 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 28th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Thursday 22nd December. 2022). *_PATIENCE IN SEEKING ALLAH'S MERCY AND FORGIVENESS_*. Bismillah. ALLAH tells us, and reinforces it with an oath to be patient in all we do and also encourages fellow Muslims to be patient in all affairs they find themselves,  *ALLAH says* 1.“By Al‑‘Asr (the time). 2. Verily, man is in loss, 3. Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al‑Ma‘roof) which ALLAH has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al‑Munkar) which ALLAH has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in ALLAH’s Cause during preaching HIS religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad)” [al-‘Asr 103].  ALLAH is always with those who are patient. ALLAH did not say in the Quran HE...

DO NOT CURSE OR ABUSE ANYONE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 27th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Wesnesday 21st December, 2022). *_DO NOT CURSE OR ABUSE ANYONE_*. BismilLāhir Rahmamir Raheem.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: وَلَعْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَقَتْلِهِ وَمَنْ رَمَى مُؤْمِنًا بِكُفْرٍ فَهُوَ كَقَتْلِهِ Cursing a believer is like killing him and charging a believer with unbelief is like killing him. Sahih Bukhari 5754. Abu Hurairah may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: لَا يَنْبَغِي لِصِدِّيقٍ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَعَّانًا It is not befitting the truthful that they curse others. Sahih Muslim 2597. Abdullah ibn Mas’ud said: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلَا اللَّعَّانِ وَلَا الْفَاحِشِ وَلَا الْبَذِيءِ The believer does not taunt others, he does not curse others, he does not use profanity, and he does not abuse...

TO SIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM IN LIFE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 26th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Tuesday 20th December. 2022). *_TO SIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM IN LIFE_*. BismilLah.  First of all, what was the difference between our grandfather Aadam (AS) and Iblis (The cursed Satan)? Aadam A.S, admitted his sin and asked forgiveness but Iblis was arrogant and said he was better than Aadam A.S. None of us is perfect, and because of this, we all make mistakes. In fact, even though the prophets never committed major sins, even they made mistakes. We learn this from the very start of the creation of man with Aadam Alayhi Salaam.  When Aadam A.S ate from the forbidden tree, he disobeyed ALLAH. But he was not the only one to disobey ALLAH. The shaytan, Iblis, also disobeyed ALLAH when ALLAH commanded him to bow down to Aadam but he refused. So, if they both did wrong, how did one become a great man and prophet, while the other became the greatest enemy of ALLAH? The difference was that Iblis w...

ARE YOU FASTING TODAY?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 25th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Monday 19th December, 2022). *_ARE YOU FASTING TODAY?_*. BismilLāhir Rahmanir Raheem. Yes, I accept the blame if you forgot to fast today as I should have reminded you yesterday BUT you can continue as you read this as it's not too late even if you didn't intend for it.  Basically,  the purpose of fasting is to develop the quality of righteousness (taqwa), inwardly and outwardly, by abstaining from sinful deeds and training ourselves to control our thoughts and desires. Fasting is a deeply spiritual practice that is meant to benefit us in body, mind, pietyheart. ALLAH says: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may become righteous. Qur'an  2:183. The word taqwa comes from the root meaning “to guard” ...

THE BLESSING OF ISLAM Are we grateful for it?

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *THE BLESSING OF ISLAM* ➖➖➖ *Are we grateful for it?* ➖➖➖ The greatest blessing of Allah  ﷻ for his slaves in this Dunya is the blessings of Islam. As Allah ﷻ says  *أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدۡرَهُۥ لِلۡإِسۡلَٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡقَٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ* _So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah . Those are in manifest error._ [39:22] _ This blessing of Islam allows us to worship Allah ﷻ as he commanded us to worship Him and allows us to draw nearer to Him, if we didn't have it we would be of those who Allah ﷻ addressed *وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ* _And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the He...

TWO MAJOR CAUSE OF ZINĀ - MARRIED & SINGLE

 *TWO MAJOR CAUSE OF ZINĀ - MARRIED & SINGLE* There was a woman by the name of Hind *al-Khus al-Iyadiyyah. She was one of the wealthy woman in the pre Islamic times, well known for her intelligence, wit,* eloquence and words of wisdom. Inspite of being a woman of position and honour amongst her people, she commited adultery with her slave boy. People asked her: “Of all people, what made you commit adultery with your slave boy *whereas you are a leading woman of your tribe? Why not with a free person instead?”* So she replied: “The factors which prompted me to commit adultery and that too with a slave, were two, one was “Qurbul Wisaal” (this refers to being close physically, that is they had easy *accessibility to each other due to living in the same place). The second factor was* “Tulus Sawaad” (which could be translated as “long chats”). (Risaalatul Mustarshideen – Pg: 177) *These two factors are the highly inflammable ingredients that cause explosion and destruction.* *Lesson...

THE SECRECY OF PRIVATE MATTERS (Guarding Secrets)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 24th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Sunday 18th December. 2022). *_THE SECRECY OF PRIVATE MATTERS (Guarding Secrets)_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH, the Exalted, says: "And fulfil (every) covenant. Verily! The covenant will be questioned about.'' (17:34). Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of ALLAH (PBUH) said, "One of The most evil of the people to ALLAH on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who consorts with his wife and then publicizes her secret.''[Saheeh Muslim]. Islam treats conjugal union as a sacred and secret act, both in social and moral terms. Indeed, the sanctity of conjugal rights contributes to the consolidation of moral norms and social cohesion. Yet, what passes between wife and husband on the consummation night is usually taken in a light vein in our societies. In the morning, both of them relate their sexual experience to their friends respectively. This is moral indece...

IMPORTANCE OF TAWHEED

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 22nd day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Saturday 17th December. 2022). *_IMPORTANCE OF TAWHEED_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH commanded the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam in Qur'an 18:110 to say to Mankind, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your LORD is ONE. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his LORD - let him do RIGHTEOUS WORK (in accordance with the prescribed laws of ALLAH,) and NOT ASSOCIATE in the worship of his Lord anyone." ALLAHU AKBAR.  This is what is meant by seeking the pleasure of ALLAH alone with no associate or partner. These are the two basic features of acceptable deeds: their intent is for the sake of ALLAH alone, and are done in accordance with the way of the Messenger of ALLAH. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Sa`id bin Abi Fadalah Al-Ansari, who was one of the Companions, said: "I heard the Messenger of ALLAH say, ALLAH will gather the first and the last on the Day of Resur...

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN WEAKEN OUR EEMAAN

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 20th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Wednesday 14th December. 2022). *_SOCIAL MEDIA CAN WEAKEN OUR EEMAAN_*. BismilLah.  For some time now, I've noticed how shaitan is deviating a lot of our brothers and sisters into an act of disobedience to ALLAH. Among the worse is to see Muslims watching and sharing pornographic images, videos of unnecessary jokes from TikTok/ Facebook etc into Islamic groups WHY? How can you be part of these satanic traps? Why are you sharing it with others if you decided to disobey ALLAH? For ALLAH'S sake, if you don't have anything good to do online, please close your Facebook/Tiktok account that's better because Facebook/Tiktok is now a jungle of the beast and they are hunting our eemaan down. Imagine you dying today and having those filthy things on your page in your grave, so please stay away from Facebook and other social networks if you are not using them to learn the deen. Stop sharing your photo...
