FAJR REMINDER: DAJJĀL AND THE TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE

 FAJR REMINDER: DAJJĀL AND THE TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE

By: Umm Affan

Jumādā al-’Ūlā 30, 1447 (21-November-2025)


Knowledge is power! Indeed, individuals will be tested by Dajjāl through the knowledge he presents, which is fraught with deceit and falsehood. The term Dajjāl is from the verb “Dajala,” meaning to intentionally confuse and obfuscate matters. Consequently, Dajjāl becomes a title for the lying, one-eyed, false Masīḥ.


He is referred to as Dajjāl because he will conceal his Kufr (disbelief) from the people by employing lies, vague statements, deception, and confusion. This manipulation will be facilitated by the fact that many individuals during that time will be empty and worthless people, intellectually shallow, and lacking in opulence regarding intelligence. In fact, this reality is already evident today. It is truly disheartening and shameful to witness adult Muslims who struggle to recite Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah correctly.


We express our gratitude to Allāh for the gift of Islām. Islām is a religion that champions knowledge and truth, leaving no place for ignorance. The Prophet (ﷺ) guided us along a clear path, and only those who are doomed stray from it. He (ﷺ) ensured that no good was left unmentioned nor any evil unaddressed. However, how well-versed in knowledge are Muslims today?


Regarding the matter of Dajjāl, how many Muslims are even aware of him? Do they show any concern? There is clearly a misplacement of priorities! Remember, knowledge is light while ignorance is darkness. The Prophet (ﷺ) significantly encouraged us to pursue knowledge, stating: “Seeking knowledge (i.e., learning or finding out about Islām) is an OBLIGATION upon every Muslim.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 224]


Thus, you have no one to blame for your ignorance except yourself.


I beseech Allāh to rectify our affairs, grant us sound knowledge, and protect us from the trials of Dajjāl. 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...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
