A White Saturday

 *A White Saturday*

--------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Saturday (the 15th day of June 2024) is this year day of Arafat.

This reminds me,

Abu Hafsah (RA) reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: *"Fasting on the Day of 'Arafah absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year, and fasting on 'Ashura, (the tenth day of Muharram) atones for the sins of previous years."* 📚Reported by all except Al-Bukhari and At-Tirmidhi

In another saying the Prophet's wife Hafsah, (RA) said:

"Four things the Messenger of Allâh never neglected: Observing fast on the day of 'Ashura, 'Arafat, three days every month, and offering fajr sunnah prayers early in the morning." 📚Muslim

These statements are proof that fasting on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, the day before 'Eid ul-Adha was a lifelong practice of the Prophet (PBUH), as his wife reported.

*More Reasons Why We Should Not Miss-out In This Fasting:*

1. Fasting on this day is a forgiveness for two years. The sins of the previous year and of the coming year. 📚[Muslim]

*Note:*

This sins to be forgiven is a  sin committed against Allah (swt) only.. It does not wipe-off sins against ourselves eg - backbitting, slandering, cheating etc etc.. On the day of judgment, we are going to use our rewards of good deeds in paying anyone we offend in this world and he or she did not forgive us.. Yes.. *This is why we need to speed-up efforts by all means in doing voluntary good deeds, so we can generate plenty rewards b4 we die - (Death time that nobody knows) - Delaying doing good deeds in always very dangerous.*

2. There is no day on which Allah (swt) frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafah. 📚 [Muslim]

3. Three supplications will not be rejected, the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveller. 📚[Tirmidhi]

4. Whoever fasts one day for the sake of Allah, Allah will remove his face seventy years’ distance from the Fire. 📚 [Muslim]

5. Whoever fasts one day seeking the pleasure of Allah, if that is the last day of his life, he will enter Paradise. 📚 [Ahmad, Saheeh At-Targheeb]

6. Fasting will say on the day of resurrection) “O Lord, I prevented him from his food and physical desires during the day, so let me intercede for him.” 📚 [Musnad Ahmad]

May Allah (swt) spear our lives to fast on *(Saturday (the 15th day of June 2024)*, that's the Arafaat day and count us amongst those who will harvest from ALL the goodies Arafaat day is carrying.. Ameen Ya Rabb❗

Allah Alone Knows Best

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك

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 ...

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...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations. Qatadah رحمه الله said, _"Allah paraded the objects before the angels"_ *فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ* _And said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."_ [2:31] This was said to the Angels who in the previous verse said : *أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَ* _Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood._ [2:30] _ So they the Angels said  *قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِي...
