He therefore welcomed death to deposition, and that was certainly most noble and elevating on the part of Uthman. Some writers have indulged in the view that at the last moment, Uthman had agreed to be deposed, but that the rebels did not allow him time to announce his deposition. There is no truth in such stories. Uthman stuck to his view to the last, and he preferred to die r...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 4th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 18th November, 2023). *_PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN (Faith)_*. BismilLah.  Scholars of Islaam based on Quran, Sunnah and the consensus of all scholars have  said that: “Belief is a statement of the tongue, sincerity of the heart and actions of the limbs. It increases with the increase of good deeds and decreases due to decreases in good deeds. So it will increase and decrease due to that (one’s deeds). Faith is not complete by the statement of the tongue except with actions. Both statements of the tongue and actions are not complete except with intention (purely for ALLAH'S sake). Statement of the tongue, actions and intentions are not complete unless they are in accordance with the Quran and sunnah.” This is a simple formula but that's the foundation of good faith. Let's strive to protect our EEMAAN by applying these simple formula in our daily ways of life. Don't just follow ignorant...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 3rd day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Friday, 17th November, 2023). *_LET'S STRIVE TO DEFEAT OUR BAD HEART DESIRES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. As Muslims, it's important we keep reminding each other about our ways of life, as ALLAH says, reminding only benefit believers. My reminder this morning to you and to myself is to remember that this earth is a temporal place of abode; we will all die soon, no doubt about that. Over 100 died yesterday, over 100 died this morning, and over 100 may die before you finish reading this reminder, and it's a FACT. It could be you or me so why not live our life like a traveller who is resting under a tree as our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam explained, do you think he will be spending his entire time thinking about something else other than his journey ahead? Let's focus on our obedience to ALLAH. Our desires, which aid us to fornicate, steal, envy, backbite, etc. We ...

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 2nd day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Thursday, 16th November, 2023). *_PRAYING FOR OUR ENEMIES_*. BismilLah.  It was the practice of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam to supplicate and pray to ALLAH to guide his enemies of Islam and to benefit them in the Hereafter. Islam teaches us to love for others what we love for ourselves. Each one of us wants to be guided and, therefore, we should ask ALLAH to guide others even if they are unbelievers, sinners, or oppressors. Islam is a beautiful religion and only teaches what's right.  We should supplicate for guidance and forgiveness for people in general. It is the essence of ALLAH to be forgiving and mericful, and the Angels roam the earth seeking forgiveness for everyone upon it. By expressing mercy and forgiveness in our supplications, we fulfill ALLAH’s plan for the creation. ALLAH says: وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي الْأَرْض...

Most of the people regarded the Caliph as an Arab Sheikh on a higher scale amenable to the will of the people and even their idiocynracies. Uthman was of the view that the analogy of a tribal Sheikh did not apply to the Caliph.- He held that there was a divini...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 1st day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Wednesday, 15th November, 2023). ISLAM IS A MERCY FOR THE ENTIRE CREATION, EVEN TO ENEMIES OF ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  ISLAM teaches us to be merciful to the entire creation, to Muslims and non-Muslims, to friends and enemies and even to the animals, trees, rocks etc. Mercy (Raḥmah) in Islam has a very wide meaning that includes kindness, compassion, love, tolerance, patience with people, and to treat others the way we would love to be treated. This Islamic value is at the core of the prophetic message and meaning of faith, just as it was in all of the revealed religions before Islam. Every Muslim needs to strive to be an agent of mercy on earth for all human beings and creatures. ALLAH says to the nearest meaning: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ I have not sent you except as mercy to the worlds. Qur'an 21:107. Which means mercy to everything on earth.  ALLAH intends for the mer...

Further conquests were made. In the north the Oxus was crossed, and a greater part of Transoxiana was occupied. In the east the frontiers were pushed up to India. In the west the whole of North Africa was conquered. From North Africa the Muslims crossed over to Spain and occupied a part thereof. In the Mediterranean the islands of Cypress and Rhodes were conquered during the reign of Uthman. Under Uthman the Muslims became a naval power for the first time. _______PAGE 2_______ They un...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 30th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Tuesday, 14th November, 2023). *_A KEY INGREDIENT TOWARDS A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE_*. BismilLah.   I always remind each other that Islam is a complete ways of life. We have signed a covenant with ALLAH to live in this world by HIS rules and in return, HE promised to reward our efforts with Paradise. As Muslims, we must focus on this basic  fact and ensure we strive to please ALLAH in all we do through patience and perseverance and through the teachings and ways our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam.  Marriage is a very important covenant between us and ALLAH. Both couple must go into the marriage with one very important reason which is to earn Paradise base on how we handle each other. When we focus on pleasing ALLAH then we may ignore each others errors in the marriage and ensure our enemy (Satan), does not get any space into the marriage.  One most im...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 29th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Monday, 13th November, 2023). * *_ENDURING GRIEF AND HARDSHIP IN LIFE AS MUSLIMS_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem. In Qur'an chapter 3, verses 155-157, Allah subhanallahu ta’ala reminds us: "Verily, ALLAH will test you with something of fear and hunger; some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Who say when afflicted with calamity: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhir raji-oon" "To ALLAH we belong and to HIM is our return." They are those on whom (descend) blessings from ALLAH and Mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance." From these verses we can see that in a Muslim’s life, hardship and suffering should never come as a complete surprise. In fact, ALLAH promises us some hardship as a certainty, somewhere during our lifetime. It is a test of our eeman, our faith in ALLAH, and we should not despair...

Uthman honestly felt that he had the right to utilize the public funds according to his best judgment, and no one had the right to criticize him for that. Uthman's argument was that if he could not spend the fund at the disposal of the State at his discretion, then what was the fun in being the Caliph? _______PAGE 2_______ As all the facts pertaining to the alle...

In Madina, a number of wells were dug to provide drinking water for the people. The water supply in Makkah was also improved. Water was brought to Kufa and Basra by canals. _______PAGE 2_______ Heretofore Shuaibia was the port for Makkah. It was inconvenient. Uthman selected Jeddah as the site of the new seaport. Uthman bathed in the sea-water at Jeddah, and said that it was a blessed spot. Other companions also bathed in the sea-water at Jeddah. Uthman prayed for t...

Thereafter Abu Bakr and Umar while presiding at the Hajj functions followed the precedent set up by the Holy Prophet, and offered only two rakaats in prayers. In the early years of- his caliphate, Uthman followed the same precedent, but in the year 649 C.E. Uthman offered the full prayers in four rakaats. _______PAGE 2_______ Uthman was criticized by hostile circles for making this departure from...

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 28th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Sunday, 12th November, 2023). *_ALLAH IS THE BEST OF PLANNERS_*. BismilLah.  Many Muslims are so worried as to why some of our brothers and sisters are suffering from the hands of the kuffar and it seems to them ALLAH is quite Astaqfirullah. Please remember that ALLAH has given us our choice to act good or bad and you choose badness, your time will come for ALLAH to deal with you.  ALLAH says in Qur'an  3:54 وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَٰكِرِينَ  And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but ALLAH planned. And ALLAH is certainly the best of planners. ALLAH states that the Children of Israel tried to kill `Eesa alaihi salaam by conspiring to defame him and crucify him. They complained about him to the king who was a disbeliever. They claimed that Eesa A.S was a man who misguided people, discouraged them from obeying the king, caused division, and separated be...
