 ﷽ *Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 77:* أَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ Know they (Jews) not that Allāh knows what they conceal and what they reveal?  ﷽ *Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 78:* وَمِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا أَمَانِيَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ And there are among them (Jews) unlettered people, who know not the Book, but they trust upon false desires and they do nothing but conjecture. *COMMENTARY* The argument of i. 76 is continued. The Jews wanted to keep back knowledge, but what knowledge had they? Many of them, even if they could read, were no better than illiterates, for they knew not their own true Scriptures, but read into them what they wanted, or at best their own conjectures. They palmed off their own writings for the Message of Allāh. Perhaps it brought them profit for the time being: but it was a miserable profit if they "gained the whole world and lost their own souls" (Gospel...

*The Custodians of Allah's Words* There are people in this world that each and everyone of us should love and admire. I call them the custodians of Allah's words. They are the people who memorize the Qur-ān. When Allah says he will protect his Book, those people are among the protectors of the Qur-ān. They preserve it and keep it safe in their memories. If today someone is to destroy all the copies of the Qur-ān. Those people can bring back millions copies within days. Try to have at least one or two of your children to be among the people who keep and reserve the Qur-ān. Alhamdulillah some people are already doing that. No glory and honour can be compared to this one. Just to be known as the custodian of the Qur-ān is enough. To all those who memorize the Qur-ān or some part of it. May Allah Ta'alah help you and guide you so that you keep the amanah giving to you safe. Amin

﷽ *WATER* Rasūlullāh  ﷺ  has stated, “There is no sadaqah more rewarding than [providing] water.” [Al-Bayhaqī] ●Rasūlullāh  ﷺ  stated, “Whichever Muslim quenches the thirst of another Muslim, Allāh will grant him drink from Ar-Rahīq Al-Makhtūm.” (Abū Dāwūd) Ar-Rahīq Al-Makhtūm is a special wine of Jannah which has been promised for the special servants – the Abrār (the righteous). "Allāh Ta‘ālā says, Verily the Abrār will be in bounties, upon couches looking on. You will recognise the radiance of bounties in their faces. They will be given pure sealed wine to drink, the seal of which is musk. It is for this that the competitors should compete". (83:22-26 ●Rasūlullāh ﷺ  also advised providing water as a form of Īsāl-uth-Thawāb. After the demise of his mother, Sayyidunā Sa‘d Ibn ‘Ubādah رضي الله عنه  asked Rasūlullāh ﷺ  which Sadaqah would be most meritorious and rewarding. Rasūlullāh ﷺ  replied, “Providing water.” Sayyidunā Sa‘d رضي الل...

﷽ SALĀH - 14 (Janaza) جنازة Salatul Janzah is Fard Kafayah, that is, if one prays the prayer than all are bareeuz zimma [free of the responsiblity] otherwise all those who received the news but did not come are sinners. Jammat is not a condition for this prayer, it is sufficient even if one person prays, and to deny the fardiat, compulsion, of this salah is kufr, an act of disbelief. There are two parts of this Salah: 1) To say Allahu Akbar four times 2) Qayam which was three Sunnat Mukeda: Sana, Durood Shareef, and Duaa for the deceased Method of Namaze Janaza Intention : ( Niyyat) I intend to offer for Allah, four takbirs of funeral salat, with my praise for Allah and darood for Rasullah and prayer for this deceased person.

The prayer begins with first takbir of Allaho Akbar by Imam , [The Imam must say all the takbeer aloud whereas the muqtadee (followers) must repeat ...

﷽ *The Happiest Woman in the World* *(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)* *Part 10 of 2* *YOU WILL BE THE WINNER IN ALL SITUATIONS* "Is not morning close at hand?" You have to seek reward with Allāh. If some worry, distress or grief befalls you, remember that it is an expiation for sin. If you lose one of your children, remember that he will intercede for you before Allāh. If some disability or sickness befalls you, remember that it brings its own reward from Allāh, which is preserved with Him. Hunger, sickness and poverty all bring their own rewards from Allāh. Nothing is ever lost with Him. He keeps it as a trust with Him until He gives it to its owner in the Hereafter. "Prayer is guaranteed to bring tranquility and chase away worry." *{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}* *"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 27th day of Muharram, 1441AH (Thursday 26th September, 2019). *_HYPOCRISY AND IMPATIENCE CAN LEAD TO HELLFIRE _*. BismilLah. Imam Abu Huraira reported: We witnessed the battle of Khaibar along with the Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him. He said concerning a man who claimed to be a Muslim, “He is among the people of Hellfire.” When the battle began, the man fought so fiercely that he was inflicted with many wounds.  I said, “O Messenger of ALLAH, was it this man you said is among the people of the Hellfire? Indeed, he fought so bravely and was killed.” The Prophet said, “He will go to Hellfire.” Some of the people began to have doubts as someone said he was alive although severely wounded. When the night came, the man lost his patience and he killed himself. The Prophet was informed and he said, “ALLAH is greater! I bear witness that I am the servant of ALLAH and HIS Messenger.” HE ordered Bilal to make an announcement a...

*Everything in life is pre-written but with Du'a, it can be re-written.* A beautiful life does not just happen, it is built daily by prayer, humility, sacrifice and hard work. Prayer is invisible but it makes the impossible possible. It’s Allah’s Job to work the wonders. Our part is simple: pray, believe and wait.  *Ad-du'a, the sword of muslims!* Du'as can open doors which you thought were forever closed... Never doubt the millions of things a single du'a can change or help to achieve. Make sure your food is good (halaal and bought with halaal earnings), and you will be one whose du'as are answered. Keep praying for what you want. Impossibility and possibility are merely concepts of your mind. To Allah nothing is impossible. Never give up making du'a to Allah. It may not happen now, it may not happen next month but it will happen when Allah knows is best for you. If you ever feel like giving up, remember that there's someone out there tha...

﷽ SALĀH - 13 (Eid) عيد The Eid Prayer has two rak'ah to perform in the normal way, with the only addition of six takbirs, three of them in the beginning of the first rak'ah, and three of them just before 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 takbir of Tahrimah (Allahu Akbar). You should raise your hands up to the ears, and reciting the takbir, you give a little pause during which you should recite Thana' (Subhanak Allahumma.......)· After the completion of Thana' the Imam will recite takbir (Allahu Akbar) three times, and after reciting each Takbir (Allahu Akbar) in a low voice, you should bring your hands down and leave them earthwards. But, after the third takbir, you should set them at the level of your navel as you do in the normal prayer. After these three takbirs the Imam will recite the Holy Qur'...

﷽ *AR-RAHĪQ AL-MAKHTOUM (The Pure Nectar). A Treaties On Prophet Muhammad's Biography.* *Part 40* *POLYTHEISTS' ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PROPHET (Blessings and Peace be upon him)* The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) was a noble and widely respectable man who was of a unique character. Both opponents and proponents held him high regard. Only villainous people dared to offend or upset him, though he was under the protection of Abu Tālib who was a great figure in Mecca by lineage and social status. So it was difficult for anyone to encroach on the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him), the thing which perturbed and disoriented Quraish very much. This led them to think of adopting the policy of negotiations with the major protector, Abu Tālib. This attitude was seemingly serious and wise but implicitly threatening and defiant. THE DEPUTATION OF QURAISH GOES TO ABU TĀLIB Ibn Is'hāq said: "Some prominent people of Quraish went to Abu Tālib and said: ...
