A RECAP ABOUT BINT AL-ḤĀRITH

 FAJR REMINDER: A RECAP ABOUT BINT AL-ḤĀRITH

By: Umm Affān

Shawwāl 23, 1447 (11-April-2026)


She grew up as a princess in her father’s home and later became a queen in the household of her husband. More importantly, she was a sincere and courageous servant of Allāh. Through her marriage to the Prophet (ﷺ), she was elevated to the noble rank of being among the Mothers of the Believers. What a tremendous honor granted to our mother, Juwayriyah Bint Al-Ḥārith (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha)!


Her life was a shining example of devotion and righteousness. She passed away in the year 50 A.H at the age of sixty-five, and her funeral prayer was led by Marwān Ibn al-Ḥakam, who was the Governor of Madīnah at the time.


Juwayriyah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) was well known for her commitment to Ṣalāt (prayer), Sawm (fasting), and giving Ṣadaqah (charity). Like the other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ), she was remarkably generous. These are qualities every Muslim should strive to embody and uphold.


Indeed, prayer, fasting, and charity are among the greatest acts of worship. We are blessed to have the finest examples in the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhum). Allāh says (about the companions): “And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allāh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Ṣiddīqun (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!” [Sūrah An-Nisā' (4): 69]


I beseech Allāh to be pleased with Juwayriyah, to honor her final abode, and to grant her a lofty place of rest. 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...
