INSPIRATIONAL STORY

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 11th day of Swafar 1447AH, Tuesday, 5th August 2025.

*_INSPIRATIONAL STORY_*. This story may or may not be a true life story but it contains very important lessons for us to ponder. BismilLah. 


A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.


The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this would be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.


When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said "This is your house, my gift for you."


The carpenter was in shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built!


Our situation can be compared to this carpenter. ALLAH Azzawajal has sent us to this world to build our homes in paradise by obeying HIS commands. Now, we have to decide how well we wish to build the homes where we will live forever. *_We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to aid us in building a better home for ourselves by HIS MERCY. 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...
