MY HANDS

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *MY HANDS* An old man, probably some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the park bench. He didn't move, just sat with his head down staring at his hands. When I sat down beside him he didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if he was ok. Finally, not really wanting to disturb him but wanting to check on him at the same time, I asked him if he was ok. He raised his head and looked at me and smiled. Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking, he said in a clear strong voice. I didn't mean to disturb you... but you were just sitting here staring at your *hands* and I wanted to make sure you were ok I explained to him. Have you ever looked at your *hands* he asked. I mean really looked at your *hands*? I slowly opened my *hands* and stared down at them. I turned them over, palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at my *hands* as I tried to figure out the point he was making. The...

The Secret to Allah’s Help

 *The Secret to Allah’s Help* ------------------ Do you want Allah (swt) to help you when you or any of your family member needs Allah's help? Then help an orphan smile today and always. Yes! Allah (swt) promises to help those who bring joy to orphans. But listen carefully: Allah's help might not be more money in your pocket. It could be saving you or your loved ones from a sickness, fixing a problem in your family, or giving you everlasting peace of mind. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will help a servant as long as the servant helps his fellow Muslim.” 📚 Authentic Hadith So if you leave an orphan sad on Eid, do not expect Allah to rush and help ......😷. It is that simple. *Why Are They Orphans? A Test for You:* Never think a father died because his family or he offended Allah (swt). That is a lie. And we should never think we are alive with our families because we did something special for Allah (swt). We did not. Yes. Allah (swt) kept us alive as a m...

THE GATES AND THE LEVELS OF HELL

 FAJR REMINDER: THE GATES AND THE LEVELS OF HELL By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 12, 1447 (30-April-2026) Just as Jannah (Paradise) has gates prepared for its people, Hell too has gates awaiting its inhabitants. Allāh says: “So enter the gates of Hell, to dwell therein. Thus evil indeed is the abode of the arrogant.” [Sūrah An-Naḥl (16): 29] While Jannah is blessed with eight gates, Hell has seven. Each of these gates has been assigned a specific group from among the followers of Shayṭān. Every individual will enter through a gate that corresponds to their deeds, and their place within Hell will also be determined by what they earned in this world. Allāh says: “To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.” [Surah Al-Ḥijr (15): 44] The levels of Hell vary, and they are not all the same. They differ based on the extent of disbelief and wrongdoing committed in the worldly life. Among its inhabitants, the hypocrites will suffer the worst fate, ...

DRAGGED TO HELL

 FAJR REMINDER: DRAGGED TO HELL By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 11, 1447 (29-April-2026) On the Day of Resurrection, the disbelievers will be raised in the most humiliating condition—dragged and gathered upon their faces. This will be a severe disgrace and a terrifying punishment for those who rejected the truth and turned away from the Guidance of Allāh. Allāh says: “...And We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf, their abode will be Hell; whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire.” [Sūrah Al-Isrā‘ (17): 97] This reality was further explained by the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) when a man found it difficult to imagine how someone could be made to walk on his face. Anas Ibn Mālik (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated: A man said, “O Allāh's Prophet! Will Allāh gather the non-believers on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “Will not the One Who made him walk on his feet in this world, be able to ma...

THE TERRIBLE ABODE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE TERRIBLE ABODE! By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 10, 1447 (28-April-2026) Many people live as though this worldly life is all that matters. They chase enjoyment without caring whether the means are lawful or unlawful, thinking they must satisfy every desire before death comes. Some even deny the existence of the Hereafter altogether. But the Hereafter is true, certain, and far greater than this temporary life. A wise person does not become fooled by the glitter of this world while neglecting what lies ahead. We must strive seriously to protect ourselves from Hell, for it is the most dreadful destination. Allāh says: “Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but (you men) love the present life of this world, And leave (neglect) the Hereafter.” [Sūrah Al-Qiyāmah (75): 20-21] As Muslims, our focus should never be limited to this world alone. We live here, but our hearts are attached to the life to come. Success is no...

