DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY PROFIT

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Ath-Thulāthā’ | 29th Day of Jumādā al-Ūlā, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 10th November 2026 DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR ĀKHIRAH FOR WORLDLY PROFIT بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Dear brothers and sisters, Ask yourselves: What is the benefit of earning money through activities that displease ALLAH Azzawajal? What is the value of increasing business profits while accumulating sins? What will we say to ALLAH Azzawajal when we stand before HIM on the Day of Judgement? Can wealth acquired through Haraam activities bring genuine Barakah into our lives? Remember that provision (Rizq) comes from ALLAH Azzawajal. We must never assume that abandoning Haraam earnings will deprive us of the provision ALLAH has destined for us. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that whoever abandons something for the sake of ALLAH, ALLAH will compensate them with something better. Therefore, let us refrain from selling alcohol and other prohibited products. We must also avoid transporting...

SMS FOR COUPLES

  SMS FOR COUPLES بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم My brother, my sister, read this message carefully. You must learn to accept your spouse for who they are. Indeed, one of the major causes of marital conflict is the habit of comparing one's husband or wife with Mr A or Mrs B whom one admires from a distance. Sometimes, we look at other people's marriages and assume that their spouses are more loving, caring, understanding and responsible than ours. We forget that we only see what they choose to show us, not necessarily what happens behind closed doors. Listen! By the time you get closer to those people you consider perfect and discover their own shortcomings, you may begin to appreciate the person you have at home. 😷 After all, nobody is entirely bad, just as nobody is entirely good. Every human being has strengths and weaknesses, including you and me. Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Qur'an: وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِۚ فَإِن كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكْرَهُوا۟ شَ...

THE BREAKDOWN OF MUSLIM FAMILIES

  FAJR REMINDER: THE BREAKDOWN OF MUSLIM FAMILIES Jumādā al-Ūlā 29, 1448 AH | Monday, 9 November 2026 Where Has Our Sense of Responsibility Gone? One of the growing concerns within Muslim communities today is the gradual erosion of family values and the increasing instability of Muslim households. Marital conflicts, rising divorce rates, domestic abuse, neglect in children's upbringing, irresponsible husbands, unappreciative wives, and unrealistic expectations fuelled by social media are increasingly challenging the foundations of many families. Sadly, some couples appear more concerned with asserting their rights than fulfilling their responsibilities. Others approach marriage as a competition in which one person must emerge victorious, rather than as a partnership founded upon love, mercy, sacrifice, cooperation, and mutual understanding. Why Are Our Homes Losing Their Stability? At the heart of this problem are weak religious commitment, selfishness, ineffective communica...

SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Ithnayn | 28th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Monday, 9th November, 2026. SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. One of the dangerous misconceptions among Muslims today is the belief that selling something Haraam becomes permissible simply because the buyer is a non-Muslim. Some Muslims argue: "I am not drinking the alcohol; I am only selling it. Besides, the person buying it is not a Muslim." However, Islam does not only prohibit Muslims from consuming what is Haraam; it also prohibits participating in, facilitating or financially benefiting from certain forbidden activities. ALLAH Azzawajal commands us not to cooperate in sin and transgression. ALLAH Azzawajal says: وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." (Qur'an 5:2). Selling alcohol, whether to a Muslim or a non-Muslim, directly facilitates the consumption an...

LETTER TO BROTHERS

  LETTER TO BROTHERS بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Religious leaders often preach patience, but rarely hold men accountable for emotional neglect within marriage. A neglected wife is frequently told to “make du‘ā” and remain patient, while the husband responsible for her emotional suffering is seldom challenged over his conduct or failure to fulfil his marital responsibilities. Furthermore, communities sometimes turn a blind eye, dismissing such situations with statements like “It is a private matter” or “She should be more patient.” Yet, as the saying goes, “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” Behind closed doors, many women carry emotional wounds and psychological scars that remain invisible to those around them. Dear Muslim brothers, Al-Qurṭubī (Raḥimahullāh) is reported to have said: “If you have power over your wife, then remember the Might of Allah; Allah’s Might is above every might. Therefore, no one should transgress against his wife, for Allah Almighty is ever w...

WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

  WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER? بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Allāh (SWT) asks a profound question in the Qur’ān: أَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ سَاجِدࣰا وَقَآئِمࣰا يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَيَرۡجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ “Is one who is devoutly obedient during the hours of the night, prostrating and standing in prayer, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, like one who does not?” [Qur’ān 39:9] The answer is clear: No! They are certainly not equal! Allāh knows how difficult it can be. He knows the struggle you face when leaving the comfort of your bed. He sees you battling physical exhaustion and sleepy eyes, striving to rise in the stillness of the night solely to worship Him. This is why Allāh praises those who stand in prayer during the night. Their devotion, sincerity and consciousness of the Hereafter distinguish them from those who remain heedless. My dear brothers and sisters, When you make Tahajjud a consistent part of your life, you demonstrate a rema...

THE CRISIS OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

  FAJR REMINDER: THE CRISIS OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Jumādā al-‘Ūlā 28, 1448 AH | 8 November 2026 Are We Truly Learning Islām or Merely Consuming Religious Content? One troubling trend in our time is the growing confusion between acquiring authentic religious knowledge and merely consuming religious content. Almost everyone with a social media account appears equipped to discuss religious matters. Many issue Fatāwā without the requisite knowledge or expertise, circulate unverified narrations without taking the time to authenticate them, interpret Qur'ān verses without adequate understanding, and criticise others readily while showing little commitment to rigorous learning. Some even feel more confident challenging established scholars based on brief video clips than addressing the gaps in their own knowledge. Interestingly, some attempt to justify their lack of qualifications by saying, “I am also a Muslim.” But does being a Muslim automatically confer scholarly...

COVERING THE FAULTS OF OTHERS: A PATH TO ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY.

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad | 27th day of Jumādā al-Awwal, 1448 AH | Sunday, 8th November, 2026. COVERING THE FAULTS OF OTHERS: A PATH TO ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY. Bismillāh. Assalāmu Alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh, dear brothers and sisters in Islam. One of the beautiful qualities of a true believer is the willingness to conceal the faults and shortcomings of others rather than expose, disgrace or humiliate them. Sometimes, we discover the mistakes of our spouses, relatives, friends, neighbours or fellow Muslims. What do we do? Do we rush to announce their shortcomings, spread their private affairs and damage their reputations? Remember, just as we would love ALLAH Azzawajal to conceal our own faults in this world and on the Day of Judgement, we should also learn to conceal the faults of others. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter." (Sahih Musli...

LET US PERFECT THE QUALITY OF OUR WORSHIP.

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-Sabt | 26th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 7th November, 2026. LET US PERFECT THE QUALITY OF OUR WORSHIP . Bismillaah. One of the greatest mistakes we can make is to concentrate on how much we worship ALLAH Azzawajal without paying sufficient attention to how well we worship HIM Azzawajal. We may pray many raka'ahs, recite numerous pages of the Noble Qur'an and engage in countless acts of worship, but the important question is: Are our hearts truly present in our worship? ALLAH Azzawajal says: قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۝ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ "Successful indeed are the believers: those who humble themselves in their prayers." (Qur'an 23:1–2). Brothers and sisters, let us remember that worship is not merely about the physical movements of our bodies; it is also about sincerity, humility, devotion and consciousness of ALLAH Azzawajal. Let us stop rushing through our Salah. Let us recite ...

ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES (CONTINUED).

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaumul Jumu‘ah | 25th Day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Friday, 6th November, 2026. ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES (CONTINUED). Bismillaah. Alhamdulillaah for granting us the opportunity to witness another blessed Friday, the best day of the week. Let us conclude our discussion on the topic above. 6. Give Sadaqah and Help Those in Need. Do not wait until you become wealthy before giving charity. Even a little charity, given sincerely for the sake of ALLAH AZZAWAJAL, carries enormous rewards. Remember, Sadaqah is not limited to monetary contributions. A kind word, helping someone, removing an obstacle from the road and even smiling at another Muslim can all be acts of charity. 7. Read the Qur'an and Practise Its Teachings. The Qur'an is a source of guidance, healing and mercy for those who believe. Do not make reading the Qur'an an occasional activity. Instead, develop a daily relationship with it. Read it,...

