THE IMPORTANCE of HALAAL SUSTENANCE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 10th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Sunday, 30th April 2023). *_THE IMPORTANCE of HALAAL SUSTENANCE_*. BismilLah.  There is no doubt that one of the obligations upon the Muslim is that he/she earns for him/herself and his family a pure and halal sustenance. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "O People! ALLAH is al-Tayyib (Pure), and HE only accepts that which is pure! ALLAH has commanded the believers what HE has commanded the Messengers, for HE said, 'O Messengers! Eat from the pure foods, and do right,' and HE said, 'O you who believe! Eat from the pure and good foods ALLAH has given you.'" Then the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) mentioned a traveller on a long journey, who is dishevelled and dusty, and he stretches forth his hands to the sky, saying, "O my Lord! O my Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he i...

STAYING STEADFAST AFTER RAMADHAAN.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 9th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Saturday, 29th April 2023). *_STAYING STEADFAST AFTER RAMADHAAN_*. Bismillah. Been Muslims of the creator not for Ramadhaan means we must continuously be in the state of obedience to ALLAH'S, firm upon His rules, steadfast upon His Deen, so that we are not of those who worship ALLAH only during one month or only in one place. Rather, the believer knows that the Lord of Ramadhan is also the Lord of other months, and that HE is the Lord of all times and places, so he is steadfast upon the rules of the creator until we meets HIM while HE is pleased with us.  If standing in prayer at night during Ramadhan has ended, then there remains voluntary night prayer throughout the year. Let's strive to get closer to our Creator and abandon Satan because he is our enemy.  *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

WHY DATING THE NON ISLAMIC WAY IS HARAAM (Forbidden/Unlawful) In Islam

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 8th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Friday, 28th April 2023). *_WHY DATING THE NON ISLAMIC WAY IS HARAAM (Forbidden/Unlawful) In Islam_*. BismilLah.  Most people justify dating with the notion that they just want to know each other better before they can marry. Islam believes that anything that can cause people to sin should be avoided before a person falls into temptation and it is so with dating.  The following are some of the reasons why dating is haram in Islam: First, those dating start their date at a time when they're not really ready and well prepared to enter into marriage (e.g. students dating secretly or openly while in school). They are exposed to many temptations that normally end in disappointment and separation, which is against the ethics of Islam. Those dating usually meet alone in a secret place and it is where most romantic affairs starts as the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) have warn us on that in a hadith ...

The first thing which Abu Bakr wished to have inquired from the Holy Prophet was as to who should be his successor.

The caliphate issue has remained a sou...

THE FUTURE IS FOR ISLAM, THE ONLY TRUE SYSTEM OF LIFE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 7th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Thursday, 27th April 2023). *_THE FUTURE IS FOR ISLAM, THE ONLY TRUE SYSTEM OF LIFE_*. BismilLah.  Islam came with this total guidance and decisive teaching. A Muslim has no country except that part of the earth where the Shari'ah of ALLAH is established and human relationships are based on the foundation of relationship with ALLAH; a Muslim has no nationality except his belief, which makes him or her a member of the Muslim community in Dar-ul-Islam; a Muslim has no relatives except those who share the belief in ALLAH, and thus a bond is established between him and other Believers through their relationship with ALLAH. A Muslim has no relationship with his mother, father, brother, wife and other family members except through their relationship with the Creator, and then they are also joined through blood; ALLAH says; "O mankind, remain conscious of your Sustainer, Who created you from one soul and ...

GUIDANCE IS ONLY GRANTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE TAQWA

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 6th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Wednesday, 26th April 2023). *_GUIDANCE IS ONLY GRANTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE TAQWA_*. BismilLah.  Hidayah (guidance) is only granted to those who have Taqwa (consciousness of ALLAH). ALLAH says, (Say to mankind: It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'an) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand)) (41:44), and, (And ALLAH send down of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zaalimin (wrongdoers) in nothing but loss) (17:82). This is a sample of the numerous Aayaat indicating that the believers, in particular, benefit from the Qur'an. That is because the Qur'an is itself a form of guidance, but the guidance in it is only granted to ...

WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN continues

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-Ath-thalaatha. 5th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Tuesday, 25th April 2023). *_WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN continues_*. BismilLah. Fasting in Ramadan has ended, but there remains voluntary fasting that can keep our eemain on check, such as fasting six days in Shawwaal, on Mondays and Thursdays, the three days in the middle of the month, the days of `Aashoora and `Arafat, and others.  If standing in prayer at night during Ramadan has ended, then there remains voluntary night prayer throughout the year. ALLAH says, "They used to sleep but little of the night.Adh-Dhaariyaat, 17. If the charity in Ramadan and zakat ul-fitr have ended, then there is the obligatory Zakat, and also there are many other open doors to charity, voluntary actions, Reading of the Qur'an and contemplating it is not only for Ramadan, rather it is for all times. Righteous actions are for all times and all places, so let's strive O my brothers and sisters  and let's ...

SO WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 4th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Monday, 24th April 2023). *_SO WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN_* BismilLaah. AlhamdulilLah for guiding us all through the blessed month of Ramadhan.   What Have We Gained From Ramadhan? Ramadhan is a school of eeman and a 'stop to recharge one's spiritual batteries' - to acquire one's provision for the rest of the year... For when will one take a lesson and change for better if not in the month of Ramadhan? The noble month is a true school of transformation in which we change our actions, habits, and manners that are in variance with the Law of ALLAH 'azza wa jall. Verily, ALLAH does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. (Qur'an 13:11). If you are from those who benefited from Ramadhan, fulfilled the requirements of taqwa, truly fasted the month, prayed in it with truthfulness, and strove against your soul, then praise and thank ALLAH, and ask HIM fo...

