OUR AQEEDAH AS MUSLIMS

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 15th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Sunday, 7th September, 2025.

*_OUR AQEEDAH AS MUSLIMS_*. *Bismillaah*


Aqeedah refers to those matters which are believed in, with certainty and conviction, in one’s heart and soul. They are not tainted with any doubt or uncertainty.


The Arabic word ‘aqeedah stems from the root ‘aqada, which conveys meanings of certainty, affirmation, confirmation, etc.


In Islam, ‘aqeedah is a matter of knowledge. The Muslim must believe in their heart and have faith and conviction, with no doubts or misgivings, because ALLAH Azzawajal has told us about ‘aqeedah in HIS Book and via HIS Revelations to HIS Messenger (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him). 


The principles of ‘aqeedah are those which ALLAH Azzawajal has commanded us to believe in, as mentioned in the aayah 

"The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from HIS Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in ALLAH, HIS Angels, HIS Books and HIS Messengers. They say, ‘We make no distinction between one and another of HIS Messengers’ and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to YOU is the return (of all).’" [al-Baqarah 2:285].


As defined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the famous hadeeth which describes how Jibreel came to him and asked him about Islam etc.: "Eemaan (faith) is to believe in ALLAH, HIS angels, HIS Books, the meeting with HIM on the Last Day, HIS Messengers, and the Day of Resurrection."


So in Islam, ‘aqeedah refers to the matters which are known from the Qur’aan and sound ahaadeeth, and which the Muslim must believe in the heart, in acknowledgement of the truth of ALLAH and HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. As soon as you doubt anything ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Qur'an or the Prophet said in authentic Hadith, you've lost your eemaan or faith and Satan will begin to put doubt in your faith till you abandon Islam for idol worship or for deviated sects. AstaghfirulLah. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. 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...

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...