Yusuf & the Devil

 *Yusuf & the Devil* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A brother named Yusuf was tired. Every night, his children cried for no reason. Every morning, he woke up feeling like a heavy weight was on his chest. His money kept disappearing in strange ways. His wife had bad dreams almost every single night. One Friday, an old man came to Yusuf's door selling dates. The old man looked at Yusuf's face and said, "Son, something evil is staying in your house." Yusuf felt his heart drop. "How do you know?" he asked. The old man smiled and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) told us: In Surah al-Baqarah there is an ayah which is the best of all the ayats of the Quran. It is never recited in a house but the Shaytan leaves. That ayah is Ayatul Kursi." Yusuf ran inside. He recited it silently many times. Then he put the audio on repeat. He let it play the whole night and sometimes during the day. The first week, nothing significant changed. But he ...

A True Story !!!

 *A True Story !!!* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم This incident, which took place in a small town and reported in the local press of the district. According to the report, a Muslim girl realizes that it is getting dark on her way home after school. The girl who wants to go home as soon as possible has two options. In the first option, she will pass a narrow and very dark road between two large apartments and reach her house much faster, or in the second option, she will take the longer road. The Muslim girl chooses to take the shorter and darker route, so as not to be too late home. As the girl was walking along the road, she noticed a man who looked like a very bad person was coming. Very scared, the girl immediately starts to recites Ayatul Kursi. The man walks past the girl, but the very scared girl tells her family about this as soon as she gets home. Since the girl's family had previously read in the newspapers that another girl passing by that road was raped, they...

EASY WAY TO CHANGE OURSELVES

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` Monday 27th April 2026/8 Dhul'Qa'ada 1447 AH ` * *EASY WAY TO CHANGE OURSELVES* There was a king long time ago and he had a vast kingdom. Tho-ugh he had tremendous amount of wealth, but he didn't have peace of heart. So he decided to be a good human. He heard that there is a very pious man who stays in a jungle and that many people go to visit him for advice. The king decided to visit him for some advice also. When he got there, he asked the pious man "How can I become pious like you?" The pious man replied that remember death 40 times a day for 40 days.

HELL-FIRE IS REAL AND ALREADY CREATED

 FAJR REMINDER: HELL-FIRE IS REAL AND ALREADY CREATED By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 9, 1447 (27-April-2026) Let us now reflect on Hell-Fire. Just as Jannah (Paradise) is already created, Hell-Fire too has already been created and prepared by Allāh for those who reject faith and persist in disbelief. It is not something that will be created later; rather, it already exists. Allāh says: “And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers.” [Sūrah Aal-‘Imrān (3): 131] This verse clearly shows that Hell has already been prepared and is awaiting its people. The reality of this is further emphasized in the Ḥadīth narrated by Ibn ‘Umar (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhuma), where the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Verily, when one of you dies, he is shown his place morning and evening. If he is among the inhabitants of Paradise, then he is among the inhabitants of Paradise. If he is among the inhabitants of the Hellfire, then he is among the inhabitants of the Hellfire. It will be said: This is your ...

QUNUT AGAINST USAIYYA

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` * *QUNUT AGAINST USAIYYA* “The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent a Sariya (army unit) consisting of men called Al-Qurra, and all of them were martyred. I had never seen the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) so sad over anything as he was over them. So he said Qunut for one month in the Fajr prayer, asking for Allah’s Wrath upon the tribe of Usaiyya and he used to say, _*The people of Usaiyya have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.’”*_ [Sahih Bukhari] ➡ Abu Bara came to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) in Madina and asked him to dispatch some of the Sahabah to the people of Najd to call them to Islam. “I expect them to accept (Islam)” he said. “I am afraid that the people of Najd will kill them” said the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam). But Abu Bara said that he would protect them. _*So the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent seventy of the Sahabah who were the best and most learned in the...

