Thinking of Today

 *Thinking of Today* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم A very wise man, Hassan al-Basri, once said: Life is only three days. Yesterday is gone forever. You cannot change it. Tomorrow you may never see. It is not promised to you. Today is all you have. This is your chance to do lots of good deeds. So, what will you do with your today and everyday? My People, Our greatest enemy is not outside of us. It is inside. Yes. And it is our sins. Sin is like a poison for our heart. Our heart is the engine of our body. If the engine is damaged, the whole body stops working. In fact, If you have ever wanted or tried to be reading the Qur'an everyday or praying Tahajjud everyday or giving sadaqah FREQUENTLY but you just cannot, then, there's a problem somewhere. Yes. This why, a man asked Ibn Mas'ud a question: "I cannot pray at night." Ibn Mas'ud gave a simple, frightening answer: *"Your sins have prevented you."* My People, Our sins make our heart weak ...

TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-BALAD (QUR'AN 90)_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum athalaatha, 12th day of Shaw'waal, 1447AH. Tuesday, 31st March, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-BALAD (QUR'AN 90)_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Alhamdulillah, In yesterday's reminder, we studied about the history and context of this suurah. Let's now start studying the meaning and brief Commentary of each verse.  1. لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ I (ALLAH) swear by this city (Makkah). Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal swears by Makkah, a place of honor and sacredness, to draw attention to an important truth. This also comforts the Prophet ﷺ despite hardship, this city holds great significance. 2. وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ And you (O Prophet) are free (of restriction) in this city. Commentary: Despite Makkah’s sanctity, the Prophet ﷺ was being harmed there. This shows how people can violate even sacred boundaries when they reject truth. 3. وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ And (by) the parent and what he has born. Commentary: This refers to mankind t...

TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-BALAD (QUR'AN 90)_*. BismilLah.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum al-ithnayn, 11th day of Shaw'waal, 1447AH. Monday, 30th March, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-BALAD (QUR'AN 90)_*. BismilLah.  Context / Background of the Suurah: This Suurah was revealed in Makkah, revealed during a time when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was facing severe opposition, hardship, and persecution in Makkah. ALLAH Azzawajal begins by honoring Makkah, the sacred city. The suurah addresses the struggles of human life, especially the resistance of arrogant people who refuse truth. It highlights the contrast between: Those who choose ease, selfishness, and arrogance And those who take the difficult path of righteousness and sacrifice. It reminds us that life itself is a test full of struggle, and true success lies in choosing the harder but righteous path. Life was never meant to be easy. But true success is in choosing the hard path that pleases ALLAH Azzawajal. The “steep path” is: Feeding the hungry, Caring for orphans & th...

THE FIRST TO ENTER PARADISE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE FIRST TO ENTER PARADISE By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 11, 1447 (30-March-2026) Let’s reflect on Jannah (Paradise). It is a place of perfect bliss and an everlasting abode in the Hereafter—a great reward prepared for the believers. Allāh says: “Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is a great success.” [Sūrah Al-Burūj (85): 11] Regarding entry into Jannah, the very first to be admitted will be Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). Anas Ibn Mālik (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “I will come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, and would seek its opening. The keeper would say, ‘Who are you?’ I would say, ‘Muhammad.’ He would then say: ‘It is for you that I have been ordered, and not to open it for anyone before you.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 197] Furthermore, the Ummah of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), those who believe in him and do righteous deeds from the beginning of his messa...

Kill Ur Enemies

 *Kill Ur Enemies* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine you have a shield. This shield is not made of metal. It is made of light and peace. It is a shield that protects you from every bad thing and evil creatures. This shield is the Tahajjud prayer. Tahajjud is the prayer you do in the night, when everyone is asleep. When the world is dark and quiet, you are awake, talking to the One who created you. And for engaging in Tahajjud prayer consistently without missing, Allah (swt) gives you a amazing prize. This prize is total protection. Protection from your enemies, from the evil eye, and from jealousy. Why is this shield so strong? Because Allah (swt) loves those who pray Tahajjud consistently without missing. Think about that. The King of all Kings, the Most Powerful, loves you. And when HE loves you, HE becomes your Guardian. When Allah protects you, no one can harm you. No one!. Yes. You will see the proof in your life: (1) The bad plans people make for you will fai...

How Far so Far?

