FAJR REMINDER: LIKE THE PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS…(II)

 FAJR REMINDER: LIKE THE PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS…(II)

By: Umm Affan

Jumādā al-’Ūlā 22, 1447 (13-November-2025)


Prophet Mūsā (also known as Moses – ‘Alayhi Salām) was indeed one of the esteemed Messengers of Allāh, and it is clear that he was a Muslim. He championed and advocated for Islāmic Monotheism, which emphasizes the worship of Allāh Alone. Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) conveyed to his people: “O my people! If you have believed in Allāh, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims (those who submit to Allāh's Will).” [Sūrah Yūnus (10): 84]


What can we say about ‘Eesa (‘Alayhi Salām)? Like the other Prophets, the essential aspects of his message encompass the necessity for man to recognize the exclusive sovereignty of God, which requires absolute servitude and obedience to Him alone. Allāh reveals that [‘Eesa (Jesus) said]: “And verily, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path.” [Sūrah Maryam (19): 36] Furthermore, Allāh states that the Disciples of ‘Eesa said to him (‘Alayhi Salām): “...we believe in Allāh, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allāh).” [Sūrah Aal-‘Imrān (3): 52]


Funnily, the Gospels in their current form do not provide as lucid a depiction of ‘Eesa’s (Jesus) message as that conveyed by the Qur'ān. Nevertheless, the idea that God is one and man must completely submit to Him is captured in the following Bible verses: “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve” [Matthew 4: 10] and “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” [Mark 12: 28-29]


As for Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), he was not different from other Prophets. Allāh states: “So unto this (religion of Islām, alone and this Qur'ān) then invite (people) (O Muḥammad ﷺ), and Istaqim [(i.e. stand firm and straight on Islāmic Monotheism by performing all that is ordained by Allāh (good deeds, etc.), and by abstaining from all that is forbidden by Allāh (sins and evil deeds, etc.)], as you are commanded, and follow not their desires...” [Sūrah Ash-Shūrā (42): 15]


Therefore, there is no differentiation between the missions of Mūsā, ‘Eesa, and Muḥammad (peace be upon them all). Those who assert that the missions of the Prophets differ and that their goals are varied have indeed fallen into grave error.


I sincerely beseech Allāh to safeguard our Eemān. 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...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
