CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRUE BELIEVER

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 21st day of Sha’abaan, 1445AH (Saturday, 2nd March 2024). *_CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRUE BELIEVER_*. BismilLah. 


ALLAH, Praised be HIS Name, says:

“ The (true) believers are only those who, when ALLAH is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when HIS verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord, they rely.” (Quran, 8:2).

ALLAH describes true believers with 3 amazing characteristics.


The first characteristic is that when ALLAH is mentioned, their hearts tremble out of awe, fear, and respect for HIM. This is because they really know who ALLAH is. Do you feel the same when you hear about ALLAH?


The second characteristic is that their faith increases when the Quran is recited. Their eeman increase because they understand the meanings of the Quran. How do you feel when you hear the recitation of the Quran, or do you just love listening to music?


The third characteristic is that they put their trust in their Lord. Since they know that HE is the only one who predestinates and everything is under HIS control. Do you rely solely on ALLAH?


These three characteristics will let you know if you are a true believer.

But not only this, the following verse (8:3) mentions establishing Salah and giving sadaqah as also characteristics of the true believers. So, a true believer is the one who both has a strong faith in his heart and does good deeds with his limbs.


We should really check if we have these characteristics so that we may be among those whom ALLAH will give this reward as HE says in the fourth verse of this very same surah:

“ Those are the true believers. For them are degrees (of high position) with their Lord and forgiveness and an honourable provision.” (Quran, 8:4). ALHAMDULILLAH. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and 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 ...

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...

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.

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...
