 Hadith of the day The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: In Paradise there is a street to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us. [Muslim 2833]

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 8th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Monday 30th January. 2023). *_ORIGINAL SIN IS NOT PART OF ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Salvation is a powerful word that the dictionary defines as the act of preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.  Theologically it is a spiritual rescue from sin and its consequences.  More specifically, in Christianity, it is associated with redemption and the atonement of Issah alaihi salaam strange to the teachings of Jesus Christ peace be upon him.  Salvation in Islam is a very different concept.  While it does offer deliverance from the fires of hell, it also rejects some of the basic principles of Christianity and states clearly that salvation is attained only through submission to the Most Merciful, ALLAH as Issah alaihi salaam also taught his companions. When someone asked Jesus Christ (Issah alaihi salaam) about salvation, what was his response? Read Mathew 19:16-17 where Je...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-As-Sabt. 6th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Saturday 28th January. 2023). *ARE WE PRACTICING THE SUNNAH BY MOUTH OR ACTION?*. BismilLah.  *_Keeping silent when Angry_*: The Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "If any of you becomes angry, let him keep silent." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad, 1/329; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 693, 4027). This is because in most cases, the angry person loses self-control and couldl utter words of kufr (from which we seek refuge with ALLAH), or curses, or the word of divorce (talaaq) which would destroy his home, or words of slander which would bring him the enmity and hatred of others. So, in short, keeping silent is the solution which helps one to avoid all that. This is not new to almost all readers BUT  do we implement this knowledge in our daily lives? I guess I'm right to say NO including myself, That's why ALLAH commanded us to remind each other regularly so that i...

O you who have believed, ask ALLAH to confer blessing upon him and ask Allah to grant him peace. Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Laila: Ka'b bin 'Ujrah met me and said, "Shall I not give you a present I got from the Prophet (sallalLaahuAlaihiWasallam)?" 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes, give it to me." He said, "We asked ALLAH'S Messenger saying, 'O ALLAH'S Messenger!

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 3rd day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Wednesday 25th January. 2023). *_HOW TO KNOW WHO ALLAH IS_*. BismilLah.  In order to worship ALLAH you must strive to know HIM. And to do that You must study HIS attributes. We are actually REQUIRED to know ALLAH.  Whenever anything other than ALLAH is in our hearts, whenever any other than ALLAH is the ONE WHOM we love and submit to, then we invite corruption into our hearts and it leads to our destruction. Knowing that ALLAH is the cause of life for the individual is the second birth that every person who believes in ALLAH will experience. There is no doubt that knowing ALLAH is the greatest and noblest of knowledge. It is the ilm (the beneficial knowledge) we are encouraged to seek. When you learn about ALLAH, you are learning about the purpose of your existence. You are learning about living a life set on the right course. Are we ready to know HIM then let us us study HIS attributes from now.  *...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 2nd day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Tuesday 24th January. 2023). *_THE MERCY OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever says, 'Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in Qadir,'* one hundred times, will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he." The meaning is: None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH (Alone) Who has no partner; to HIM belongs the kingdom (of the universe), and for HIM are all the praises, and HE has the power to do everything.

From the above, we can't belittle any of these 3 major sins as you may die as a disbeliever committing these sins Astaqfirullah.  *_May ALLAH protect us and our offsprings from such unfortunate ending_*. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 29th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1444AH (Sunday 22nd January. 2023). *_LET'S REVIVE THE SUNNAH_*. BismilLah. ALLAH’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A house will be built in Paradise for one who offers 12 Rak'aat in a day and evening as follows: 4 Rak'aat before and 2 after the Dhuhr Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib Prayer, 2 after the ‘Ishaa’ Prayer and 2 before the Fajr Prayer." Narrated by Imam at-Tirmizi No. 380.  The 4 rakaats before zuhur and asr have two tashahhud but one tasleem at the end.   The ‘Asr (Late-Afternoon) Prayer has no routine Sunnah (basic recommended voluntary prayer). However, it is mustahabb (preferable and recommended) that one prays 4 Rak'aat before the ‘Asr Prayer. The 4 Rak'ahs are the ones intended by the Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) in saying: "May ALLAH have mercy on one who prays 4 raka’aat before the ‘Asr Prayer." Narrated by at-Tirmidhi no....

Scholars based on QUR'AN and Sunnah has ruled that, for a man to embrace and hug his daughter/ sister, or kiss her on the head or cheek or between the eyes by way of showing compassion, kindness and love is permissible and recommended, even if she is an adult, on condition that there be no fear of fitnah or provocation of desire. Excluded from that is kissing on the mouth or any sensitive area, which is only for spouses, and usually provokes desire.  Let's be careful as shaitan is an open enemy who can cause us to commit a grave sin against ourselves as we see and hear happening on daily basis fathers impregnating their daughters, brothers impregnating their biological sisters etc. astaghfirullah. ALLAH has warned us not to go near Zina in Quran 17 vs 32. HE didn't say don't do it, he says don't go...
