THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 27th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Monday, 30th September 2024). *_THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 


Many of us seem to spend an incredible amount of time and energy chasing the dream job. After all, a bigger paycheck often translates into a better car, a bigger house, and a higher worldly social status. Each of us is dreaming such a big, which also includes a beautiful wife, a wealthy husband etc.


But we are warned about this in The Qur’an where ALLAH says  *Alhaakumuttakaathur hatta zurtumulmaqaabir*

“Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you (from the remembrance of ALLAH), till you come to the graves” (102: 1-2).

“Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and ALLAH has with HIM a great reward.” (64:15). 


Ever think of the results of all of your worldy efforts?

”It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.” (79:46). READ AGAIN PLEASE. 


Have you ever stopped for a minute and considered building a house for yourself in Jannah instead of in dunya? 

”ALLAH will build a house in Jannah for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah rakaats daily (as follows: 2 before Fajr, 4 rakat before and 2 after Dhur, 2 after the Maghrib, and 2 after Ishaa).” (Tirmidhi). Do we do these? 


Yet worries and anxieties are dominating our lives so much so that many of us have even missed a few obligatory prayers for some worldly reason and also offer our salaat late because we are busy chasing money we will die and leave behind. Have we forgotten our appointment with the Angel of Death? Our meeting with ALLAH? 


Is not funny that all our efforts on earth will one day be left for inheritance and you will be accountable for all things you acquired which others enjoy after your death but you are accountable to all and maybe PUNISHED whilst others including those you hated are enjoying it as inheritance. Let's think twice and focus on investment that will benefit us when we die, which can be today or even within the next few minutes SubhaanAllah. 


*_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any illnesses_*. Aameen.

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
