WHO ARE YOUR ROLE MODELS?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 12th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Tuesday 6th December. 2022). *_WHO ARE  YOUR ROLE MODELS?_*. BismilLah. 


Let's Look at the way some admire the so-called  "stars"   Footballers , Musicians, Actors and Actresses but SOME of these are the people who do not have modesty, no shyness, no fear of ALLAH (GOD) but very, unfortunately, unfortunately they have become role model for many Muslims. Whatever they say or do is the best.


This reminds me of one hadeeth of our beloved Prophet peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him, who said a time will come......

And a man will be admired for his intelligence, manners  and strength, though indeed he will not have belief equal to a mustard seed in his heart." 

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 6497 (To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq) In-book reference: Book 81, Hadith 86.


The people we see and admire to be intelligent and cool, are the unwise because ALLAH says about those who would be in the hellfire whiles  they are in the fire, they would say.....: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!" The Noble Quran 67:10. Allahu Akbar. 


Please note that the fear of ALLAH is the beginning of wisdom. If we claim to be Muslims and yet our role models are those so-called stars then we still have a long way to go in our belief system. Let's fear ALLAH and study the lifestyle of our beloved Messenger of ALLAH and his companions, they were the best generation of the entire humanity ever lived. 


*_May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu,  The Living) guide us from any misguidance_*. 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...
