HOW STRONG IS OUR LOVE FOR ALLAH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 13th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Wednesday 7th December. 2022). HOW STRONG IS OUR LOVE FOR ALLAH_*. BismilLah. 


There are so many things and people in our lives that hold a place in our heart. This can include parents, spouses, children, our home, and our wealth. We love these people and objects, and each time we have something new to love, we give that thing or person a part of our heart.


We should always be sure, however, that the most significant amount of love we have is our love of ALLAH.

This means that while we love many other things, we should never replace the love of ALLAH with anything else. This is because if we love anything or anyone else the way we should only love ALLAH, it will never satisfy us and we will never feel content.


ALLAH says in the Quran, “Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH do the hearts find rest/peace.” [Quran 13:28]


Unless we are remembering ALLAH, our hearts will not be at ease.


Be it a loved one or a material object, we will constantly be in worry about it or disappointed because of it. This is because the happiness we are seeking from that beloved one or thing can only be granted by ALLAH. By loving the creation in that way, we forget that ALLAH is the only One who can help us and grant us happiness.


So yes, while you should love your family members, and you can hold material objects close to your heart, just be sure not to let the love of the Creator be taken by any of the CREATION. Save that for ALLAH and ALLAH alone so that HE may love you and grant you happiness and contentment in this life and the

next in shaa ALLAH.


As ALLAH mentions, “And [yet], among the people are those who take other than ALLAH as equals [to HIM]. They love them as they [should] love ALLAH. But those who believe are stronger in love for ALLAH.” [Quran 2:165]


*_May ALLAH fill our heart with the love of HIM, and may you be among those HE loves as well_*. *_May ALLAH remove all sorrow and grief from our hearts, and fill them with happiness and contentment always_*. 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
