HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 15th day of Muharram, 1445AH (Wednesday, 2nd August, 2023).

*_HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH)_*. Bismillah.


As Muslims, its important reset our lifestyle if we truly need ALLAH to change our life for better. ALLAH says in the Qur'an that HE does not change the condition of anyone till the person changes his or her life to HIS obedience. How do we implement an emotional reset? The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, gave us the solution for this by saying: "Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures - death." (At-Tirmidhi, 579).


Indeed, remembering the trials surrounding the experience of death knocks us back into a state of true awareness. By “remember” I  do not simply mean the act of recalling; we mean internalizing the reality that awaits us and the understanding that our actions will determine the severity or ease of the experience. Qur'an Chapters 81 and 82 portray graphic imagery of the end of this world as we know it. Reading and reflecting on these signs would leave one feeling rattled. It brings with it an amount of wisdom that produces tranquility in the face of hardship.

Thus, if all else fails, the remembrance of death alone is a sufficient motivator in the life of a believer. 


Allah says in the Qur'an as we all know that "Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection...(Qur'an 3:185)

The awareness of death and its realities guides one to repent and seek forgiveness for sins consistently. It keeps us humble and in check. It brings with it an amount of wisdom that produces tranquility in the face of hardship, inner contentment with our provisions and blessings, and sweetness in performing acts of worship that go towards fulfilling our purpose in this life and keeping our priorities in order. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us and increases us in beneficial knowledge_*. 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 ...

 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...
