TIME TO REFLECT!

 FAJR REMINDER: TIME TO REFLECT!

By: Umm Affān

Ramaḍān 29, 1447 (18-March-2026)


The blessed month of Ramaḍān is casting its shadow, it’ll soon leave. Fear grips the hearts of the true believers for the acceptance of their acts of worship therein and having the opportunity of witnessing another. 


With sincerity, devoutness and determination we started the month - to be cleansed and free from our past sins. It tests our patience and fills our hearts with light and our minds with delight. Active nights, full of Qiyām and supplications; constant morning and evening Adhkār (remembrance of Allāh); unmissed forenoon prayer; better relationship with the Qur'ān; and various acts of worship. Time is spent eschewing vain talks, yet we’re fine for we instead engage in things more exciting which bring the promise of eternal glee. O Muslims! Let’s reflect on how much we’ve benefitted and how we’ll keep up after it’s gone? How do we continue the good after Ramaḍān?


Truly, the Shayāṭīn will be unchained again but with the fear of Allāh we can stay unchanged. ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Amr Ibn ‘Al-As (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhuma) said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, O ‘Abdullāh! Do not be like so-and-so. He used to get up at night for optional prayers but abandoned it later.” [Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhārī 1152]


Seriously, nothing should stop of our Qiyām Al-Layl (Tahajjud); recitation of Qur'ān and its reflection; visitation to hospitals, prison yards and orphanage homes; and feeding the poor since they need us too in other months. We shouldn’t wait till another Ramaḍān. With Allāh’s Help, I believe we can keep up. 


I beseech Allāh to accept all our acts of worship and make us meet Ramaḍān again. 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...
