REAL MEANING of SUCCESS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis.18th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 9th February. 2023).

*_REAL MEANING of SUCCESS_*. BismilLah. 


Imam Muslim May ALLAH be pleased with him narrated that The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “He is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and been made contented by ALLAH with what HE has given him.


Nowadays when people say, ‘So so and so is very successful’ what they mean is, ‘He/she is making a lot of money or wealth.’ In the above-mentioned hadith ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) explains who qualifies to be called successful. It’s not having Car X, House in W and Job Z but rather anyone who accepts and practices Islam as His/her way of life. Someone who finds something to eat and is healthy and someone who Posses a thankful heart. Meaning we must try to appreciate the little we have as Muslims and look at those below us not those above us then praise ALLAH regularly for granting us success over the forces of evil. Visit any hospital today and tell me if you are ready to exchange your good health for the rich man lying down in a small hospital bed for his entire wealth, obviously no isn't it? Please say Alhamdulillah regardless of your situation because millions are worse than you and maybe they are more pious than you and me. *_May ALLAH grant us the understanding of HIS creation and make us among those who are thankful to HIM_*. 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 ŁŠَŲ§ٓŲ£َŁŠُّŁ‡َŲ§ Ł±Ł„َّŲ°ِŁŠŁ†َ Ų”َŲ§Ł…َŁ†ُŁˆٓŲ§ْ Ų„ِŲ°َŲ§ Ł†ُŁˆŲÆِŁŠَ Ł„ِŁ„ŲµَّŁ„َŁˆٰŲ©ِ Ł…ِŁ† ŁŠَŁˆۡŁ…ِ Ł±Ł„ۡŲ¬ُŁ…ُŲ¹َŲ©ِ ŁَŁ±Ų³ۡŲ¹َŁˆۡŲ§ْ Ų„ِŁ„َŁ‰ٰ Ų°ِŁƒۡŲ±ِ Ł±Ł„Ł„َّŁ‡ِ ŁˆَŲ°َŲ±ُŁˆŲ§ْ Ł±Ł„ۡŲØَŁŠۡŲ¹َۚ Ų°َٰŁ„ِŁƒُŁ…ۡ Ų®َŁŠۡŲ±ࣱ Ł„َّŁƒُŁ…ۡ Ų„ِŁ† ŁƒُŁ†ŲŖُŁ…ۡ ŲŖَŲ¹ۡŁ„َŁ…ُŁˆŁ†َ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of JumuŹæah [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 (ļ·ŗ) 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...

She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go.

So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
