Imaam Tirmidhi (RA) has also recorded several narrations of similar meaning from ʿAbdullah Ibn Masʿud (RA) and other Sahaabah-e-Kiraam (RA). NOTE: There is some disagreement amongst the scholars regarding the number of additional Takbeers. The opinion of the Madhhab of Imaam Abu Haneefah (RA) is quoted here. However, the Imaam leading the Salah should be followed. There is no disagreement regarding the occurrence and sequence of these Takbeers; the difference of opinion is only concerning their number. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PAGE 2 ✍🏻... 🔸 Make the intention for Salah: “I am performing Salatul-Eid for Allah (SWT) with six (or any other number of) additional Takbeers.” Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: ...

  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 ...

  YOUR BEST LESSON بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ When you hear about Prophet Zakariyyah (AS) or Prophet Musa (AS), don't just listen. Look at your own life. Yes, their stories are not merely old tales. They are among the lessons Allah has given us to teach us how to live today. Here is how: Sometimes, things don't go the way you want them to. You feel sad, disappointed, or even confused. This is where your test begins. Look at Prophet Zakariyyah (AS). He longed for a child and continued to make Du'a for a long time. But did he stop making Du'a? No! He never gave up hope in Allah. And when Allah finally answered his prayer, He did not merely give him a child. Allah blessed him with Yahya (AS) , a noble Prophet. The long and painful period of waiting became a source of great joy and blessing. Allah (SWT) says about Yahya (AS): “And [We gave him] affection from Us and purity, and he was God-fearing.” 📚 Surah Maryam 19:13 Therefore, when you experienc...

It is reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) was in the Masjid when a woman from the people of Muzainah, who had adorned herself, came into the Masjid. Upon this, Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) said: “O people, prevent your women from wearing attractive garments and walking proudly in the Masjid, since the people of Bani Isra’eel were cursed because of this very action of their women.” (Ibn Majah) PAGE 2 ✍🏻... Imam Tirmidhi (RA) has recorded the narration of Ummu ‘Atiyyah (RA) in his famous collection of Hadith.

  FAJR REMINDER: “NOW?” — WHEN REPENTANCE COMES TOO LATE Rabī‘ Al-Akhīr 10, 1448 AH (22nd September, 2026) Arrogance is not merely an unpleasant quality. It is a dangerous disease of the heart—one that Allāh dislikes and that can ultimately lead a person to destruction. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave us a precise description of this destructive disease. ‘Abdullāh Ibn Mas‘ūd (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ “…Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 91] Look carefully at this definition. Arrogance is not only walking proudly, speaking boastfully, or displaying one's wealth. At its heart is something far more dangerous: rejecting the truth when it comes to you and looking down upon those whom you consider beneath you. And perhaps no creature illustrates this more clearly than Iblīs. He was the first to display arrogance towards Allāh and His creation. When Allāh commanded him to p...

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum ath-Thulāthā’ | 11th day of Rabee‘-uth-Thaani, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 22nd September, 2026. MY WEALTH… MY WEALTH… MY WEALTH! BismilLāh. Abu Hurairah (may ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “A servant says: ‘My wealth! My wealth!’ But from his wealth, only three things are truly his: what he eats, what he wears and wears out, and what he gives in charity, and that is what he has stored for himself.” Sahih Muslim Brothers and sisters, think about this. We work hard for our money. We save it. We protect it. We call it “MY wealth.” But when death comes, we leave every penny behind. The house stays. The car stays. The money stays. Someone else inherits what we spent our whole lives collecting. BUT THERE IS ONE WAY TO SEND OUR WEALTH AHEAD OF US: THROUGH CHARITY! Support an orphan. Build a Masjid. Support Islamic education. Provide clean water. Feed the hungry. Help a...

OUR TOPIC IS 👇 TYPES OF PRAYERS (Episode 16) Monday, 21st September 2026 11th Rabi'ul-Thaani 1448 AH PAGE 1 ✍🏻 عيد — 'EID PRAYER The 'Eid Prayer consists of two rak'ahs, performed in the normal way, with the addition of six takbirs: three of them at the beginning of the first rak'ah and three of them just before the ruku' in the second rak'ah. The detailed way of performing the 'Eid Prayer is as follows: The Imam will begin the prayer without Adhan or Iqamah. He will begin the prayer by reciting the Takbir of Tahrimah ( Allahu Akbar ). You should raise your hands up to your ears while reciting the takbir. Then, you give a little pause, during which you should recite the Thana' ( Subhanak Allahumma... ).

