COUPLES' RIGHTS TO EACH OTHER IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 28th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Thursday, 10th September, 2026.  *_COUPLES' RIGHTS TO EACH OTHER IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  This is a very important topic because Islam does not treat marriage merely as a relationship between a husband and wife; it is an ‘ibaadah (act of worship) and a covenant made before ALLAH Azzawajal. Therefore, the rights spouses have over one another are connected directly to their responsibilities towards ALLAH Azzawajal. So basically Marriage is a Commitment to ALLAH Azzawajal before It Is a Commitment to Each Other. Marriage in Islam is therefore an amaanah (trust). A husband and wife are not simply asking, “What can my spouse do for me?” They should also ask: “What has ALLAH Azzawajal COMMANDED me to do for my spouse?” The greatest responsibility is helping each other obey ALLAH Azzawajal. The husband and wife should be partners in righteousness not partners in crime towards abusing each other. AL...

WHEN FALSEHOOD FALLS BEFORE THE TRUTH

 FAJR REMINDER: WHEN FALSEHOOD FALLS BEFORE THE TRUTH By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 28, 1448 (10-September-2026) Fir’aun had challenged Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) to a contest, and the appointed day eventually arrived. It was a well-known day—the day of their festival—and the people had gathered in large numbers. Fir’aun sat upon his throne, surrounded by the elite officials of his kingdom, while his subjects stood on his right and his left. Then Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) came forward, leaning upon his stick and accompanied by his brother, Prophet Hārūn (‘Alayhi Salām). The magicians (sorcerers) stood before Fir’aun in rows, while he encouraged and urged them to do their very best on that day. They, too, were eager to please him, especially because he had promised them a reward. Allāh (ﷻ) reveals: فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ ۝ قَال نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ “So when the sorcerers ...

Cheapest Shortcut

 Cheapest Shortcut ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم The Prophet, Allah grant him blessings and peace, reportedly instructed us: "Heal your sick with sadaqah” 📚(Abu Dawud and others). This reminds me, Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah, a prominent and wealthy companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), once became seriously ill. The illness was severe and persistent. His mother was deeply distressed. While at his bedside, she made a vow (a Nadhr). She promised that if Allah cured her son, she would donate a large number of date-filled purses (a significant amount of wealth) specifically to provide water for the pilgrims in Mecca. By the grace of Allah (swt), Sa'd recovered from his illness. Sa'd mother, true to her word, took action. She had a large water cistern (a Saqiyah) built in Mecca and dedicated it to providing free, cool water to the thousands of pilgrims performing Hajj and Umrah, who often suffered from the intense desert heat. When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lea...

WASTING TIME IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST DANGERS IN LIFE

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 27th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 9th September, 2026. *_WASTING TIME IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST DANGERS IN LIFE_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue from yesterday's reminder in this serious topic; Imagine having an hour that could have contained Qur'an, dhikr, ṣalāh, seeking knowledge, helping someone, earning halal income, spending meaningful time with one's family or simply resting with the intention of gaining strength for worship. Instead, it disappears into something that produces neither worldly benefit nor reward through tiktok/ YouTube etc. Islam does not require us to be serious every minute of the day. Rest, recreation, family time, exercise and permissible enjoyment can all be beneficial. The question is: “What am I doing with this time, and what will I have to show for it?” Even ordinary activities can become acts of worship when accompanied by a good intention. Before opening an app, ask yourself: “Why am ...

THE GREAT CONTEST

 FAJR REMINDER: THE GREAT CONTEST By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 27, 1448 (9-September-2026) Prophet Mūsā and his brother Hārūn (‘Alayhimā Salām) went to meet Fir’aun and his chiefs. They first admonished him and called him to the truth. However, rather than accepting the Message of Allāh, Fir’aun responded with stubbornness, arrogance, and false arguments. He engaged Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) in a lengthy debate, attempting to reject and undermine the truth that had been brought to him. After Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) answered his questions, he showed Fir’aun and his chiefs the clear miracles and overwhelming proofs that Allāh had given him. These signs confirmed the truth of his Message: that Allāh is One and that His Commandments must be followed. Fir’aun and his chiefs witnessed these signs with their own eyes and recognized that they were indeed from Allāh. Yet, despite the clarity of what they saw, they still chose denial and rejection because of their evil, arrogance, an...

