 A Gift For You [[- Episode 6 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) say in Suratul Maryam, chapter 19 verse 23: فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَٰلَيْتَنِى مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten." 📚Maryam 19:23 This means, "I wish I had not been created and I was nothing." - I was something unknown, forgotten and no one knew who I was. *Lessons:* In every situations we found ourselves, Allah (swt) sees our Pain and Struggles. Maryam (a.s.) was a chaste woman, committed to worshipping Allah, and yet Allah tested her with a miraculous pregnancy in a community where pre-marital sex would mean surely being out-casted, even being stoned to death. This mean that, no matter our level of obedience to Allah (swt), we will be tested in one way or the other in life. Maryam (a.s.) ...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 5 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم In this world, the similitude of Allah (swt) towards his slaves, is that of - *"a wise teacher who want to know hard-working student and the lazy student in his class. Yes. He does this by preparing regular exams as testimonies so that the students would not say that the teacher had favored some students over the others"*😃. And Exams also urge students to get prepared in order to succeed. Also, The wise teacher sets different evaluation criteria for different grades; the students in the first grade are not evaluated as the students in the advanced degrees. We expect that the fair and wise God would evaluate people according to what they have been provided. Furthermore, The students should not wonder about the intention of the teacher; they are supposed to focus on what the teacher asked them to do. Yes. If Allah (swt) wants to set up the testing environment to test people, then we are not supposed to...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 20th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 2nd September, 2026. *_UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE SAY IN OUR SALAAT CONTINUES_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our understanding of what we say during salaat. Zikir after first sujuud. After the first sujuud, we sit briefly before going down for the second sujuud. In this sitting, the common Sunnah supplication is: رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي Rabbighfirlii, Rabbighfirlii “My Lord, forgive me. My Lord, forgive me.” The Prophet ﷺ taught this supplication during the sitting between the two prostrations. It is authentically reported in the hadith collections, including Sunan Abī Dāwūd and Sunan al-Tirmidhī. Why “forgive me”? Think about the sequence: Rukūʿ: Subḥāna Rabbiyal-ʿAẓīm “Glory is to my Lord, the Magnificent.” Rising from rukūʿ: Rabbana wa lakal-ḥamd “Our Lord, to You belongs all praise.” First sujūd: Subḥāna Rabbiyal-Aʿlā “Glory is to my Lord, the Most High.” Sitting betwe...

 FAJR REMINDER: FIR’AUN RAISED HIS DOWNFALL By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 20, 1448 (2-September-2026) Among the matters we should deeply reflect upon, as a manifestation of the Greatness and Perfect Planning of Allāh, is the remarkable story of the male child—Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām)—through whom Fir’aun would eventually lose his power and meet his destruction. Subḥānallāh! The very child whom Fir’aun feared and sought to eliminate was raised in his own household. Fir’aun himself became part of the upbringing of Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām). Allāh could have destroyed Fir’aun immediately, but He did not. Instead, He caused the very child through whom Fir’aun would eventually be destroyed to grow up right under his roof. What an extraordinary demonstration of the Power and Wisdom of Allāh! Ibn ‘Abbās and Mujāhid said: Allāh left Fir'awn for forty years after his first statement: يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرِي “O chiefs! I know not that you have a god ...

 FAJR REMINDER: BUT ALLĀH HAD A BETTER PLAN By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 19, 1448 (1-September-2026) When Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) was cast into the river, his mother’s heart became empty. She could think of nothing in this world except her beloved child. The grief was so overwhelming that she was almost unable to conceal what had happened.  A mother's love! It was narrated that Ṣa'ṣa'ah, the paternal uncle of Aḥnaf, said: دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا فَأَعْطَتْهَا ثَلاَثَ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً ثُمَّ صَدَعَتِ الْبَاقِيَةَ بَيْنَهُمَا.‏ قَالَتْ فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏ ”مَا عَجَبُكِ لَقَدْ دَخَلَتْ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ.“ “A woman entered upon Ā'ishah with her two daughters, and she gave her three dates. (The woman) gave each of her daughters a date, then she split the last one between them. She (Ā'ishah) said: ‘Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came and I told him about that.’ He ...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our understanding of what we say during salaat. SUJUUD.  Sujuud (prostration) is one of the most powerful positions in ṣalaah. The body is at its lowest, yet spiritually it is a position of tremendous honour and closeness to ALLAH Azzawajal. We then say: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى Subḥaana Rabbiyal-Aʿalaa Meaning: “Glory is to my LORD, the Most High.” It is normally repeated three times, though the number is not restricted to exactly three. The Prophet ﷺ instructed us regarding rukūʿ: “Glorify therein the greatness of the Lord…” and regarding sujūd: “…and strive in supplication, for it is fitting that you should be answered.” This is reported in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. Think about the position of the body. Your head, which is normally the highest part of your body, is placed on t...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our understanding of what we say during salaat. As we rise from rukūʿ, we say: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ Samiʿallāhu liman ḥamidah Meaning: “ALLAH hears the one who praises HIM.” This isn't merely telling us that ALLAH Azzawajal physically hears our voice. ALLAH'S hearing is perfect. HE hears every servant, every prayer and every praise, regardless of how quietly it is spoken. It also carries the meaning that ALLAH responds to and gives attention to the praise of HIS servant. Once we are standing upright, we say: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ Rabbana wa lakal-ḥamd Meaning: “Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise.” There is something profound about the sequence. In rukūʿ we say: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ “Glory is to my Lord, the Magnificent.” We acknowledge ALLAH'S gr...

