TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79)

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 9th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Thursday, 23rd July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79)_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our Qur’an studies from Qur’an 79, suurah An-Naazi'aat verses 1-5 which speaks about Oaths by the Angels carrying out ALLAH'S commands. Historical Context of the Sūrah. suurah An-Naazi'aat was revealed in Makkah during the early period of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ mission . At that time, the Quraysh strongly denied the Resurrection, mocked the Hereafter, and rejected the Prophet's message. The suurah begins with a series of solemn oaths by ALLAH Azzawajal. These oaths draw attention to the unseen world, particularly the Angels responsible for carrying out ALLAH’S commands, especially concerning the taking of souls and managing the affairs of creation. The opening verses emphasize that the Resurrection is certain and that every soul will eventually meet its Creator. Verse 1 وَٱلنَّازِع...

BEWARE OF DEFAMING THE PROPHETS

 FAJR REMINDER: BEWARE OF DEFAMING THE PROPHETS By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 8, 1448 (23-July-2026) The fourth category of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DEFAMATION OF THE PROPHETS, which includes rejecting any of Allāh’s Prophets and Messengers or speaking against their honour, truthfulness, or noble character. Since belief in all the Prophets and Messengers is one of the pillars of Eemān, denying or insulting any of them nullifies one’s Islām and Eemān. Among the forms of this nullifier are the following: • Denying any of the Messengers whom Allāh sent before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), or rejecting the authentic accounts of them, their nations, or their messages as reported in the Qur'ān or in the authentic Aḥadīth of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And whosoever disbelieves in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away.” [Sūrah An-Nisā' (4): 136] • Rejecting the Messengership of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). The testimony...

THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SHAYTAN: TO MAKE YOU DIE UPON KUFR

 *THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SHAYTAN: TO MAKE YOU DIE UPON KUFR* Shaytan is patient. He has only one mission:   *"O son of Adam, I will not leave you until I make you die upon disbelief."* He doesn’t attack everyone the same way. He studies you first. *1. HIS STRATEGY: START SMALL, END IN KUFR* Shaytan is a strategist. He moves in steps. *Example 1: Music Addiction*   It starts with: "Just one song to relax"   Then: Playlists all day. Headphones in Salah time.   Then: You can’t sleep without music.   Then: Music in the car, music while cooking, music over Quran.   *The end:* A person dies in an accident with earphones on, or on the hospital bed singing a chorus instead of saying _La ilaha illallah_.   Nauzubillah. That was the plan all along. *Example 2: Desires & Relationships*   It starts with: "Just chatting"   Then: Haram relationship.   Then: Zina becomes normal.   Then:...

RAISING CHILDREN UPON MURĀQABAH (Knowing Allah Is Always Watching)*

 *RAISING CHILDREN UPON MURĀQABAH (Knowing Allah Is Always Watching)* One of the greatest ways to nurture a child is to teach them that Allah is always watching them. Do not make yourself the center of their obedience by saying, "I'm watching you." Instead, connect their hearts to Allah. Teach them that..... "My dear child, pray your salaah and stay away from what Allah has forbidden, because Allah sees you wherever you are.  Nothing is hidden from Him - Even if a deed is as small as a mustard seed and is hidden inside a huge rock, or in the heavens, or deep within the earth, Allah will bring it forth on the Day of Judgment. So always fear Allah and remember that He is watching you." When a child grows up knowing that Allah sees them at all times, not only when their parents are present. they develop sincerity, honesty, and taqwā. Allah says: "O my son! Indeed, if it should be the weight of a mustard seed and should be within a rock or anywhere in the heave...

Women-in Islam*🌸

 *Women-in Islam*🌸 In Islam, a woman is honored. Allah created men and women from one soul and made them equal in humanity and in reward. "Whoever does righteousness, male or female, while a believer  We will give them a good life" An-Nahl 16:97. What matters to Allah is taqwa, not gender. The Prophet ﷺ raised the status of women. He said: "The best of you are best to their women"and "Paradise is under the feet of mothers".  He taught women, gave them rights to knowledge, wealth and inheritance. The Sahābiyāt like Khadijah and Aisha were businesswomen, scholars and teachers. The Salaf guarded women with hijab and hayaa, not to oppress, but to protect their honor. For them a woman’s strength was her deen, her home, and raising generations. So a woman in Islam is not weak. She is a servant of Allah with rights, knowledge and great reward. Her value is in iman, not in imitating men. May Allah make us like the believing women of the Qur’an and Sunnah  _Umm Ay...