 *How Far so Far?* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *"I will start next week, I will start next two weeks, I will fast sitta-shawwal when shawwal remain one week to end"* - This is how SHAYTAN will be DECEIVING or tricking BILLIONS of Muslims who have intentions to fast sitta-shawwal, and before you know it, the month of shawwal have ended. Servants of Allah! Women & men who have intentions to fast 6 days in the month of shawwal and have missed days in this year Ramadan fast should have started paying the missed fast, then, start sitta-shawwal. Some people have started their sitta-,shawwal. Infact, countless Muslims have even finished. Yes. And some people will start tomorrow - In Shaa Allah. When will you start yours? I'm advising that you start your 6days fast in this month (sitta-shawwal) immediately before your body system get used to eating & drinking during the day. Yes. This will make the fasting easier for you. My People! The Prophet (pbuh) is rep...

A Letter for You*

 *A Letter for You* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Today is Friday. But did you know that in the sight of Allah, this day has another name? Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that this day is called Yawmul Mazid—which means the Day of Extra Increases. Yes! This is the day when Allah (swt) gives extra blessings, extra mercy, and extra rewards. It is a special market day. But it is not a market for buying food or clothes. No. It is a market for shopping for your Hereafter—the life that will begin immediately the moment you are placed in your grave. So today, as you go about your business, remember: you have a chance to buy something that will never spoil, never finish, and will light your way in the darkness of the grave. My People, Listen carefully. Whether the economy is hard or soft, there is something we must never ignore. Look at our houses. When something is spoiled in our house, we fix it. When something is needed for the smooth running of our home, ...

SPENDING FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE

 FAJR REMINDER: SPENDING FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 10, 1447 (29-March-2026) The fourth of the four acts through which we can attain Allāh’s Love—mentioned in the Ḥadīth of Mu’ādh Ibn Jabal (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu)—is SPENDING ON ONE ANOTHER FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE. Allāh, out of His immense Mercy, has made it binding upon Himself to love those who give to others purely for His Sake. This kind of spending is not just about giving, it reflects true generosity and sincerity. It is when a person gives selflessly, seeking nothing in return—not praise, not recognition, but only the Pleasure of Allāh. Such giving nurtures compassion within the heart and strengthens the bond within the community. Allāh describes the righteous (Al-Abrār), who feed the needy, the orphan, and the captive, (whenever they feed them) they intend: “We feed you seeking Allāh's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.” [Sūrah Al-Insān (76): 9] When a person gives with such pure intention, it n...

VISITING ONE ANOTHER FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE

 FAJR REMINDER: VISITING ONE ANOTHER FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 7, 1447 (26-March-2026) In continuation of our discussion on the four actions through which one attains Allāh’s Love—as mentioned by the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Ḥadīth of Mu’ādh Ibn Jabal (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu)—we now turn to the third: VISITING ONE ANOTHER FOR THE SAKE OF ALLĀH. This noble act holds a special place in Islām. Allāh has made it binding upon Himself to love the one who visits another purely for His Sake—free from worldly motives such as business interests or personal gain. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “A man set out to visit his brother from another town and Allāh sent an Angel to him. When the man met the Angel, he was asked, ‘Where are you going?’ The man said, ‘I am visiting my brother in this town.’ The Angel said, ‘Are you returning a favor?’ He said, ‘No, only that I love him for the Sake of Allāh, the Exalted.’ The Angel said, ‘I am a messenge...

TAFSEER OF SUURAH ASH-SHAMS (Qur’an 91), WITH SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR OUR DAILY LIFE_*. BismilLah.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Arba'a, 6th day of Shaw'waal, 1447AH. TAFSEER OF SUURAH ASH-SHAMS (Qur’an 91), WITH SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR OUR DAILY LIFE_*. BismilLah.  This suurah was revealed in Makkah during a time when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was calling people to Tawheed (belief in One GOD) and moral accountability.  This suurah focuses on: 1. The purification of our soul. 2. The struggle between good and evil within الإنسان (the human being). A powerful historical example is the people of Thamud who rejected their Prophet Swalih (عليه السلام). 👉 The Quraysh were denying the truth, so ALLAH reminds them: Just as past nations were destroyed for corruption of their souls. Every person is responsible for purifying their own soul. This suurah is a powerful reminder that we are responsible for our soul, we either elevate it… or destroy it. To be continued tomorrow with the meanings and commentary of each verse in Shaa ALLAH.  *_May ALLAH Azzawajal p...

Khalid & Scorpion

 *Khalid & Scorpion* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Every single day, we fight sleep, fight tiredness. We do it for an appointment with someone - maybe for a job, a flight or for business. We do this even with a headache, fever, and even when our body begs for rest. We do not complain. Why? Because that appointment is important to us. Now, Answer this: What is more important than an appointment with the King of all Kings? The Owner of the Heavens and the Earth? Let me tell you a true story about a man who understood this. Five years ago, A man called Khalid travelled to a village far from the city. At night, a very big scorpion stung him. The pain was terrible. There was no hospital. No doctor. He had to find herbal medicine in another village. That night, the pain was so strong he could not sleep. His body was on fire. But when the time for Tahajjud came, he moved. He made dry ablution. He could not stand, so he sat down. In great pain, he prayed two rakaats. He ma...

