LET'S ALWAYS MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN (FAITH)

 

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER

Yaum Arba'a | 12th day of Rabee-uthaani, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 23rd September, 2026.

LET'S ALWAYS MOTIVATE OURSELVES TO BOOST OUR EEMAAN (FAITH)

Bismillāh.

As Muslims, it is important to reset our lifestyle if we truly want ALLAH Azzawajal to change our lives for the better. ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Qur'an:

"Indeed, ALLAH will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."
(Qur'an 13:11)

How, then, do we implement an emotional reset?

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) gave us a powerful solution when he said:

"Remember often the destroyer of pleasures: death."
(At-Tirmidhi, 579)

Indeed, remembering the reality and trials surrounding death can bring us back to a state of true awareness. By "remembering," I do not simply mean recalling the word or thinking about it occasionally. Rather, it means internalising the reality that awaits us and understanding that our actions in this life will determine what we encounter in the Hereafter.

Qur'an Chapters 81 and 82 portray powerful imagery of the end of this world as we know it. Reading and reflecting upon these signs can leave a believer deeply shaken and remind us of the temporary nature of this worldly life. Such reflection brings wisdom that can help produce tranquillity and patience in the face of hardship.

Thus, when everything else seems to fail, the remembrance of death can itself be a powerful motivator in the life of a believer.

ALLAH Azzawajal says:

"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection..."
(Qur'an 3:185)

Awareness of death and its realities encourages us to repent and consistently seek forgiveness for our sins. It keeps us humble and helps us remain conscious of our accountability before ALLAH Azzawajal.

The remembrance of death also brings wisdom that can produce tranquillity in the face of hardship, contentment with our provisions and blessings, and sweetness in performing acts of worship. It helps us fulfil our purpose in this life and keep our priorities in the right order.

May ALLAH Azzawajal continue to guide us, strengthen our Eemaan, grant us beneficial knowledge, and make us among those who prepare for the Hereafter before death comes to us. Aameen.

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...

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 ...

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...
