LESSONS FROM SUURATUL FAATIHAH continues

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-ithnayn. 27th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Monday, 11th December, 2023). *_LESSONS FROM SUURATUL FAATIHAH continues_*. BismilLah.

Let's continue our lessons from yesterday's reminder. How to join this company of righteous people ALLAH directed us to: So after testifying your shahaadah, which is an oath to obey ALLAH and the Messenger (Peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him), we are commanded to follow the righteous to aid us stay in this right path and the company consists of: the Prophets, the Siddiqeen (the truthful sincere servants of ALLAH), the Shuhadaa (those who testify to the Truth with their speech, and if needed will defend the Truth and the innocent with their lives), and the Swaaliheen (those who are righteous in actions).

ALLAH (swt) then praises this group by calling it a beautiful fellowship.
By naming these four groups of people in the Qur’an as those whom the Grace of ALLAH is upon, He has pointed us not to a set of concepts, but to a community and a set of examples. From the teachings of the Prophets, we take knowledge and the framework of Truth for all that follows. From the Siddiqqiin, we derive the lessons and examples of sincere worship. From the Shuhada, we see examples of those who act and struggle to testify to Truth. And from the Swaaliheen, we see examples of righteous actions. So the one aiming for the Straight Path should seek out these people, their company, their examples, and learn from what they have.

This teaches the servant that he should NOT think himself self-reliant in his journey towards ALLAH’s grace, but should remember that there are those in the past, and those in the community that he can seek out and be in good company with. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH to learn brief about these group of people we are to emulate to aid stay in the straight path. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increase 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 ...

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...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
