TV MAY BE FITNAH IN OUR LIFE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 6th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Thursday, 21st September, 2023).

*_TV MAY BE FITNAH IN OUR LIFE_*. *BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem*. 


The most dangerous instrument that is being used today to prepare mankind for the coming of Dajjal, is the television. The television networks announce their viewer ship for all major events to be in the billions, which indicates the ability to influence so many people all at once. This shows the ability of disseminating information (true or false) to billions of people. We cannot allow ourselves as Muslims to be influenced or corrupted by television if we wish to be able recognize the fitna and fasaad of the Dajjal.


What should we, as Muslims, be doing?

We should be spending our precious time in an environment that promotes the consciousness of ALLAH (S.W.T) and fulfilling our object of our existence on earth. As ALLAH mentions in Qur'an:

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship ME. [adh-Dhariyat 51:56].


ALLAH (S.W.T) warns us of being heedless of our religion Islaam, and being deceived by this world as follows:

“And leave alone those who take their religion as play and amusement, and whom the life of this world has deceived. But remind ( them) with it (the Qur'an) lest a person be given up to destruction for that which he has earned, when he will find for himself no protector or intecessor beside ALLAH, and even if he offers every ransom, it will not be accepted from him. Such are they who are given up to destruction because of that which they have earned. For them will be a drink of boiling water and a painful torment because they used to disbelieve. [Al-An’am:70].


Let us not be of those who ALLAH (S.W.T) has blessed with five senses (i.e. sight, hearing, speech, touch and smell) but uses these senses to disobey HIM. We should be using these blessed senses in the pleasure of our Creator (S.W.T). It would certainly be a sign of ingratitude if we were to use our senses, time and our wealth in the disobedience of ALLAH (S.W.T). In this regard ALLAH (S.W.T) mentions in the Holy Qur’an:

Verily the ear, the eye and the heart – with regard to each of these it will be questioned. [Al-Isrá: 36].


It is clear that that this verse indicates towards the great responsibility attached to the correct usage of the senses.


Muslims are urged to change our ways and to make sincere taubah (repentance) for our past sins.


ALLAH has granted us choices of good and evil in this world; let us use it for the good. We should try and refrain from entertaining ourselves with television and enjoy the HALAAL activity that is pleasing to our Creator (S.W.T). We can use it for Islamic programs other than that better shouldn't have one if you cannot control it well. 


*_May ALLAH keep Guiding us, and forgive us all_*. 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
