  *A true (good practicing) Muslim or Muslimah will spend his or her money in the following ways:* 1. Sadaqa - For the sake of Allah. Sadaqa multiplies the wealth, it keeps us away from harm, danger and punishment of the grave. If done properly, sadaqa jariya keeps sending rewards even after death.  2. Family - The Prophet says the best place to spend is on family. If you spend on your family, you get the reward of sadaqa. Spending on family has many benefits. It strengthens love and respect. It prevents family members especially wife and children from stealing, begging and lacking in general. Being nice to them makes one a good Muslim as mentioned by Al-Bukhari. 3. Orphans - No one receives more attention in the Qur’an like the orphans. Allah stresses their status and the benefit of helping them. Find at least one or two orphans in your family or neighbourhood, support their education, health care, feeding, anything. The benefits are: your children will be taken care of by Al...

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 145 *THE INGREDIENTS OF HAPPINESS* In a Hadīth related by Tirmidhi, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of ALLĀH be upon him) said: "Whoever spends the night safely in his place of sleep, while he is physically healthy and has sufficient sustenance for his day, it is as if he achieved the world in its entirety." The meaning of this is that if one has enough food and a safe place to sleep, then he has achieved the best of the good things in this world. And many are those who are at this level in life but are thankless nonetheless. ALLĀH, the Almighty, said to His Messenger (Blessings and Peace of ALLĀH be upon him): Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 3: حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسْتَقْسِمُوا بِالْأَزْلَامِ ذَٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ الْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ا...

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 144 *ALLĀH (ALONE) IS SUFFICIENT FOR US, AND HE IS THE BEST DISPOSER OF AFFAIRS (FOR US).* Prophet Ibrāhīm (Abraham) [may ALLĀH be pleased with him] said this phrase when he was thrown into the fire and it became cool and peaceful for him. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace of ALLĀH be upon him) said it at the battle of Uhud and ALLĀH made him victorious. When Ibrāhīm was placed where the fire was to be set, the Angel Jibreel came to him and asked, "Do you need anything from me?" Ibrāhīm confidently responded, "From you, no. But from Almighty ALLĀH, yes!" Prophet Mūsa (Moses) [may ALLĀH be pleased with him] saw the sea in front of him and the enemy behind him, and he said: Surah Ash-Shuara, Verse 62: قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ [Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily!

 ﷽ *300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ* Number 119.  *The Messenger of Allah had a sweet and pleasant humour.* • The brother of Sayyidina Anas ibn Malik was called Abu 'Umayr and he had a bird whose name was al-nughayr. The bird died and the child grieved for it, and the Messenger of Allah cheered him up by saying, “O Abu 'Umayr, what happened to al-nughayr?” The nughayr is a small bird like a sparrow, or it was said that it is a nightingale. [Bukhari; Muslim] This incident highlights the soft and delightful humour of the Messenger of Allah.

﷽ *Surah Hud, Verse 25:* وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ And indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people (and he said): "I have come to you as a plain warner." ﷽ *Surah Hud, Verse 26:* أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ "That you worship none but Allah, surely, I fear for you the torment of a painful Day." #COMMENTARY Noah's mission was to a wicked world, plunged in sin. The mission had a double character, as in the mission of all Prophets of ALLĀH: it had to warn men against evil and call them to repentance, and it had to give them the glad tidings of ALLĀH's Grace in case they turned back to Almighty ALLĀH: it was a Guidance and Mercy.

(Tuesday, 31st of August 2021). *_PERSISTENT SINS AND PERSISTENT IN SEEKING FORGIVENESS_*. *BismilLah*.  Some Muslim sisters and brothers do ask regularly, *_Would ALLAH forgive me for such and such sins_*?. SubhaaAllah, this kind of question is even forbidden to ask to be frank because ALLAH actually LOVE those who return to HIM seeking forgiveness regardless of how often we sin and ask for forgiveness.  ALLAH says; "Say to Mankind: O Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of ALLAH, verily ALLAH forgives ALL sins. Truly, HE is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (Quran 39:53). Allahu Akbar. Even if Shirk, just repent and seek forgiveness my dear.  In the Quran, ALLAH repeatedly reminds us that HE is the Forgiving and the Merciful.