WASTING TIME IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST DANGERS IN LIFE

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum athalaatha | 26th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 8th September, 2026. *_WASTING TIME IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST DANGERS IN LIFE_*. BismilLah.  After Shaytaan, one of the greatest dangers to a Muslim is the careless wasting of the limited time ALLAH Azzawajal has given us. Shaytaan himself often uses wasted time as a doorway to greater sins and missed opportunities. ALLAH Azzawajal swears by time: وَالْعَصْرِ ۝ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ “By time! Indeed, mankind is truly in loss.” Qur’an 103:1–2. Notice that ALLAH Azzawajal did not merely say that people lose time. HE says the human being is in loss. Every moment that passes is part of our life that can never be recovered. Our life is nothing more than a collection of hours, days and years. When an hour disappears in something useless, a portion of our life has disappeared with it. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The feet of the son of Aadam will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he is ...

THE BROTHER WHO SHARED HIS MISSION

 FAJR REMINDER: THE BROTHER WHO SHARED HIS MISSION By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 26, 1448 (8-September-2026) It was said that Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) missed his homeland, Egypt, and his relatives. Therefore, he decided to return and visit them secretly, without the knowledge of Fir’aun and his people. So, he gathered his family and the flocks that his father-in-law had given him and set out on his journey on a cold, dark, and rainy night. Along the way, they stopped to camp. Whenever Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) attempted to kindle a fire, however, he was unable to do so. He was surprised by this, and while he was in that state, he saw a fire burning in the distance, in the direction of Ṭūr (i.e., Mount Ṭūr). Allāh (ﷻ) informs us that he said to his family: امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّي آتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ “Wait, I have seen a fire; perhaps I may bring to you from there some information, or a burning firebra...

For Brothers Only

 For Brothers Only ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My dear brother in Islam, Let us talk heart to heart, as brothers. You look at your wife and see her flaws. She is not perfect. She forgets things, she talks back, she spends too much. You feel tired. You feel like you made a mistake. But stop. Breathe. And think deeply. Allah (swt) did not make a mistake when He joined you with her. Before you got married, you made du'a. You asked Allah for a good wife. And Allah gave you a real, imperfect woman. Why? Because you are also imperfect. Yes! No man is perfect. No woman is perfect. So do not expect a perfect marriage. Every marriage has ups and downs. That is the test. Why are we here on earth then? We are here to be tested. Allah (swt) sent us down to see: will we be patient? Will we be kind? Will we be loving when it is hard? The reward for passing the test is Paradise. The punishment for failing is losing paradise. So see your wife’s difficult moments as a test from Allah ...

THE JOURNEY TO MADYAN (II)

 FAJR REMINDER: THE JOURNEY TO MADYAN (II) By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 25, 1448 (7-September-2026) When the two women whom Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) had helped returned home, their father was surprised that they had arrived so early. He asked them about the reason for their early return, and they informed him about Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) and what he had done for them. Thus, he sent one of his daughters to invite Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām). Allāh (ﷻ) says: فَجَاءَتْهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَمْشِي عَلَى اسْتِحْيَاءٍ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِي يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَا  “Then there came to him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: ‘Verily, my father calls you that he may reward you for having watered (our flocks) for us.’” [Sūrah Al-Qasas (28) Verse 25] This verse draws our attention to the fact that this righteous woman came to Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) “walking shyly,” showing that Ḥayā’ (modesty and shyness) is a beautiful quality that should be...

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN STEAL SOMETHING WE CAN NEVER RECOVER

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum al-ithnayn | 25th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Monday, 7th September, 2026.  *_SOCIAL MEDIA CAN STEAL SOMETHING WE CAN NEVER RECOVER_* ALLAH Azzawajal swears by time: “By time! Indeed, mankind is in loss…”Qur'an 103:1–2.  Think about this: A husband comes home from work. His wife wants to talk. The children want attention. But the phone says: "Just one more video." One video becomes ten. Ten minutes becomes an hour. Eventually, the husband and wife have spent the evening together without actually communicating. The tragedy is that social media does not send us a bill for the time it takes. But we will answer ALLAH for how we spent that time. The Prophet ﷺ said: “There are two blessings which many people do not appreciate: health and free time.” Imagine reaching old age and discovering that some of the moments you could have spent building your marriage and raising your children were spent scrolling through strangers' lives. To be c...

For Sisters Only

 For Sisters Only ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My dear sister in Islam, Let me tell you something straight from the heart. That man you call your husband—the one who sometimes makes you sad, who forgets your feelings, who is not perfect—please know this: Allah (swt) did not make a mistake when He joined you to him. You made du'a before marriage. You prayed for a good man. And still, you ended up with someone who has faults, maybe even someone who hurts you. Why? Because this life is not paradise. This life is a test. Allah (swt) brought us here to see: will we be patient? Will we hold on to Him when things are hard? The reward is not always here in this world. The real reward is waiting for you later—if you pass the test. Think about Asiya, may Allah be pleased with her. She was married to Pharaoh—the worst, most arrogant man who ever lived. He claimed to be God. He tortured her and her people. He was cruel and evil. But did Asiya run away? Did she give up on Allah? No...

