Short Khutbah on Suurah al-Ikhlās

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaumul Jumuat, 28th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Friday, 19th December, 2025. *_Short Khutbah on Suurah al-Ikhlās_*. BismilLah. 


All praise is due to ALLAH Azzawajal. We praise HIM, we seek HIS help, and we seek HIS forgiveness. We seek refuge in ALLAH Azzawajal from the evil of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever ALLAH Azzawajal guides, none can misguide, and whomsoever HE leaves astray, none can guide. We all bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except ALLAH Azzawajal alone, and that Muhammad ﷺ is HIS servant and Messenger.


Dear brothers and sisters in Islaam,


ALLAH Azzawajal says:

> “Say to mankind: HE is ALLAH, the One. ALLAH, the Eternal Refuge. HE neither begets nor is born. And there is nothing comparable to HIM.” (QUR’AN 112:1–4).


This short suurah, only four verses, carries the foundation of our faith. It teaches us who ALLAH Azzawajal truly is.


ALLAH is ONE, not one among many, but One without partner, without equal, without rival. Our hearts should not be attached to anything the way they are attached to ALLAH Azzawajal. No person, no wealth, no position deserves the reliance that belongs only to HIM.


ALLAH is As-Ṣamad, the One we turn to in every need. When problems overwhelm us, when doors seem closed, when people disappoint us, remember: ALLAH never disappoints. Turn to HIM before turning to the creation.


ALLAH does not have children, nor was HE born. HE is eternal and perfect. This reminds us that everything we depend on in this world is temporary, but ALLAH remains forever.


And ALLAH says, “There is nothing comparable to HIM.” Whatever greatness we imagine, ALLAH is far greater. Whatever mercy we experience, ALLAH’S mercy is far more.


*_May ALLAH Azzawajal make us sincere in our belief, firm in our faith, and constant in remembering HIM_*. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal purify our hearts from shirk, hypocrisy, and doubt_*. *_We seek ALLAH Azzawajal to keep sending peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, and his companions_*. 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...
