BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 25th day of Swafar 1447AH, Tuesday, 19th August 2025.

*_BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues_*. BismilLah. 


Yesterday, we reminded ourselves that calamities in our lives can also be blessings in disguise. Let's continue with some of the wisdom behind calamities: 


7. Calamities drive out self-admiration from our hearts and bring us closer to ALLAH Azzawajal. 


8. To demonstrate the true nature of people, for there are people whose virtue is unknown until calamity strikes 


Scholars said: As long as people are doing fine, their true nature is concealed, but when calamity strikes, their true natures are revealed, so the believer resorts to his faith and the hypocrite resorts to his hypocrisy.  


9. Calamities strengthen people’s resolve   

ALLAH Azzawajal chose for HIS Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) a hard life filled with all kinds of hardship from a young age, in order to prepare him for the great mission that awaited him, which none could bear.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was born an orphan, then it was not long before his mother died too. 


ALLAH reminded the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) of that when HE said: 

“Did HE not find you O Muhammad) an orphan and give you a refuge?” [al-Duha 93:6]


It is as if ALLAH wanted to prepare the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) to bear responsibility and endure hardship from an early age. To be continued in shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. 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 ...

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 Ω„َΩ‚َΨ―ۡ ΩƒَفَΨ±َ Ω±Ω„َّΨ°ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω‚َΨ§Ω„ُوٓΨ§ْ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ω‡ُوَ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ Ω±Ψ¨ۡΩ†ُ Ω…َΨ±ۡيَΩ…َۖ وَΩ‚َΨ§Ω„َ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ يَٰΨ¨َΩ†ِيٓ Ψ₯ِΨ³ۡΨ±َٰٓΨ‘ِΩŠΩ„َ Ω±ΨΉۡΨ¨ُΨ―ُواْ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ψ±َΨ¨ِّي وَΨ±َΨ¨َّΩƒُΩ…ۡۖ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّΩ‡ُΫ₯ Ω…َΩ† يُΨ΄ۡΨ±ِΩƒۡ Ψ¨ِΩ±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ِ فَΩ‚َΨ―ۡ Ψ­َΨ±َّΩ…َ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ُ ΨΉَΩ„َيۡΩ‡ِ Ω±Ω„ۡΨ¬َΩ†َّΨ©َ وَΩ…َΨ£ۡوَΩ‰ٰΩ‡ُ Ω±Ω„Ω†َّΨ§Ψ±ُۖ وَΩ…َΨ§ Ω„ِΩ„ΨΈَّٰΩ„ِΩ…ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω…ِΩ†ۡ Ψ£َΩ†Ψ΅َ...

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...
