ALLĀH IS WITH YOU!

 FAJR REMINDER: ALLĀH IS WITH YOU!

By: Umm Affān

Sha'bān 28, 1447 (16-February-2026)


Patience (Ṣabr) is not merely about enduring hardship; it is an intentional act of Eemān grounded in faith in Allāh’s Wisdom. In the Qur’ān, Allāh reassures the believers: “O you who believe, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient.” [Sūrah Al-Baqarah (2):153] This promise establishes patience as a pathway to attaining Allāh’s Companionship, Support, and Guidance, particularly during times when the heart feels overwhelmed and the future appears uncertain.


The lives of the Prophets vividly illustrate this truth. Prophet Ayyūb (ʿAlayhi Salām) faced prolonged illness, loss, and isolation, yet his patience never faltered into despair or complaints against Allāh. His supplications were filled with humility and hope, and Allāh praised him, stating: “Indeed, We found him patient. An excellent servant! Indeed, he was one who constantly turned back to Allāh.” [Sūrah Sad (38):44] His narrative serves as a reminder that patience does not postpone Allāh’s Mercy; rather, it readies the heart to receive it.


In the same vein, the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) experienced rejection, persecution, and profound personal loss, yet he remained unwavering. He taught the Ummah that patience is rewarded without measure, declaring: “No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allāh expiates some of his sins for that.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5642] This Ḥadīth transforms hardship into a means of purification and elevation rather than a sign of abandonment.


To be patient is to firmly believe that Allāh sees, knows, and is near. When trials persist and answers seem delayed, patience evolves into an act of worship that draws the servant closer to the Creator. Hold steadfastly to this promise: Allāh is with you, not only after the hardship but also amid it. And whoever Allāh stands with can never be truly alone.


I beseech Allāh to instill within our hearts true patience and firmly anchor us in trust in Him. 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...