SITTING TOGETHER FOR HIS SAKE

 FAJR REMINDER: SITTING TOGETHER FOR HIS SAKE By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 6, 1447 (25-March-2026) A few days ago, I mentioned a Ḥadīth in which the Prophet (ﷺ) highlighted four actions through which a servant can attain the Love of Allāh. I have already discussed the first, and today I will focus on the second: SITTING TOGETHER FOR ALLĀH’S SAKE. Indeed, Allāh’s Love is guaranteed for those who gather solely for His Sake—not for business dealings, political discussions, social engagements, idle talk, or worldly chatter. Rather, their coming together is driven by a sincere desire to please Him. Allāh says: “There is no good in most of their secret talks save (in) him who orders Ṣadaqah (charity in Allāh’s Cause), or Ma’rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allāh has ordained), or conciliation between mankind, and he who does this, seeking the good Pleasure of Allāh, We shall give him a great reward.” [Sūrah An-Nisā‘ (4): 114] Sitting together for Allāh’s Sake m...

BismilLah. Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Layl, Qur’an 92.  Verse 17 وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى But the most righteous will be kept away from it. Commentary: Those who fear ALLAH Azzawajal and live righteously will be saved. Verse 18 الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ The one who gives his wealth to purify himself. Commentary: Charity purifies both wealth and the heart. Let's Increase Sadaqah and feeding the poor. Verse 19 وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ And not to repay someone’s favor. Commentary: The righteous give purely for ALLAH Azzawajal, not for recognition. Verse 20 إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ But only seeking the Face of his Lord, the Most High.

In a time where many women are taught to chase comfort over character…

 In a time where many women are taught to chase comfort over character… My sister's Remember this: You are not just choosing a husband, you are choosing the man your children will call Baba or Abū. The one whose voice will calm their خوف, whose hands will protect their innocence, whose character will shape their future. So don’t be blinded by sweet words or temporary feelings…Look deeper. Choose the one who fears Allāh in how he treats you, because that same fear will guide how he raises your children. Choose the one whose قلب is soft with mercy, firm upon truth, and حاضر when it matters most. Because one day, your children will not ask how much he had…They will feel who he was. May Allāh ﷻ grant you a spouse who sees your worth when the world overlooks you, who protects your heart when it’s tired, and who brings you closer to Him, not further away. Ya Allāh, for every soul waiting in silence, ease their loneliness, replace their worries with sakīnah, and write for them a love that...

Habibi don’t be afraid of poverty when it comes to marriage

 Habibi don’t be afraid of poverty when it comes to marriage. “إن يكونوا فقراء يغنهم الله من فضله” If they are poor, Allah will enrich them from His فضل… How many people delay marriage, not because they are not ready in faith or character, but because they fear provision? As if رزق is in their hands… as if wealth is guaranteed by waiting. al-Qurtubi reminded us clearly: do not hold back from marriage due to poverty, whether from the man or the woman. If they are poor, Allah will grant them independence from His bounty. This is not just advice. It is a promise. A promise for those who marry seeking Allah’s pleasure…A promise for those trying to protect their hearts from sin…A promise for those who choose halal over fear. Marriage is not built on money. It is built on sakīnah, on respect when things are hard, on patience when provision is tight, on love that grows through struggle, and on kindness that doesn’t wait for wealth. Sometimes, what you’re afraid of losing… is exactly what ...

Can I COMBINE the niyyah of fasting the six days of Shawwaal with my days that I owe from Ramadhaan?

 🌸 *What to Do Series*🌸 by Asma bint Shameem   ❓*QUESTION*❓ *Can I COMBINE the niyyah of fasting the six days of Shawwaal with my days that I owe from Ramadhaan?* 🌿*ANSWER*🌿 There’s a difference of opinion among the scholars about this issue  But the *stronger* scholarly opinion is that you cannot combine the intention of fasting the six days of Shawwaal with the missed days of Ramadhaan.  Rather you must first make up the missed days of fasting of Ramadhaan THEN fast the six days of Shawwaal.  That's because these Shawwaal fasts are SPECIFIC and CONNECTED to the fasts of Ramadhaan.  *And one cannot combine those ibaadaat that are “specific” or “connected” to each other*  For example, if someone wants to pray two rak’aat at the time of Fajr with the intention to combine the two Sunnah with the two Fardh, obviously that's not valid.  That's because the Sunnah of Fajr is “specific”and “directly connected” to the Fardh of Fajr, and cannot ta...
