 *Lifetime Chance* [[-- Episode 1 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Water is a blessing from Allah (swt) that we often take for granted. Yes. Only people who are seriously thirsty and have no access to drinking water can tell how it feels. Sure! Not all of us can afford building wells or boreholes for entire communities – but how many of us take it as a point of duty to buy a bottle of water or a bag of sachet water, give it out to people as sadaqag? The rewards of giving water are multiplied even further when it's given to someone who desperately needs it. In fact, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked, "Which charity is best?" He replied, "[Providing] water"'. 📚[Abu Dawud] Muslim Faithful, Little things we ignore can actually skyrocket our chances of entering paradise with ease. Imagine yourself buying a bag of sachet water or bottle water (at least twice or once in a week), drop it in your place of work, office or shop and tell people to c...

 *Allah's Question* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) asks a powerful question in the Quran: أَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ سَاجِدࣰا وَقَآئِمࣰا يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَيَرۡجُواْ رَحۡمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ "Is the one who prays in the dark of the night, bowing and prostrating, who fears the Hereafter and hopes for his Lord's mercy, is that person like the one who does not?..." 📚(Quran 39:9) The answer is clear: No! They are not the same! Allah (swt) knows how hard it is. HE knows the war you have with your bed. HE sees you fighting your tired body and your sleepy eyes, all just to worship HIM. This is why Allah HIMSELF praises the people of Tahajjud. He says they are never, ever like those who squandered the entire night sleeping. My People, The good news is that, when you pray Tahajjud, you are not an ordinary worshipper before Allah (swt). Yes. You are in the special list of Allah. You are doing something that makes you stand out. To end this r...

 This will Save you ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم My dear brother and dear sister. Listen to me very carefully. This is serious. More serious than you think. Allah (swt) is the Most Merciful. He forgives many sins. If you miss a prayer, He can forgive you. If you lie to Him, He can forgive you. Sins between you and Allah—He may forgive if He wills. But there is one kind of sin Allah does NOT forgive. Not without your victim's forgiveness first. What sin? Sins against other people. The rights of His creatures. My People, You see your tongue? Hmmnn.... Never allowed it to your own fire. Backbiting (Gheebah): Is saying something about a brother or sister in their absence that they would hate to hear. Even if it is true. Slander (Buhtan): Is saying something bad about them that is not true. This is even worse. Gossip: Is spreading talk that hurts their honor. These sins? Allah (swt) will NOT delete them. Not unless the person you hurt forgives you first. Now, Think of your...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Infitar. Verse 14. وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ "And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire." After mentioning the reward of the righteous in verse 13, ALLAH Azzawajal immediately mentions the fate of the opposite group: وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ "And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire." This contrast between the righteous and the wicked is a common style in the Qur'an. By mentioning both reward and punishment, ALLAH Azzawajal balances hope and fear in the hearts of believers. Meaning of "Al-Fujjār" (الفُجَّار) The word Fujjār is the plural of Fājir (فاجر), which refers to a person who habitually disobeys ALLAH and openly transgresses HIS limits. The root word Fajara means "to burst forth" or "break th...

 FAJR REMINDER: ITS LOCATION AND PURPOSE By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 22, 1447 (8-June-2026) The Ka’bah stands at the heart of Makkah and is regarded as the most sacred site in Islām. It is the Qiblah toward which Muslims across the world direct their faces and hearts in worship. Five times every day, believers turn toward it in humble devotion as they perform their Ṣalāt, seeking the Pleasure of Allāh Alone. Every year, Muslims travel from different parts of the globe to visit the Ka’bah, performing Ṭawāf and fulfilling the rites of ‘Umrah and Ḥajj. The significance of this blessed House is highlighted in the Statement of Allāh (ﷻ): “In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm; whosoever enters it, he attains security. And Ḥajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allāh, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision, and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Ḥajj (pilgrimage to Makka...

 Fire on Ur Tongue ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Listen carefully, my brother, my sister. Your good deeds are like a beautiful garden. Every prayer, every charity, every kind act is a strong, healthy tree in that garden. But there is a fire that can burn your whole garden to ashes in seconds. That fire is your tongue. Yes! When you speak about a Muslim in their absence—in a way they would hate—you dig a grave. Yes. You dig a grave for your own good deeds. You then, throw your beautiful deeds into that grave and burn them. It burns fast, like fire burns dry leaves. It does not matter if what you said is true. If they would be hurt to hear it, it is backbiting (Gheebah). It is a grave sin. If what you said is not true, it is even worse. It is slander (Buhtan). This is a major, major sin. It is like a cancer in our community today. Think about this disease in our time: You see a brother and sister somewhere. Your heart says, "They have done a bad thing." You then sa...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Infitar. Verse 12. يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ "They know whatever you do." Commentary (Tafseer): This verse completes ALLAH'S description of the recording angels: وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ "Indeed, over you are guardians." (82:10) كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ "Noble scribes." (82:11) يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ "They know whatever you do." (82:12) The meaning is that these angels are fully aware of the deeds ALLAH has commanded them to record. They witness and record our actions with complete accuracy by ALLAH'S permission. This does not mean that the Angels possess independent knowledge of the unseen. Rather, ALLAH Azzawajal enables them to observe and record the deeds of HIS servants. Th...

