﷽ *Surah An-Nisa, Verse 17:* إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبٍ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise. ﷽ *Surah An-Nisa, Verse 18:* وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبْتُ الْآنَ وَلَا الَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ أُولَٰئِكَ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: "Now I repent;" nor of those who die while they are disbelievers.

﷽ Series On The Incomparable Personality and Appearance of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) *Episode 23: HIS SENSE OF HUMOUR* People think that Rasūlullāh had nothing to do with humour, rather He was all strict and stringency. This perception is wrong, Rasūlullāh was the one with the finest sense of humour, the likes of which again cannot be seen in anyone. His sense of humour was not vulgar in any sense or anything that would debase or make fun of someone, rather it was fine. “ Once a man asked Rasūlullāh for an animal to ride. He replied that He would give him the baby of a she-camel to ride on. The man asked ‘What would you do with a she-camel baby?’ Rasūlullāh replied, ‘Is there any camel which is not born of a she-camel?’ Sallallāhu Alayhi wa Sallam. 👉 Anas (RADIYALLAHU ANHU) *Thought For The Day* Do not feel satisfied with action, while being desolate of knowledge and do not feel satisfied with knowledge, whilst being heedless of actions. Rather, combine the two, even if your...

May Allah bless the brother and his family. Here is the story as is: Like most guys at 25 I just wanted to get married even though I didn’t have two pennies to rub together, times were really tuff for me back then. It’s been around 6 years since I got married. My wife came from a very wealthy background Masha Allāh, I however did not. My wife was very understanding with regards to this and wanted to marry me regardless. Alhamdullilah I got married in East London at a cost of £500. We arrived back to my parents’ house where we stayed for the next 2 years. As I mentioned earlier I had very little to my name, I couldn’t afford a bed to sleep on, and I was stubborn to ask my parents for he...

﷽ *Surah An-Nisa, Verse 15:* وَاللَّاتِي يَأْتِينَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِن نِّسَائِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنكُمْ فَإِن شَهِدُوا فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّىٰ يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ أَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلًا And those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them or Allah ordains for them some (other) way. *COMMENTARY* Most commentators understand this to refer to adultery or fornication; in that case they consider that the punishment was altered by the later verse, chapter xxiv, verse 2. To protect the honour of women, stricter evidence is required, i.e, the evidence of four instead of the usual two witnesses. It is the same for adultery (see chapter xxiv, verse 4). Keep them in prison until some definite order is received. Those who take the crime to be adultery or fornicatio...

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 2nd day of Ramadhan (Saturday 25th April, 2020). *_HOW TO REPAIR OUR WEAK RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CREATOR IN THIS BLESSED MONTH_*. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Ramadaan is a blessed month for all of us to find any possible means to correct our relationship with our Creator, ALLAH. It's important we strive to better our ways of life and seek guidance from ALLAH not to go back to our sinful acts after Ramadaan. There are ways and tools from ALLAH to aid us from any satanic influences because definitely sheitan will be released from prison and he will be like a wounded lion seeking to get back his lost mates due to Ramadaan. The most effective way is to learn or study the Qur'an, Recite it regularly and ponder on the meanings. Tranquility then descends and our hearts become soft and re-establish its connection to it Creator. To get optimum benefit, remind yourself that ALLAH is speaking to you in the Quran. People are described in differe...

﷽ Series On The Incomparable Personality and Appearance of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) *Episode 22: HIS MANNERISM* Rasūlullāh was the epitome of good manners. Every action that He undertook in life represented the highest morals and manners that a person could exhibit. He was an Ideal being in terms of manners and ethics, the likes of which the world has not seen. As one of His companions notes about His manners:  “Rasūlullāh did not swear at anyone, nor was He rude, nor did He curse anyone. If He desired to reprimand someone, He would say: ‘What is wrong with him, may dust be cast in his face!” Thus if a Muslim is to give an example of the manners of someone, there would be none more suitable than Rasūlullāh.

﷽ *Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage* *Episode 91* *15 WAYS TO CORRECT YOUR WIFE WITHOUT HURTING HER* Many men hurt their wives in the name of correction. They speak harshly; they approach rashly and they can be very brutal. Lots of women are living their lives in bitterness and anger due to the careless ways their husbands have been talking to them over time. Here, you will be able to know the right ways to talk to your wife without hurting her: 1. LOWER THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE: Don’t shout at her, she is not your housemaid or your child. Correct her with a calm tone in love. 2. DO IT IN LOVE: Correction should be done in love. If done in any other way, it turns to criticism and condemnation. 3. DON’T CRITICIZE: Stop criticizing her. Rather, correct in love. Many will say it's constructive criticism. It means disapproval by pointing out errors and mistakes. Correction is the act of offering better options to mistakes.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YaumulJumuat, 1st day of Ramadhan (Friday 24th April, 2020). *_Rulings regarding wet dreams in Ramadan_*.  BismilLah. AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this years Ramadhan. If you experience a wet dream during the day in Ramadhan, your fasting is still sound and is not affected by the wet dream, because you didn't do that intentionally. However, it is obligatory for you to perform the ritual purification (ghusl) so as to perform the prayer. Let me add that during fasting days or times we should try to avoid sleeping during the day and maximize our ibaadaat for more rewards, even at work or home we can recite the Quran from our mobile devices and lots of zikir. Recite other azkar like SubhaanAllah, Walhamdulillah, Walaailaaha illallah. Wallahu Akbar etc. But if for some reason we need to sleep small let's try to recite aayatul Kursy, suuratul Ikhlas to Nas before sleeping in shaa ALLAH. Please check my WhatsApp status for t...
