FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS Continues

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 3rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Saturday, 16th December, 2023).

*_FOUR (4) ACTIONS THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS Continues_*. BismilLah


Let's continue with our reminder from  yesterday. 

The third deed is Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness from ALLAH), and this too does not require us to spend on our life, wealth, or time. Whenever a person happens to commit a small or big sin, he should immediately feel remorseful about it and say Astaghfirullah, which means: “O ALLAH. I seek Your forgiveness.” It's a key to all doors in life. Regularly say Astaqfirullah, and in shaa ALLAH, it will help you a lot. 

 

The fourth deed is Isti’aazah. Isti’aazah means to seek protection. Before we even begin to recite the Qur’an we recite A'uuzubillah minash sheitaanir rajeem, which means “I seek ALLAH'S protection against the accursed and rejected Shaytan” This action of ours is also Isti’azah because what we are essentially saying is, “O ALLAH! Take us within your protection against the harm from Shaytan.” We have to recite “A’uzubillah” before reciting the Qur’an because the order is given in the Qur’an itself [An-Nahl 16:98]:

When you read the Qur'an, seek ALLAH'S protection from Shaytan the rejected one. Recite “A’uzubillah” (I seek ALLAH'S Protection) During Every Occasion of Danger

This worldly life is filled with all kinds of events and happenings, and we always face Shaytan and our inner desires. Hence, we should continue to seek the protection of ALLAH(swt) all the time. This brings us to the end of this topic. I hope we've reminded ourselves about some basic actions that can aid us immensely towards success here on earth and the hereafter. 

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

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
