HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 7th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Thursday. 6th Feb. 2025).

*_HOW TO MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN(FAITH)_*. Bismillah.


As Muslims, it's important to reset our lifestyle if we truly need ALLAH Azzawajal to change our lives for the better. ALLAH says in the Qur'an that HE Azzawajal does not change the condition of anyone till the person changes his or her life to HIS obedience. How do we implement an emotional reset? The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, gave us the solution for this by saying: "Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures - death." (At-Tirmidhi, 579).


Indeed, remembering the trials surrounding the experience of death knocks us back into a state of true awareness. By “remember” I do not simply mean the act of recalling; we mean internalizing the reality that awaits us and the understanding that our actions will determine the severity or ease of the experience. Qur'an Chapters 81 and 82 portray graphic imagery of the end of this world as we know it. Reading and reflecting on these signs would leave one feeling rattled. It brings with it an amount of wisdom that produces tranquillity in the face of hardship.

Thus, if all else fails, the remembrance of death alone is a sufficient motivator in the life of a believer. 


ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Qur,'An as we all know , 'Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection...(Qur'an 3:185).

The awareness of death and its realities guides one to repent and seek forgiveness for sins consistently. It keeps us humble and in check. It brings with it an amount of wisdom that produces tranquility in the face of hardship, inner contentment with our provisions and blessings, and sweetness in performing acts of worship that go towards fulfilling our purpose in this life and keeping our priorities in order. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding us all and increase in us more beneficial knowledge_*. 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 ...

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...
