GOOD & BAD MANNERS, A SOURCE OF PARADISE OR HELL

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 13th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Sunday 5th March 2023).

*_GOOD & BAD MANNERS, A SOURCE OF PARADISE OR HELL_*. BismilLah. 


A polite answer turns away anger and a kind word uttered in time may save us from many troubles true or false? True.

It is politeness which succeeds while ability fails. Even a good action will lose its value if the person doing favour utters impolite words. It is on this note that we, as Muslims, should endeavour to learn from the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) who summarized the goal of his entire message into the perfection of the best of conduct in the beautiful hadith:


“I have been sent to perfect the best of manners”

ALLAH describes the Prophet and his ways as:

"Indeed you stand on an exalted standard of character" (68:4). Unfortunately many of us unintentionally fail to pay attention to the above hadith which is the very essence of the Islamic manners which we should adopt and instead restrict our views of religion merely to the external acts of worship.

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is reported to have said:

“A Muslim with good manners and a good moral disposition gets the same reward as he who fasts every day and spends every night in prayer.” (Abu Dawud, 4798)


Our teachings put great emphasis on how we deal with people in our daily lives. Rather than focus on how we dress or the apparent status of our worship our manners and dealings should be our criteria.

We must be aware of how each one of us interrelates with people in our circles. Our good dealings will not only ensure that we are not violating other people’s rights but will also make us accepted, loved and appreciated by others. *_May ALLAH aid us to practice what we learn _*  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 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [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 (ﷺ) 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.

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