Significance of Dreams in Islaam

 🌷*Significance of Dreams in Islaam*🌷 by Asma bint Shameem  Dreams can be of three kinds:  1️⃣ *The good dream*- that’s from Allaah  🍃Ibn ‘Abbaas Radhi Allaahu anhu said:  “The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ drew back the curtain and the people were lined up in rows behind Abu Bakr.  He said: “O people, there is nothing left of the glad tidings of Prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or that is seen for him.” (Saheeh Muslim 479)    2️⃣ *The bad dream* - the nightmares, the ones you worry about- that’s from the Shaytaan. 3️⃣ *The thoughts that we’ve been thinking about* - that’s from the person’s own subconscious mind.  So for example, if we’ve been cooking all day and preparing for a special dinner, we might dream about it too.  Or a student studying hard might dream of himself taking an exam etc.  🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said: “Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan.”  (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 🍃 Shay...

CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 8th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 22nd July, 2026. *_CONSISTENCY IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFTER DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh. A kind clarification: to those who know me personally, especially regarding my ongoing divorce topic. Please know that my Islamic reminders are never based on my personal experiences or directed at anyone. I simply share whatever beneficial topic comes to mind. If a reminder happens to relate to someone's situation, it is purely coincidental. ALLAH (عز وجل) is my Witness that I never intend to target or indirectly address anyone. Back to our topic... One of the greatest responsibilities that remains after divorce is the father's continuous financial support for his children. Divorce ends the marital relationship, but it never ends a father's obligation towards his children.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: "Mothers may breastfeed their children f...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (III) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 7, 1448 (22-July-2026) Another aspect of denying Allāh’s Perfect Names and Attributes is to ascribe to others an Attribute that belongs exclusively to Him. Among these exclusive Attributes is the knowledge of the Ghayb (the unseen or hidden). This is a quality that no one possesses except Allāh. He (ﷻ) says: “And with Him are the keys to the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record.” [Sūrah Al-An’ām (6): 59] The knowledge of the unseen is one of the matters that Allāh has reserved for Himself alone. However, out of His Wisdom, He may reveal whatever portion of it He wills to His chosen Messengers through Revelation. This is not because they possess independent knowledge of the unseen, but be...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (II) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 6, 1448 (21-July-2026) The true reality of Allāh’s Attributes is beyond the complete comprehension of the human mind. We affirm them according to their apparent meanings in a manner that befits His Majesty, while leaving the knowledge of their exact reality to Allāh Alone. It is a grave error and a form of misguidance to divert the words that Allāh used to describe His Attributes from their established meanings in the Arabic language to obscure or unintended interpretations. For example, Allāh (ﷻ) says: “The Most Beneficent (Allāh) Istawā (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).” [Sūrah Ta-Ha (20): 5]  It is incorrect to reinterpret Istawā (meaning ascension) as Istīlā' (meaning to take over). Shaykh Muḥammad ‘Amīn Ash-Shanqītī (Raḥimahullāh) said: “This type of interpretation of the Divine Attributes is a form of distortion.” [Minhāj wa Dirāsāt li Ayāt al-Asmā' wa aṣ-Ṣ...

DOES THE WIFE HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum athalaatha | 7th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 21st July, 2026. *_DOES THE WIFE HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE_*?. BismilLah.  The wife has a right to: Any unpaid mahr (dowry) regardless of how the marriage ended. Maintenance during her ʿiddah time. Payment for breastfeeding, if she breastfeeds after divorce. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "If they breastfeed your children for you, then give them their payment." (Qur'an 65:6). She does not automatically have a right to: Ongoing financial support simply because she is divorced (after the end of her ʿiddah, unless she is pregnant, in which case maintenance continues until delivery) and continues during breastfeeding and child's maintenance.  The Father's Responsibilities Continue even after divorce if children are involved. The father must continue to provide for his children through her. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...Upon the father is the mothers' provision and thei...

AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (I)

 FAJR REMINDER: AFFIRMING ALLĀH’S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES (I) By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 5, 1448 (20-July-2026) The third category of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DENIAL OF SOME OR ALL OF ALLĀH’S NAMES OR HIS ATTRIBUTES. Allāh has affirmed for Himself many beautiful Names and perfect Attributes in the Noble Qur'ān and through the authentic Aḥadīth of His Messenger (ﷺ). Among these are His Knowledge, Strength, Power, Glory, Greatness, Will, Desire, Intent, Pleasure, Displeasure, Hearing, Sight, Speech, Mercy, Watchfulness, Face, Hands, Leg, His Establishment over His Throne or His Transcendence over it, His Descent to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, and many others. A true believer must affirm all of these Names and Attributes as they have been revealed, while believing that they are unique to Allāh’s Majesty and Perfection and bear no resemblance to the attributes of His creation. They are neither comparable nor similar in any way. As Allāh (ﷻ) says: “…There is ...

CAN THE WIFE SEEK COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE AND CAN SHE KEEP THE CHILDREN IF SHE WISH?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum al-ithnayn | 6th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Monday, 20th July, 2026. *_CAN THE WIFE SEEK COMPENSATION AFTER THE DIVORCE AND CAN SHE KEEP THE CHILDREN IF SHE WISH?_*. BismilLah.  First of all, it's important to note that, if you claim to be Muslim then you must abide by the complete rules of Islam or Shariah without any BUT OR WHY unless if you only wanted to be educated.  The issues of child custody and financial compensation after divorce are treated separately in Islamic law. The guiding principles are the best interests of the child, justice, and the rights that ALLAH Azzawajal has assigned to each party. 1. Who Has the Right to Keep the Children? In general, the mother has the strongest right to physical custody of young children, provided she is: A practicing Muslim. Of sound mind, Trustworthy and able to care for the child, Not placing the children in harm etc. The father, however, remains responsible for the child's financial maintena...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 5--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 5--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My Brother, My Sister! This is not just a story. This is for you, right now. Let us think about two simple but huge truths. *Truth No 1: Your Life is Already Written.* Your provision (your Rizq) – your food, your money, your job, your spouse – and everything that will happen to you, was written by Allah (swt) even before you were born. So, no matter what happens, you will always receive the Rizq that Allah has destined for you. Yes. You will not get less, and you will not get more. It is fixed. But wait! Does this mean making Du'a (duplication to Allah) is useless? No. Not at all. This is the beautiful secret. Your provisions and the Du'a you make are both part of Allah's plan (Qadr). Allah (swt), in His perfect knowledge, has written: "If My servant asks Me for this thing, I will give it to him. And if he does not ask Me, I will not give it to him." So, you see? The Du'a you ma...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 4--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 4--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) put Prophet Adam (A.S.) and his wife in Paradise. Shaytan came and whispered a lie. He said, “Eat this fruit, and you will live here forever.” Adam listened to that whisper and ate it. What happened? Allah (swt) did not let them stay forever. They had to leave Paradise and come down to Earth. This shows us one big truth: *Shaytan’s promises are always lies.* He promises good things, but the result is always loss. Shaytan is still doing the same trick with us. When he wants you to do something wrong, he will put sweet lies in your heart, such as: (1) “Do it, nobody is watching you.” (It's a Lie: Allah (swt) is always watching). (2) “Don’t worry, Allah (swt) is most forgiving, so just do it.” (It's a Lie: Allah forgives those who repent before they do wrong, not those who use His mercy as an excuse to sin). (3) “Go to fortune-tellers or use charms to fix your problems, and repent later....

THE DANGER OF REJECTING ALLĀH’S LAW

 FAJR REMINDER: THE DANGER OF REJECTING ALLĀH’S LAW By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 4, 1448 (19-July-2026) Another aspect of Shirk (associating partners with Allāh) that nullifies one’s Islām and Eemān is preferring to rule by, or willingly accepting, laws other than those revealed by Allāh while believing that His Laws are unsuitable, outdated, or no better than man-made laws that contradict them. Such a belief reflects a dangerous preference for the rulings of human beings over the perfect Judgment of Allāh. Whoever believes that it is preferred to govern people's affairs, settle disputes, or implement punishments using laws other than the Sharī'ah—even while acknowledging that the Sharī'ah is superior—has declared lawful what Allāh has unanimously forbidden. Such a belief constitutes one of the nullifiers of Islām.” Allāh (ﷻ) says: “...And who is better in judgment than Allāh for a people who have firm faith.” [Sūrah Al-Mā’idah (5): 50] Sadly, this misconception has become evident a...

CAN THE WIFE SEEK OR INITIATE A DIVORCE?

