 *Get there Ontime* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Brothers and Sisters in Islam, every Friday, a special treasure is distributed. The key to unlocking it is not wealth or status, but something far simpler: time. When you make the conscious effort to go for Jumu'ah prayers early, you are not just securing a seat in the mosque. You are securing a seat in the divine mercy of Allah. *The Reward of a Sacrifice:* From numerous authentic hadith, the one who goes to attend the Juma'at prayers in the First Hour is rewarded as if he has sacrificed a camel. The one who comes in the Second Hour as if he has sacrificed a cow, and then a chicken, and then an egg. 📚 Authentic. Therefore, the earlier you come, the greater the rewards. Slaves of Allah! Those who attend Jumu’ah prayer should be quiet and listen attentively to the imam when he is preaching. It is not permissible to speak to others, even if that is to tell them to be quiet. Whoever does that has engaged in idle talk ...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 3 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Offering obligatory prayer behind someone establishing nafil prayer:* There is nothing wrong with one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering an optional prayer. Evidence: Mu adh ibn Jabal (r.a.) used to pray Isha’ with the Prophet (pbuh), then he would go back to his people and lead them in praying ‘Isha’, and the prayer was optional for him and obligatory for them. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “In this Hadith, we see that it is permissible for one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering a optional prayer, because Mu‘adh used to offer the obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), so he discharged his duty, then he would pray the second time with his people, so it was voluntary for him and obligatory for them. This is stated clearly elsewhere than in Muslim, and this is permissible according to Ash-Shafa‘i (may...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 2 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Maghrib behind one who is praying ‘Isha’:* Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The correct view on this is that if a person comes (to the mosque) and the imam is praying ‘Isha’, whether he is with a group or not, he should join the imam, with the intention of praying Maghrib. It does not matter if the imam’s intention is different from that of one who is praying behind him, because the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but that which he intended.” If they join him in the second rak’ah, they can say the tasleem with him, because they will have prayed three rak’ahs, and it does not matter if they sit for the Tashahhud during their first rak’ah. If they join him in the first rak’ah, then when he stands up for the fourth rak’ah, they can sit and recite the Tashahhud and say the tasleem, then join him in what remains of ‘Isha prayer....

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 1 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Asr behind an Imam Praying Maghrib:* It is not permissible to observe ‘Asr prayer behind an Imam observing Maghrib prayer; rather one should pray Maghrib with that particular Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars and he does not have to repeat the Maghrib prayer after praying ‘Asr according to the most correct opinion. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah said that he should pray Maghrib with the Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars. He does not have to repeat Maghrib.....This is the saying of Ibn Abbas, the Shafi’i madhab. This is more correct (amongst all opinions on this), for Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) did not make it obligatory on the person to pray a swalaat twice if he has feared Allah as much as he can [Allah knows best]). 📚(From the book ‘What Should You Do in the Following Situations… ?’ by Majmooa Fatawi Ibn Taimiyyah) *Praying...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 25th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Friday, 17th October, 2025. *_LET'S KEEP STRIVING TO BE RICH ON GOOD DEEDS ON JUDGEMENT DAY_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  ALHAMDULILLAH for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week.  ALLAH the Almighty says: “ Indeed, your LORD ALLAH does not do injustice, (even) as much as an atom’s weight. And if it is a good deed, HE will multiply it many times and will give a great reward out of HIS Grace.” (Qur'an 4:40) So any good deed, that gets accepted by ALLAH will go through two amazing stages: 1. ALLAH will multiply it at least ten times. 2. ALLAH will give a great reward for it. All of this is a huge surprise that awaits the believer on judgment day. So my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, do you want to be rich? Not in earthly belongings. No, for all that will vanish soon or later! But Be rich in good deeds! We all have the same opportunity to earn great rewards e...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 24th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Thursday, 16th October, 2025. *_PURIFICATIONS OF OUR HEARTS_*. BismilLah. One of the most beautiful, most soothing, and most heartwarming moments we could have is when we realise how much ALLAH, The Most High, is protecting and taking care of our own heart by telling us what we should do to make us happy and enjoy peace of mind.  This is so much felt in Qur’anic verses where ALLAH (Al-Muqeet, The Nourisher) is telling us how HE wants us to speak to one another…Like here for an example: ” ... And speak to people good [words] …” (Qur’an 2: 83). The Arabic Aayah actually refers to good words as “husna” which also means beautiful. So ALLAH Azzawajal is instructing us to use not only good but beautiful words with people. ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Holy Quran; “And tell My servants to say that which is best…” ( Qur’an 17: 53).  Here, HE is making us carefully think about each word we utter so that w...

