both.  Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey ALLAH. "Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from ALLAH. Captured is he, who ...

And it behoves every sincere Muslim to publicly condemn this blatant disrespect to our religion and demand an unreserved apology from the Sahara Reporters online newspaper and the Afenifere group.