SOME STEPS TO PROTECT US FROM SATAN'S RETURN

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ahad. 3rd day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Sunday, 23rd April 2023). *_SOME STEPS TO PROTECT US FROM SATAN'S RETURN_*. BismilLah.  Sheitan is now back from prison like a wounded lion trying to recapture his friends he lost due to Ramadhan. Let's not make the Quran a decoration piece until next Ramadhan. Let's try our best each day to recite the Quran at least 30 minutes each day as minimum or a certain number of pages each day. We should also try to understand the meaning of what we recite by listening to tafseer. If we don't do this, then we can't understand what it is that ALLAH is trying to tell us. And of course, We should learn to live our lives with the teachings from the Quran. This is the true way to show ALLAH that we love HIM and we do everything for HIS pleasure. TO BE CONTINUED. Please accept my apologies for not responding to your eid wishes individually for the past few days, as I have been on a journey since Friday ti...

Harith b. Kaladah and Attab b Usaid died on the same day as Abu Bakr, and that lends support to the theory that the death of Abu Bakr was because of the effect of poison.

So fierce and unexpected was the Byzantine attack that the Muslims had to give way. The Byzantines were able to capture a number of women who were in the Muslim camp.

HAVE YOU STARTED FASTING FOR YOUR RAMADHAN DEBTS OR STARTED YOUR 6 DAYS IN SHAWWAL_*?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 2nd day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Saturday, 22nd April 2023). *_HAVE YOU STARTED FASTING FOR YOUR RAMADHAN DEBTS OR STARTED YOUR 6 DAYS IN SHAWWAL_*? BismilLah.  It's important we don't delay any acts of worship that can get us closer to ALLAH. Those who missed any days in Ramadhan should start fasting now without delaying it unless with genuine reasons to delay it. Those who don't owe any days should start fasting the 6 recommended days in this month Shawwaal.  The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).” According to another report: “ALLAAH has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days is like fasting 2 months that completes the whole year.”  Even though its permissible to fast these 6 special day...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 1st day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Friday, 21st April 2023). *_EID MUBARAK TO ALL_*. BismilLah. *Taqabbalallahu Minna wa minkum!!* May ALLAH accept our acts of worship and forgive our shortcomings during the blessed month. May ALLAH heal our sick brothers and sisters, May ALLAH protect all marriages from all satanic influences, May ALLAH grant us good wives and husbands, May ALLAH protect our jobs and aid jobless brothers and sisters to find good halaal jobs. May ALLAH Unite this Ummah and protect us from divisions. May ALLAH aid HIS servants and guide the enemies of Islam into Islam. Let's strive to feed our neighbours and make Eid enjoyable to all. Once again Eid Mubarak. JazaakumulLaahu Khairan for all your support in the blessed month of Ramadhan.  *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from all satanic influences_*. Aameen.

LET'S STRIVE TO PERFECT OUR ACTS OF WORSHIP AS THE QUANTITY HAS NO REWARDS WITHOUT KHUSHOO (Steadfastness)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 28th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Wednesday, 19th April 2023). *_LET'S STRIVE TO PERFECT OUR ACTS OF WORSHIP AS THE QUANTITY HAS NO REWARDS WITHOUT KHUSHOO (Steadfastness)_*. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of these blessed days and nights of Ramadhan. It is narrated that once the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was in the masjid and saw a man praying. When the man finished, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam informed him that he had not prayed and should repeat his salaah. This happened multiple times, and when the man inquired about how this could be, the Prophet explained that the man was praying in a way that he was not fulfilling the criteria for each part of the prayer to be accepted. [Bukhari 757]. This teaches us that merely doing the actions in the prayer is not enough. Rather, there are criteria that must be followed. It’s much better to pray slowly, ensuring to fulfil each criterion r...

LAYLATUL QADR MAY BE TONIGHT

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 27th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Tuesday, 18th April 2023). *_LAYLATUL QADR MAY BE TONIGHT_*. BismilLah.  Are you one of those making this mistake? Many of us tend to give our maximum efforts on only the odd nights especially on the 27th night of Ramadan, and from the 28th they relax and some may not do any act of worship believing LaylatulQadar had come and gone. That's a huge error of judgement. It may be tonight or tomorrow night so don’t relax please.  The Prophet sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “I came out to tell you when Laylat al-Qadr was, and So and so and So and so were arguing, so it [the knowledge of when Laylat al-Qadr was] was taken away from me. Perhaps this is better for you...” [al-Bukhari 1919]. The fact of the matter is that no one can be certain about Laylat al-Qadr, so let's keep striving till the Moon is confirmed sighted. Please send your Ramadhan Sadaqah/ Zakaat and zakaatul Fitir to my Ghana mobile ...

LET'S BE MINDFUL OF OUR TONGUE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 26th day of Ramadan, 1444AH (Monday, 17th April, 2023). *_LET'S BE MINDFUL OF OUR TONGUE_* Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.  As we approaches the last few days of Ramadan in which Laylatul qadar may appear if not come and gone. It's very important to note that Ramadan is not about only avoiding eating, sexual relationship etc but equally and more importantly, protecting our fasting by speaking good words or remaining silence throughout the day because a single act of backbiting, slandering etc will automatically damage our fasting from achieving any rewards for it.  Therefore, the servant must be aware! We could lose our rewards for the fasting and prayer from just o­ne gathering. There is no success for us unless we learn how to imprison our tongues from vain talk.  ALLAH has placed this tongue of ours in prison. It does not come out except when there is a need for it. You will find lots of the time our tongues are not enga...