FAJR REMINDER: UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF ‘UMRAH (III)

  FAJR REMINDER: UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF ‘UMRAH (III) Jumādā al-‘Ūlā 26, 1448 AH | Friday, 6th November 2026 Alḥamdulillāh, we have come to the conclusion of this topic with the final ‘Umrah performed by the Prophet (ﷺ). (4) The ‘Umrah Accompanying the Farewell Ḥajj (10 AH) In the tenth year after the Hijrah, the Prophet (ﷺ) departed from Madīnah to perform his Farewell Ḥajj. This was the only Ḥajj he performed after the Hijrah. He entered into the state of Iḥrām for the pilgrimage, combining ‘Umrah and Ḥajj, an approach known as Ḥajj al-Qirān . Several important details are worth noting. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform a separate, independent ‘Umrah before his Farewell Ḥajj. Rather, his ‘Umrah was incorporated into the pilgrimage, combining both acts of worship. During this pilgrimage, the Prophet (ﷺ) taught the Muslims the rites of Ḥajj and delivered his renowned Farewell Sermon, emphasising fundamental principles of Islām, including the sanctity of life and...

THE STORY OF UBAYY IBN KA‘B (RA): THE POWER OF SENDING SALAWĀT UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ

  THE STORY OF UBAYY IBN KA‘B (RA): THE POWER OF SENDING SALAWĀT UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ THE BLESSED NIGHT OF JUMU‘AH AND THE VIRTUE OF SENDING SALAWĀT UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ. The night preceding Friday is a special time for Muslims. It begins immediately after sunset on Thursday and is known as Laylat al-Jumu‘ah (the night of Friday). It is an excellent opportunity to increase our remembrance of Allah SWT and, particularly, to send abundant blessings and salutations upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Therefore, let us prepare our hearts and engage our tongues in sending Salawāt upon the noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ, beginning from Thursday evening and continuing throughout Friday. One simple way of doing this is to recite: اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ Allahumma salli wa sallim 'ala Nabiyyina Muhammad. (O Allah, send Your blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.) WHY SHOULD WE DO THIS? Did you know that Allah ...

ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES CONTINUE.

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis | 24th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Thursday, 5th November, 2026. ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES CONTINUE. Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. 4. Be Kind to Your Parents and Maintain Family Ties. One of the greatest ways to earn the pleasure of ALLAH is by showing kindness to our parents and maintaining good relationships with our relatives. Even when family relationships become difficult, we should strive to avoid unnecessary hatred, arrogance, oppression, resentment, and the severing of family ties. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, let him maintain his ties of kinship." (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim). 5. Show Mercy to Others. If we desire the mercy of ALLAH, we must also learn to show mercy to HIS creation. We should forgive those who wrong us when appropriate, help those who are struggling, feed the hungry, visit the sick, show kindness to chil...

DO OR DIE AFFAIR

  DO OR DIE AFFAIR بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Sometimes, good and decent men and women experience difficulties in relationships, whether before or after marriage. Some remain unmarried despite their sincere efforts to find a life partner. Others experience repeated relationship breakups. A man may begin a relationship with a woman on good terms, only to suddenly withdraw without offering any explanation. Some people also experience repeated disappointments just when something good is about to happen in their lives. It may not necessarily concern marriage; it could be a job opportunity, a business venture, an academic achievement or another important aspiration. And then the heart cries: "Why me?" My brother, my sister, this is a question many people ask. Muslims ask it. People of other faiths ask it. Even those without religious beliefs ask it. We must reflect on this question because, when people cannot understand why certain difficulties keep occurring, t...

WHEN RELIGION BECOMES A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE

  FAJR REMINDER: WHEN RELIGION BECOMES A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE Jumādā al-‘Ūlā 25, 1448 AH | Thursday, 5th November 2026 Are We Muslims by Commitment or Convenience? One concerning trend among some Muslims today is the selective practice of Islām. Many accept the teachings that align with their personal interests but struggle to embrace those that demand sacrifice, patience, discipline or a change in lifestyle. Some may be regular in their Ṣalāh yet neglect their responsibilities towards others. Similarly, they may observe religious obligations when convenient but become uncomfortable when those obligations conflict with their personal desires. Unfortunately, some increasingly view religion as something to adjust to their personal preferences rather than a comprehensive way of life that demands sincere submission to Allāh. Yet, Islām calls for wholehearted commitment, not selective obedience. Allāh (ﷻ) warns: “O you who believe! Enter Islām completely and perfectly (by obeyin...

ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES (CONTINUED)

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum Arbi‘ā’ | 23rd Day of Jumādā al-Awwal, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 4th November, 2026. ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES (CONTINUED) بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ 2. Establishing Our Five Daily Ṣalāh on Time and in Congregation (Jamā‘ah). Never underestimate the importance of Ṣalāh. It is our direct connection with our Creator. We must never allow worldly responsibilities, businesses, work, or entertainment to distract us from observing our five daily prayers at their prescribed times. Muslim brothers should also strive to perform their obligatory prayers in congregation at the masjid whenever possible. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "And establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing." (Qur'an 29:45). 3. Constantly Repenting and Seeking ALLAH'S Forgiveness. We are human beings, and we all make mistakes. However, the best among us are those who recognise their shortcomings, sincere...

