Days Righteous Deeds are More Beloved to Allah* [[-- Episode Two --]]

 *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

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...
