STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE SADAQA EVEN IF BY SMILING

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 6th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1444AH (Friday 30th December. 2022).

*_STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE  SADAQA EVEN IF BY SMILING_*. BismilLah.


The last and Final Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to ALLAH) every day that the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage onto it, is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also Sadaqa, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the Masjid) is also Sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa.” [Sahih Bukhari]. So you see, sadaqah is not just giving money. Appreciate what you've got from ALLAH and stop complaining to help you gain more from ALLAH. 


Once a person came to an Alim (scholar in Islam) and complained to him about his poverty, saying that he was in great distress and would prefer death to such a life. The Alim said to him, “Are you willing to have your eyes taken out in exchange for ten thousand Dirhams (silver coins)?” He replied, “Certainly not!” The Alim then asked, “Would you agree to have your hands and feet cut off in return for twenty thousand Dirhams?” The man said that he would not agree to any such thing. 


So the Alim asked if he were at least willing to be made a madman in exchange for ten thousand Dirhams. The man said that he was not willing. 


At this, the Alim said to him, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You admit that ALLAH Ta'ala has granted you so many gifts, and yet you complain of poverty!” [Fadhail-e-Sadaqaat]. 


The value of ALLAH'S gifts is fully understood when we lose them. Let us be more thankful to our Lord by using HIS gifts to praise, worship and obey HIM. Let's strive to praise ALLAH regardless of our situation. Say Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal all the time with eemaan. 


*_May ALLAH have mercy on our lack of appreciation and protect our eemaan from any satanic influences_*. 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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
