TAU’BAH (SEEKING FORGIVENESS) is our khutbah today be-izniLLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 19th day of Swafar, 1446AH (Friday, 23rd August 2024).

*_TAU’BAH  (SEEKING FORGIVENESS) is our khutbah today be-izniLLAH_*. BismilLaah.


Alhamdulillah for granting us another blessed day of the week.  As believers, we must run away from sins as one runs away from a wild animal.  Even a minor sin makes a true believer restless as if a mountain is above his head and is about to fall on him and crush him.


Let's make a U-turn in life, wash off our slate of deeds, eliminate the bad deeds, and protect our good deeds. Method of making Tau’bah are as follows:


1. Immediately abstain from the sin. 

2. Regret and wish one had never indulged in the sin. 

3. Resolved to never commit the sin again seeking help from ALLAH. 

4. If one has violated the rights of another person, it is necessary to seek forgiveness from that person. 


After making sincere tau’bah be confident in the acceptance of your tau’bah. ALLAH (Subhanahu WaTaala) is all-Merciful and all forgiving. HE is always ready to accept the repentance of HIS sinful slaves.  ALLAH says in Suurah Al-e-Imran:

“And those who, when they have committed Faahishah or wronged themselves with evil, remember ALLAH and ask forgiveness for their sins  - and none can forgive sins but ALLAH. ALLAH says in the  Qur'an that we should not persist in what we have done, while they know.” [Al-Qur’an 3:135]  AlhamdulilLah. *_May ALLAH, forgive our sins and protect us from committing the sins_*. 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...
