THE ONLY PATH TO PARADISE IS THROUGH ISLAM

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 20th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1445AH (Tuesday 28th May 2024). *_THE ONLY PATH TO PARADISE IS THROUGH ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 


In the last verse of Suuratul Kahf that's Quran 18 vs 110 ALLAH says to HIS Messenger Muhammad sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam,

قُلْ

Say, to these idolators who reject your message to them,

إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ

I am only a man like you.

Whoever claims that I am lying, let him bring something like this that I have brought. For I did not know the Unseen, the matters of the past which you asked me about and I told you about, the story of the people of the Cave and of Dhul-Qarnayn, stories which are true, I did not know any of this except for what ALLAH made known to me. And I tell you,

يُوحَى إِلَيَّ

It has been revealed to me, 

أَنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمْ

that your God, ALLAH, Who calls you to worship HIM,

إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ

is ONE GOD, HIS name is ALLAH

with no partner or associate. 

فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاء رَبِّهِ

So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord,

i.e., hopes for a good reward and recompense,

فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلً صَالِحًا

let him work righteousness,

meaning, in accordance with the prescribed laws of ALLAH,

وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا

and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.

This is what is meant by seeking the pleasure of ALLAH alone with no associate or partner. These are the two basic features of acceptable deeds: their intent is for the sake of ALLAH alone, and are done in accordance with the way of the Messenger of ALLAH.

The Prophet (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Whoever loves the Meeting with ALLAH, ALLAH too loves the Meeting with him; and whoever hates the Meeting with ALLAH, ALLAH too hates the Meeting with him." 

Sahih Al-Bukhari, 8/6508. Check Quran 6 Ayah 31 for more. 

 *_May ALLAH, AL-HAFEEDH (The One Whose power preserves the heavens and the earth, the Guardian and Preserver of all the worlds) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen. Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

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 p
