IN HIS LEFT HAND

 FAJR REMINDER: …IN HIS LEFT HAND

By: Umm Affān

Dhū al-Qa'dah 23, 1447 (11-May-2026)


According to Allāh’s Decree, the one destined for Hell will receive his Record in his left hand from behind his back while his hand is bent backwards. Allāh says: “But whoever is given his record behind his back, He will invoke (for his) destruction, And he shall enter a blazing fire, and made to taste its burning.” [Sūrah Al-Inshiqāq (84): 10-12]


In the worldly life, the disbeliever lived joyfully among his people, heedless of the consequences of his disbelief and evil deeds. He never feared the terrible future awaiting him nor reflected on what lay ahead. However, that temporary happiness will eventually turn into endless sorrow and regret. When he is handed his Record, overwhelming remorse will consume him. He will long for a death that is never followed by resurrection or life again, even though death had once been the thing he hated most in the world.


Allāh says: “But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: ‘I wish that I had not been given my Record! And that I had never known, how my Account is! I wish, would that it had been my end (death)! My wealth has not availed me; My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me! (It will be said): ‘Seize him and fetter him; Then throw him in the blazing fire. Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!” [Sūrah Al-Ḥāqqah (69): 25-32]


The wealth, status, and honour people boast about in this world will be of no benefit on that Day. None of these things will protect them from Allāh’s Punishment. It is mentioned that Ibn ‘Abbās (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhuma) and Ibn Jurayj (Raḥimahullāh) both said: “Each cubit will be the forearm’s length of an angel.” [Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr 69:32] Subḥānallāh! And the chain is seventy cubits long.


A humiliating punishment awaits the people of Hell. The angels appointed over Hell will be commanded to drag them away from the place of gathering, shackle them with iron collars around their necks, and cast them into the Fire. Hell is not something to joke about or take lightly.


I beseech Allāh to save us from it. 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...
