DO IT HONORABLY!

 FAJR REMINDER: DO IT HONORABLY!

By: Umm Affān

Ramaḍān 26, 1447 (15-March-2026)


There is no doubt that Ramaḍān is the Month of the Qur’ān, and we are greatly encouraged to recite it aplenty. Reciting the Qur’ān is among the greatest ways of remembering Allāh. Allāh says: “O you who believe! Remember Allāh with much remembrance.” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb (33): 41]


Engaging with the Speech of our Lord is a noble act. The superiority of Allāh’s Speech over all other speech is like the superiority of Allāh over His creation. Therefore, no one’s words should hold greater importance to us than the Speech of Allāh. After it, the most honored speech is that of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ).


However, an error that sometimes occurs is when a person neglects other forms of Adhkār (remembrance of Allāh), especially the Adhkār after each Ṣalāh (prayer) and the morning and evening Adhkār, simply because they are eager to complete the recitation of the Qur’ān a certain number of times. Some people truly fall into this practice. In their haste to finish their recitation, they even abandon making Du’ā‘ (supplication). By rushing to complete the Qur’ān, they unintentionally leave aside other important acts of worship that also deserve attention.


Therefore, we should strive to recite the Qur’ān and observe other Adhkār with sincerity, humility, and dignity. What we truly need is proper time management. We should plan our time wisely and give attention to what is both important and urgent. In addition, we should make an effort to seek and reflect upon the meanings of what we recite from the Qur’ān. Doing so makes the recitation more meaningful and enjoyable.


As Ramaḍān is quickly drawing to a close, let us strive to increase our good deeds and remain consistent in them. It would not be befitting if, after Ramaḍān, we were to abandon the Qur’ān altogether.


I beseech Allāh to please immensely bless us now and always. 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...
