 *Days Righteous Deeds are More Beloved to Allah*

[[-- Episode Two --]]
--------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Each day that Allah (swt) gives us is an opportunity for us to grow closer to Him. It’s a chance to be grateful for what we have, and to implement more good deeds, and increase in our levels of faith.

In Sha Allah, in the next 4-5days to come, we are going to embark on one of those golden opportunities, which is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. The superiority of the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah has been mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Muslim Faithful!

Doing wrong in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, especially to people, increases the degree of sin more than the same act in other months.. Therefore, the first 10days of Dhul-Hijjah will come and go as do the days of life. So we should utilise them in the highest and best possible way.

Now,

Here are some of the established practices of these blessed days for us to incorporate into our worship, and lessons we can take from these days:

*Established Practices Number 2:* Give More Sadaqah

Not only are these days most beloved days to Allah - but He loves to be worshipped on them, and for us to put extra effort into doing good deeds like giving something out from our hard earn money as sadaqah during these days.

Servants Of Allah!

Many of us maximise our Sadaqah during the last ten nights of Ramadan, but the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are just as valuable. Yes. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to earn extra rewards for simple good deeds.

It's true that,

The economy is bad and everybody needs help financially in one way or the other, but this is what makes given out sadaqah more of a test which attract more heavier rewards in this current economic situation.

Evidence:

A man came to the Prophet, (PBUH) and he said, *“O Messenger of Allah, which charity has the greatest reward?” The Prophet said, “That you give charity while you are healthy, greedy, fearing poverty, and hoping to be rich. Do not delay giving...”* 📚Source: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 1419, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 1032

This is why,

Anybody who have something little or big in his or her pocket or Bank account in our society today should realise their responsibilities and should hasten to discharge the obligations they owe to the propagation of the religion of Allah (swt), orphans , poor widows and poorer people in the Islamic community. It's true that majority of people are economically poor but MANY MORE are more poorer than others. Hence the need to squeeze out something as sadaqah to put smile on some people's faces

*Words of Encouragement:*

Abu Hurayrah (r.a.) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said: *''Every morning, two angels descend. One of them says: 'O Allah, give the one who spends (in the way of Allah) compensation.' The other one says: 'O Allah, give the one who withholds (from spending in the way of Allah) more financial problems and worries of life.'"* 📚Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

We must remember that,

In the world of mathematics, 5-2=3 and one cannot increase what he or she have by giving it away😃. Yes. That’s mathematics. But, in the spiritual world, things work differently.. In the spiritual world, the more you give of what you value, the more your hearafter's savings account swells up😳. Infact , in most cases, the food or clothing you're spending on will not benefit you in this world and your Hearafter like the Sadaqah you will FREQUENTLY squeeze out resources to give. This why the word "Charity" is mentioned dozens of times in the Quran & authentic Hadith.

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك

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
