SOME WAYS SATAN USES TO DAMAGE OUR GOOD DEEDS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum al-ithnayn, 28th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Monday, 31st of January 2022). *_SOME WAYS SATAN USES TO DAMAGE OUR GOOD DEEDS_*. BismilLah.  Satan has so many ways to influence us to sin against our soul. Among them is to Instills feelings of pride and Ar-Riya (showing off). When one does good deeds, Satan is quick to instill feelings of pride followed by the desire to show off one’s virtues or achievements (also referred to as Ar-Riya). He diverts his victim’s mind from vying for the deed’s rewards from ALLAH to expecting praise to flow from people instead.  As Muslims, let’s not forget that the payoff that we desire for our deeds reflects the nature of the intention of doing those deeds. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (Peace be upon him) says: "The most fearful thing I fear for you is Minor Shirk". He (Peace be upon him) was asked about it, and he said: "It is (Ar-Riya’) showing off". Then, he (Peace be upon him) explained it saying, "

JINNS ARE HARMLESS TO BELIEVERS WHO CARRY THEIR WEAPONS ALL THE TIME

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum As-Sabt, 26th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Saturday, 29th of January 2022). *_JINNS  ARE HARMLESS TO BELIEVERS WHO CARRY THEIR WEAPONS ALL THE TIME_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH says ​"and HE created the JINNS and HUMANKIND only to worship HIM"​ They were created before we humans so they are only jealous of us based on how we agreed to worship ALLAH but most of them decided to follow sheitan who is a jinn himself and their imam or leader.  Generally​:- All of them are weak and they flee when they hear QUR'AN recitation except the good ones who are Muslims who hang around to listen to the Quran. Our WEAPONS against them are to be listening to Quran regularly, recite Quran regularly wherever you find yourself suitable, praise ALLAH regularly through azkaar and satan will forever fear you as they always did to Umar RadiAllahu Anhu and his colleagues,  the companions of the Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam.  Offcourse not all jinns are bad. Some are Muslims

 1400 YEARS AGO! PROPHETMUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAMA SAID The Camels will no longer be used as a means of transport; * People will ride on saddles that aren't saddles (cars?) * The distance on earth will become short; * Horses will not be used in wars; * Muslims will defeat the Byzantines which will end with the conquest of Constantinople -Istanbul); * The Jews will gather again to live in Bilad Canaan; * Very tall buildings will be built; * The disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance, with much killing; * Adultery will become widespread, and the drinking of wine will become common; * The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there are 50 women to be looked after by one man. * Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are; * Allah will send a disease to fornicators that will have no cure (Aids?); * People will begin to believe in the stars and reject AL Q

ATTAINING JANNAT IS NOT CHEAP SO LETS STRIVE FOR IT

 *ATTAINING JANNAT IS NOT CHEAP SO LETS STRIVE FOR IT_*. *BismilLah* Paradise is expensive merchandise, and al-Firdaws al-A‘la is the highest and best part of Paradise. No one reaches it except those whom ALLAH has singled out for more of HIS grace due to their efforts on earth to please HIM.  The people of al-Firdaws al-A‘alaa are the ones who hasten to do good as they are commanded. ALLAH, may HE be exalted, says; “And those foremost (in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,) will be foremost (in Paradise). These will be those nearest to ALLAH. In the Gardens of delight (Paradise)” [Quran 56:10-12].  Sheikh Ibn Katheer said:  Whoever competes in doing righteous deeds in this world and wins the contest, in the hereafter he will be among the first to attain reward and honour, for the recompense matches the nature of the deed and as you do, so you will be requited. Tafseer Ibn Katheer (7/517)

SINCERE CHARITY (Sadaqah) is a GUARANTEE INVESTMENT and INCREASES WEALTH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 24th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Thursday, 27th of January 2022). *_SINCERE CHARITY (Sadaqah) is a GUARANTEE INVESTMENT and INCREASES WEALTH_*. BismilLaah. ALLAH, the Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an: "Who will loan to ALLAH a beautiful loan which ALLAH will double unto his/her credit and multiply it many times? 2:245. The above verse teaches us that by generously giving to the poor and needy, ALLAH will increase our wealth and blessings in this life, wipe out sins, increase rewards and provide shade on the Day of Judgment and more in shaa ALLAH. What more could we ask for? Money back, profit, good health, baraqah (blessings) in our wealth, shade on the Day of Judgement, sadaqah is definitely the best investment for our dunya and aakhira. Let's support expecially our relatives in need without  seeking any rewards from them or expecting them to reciprocate our kind gesture if you did it for ALLAH sake.  *_MAY ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Migh

THE REALITY CHECK

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 23rd Jumaadal Aakhir. (Wednesday, 26th of January 2022). *_THE REALITY CHECK_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH says in the Qur'an as we all know that "Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection...(Qur'an 3:185) The awareness of death and its realities guides one to repent and seek forgiveness for sins consistently. It keeps us humble and in check. It brings with it an amount of wisdom that produces tranquility in the face of hardship, inner contentment with our provisions and blessings, and sweetness in performing acts of worship that go towards fulfilling our purpose in this life and keeping our priorities in order.   *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us and increase us in beneficial knowledge_*. Aameen.

