MUHARRAM IS A BLESSED MONTH TO INCREASE GOOD DEEDS AND AVOIDING BAD DEEDS.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 2nd day of Muharram, 1445AH (Thursday, 20th July, 2023).

 *_MUHARRAM IS A BLESSED MONTH TO INCREASE GOOD DEEDS AND AVOIDING BAD DEEDS._* BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. 


ALLAH'S sacred month of Muharram is a blessed and important month. It is the first month of the Hijri (Islamic) calendar and is one of the four sacred months concerning which ALLAH says;

"Verily, the number of months with ALLAH is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by ALLAH on the Day when HE created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein… "Al-Qur'an 9:36.


The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said:

"The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumadah and Sha'aban."

Reported by Al-Bukhari, 2958.


Muharram is so called because it is a sacred month and to confirm its sanctity. ALLAH'S words: " ... so wrong not yourselves therein… " mean do not wrong yourselves in these sacred months, because sins in these months are worse than in other months. It was reported that Ibn 'Abbas said that this phrase referred to all the months, but these four were singled out and made sacred, so that sins in these months are more serious and good deeds bring a greater reward. 


Let's strive to fast as much as we can in this blessed month as the Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: “The best fast after Ramadaan is the month of ALLAH Muharram.” Narrated by Muslim, 1163. Our deeds carry more weight during Muharram, just as they carry more weight in the Ka’bah and its surroundings. Thus, there is an opportunity to gain more reward every day; but also the danger of gaining more sins with our bad deeds. This means we should be extra-vigilant when it comes to how we act, whether in our relationships, at work, in our worship, in our time management, or even how we take care of our health. With the right intention, every single action can become an opportunity for reward! To be continued tomorrow In Shaa ALLAH . 

*_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. 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
