 *Ali ibn Al-Husayn* -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم If you can, every month, walk to any popular pharmacy or medicine store in your town, jack-out a minimum of say 2k from your monthly take-home pay (I mean your salary), position yourself there for like few minutes to see fellow Muslims you don't know, who may come with drugs prescription paper BUT can not afford to pay for all the drugs, then, use the 2k to pay for their medical bills and walk away. If you do this or similar hidden acts, Wallahi right from this world, you will see. *Many Muslims are suffering:* 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 poorer people. On the above, Almighty Allah will punish those on the Judgment Day who spend their wealth only on their families without giving the due right to the poor and needy people. 📚 Evidence in the...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 1st day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Friday. 31st Jan. 2025). *_MEANING OF ALLAH CREATING HUMANS IN HIS OWN IMAGE_*.  BismilLah. Alhamdulillah, for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week.  Imam Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ طُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا ALLAH Azzawajal created Aadam in HIS image, sixty cubits tall. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5873, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi In another narration, the Prophet said: إِذَا قَاتَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَجْتَنِبْ الْوَجْهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ If one of you fights his brother, then let him avoid the face. Verily, ALLAH Azzawajal created Aadam in HIS image. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2612, Grade: Sahih. The pairing of the human image with ALLAH Azzawajal is an expression meant to bestow inherent dignity upon every human bei...

 Islam and dating. Alhamdulillah,dating is not allowed in Islam where a man and girl chats and share ideas and do everything without the awareness of the girl's parents. If one sees a lady he is interested should visit her house and make the parents aware, if the parents agree, then he is free to chat and to know about her for a while but not for years. And whenever he sees her should not touch her or try to have fornication with her because she is still non mahram to him until he does the nikkah. Today many ladies have lost their shame and modesty in the name of dating when a guy takes advantage of her and the leave to get another girl. This is not accepted as a Muslim. Dating in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend where zina,.kissing takes place is dangerous and Leds to evil. Allah says, And do not approach adultery. Surah 17;32. May Allah safeguards us and our Eeman. Aamin

 The story of fear of Allah alone. There lived a man who was in a good and pious man. he always tell his student to fear Allah and none again. The children were amazed as always he will tell them to fear Allah. One day, the teacher took a mat to pray as it was in the forest. The children were looking at their teacher from afar. He rise and started praying and after the prayer took the mat and place it where it was. The children from afar decided to come to their teacher. As they approached closer to the mat, they saw a big snake on the mat and they were scared. The teacher turned and saw the snake too and said this is the fear of Allah. When we fear Allah, Allah protects us from every harm since we feared him A lesson is that in life, let's make Allah everything.he will see us through no matter how difficult things are. May Allah grants us his taqwa. Aamin

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 30th day of Rajab 1446AH, Thursday. 30th Jan. 2025). *_MEANING OF ALLAH CREATING HUMANS IN HIS OWN IMAGE_*.  BismilLah. Unfortunately, other faiths have made a serious mistake in trying to compare The CREATOR, ALLAH Azzawajal with HIS Creation human beings in physical appearance, and that's blasphemy and serious error  Sheikh AbuAmina, in one of his articles, explained that, in Islam, we believe that all people have been created in the “image” of ALLAH Azzawajal. But what does this mean? ALLAH Azzawajal is the creator of everything, including all people. That people are in the “image of ALLAH Azzawajal” means they are in the form that HE, ALLAH Azzawajal has chosen and honored for them, not that they resemble ALLAH Azzawajal in physical appearance or share in the Divine Essence. Just as we say a righteous person is the “servant of ALLAH” and a mosque is the “house of ALLAH” as a way to honor them, likewise is it an added dignity fo...

 *Haven't you Heard?* [[------- Part Six -------]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم Haven't you heard that the same devil or shaytan who tricked our grandfather (Prophet Adam) and he was sent out of the Jannah have not surrendered his weapon?.. The same shaytan is still the one tricking all the descendants of Prophet Adam (a.s.) to dislike every deeds that will earn them Allah s mercy. My people! Recently, something happened in one of the orphanage houses here which made me feel guilty (as a Muslim) each time I remembered the pathetic episode. Today! A Muslim will buy Airtime for calls and Internet access. Reasonable amounts is always deducted from our money by our Banks without our permission, etc etc.... But if a call is made in our places of worship (Masjid) to support one religious program or the other, then, that permanent enemy (shaytan) will appear from no where. Muslim Faithful! Righteousness in Islam does not mean that because you are observing ...