Some Recommended Sunnah Salaat to strive for.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 22nd Jumaadal Aakhir. (Tuesday, 25th of January 2022). *_Some Recommended Sunnah Salaat to strive for. BismilLah. ALLAH’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A house will be built in Paradise for one who offers 12 Rak'aat in a day and evening as follows: 4 Rak'aat before and 2 after the Dhuhr Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib Prayer, 2 after the ‘Ishaa’ Prayer and 2 before the Fajr Prayer." Narrated by Imam at-Tirmizi under No. 380. He said: The Hadith narrated by ‘Anbasah quoting Umm Habibah in this chapter is a hassan and sahih hadith. It is under No. 6362 in Sahih al-Jaami’. The 4 rakaats before zuhur and asr has two tashahhud but one tasleem at the end.   The ‘Asr (Late-Afternoon) Prayer has no routine Sunnah (basic recommended voluntary prayer). However, it is mustahab (preferable and recommended) that one prays 4 Rak'aat before the ‘Asr Prayer. The 4 Rak'ahs are the ones intended by the Proph

COVERING OUR OWN AND OTHERS FAULTS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 21st Jumaadal Aakhir. (Monday, 24th of January 2022). *_COVERING OUR OWN AND OTHERS FAULTS_*. BismilLah. Imam Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Everyone from my nation will be pardoned except those who sin in public. Among them is a man who commits an evil deed in the night which ALLAH has covered for him, then in the morning he says: O people, I have done this sin. His Lord had covered him during the night but in the morning he unveils what ALLAH has covered. Sahih Bukhari 5721. We've learned from the above that it's evil to let anyone know of our sins or others sins. We should cry to ALLAH to forgive us instead of boasting this is my girlfriend/ boyfriend and walking with them in public and some even displaying their haraam relation in public on Facebook or whatsapp display etc with excuse of planning marriage. ALLAH has warned not to forgive such pe

FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS Continues

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 20th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Sunday, 23rd of January 2022). *_FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS Continues_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue from our reminder yesterday.  The third deed is Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness from ALLAH), and this too does not require us to spend of our life, wealth, or time. Whenever a person happens to commit a small or big sin, he should immediately feel remorseful about it and say Astaghfirullah, which means: “O ALLAH. I seek Your forgiveness.” Its a key to all doors in life. Regularly say Astaqfurallah and in shaa ALLAH it will help you a lot.    The fourth deed is Isti’aazah. Isti’aazah means to seek protection. Before we even begin to recite the Qur’an we recite A'uuzubillah minash sheitaanir rajeem which means “I seek ALLAH'S protection against the accursed and rejected Shaytan.” This action of ours is also Isti’azah because what we are essentially saying is, “O ALLAH! Take us within your protection a

FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 19th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Saturday, 22nd of January 2022). *_FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS_*. BismilLah. The first deed is Shukr (Gratitude to ALLAH). Firstly, you need to make it a habit that every day when you get up in the morning and before you sleep at night you glance at yourself and your circumstances and then reflect on the spiritual and material Blessings that ALLAH has bestowed upon you, and give a collective thanks to HIM for them. Especially you need to reflect on the wealth of Eeman (true faith in ALLAH) and easy circumstances that ALLAH has given you and give your heartfelt thanks to HIM for them, and resolve to use those gifts in a proper way.  Besides this, whenever a thought crosses your mind about any of the bounties from ALLAH that you enjoy, you should thank HIM quietly, in your heart by saying ALHAMDULILLAH. In other words, whenever something happens according to what you wished or wanted and you feel happy about it

Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 129 THE PROPHET'S PLANS TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM BEYOND ARABIA Late in the six year A.H., on his return from Hudaibiyah, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) decided to send messages to the kings beyond Arabia calling them to Islam.

DO NOT IGNORE THE PHYSICAL INGREDIENTS OF FAITH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Jumuat, 18th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Friday, 21st of January 2022). *_DO NOT IGNORE THE PHYSICAL INGREDIENTS OF FAITH_*. BismilLah. Physical actions such as the Salaat, Fasting, Zakaat and Hajj etc is an essential part of faith, without which faith is not valid, and a lack of physical action is indicative of a lack of faith in the heart, because they are strongly interconnected. Whoever thinks that there could be strong and sound faith without that leading to physical action (righteous deeds), even though he knows about his religious duties and is able to do them, is thinking that something impossible is possible, and is denying the connection between physical action and what is in the heart. Do not say my heart is pure but and I don't do bad things so I deserve paradise.  Let's step up our efforts to act as Muslims by following what we are required of us if indeed we want to die as Muslim. Please remember today is Friday. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding

ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 17th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Thursday, 20th of January 2022). *_ACTS THAT CAN EARN US PARADISE_*. BismilLah.  As Muslims we must always learn and implement actions that can earn us the Pleasure of ALLAH our CREATOR in return for HIS Paradise awaiting HIS sincere servants.  Some of the things that can get us closer to ALLAH are , fasting regularly, Obedience to ALLAH, HIS Messenger, Our Parents etc. following funeral procession of a Muslim, feeding poor people, visiting sick people regularly etc.  Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu) reported, that ALLAH'S Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) (again) said: Who has followed a funeral procession today? Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu 'anhu) said: I have. He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam - the Holy Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy today Abu Bakr

SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO PONDER, REFLECT AND PRACTICE

 SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO PONDER, REFLECT AND PRACTICE 1. If your children lie to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour. 2. If your children are not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them. 3. If your children had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them. 4. If your children do not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public. 5. If your children take things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them choose what they want. 6. If your children are cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.  7. If your children do not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking, you order and command them.     8. If your children are too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to goo

 ﷽ Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar). Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 128 THE SECOND STAGE A NEW PHASE OF ISLAMIC ACTION  Al-Hudaibiyah Truce marked a new phase in the process of Islamic action and life of the Muslims.  Quraish, a bitter enemy of Islam, now withdraws from the war arena and embraces a peaceful  settlement with the Muslims, thus the third support of a tripartite enemy (Quraish, Ghatfan and the  Jews) is broken, and being the holder of the banner of paganism in Arabia, the other pagans’  aggressive feelings towards Islam considerably subsided. Ghatfan Tribe no longer constituted any  remarkable threat, and their provocative deeds were mainly Jewish-instigated actions. The Jews,  after being banished from Madinah, resorted to Khaibar to change it into a hot bed of intrigues  against the Prophet (Peace be upon him). There, they used to hatch their plots, ignite the fire of  dissension and allure the Arabs living in the vicinity of Madinah to join th

REMINDER FOR SUNNĀH FASTING!

 ﷽ *REMINDER FOR SUNNĀH FASTING!* Tomorrow is Thursday. 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

THE REAL AND TRUE TREASURE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 16th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Wednesday, 19th of January 2022). *_THE REAL AND TRUE TREASURE_*.  BismilLaah. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “ALLAH gives worldly things to those HE loves and to those HE does not love, but HE grant eeman (faith) only to those HE loves most, so he who is given eeman by ALLAH, has been loved by HIM.” [Ahmad, Bayhaqiy]. The most priceless treasure on earth is eeman(faith or belief system). This is the currency that will buy us eternal happiness and all the riches you want to keep forever. Thus, whoever is given the treasure of eeman is among the most beloved people to ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala). We must strive to earn that from ALLAH, ALLAH does not just grant it without our efforts even though HE does as HE wishes.  If something is not in your share in this worldly life (e.g. car, house, nice clothes, good food) etc, it makes no difference. The duration of this life compared to the

Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 127 ALHUDAIBIYAH TREATY: SOCIO-POLITICAL IMPACT A series of events confirmed the profound wisdom and splendid results of the peace treaty which Allâh called “a manifest victory”. How could it be otherwise when Quraish had recognized the legitimate Muslims’ existence on the scene of political life in Arabia, and began to deal with the believers on equal terms. Quraish in the light of the articles of the treaty, had indirectly relinquished  its claim to religious leadership, and admitted that they were no longer interested in people other  than Quraish, and washed their hands of any sort of intervention in the religious future of the  Arabian Peninsula. The Muslims did not have in mind to seize people’s property or kill them through  bloody wars, nor did they ever think of pursuing any coercive approaches in their endeavours to  propagate Islam, on the contrary, their sole target was to provide

THE QUR'AN, THE DIRECT SPEECH OF ALLAH FOR MANKIND

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 15th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Tuesday, 18th of January 2022). *_THE QUR'AN, THE DIRECT SPEECH OF ALLAH FOR MANKIND_*. BismilLah.  The Qur'aan is the Direct Speech (kalaam) of ALLAH, in both WORDING and MEANING. From ALLAH it originated and to HIM shall it return. It is an inimitable miracle, indicative of the truthfulness of what the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam was sent with. Its text and meanings are preserved from corruption until the Day of judgement. That's what ALLAH says. ALLAH the Most High Speaks WHATEVER HE wills, WHEN HE wills and HOW HE wills is to perfection. The Speech of ALLAH is real (haqeeqah), with letter (harf) and voice (sawt), but we do not know about the modality and how it is (kayfiyyah), nor do we debate about it or delve into it.

Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar). Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 126

 ﷽ Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar). Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 126 Al-HUDAIBIYAH TREATY (Dhul Qa‘dah 6 A.H.) When Arabia began to witness the large impressive sweep in favour of the Muslims, the forerunners  of the great conquest and success of the Islamic Call started gradually to loom on the demographic  horizon, and the true believers restored their undisputed right to observe worship in the sacred  sanctuary.  It was about the sixth year Hijri when the Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw in a dream, while he  was still in Madinah, that he had entered the sacred sanctuary in Makkah in security with his  followers, and was performing the ceremonies of ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). Their heads were being  shaved and hair cut off. As soon as he informed some of his Companions the contents of his dream,  their hearts leapt up with joy since they found in it the actualization of their deep longing to take  part in pilgrimage and its hallowed rites after an exile
