 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ithnayn, 14th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Monday, 17th of January 2022). *_HOW TO DISCIPLINE OURSELVES TOWARDS OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH WITHIN BAD ENVIRONMENT_*. BismilLaah.  Man cannot benefit from what he has been told about goodness unless he himself takes an interest in that. Do you not know the story of the wife of Nooh and the wife of Loot, who were members of the households of two Prophets, one of whom was one of the Messengers of strong will? Imagine how these Prophets strove to guide their wives and how much guidance these wives received, but there was no interest on their part, so it was said to both of them:  “Enter the Fire along with those who enter!”[Quran 66:10].  Whereas the wife of Pharaoh, even though she was a member of the household of one of the greatest evildoers, she is presented by ALLAAH as an example to those who believe because she disciplined herself within evil environment. What's our excuse that because we live with th...

 ﷽ *REMINDER FOR SUNNĀH FASTING!* Tomorrow is Monday. Please, endeavour to fast and remind others. Fasting twice a week (i.e Monday and Thursday) helps keep our faith strong and our desires under control. It also keeps us more conscious of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). This is the formula for success given to us by our beloved prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). ✔️'Ā'ishah (R.A.) said, "The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) used to take care to fast on Mondays and Thursdays." (at-Tirmidhi) May Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) make it easy for us and accept it as an act of Ibadah (worship). May He also guide us through our little efforts and answer our positive prayers only if what we request will be of benefit to us both Here and the Hereafter. Ameen

A military expedition led by ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf was despatched to the habitation of  Bani Kalb in Doumat Al-Jandal in Sha‘ban 6 Hijri.

 ﷽ 300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ Number 257.  Every miracle of the previous Messengers is due to the light of the final Messenger of Allah. • Imam al-Qastalani quotes Ibn Marzuq regarding Imam Busayri‟s Qasida Burda:  “…Every miracle that every Messenger has brought, surely was only because it was an  extension to each one of them of the light of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give  him peace. How beautiful is his saying "surely was theirs only in connection to his light"  for it suggests that his light, may Allah bless him and give him peace, always remained  unchanged in him, and nothing of it was decreased. Had he said, "Surely it was part of his light", then it could have been imagined that he distributed it to them, and that perhaps nothing of it remained for him. All the signs given to each one of them was only theirs  through his light, may Allah bless him and give him peace, because he is a sun of excellence, and they are the plane...

If an addition is made to the prayer e.g. praying Dhuhr with 5 rakaa instead of 4, then the two additional prostrations for forgetfulness should be performed after saying “Assalaamu Alaikum”(TASLEEM). 2. If a prayer is performed with a lesser number of rakaa than is required, e.g. to pray 3 rakaa for D...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 12th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Saturday, 15th of January 2022). *_Meaning and Applying Istiqaamah_*  Bismillah. Istiqaamah is often translated to mean ‘uprightness, steadfastness and correctness.’ It comes from the root word قام (qaama) meaning ‘to rise’ or ‘to stand upright’ and from this we derive words like مستقيم(mustaqeem) as in ‘Siraat al-Mustaqeem’ (Straight Path). For the believer, Istiqaamah is a virtue that cannot be done without. It’s a quality that we continually strive to attain although we may fail at times. In this age where fitaan(tribulations) have become widespread and open sins are the norm, many people have lost the istiqaamah they once had in them – the strength to stay upon the straight path. Some tips on how to have istiqaamah: 1) Have a strong relationship with ALLAH: The best way is with HIS Wahi (revelation), the Qur’an. Ibn Taymiyyah said, “If you want to taste the sweetness of emaan, then upon you is the Book of A...
