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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, 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 the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader.

All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