THE JOURNEY TO MADYAN (I)

 FAJR REMINDER: THE JOURNEY TO MADYAN (I) By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 24, 1448 (6-September-2026) Fir’aun sent his people after Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām), intending to capture and kill him. However, before the messengers of Fir’aun could reach him, a man came running from the farthest end of the city to warn him. Allāh (ﷻ) informs us of what he said:  يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنَّ الْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَاخْرُجْ إِنِّي لَكَ مِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ “O Mūsā! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape. Truly, I am to you of those who give sincere advice.” [Sūrah Al-Qasas (28) Verse 20] Upon learning of their decision to kill him, Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) immediately left Egypt in a state of fear. As he departed, he sought Allāh’s Protection from Fir’aun and his chiefs, saying:  رَبِّ نَجِّنِي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ “My Lord! Save me from the people who are Ẓālimūn (polytheists and wrongdoers)!” [Sūrah Al-Qasas (28) Vers...

THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN OUR MARRIAGES AND FAMILIES_*. BismilLah.

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul ahad | 24th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Sunday, 6th September, 2026. *_THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN OUR MARRIAGES AND FAMILIES_*. BismilLah.  The sad and worrying reality of every Muslim home today is the danger of social media. It is quietly stealing our time, attention, affection and family relationships. The phone has becomes closer to us than the people ALLAH Azzawajal placed beside us. Social media itself is not necessarily haram. Like many tools, it can be used for good or evil. The danger begins when the phone controls us rather than us controlling it. A husband may sit beside his wife while his eyes are on his phone. A wife may be sitting beside her husband while scrolling endlessly. Parents may be physically present with their children but emotionally absent. Children may spend hours watching content that their parents would never allow into the home through the front door. And slowly, the home becomes a house where e...

THE WOMAN WHO ASKED

 FAJR REMINDER: THE WOMAN WHO ASKED By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 23, 1448 (5-September-2026) Let us talk about a woman whose biography is barely known to many Muslims—a woman whose name may not immediately come to mind when we think of the noble women who surrounded the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). Her name was Umm Sharīk Ghuzayyah Bint Jābir Ibn Ḥākim Ad-Dawsiyyah (Raḍiyallāhu ʿAnha). Although very little of her life has been preserved for us, what has reached us is enough to show that she was a woman who asked questions, narrated knowledge, and participated in Prophetic teaching. Umm Sharīk was a Companion who directly narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ). She reported that she consulted Allāh's Apostle (ﷺ) regarding the killing of geckos, and he commanded her to kill them. Umm Sharik is one of the women of Banī ‘Āmir Ibn Lu’ayy. [Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim 2237] This narration gives us a glimpse of her relationship with the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). She did not merely hear matters of religion; she soug...

WHAT WE SAY TO END THE ṢALĀH

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 23rd day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 5th September, 2026.  *_WHAT WE SAY TO END THE ṢALĀH_*. BismilLah.  After standing before ALLAH Azzawajal, bowing, prostrating, asking forgiveness, making the Tashahhud and renewing our testimony of faith, we conclude by spreading peace. We turn our head to the right and left to say: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh “Peace and the Mercy of ALLAH be upon you.” This is the established Sunnah of concluding the prayer with salām. As-Salām is also one of the beautiful Names of ALLAH Azzawajal. It carries the meaning of perfection and freedom from every defect, as well as peace and security. So when we say As-salāmu ʿalaykum, we are wishing peace, safety and well-being upon those praying with us including the Angels and Jinns even though we don't see them thats why we are required to still say it even if we are praying alone.. We are not simply sa...

GUARD YOUR VOICE: OH SISTERS

 *GUARD YOUR VOICE: OH SISTERS* Allah said in *Qur’an 33:32:* فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ ۖ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا “So do not be soft in speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved to desire; and speak in a manner that is appropriate.” ...and some of our noble scholars explain and support the principle, particularly regarding avoiding seductive softness, unnecessary familiarity, and inappropriate speech with non-maḥrams. 1. Imām al-Qurṭubī رحمه الله أمرهن الله أن يكون قولهن جزلاً وكلامهن فصلاً، ولا يكون على وجه يظهر في القلب علاقة بما يظهر عليه من اللين... And he further says: والمرأة تندب إذا خاطبت الأجانب... إلى الغلظة في القول، من غير رفع صوت، فإن المرأة مأمورة بخفض الكلام. Allah instructed women to speak firmly and clearly, rather than with softness that could create attraction. When speaking to non-maḥrams, the woman should avoid softness and speak appropriately without raising her voice. *Source:* al-Qurṭubī, Al-Jā...
