 FAJR REMINDER: THE BEAUTY OF GRATITUDE IN MARRIAGE By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 17, 1448 (2-July-2026) Have you ever reflected on why the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) informed us that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire are women? It is a question that deserves sincere contemplation—not to discourage or frighten women, but to remind us of a habit that can have enormous consequences in this life and the next: ingratitude. Gratitude is one of the finest qualities a believer can possess. It reflects humility, sincerity, and recognition of the blessings Allāh has placed in our lives. A grateful heart appreciates both the Giver of blessings and the means through which those blessings arrive. Ibn ‘Abbās (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhuma) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I was shown the Hell-Fire and the majority of its dwellers were ungrateful women. It was asked, ‘Do they disbelieve in Allāh?’ (Or are they ungrateful to Allāh?) He replied, ‘They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the...

BismilLah.  Let's begin with our studies of this suurah. Please read the historical/ background and context from yesterday's reminder first. Verse 1. غټش وتوڏ "He frowned and turned away." Meaning: The Prophet sallallahu alaihi frowned and turned his attention elsewhere. Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal begins with a gentle but powerful correction. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam  did not speak harshly, nor did he insult the blind Companion. Yet ALLAH Azzawajal cared about the feelings and dignity of a believer seeking guidance. Verse 2. أن جاءۀ الأغفى "Because the blind man came to him." Meaning: The reason for the frown was the arrival of the blind Companion. Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal mentions the man's blindness not as a deficiency but to highlight that he could not even see the Prophet's ...

 FAJR REMINDER: WHOM DO YOU TAKE YOUR DĪN FROM? By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 16, 1448 (1-July-2026) The more you learn about Islām from authentic sources, the more convinced you become that it is the true religion revealed by Allāh for all people until the end of time. Islām is a religion that is simple, rational, clear, and comprehensive. Its beauty has no limit because it originates from the Infinite One—our Creator and the Only True God worthy of worship. Among the greatest blessings Allāh has bestowed upon us is that He guided us to this perfect religion. As Allāh (ﷻ) says: “…This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islām as your religion…” [Sūrah Al-Mā’idah (5): 3] Being a Muslim is purely a favor and mercy from Allāh. Therefore, seeking authentic Islāmic knowledge and striving to practice it correctly should be among our greatest priorities. However, every sincere seeker must ask an important question: From whom do I tak...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 16th day of Muharram, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 1st July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH ABASA, QUR'AN 80_*. BismilLah.  Suurah ‘Abasa was revealed in Makkah. The opening verses refer to an incident involving the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a blind Companion, ‘Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum. One day, the Prophet ﷺ was speaking with some influential leaders of Quraysh, hoping that they might accept Islam and that their acceptance would strengthen the Muslim community. During this conversation, Ibn Ummĥĥɓ Maktum رضي الله عنه came seeking guidance and asking the Prophet ﷺ to teach him from what ALLAH had taught him. Because the Prophet ﷺ was focused on the leaders, he frowned slightly and turned away momentarily from the blind man. ALLAH Azzawajal immediately corrected HIS Messenger through revelation, not because the Prophet ﷺ committed a major sin, but to teach the Ummah that sincere seekers of guidance are more honoured in the sight of Allah than arrogant p...