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *SHORTCUTS TO JANNAH* ➖➖➖  *INTRODUCTION* ➖➖➖ There is no doubt that the ultimate success is to enter through the gates of Paradise. Imagine being among the inhabitants of a place where there is no suffering, no discomfort and no hardship.  What a pleasure it would be! But as human beings, we tend to be easily distracted and tend to forget about our ultimate goal.  Allaah(ﷻ)'s mercy cannot be calculated, quantified or imagined. No amount of volumes of book can enlist Allaah(ﷻ)'s mercy. Allaah(ﷻ), out of His infinite mercy has given us so many ways to seek paradise and  if we knew even 50% of these ways, we would marvel at the mercy of our Lord. I believe everyone wants to enter Jannah by all means available. So stay tuned as we would be going through some shortcuts to Jannah in our coming episodes.  May Allaah make us among the inhabitants of Jannah.  آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ _To be continued... إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللّٰهُ‎_

There is no virtue, quite the contrary, in rubbing our noses to the ground before men. We are not to be arrogant even before men because we are humble as in ALLĀH's sight. Nor does true humility lose self-confidence; for that self-confidence arises from confidence in the support and help of ALLĀH (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). ﷽ *Surah Hud, Verse 24:* مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْأَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ The likeness of the two p...

BismilLah.  Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (ALLAH'S Messenger ) said to him: "May I show you the gates of goodness? (They are): (1) Fasting is a screen from Hell. (2) As-Sadaqah (deeds of charity in ALLAH'S Cause) extinguishes (removes) the sins, as the water extinguishes the fire. (3) Standing in Salat (performing of prayers) by a person during the middle (or the last third) part of a night." Then the Prophet (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) recited: "Their sides forsake their beds." (QURAN 32:16) (Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi) (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi). Search for the tafseer of this beautiful verse.  *_May ALLAH, AL-GHAFOOR (The Forgiving, The Exceedingly Forgiving) aid us to be able to be steadfast in Fasting, given sadaqah and praying at night_*. Aameen.

 ﷽ *REMINDER FOR SUNNĀH FASTING!* Tomorrow is Monday. Please, endeavour to fast and remind others. Fasting twice a week (i.e Monday and Thursday) helps keep our faith strong and our desires under control. It also keeps us more conscious of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). This is the formula for success given to us by our beloved prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). ✔️'Ā'ishah (R.A.) said, "The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) used to take care to fast on Mondays and Thursdays." (at-Tirmidhi) May Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) make it easy for us and accept it as an act of Ibadah (worship). May He also guide us through our little efforts and answer our positive prayers only if what we request will be of benefit to us both Here and the Hereafter. Ameen

 Beneficial advice for women who are already married and to those about to be married.

Soon he will come to us.‘ [Ahmad & At-Tirmithi]. 3 — Avoid being unappreciative or unthankful to your husband, “Allah does not look to the woman who does not appreciate her husband while she cannot stand his departing her.” [An-Nasaii]. 4 – Do not ask your husband for divorce for no reason. The Prophet PBUH warned women who ask for divorce for no sound reason in his Hadith, “Any woma...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 21st day of Muharram. (Sunday, 29th of August 2021). *_Purification of Our Souls_*. *BismilLah*. The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Macca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyatun-nafs).  ALLAH says: HE has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also ALLAH says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes  to ALLAH with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrogance, and worldliness, fornication, stealing. In their place, we must adorn the heart with spiritual virtues such as learning the Quran and applying in our lifes, help...

The more we complain about our suffering the worse we become due to lack of appreciation for the most important in life "OUR GOOD HEALTH". Even the sick person lying on bed helpless is encouraged to say Alhamdulillah as his or her sins are been wipe away due to the illness and you are complaining.     When we are content with what ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) has for us in this world, we will free our mind to work for our Hereafter.

 [Friday Sermon] There's No Peace, No Order And No Security Without Justice! By Imam Murtadha Gusau In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful All praise is due to Allah the Lord of all creation. May Allah grant His praise, manifest his virtue and elevate the status of the noblest of the Prophets and the Seal of the Messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and protect him, protect the message of Islam, protect his family and all his companions from any harm in this life or the next.

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 141 *THE CURSES OF THE FOOLISH ARE OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO YOU* Abraham Lincoln, American's 16th President, said: "I never read malicious hostile letters that are sent to me. I never open the envelopes and never bother responding to them. If I were to become busy in dealing with such matters, I would have no time left to do things for my people." Surah An-Nisa, Verse 63: أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَعِظْهُمْ وَقُل لَّهُمْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا بَلِيغًا They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in Allah, worship Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves. Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 85: وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ And We create...
