COVERING THE FAULTS OF OTHERS: A PATH TO ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY.

 

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER.

Yaumul Ahad | 27th day of Jumādā al-Awwal, 1448 AH | Sunday, 8th November, 2026.

COVERING THE FAULTS OF OTHERS: A PATH TO ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY.

Bismillāh.

Assalāmu Alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh, dear brothers and sisters in Islam.

One of the beautiful qualities of a true believer is the willingness to conceal the faults and shortcomings of others rather than expose, disgrace or humiliate them.

Sometimes, we discover the mistakes of our spouses, relatives, friends, neighbours or fellow Muslims. What do we do? Do we rush to announce their shortcomings, spread their private affairs and damage their reputations?

Remember, just as we would love ALLAH Azzawajal to conceal our own faults in this world and on the Day of Judgement, we should also learn to conceal the faults of others.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter." (Sahih Muslim 2699)

Brothers and sisters, covering someone's fault does not mean approving of their wrongdoing or concealing abuse, injustice or harm. Rather, it means protecting their dignity, advising them privately and helping them correct their mistakes instead of publicly humiliating them.

Never forget: the person whose faults you are exposing today may be someone whose private sins ALLAH Azzawajal has been concealing for years.

Let us stop exposing one another and start correcting one another with wisdom, sincerity and compassion.

Before exposing somebody's mistake, ask yourself: If ALLAH Azzawajal were to expose all my hidden mistakes, would I be comfortable standing before people?

May ALLAH Azzawajal conceal our faults, forgive our shortcomings and make us among those who protect the dignity of others. 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...
