 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 28th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Monday 20th March 2023). *_ARE WE PLANNING TO HELP OTHERS FOR ALLAH SAKE IN THIS BLESSED MONTH OF RAMADHAN?_* BismilLah.  In shaa ALLAH, Ramadhan may start on Wednesday or Thursday coming subject to moon sighting.  If you are blessed with wealth, good health, or knowledge, then we should acknowledge HIS blessing by sharing with those who are less fortunate. Some may need direct financial aid. Others may need guidance in the form of sound sincere advice. Others may need comfort and a good word. All are forms of Sadaqa that will count in our favour. Let's look into our relatives or family and help those who are certain to struggle in this blessed month.  As we strive to sight the moon tomorrow evening, I want to advise that wherever you are, respect and follow the decision of your central masjid imam or management so that with unity we can start with BismilLah and end with AlhamdulilLah.

 *BE BROTHERS* *"The Prophet (ﷺ) said:*  "Beware of suspicion, *for suspicion is the worst of false tales;* ...and do not look for the others' faults and *do not spy, and do not be jealous of one* another, and do not desert (cut your relation with) one *another, and do not hate one another; and*  O Allah's worshipers! *Be brothers (as Allah has ordered* you!")" [Bukhari 6064] ...oh honorable brothers, don't spy on your brothers nor look out for their mistake because you yearn *refutation,* ...do not cut relationship with your brothers because they hold different views with you in matters of *the Deen,* ...do not hate each other or wish evil towards him, or despise him because he erred in matters of the Deen!

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 27th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Sunday 19th March 2023). *_AS RAMADHAN APPROACHES, CAN I COOK FOR A HUSBAND WHO CHOOSES NOT TO FAST WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON BUT STILL CLAIMS HE IS A MUSLIM WITHOUT EVEN PRAYING_*. BismilLah.  A wife do not owe the duty of cooking or serving food or drink to her spouse who does not fast during the days of Ramadhan, if he does so without having any valid reason (of sickness, or old age) that would excuse him from fasting. Since we are not allowed to condone or help someone who is committing a sin by serving him food and drinks, you are also guilty of a sin if you do so. It is common knowledge in Islam that skipping fasts without valid reason of sickness and travelling difficulties due to old age is considered a cardinal sin  if a husband does not have valid excuses, not to fast. The husband is guilty of even a graver sin by not praying; even greater than all of these is his denial of his obligation t...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YawmulJumuat. 25th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Friday 17th March 2023). *_MISSING JUMUAT AND OFFERING ZUHUR SALAAT_*. BismilLah  AlhamdulilLah, for granting us another blessed day of the week. It's important we set our priorities this morning right before we leave our homes for our daily sustenance. We must have within our agenda the intention to go to the masjid for the jumuat salaat and, more importantly, get to the masjid early before the imam arrives. When you enter the masjid, offer your two rakaats greetings of the masjid, then sit down, reciting your suuratul kahf or salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam till the imam comes. As soon as the imam says Assalaamu Alaikum warahmatullah and you respond, we are to listen to the imam silently without any act, or else we lose our share of the rewards of the jumuat. Switch off your phone and sit silently and attentively as if you are offering salaat. There is no specific dua when the ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 24th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Thursday 16th March 2023). *_ALLAH WOULD ONLY ACCEPT HALAAL EARNINGS AS SADAQAH_*. BismilLah.  The Encouragement to Spend Honest Money for ALLAH'S Sake . ALLAH says in Qur'an 2:267; يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ أَنفِقُواْ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الَارْضِ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُواْ الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِأخِذِيهِ إِلاَّ أَن تُغْمِضُواْ فِيهِ O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which WE have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. ALLAH commands HIS believing servants to spend in charity, as Ibn Abbas stated, from the pure, honest money that they earned and from the fruits and vegetables that HE has grown for them in the land. Ibn Abbas said, "ALLAH commanded them to ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 23rd day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Wednesday 15th March 2023). *_ADVICE AND WARNING FROM ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for granting us another day. In yesterday's reminder, we studied from Qur'an 2:262 that we must avoid any form of abuse on those we support within our family or to any needy. ALLAH then continued on verse 263-264 as follows;  قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَآ أَذًىۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ  Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And ALLAH is free of need and Forbearing. Verse 264 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِى يُنفِقُ مَالَهُۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۖ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَيۡهِ تُرَابٌ فَأَصَابَهُۥ وَابِلٌ فَتَرَكَهُۥ صَلۡدًاۖ لَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ مِّمَّا كَسَبُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 22nd day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Tuesday 14th March 2023). *_THERE MUST BE NO SHOW OFF IN OUR SADAQAH_*. BismilLah.  In yesterday's reminder, I shared the saying of ALLAH in Qur'an 2:261 that we should spend our money or wealth as an investment with ALLAH by supporting our relatives and the needy. When you go to the next verse that's Qur'an 2:262, ALLAH then says, ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذًىۙ لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ  Those who spend their wealth in the way of ALLAH and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. This is a serious warning to those of us who give sadaqah to our relatives in particular then follow it with complaints or making ...

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *PREPARATION FOR RAMADAN-2️⃣2️⃣* ➖➖➖ Beware of The Sinister Thief: Social Media ➖➖➖ Social media has transformed our way of life. While social media may offer some  benefits, research has shown that regular use of social media causes mental health  problems, addictions, lower attention spans, physical health problems, poor sleep  quality, relationship problems and more. *However, the most harmful effect of social  media is on our hearts and our relationship with Allah _سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى‎_.* Today, one of the biggest obstacles in our journey to Allah is social media and the  entertainment industry. Thus, before the month of Ramaḍān begins, it is vital that we  reassess our relationship with social media and reflect on its harms. *Ramaḍān is the  month in which we should undertake a much needed ‘detox’. Psychologists are now  advocating ‘fasting from social media’. If we could do the same in this month for our  spiritual health...
