*The Story of ‘Bismillah’ and the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children:*

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (ra) said:  The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), a beautiful fragrance came to me.  I said: O Jibreel, what is this beautiful fragrance? He said: This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children. I said: What is their story? He said: Whilst she was combing the hair of Pharaoh’s daughter one day, the iron comb fell from her hand and she said,, ‘Bismillaah (in the name of Allah).’ The daughter of Pharaoh said: ‘My father?’ She said: ‘No. My Lord and the Lord of your father is Allah.’ She said: ‘I will tell him (Pharaoh) about that.’ She said: ‘Yes.’ So she told Pharaoh and he summoned her and said: ‘O So and so, do you have a Lord other than me?’ She said: ‘Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allah.’ He ordered that a baqarah (lit. “cow”) made of copper be heated up, then he ordered that she and her children be thrown into it. She said: ‘I have a request to make of you..’ He (pharaoh) said: ‘What is your request?’ She (hair dresser) said: ‘I would like my bones and my children’s bones to be gathered together in one cloth and buried.’ He (pharaoh) said: ‘This will be done for you.’ He (pharaoh) ordered that her children be thrown into it in front of her, one by one, until they came to the last one who was an infant boy who was still being breastfed.. It was as if she wavered because of him (ie - the child), but he (the infant child) said: ‘O mother,, go ahead, for the punishment of this world is easier to bear than the punishment of the hereafter.’ So she went ahead..”

بسم       ا       لله

‘Bismillah’, is another phrase to say before starting any of your actions.. This is bcoz it contains immense barakah rather than only self-conscious.

Servants of Allah!

Basmallah is a gift from Allah (swt), and the word - اسم - in Bismillah has covered all the spectrum of His divine names, without missing out not even one name we probably need today.

The Baa (ب) before اسم,,, in English, is equal to 'In', or 'with', or in this case, 'because' .. Yes..
Imagine this... By saying Bismillah before any of your actions, it's as if you were saying it is only possible for you to do this and that by Allah's aid only

Now,

When a person begins something by pronouncing Allah’s name (with sincerity in his heart💞), he/she will enjoy Allah’s support and succor .. Yes.. Allah will bless his/her efforts and protect him/her from the machinations and temptation of Satan.

*Additional Virtues Of Saying Bismillah B4 Every Action:*

BEFORE EATING OR DRINKING:

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “When one of you eats some food, let him say Bismillah, and if he forgets to do so at the beginning, let him say:

بسم الله فى اوله واخره

Bismillah fi awwalihi wa aakhirihi ~ (In the name of Allah at the beginning and end). 📚 Narrated by at-Tirmidhi, 1781

TO SUM IT UP:

Get used to saying Bismillah b4 commencing every action.. Yes,, every action.. B4 putting on and removing dresses,👚👗shoes 👠👛👢👝, b4 closing the door of your house or room, infact say Bismillah before commencing every action.. And we should as well teach our kids to get used to this.

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...
