ENDURING GRIEF AND HARDSHIP IN LIFE AS MUSLIMS

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-sabt, 24th day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Saturday, 15th November, 2025. 

*_ENDURING GRIEF AND HARDSHIP IN LIFE AS MUSLIMS_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem. 


In Qur'an chapter 2, verses 155-157, Allah subhanallahu ta’ala reminds us:

"Verily, ALLAH will test you with something of fear and hunger; some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere Who says when afflicted with calamity:

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhir raji-oon"

"To ALLAH we belong and to HIM is our return." They are those on whom (descend) blessings from ALLAH and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance."


From these verses, we can see that in a Muslim’s life, death, hardship, and suffering should never come as a complete surprise. In fact, ALLAH Azzawajal promises us some sort of difficulties as a certainty, somewhere during our lifetime. It is a test of our eeman, our faith in ALLAH Azzawajal, and we should not despair, because there are lessons to be learnt from every situation, especially from death of a relative such as when I witnessed with my father dying. To a true believer, good fortune and misfortune are merely two sides of the same coin of life. Although we do not welcome hardship, we know that even in the noonday of life, we live in the shadow of death; in the peak of our prosperity, we are just a few short paces away from poverty and in the prime of our good health, illness lurks in the shadows nearby. Let's always remember these verses and commit to saying Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal. 


*_We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to increase us in knowledge, wisdom, and patience to be able to handle HIS tests and trials on us_*. 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...

Take Free Drugs* [[-- Episode 9 --]]

 *Take Free Drugs* [[-- Episode 9 --]] ------------------ Ψ¨Ψ³Ω… Ψ§Ω„Ω„Ω‡ Ψ§Ω„Ψ±Ψ­Ω…Ψ§Ω† Ψ§Ω„Ψ±Ψ¬ΩŠΩ… We are all here for a short time. One day, we will leave this world and go back to Allah (swt). What will we bring to Allah? What kind of companion are we inviting to be visiting us in our graves? Music? Muslim Faithful, Our hearts are like a clean glass. But this world is dusty. Every day, dust gets in. The dust of bad thoughts, bad habits, backbiting, gossip, watching haram programs on TVs and small or big sins. This dust makes our hearts dirty. A dirty heart does not listen easily. When the heart is dirty, we find it hard to obey Allah. We do things we know we shouldn't. It feels like a struggle. But Allah did not leave us like this. He sent us a perfect cleaner for our hearts. That cleaner is the Qur'an. And Guess what? The best part of it is that, you don't even need to understand the Arabic words right now. Yes. Just read the Qur'an (at least 5 to 10 pages daily- minimum). Just liste...