 FAJR REMINDER: FIR’AUN’S PLAN, ALLĀH’S DECREE By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 18, 1448 (31-August-2026) It is mentioned that when Fir’aun had killed so many of the male children of Banī Israel, the Copts became concerned that the population of Banī Israel would eventually die out. They feared that, once the men were gone, they would be forced to take on the heavy labor that Banī Israel had been performing. So they said to Fir’aun, “If this continues, and their old men die and the young men are killed, their women will not be able to do the work that the men are doing, and we will end up having to do it.” As a result, Fir’aun ordered that the boys should be killed one year and spared the following year. Prophet Hārūn (‘Alayhi Salām) was born in a year when the boys were not being killed, while Prophet Mūsā (‘Alayhi Salām) was born during the year in which the boys were being killed. Fir’aun appointed midwives to carry out this terrible task. They would go around among the women, inspe...

 Failed Evil Plots ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine you have a shield. This shield is not made of metal. It is made of light and peace. It is a shield that protects you from every bad thing and evil creatures. This shield is the Tahajjud prayer. Tahajjud is the prayer you do in the night, when everyone is asleep. When the world is dark and quiet, you are awake, talking to the One who created you. And for engaging in Tahajjud prayer consistently without missing, Allah (swt) gives you a amazing prize. This prize is total protection. Protection from your enemies, from the evil eye, and from jealousy. Why is this shield so strong? Because Allah (swt) loves those who pray Tahajjud consistently without missing. Think about that. The King of all Kings, the Most Powerful, loves you. And when HE loves you, HE becomes your Guardian. When Allah protects you, no one can harm you. No one!. Yes. You will see the proof in your life: (1) The bad plans people make for you will fail...

 A Gift For You [[- Episode 4 -]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم You say you are busy. You cannot find time to read the Qur'an. Okay. But is listening also a problem? Does it take hard work to press 'play' and listen? No. It is the easiest thing in the world. Think about this simple action: You go to bed after Ishai prayer. You lay on your bed. Your phone is right there with you. You press 'play' on a Qur'an recitation. What you get doing this everyday is bigger than biggest. Every blessed night, let it play softly from that moment until the time for Fajr prayer. Do it every single night. Does this use all your phone's battery? No. It will not use even 30% of it. Except if your phone battery is completely bad. Now, do you know about the great blessings that come from doing this every night? While every human being is sleeping, your house is not silent. It is filled with the Words of Allah (swt). The angels are with you. This Qur'an is a light....

The same shaytan is still the one tricking all the descendants of Prophet Adam (a.s.) to dislike every deeds that will earn them Allah s mercy. My People, In one time or the other, we have committed some sins in the past, the sins that if we remember, we become ashamed of ourselves, we become worried - as whether we will get Allah's mercy on the day of judgement or not. It is recommended to seek forgiveness a lot, and to repent sincerely every time the sin comes to one’s mind. If we practice this, then, we have no cause to worry about our past sins. Yes. This is why the prophet (PBUH) said: *“Everyone from my nation will enter Paradise but those who refuse.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, who will refuse?” The Prophet said, “Whoever obeys me ...

We are asking ALLAH Azzawajal to place us upon the path of the people who received HIS favour.  غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ “Not the path of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.” The Qur’an later identifies those people as the: Prophets, truthful, martyrs, righteous. Ibn Kathir explains that Faatihah directs the believer towards the true religion and righteous deeds, leading ultimately to success in the Hereafter.  Don't merely ask: “What do I want to do with my life?” Ask: “What path would ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased for me to follow?” Our role mo...

A Gift For You ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Imagine two gifts. One gift is wrapped in beautiful paper. The other is a simple key. The beautiful paper is nice to look at. But the key can open doors to unquantifiable treasure. Our children are a trust from Allah (swt). We love them. We want to give them everything. We work hard to give them nice clothes, good food, a safe home, and best western education. This is good. But this is the beautiful wrapping paper. The real treasure is their heart, their faith, correct islamic upbringing, the type of school they attended, and their connection to Allah. This is the key. *A Story of a Father’s Prayer (Du'a):* Think of Zayd, the father of Sa'id. Sa'id is one of the ten companions promised Paradise while on earth. His father, Zayd, wanted more than anything to meet the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). But he was killed before he could. With his last breath, he did not ask for anything for himself.

Because without guidance, worldly blessings can actually become a means of destruction. You can have money and be misguided. You can have knowledge and be misguided. You can have power and be misguided. You can have fame and be misguided. Therefore, the believer asks ALLAH Azzawajal: “O ALLAH, keep me upon the path that pleases You.” We do not ask ALLAH Azzawajal for guidance only once. We ask for it at least seventeen (17) times a day in the obligatory prayers. Why? Because guidance is not something we obtai...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE HONOUR OF DAUGHTERS IN ISLĀM By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 12, 1448 (25-August-2026) It is an age-old practice among some parents to favour their sons over their daughters. But what does Islām say about such treatment? Islām teaches parents not to treat their children unfairly simply because of their gender. It strongly condemns attitudes that devalue daughters and commands parents to deal justly with all their children. Before the advent of Islām, brought by Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), some Arabs regarded the birth of a daughter as a disgrace. Allāh (ﷻ) condemned this evil attitude, saying: “And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision.” [Sūrah An-Naḥl (16): 58-59] Islām came and completely reje...