  The Dream That Swallowed Ismail بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Two days ago, Ismail shared with us a lesson from his life. This is the person I know. He narrated: “I used to delay my prayers, saying, ‘I will pray later.’ I used to lie and gossip. I used to watch videos of women on social media, telling myself, ‘Just this once is okay,’ even when my heart told me that it was wrong. One night, I went to bed after another day of ‘later.’ I woke up in the darkness. But I was not on my bed. I was standing in a vast, empty desert beneath a black sky. The air was still and terribly cold. I was completely alone. A voice spoke. It was not a sound I heard with my ears; rather, I felt it in my bones. ‘Where are the prayers you left for later?’ Suddenly, shapes appeared in the sand around my feet. They were pale, like forgotten bones. They were the ghosts of my missed prayers—the Fajr I slept through, the Asr I was too busy to pray. They clutched at my ankles with thin, cold fingers. I t...

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum al-Ithnayn | 10th day of Rabee-uthaani, 1448 AH | Monday, 21st September, 2026. LET'S NOT BLAME ANYONE FOR OUR MISFORTUNE BismilLah. Islam teaches us to take responsibility for our actions and our situation without unnecessarily blaming others. Blaming others is often used as an excuse to avoid the self-reflection and necessary self-improvement that we need. Abu Dharr, may ALLAH be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said that ALLAH the Exalted said: يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أُحْصِيهَا لَكُمْ ثُمَّ أُوَفِّيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ “O My servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you and then recompense you for. So, whoever finds good, let him praise ALLAH; and whoever finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself.” Sahih Muslim 2577. Ibn Rajab, may ALLAH have mercy u...

Our topic is 👇 TYPES OF PRAYERS (Episode 15) Sunday, 20th September 2026 10th Rabīʿ al-Thānī, 1448 AH PAGE 1 ✍🏻... 🔹 ṢALĀT AL-SAFAR PAGE 2 ✍🏻... صلاة السفر Journey Prayer It is said that one should offer two units of prayer before departing on a journey ( Ṣalāt al-Khurūj ilā al-Safar ), and upon returning from the journey ( Ṣalāt al-ʿAwda ).

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum ul-Ahad | 9th day of Rabīʿ-uth-Thānī, 1448 AH | Sunday, 20th September 2026 EEMAAN WITHOUT ACTION IS BASELESS — CONTINUES Bismillāh. Let us continue with our topic from yesterday's reminder. As Muslims, it is important that we act upon our Eemaan. If our Eemaan never affects our Ṣalāh, honesty, modesty, relationships, business dealings, treatment of others, or obedience to Allāh ʿAzza wa Jall and His Messenger (ﷺ), then we should seriously examine the condition of our Eemaan. This does not mean that every Muslim who commits a sin has no Eemaan. Muslims can become weak, fall into sin, and then sincerely repent. Rather, the danger lies in claiming Eemaan while deliberately refusing to allow that Eemaan to influence the way we live our daily lives. Think of Eemaan like the root of a tree, while righteous deeds are its fruit. A healthy tree should eventually produce fruit. Likewise, genuine Eemaan should produce obedience, worship, good character, ...

  FAJR REMINDER: NO ONE SAVES EXCEPT ALLĀH Rabīʿ Al-Akhīr 8, 1448 (20-September-2026) بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ What if the very thing you are trusting to protect you is pulling you away from the One Who has the power to protect you? While you are hanging an amulet for protection, wearing a charm against evil, or running to a magician because you fear what someone may do to you, have you forgotten the One Who protected you before you could even pronounce His Name? Consider Prophet Mūsā (ʿAlayhi Salām). Before he was born, Firʿaun had ordered the killing of the male children among Banī Isrāʾīl. Mūsā (ʿAlayhi Salām) was only a helpless infant. His mother could not overpower Firʿaun. His family could not defeat his army. No human being could guarantee that this newborn child would survive. But Mūsā had a Protector—Allāh. Allāh inspired his mother to nurse him, and when she feared for him, to place him in the river. Allāh promised her that He would return him to her a...

  THE TIME HAS COME بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ My dear brother, my dear sister, I want to use this medium to remind myself and you that another opportunity has come for us to examine our worship and hold firmly to the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah. We should be careful about introducing into the religion acts of worship that Allah and His Messenger ﷺ did not prescribe. What is Bidʿah? Bidʿah, in the religious sense, refers to introducing into the religion something for which there is no legitimate basis in the Qur'an or authentic Sunnah and treating it as an act of worship. It may look beautiful. It may sound spiritual. It may even be practised by many people. But the number of people doing something does not by itself make it part of the Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ warned us: “The worst of matters are those that are newly introduced, and every innovation is misguidance.” 📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim Therefore, when we are told to worship Allah in a particular way, we s...

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6382 . How to perform Ṣalāt al-Istikhārah Perform two rakʿahs of voluntary prayer with the intention of seeking Allah's guidance. There is no authentic hadith specifying that Sūrat al-Kāfirūn must be recited in the first rakʿah and Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ in the second . Therefore, one may recite whatever portions of the Qur'an are easy afte...

