WORSHIPING WITH UNDERSTANDING

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaumul Jumuat, 23rd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Friday, 14th November, 2025. 

*_WORSHIPING WITH UNDERSTANDING_*. BismilLah.


Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week. Brothers and Sisters is Islaam, I hope no-one will take offence, and I mean no disrespect to anyone. But I have to say that too many of us do not appreciate the importance of understanding the meaning of our salaah, our du'ah and dhikr.


Most of us are quite satisfied to recite without knowing the meaning, without caring to learn the translations including myself. I’m sure ALLAH Azzawajal enjoys listening to us reciting HIS holy Words with such tremendous passion, with meticulous pronunciation of every haraf in tajweed. But, how much more will ALLAH Azzawajal not appreciate our efforts, if we actually knew what we are saying?  Imagine, we are speaking to ALLAH Azzawajal in the most elegant language of the Quran, our lips are moving and creating the most beautiful sounds, but our thoughts and our feelings are disconnected because we don’t really feel the full impact of what we are saying. We don’t really understand. And sadly, many of us make no real effort to understand. If only we could learn a few short suras in our own language. If only we could think about the meanings when we recite the Arabic, then we could put meaning and feeling into those beautiful and soul-stirring words. If we did this regularly and systematically, then the true power and influence of ALLAH’s sacred words will touch our hearts. And when this happens, it will change us, it will help us concentrate in our salaat, it will transform us from what we are to what ALLAH Azzawajal wants us to become. Please remember today is Friday. 


*_May ALLAH Azzawajal grant us the understanding of the Quran and keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. 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 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...
