LET'S BE MINDFUL OF ALLAH IN ALL WE DO

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 29th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Monday 20th February. 2023). *_LET'S BE MINDFUL OF ALLAH IN ALL WE DO_*. BismilLah. 


Sheikh Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

The most beloved places to ALLAH are the masjids, and among the most hated places to ALLAH are the markets. Sahih Muslim 671. 


What this hadith means is the fact that when we ignore salaat due to our businesses, then we lose any blessings to our businesses, we lie when seeking and buying in markets etc. This is what is happening today, we will hear the azan or are aware it's time for Salaat, but we will busy ourselves with our jobs or sales. Please note that 2 rakaats of salaat is better than any business or job you are doing, so let's be smart. Shut the shop or seek permission from your job and answer the call to salaat by rushing to the masjid or offering your salaat on time. 

Be sincere in your sales. Don't lie to customers to the extent of swearing by ALLAH that you bought it such an amount whilst lying. There is no need to tell your cost of acquiring the item or goods. Just declare your sales price and negotiate without any lies or swearing unless if it's true. 


*_May ALLAH aid us through all affairs and forgive our shortcomings_*. 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 Ł„َŁ‚َŲÆۡ كَفَŲ±َ ٱلَّŲ°ِŁŠŁ†َ Ł‚َŲ§Ł„ُوٓŲ§ْ Ų„ِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡŁ…َŲ³ِيحُ ٱبۡنُ Ł…َŲ±ۡيَŁ…َۖ وَŁ‚َŲ§Ł„َ ٱلۡŁ…َŲ³ِيحُ يَٰŲØَنِيٓ Ų„ِŲ³ۡŲ±َٰٓŲ”ِŁŠŁ„َ ٱعۡŲØُŲÆُواْ ٱللَّهَ Ų±َŲØِّي وَŲ±َŲØَّكُŁ…ۡۖ Ų„ِنَّهُŪ„ Ł…َن يُŲ“ۡŲ±ِكۡ ŲØِٱللَّهِ فَŁ‚َŲÆۡ Ų­َŲ±َّŁ…َ ٱللَّهُ Ų¹َŁ„َيۡهِ ٱلۡŲ¬َنَّŲ©َ وَŁ…َŲ£ۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّŲ§Ų±ُۖ وَŁ…َŲ§ Ł„ِلظَّٰŁ„ِŁ…ِŁŠŁ†َ Ł…ِنۡ Ų£َنصَ...

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...
