HOW TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF EEMAAN.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 21st day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Friday, 6th October, 2023). *_HOW TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF EEMAAN_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.


AlhamdulilLah for granting us another blessed day of the week. Today is a mini eid and we must embrace the day with lot's of acts of worship. 

To taste the sweetness of eeman, one must study the knowledge of Islam and must be convinced of ALLAH’s existence having a firm belief in HIM as the only Supreme Being and Deity who is worthy of worship. One must put his full trust in ALLAH (SWT) and accept HIM as his Lord and Master (RABB). Thus the statement, I am pleased with ALLAH as my Lord, (Radiitu Bil-Lahi Rabba).


The word, radiitu, in the hadith comes from the root (Ra Da Wa), which carries several meanings. It means, to acknowledge, to accept, to confirm, to approve, to be satisfied with, to be content with and to be pleased with, among other meanings. The statement Radiitu Bil-Lahi Rabba, conveys all these meanings and the implications of such a statement are:

1) Rida bil-uluhiyyah: To accept, be content and pleased with ALLAH (SWT) as the Lord of all that exist. In other words, nothing in the heavens nor on earth deserves or is worthy of worship except ALLAH (SWT). This is called Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah, or Unity of God, i.e. to single HIM out in worship with utmost sincerity.

2) Rida bil-Rububiyyah: To accept, be content and pleased with ALLAH (SWT) as the Lord or Master, Rabb. It is also to recognize HIM as the sole Creator and Sustainer of everything and to firmly believe that HE alone has the power to manage all affairs. Furthermore, to depend solely on HIM and to seek help from no one else other than HIM while accepting the Divine Decree HE decreed for us. This can be summed up as Tawheed al-Rububiyyah or Unity of Lordship.

3) Another implication is to accept all HIS commands. One must be happy and content with ALLAH’s final rulings and judgments for HE is the true Ruler and Sovereign.

4) Finally, to be pleased with ALLAH (SWT) as the Master (Rabb), one must have extreme love, respect and reverence for ALLAH (SWT). In describing the believers, ALLAH (SWT) says,“Those who (truly) believe, love ALLAH most passionately” 

(al-Baqarah, 2:165). 

*_May ALLAH protect our eemaan from any satanic influences_*. 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...
