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.

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...
