 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 4th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Thusday, 19th October, 2023). HOW THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam SUCCEEDED in DIFFICULT TIMES continues. BismilLah.  Let's continue from our topic yesterday. We read the Prophet’s story hundreds of years after it was over. It is a successful story that contains one victory after another with a very positive final outcome. This positive experience masked all the difficult times in his life and we tend to overlook them when reading or relating the story, especially in the absence of deep analysis. The fact of the matter is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went through a lot of challenges and difficult times throughout his whole life. In one year, his uncle and his wife, who both supported him emotionally and physically, died. In the very same year, he was subjected to physical abuse from the people of Makkah. Surah Ad-Duha Consoled the Prophet, It can Relieve Yo...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 3rd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Wednesday, 18th October, 2023). *HOW THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam SUCCEEDED in DIFFICULT TIMES*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. Difficult times are part of ALLAH’s laws in this universe; they are part of the tests that people go through. They are not necessarily something evil, however. A difficulty we go through, on the contrary, could be a learning experience, a reminder, purification from sins and mistakes, a test of patience and perseverance, or all of these together. We can emerge from difficult times closer to ALLAH, stronger, united, more skilled, and more guided, but only if we know how to live through them and respond to them. There is no one to learn from who better responded to difficult times other than our beloved Prophet, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Not only was he a great man with noble character, he was also guided by revelations from ALLAH ALMIGHTY. Fol...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 1st day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Monday, 16th October, 2023). *_MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN THE  QURAN AND SUNNAH_*. BismilLaah. Brotherhood in Islam is a comprehensive concept that is based upon good character with others, treating others the way we want to be treated, and uniting together upon common values. It has three levels of degree: religion, family, and humanity. Each of these levels has a set of rights and duties that a Muslim must uphold with others. The strongest level of brotherhood is the sense of community, friendship, and common purpose in Islam for the sake of ALLAH. At this level, the believers work together towards fulfilling the goals of the religion and without living out its divine values. Allah says: إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ The believers are but brothers, so make reconciliation between your brothers and fear ALLAH that you ma...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 30th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 15th October, 2023). *_EFFECTS OF SINS IN OUR LIFE_*. Bismillah. Lets note that Sin breeds sins until it dominates a person and he cannot escape from it. It gradually strengthens his will to commit sins and weakens his will to repent until there is no will in his heart to repent at all and keeps sinning even openly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) said: “All of my ummah (followers) will go to Jannah except for those who commit sins openly, and that includes cases where ALLAAH conceals a person’s sin, but the following morning he exposes himself and says, ‘O So and so, I did such and such last night, so he shamelessly exposes himself when all night his Lord had concealed his sin.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5949; Muslim, 2744). let's fear ALLAH and stop our open and even secret sins and remember, the grave is waiting for us to display our sins in front of us and our regret can...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 14th October, 2023). *_KINDNESS IS OBLIGATORY EVEN TO NON MUSLIMS_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH says: Worship ALLAH and associate nothing with HIM, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. Scholars interpreted the “neighbor farther away” to mean not only proximity, but one who is further away in religion or beliefs. Al-Qurtubi comments on this verse, saying: I say based upon this verse, kind treatment of neighbors is enjoined and is recommended, whether they are Muslim or an unbeliever, and this is the right thing to do. Kind treatment may be in the sense of helping or it may be in the sense of being kind, refraining from harm, and supporting them. Source: Tafseer Al-Qurtubi 4:36 Islam teaches us to beware of hatred, malice, and the intention to harm others. They are spiritual diseases of the heart whose consequen...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 28th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Friday, 13th October, 2023). *_THE POWER OF THE QUR'AN_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. AlhamdulilLah for blessing us with this blessed day of the week. Let's strive to recite salaat upon our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Back to our topic. We all know the importance of reciting the Qur’an.  The recitation of the Qur’an is surely full of blessings and a great act of reward. It can be recited for whatever reason one desires, such as seeking blessings, attaining Baraka, and obtaining success in some matter. Qur’an is a source of guidance for the bewildered, remedy for the ailing, healing for the spiritually diseased and a code of life for whole of humanity. ALLAH Most High says: “HE send down in the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe. To the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.” (al-Isra, 82). AND ALLAH says: “O mankind! There has come to y...