LET'S PURIFY OUR HEARTS TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF EEMAAN(FAITH)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 9th day of Rajab 1446AH, Thursday. 9th Jan. 2025).

*LET'S PURIFY OUR HEARTS TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF EEMAAN(FAITH)_*. BismilLah. 


In an authentic hadith narrated by al-Abbas Bin Abdul-Muttalib (the Prophet’s uncle) recorded by Imam Muslim, the Prophet (Sallallaahu AlaihiWasallam) said, “Indeed he who is pleased (and content) with ALLAH as his/her Lord (Rubb), Islam as his/her Deen and Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam as his Messenger has tasted the sweetness of faith (eeman).”


How can one taste the sweetness of eeman? We perceive taste through sensory organs called taste buds located on top of the tongue. The taste sensation and flavours are produced and determined when a substance in the mouth reacts with the receptors of taste buds. Thus, sweet and bitter tastes can be experienced by the tongue.


Eeman is neither a food nor a substance that can be tasted by the tongue. How would one then taste eeman and which organ is responsible for that? The organ responsible for the taste of eeman is the heart. The Prophet (SAW) once pointed to his chest declaring taqwa is here; indicating that eeman is in the heart. We know from an aayah in surat al-Hujurat where, in response to the Bedouin Arabs who came to the Prophet (S.A.W) claiming eeman, ALLAH (SWT) rejected their claim saying,“You have not yet come to believe, all you may say is ‘We have surrendered,’ and not until eeman enters your heart” (al-Hujurat, 49:14). This ayah is a clear proof that the organ responsible for eeman is the heart. If the heart is sound one may experience the sweet taste of eeman. Otherwise, one’s eeman is either weak or the heart is so corrupt and damaged that there isn’t a mustard seed’s weight of eeman in one’s heart.  *_May ALLAH Azza Wajalla protect our eemaan and aid us to taste it in our hearts_*. 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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now.

All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
