OFFERING OUR SALAAT ONTIME

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 28th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1445AH (Wednesday 5th June 2024). *_OFFERING OUR SALAAT ONTIME_*. BismilLah. 


We all know there are five pillars of Islam; Salah is one and most important Pillar of Islam after Shahaadah. When someone prays he is known to be Muslim because he is worshipping ALLAH Almighty who is his creator and the Lord of everything in this world and Hereafter too and whoever chooses not to offer their 5 daily salaat has nullified his or her claim to be Muslim. Salah is an Arabic word and its basic meaning is to worship or praying. It’s obligatory on every Muslim to pray five times in a day and Most importantly ON TIME. In the Holy Quran, ALLAH Almighty says: “Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers… If you fear (salaat time elapsing), pray on foot, or riding. ”(Quran 2:238-9). Search for the commentary of this verse to understand the importance of praying on time. 


Salah has many benefits one of them is that it’s the way of communication with ALLAH Almighty and also it restrains one from doing evil deeds. Purpose of Salah is to bring ourselves in touch with ALLAH Almighty; to intensify our relationship with HIM; to be grateful for all HIS blessings, and to remind ourselves of HIS Greatness. Just as the body requires physical needs such as food and water, the soul has spiritual needs and our spiritual need is to pray Salah on time.


ALLAH the Most High says in Holy Quran about Salah: “But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness.” (Quran, 19: 59-60). From this verse, we came to know that by missing prayer does not mean that someone is not praying at all it means not praying on its due time. In shaa ALLAH I will share with you in tomorrow's reminder proof from the Quran and Sunnah that praying ontime is the most important part of the salaat not just about praying whenever we wish. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and aid us to offer our salaat ontime_*. 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...