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 27th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Thursday, 12th October, 2023). *_A MUSLIMS WAY OF LIFE_*. BismilLah. If you accept to be a Muslim and thus having accepted ALLAH as our CREATOR and Muhammad (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) as HIS Messenger, the next and ultimate step is to please our LORD and thus Obtain HIS MERCY and LOVE. The question arises as to how to please our Lord, so that HE will Love us?. Is it by doing what our heart says Or Is it by using our intellect? Or is it by mysticism and meditation Or is it to ask a wise man. Or is it to consult a manual? Etc.  The answer is very clear to an intelligent person. Everything has a manual even a simple system comes with a manual to show the purchaser how to best make use of it and how to look after it? So why should the human being with such a complex physiological and psychological make up not come with a manual? In fact we do come with a manual. Our manual is the Quran and Prophet Muh...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 26th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Wednesday, 11th October, 2023). *_LETS STRIVE TO BE MUSLIMS FULL TIME_*. Bismillaah. As Muslims, its important to ensure we live our life positively. If your  behaviour or character is negative, you have the power and the choice to do what it takes to alter it. The greatest power we have as human beings is the power of choice.Almighty ALLAH says in Quran [76:3]“HE has shown us the way to be either grateful or ungrateful.” This is simply about choice, either to be thankful and turn towards the way of ALLAH or being ungrateful and turning towards your own heart desires. If your character is flawed, you can change it. You can change your worldly character to Godly character by : • Changing your words and thought patterns; • Making the word of ALLAH your final authority in life; • Doing what is right at all times; • Doing away with friends who have worldly character; • Walking in love and offering...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 25th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Tuesday, 10th October, 2023). *_DUA TO HELP OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN_*. BismilLah.  We all know the importance of making dua or dzikir in general isn't it?  Remembering ALLAH (dhikr) brings great benefits, such as spiritual well-being, tranquillity and softening of the heart. ALLAH, may HE be exalted, says: “Those who believe (in the Oneness of ALLAH - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of ALLAH, Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH do hearts find rest”[ar-Ra‘d 13:28]. There is this great dua that we must always sincerely be making to help ourselves and our children to be able to offer our salaat without any difficulties in shaa ALLAH.  The Supplication is in Suurah Ibrahim 14:40. And the Supplication is... ( رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَآءِ (٤٠ "Rabbi-jal'nii muqeema swalaati, wa min zurriyyatii, Ra...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 24th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Monday, 9th October, 2023). *_DO NOT BE ALONE WITH NON RELATIVE OPPOSITE-GENDA_*. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem To be alone with a non-mahram(non relative) opposite genda means offering Shaytaan the licence to operate you in disobeying ALLAH because satan is always the 3rd to make you commit haraam deeds such as zina of the eyes, zina of the hand etc as ALLAH and HIS Messenger warned.  It is not permitted for a man to be alone in a house, room or car with a non-mahram woman, including his brother's wife or a servant except in circumstances beyond the two. Similarly a female patient should not be alone with a doctor, and so on so. Many people are careless about this matter without going to see a doctor with their wife or daughter, whether because they trust themselves which is not right  or for some other reason, with the results that many commit indecent acts or take the steps that lead to them...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 23rd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Sunday, 8th October, 2023). *_OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH SUPERSEDE ANY CREATION_*. BismilLah.  The Messenger to Mankind Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in an authentic hadith that “there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to The Creator (ALLAH). This short hadith basically means The right of The Creator takes precedence over the rights of the creation. So when any one from the creation enjoins on you to commit any act of disobedience, then obedience to them in that specific matter is actually disobedience to ALLAH, whereas disobedience to them in that specific matter is obedience to ALLAH. ALLAH (subhanahu wa ta’aala) says: …Help one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. Quran 5:2. *_May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) grant us the ability to obey HIM and protect us from any disobe...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 22nd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 7th October, 2023). *_STUDYING/ RECITING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE QURAN IN OUR DAILY LIFE_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem. Our beloved Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for its reciters. Sahih Muslim 804. He, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said also: The Qur'an and its people who acted upon it will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection, preceded by Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran. Sahih Muslim 805. That's why we are encouraged to recite these 2 suurahs regularly in the mornings bcs sheitan hate to hear these 2 suurahs in particularly been recited bcs they are the soldiers of the Qur'an. ALLAH will turn both like human beings to lead Muslims who acted upon the Qur'an teachings to the presence of ALLAH to beg for ALLAH to have mercy on...
