A Mother’s Silent Sacrifice ❤️

 *A Mother’s Silent Sacrifice ❤️*


When I think of strength, I think of my mother. She’s the kind of woman who would spend hours in the kitchen, cooking meal after meal for us — yet forget to eat a bite herself. 


There were days she’d give us the last portion of food and pretend she wasn’t hungry. Some nights, she survived on nothing but tea or water, smiling as if everything was fine. Then came a day when her body could no longer hide the exhaustion. She fell ill, and we feared losing her. 


The doctor told us what we already knew deep down — she wasn’t eating enough, she was tired, and she had been sacrificing too much for too long.


That was when it truly hit me: a mother gives until there’s nothing left to give — and even then, she still gives more. We, her children, came together that day. We decided to help her — to share the work, to ease her burden, to let her rest. Slowly, by Allah’s mercy, she regained her strength. And ever since then, I’ve looked at her not just as my mother, but as a living example of unconditional love.


Too often, people forget what women endure. Some men belittle their mothers, neglect their wives, and fail to care for the very people who stand behind their success. They spend their time and wealth elsewhere while the women in their homes carry the real weight in silence.


Ya Allah, bless my mother — grant her long life, strong health, a peaceful heart, and endless barakah. Reward her for every sleepless night, every tear she hid, and every prayer she made for us. Make her among the women of Jannah and forgive her shortcomings. 🀲


And bless every mother and wife who continues to sacrifice in quiet love. Reward them beyond measure, protect them, and grant them Jannatul Firdaus.


Say Ameen and drop a ❤️ for your mother — because no one will ever love you the way she does

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 Ω„َΩ‚َΨ―ۡ ΩƒَفَΨ±َ Ω±Ω„َّΨ°ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω‚َΨ§Ω„ُوٓΨ§ْ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ω‡ُوَ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ Ω±Ψ¨ۡΩ†ُ Ω…َΨ±ۡيَΩ…َۖ وَΩ‚َΨ§Ω„َ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ يَٰΨ¨َΩ†ِيٓ Ψ₯ِΨ³ۡΨ±َٰٓΨ‘ِΩŠΩ„َ Ω±ΨΉۡΨ¨ُΨ―ُواْ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ψ±َΨ¨ِّي وَΨ±َΨ¨َّΩƒُΩ…ۡۖ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّΩ‡ُΫ₯ Ω…َΩ† يُΨ΄ۡΨ±ِΩƒۡ Ψ¨ِΩ±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ِ فَΩ‚َΨ―ۡ Ψ­َΨ±َّΩ…َ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ُ ΨΉَΩ„َيۡΩ‡ِ Ω±Ω„ۡΨ¬َΩ†َّΨ©َ وَΩ…َΨ£ۡوَΩ‰ٰΩ‡ُ Ω±Ω„Ω†َّΨ§Ψ±ُۖ وَΩ…َΨ§ Ω„ِΩ„ΨΈَّٰΩ„ِΩ…ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω…ِΩ†ۡ Ψ£َΩ†Ψ΅َ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
