HOW CAN WE FIND PEACE IN OUR HEARTS AND BE SATISFIED IN LIFE?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 15th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Thursday, 31st August, 2023). *_HOW CAN WE FIND PEACE IN OUR HEARTS AND BE SATISFIED IN LIFE?_*. Bismillah.  As Muslims ALLAH has blessed us with so many ways to succeed in life and gain Jannat by HIS RAHMAH. Some of the means are: Increase dhikr (Remembrance of ALLAH ) as ALLAH says; "who have believed and whose heart have Rest in the remembrance of ALLAH. Verily in the remembrance of ALLAH, do hearts find rest." (Qur'an 13:28). That's by studying the Quran, applying in our way of life and praise ALLAH more through His beautiful attributes.  Increase in sunnah Salaat after perfection of fard Salaat. As ALLAH says; "O you who believe, seek help with steadfastness and prayer. Surely ALLAH is with those who are steadfast." (Qur'an 2:153). Asking forgiveness. ALLAH says; "And I have said: seek forgiveness from your Lord. Verily HE IS ever forgiving." (Qur'an 71:100). In ...

SERIOUS WARNING FROM ALLAH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 14th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Wednesday, 30th. August, 2023). *_SERIOUS WARNING FROM ALLAH_*. BismilLah. Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There are three to whom ALLAH will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection, nor will HE look at them or purify them, and they will have a painful punishment: a man who has extra water but he refuses to share it with a traveler, a man who swears a false oath in order to sell some goods after the afternoon prayer and he swears by ALLAH that he bought it for a certain price although it is untrue, and a man who pledges allegiance to a leader only to get something in the world and if he is given he will fulfill his pledge but if he is not given he will not fulfill his pledge. Sahih Muslim 108. In another narration, another category to fall under above are an old man who commits adultery, a king who lies, and an arrogant person in poverty. Sahih Muslim 107....

TREAT THE BAD RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WITH GOODNESS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 12th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Tuesday, 29th. August, 2023). *_TREAT THE BAD RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WITH GOODNESS_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah. I hope majority of us are fasting from today for the 3 white days as recommended by our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Back to our topic today.  In Qur'an 41:34  ALLAH says (Tafsir ibn kathir); وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّيَةُ The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. means, there is a huge difference between them. ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ Repel (the evil) with one which is better, means, `when someone does you wrong, repel him by treating him well,' as Umar, may ALLAH be pleased with him, said, "There is no better punishment for one who has disobeyed ALLAH with regard to you, than your obeying ALLAH with regard to him." فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ then...

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE NEVER NEGLECT YOUR SALAAH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 11th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Monday, 28th. August, 2023). *_FOR BETTER FOR WORSE NEVER NEGLECT YOUR SALAAH_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. ALLAH the Almighty says: “ But they were succeeded by generations who neglected prayer and followed their lusts and so will soon face the evil consequences.” (Qur'an, 19:59) This verse is a warning to those who commits one of the greatest major sins, namely abandoning Salah. This verse comes after ALLAH mentioned Prophets and Messengers and their high ranks. So after them came a generations who didn’t follow the way of the Prophets and they neglected salah and followed their lusts such as the non-Muslims of today who are following other ways of religious life abandoning Islam the only acceptable way of life. ALLAH then threatened them that they will soon face the evil consequences of those major sins. It’s so sad when one read verses like this and realize that the majority of Muslims today are in thi...

DON'T LOSE HOPE, KEEP MAKING DUA AND AVOID SINNING

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 11th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Sunday, 27th. August, 2023). *_DON'T LOSE HOPE, KEEP MAKING DUA AND AVOID SINNING_*. BismilLah.  Abu Hurairah (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLAH (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "The supplication of a slave continues to be granted as long as he does not supplicate for a sinful thing or for something that would cut off the ties of kinship and he does not grow impatient.'' It was said: "O Messenger of ALLAH! What does growing impatient mean?'' He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "It is one's saying: `I supplicated again and again but I do not think that my prayer will be or been answered.' Then he becomes frustrated (in such circumstances) and gives up supplication altogether.'' By Imam Muslim.  We learn from this Hadith that one should continue beseeching ALLAH without ever thinking that in spite of praying for a long time, his pray...

