بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Marriage is a beautiful journey. It starts with love. But sometimes, that love can grow smaller. Many things can cause this. One of the biggest reasons is when we stop forgiving.

My People,

Allah (swt) loves those who choose to forgive. In the Quran, He describes good people as those "who restrain anger and who pardon the people" 📚(Qur'an 3:134). This is especially important in marriage.

A happy marriage is a union of two good forgivers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to "pardon whoever wrongs you." He said:

O Uqbah, reconcile whoever cuts you off, give to whoever deprives you, and pardon whoever wrongs you..." 📚Source: Musnad Ahmad 16999

The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“Whoever suffers an injury and forgives (the person responsible), Allah will raise his or her status to a higher degree and remove some sins committed by the one who forgives.” 📚(Tirmidhi)

My People,

You will live with your spouse for many years. In that time, you will both make mistakes and hurt each other's feelings. If you do not forgive, the hurt grows. Unforgiveness hurts your spouse, but it also hurts you.

Yes!

Sometimes we think forgiving means the wrong thing was okay. That is not true. Forgiving is not about the other person. It is about you.

(1) It is giving yourself permission to let go of the past pain.

(2) It is freeing yourself from the poison that keeps you stuck.

(3) It is choosing peace for your own heart.

My People,

You cannot always forget the hurt. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. But you can choose to let it go and move forward. Yes. Couples who practice forgiveness remove the toxic hurt that keeps them apart. It is the only way to move through unhappiness.

Sure!

It is normal to hurt each other in a long marriage. But choosing to forgive shows you still have goodwill for your partner. It shows you choose your marriage and your own peace.

So, talk to each other. Be brave. Let go of the old pains. Choose to forgive, not because your spouse always deserves it, but because you deserve peace, and your marriage deserves a chance to live and love again.

May Allah (swt) fill your hearts with forgiveness and your home with lasting peace. Ameen Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah.

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...
