LET US CONTROL OUR TONGUES BEFORE THEY DESTROY US AND OUR FAMILIES

 

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER

Yaum al-Ithnayn | 1st of Jumādā al-Ūlā, 1448 AH | Monday, 12 October 2026

LET US CONTROL OUR TONGUES BEFORE THEY DESTROY US AND OUR FAMILIES.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Sometimes, the greatest enemy of peace in our homes is not poverty, but the words that come out of our mouths.

A careless tongue can destroy a marriage, break a child's heart, separate brothers and sisters, and turn a peaceful home into a place of pain and sorrow.

Dear brothers and sisters, before you insult your spouse, remember that ALLĀH ‘Azza wa Jall is listening. Before you humiliate your child, remember that your words may remain in their heart long after you have forgotten them. Before you expose your family's weaknesses, remember that not every provocation deserves a response, and not every argument needs to be won.

ALLĀH ‘Azza wa Jall says:

“And speak to people good [words].”

📖 Qur’ān 2:83

Our beloved Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent.”

📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6018; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 47.

To all husbands and wives, do not allow anger to make you utter words that destroy the love you have spent years building.

Parents, do not use your tongues to curse, insult, or constantly condemn your children. Correct them with wisdom, discipline them with fairness, and guide them with mercy.

Children, speak to your parents with respect, even when you disagree with them. Disagreement should never become an excuse for disrespect.

Remember: You can apologise for your words, but you may not be able to erase the pain they have caused.

Before you speak, ask yourself:

  • Will these words please Allāh?
  • Will they bring peace or create another wound?
  • Would I be comfortable answering to Allāh for these words on the Day of Judgement?

Let our homes be places of mercy, not insults; understanding, not humiliation; and love, not verbal destruction.

This reminder is first for myself and then for you who are reading it.

May Allāh ‘Azza wa Jall purify our hearts, guard our tongues, protect our marriages, unite our families, and make us among those who speak goodness or remain silent.

Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-‘Ālamīn.

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...
