 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 21st day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Sunday 31st March 2024).  *_LET'S MAXIMISE OUR REWARDS THROUGH OUR GOOD DEEDS_*. BismilLah.  Ramadhan is running away like it never started. A few days ago, we were talking about when Ramadhan starts, but today, sadly, we are counting the days left for Ramadhan to finish. May ALLAH count us among those who are successful in this blessed month.  ALLAH says; O you who believe! Do your duty to ALLAH and fear HIM. And seek the Waseela (means of approach to HIM), and strive hard in HIS Cause (as much as you can), so that you may be successful. (Quran, 5:35). We learn from this verse that we should use our good deeds in seeking Nearness to ALLAH or in our dua. This means we should strive to do more good deeds, and in our dua, we should use those good deeds as Tawassul seeking its acceptance from ALLAH.  The Ramadhan Sadaqah you give to the poor is the best good deed to mention during your dua see...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 20th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Saturday 30th March 2024). *_LET'S KEEP STRIVING AND BE STEADFAST TILL END OF RAMADHAN_*. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raherlem. ALLAH says in Qur'an 29:6 وَمَن جَاهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, ALLAH stands not in need of any of the creatures. Then ALLAH tells us that even though HE has no need from HIS creatures, HE is kind and generous to us. HE will still give to those who believe and do righteous deeds the best of rewards, which is that HE will expiate for them their bad deeds, and will reward them according to the best deeds that they did. HE will accept the fewest good deeds and in return for one good deed will give anything between ten rewards and seven hundred, but for every bad deed, He will give only one evil merit, or even that HE may overlook and forgive. ALLAHU AKBAR.  This is like the Ayah,...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 19th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Friday 29th March 2024). *_LET'S STRIVE HARD SEEKING LAYLATUL QADAR_*. BismilLah.  Many people make the mistake and only strive hard in their prayers, du’a, tawbah and charity on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan. While it’s true that there is a bigger chance of Laylat al-Qadr being in the odd nights, it is fully possible for it to be in one of the even nights!  Ibn ‘Umar RA told us that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: “Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadhan.” [Muslim, 2/823]. Laylatul Qadr is so great that if you stand in prayer/Zikir and to be blessed with it, all of your sins will be forgiven! Our sisters in their monthly cycle should also wake up and strive to seek laylatul Qadar through zikir. Dont go to the masjid. Just dress decently and sit in your room to recite your zikir. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and grant us Laylatul Qadar by HIS MERCY_*....

Benjamin flung his arms around Joseph and both brothers shed tears of joy.

She boldly confessed that she had lied and he had told the truth. "I tempted him; but he refused." She confirmed what she said, not out of fear of the king or the other ladies, but for Joseph to know that she had never betrayed him during his absence, for he was still in her mind and soul. ___*PAGE 2*__ ✍🏻...

The guests were astonished and dumbfounded. His face was shining and full of manliness and angelic beauty. It reflected complete innocence, so much so that one could feel the peace of mind in the depth of his soul. They exclaimed in astonishment while continuing to cut the fruit. All their eyes were on Joseph. ____*PAGE 2*_____ ✍🏻... So it was that the women began to cut their palms absent-mindedly without feeling that they had cut them.

