IMPORTANCE OF BASMALAH (saying: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem OR BismilLah)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 25th day of Shaw'waal. (Thursday, 26th of May, 2022).

*_IMPORTANCE OF BASMALAH (saying: Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem OR BismilLah)_*. BismilLah. 


The Holy Messenger for Mankind Muhammad(sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: "Any action of importance not begun with basmalah(BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem) is devoid of blessing and therefore incomplete." The basmalah begins the Surah al-Fatihah and therefore opens the whole Quran. 


The Almighty describes HIMSELF by means of HIS Attributes. The Attributes of ALLAH are a means of us becoming knowledgeable about HIM. ALLAH , in this respect, does not only introduce the Quran but HE also introduces HIMSELF. The basmalah is an invocation of the Divine Being by HIS supreme Name (ALLAH), followed by two of HIS most beautiful names (Al-Rahman and Al-Rahim), which are in fact two of His principal Divine attributes, The Most Merciful to all HIS creation and especially Merciful to those among HIS creation who chooses to serve him. 


According to the Quran (59:24; 17:110), unto ALLAH belongs the most Beautiful Names. (Asmaa-ul-Husnaa). These Attributes and Names are of a paramount importance since we know the Divine Being through them. So as Muslims we should never start anything without saying Bismillah and we should end anything by saying Alhamdulillah. We should appreciate ALLAH by saying SubhaanAllah and praise ALLAH by saying Maa Shaa ALLAH, Allahu Akbar. Also NEVER EVER promise doing anything without adding IN SHAA ALLAH(If God permit or by the permission of the CREATOR). 

*_We ask ALLAH, AL-QUDDUS to keep guiding our eemaan and protect us from any plot of sheitan_*. Aameen.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