TWO MAJOR SINS WE OFTEN BELITTLE 🔺

  🔺 TWO MAJOR SINS WE OFTEN BELITTLE 🔺 By: Asma bint Shameem بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala gives us some very important instructions in Surah Al-Hujuraat. 🍃 He says: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, for indeed some suspicions are sins. And do not spy on one another." (Surah Al-Hujuraat 49:12) I am sure most of us have read this Aayah many, many times in our lives. But have we truly read it with the eyes of our hearts? Have we genuinely understood the command that the Lord of the heavens and the earth is giving us? Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala is addressing ME and YOU. He says: "O you who believe!" That includes you and me. So, pay attention! He then commands us: "AVOID SUSPICION... AND DO NOT SPY!" Our Creator and Master is commanding us to refrain from entertaining unfo...

ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum ath-Thulāthā’ | 22nd day of Jumādā al-Awwal, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 3rd November, 2026. ACTIONS THAT LEAD TO ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم One of the greatest things a Muslim should constantly seek in this life is not wealth, as many of us often do, fame, status or worldly comfort, but rather the MERCY, PLEASURE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH AZZAWAJAL. Why? Because when ALLAH'S MERCY is upon us, we have hope even in difficult times. When ALLAH Azzawajal blesses our lives, even little becomes sufficient. When ALLAH Azzawajal guides us, we find direction. And when ALLAH Azzawajal forgives us, we have hope for success in the Hereafter. ALLAH AZZAWAJAL says: وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ "And MY Mercy encompasses all things." (Qur'an 7:156). So, what actions can we take to seek ALLAH'S mercy and blessings in our daily lives? 1. Develop Taqwa (Consciousness of ALLAH). Be conscious of ALLAH Azzawa...

STORY OF A SISTER

  STORY OF A SISTER بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم I read about a Muslim woman who was reportedly suffering from severe spiritual difficulties. Her life became so challenging that she almost lost hope and even contemplated taking her own life. According to the account, powerful evil jinn were tormenting her. As a result, men avoided marrying her, she was dismissed from her job for no apparent reason, and even members of her own family found it difficult to be around her. She experienced several other painful challenges that she could hardly share with anyone. For over five years, she searched for a cure, travelling from one place to another, but nothing seemed to work. One day, she listened to an Islamic radio station where a speaker discussed the virtues of reciting Surah Al-Baqarah, the second chapter of the Noble Qur'an, for protection against Shaytan and spiritual harm. She decided to put this advice into practice with a sincere heart. She began reciting all 286 verses of Surah A...

ONE BEST CHOICE [[- Episode 11 -]]

  ONE BEST CHOICE [[- Episode 11 -]] بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A previously married woman often knows deep in her heart what she wants to do to make her new relationship better and stronger. She carries this wisdom like a quiet gift, something a woman who has never been married may not yet have experienced. Now, While children can serve as binding agents in first marriages (even troubled ones), stepchildren can sometimes become sources of tension in subsequent marriages. Children from previous marriages, if proper care is not taken, can make subsequent marriages even more complicated. Yes, the more children involved, the more complicated the responsibilities may become. Now, Problems Caused by Stepchildren No. 3: Financial Stress When many of us are searching for a life partner and considering marriage, particularly where stepchildren are involved, how many people actually take the time to discuss who will pay which bills?

PERMISSIBILITY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST CHOICE (II)

  FAJR REMINDER: PERMISSIBILITY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST CHOICE (II) By: Umm ‘Affān Jumādā al-Ūlā 22, 1448 AH | Monday, 2 November 2026 It is essential to understand that acknowledging the permissibility of marrying a chaste woman from the People of the Book is different from asserting that it is always the best option for every Muslim man in every situation. A permission granted by the Sharī‘ah does not necessarily mean that pursuing it is advisable in every circumstance. A discerning Muslim does not simply ask, “Is this lawful?” but also considers, “Will this choice safeguard my faith, strengthen my family, and help me fulfil my obligations to Allāh?” In Sūrah Al-Mā’idah, the permission granted by Allāh (ﷻ) specifically concerns chaste women from the People of the Book. This condition must not be taken lightly or reduced to superficial assessments based on appearance, nationality, or religious affiliation. Sound judgment must be exercised rather than relying on hopeful assump...

