When Wahshi threw his javelin, Abdullah another son of Umm 'Ammarah who was with her in the battle rushed forward and fell on Musailma with his sword. Musailma fell dead, and his severed head was hoisted for all to see. Thereupon the Banu Hanifa formally surrendered. With such surrender the valley of Yamama which had so long defied Islam lay prostrate at the feet of the Muslims. The battle of Yamama was the bloodiest battle so far fought by the Muslims.

Bar'a bin Malik and Thabit bin Qais led the contingents of the Ansar, while Abu Khadhifa bin Utba and Zaid bin Khattab led the contingent of the Muhajreen. Against his declared policy, Abu Bakr permitted the veterans of Badr to join the forces of Khalid. Among others, those who joined the force included: Abdur Rahman son of Abu Bakr; Abdullah son of Umar; Abu Dujana the renowned warrior of Uhud; and Manwiyiah who later founded the Umayyad rule.

According to another account, Malik is reported to have said that his wife was his undoing, and that after Khalid had seen her, his death was certain. The prisoners retired for the night. At the dead of night, Malik and his male companions were killed. Here again the accounts differ. According to one account, Khalid had merely ordered that the night being cold, the prisoners should be kept warm, and this order was misunderstood to be an order for murder. The other account is that Khalid in fact ordered the murder of Malik as he had apostatized. _____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 9th day of Ramadan, 1444AH (Friday 31st March, 2023). *_ THE REAL THIEVES OF RAMADAN CONTINUES_*. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Let's conclude on this topic.  The next point to be careful about is: *Bad Akhlaq(practice of virtue, morality and manners):* Fasting is not just restraining from food and drinks but eyes, ears, tongue and all parts of the body should also be fasting.. Stay away from lying, backbiting, cursing, suspicion etc if you want to receive the full rewards for the fasting.  And finally, the biggest thief: *Social Media i.e Facebook, Watsapp, YouTube, etc.*  If you do not use them in the right way, all your good deeds could be taken from you. Don't let this holy month go so that when everyone is receiving their rewards, you are the one who maybe empty-handed. YouTube especially is a place we can easily listen to or watch our scholars tafseer, etc, but it's the same place that can damage our eemaan and aqeedah with

Please request a copy if you couldn't receive the reminder yesterday.  Wasting night: A thief that steals the most valuable time from us. This thief is responsible for turning you away from salaatul layl, istighfar and tawbah and recitation of the Qur'an. Make time your priority without wasting a second in this blessed month.  Stinginess: Give sadaqah, iftaar, and help the orphans.. Give iftaar even if it is half a date or a sip of water, so ALLAH will forgive your sins. Gatherings without dhikr of ALLAH: This thief comes with deep regret on the day of judgement. Don't go to places of gathering if not for Islamic lectures, etc.  Not Helping parents; Whoever in this month does good towards their relatives, ALLAH connects them with HIS mercy on the day of judgement.

The combined forces of Malik and Sajjah received some initial success. They, however, received a set back at a confrontation that took place at Nibhaj. Peace was won on the condition that Sajjah left the region at once. Sajjah accordingly decided to proceed to Yamama, the stronghold of the false prophet Musailma. Musailma a cunning man did not go to war against Sajjah. Instead he invited Sajjah to visit Yamama as his honored guest. Sajjah accepted the invitation and proceeded to Yamama in Central Arabia. Musailma held a royal reception in her honor. Musailma was a handsome man of attractive personality. _____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻... Sajjah was beautiful and passionate. Both w

Immediately on arrival at Zafar, Khalid took the initiative and launched the attack. Umm Zummal and her forces offered stiff resistance, it was by all accounts a hard battle. Mounted on a camel, Umm Zummal personally led the charge, and her undaunted courage was a source of great inspiration for her followers. Failure of his first effort to dislodge the

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 7th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Wednesday 29th March 2023). *_Lets Be careful with THIEVES of the month of Ramadhan_*. BismilLah.  By saying thieves, I mean things and actions that can take away most of the blessings of this month from us.  Television: This thief is dangerous and ruins days of people and diminishes their rewards, by watching useless movies and programs it squanders the time in a month where the days are the best of all days and nights are the best of all nights. Let's give TV the YELLOW card if we can be watching only Islamic lectures on it, but the RED card if we can't use it for only Islamic programs.  Too much sleep: Just because it is said in Hadith that even sleep in this month has thawab (some benefits) doesn't mean that you should excessively sleep.. The point is that if even sleep contains rewards, then imagine the rewards of Ibaadat or acts of worship. Let's utilise our time wisely in getting the best