THE REWARD AND EVEN MORE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE REWARD AND EVEN MORE By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 8, 1447 (26-April-2026) The delights of Jannah are beyond anything the human mind can fully imagine. Allāh has prepared for the people of Jannah provisions, comforts, and joys that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has ever conceived. These are for those who obeyed Him in this world, stayed away from disobedience, and remained firm upon His Guidance. They knew where alcohol was sold, yet they turned away from it for His Sake. They had opportunities to commit Zinā, but they restrained themselves out of fear of Allāh. They could have pursued unlawful wealth, but they chose what was pure and lawful instead. They stood in worship, remained patient during trials, and struggled to please their Lord. For such obedience, patience, steadfastness, and sacrifice, Allāh has prepared a tremendous reward. He says: “Verily, for the Muttaqūn, there will be a success (Paradise); Gardens and grape yards; And young ful...

Think about the orphans and widows.

 Think about the orphans and widows. They see everyone preparing new clothes and tasty food for Eid al-Adha, but they have nothing. You have the power to change that. Yes. When you give even a little money to put a smile on their faces, Allah (swt) sees you. And Allah helps those who help orphans. This help might not necessarily or always giving you more money, but with peace in your heart, safety for your family, prevention of calamities or an easy way out of a hard problem you are facing. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will help a servant as long as the servant helps his fellow Muslim.” 📚Bukhari & Muslim Now remember this truth: Muslim preachers cannot go to churches and ask Christians to take care of our Muslim orphans and widows. It is not their duty—it is ours. If we do not help our own people, who will? On the day of Eid, while you are laughing with your children, some widow’s child will be crying because there is no meat, no new clothes, no joy. D...

SAWDAH’S EARLY TRIALS AND SACRIFICES

 FAJR REMINDER: SAWDAH’S EARLY TRIALS AND SACRIFICES By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 7, 1447 (25-April-2026) Our mother, Sawdah Bint Zam’ah Ibn Qays (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha), was first married to Sakrān Ibn ‘Amr (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu). When the light of Islām reached them, both of them accepted the call to Tawḥīd and submitted to Allāh. Because of this, Sawdah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) became one of the earliest women in Makkah to embrace Islām at a time when accepting the truth came with severe social danger and open hostility. Around the third or fourth year after the Prophet (ﷺ) began his mission, Allāh commanded him with the words: “Therefore proclaim openly (Allāh’s Message—Islāmic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers, etc.).” [Sūrah Al-Ḥijr (15): 94] After this command, the early Muslims began to face intense persecution from the idolaters of Makkah. Their suffering became so severe that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) p...

YOU BROUGHT ME DATES, AND DID NOT REMOVE THE SEEDS FROM THEM"

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *”YOU BROUGHT ME DATES, AND DID NOT REMOVE THE SEEDS FROM THEM"* What is the secret behind the popularity of this phrase and who said it? Omar bin Al-Khattab's attention was drawn to the fact that Abu Bakr went out to the outskirts of Medina after Fajr prayer, entered a small house for hours, and then he goes to his own house. And Omar knew everything that Abu Bakr was doing except for the secret of this house. Days have passed and the Caliph of the Believers is still visiting this house. Omar still did not know what Abu Bakr was doing, so Omar decided to enter the house after Abu Bakr left. So that he can see with his eyes and know what Abu Bakr does after the Fajr prayer. When Omar entered this little house, he found an old woman who could not move and had no one, and she is also blind. Ibn Al-Khattab was surprised by what he saw. He wanted to know what is Abu Bakr's relationship with this blind old woman, so he aske...

The Special Key

 *The Special Key* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Brothers and Sisters in Islam, every Friday, a special treasure is distributed. The key to unlocking it is far simpler: TIME. When you make the conscious effort to go for Jumu'ah prayers early, you are not just securing a seat in the mosque. You are securing a seat in the divine mercy of Allah. *The Reward of a Sacrifice:* From numerous authentic hadith, the one who goes to attend the Juma'at prayers in the First Hour is rewarded as if he has sacrificed a camel. The one who comes in the Second Hour as if he has sacrificed a cow, and then a chicken, and then an egg. 📚 Authentic. Therefore, the earlier you come, the greater the rewards. Slaves of Allah! Those who attend Jumu’ah prayer should be quiet and listen attentively to the imam when he is preaching. It is not permissible to speak to others, even if that is to tell them to be quiet. Whoever does that has engaged in idle talk (laghw), and whoever engages in idle ...
