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 ...

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 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

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...
