 🌷*Go for the GOLD! Pray in the FIRST Row!*🌷 by Asma bint Shameem Aah. The first row... What I would do to pray in the first row of the congregation.  So immense is the reward and so great is its virtue that it makes me *compete* with my sisters to pray there and try hard to beat them to it.  But sadly, I see many of us don't know it's value.  When I walk into the masjid, I see people praying but they are scattered everywhere....a few here, a few there.  Almost always, there are several broken rows with huge gaps in between them, and the first row is usually only partially complete.  What's worse is that when the people are asked to move forward to complete the first row, no one wants to move!  Many people are reluctant and look at you weirdly when requested to complete the rows.  *So what's so special about praying in the first row?*  Here are some of the virtues.  🌷*It's the instructions of the Prophet ﷺ* 🍃He ﷺ said: “Complete the ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 8th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Tuesday, 30th September, 2025. *_THE STORY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE PROPHET LUT ALAIHI SALAAM_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH the Exalted states in the Qur’an 54:33-40 that the people of Lut defied and denied their Messenger and committed sodomy, the awful immoral sin that no people in the history of mankind had committed before. This is why ALLAH Azzawajal destroyed them with a type of torment that HE never inflicted upon any nation before them. ALLAH the Exalted commanded Jibril, peace be upon him, to raise their cities to the sky and then turn them upside down over them, followed by stones made of marked Sijjil. So ALLAH Azzawajal said: ﴾إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَـصِباً إِلاَّ آلَ لُوطٍ نَّجَّيْنَـهُم بِسَحَرٍ ﴿ (Verily, ALLAH sent against them Hasib (a violent storm of stones) except the family of Lut, them ALLAH saved in the last hour of the night.) They left the city in the last part of the night and w...

 The cursed women. Alhamdulillah, As we know it is haraam in Islam for a man to imitate a woman and same as a woman to imitate a man. As reported in hadith, It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: 'May Allah curse Al-Mutanammisat, women who have tattoos done and womenwho have their teeth separated, those who change the creation of Allah, Mighty and Sublime." As reported in hadith, Narrated `Abdullah: Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom theProphet (ﷺ) has cursed? And that is in Allah's Book. i.e. His Saying: 'And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).' (59.7) Sahih al-Bukhari 5931

 What passes Infront of a praying person that nullifies his prayer? As reported in hadith, Narrated `Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of thepraying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him." Sahih al-Bukhari 511. So if a woman passes Infront of the praying person while he has no sutrah(a wall) to prevent him from being distracted. He has to start the prayer again, same as a dog and a donkey. some scholars say the woman here refers to a menstrual woman and the dog is a black dog because the prophet pbuh said, the black dog is a devil.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 7th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Monday, 29th September, 2025. *_MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ISLAM_*. Bismillah. Many non Muslims especially in the West seem to have many misconceptions about Muslims and Islam. Many believe that the Western world is advanced, enlightened and liberated, while Islam is just the opposite: primitive, ignorant and oppressed. One reason for this belief is that the media has time and again portrayed Muslims in a way contrary to Islamic teachings. The key to understanding Islam and Muslims is to resist stereotypes and examine each situation according to Islamic teachings, and NOT by some Muslims’ actions. For this reason, it's our duty to address the most common misconceptions. Have you ever wondered why a "Nun" can be covered from head to toe and she’s respected for devoting herself to God, but when a Muslim woman covers, she’s viewed as “oppressed”? Or why a Jew can grow a beard and he’s just practising hi...

 The importance of tawheed. Alhamdulillah, the word Tawheed came from Waheed meaning oneness or monotheism. Allah says,  Say; He is Allah, One and Only Ikhlas 112;1. Tawheed is the source of the religion and the message of all the messengers. Allah says, Al-Anbiya 21:25 وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me." There is no messenger except the message Allah sent him with was to call people to worship him alone

 The dignity of Solaah on the day of Qiyaamah. As reported in the hadith, Abu Hurayrah r.a was reported saying, Prayer said by a man in congregation is twenty five degrees more excellent than prayer said by him alone in his house or in the market. This is because when any of you performs ablution and does it perfectly, and goes out to the mosque having no intention except praying, and nothing moves him except prayer, then at every step which he takes his rank is elevated by one degree on account of this(walking), and one sin is remitted from him for this (walking), till he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque, he will be reckoned as praying as long as he will be detained by the prayer. The angels keep on invoking blessing on any of you so long as he remains seated in the place he prayer, saying: O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him; O Allah, accept his repentance so long as he does not harm anyone, or breaks his ablution. Sunan Abi Dawud 559. This hadith means i...

 *Need a Blessing?* [[---- Part 1 ----]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Every Muslim believes that Allah (SWT) is the source of all blessings (barakah). These blessings are not just in wealth, but in time, health, peace of mind, and spiritual contentment. However, these blessings are not unconditional. They are a trust from Allah, and our actions can either increase them or cause them to be diminished or even removed. This reminds me, Mustapha was a man driven by ambition. He was intelligent, hardworking, and charismatic. But in his heart, he believed his success was 99% his own doing. His faith was a compartment, a part of his identity, but not the core driver of his decisions. His business began to skyrocket. He became extraordinarily wealthy. He moved his family into a mansion, drove the finest cars, and his children attended the most exclusive schools. By every worldly metric, Mustapha had "made it." But a strange emptiness began to creep in. The money flowed i...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 6th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Sunday, 28th September, 2025. *_OUR SUSTENANCE IS FROM ALLAH AZZAWAJAL IF INDEED WE OBEY AND FOLLOW HIS COMMANDS_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: "There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance depends on ALLAH: HE knows the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record". Qur'an, 11: 6. The clear Qur'anic teachings destroy the basic assumptions of the Population Control campaign. ALLAH says "And the earth I, ALLAH have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. And I, ALLAH have provided therein means of subsistence, for you and for those for whose sustenance you are not responsible." [Hijr 15:19-20]. People, birds, fish, animals, insects and reptiles are all creatures, which need food, air and water. ALLAH Azzawajal has bestowed HIS sustenance on...

