USING OUR INCOME OR WEALTH WISELY

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 28th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Sunday 19th February. 2023). *_USING OUR INCOME OR WEALTH WISELY_*. BismilLaah.


Imaam Abu Huraira (may ALLAH be pleased with him) reported ALLAH'S Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: A servant says, My wealth. my wealth, but out of his wealth three things are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as a charity, and this is what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave it for other people. (Sahih Muslim, Book 55, Hadith 6).


Let's invest our little savings into the ways of ALLAH such as supporting orphans, support In building Mosques and Islamic Schools, Wells for Communities in need of drinking water, supporting our relatives and those in need etc. These things are our true savings which can benefit us when we die. We don't know when death would knock on us so why save so much in the bank which will not benefit us instead of saving it with ALLAH? I don't want to hear any BUT, let's trust ALLAH and save our money with HIM through the few mentioned charity works. ALLAH mentioned in the Qur'an about these things I mentioned above and more of such are actually a beautiful loan to ALLAH and HE  will pay us back when we die. What a beautiful loan indeed. 


*_May ALLAH (Ar-Razzaaq, The Provider/ Sustainer) aid us to be able to use our income for charity works purely to please 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 ...

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 ŁƒَŁَŲ±َ Ł±Ł„َّŲ°ِŁŠŁ†َ Ł‚َŲ§Ł„ُŁˆٓŲ§ْ Ų„ِŁ†َّ Ł±Ł„Ł„َّŁ‡َ Ł‡ُŁˆَ Ł±Ł„ۡŁ…َŲ³ِŁŠŲ­ُ Ł±ŲØۡŁ†ُ Ł…َŲ±ۡŁŠَŁ…َۖ ŁˆَŁ‚َŲ§Ł„َ Ł±Ł„ۡŁ…َŲ³ِŁŠŲ­ُ ŁŠَٰŲØَŁ†ِŁŠٓ Ų„ِŲ³ۡŲ±َٰٓŲ”ِŁŠŁ„َ Ł±Ų¹ۡŲØُŲÆُŁˆŲ§ْ Ł±Ł„Ł„َّŁ‡َ Ų±َŲØِّŁŠ ŁˆَŲ±َŲØَّŁƒُŁ…ۡۖ Ų„ِŁ†َّŁ‡ُŪ„ Ł…َŁ† ŁŠُŲ“ۡŲ±ِŁƒۡ ŲØِŁ±Ł„Ł„َّŁ‡ِ ŁَŁ‚َŲÆۡ Ų­َŲ±َّŁ…َ Ł±Ł„Ł„َّŁ‡ُ Ų¹َŁ„َŁŠۡŁ‡ِ Ł±Ł„ۡŲ¬َŁ†َّŲ©َ ŁˆَŁ…َŲ£ۡŁˆَŁ‰ٰŁ‡ُ Ł±Ł„Ł†َّŲ§Ų±ُۖ ŁˆَŁ…َŲ§ Ł„ِŁ„ŲøَّٰŁ„ِŁ…ِŁŠŁ†َ Ł…ِŁ†ۡ Ų£َŁ†Ųµَ...

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...