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Tuesday 28th March 2023). *_CONTROLLING OUR TONGUE_*. BismilLah.  Controlling the tongue for many people is more difficult than abstaining from food and drinks. It is easy to abstain from food and drink, but abstaining one’s tongue is a really difficult one. What we need to remember is that ALLAH is not in need of the fast of such a person. The Prophet sallallahu  alaihi  wasallam said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, ALLAH has no need of him giving up his food and drink.” [Tirmidhi 707]. Even though it is difficult to always keep our tongue under control, let us try our best. Let us constantly keep reminding ourselves that we are not only abstaining from food and drink, and that we are also abstaining from all sorts of sins, which will cause us to attain the anger of ALLAH. Ramadhan rewards depend on the quality of how we made used of the day ie how we started and end the day not

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-ithnayn. 5th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Monday 27th March 2023). *_THE BEST FORM OF CHARITY_*. BismilLah. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "A man asked: 'O Messenger of ALLAH (peace be upon him), which kind of charity is best? He said: 'Giving charity when you are in good health, and feeling stingy, hoping for a long life and fearing poverty."(Sunan an-Nasa'i, Book 23, Hadith 2543). There is no better month to give charity than this month, especially to your relatives, so let's step up our efforts. To support the poor fasting Muslims in my community in Ghana, please send your Ramadhan Sadaqah to my Ghana MTN number 0244220273 Yakubu Adam.  *_May ALLAH aid us to be able to support those in need and keep guiding us till Jannat becomes our final abode_*.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 4th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Sunday 26th March 2023). *_SOME MISTAKES TO AVOID DURING FASTING_*. Bismillah. Alhamdulillah, for blessing us to be part of this blessed month. It's my hope that all abled muslims are fasting and I pray that may ALLAH accept it from us all and bless those who are unable to fast due to genuine reasons such as our sisters in their cycle etc. Let's remind each other about some mistakes we do whilst fasting.  Wasting time. The month of Ramadhan is precious, before we realized, this month of MERCY and FORGIVENESS is over. We should try and spend every moment possible in the worship of ALLAH so that we can make the most of these blessings. However, there are some of who waste away their day playing video games, or worse still, watching TV, movies, or even listening to music instead of the Quran. Some ignorance even fight and divorce their wives during fasting Subhaan’Allah!  Some fast but do not give up lying, cu

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 3rd day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Saturday 25th March 2023). *_SHOULD A DIABETIC PERSON FAST? IS IT NOT SUFFICIENT FOR HIM TO OFFER FIDYAH (FEEDING THE POOR)?_*. Bismillah.  In response to this question, I can say that one can not make a blanket ruling to the effect that all diabetic people may skip fasting and only need to provide fidyah(feeding the poor). This is because each diabetic person's condition is different from the other, as each one reacts differently to fasting. If we see one diabetic person as being adversely affected by fasting, we also find another, in spite of being a diabetic, not at all troubled by fasting. This being the case, one should never assume that all diabetic individuals are generally exempt from fasting. If a diabetic person has been advised by his or her doctor not to keep the fast, or if, after having monitored his or her sugar level, it has been determined that fasting is dangerous, then they are exempt from f

The Muslim forces were commanded by Khalid, while the forces of Taleaha were commanded by 'Uyaynah, the chief of Bani Fazara. The two armies were well matched, and the outcome of the battle seemed uncertain. Taleaha retired to a place of safety, and pretended to await heavenly inspiration.

Just as the battle of Badr set the stage for the advancement of the Muslims, thus did the battle of Zul Qissa set the pace for the overthrow of forces hostile to Islam. Another important consequence of the battle of Zul Qissa was that it crystallized the issues. Heretofore there were tribes which favored Islam, but still wavered in their allegiance to Madina. Again there were tribes which preferred to sit on the fence and watch developments. After the battle of Zul Qissa such suspense came to an end. Many tribes sent their delegations to Madina, offered allegiance to the authorities in Madina and paid Zakat. ____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻... The tribes that did not favor Islam openly

He brought home to them the point that he had no jurisdiction to grant any concession in respect of a matter which was a mandate of Allah. He explained to them that if they professed Islam, they had to observe all the injunctions of Islam in toto. There was no half way house in Islam, and it was not permissible for them to pick and choose Islam according to their whims and caprices. Islam had either to be rejected or accepted, and there was no room in Islam for any compromise on fundamentals.

Maghfirah is ALLAH’s forgiveness for your sin, but on Judgment Day, it will be written on your record, ALLAH will ask you about it, but HE won’t punish you because of it. This is for ALLAH to remind us that HE records whatever we do, so we must be careful.  *_Afuw_*: is for ALLAH to forgive you for the sin and delete it from your book of deeds as if it did not happen. ‘Afuw is ALLAH’s pardon for your sin. It will be completely erased from your record, and ALLAH won’t ask you about it on Judgement Day.  This is why our Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that this is the best Dua to make when seeking Laylatul Qa
