ARE YOU IN ANY STRESS OR IN ANY TROUBLE? ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DUA OF PROPHET YUNUS ALAIHI SALAAM WHEN HE WAS IN TROUBLE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 26th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Thursday, 22nd of September 2022).

*_ARE YOU IN ANY STRESS OR IN ANY TROUBLE? ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DUA OF PROPHET YUNUS ALAIHI SALAAM WHEN HE WAS IN TROUBLE_*. BismilLah. 


If you study the Seerah or story of Prophet Yunus alaihi Salaam in Qur'an 21:87, you will understand what happened to him when he tried to run away from his duties as a Prophet of ALLAH due to anger of his people not listening to his daawah but what is important to the reminder today is what happened to him finally when he was in trouble when the big fish swallowed him. 


In Qur'an 21:88, ALLAH says 

فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُۨجِى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 

So ALLAH responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do ALLAH save the believers.

means, `ALLAH brought him forth from the belly of the fish and from that darkness.' 


The leader of all Prophets sallallahu alaihi wasallam encouraged us to call upon ALLAH with these words which are;

لااَّ إِلَـهَ إِلااَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَـنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّـلِمِينَ

There is none worthy of worship except YOU, ALLAH, Glorified be YOU! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers. 

The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam said;

No Muslim ever prays to his Lord with these words for anything, but HE will answer his prayer." DID YOU HEAR THAT? ALLAHU AKBAR. 


*_May ALLAH aid us to implement whatever we study sincerely and may HE answer our dua with HIS MERCY_*. Aameen.

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal 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, arrog...