In the dark well Joseph managed to find a stone ledge to hold onto. Around him was total darkness and an eerie silence. Fearful thoughts entered his mind: what would happen to him? where would he find food? why had his own brothers turned against him? would his father know of his plight? His father's smile flashed before him, recalling the love and affection he had always shown him. Joseph began to pray earnestly, pleading to Allah for salvation. Gradually his fear began to subside.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 18th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Thursday 28th March 2024). *_MAY ALLAH GRANT US LAYLATUL QADAR_*. AAMEEN. BismilLah.  The last 10 days of Ramadhan is just one day ahead of us. I'm certain no one needs to be informed of the importance of these days ahead of us. Don’t focus on only certain nights searching for laylatul qadar. Focus on all the last nights till the end of Ramadhan so that you dont miss out.  Let's make dua our priority, especially those the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam thought us to focus seeking laylatul Qadar such as;  اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي Allaahumma Innaka Afuwwon Tuhibbul Affwa FAafu Annii  Oh ALLAH! You are most forgiving, YOU love to forgive, so please forgive me. Another important dua to focus on is  رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا RABBANA HABB LANAA MIN AZWAAJINAA WA DHURRI...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 17th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Wednesday 27th March 2024). *_YES ALLAH WILL FORGIVE ALL MAJOR SINS EVEN IF SHIRK_*. BismilLah. The Almighty ALLAH loves to forgive, and in numerous places in the Quran, HE invite us towards HIS FORGIVENESS.  ALLAH, the Most High, says: “ Will they not turn to ALLAH in repentance and seek HIS forgiveness? And ALLAH is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran, 5:74). To understand the context of this verse, one should read two verses before it where ALLAH says: “Those who say, “ALLAH is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship ALLAH, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with ALLAH in worship will surely be forbidden Paradise by ALLAH. Their home will be the fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers. Those who say, “ALLAH is one in a Trinity,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. There is only ONE GOD. If they ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 16th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Tuesday 26th March 2024). *_ISLAMIC SOLUTION TO FORGETFULNESS_*. *Bismillah*. Islam is a complete way of life, and it has all the solutions to all the creation of ALLAH. It is human nature to be forgetful, as the Arab poet said: “He is only called man (insaan) because of his forgetfulness (nasiyaan), and it is only called the heart (al-qalb) because it changes so rapidly (yataqallib).” Some of the things that may help to combat forgetfulness are: Keeping away from sins, because the bad effects of sin result in a bad memory and the inability to retain knowledge. The darkness of sin can not co-exist with the light of knowledge. The knowledge of ALLAAH is light, and the light of ALLAAH is not given to the sinner.” We are talking about beneficial knowledge here please so don't ask me why some  of the kuffar are knowledgeable. If your knowledge does not aid you to earn the halaal way and live in peace w...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 15th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Monday 25th March 2024). *_KULLU NAFSIN....?_*. BismilLah.  All of us will die sooner or later, but the serious question remains as to HOW? In a state where ALLAH is pleased with us or where HE is displeased? ALLAH says: “ Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: “My Lord! Send me back”. (Quran, 23:99). Why does he want to be sent back to this world? Is it to live longer? Is it to earn more money? Definitely NO. The answer is: “ So that I may act righteously in that (world) which I have left behind…” But is it possible to come back after death? “… Never! It is simply a word he utters, and behind them is a barrier till the day when they will be resurrected.” (Quran, 23:100) Alhamdulillah! You and I are still alive, and we have the opportunity to do good deeds and act righteously. Let’s not delay that lest we meet the same fate stated in those verses. One lives only once, and there is no way bac...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 14th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Sunday 24th March 2024). *_ANGER MANAGEMENT WHILST FASTING_*. BismilLah.  Once, a young man approached the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallah) and asked him for some advice. The Prophet replied, “Do not become angry,” and he repeated this three times. On another occasion, the Prophet asked his companions, “Do you know who the strong person is?” His companions replied, “The one who is able to wrestle others down.” The Prophet responded, “No, it is the one who is able to control their anger. There are so many wisdoms from the Prophet specifically advising against anger, all reflecting the Qur’anic description of the righteous as those who “hold in check their anger” (3:134).  This advice is much needed. Indeed, some of the worst actions committed by human beings, from killing to domestic abuse, especially in marriages, are, at least partly, a result of anger. Lots of marriages have collapsed/ collapse...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 13th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Saturday 23rd March 2024). *_PROMISE BY ALLAH TO BELIEVERS_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH, Blessed Be HIS Name, says;  “Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a BELIEVER, ALLAH will surely bless them with a good life, and ALLAH will certainly reward them according to the best of their deeds.” (Quran, 16:97). Every human being wants to have a good life in this world, right? For most people, this good life is being financially well off and having a big house, etc. But the reality is that even if one has this, one can still feel miserable and depressed. So, what is the real good life?  The real good life is being near ALLAH and experiencing HIS Nearness and being guided by HIM to do what HE loves and is pleased with. And being given enough rizq with barakah and being given a heart that yearn for ALLAH’s reward and strives to gain it.  Our support for the poor in this blessed month is ongoing...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 12th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Friday 22nd March 2024). *_ALLAH'S ASSURANCES ARE CERTAIN_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH, Praised be HIS Name, says: “ So ALLAH answered his prayer and rescued him from anguish. And so do ALLAH save the believers.” (Quran, 21:88). The context of this verse is the story of Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him), who was swallowed by a sea creature, and he called on ALLAH for help. ALLAH answered his prayer rescued him, and ALLAH promised that HE would do the same for the believers. The dua of Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) was very important for our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) which was; لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ Laa ilaaha illaa ANTA subḥaanaka innii kuntu minaẓ-ẓwaalimiin. Meaning; ‘None has the right to be worshipped, but YOU (ALLAH), Glorified (and Exalted) be YOU! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers.’ No Muslim recites this Dua concerning any matte...
