Ummu Salamah* [[ Part 2-of-2 ]]

 *Ummu Salamah*

[[ Part 2-of-2 ]]
------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Umm Salamah (r.a.) and her first husband both were among the first persons to accept Islam. Only Abu Bakr and a few others, who could be counted on the fingers of one hand, became Muslims before them.

Abu Salamah (the first husband of Ummm Salamah), on his sick bed prayed and asked Allah to give his family a protector and provider like him. And he also asked the Prophet Muhammad to give Umm Salamah a husband who would give her neither sorrow nor hardship.

After his death, the Prophet (pbuh) proposed and married her.

*Lessons:*

Huge profit is not about who FIRST enter the market.

Several brothers knocked on your door to seeking for your hands in marriage, then, disappeared along the line without reasons shouldn't destabilize your mood in any way because they are not the best for you. Yes. The best ones are on the way soon. Just increase your hopes in Allah (swt), then, continue making Du'a to Allah to compensate you with the best of the best in an unquantifiable ways.

You approach many sisters with the intention of marriage, but some duped you, some deceived you, some just disappeared along the line without valid reasons. This shouldn't destabilize your mood in any way because they are not the best for you. Yes. It's not because you are not rich. No! The best ones are on the way soon. Just increase your hopes in Allah (swt), then, continue making Du'a to Allah to compensate you with the best of the best in an unquantifiable ways.

Your husband or wife suddenly changed after few years of marriage, and eventually, crisis sat down in your marriage which eventually ended up in divorce. This is Allah's plan about your life. This doesn't mean that you are bad in any way. In fact, 90% of people who experienced divorce in their life are only a victim of circumstances. Remember that it's *ONLY Nana Aʾishah* out the remaining wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who was not a divorced or a widow. So, your situations of being divorced ones or more shouldn't destabilize your mood in any way because there's nothing you can do to changing Allah's plan about your life.

Even if yours case is the death of your husband, at least, Ummu Salamah's case should be a good example for you. Know that it's Allah's plan about your life. Yes. The best of the best are on the way soon.

Somebody may say - *"the man or woman I'm marrying now is not as good to me as my ex.. Wallahi, Allah (swt) alone knows the best. Yes. It's possible that Allah (swt) want you to gain very plenty rewards of adapting patiently to the new changes in your life and gain Free-Lisence to entering Paradise.

My People!

Countless disappointment or delays are not due to spiritual attacks or evil plots of your enemies. No!. Even though it's apparently clear that your issues are spiritual-related, trust Allah (swt) that HE is using that to catapult you to the promise land where you will not have anything to say other than Alhamdulillah in the end.

Remember,

Prophet Yusuf (a.s.) wouldn't have became what Allah (swt) prepared for him (that's - becoming the king of Egypt) if his blood brothers (who were all prophet of Allah) did not jealously plot evils on him. Yes. Prophet Yusuf actually suffered, but in the end, he said Alhamdulillah!

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...
