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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