   FAJR REMINDER: WHAT WILL FLOW FOR YOU AFTER YOUR DEATH? Rabīʿ al-Akhīr 7, 1448 AH | 19 September 2026 When the early light of Islām began to shine through the message of the Prophet ﷺ, ʿUthmān ibn Maẓʿūn (Raḍiyallāhu ʿAnhu) was among those who hastened to embrace the truth. He was one of the early Muslims who supported the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and sacrificed for the sake of Allāh. His wife, Khawlah bint Ḥakīm as-Sulamiyyah (Raḍiyallāhu ʿAnha), was also among the early Muslims. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And the foremost are the foremost.” [Sūrah al-Wāqiʿah 56:10] ʿUthmān ibn Maẓʿūn was among the noble Companions. He was an early Muslim, a Muhājir, and a man whose life reflected devotion, sacrifice, and a sincere desire to draw closer to Allāh. He was deeply religious and desired to devote himself completely to worship. Because of this, he considered adopting tabattul —withdrawing from marriage and worldly pleasures in order to dedicate himself entirely to worship. But the Messenger o...

  FAJR REMINDER: COVERING THE ‘AWRAH IN PRAYER Rabī‘ al-Akhīr 6, 1448 AH (18 September 2026) Among the Shurūṭ aṣ-Ṣiḥḥah (conditions for the validity) of Ṣalāh is covering the ‘Awrah. Allah ﷻ says: “O Children of Ādam! Take your adornment at every prayer...” (Sūrah al-A‘rāf 7:31) Ibn ‘Abbās (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhumā) explained that what is meant by Zīnah (adornment) in this verse includes wearing clothing during prayer. [See: Tafsīr aṭ-Ṭabarī, 12/391] But what exactly is the ‘Awrah? In the terminology of the jurists, the ‘Awrah refers to those parts of the body that must be covered and whose exposure is prohibited in circumstances where covering is required. The details differ between men and women and according to the circumstances. [See: Al-Mawsū‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah , 24/173] Ṣalāh is an act of worship in which the servant stands before his Lord. Therefore, a Muslim should approach prayer with proper covering, dignity, humility, and modesty. The prayer is not merely a physical ...

  DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER Yaum As-Sabt | 8th day of Rabee-uth-Thaani, 1448 AH | Saturday, 19th September, 2026 EEMAAN SHOULD PRODUCE RIGHTEOUS ACTIONS Bismillāh. It is important to always remember that Eemaan is not merely something we claim with our tongues or keep in our hearts. Genuine Eemaan should be reflected in our actions and character. The Qur’an repeatedly connects Eemaan with righteous deeds. ALLAH Azzawajal says: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ “Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds…” This expression appears repeatedly throughout the Qur’an, showing the close connection between belief and righteous action. ALLAH Azzawajal says: وَالْعَصْرِ ۝ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ ۝ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ “By time! Indeed, mankind is in loss, except those who believe, do righteous deeds, encourage one another to truth, and encourage one another to patience.” (Qur’an...

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 🌹 MESSAGE OF LOVE [- Part 2 of 2 -] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHEN WORRY BECOMES HEAVY… SEND SALĀH UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ Ubayy ibn Ka'b رضي الله عنه was one of the beloved Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He loved the Prophet ﷺ deeply. One day, he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a remarkable question. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, I send a lot of salāh upon you. How much of my supplication should I devote to sending blessings upon you?” The Prophet ﷺ said: “As much as you wish.” Ubayy رضي الله عنه asked: “A quarter?” The Prophet ﷺ replied: “As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.” He asked: “Half?” The Prophet ﷺ replied: “As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.” He asked: “Two-thirds?” Again, the Prophet ﷺ replied: “As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.” Then Ubayy رضي الله عنه said: “Then I will make all of my supplication for you.” The Prophet ﷺ then sa...

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 🌹 MESSAGE OF LOVE [- Part 1 of 2 -] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE OLD MAN AND THE GIFT OF SALĀH UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ Long ago, imagine an old man living in Madinah. His name was Abu Sa'eed. He was poor. His eyes were weak. His body had become frail with age. He had very little of this world. But there was one thing his heart possessed in abundance: ❤️ Love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Every day, wherever he went, his tongue remained moist with salāh upon the Prophet ﷺ. While walking, he would say: اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ Allāhumma ṣalli wa sallim ʿalā nabiyyinā Muḥammad. “O Allah, send Your blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.” He would say it while sitting. He would say it while eating. He would say it before sleeping. His tongue never seemed to grow tired of sending blessings upon the one he loved. Then one day, a terrible problem came. The old man owned a small piece of land. It was all he had. A wealth...