LET'S STRIVE TO BE AMONG THE MUTTAQEEN

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 10th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Saturday, 26th. August, 2023). *_LET'S STRIVE TO BE AMONG THE MUTTAQEEN_* BismilLah.  AL-MUTTAQEEN ARE THOSE WHO ADOPT TAQWA/ALLAH CONSCIOUSNESS​ (Qur'an 2-5). These are those who are the most dearest to ALLAH, the most HIGH.  Charaterisitics of Al Muttaqeen (Those with Taqwa): They have eeman on ‘Gaib’, The Unseen – i.e. Believe in ALLAH, the Angels, The Messenger, The Revelation, Quran, The Day of Judgement and Destiny. They establish five regular daily prayers: They spend in Charity from whatever ALLAH has given them – i.e. ‘Rizq’. Rizq is tangible and well as intangible, for eg, Children, food, ilm (knowledge), time etc. Everything is Rizq given by ALLAH!  They believe in the Revelation which was sent to Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) – i.e the ‘Quran’ – and the revelations which were sent before him (Torah, Gospel etc. To previous nations). The Muttaqeen have YAQEEN on Aakhirah. Yaqee...

POLYGAMY, IS A TEST and BLESSINGS FROM ALLAAH

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 9th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Friday, 25th. August, 2023). *_POLYGAMY, IS A TEST and BLESSINGS FROM ALLAAH_*. BismilLah.  As a Muslim, It's important to remember that, ALLAH does not permit anything for us if it does not contain blessings. All blessings also comes with a test or trial from ALLAH to test our eemaan.  Narrated Abu Musa (radhi-allaahu 'anhu): The Prophet (sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "A faithful believer to a faithful believer is like the bricks of a wall, enforcing each other." While saying that the Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) clasped his hands, by interlacing his fingers.  (Bukhaari vol. 1, hadith # 468). This basically means we must share what we love most with our fellow Muslim brother or sister as our eemaan can never be good enough if we dont love for our sister or brother what we love for ourselves.  Here is the reality, we were placed upon this earth to worship ALLAH  alone. We are g...

SUPPORT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE FOR YOU

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 8th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Thursday, 24th. August, 2023). *_SUPPORT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE FOR YOU_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. As Muslims its important we adopt the habit of giving Sadaqah or charity regardless of how poor we maybe. Giving only activates more blessings for us especially to our family first regardless of how bad they are to you.  ALLAH says in Qur'an 63:10 وَأَنفِقُواْ مِن مَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ  And spend of that with which WE(ALLAH) have provided you before death comes to one of you, and he says: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while, then I should give Sadaqah from my wealth, and be among the righteous. Surely, every person who fell into shortcomings will regret it by the time of his death and will ask for respite, eve...

Let's continue with our Tafseer of Aayatul KURSY.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 7th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Wednesday, 23rd August, 2023). Let's continue with our Tafseer of Aayatul KURSY. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.   مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ Meaning: Who is there who can intercede in HIS presence except as HE permit? This refers to an order and the way of this question is in the form of "Istifahm al-Inkari". This means that nobody can intercede in HIS presence except by HIS permission and will. The Mushrikeen used to think that their idols would intercede on their behalf, this is why ALLAH has explained that no intercession will work in HIS court except which HE permits. Whereas (Except which HE permits) refers to Intercession of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), intercession of some prophets, angels and intercession of some Momineen which they will do for some others  يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْۖ Meaning: HE knoweth what (appeareth to HIS creatures...

TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Tuesday, 22nd August, 2023). *_TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY_*. Bismillah. Let's continue from the reminder yesterday. There are so many important Tafsir Books But let's concentrate on the Tafseer by Imam Ibn Kathir May ALLAH be pleased with him. Aameen.  Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.   ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ  Meaning, ALLAH! There is none worthy of our worship but HE (There is no other so called god but ALLAH), the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) explains : (There is no god but ALLAH): It is a statement that HE (ALLAH) is the “ONE AND ONLY” Lord of all creations. (The Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal) means: HE (ALLAH) is self-existing (i.e. nothing created HIM) and that HE is ever living who can never die. Qayyum is that (attribute) of ALLAH through which others exist. HE is richest of all and nothing can exist ...

THE GREATNESS OF AAYATUL KURSY.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-ithnayn. 5th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Monday, 21st August, 2023). THE GREATNESS OF AAYATUL KURSY. Bismillah. Reading the Holy Quran is a great way to overcome turmoil, anxiety and distress, and to relieve us. But there is one particular Aayah or verse in particular that Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam spoke of, that is said to give its reader great benefits in this life and the afterlife and that's Aayatul Kursy (Quran 2:255), also known as the Verse of the Throne. The narrations (hadith) that speak of the virtues, and benefits, of Ayatul KURSY are numerous. Let me quote one at least: Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a): Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came to me and started stealing of the foodstuff. I caught him and said, “I will take you to ALLAH’s Apostle!” Then Abu Huraira described the whole narration and in short said: That person said (to me), “Please don’t tak...
