ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH, LET'S RELY ON HIM FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 10th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Friday, 24th November, 2023). *_ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH, LET'S RELY ON HIM FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS_*. BismilLah. 


AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be among those witnessing this blessed day of the week. What's your problem my dear reader? Please remember al-Fattah when we feel that things are impossible or too difficult because ALLAH (swt) invites us to know HIM through HIS Names in any circumstances. Sheikh Al-Ghazali explained his understanding about al-Fattah, he said  “ALLAH is the One by Whose concern everything that is closed is opened.” If I tell you to open the door, it must mean that the door is closed. If it is already opened, you would probably give me a funny look. So, what does this mean? ALLAH al-Fattah opens the things that are closed. Those things that seem impossible, those things that you cannot understand how they even work. A door has to be closed in order for someone to open it. 

ALLAH says in the Qur’an:

“Whatever mercy ALLAH opens for mankind, then none can be holding it back; and whatever HE holds back, then none can be sending it forth after HIM; And HE is The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Wise” (Qur’an, 35:2). Atakbiir!!!


The second related meaning is to understand that ALLAH is al-Fattah when you embark on something new, and the journey is unknown to you. What is unknown to you is ‘closed’ in that sense. So, when you are embarking on a new journey, ask ALLAH (swt) to open the doors for you so that you do not encounter unanticipated difficulties. This could be with marriage, a new job, or even the start of business, etc. So regularly say Yaa Fattah yaa Razzaaq BiRahmatika astagheeth (Oh, the opener of all opportunities,  the Provider of Wealth, with your Mercy I seek your help with this my situation or issues).

*_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protects us 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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

The story of taqwa

 The story of taqwa. Taqwa means fear of Allah. There once lived a young woman who was very beautiful lady and had all the qualities a man needed. She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go. All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
