THE MEANING OF QURAN, HADITH QUDSI, AND HADITH AN-NABAWI CONTINUES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 7th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Saturday, 27th May, 2023).

*_THE MEANING OF QURAN, HADITH QUDSI, AND HADITH AN-NABAWI CONTINUES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. 


Yesterday, we reminded each other about what the Qur’an is. Let's continue on the Dhikr (The Reminder): ALLAH (Al-Fattah, The Granter of Succes) says:

"Verily, I revealed the Dhikr, and verily I will preserve it."

[Noble Qur’an 15:9]. Alhamdulillah. 


The Prophet's divinely inspired statements, which were recorded by his followers, are generally referred to as Hadiths. For example, the Prophet's companion, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab may ALLAH be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet once said, 'Verily, deeds are (judged) by their intentions. However, in some of his statements, the Prophet (peace be upon him) attributed what he said revealed from ALLAH but not part of the Qur'an; for example, another companion, Abu Hurayrah, reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, " ALLAH, Most High, says, 'I am as My slave thinks of Me and I am with him when he remembers ME. So if he remembers ME to himself, I will remember him to MYSELF, and if he remembers ME in a group, I will remember him in a better group.' 


In order to distinguish this type of hadith from the previous type, it is referred to as hadith qudsi (sacred hadith), and the former referred to as hadith nabawi (prophetic hadith). 


The Qur'an is not the same as hadith qudsi for a number of reasons. First, the Qur'an is from ALLAH both in its wording and in its meaning, while in the case of hadith qudsi, its meaning is from ALLAH but its wording was the Prophet's (peace be upon him). 


The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Whoever reads a letter from the book of ALLAH, the Most High, will get a good deed (recorded for him), and each good deed is worth ten times its value. I am not only saying that Alif Laam Meem is a letter, but I am also saying that Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter." So to just recite Alif Laam Meem, you are rewarded with 30 good deeds. AlhamdulilLah, ALLAHU AKBAR. 

*_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and increase us in beneficial knowledge of the Qur'an_*. 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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