 ✨ `Fill Your Home With Barakah` ✨ The M essenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not turn your houses into graves. Shayṭān does not enter the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.” (Muslim 780) He ﷺ also said: “Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking it brings blessing, abandoning it brings regret, and the magicians cannot confront it.” (Muslim 804) 🏡 Make it a daily habit to recite Surah Al-Baqarah in your home. *It will protect your family from shayṭān, bring barakah, and strengthen the atmosphere of imān.* Let our homes shine with the light of Qur’an. 📖

 The day of qiyaamah and the ten signs of the day of qiyaamah. Alhamdulillah, As we know, there are ten signs of the day of qiyaamah As reported in Hadith, Hudhaifa b. Usaid reported: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was in an apartment and we were beneath that, that he peeped in and said to us: What are you discussing about? We said: (We are discussing about the Last) Hour. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come until the ten signs appear: land-sliding in the east, and land-sliding inthe west, and land-sliding in the peninsula of Arabia, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast of the earth, Gog and Magog, the rising of the sun from the west and the fire which would emit from the lower part of 'Adan. Shu'ba said that 'Abd al-'Aziz b. Rufai' reported on the authority of Abu Tufail who reported on the authority of Abu Sariha a hadith like this that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) did not make a mention of (the tenth sign) but he said that out of the ten one was the descent of Jesus,...

 The story of the Sahaba, Ka'b ibn Ubayy Radiya Allahu Anhu.. "O Abu Mundhir! Which verse of the Book of God is the greatest?" asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. "Allah and His Messenger know best," came the reply. The Prophet repeated the question and Abu Mundhir replied. "Allah, there is no god but He, the Living the Self-Subsisting. Neither slumber overtakes him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth, ..." and most likely he went on to complete the Verse of the Throne (Ayat al-Kursi). The Prophet smote his chest with his right hand in approval on hearing the reply and with his countenance beaming with happiness, said to Abu Mundhir. "May knowledge delight and benefit you, Abu Mundhir." This Abu Mundhir whom the Prophet congratulated on the knowledge and understanding which God had bestowed on him was Ubayy ibn Kab, one of his distinguished companions and a person of hig...

 The day of Friday and the Sunnan acts on Friday. Alhamdulillah, Friday is the best day of the week. Allah chose this day as the best day among all days and also chose the month of Ramadhan as the best month and the best of days of dhil hijjah. Allah says in Qur'an , Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is a great day Allah chose because it was the day Adam was created. As reported in hadith, Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he wasmade to enter Paradise, on it he. was expelled from it. Sahih Muslim 854. Som...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 4th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Friday, 26th September, 2025. *_ISLAMIC RULINGS ON LOST AND FOUND ITEMS_*. BismilLah  Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week. Islam has solutions to all issues in life so let's study from the Sunnah about this topic.  Al-luqtah is property that has gone missing from its owner and it is one of the categories of Islamic jurisprudence or fiqh. If property goes missing from its owner, it has to be one of the following three scenarios: The first scenario: it is something to which most people would not attach much value, such as a whip, a loaf of bread, some fruit, or a miswak etc, something that is perishable or has no value. In these cases, the person who finds the property may keep it and use it without having to announce it, because of the report narrated by Jaabir RA, who said: “The Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) made...

 As a typical man of piety our hero was very kind to all his acquaintances, whom he visited when ill and inquired about when absent. A very interesting case is reported in the encounter between our hero and his drunkard neighbour, who would get drunk and keep singing aloud all night long causing so much annoyance to Abu Hanifah. Once the police caught the man (the noisy neighbour) and took him to prison. Abu Hanifah noticed that night that the neighbourhood was quiet. So he inquired about his noisy neighbour. Upon knowing of his neighbour's imprisonment, he rushed to the governor of the city interceding for his neighbour who was immediately released. Not only that, Abu Hanifah gave the man some money to compensate for the earnings he lost due to imprisonment. The drunkard was so impressed with this kind attitude and treatment that he decided to repent and devote his time to learning the message of Islam in the mosque. Abu Hanifah's fear of falling into fault made him refuse all...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 3rd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Thursday, 25th September, 2025. *_TREATING HUSBANDS WELL TO PLEASE ALLAH_* Bismillah. In yesterday's reminder, I reminded my fellow brothers about the good treatment of our wives. I want to remind our sisters today about their part to play.  ALLAH Azzawajal commanded the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to tell us that: "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because ALLAH Azzawajal has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to ALLAH and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what ALLAH orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.)., ..." [Noble Quran 4:34]. The verse seems to present a great right of the husband over the wife. Upon deeper thought, it is clear that this verse actually points to a right of the wife and an ob...

 *Remarrying Issue* [[-Final Episode-]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Making use of this medium, I want to remind us of the Quranic verse: "And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought." 📚(Quran 30:21) The Sakinah (tranquility) and Rahmah (mercy) in every marriage are from Allah. Yes. Your job is to create the conditions for them to grow. This reminds me, Khalid was a 45-year-old man whose first marriage ended after 15 years in a painful, quiet divorce. It was a marriage that had slowly faded from love to coexistence. He was a good father to his two teenage daughters, but his heart felt like a closed book. Amina, a 42-year-old widow, had lost her husband to a sudden illness five years prior. She had a young son and had built a life of quiet resilience, running a small business from home. She had loved he...
