THE RIGHT WAY TO RESPOND TO THOSE WHO OFFEND US

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 2nd day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Wednesday 22nd February. 2023). *_THE RIGHT WAY TO RESPOND TO THOSE WHO OFFEND US_*. BismilLah. 


As Ramadhan approaches, let's prepare ourselves and strive to be a born-again Muslim. 

If you are having trouble with your family, In-laws? Spouse? Relatives?..... The best way to maintain a healthy relationship is to always forgive and forget. No one is perfect. All perfections ONLY belong to ALLAAH. Whether people speak evil of us, in our presence or behind our back, or they do evil to us in either of those ways, all is known to ALLAH Almighty. It is not for us to punish. Our best course is not to do evil in our turn, but to do what will best repel the evil. Two evils do not make a good.


ALLAH Almighty in the Noble Qur'an commands us in several places to return the evil that is done to us by others to not only with good but with best! ALLAH says in the Quran;

"The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with a better action (i.e. ALLAH orders the faithful believers to be patient in the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend." Quran (Surah Al-Fusillat, Verse 34)


So let us all always focus on our treatment towards others and those who don't like us will have no reason but to be nice and like us be-iznilLah. 


*_May ALLAH Guide us All_*. 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...