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Ahad | 5th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Sunday, 19th July, 2026. *_CAN THE WIFE SEEK OR INITIATE A DIVORCE?_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Islam gives a wife the right to seek or initiate the end of a marriage when there is a VALID REASONS. This can happen through several means, the most well-known being khulʿ (where the wife requests a divorce, often by returning the mahr) or through an Islamic judge or authority who can dissolve the marriage. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...If you fear that they will not be able to keep within the limits of ALLAH, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself..." (Qur'an 2:229). This verse is the foundation for khulʿ, where a wife seeks release from the marriage. The Sunnah Confirms This Right. The wife of Thabit ibn Qays came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of ALLAH, I do not fault Thabit in his religion or character, but I dislike remaining with him (as ...

THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 4th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Saturday, 18th July, 2026. *_THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH Azzawajal has actually promised to bless both couples After a peaceful Separation. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "But if they separate, ALLAH will enrich each of them from HIS abundance. And ALLAH is Ever-Encompassing and Wise." (Qur'an 4:130). Lesson Divorce is not always the end of happiness. Sometimes separation is ALLAH'S Mercy, opening doors to peace, healing, and better opportunities for both spouses. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...And do not forget graciousness between yourselves. Indeed, ALLAH sees whatever you do." (Qur'an 2:237). Lesson Even after divorce, remember the years of companionship, children, sacrifices, and kindness. Avoid insulting or exposing one another's faults. ALLAH Azzawajal repeatedly reminds believers in the verses on divorce: "...And whoever fears ALLAH, HE will m...

THE ELOQUENT VOICE OF ISLĀM

 FAJR REMINDER: THE ELOQUENT VOICE OF ISLĀM By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 3, 1448 (18-July-2026) This morning, let us reflect on another remarkable man whose heart was opened to Islām through the recitation of the Qur'ān. Allāhu Akbar! He was Thābit Ibn Qays Al-Anṣārī (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu). Thābit belonged to the Khazraj tribe. When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Muṣ‘ab Ibn ‘Umayr (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) to call the people of Madīnah to Islām, Thābit listened to his recitation of the Qur'ān. The beauty of Muṣ‘ab’s voice, together with the calm and captivating rhythm of his recitation, deeply moved him. More importantly, the powerful message of the Qur'ān touched his heart and mind, leading him to embrace Islām. Thus, he became one of the earliest Muslims in Madīnah. Thābit was blessed with exceptional eloquence and was widely admired for his powerful voice and outstanding speaking ability. Along with his natural talent, he possessed a sincere heart and remarkable wisdom in dealing with people and di...

Don't Forget This [[--Episode 3--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 3--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Dear servants of Allah. Our life here on earth is short. It is only a trial. Think of Allah (swt) as a wise teacher. This teacher wants to see which students work hard and which are lazy. So, he prepares regular tests. Why? So that no student can later say, "You were unfair to us. You favored one student over another." Also, tests push us to prepare and study well. A wise teacher also gives different tests to different classes. A young student is not tested like an older student. Allah (swt) is the most fair and wise. He will test each person according to what they have been given. A student should never question the teacher's reasons for making the test. They should only focus on answering the questions. Similarly, we should not tell Allah (swt) how to test us. My trials are different from yours. Your trials are different from mine. That is because Allah (swt) created us, and He knows exac...

THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE KA‘BAH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE KA‘BAH By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 2, 1448 (17-July-2026) Last Friday, I spoke about how Allāh unites the entire Ummah through the Ka‘bah. Wherever Muslims may be, they all turn towards one Qiblah—the direction of the Ka‘bah—in every Ṣalāt, worshipping the One True God, Allāh. This morning, our focus is on the four corners of the Ka‘bah: the Black Stone Corner (Rukn Aswad), the Yemeni Corner (Rukn al-Yamānī), the Iraqi Corner (Rukn al-‘Irāqī), and the Syrian Corner (Rukn ash-Shāmī). During Ṭawāf (circumambulation), the Prophet (ﷺ) only interacted with two of these corners: the Black Stone Corner and the Yemeni Corner. Regarding the Black Stone Corner, the Sunnah is clear. Whenever possible, the Prophet (ﷺ) would touch and kiss the Black Stone. If the crowd prevented him from reaching it, he would simply point towards it and say, “Allāhu Akbar.” This teaches pilgrims that there is no justification for pushing, shoving, or causing harm to others in an ...

THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Jumuat | 3rd day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Friday, 17th July, 2026. *_THE BLESSINGS OF A PEACEFUL DIVORCE IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week.  Although marriage is one of the greatest blessings and acts of worship in Islam, there are situations where it becomes impossible for a husband and wife to live together in righteousness. In such cases, Islam permits divorce, not as a preferred option, but as a last resort, while commanding that it be carried out with justice, kindness, and dignity. ALLAH Azzawajal does not only teach us how to marry; HE also teaches us how to separate in a way that earns HIS pleasure. Divorce Should Be Done with Kindness and Excellence.  ALLAH Azzawajal says: "...Either retain them in a fair manner or release them with kindness (ihsān)."(Qur'an 2:229). ALLAH Azzawajal also says: "When you divorce women and they have fulfilled their wait...

WHEN DU‘Ā’ BECOMES SHIRK

 FAJR REMINDER: WHEN DU‘Ā’ BECOMES SHIRK By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 1, 1448 (16-July-2026) There is perhaps no greater tragedy than a person who sincerely longs for relief, yet turns to the wrong source in search of it. Across different places today, some Muslims, during moments of fear, hardship, illness, or even prosperity, direct their hearts and voices to the dead—people they regard as saints or righteous servants of Allāh. They plead with them for help, seek their intervention, and ask them to fulfil needs that only the Lord of the worlds has the power to fulfil. Such requests are not ordinary words. They are supplications, and supplication (Du’ā‘) is (an act of) Ibādah (worship). Every sincere supplication is an expression of humility, dependence, hope, and trust. These are acts of worship that belong exclusively to Allāh. Therefore, whoever asks another being for matters that only Allāh can grant—such as sustenance, healing, protection from calamities, forgiveness, or relief from d...

The Evil of Gambling, Especially Football Betting During the ongoing World Cup

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 2nd day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Thursday, 16th July, 2026. *_The Evil of Gambling, Especially Football Betting During the ongoing World Cup_*. BismilLah.  Let's pause on our Qur’an studies today to remind each other about the dangerous nature of gambling.  Information reaching me recently from my country Ghana Especially within some Muslims communities indicates that, the excitement of the ongoing World Cup leads lot's of Muslims to place bets on matches such as who wins and who scores involving money seeking to make more money AstaghfirulLah.  While watching football for lawful entertainment is generally permissible (provided it does not involve sinful elements), betting money on match outcomes is a form of gambling (maysir/qimār), which ALLAH Azzawajal has explicitly forbidden. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "O you who believe! Indeed, intoxicants, gambling (maysir), sacrificing on stone altars, and divining arrows are an abominatio...

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 2--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think about this for a moment. Right now, in a hospital, someone is struggling to breathe. They need a machine to help them. Right now, someone cannot pass urine or go to the toilet without a doctor's help. Right now, someone is finding it hard to even swallow their own saliva. Think of all the people you knew, who were your age, who have died. But you are still here. Allah (swt) has chosen you to live until today. Now, look at your own life. Do you have a job or not? Are you married or not? Do you have children or not? Are you rich or poor? Are you perfectly healthy or facing some sickness? My People, In any condition you are in, you are far, far better than millions of other people. This is a fact. If this is true, then you must say "Thank You" to Allah (swt). Not just sometimes, but all the time. Now, Who gets the benefit of being a thankful servant? It's You. Yourself. And, Allah (s...

Allah (swt) put you on this train. The destination is decided. You are going back to Him. My People, This world is not for enjoying the view. It is a test. A very, very short exam. Yes.

THE GREATEST WRONG AGAINST ALLĀH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE GREATEST WRONG AGAINST ALLĀH By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 30, 1448 (15-July-2026) The second class of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DENIAL OF ALLĀH’S RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED OR WORSHIPPING ANYTHING OR ANYONE ALONG WITH HIM. This category deals with the gravest of all sins: Shirk—associating partners with Allāh in worship. It includes directing acts of worship to the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, Shayṭān, or any other created being while neglecting the worship of Allāh, the One Who created them all. Reflect for a moment. The One Who created the darkness of the night, the brightness of the day, the radiant sun, and the moon that reflects its light is the only One deserving of worship. None of His creations possesses any share of His Divine Right. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor the moon, but prostrate to Allāh Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.” [Sūrah Fuṣṣil...
