 ﷽ *THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD* (A TREASURE CHEST OF REMINDERS) Episode 33 *DU'Ā (INVOCATION) RELIEVES DISTRESS* "... Certainly no one despairs of Allāh's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve." [Qur'an 12:87]. I have a righteous, devout friend whose wife was stricken with cancer. They had three children. He fell into despair and his world turned dark. One of the scholars advised him to pray qiyām al-layl and make du'ā' in the last part of the night, before dawn, as well as praying for forgiveness and reciting Qur-ān over Zamzam water for his wife. He continued to do these things, and his wife started to wash with that Zamzam water over which the Qur-ān had been recited. He used to sit with her from Fajr until sunrise, then from Maghrib (sunset) until 'Ishā' (evening), asking Allāh for forgiveness and supplicating to Him. Then Allāh took away her sickness and healed her, and made her hair and skin more beautiful than they had been before, an...

 ﷽ *Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar).* Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 51 *ATTEMPTS MADE TO CHECK THE ONWARD MARCH OF ISLAM* Having fully perceived that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) could never be desisted from his Call, Quraish, in a desperate attempt to quell the tidal wave of the Call, resorted to other cheap means acting from base motives: 1. Scoffing, degrading, ridiculing, belying and laughter-instigating cheap manners, all of which levelled at the new converts in general, and the person of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in particular, with the aim of dragging the spirit of despair into their morale, and slackening their ardent zealotry. They used to denounce the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as a man possessed by a jinn, or an insane person:  And they say: O you [Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ] to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'an)  has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man. [15:6]  or a liar practising witchcraft, And they (Arab pagans) wond...

 ﷽ *300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ* Number 178.  *The Messenger of Allah removes illness and difficulty e.g. the case of Imam Busayri, author of Qasida Burda.* • Imam Allama Zarqani writes: “In Sahih Muslim, one of the titles attributed to the  Messenger of Allah is ‘Shaafi’, meaning he removes illness and difficulty - and whatever  complication befalls the ummah, the Messenger of Allah removes it.” [Sharh Zarqani „ala al-Mawahib] • Qasida Burda (also known as Mawla Ya Salli), or the Poem of the Scarf, was written by  Imam Sharafuddin Busayri whilst he was suffering from paralysis. After the Imam had composed it, the Beloved Messenger of Allah graced his dream and asked him to recite Qasida Burdah to him. Then the Beloved Messenger placed his blessed scarf/cloak over the Imam. When the Imam awoke, he found the blessed cloak on him and his paralysis was cured.

﷽ *Today's First Hadīth is about Pledge of Allegiance!* حَدَّثَنَا  إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ  خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاشِعِ بْنِ  مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ مُجَاشِعٌ بِأَخِيهِ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ  إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ هَذَا مُجَالِدٌ يُبَايِعُكَ  عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، وَلَكِنْ أُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ ‏" ‏‏.‏  Narrated Abu `Uthman An-Nahdi:                         Mujashi (bin Mas`ud) took his brother Mujalid bin Mas'ūd to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "This is Mujalid  and he will give a pledge of allegiance to you for migration." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no migration  after the Conquest of Mecca, but I will take his pledge of allegiance for Islam."  Sahih Bukhari  (Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)) Reference : Sahih ...

﷽ *Surah Yusuf, Verse 21:* وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَىٰ أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ And he (the man) from Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable, may be he will profit us or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not. #COMMENTARY Joseph is now clear of his jealous brethren in the land of Canaan. The merchants take him to Egypt. In the city of Memphis (or whatever was the Egyptian capital then) he was exposed for sale by the merchants. The merchants had not miscalculated. There was a ready market for him; his handsome presence, his winning ways, his pare...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 23rd day of Rabi-ul Awwal. (Friday, 29th of October 2021). *_THE EVIL NATURE OF HYPOCRISY_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH and HIS Messenger has warned us seriously about Hypocrisy. It is a serious sickness and a great crime. The major form of hypocrisy is making an outward display of Islam whilst inwardly concealing kufr. Hypocrisy is more dangerous than kufr (disbelief) and the punishment for it is more severe, because it is kufr mixed with Islam and its harmful effects are greater. Hence ALLAH will put the hypocrites in the lowest level of Hell, as HE says:  “Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them (Quran 4:145). The hypocrites are always confused, always planning deceit and plots. Although outwardly they appear to be with the believers, inwardly they are with the kaafireen. So sometimes they are inclined towards the believers and sometimes they are inclined towards the ka...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Rabi-ul Awwal. (Thursday, 28th of October 2021). *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W), said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH will make it easy for him in the world and the Hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH will conceal his faults in the world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in our communities, encouraging others into good deeds without mocking anyone's er...

 *Deepthinking 11* _Silence_ Assalamu alaikum warhamatullah wabarakatuhu, good morning..   Only if we know the gravity of the harm our silence has lead to..  Whenever the nabiyy salallahu alaihi wa salaam was silent about a matter or an action, it implies that there's nothing wrong with such action..   Been silent is not "minding your business" .. They are two different concepts..   If you have time to sit and gossip about someone, isn't it easier that u correct such wrong...  And we should also be happy when people take time to correct us when we are wrong..  Whoever can tell you this or that is wrong is indeed a loved one..   They are the people who want to be with you in Jannah..  May Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us sincere friends whose silence on our wrong won't cause us destruction. Aameen Aameen  May Allah azza wa jaal grant us friends who will ignore our feelings to tell us the truth and correct us whenever ...

 ﷽ *THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD* (A TREASURE CHEST OF REMINDERS) Episode 31 *BEWARE OF DESPAIR AND FRUSTRATION* "... And He is Ever Most Merciful to the believers." [Qur'an 33:43]. A young man was jailed and his mother had no one else but him. She could not sleep and distress took hold of her completely. She wept until she could weep no more, then Allāh guided her to say, "Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā Billāh (there is no power and no strength except with Allāh)." She repeated these great words, which are one of the treasures of Paradise, and only a few days after she had despaired of her son ever coming out of jail, he was knocking at the door and she was filled with joy. Such is the reward of the one who puts his trust in Allāh, calls upon Him constantly and delegates all his affairs to Him. So you should recite this dhikr, "Lā hawla wa Lā quwwata illā Billāh (there is no power and no strength except with Allāh)," for these great words, are the sec...

Yesterday's Wives : Welcome my husband, hope the office was not stressful., your favourite food is ready, let me lead you to the bathroom first, then you take your dinner, you look so tired, am sure you'll be okay after taking your dinner, welcome my one and only.

 ﷽ *Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar).* Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Episode 49 *QURAISH'S REPRESENTATIVE NEGOTIATES WITH THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH* Shortly after the conversion of these two powerful heroes, Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib and 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him), the clouds of tyranny and oppression started to clear away and the  polytheists realized that it was no use meting out torture to the Muslims. They consequently began to direct their campaign to a different course. The authentic records of the biography of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) show that it had occurred to the Makkan leaders to credit Muhammad (Peace be upon him) with ambition. They, therefore, time and again plied him with temptation. One day some of the important men of Makkah gathered in the enclosure of Al-Ka'bah, and 'Utbah bin Rabi'a,  a chief among them, offered to approach the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and contract a bargain with him wher...

 ﷽ *DON'T BE SAD* Episode 202 *KNOWLEDGE* Ibn Hazm mentioned that from the benefits of knowledge is that it repels evil whispers from the soul and that it rids one off worries and troubles. This is especially true for the one who loves knowledge, who studies constantly, and who applies in practice what he learned. The student of knowledge should distribute his time between memorising, reading, revising, researching, and reflecting.
