FIGHTING OUR OWN EVIL DESIRES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 13th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Momday 22nd April 2024). *_FIGHTING OUR OWN EVIL DESIRES_*. BismilLah.


AlhamdulilLah for granting us to be part of this blessed day in this blessed week. It's my hope that majority of us are fasting from today till Thursday as highly recommended by theProphet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. May ALLAH accept it from us all. 

Sheikh Ibn al-Qayyim said in one of his books, “So whoever does not punish his devil in this abode through the remembrance of ALLAH تعالى following tawheed strictly, and seeking forgiveness from ALLAH and obeying ALLAH, then his devil will cause his punishment in the Hereafter with the torment of the hell Fire. 


We are all aware that as ALLAH'S protection and Mercy is in abundance for us to grab through HIS obedience so is SATAN'S influence in abundance for those who will disobey ALLAH as such it's important we declare jihaad against our wrong heart desires and strive to achieve ALLAH'S mercy and protection through practicing the deen fully not by mouth or ears but by good acts of worship the Sunnah way through learning authentic knowledge not as we wish or what our fathers and grandfather's said. Ask yourself if you are disobeying ALLAH in anyway and strive to stop it for the fear of ALLAH. 


Let's remember death regularly, it will aid us in all we do. If whatever you do does not involve pleasing ALLAH, don't waste your time please. Remember you can die anytime, any day. Are you ready to visit the grave? Do not follow your heart desires till death knock on you my brothers and sisters. 


May ALLAH help us to stop any acts of disobeying HIM. Aameen. 

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ 

Rabbanaa Aatinaa fiddunyaa hasanatan wafil Aakhirati hasanatan wakinaa âzaabannaar. 

Oh Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the life to come and keep us safe from the torment of the Fire (Quran 2:201). 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...
