HOW TO MAKE BETTER PROFIT IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT LIFE

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 11th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Wednesday, 3rd September, 2025.

*_HOW TO MAKE BETTER PROFIT IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT LIFE_*. Bismillah.


A person came to the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and said: “O Messenger of ALLAH! Today I have made such a profit that nobody in this valley could have gained as much as I did.”


The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Woe to you! How much is your profit?” The man said: “I kept on selling and buying until I earned 300 Uqiyyah.” Thereupon, the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “I will tell you the most valuable thing that a person can earn to boast about.” The man asked: “What is that, O Messenger of ALLAH?” The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied: “Two Rakaat (of supererogatory prayer) after (an obligatory) prayer.” [Abu Dawud, Kitaab al-Jihad].


Notice that the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) did not celebrate the man’s monetary success. Real profit is the profit of the Hereafter. Whatever wealth we earn in this life we leave behind when we depart from it. Only our deeds go with us, whether it is prayer, Sadaqah in the path of ALLAH, or any other injunction of Islam.


So, the Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) instructed the man in how he would be able to make a profit that is really worth talking about. This profitable venture, which is better than 60,000 silver coins a day, is two Rakaat of supererogatory prayer with each obligatory (Fard) prayer.


Imagine if we were to be handed out $100 in cash every day for praying these 12 extra Rakaat which our beloved messenger of ALLAH has even promised us a house in Jannat for those who pray it consistently, how many of us would not be able to find the time or energy to do it with such cash offer? But with all promises from ALLAH and HIS Messenger, we still find it difficult to offer the 12 sunnah salaat a day. Sad reality isn't it?. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal aid us in our effort to act only for HIS sake so that we can earn HIS Rahmah for Jannatul Firdaus_*. 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...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
