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.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

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 p
