PROTECTION AGAINST DAJJĀL (II)

 FAJR REMINDER: PROTECTION AGAINST DAJJĀL (II)

By: Umm ‘Affān

Jumādā al-Ākhirah 20, 1447 (12-December-2025)


It is crucial to always remember the need to seek Allāh’s Protection from the trials posed by Dajjāl. Abū Dardā’ (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever memorizes ten verses from the beginning of Sūrah Al‐Kahf will be protected from the Dajjāl” – referring to his Fitnah. In another narration, it is stated: “…From the last ten verses of Sūrah Al-Kahf.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 809]


Imām An‐Nawawī (Raḥimahullāh) elaborated on the above, stating: “The reason for this is because at the beginning of (this Sūrah), mention is made of wonders and signs, and whoever reflects on them will not be misled by the Fitnah of the Dajjāl. At the conclusion of this Sūrah, Allāh says: ‘Do then those who disbelieve think that they can take My slaves as Awliyā’ (lords etc.) besides Me?’ [Sūrah Al‐Kahf (18): 102] [Sharḥ an-Nawawī ‘alá Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 6/93]


Certainly, Sūrah Al‐Kahf holds significant importance. Therefore, every Muslim should make an effort to memorize and read it frequently, particularly on the best day, which is Friday.


Furthermore, it is essential to stay away from Dajjāl due to the confusion he will create and the extraordinary phenomena that will accompany him, which Allāh will allow to occur as a test for humanity. A person may approach Dajjāl, believing himself to be a staunch believer, only to end up following him. ‘Imrān Ibn Ḥusayn (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) instructed: “Whoever hears of the Dajjāl, let him keep far away from him, for a man will come to him and think that he is telling the truth because of the wonders that are sent with him.” [Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4319]


I sincerely ask Allāh to provide us refuge 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...

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...
