LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT ALLAH SAYS IN THE QUR'AN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 23th day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Thursday, 23rd of June, 2022). *_LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT ALLAH SAYS IN THE QUR'AN_*. BismilLah. 


ALLAH Says in Qur’an 2:3

ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ 

Believers are those "Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them.


Al-Ghaib: literally means a thing not seen. But this word includes vast meanings: Belief in ALLAH, Angels, Holy Books, ALLAH'S Messengers, Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments). It also includes what ALLAH and HIS Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) informed about the knowledge of the matters of past, present, and future, e.g., news about the creation of the heavens and earth, botanical and zoological life, the news about the nations of the past, and about Paradise and Hell.


Perform As-Salat: The performance of Salat (prayers). It means that:

a) Each and every Muslim, male or female, is obliged to offer his Salat (prayers) regularly five times a day at the specified times; the male in the mosque in congregation and as for the female it is better to offer them at home. As the Prophet has said: "Order your children to perform Salat (prayers) at the age of seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten." The chief (of a family, town, tribe) and the Muslim rulers of a country are held responsible before ALLAH in case of non-fulfillment of this obligation by the Muslims under their authority.


b) One must offer the Salat (prayers) as the Prophet used to offer them with all their rules and regulations, i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, as he has said: "Offer your Salat (prayers) the way you see me performing them." [See Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/631(O.P.604) and 9/7246 (O.P.352)] [For the characteristics of the Salat (prayer) of the Prophet, see Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/735, 736, 737, 766, 823, 824 (O.P.702, 703, 704, 733, 786, 787)].


Zakat (obligatory charity): A certain fixed proportion of the wealth and of every kind of the property liable to Zakat of a Muslim to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of Zakat is obligatory as it is one of the five pillars of Islam. Zakat is the major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim society to prosperity and security. [See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book of Zakat, No. 24].


The last part says, and spend your wealth which HE ALLAH has given us to the poor, needy, relatives and Islamic projects. *_May ALLAH aid us to practice as we learn and protect us from any satanic influences^*. 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
