IN HIS HOME

 FAJR REMINDER: IN HIS HOME 

By: Umm Affān

Sha'bān 5, 1447 (24-January-2026)


In Islām, it's customary for a groom to present his bride with a gift known as "Mahr." This gift can vary widely based on what the man is able to offer, ranging from money, gold, to even something as simple as a piece of cloth.


We express gratitude to Allāh for the Blessing of Islām. By His Grace, we proceed with the biography of our esteemed mother, Ā’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). After his marriage to Ā’ishah, the Prophet (ﷺ) provided her with some gold and accommodated her in a room that was part of his mosque. In this special space, Angel Jibreel (‘Alayhi Salām) occasionally descended with divine revelations from Allāh.


The marriage between the Prophet (ﷺ) and Ā’ishah marks a significant chapter in his life following the passing of his first wife, Khadījah Bint Khuwaylid (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). The Prophet (ﷺ) conveyed this to Ā’ishah by sharing: “I saw you in a dream for three nights when an angel brought you to me in a silk cloth and he said: Here is your wife, and when I removed (the cloth) from your face, lo, it was yourself, so I said: If this is from Allah, let Him carry it out.” [Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim 2438]


Among all the Prophet’s (ﷺ) wives, Ā’ishah was unique as the only one who had never been married before. Renowned for her exceptional beauty and sharp intellect, Ā’ishah also possessed a remarkable memory. The blend of these attributes made her particularly remarkable.


It was well known that the Prophet (ﷺ) held deep feelings for her; he loved her profoundly. Anas narrated: “It was said: O Messenger of Allāh, which of the people is most beloved to you? He said: Āishah. It was asked, ‘And among men?’ He said: ‘Her father.’” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 101]


I earnestly beseech Allāh’s Special Mercy to be bestowed upon our mother, Ā’ishah. 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...