PERMISSIBILITY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST CHOICE (I)

  FAJR REMINDER: PERMISSIBILITY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST CHOICE (I) By: Umm ‘Affān Jumādā al-Ūlā 21, 1448 AH | Sunday, 1 November 2026 Is every permissible choice automatically the best choice? Just because Islām allows something, does that mean a Muslim should hastily pursue it without considering its implications? These are vital questions for every Muslim to reflect upon, particularly when making decisions that will affect their faith, family, and future generations. One area requiring such contemplation is the marriage of a Muslim man to a chaste woman from the People of the Book, namely Jewish or Christian women. Allāh (ﷻ) has permitted this, stating: “(Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock), n...

RECONCILIATION DOES NOT MEAN SACRIFICING OUR EEMAAN OR AQEEDAH.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum al-Ithnayn | 21st day of Jumādā al-Ūlā, 1448 AH | Monday, 2nd November, 2026. RECONCILIATION DOES NOT MEAN SACRIFICING OUR EEMAAN OR AQEEDAH. Bismillāh. Question: How Do I Distance Myself from Bad Friends or Relatives Without Displeasing ALLAH Azzawajal? This is a very important question because there is sometimes a misunderstanding among Muslims about reconciliation, maintaining family ties and protecting one's Eemaan. The answer is: NO. Islam does not require us to maintain close friendships or constant social relationships with people whose influence repeatedly weakens our Eemaan or encourages us towards disobedience to ALLAH Azzawajal. You can love someone, forgive them, respect them and maintain family ties without allowing them unrestricted access to your life. In fact, sometimes distancing ourselves from a particular friendship is an important step towards protecting our relationship with ALLAH Azzawajal. However, there is an important...

THE DANGER OF HATRED AND REFUSING TO RECONCILE

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaumul-Ahad | 20th day of Jumādā al-Ūlā, 1448 AH | Sunday, 1st November, 2026. THE CONCEPT OF IṢLĀḤ (RECONCILIATION) IN ISLAM: THE NEGLECTED DUTY CONTINUES . Bismillāh. THE DANGER OF HATRED AND REFUSING TO RECONCILE As Muslims, we must understand the spiritual danger of allowing hatred and enmity to remain in our hearts. The Messenger of ALLAH (Ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) taught in an authentic hadith recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 2565) that deeds are presented on Mondays and Thursdays, and that people who associate no partners with ALLAH Azzawajal may be forgiven, except those between whom there is enmity. Concerning such people, it is said that they should be left until they reconcile. SubḥānALLAH! This is a serious warning. We may be fasting. We may be reading the Qur'an, giving charity, praying at night and making du'a. Yet, we should be deeply concerned if we deliberately nurture hatred and refuse every reasonable opportunity to ma...

Muslim Faithful

  Muslim Faithful, Never underestimate the power of the Qur'an in your life. Make time for its recitation every day. Even if you can only manage five pages, remain consistent. Read Surah Al-Baqarah regularly, understand its message and endeavour to practise what Allah has revealed. Before going to bed, remember Allah, recite Ayatul Kursiyy, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah and the three Quls (Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas). Do not merely make the Qur'an a sound playing in your house; make its teachings a reality in your life. Remember, the Qur'an is not a replacement for medical treatment, nor should every difficulty be attributed to spiritual attacks. Seek appropriate treatment, make sincere du'a, practise authentic ruqyah and place your complete trust in Allah. And whenever life becomes difficult, never despair of Allah's mercy. Allah is Ash-Shaafi (The Healer). He alone grants healing, and He is capable of changing your circumstances in ways ...

ONE BEST CHOICE [[– Episode 10 –]]

  ONE BEST CHOICE [[– Episode 10 –]] بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A woman who has been married before has had the opportunity to learn from her past experiences. Deep in her heart, she understands what she wants to do differently to make her new relationship better, healthier, and stronger. She carries this wisdom as a quiet gift—something a woman who has never been married may not yet have acquired. Now, While children can sometimes serve as binding agents in first marriages, even troubled ones, stepchildren can sometimes become sources of tension and division in subsequent marriages. Children from previous marriages, if not properly managed, can make new marriages even more complicated. Indeed, the more children involved, the greater the potential for complications. Muslim Faithful, A child is a child, irrespective of whether you are the biological parent or stepparent. Now, Problems Caused by Stepchildren No. 3: Financial Stress When many of us consider marriage and begin se...