 FAJR REMINDER: BUILDING THE ANCIENT HOUSE By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 21, 1447 (7-June-2026) Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) took his son, Ismā'īl, with him to build the House of Allāh (the Ka‘bah). This contains a profound lesson for parents. Children often learn through observation, and their parents are usually their greatest role models. Therefore, parents should strive to set good examples and allow their children to witness and participate in righteous deeds. Involving children in acts of worship helps nurture faith and allows them to share in the reward. From an early age, they should be encouraged to establish prayer, observe voluntary fasts, give charity, and engage in other acts of obedience to Allāh. As Prophet Ibrāhīm and Ismā‘īl (‘Alayhimā Salām) raised the foundations of the House, stone upon stone, they continuously supplicated to Allāh, asking Him to accept their efforts. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And (remember) when Ibrāhīm and (his son) Isma’īl were raising the foundation...

 *Islamic 💕 Letter* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Brothers and Sisters in Islam, every Friday, a special treasure is distributed. The key to unlocking it is not wealth or status, but something 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...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Infitar. كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ "Noble scribes (recording angels)." Commentary: This verse explains who the "guardians" (لَحَافِظِينَ) mentioned in the previous verse are. They are Angels whom ALLAH Azzawajal describes with two noble qualities: 1. كِرَامًا (Kirāman) – Noble They are honored servants of ALLAH Azzawajal, distinguished by purity, obedience, and dignity. ALLAH Azzawajal says elsewhere: بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ "Rather, they are honored servants." (21:26). The Angels never disobey ALLAH Azzawajal and carry out HIS commands perfectly. ALLAH Azzawajal says: لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ "They do not disobey ALLAH in what HE commands them, and they do wh...

Commentary: After reminding mankind of the reality of the Day of Judgment and rebuking those who deny accountability, ALLAH Azzawajal informs us that none of our deeds are lost or forgotten. The "guardians" mentioned in this verse are the angels assigned by ALLAH Azzawajal to watch over and record our actions. ALLAH Azzawajal says that every person has noble angels accompanying him or her throughout his life. They are not merely observers; they faithfully record every deed, statement, and action by ALLAH'S command. This verse serves as a powerful reminder that although we may be alone from the sigh...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE KHUTBAH AND ITS CONDITIONS By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 19, 1447 (5-June-2026) The Fuqahā’ (jurists) of the four Madhāhib are reported to have agreed that the Jumu’ah Khutbah (Friday Sermon) is an essential condition for the validity of the Friday prayer. It is part of the remembrance of Allāh that He commands in His Saying: “O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Ṣalāt (Prayer) on Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allāh [Jumu’ah religious talk (i.e. Khutbah) and Ṣalāt (prayer)] and leave of business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!” [Sūrah Al-Jumu’ah (62): 9] The Jumu’ah Khutbah has two important conditions. First, it must be delivered after the time for Jumu’ah prayer begins. Second, unlike the ‘Eid Khutbah, which is given after the prayer, the Jumu’ah Khutbah must be delivered before the prayer. There should also not be a long gap between the Khutbah and the prayer. Rather, the pra...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 3 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Offering obligatory prayer behind someone establishing nafil prayer:* There is nothing wrong with one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering an optional prayer. Evidence: Mu adh ibn Jabal (r.a.) used to pray Isha’ with the Prophet (pbuh), then he would go back to his people and lead them in praying ‘Isha’, and the prayer was optional for him and obligatory for them. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “In this Hadith, we see that it is permissible for one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering a optional prayer, because Mu‘adh used to offer the obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), so he discharged his duty, then he would pray the second time with his people, so it was voluntary for him and obligatory for them. This is stated clearly elsewhere than in Muslim, and this is permissible according to Ash-Shafa‘i (may...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 2 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Maghrib behind one who is praying ‘Isha’:* Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The correct view on this is that if a person comes (to the mosque) and the imam is praying ‘Isha’, whether he is with a group or not, he should join the imam, with the intention of praying Maghrib. It does not matter if the imam’s intention is different from that of one who is praying behind him, because the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but that which he intended.” If they join him in the second rak’ah, they can say the tasleem with him, because they will have prayed three rak’ahs, and it does not matter if they sit for the Tashahhud during their first rak’ah. If they join him in the first rak’ah, then when he stands up for the fourth rak’ah, they can sit and recite the Tashahhud and say the tasleem, then join him in what remains of ‘Isha prayer....

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 1 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Asr behind an Imam Praying Maghrib:* It is not permissible to observe ‘Asr prayer behind an Imam observing Maghrib prayer; rather one should pray Maghrib with that particular Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars and he does not have to repeat the Maghrib prayer after praying ‘Asr according to the most correct opinion. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah said that he should pray Maghrib with the Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars. He does not have to repeat Maghrib.....This is the saying of Ibn Abbas, the Shafi’i madhab. This is more correct (amongst all opinions on this), for Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) did not make it obligatory on the person to pray a swalaat twice if he has feared Allah as much as he can [Allah knows best]). 📚(From the book ‘What Should You Do in the Following Situations… ?’ by Majmooa Fatawi Ibn Taimiyyah) *Praying...