 The month of Sha'ban. Alhamdulillah, the month of Sha'ban is the month of Rasulullah salla Allahu alayhi wasalam As we are getting closer to Sha'ban left with two days to enter that month, it is Sunnah and recommended to fast on that month. As reported, It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: “I asked ‘Aishah about the fasting of the Prophet (ﷺ). She said: ‘He used to fast until we thought he would always fast. And he used to not fast until we thought he would always not fast. I never saw him fast more in any month than in Sha’ban. He used to fast all of Shaban; he used to fast all of Sha’ban except a little Sunan ibn Majah. Vol. 1, Book 7, Hadith 1710. 'A’isha (RAA) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast until one would say, he never breaks his fast (i.e. he never stops fasting), and he would abandon fasting (at other times) until one would say that he never fasts. And I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fast for a complete month except for the month of ...

 Never underestimate any good deeds. Let's remind ourselves of the story of the prostitute and the dog who entered Jannah because of giving it water to drink. As reported in the Hadith, Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There was a dog moving around a well whom thirst would have killed. Suddenly a prostitute from the prostitutes of Bani Isra'il happened to see it and she drew water in hershoe and made it drink, and she was pardoned because of this. Sahih Muslim 2245. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man tooka shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise." Sahih al-Bukhari 173. There is small deeds that if we do can be pleasant to Allah and led us to Jannah.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 29th day of Rajab 1446AH, Wednesday. 29th Jan. 2025). *_ZIKIR AFTER SALAAT, FIRST THING FIRST_*. BismilLah.  It's a sad reality that some imams and individuals will just start making dua after the final Tasleem and ignore what the Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam thought us to do after salaat. There are many zikir, the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam thought among them is the following to be recited after salaat.  Reported by Abu Hurayrah(RA) from the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him): “Whoever glorifies ALLAH (says Subhaan ALLAH) thirty-three times after each prayer, and praises ALLAH (says Al-hamdu Lillaah) thirty-three times, and magnifies ALLAH (says Allaahu akbar) thirty-three times, this makes ninety-nine, then to complete one hundred says Laa ilaaha ILL-ALLAAH wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except ALLAH...

 *Abu Yazid's Story* -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم Abu Yazid al Busṭami was a young child when he woke and saw his father praying. He asked him to teach him how to wash and pray with him, and his father said, *“But you are still young,”* to which he (the young boy) responded, *“When the day of judgment comes, I will say I asked you to teach me but you refused.”* So, his father immediately taught him, and he began a lifelong habit of tahajjud. Also, Sahl ibn ʿAbd Allah al Tustari began praying tahajjud when he was three years old at the encouragement of his uncle. Parents/Guardians! How many of us cares to initiate our children or even our wives/husband & people under our custody into midnight investment (Tahajjud)? Servants of Allah! A sister once told me of an Iman in one of the masaajid in Abuja (Nigeria), who have ALL his children initiated into Tahajjud, including the under-aged (Below 3years).. Yes.. The children once visited their maternal grand...

 Associating partner with Allah (Al shirk). Alhamdulillah,shirk is one of the greatest sin in Islam As we know, anyone who commits shirk and dies without repenting with enter hellfire. As we know, the testimony between man and Allah is to worship him alone. And there is nothing shaitan feels happy than one committing shirk. Allah says, Allah does not forgiveth the sin of associating partners with him but he forgive other than that. Surah 4;48. Anyone who dies with shirk, all his deeds are nullified and he will enter hellfire forever. As Jesus said to his disciples, And whosoever associate partners with Allah verily paradise is forbidden for him. Surah 5;72 As reported in the hadith, It is narrated on the authority of Mu'adh b. Jabal that he observed: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on an ass known as 'Ufair. He (Mu'adh) observed: He (the Holy Prophet) said: Mu'adh, do you know what right has Allah over His bondsmen and what right have His bondsmen over Hi...

 Protecting the image and honour of our Muslim brother or sister. Alhamdulillah, we need to protect the honour of our brother and sister in Islam As it was reported in hadith, Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour. Sahih Muslim 2564. Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who defends the honour of his (Muslim) brot...

