LET'S MAKE A V-TURN TOWARDS PARADISE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 14th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Thursday, 4th May, 2023).

 *_LET'S MAKE A V-TURN TOWARDS PARADISE_*. Bismillaahir Rahmanir Raheem. 


We always say U-Turn, but I say V-Turn for a purpose because for me, U is smooth, but V is sharp, and Emmergency turn, and that's our situation today. We seem to be relaxing and chasing dunyaa (this world) blindly, committing open sins, forgetting the reality of Death. 


Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal 'Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Truly, whoever takes the Hereafter as his or her (primary) concern, ALLAH places his richness before his eyes (his heart feels content), gathers his inner self (so he is at peace with himself), and this worldly life comes to him with compliance. And whoever has this worldly life as his (main) concern, ALLAH makes his poverty appear imminent to him, disunites his inner self (so he feels disgruntled and unhappy) and he does not gain anything from this worldly life except what had been destined for him.” [BY Imam Tirmidhi]. Are you saving good deeds for your salvation or wasting your life on earth, knowing you may be dead by the end of today or tomorrow? Are you wiser than those who are buried in the graves? How many times do you think of death a day? Do you think about the time for next salaat as you think about other things in life? Let's refocus on what's our  priorities in life. We hear all these almost all the time, and we support other families in burying their loved ones, but does it ever occur to us that you may be next to go as such refocus our ways of life?


A boat needs water to go places: ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) made the things of this world for you to use. But when water enters the same boat, it sinks: We need earth for living, but Don’t let the love of worldly things enter your heart, or it will sink you to death. We need this world to strive for paradise, but the same world can easily deviate us into hell fire, may ALLAH protect us from it. Aameen. 


How can one decrease one’s concern for this world? let's visit the grave yard regularly, let's visit the sick ones in hospital regularly, let's listen to the Creator's messages in Qur'an and Sunnah about paradise and hell etc. and it will reduce our love for sins. *_May ALLAH keeps protecting us from the plots of Shaitaan_*. 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 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

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...
