FAJR REMINDER: BELIEF IN THE DAY

 FAJR REMINDER: BELIEF IN THE DAY

By: Umm ‘Affān

Jumādā al-Ākhirah 15, 1447 (7-December-2025)


A fundamental aspect of being a true Muslim is the belief in the certainty of the Day of Judgment. Indeed, this belief forms an essential part of the articles of Faith in Islām. Therefore, we must await its arrival in a state of purity. The Prophet (ﷺ) has foretold a series of events that will serve as indicators on how we should prepare for this Day.


The emergence of certain minor signs has demonstrated that the Day is indeed approaching. Yet, the allure of this fleeting world has blinded many, preventing them from recognizing its imminent arrival. They pay little to no heed to the signs that lie directly before them; they may think the Day is far away, which is a grave error. Allāh states: “Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness.” [Sūrah Al-Anbiyā (21): 1]


It is crucial to be aware of both the minor and major signs leading up to this Day, as this knowledge may strengthen our Eemān (faith) and inspire us to increase our good deeds. Anas Ibn Mālik (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported: “I will narrate to you a Ḥadīth, and no one else will tell you about it after me. I heard Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) saying: From among the portents of the Hour are (the following): Religious knowledge will decrease [by the death of religious learned men]; Religious ignorance will prevail; There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse; Women will increase in number and men will decrease in number so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man.” [Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhārī 81]


Allāh Akbar! This Ḥadīth underscores certain signs that should remind us to prepare for the trials that lie ahead.


I beseech Allāh to protect us from all evil. 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...