 The belief in the scriptures. Alhamdulillah, one of the pillars of faith is to believe in the sacred scriptures. As Allah says, Al-Baqarah 2:285 The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination." So this is the article of faith. We Muslims believe in all the scriptures Allah revealed and these scriptures, the taurah, the zabur(psalm), the injeela(gospel) and the Quran. We believe in all of these but a believer is not to believe in the modern bible as word of Allah as these scriptures had be altered. Allah says, Al-Baqarah 2:79 فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا قَلِي...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 27th day of Rajab 1446AH, Monday. 27th Jan. 2025). *_INTER-CULTURAL/ INTER-TRIBAL MARRIAGES; A QUR'AN REFLECTION_*. BismilLah. In Islam, the concept of diversity and tolerance is found many times in the Qur’an and hadith (records of the words of the Prophet peace be upon him). We find diversity in all our masaajid and Islamic functions, with Muslims from different parts of the world and of different cultures and backgrounds. Accordingly, as Muslims, it is only natural that we have inter-cultural marriages in our respective communities. However, it is unfortunate that many brothers and sisters who would like to get married to someone of another culture experience many hardships due to lack of eemaan, lack of Islamic knowledge, etc, by the parents.  The following is a Qur’anic reflection from Surat Ar-Rum  (Qur’an 30).  From verse 20, ALLAH Azzawajal says, "Among HIS signs is that HE created you from dust; then, suddenly you we...

 The Deen of Islam and it's pillars. Alhamdulillah, one of the things every Muslim should know is on the Deen. It is obligatory to know our Deen and religion as the messenger of Allah peace be upon him, Seeking of knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim. Tirmidhee. If a Muslim does not seek the knowledge of his Deen will either die in ignorance or misguidance and innovation. Once imam Ahmad ibn Hanbali rahimullah was asked why don't you stop travelling to seek knowledge as you have done much. He replied, I will never give up seeking for knowledge until death comes to me. Islam means submission.. It means to soley submit our lives only for Allah and obeying and avoiding his commands and prohibitions. And Islam is built upon five pillars. First is the declaration of faith. Altering Ash hadu Al laa ilaha illa Allah, wa Ash hadu Anna Muhammadan abduhuu warasuuluhu. The second is establishing the prayers. Third is giving zakah Fourth is fasting in the month of Ramadan Fifth is to ...

 Islam is the path of Jannah. Alhamdulillah, the only religion in the sight of Allah is islam. Allah says, Verily the religion in the sight of Allah is Al Islam Surah 3;19. In another ayah, The Quran says, Anyone who seeks any religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him and in the hereafter will be among the losers. Surah 3;85. As reported from the hadith, It was narrated from Bishr bin Suhaim that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a sermon on the days of Tashriq (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) and said: “No one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and these days are thedays of eating and drinking.” Sunan Ibn Majah Vol. 1, Book 7, Hadith 1720. As this religion of Islam is the religion of all the prophets. From Nuhu A.S to the final of all the messengers, Muhammad s.a.w. Allah says, Ash-Shura 42:13  He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham an...

 *Fasting is Knocking* [[---- Episode 14 ----]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم Think of Ramadan as a 29 or 30-day reward sale, for which you start saving up money before-hand, so that you can spend more to buy yourself as many bonus points as you can.  Now, Continuation of the previous episodes - as promised - *How do you prepare your body & soul for this task?* *Number 6:* Start practicing giving more charity before the month of Ramadan and continue during the month of Ramadan Before we dive into the above subheading point, it's good to tell ourselves the bitter truth that if our well-to-do Muslims are giving out zakat, no single Muslim especially children and orphans will get himself or herself in a situation of battling with what to eat. On this, Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, “Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snak...

It was recorded in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of ALLAH Azzawajal said: (If you ask ALLAH for Paradise, then ask HIM for Al-Firdaws, for it is the highest part of Paradise, in the middle of Paradise, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise, and above it is the (Mighty) Throne of the Most Merciful.). Who shall inherit Jannatul Firdaus? (Verses 1-10 of Quran 23) narrates that, Successful indeed are the believers. Those who with their Salah are Khashi`un (who pray with tranquillity, focused and extremely attentive). And those who turn away from Al-Laghw(unnecessary talking, actions which waste our time). And those who pay their Zakah. And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives, for then, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors, meaning risk of not attaining Jannatul...
