WISDOM and SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND OUR SALAAT (Prayers)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-sabt, 15th day of Swafar 1447AH, Saturday, 9th August 2025.

*_WISDOM and SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND OUR SALAAT (Prayers)_*. *BismilLah.


Some Muslim brothers and Sisters do ask why ALLAH command us to offer 5x Salaat. Salaat caries no wisdom, purpose, or significance and lacks logical harmony to some. They question why 5 times instead of making our own choice simply to test the loyalty and obedience of a servant to his master. But they fail to know it is simply a servant-master relationship and nothing beyond. If the servant obeys, he is rewarded and if he disobeys, he is then punished. Had there been no wisdom behind these shariah commands, how then it came to be based on human intention and psychology? The intention and motivation with which a person carries out these commands form the very basis of Shari’ah and 

Shari’ah applies this criterion for the acceptance or rejection of a servant’s performance. Imagine you are employed today by a big firm in your community, do you choose what to do or does your employer choose for you what to do? What happens if you fail to do as instructed? If you see that to be logic for your boss to sack you for not doing as instructed, how come ALLAH Azzawajal shouldn't instruct what HE wants?


Salat enables a man to see ALLAH (SWT) in the Hereafter. Our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) says that you will see ALLAH (S.W.T) in the Hereafter as you see the moon without doubting it. 


Salaat is the first and most important command in Shari’ah.  Its wisdom and significance have been mentioned both in the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of Prophet (S.A.W).  One can easily deduce from both sources that Salaat relates to life and affects the life in a big way. The entire world and creations within it are engaged in glorifying ALLAH (SWT) and submitting to HIS commands. *_We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to keep guiding our eemaan and guide our lazy ignorant brothers and sisters back to the habit of steadfastness of their Salaat_*. 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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