 The Companions of the Boat ‘Abdul-Waahid ibn Zayd (rahimahullaah) narrates:  “We were on a sea vessel once, when the wind suddenly became tempestuous, and we were forced to leave the high seas and seek refuge on an island. We were surprised to see that we were not alone on the island; there standing before us was a man who was busy worshipping an idol. We introduced ourselves and then said, ‘We do not have anyone on our ship that does as you are doing.’  The man asked, ‘Then who is it that you worship?’ We said, ‘We worship Allah.’ He asked, ‘And who is Allah?’ We said, ‘He Whose Throne is in the Heavens and Whose dominion is in the heavens, the earth, and all that exists.’ ‘And how did you come to know that?’ asked the man. ‘He sent a messenger to us with clear proofs and miracles, and it was that messenger who informed us about Him.’ ‘And what has happened to your messenger?’ ‘When he finished conveying the message, Allah caused him to die,’ we answered. ‘Has he left y...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 23rd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Wednesday, 15th October, 2025. *_LET'S BE STEADFAST IN OUR GOOD DEEDS AS STEADFASTNESS IS THE WAY TO PARADISE_*. BismilLaah.   Istiqaama (steadfastness) in Islam is a basic requirement for every Muslim. We are required to be steadfast in all good deeds without any laziness. Those who do that enjoy what ALLAH promised in Qur'an 41: 30-32. Read for yourself to see how beautiful this promise of ALLAH Azzawajal is.  Among them are our salaat and its timing. As soon as you finish offering your fajir you start programming yourself for zuhur wherever you may be. Striving to please your parents, supporting any charitable activities. Visiting the sick. Helping fellow Muslims in need, especially orphans. Striving to obey ALLAH Azzawajal and ignore any satanic influences. Making dua regularly towards ALLAH'S protection etc. These activities lead to righteousness and Paradise through ALLAH'S MERCY....

 Tawheed and it's greatness. Alhamdulillaah, At tawheed came from Waheed meaning oneness. Allah s.w.t says in Quran, Say, He is Allah, One and Only Allah is Eternal, Absolute  He does not beget neither is he begotten And there is none unto like HIM In resemblance. Surah Ikhlas 112;1-4. Allah is one and has no partner and this is the sole purpose why messengers were sent on earth. Allah says, Al-Anbiya 21:25 وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ English - Sahih International And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me." English - Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Abridged) ﴾أَمِ اتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِ ءَالِهَةً قُلْ﴿ (Or have they taken for worship gods besides Him Say:) -- O Muhammad -- ﴾هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ﴿ (Bring your proof.) your evidence for what you are saying. ﴾هَـذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ﴿ (This is the Reminder for those with m...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 22nd day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Tuesday, 14th October, 2025. *_HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN OUR CREATOR?_* BismilLah.  First of all, please join me in praising ALLAH Azzawajal for blessing one of my younger sisters (Aaishah) with a baby boy yesterday evening.  Alhamdulillah.  To our topic: There is this one sin that we keep falling in again and again…and again. We keep on repenting and seeking forgiveness, but we fall into it again and again. You give up. You submit to doing more sins. You think you’re hopeless. You fill your heart and mind with dark/desperate/hopeless thoughts. You think you’re worthless. You drown in negativity and desperation. In the end, those with no or weak eemaan commit suicide which leads to hellfire. AstaghfirulLah.  If you fall into these categories of Muslims, then Stop This Now! It's an insult to ALLAH AstaghfirulLah.  Never buy into these satanic influences! Never. The battle is not over...

 *Chapter 5 — Warning from Mentor* The mosque courtyard was quiet in the late afternoon, the shadows stretching across the tiled floor. Children’s laughter still echoed faintly from the classrooms, but most of them had gone home. Leilani sat with her back against a pillar, knees hugged to her chest, her hijab a little loose from the day’s heat. She had come here to find silence, but instead she found Ustaz Hamid watching her with his gentle, knowing eyes. “Your heart is heavy,” he said, not as a question, but as a fact. Leilani lowered her gaze. She had not confessed everything, not in detail. Yet somehow, Ustaz always seemed to sense what weighed her down. He didn’t pry; he simply waited, giving her space to speak—or not speak. Finally, in a voice barely louder than a whisper, she admitted, “Sometimes I feel like I’m failing Allah… even in secret.” The Ustaz leaned back, fingers tracing the prayer beads in his hand. “Do you know what our beloved Prophetﷺ told us?” His voice was ca...

 *A Mother’s Silent Sacrifice ❤️* When I think of strength, I think of my mother. She’s the kind of woman who would spend hours in the kitchen, cooking meal after meal for us — yet forget to eat a bite herself.  There were days she’d give us the last portion of food and pretend she wasn’t hungry. Some nights, she survived on nothing but tea or water, smiling as if everything was fine. Then came a day when her body could no longer hide the exhaustion. She fell ill, and we feared losing her.  The doctor told us what we already knew deep down — she wasn’t eating enough, she was tired, and she had been sacrificing too much for too long. That was when it truly hit me: a mother gives until there’s nothing left to give — and even then, she still gives more. We, her children, came together that day. We decided to help her — to share the work, to ease her burden, to let her rest. Slowly, by Allah’s mercy, she regained her strength. And ever since then, I’ve looked at her not just ...

 Haram relationships Haram earnings  Haram habits...  If you're finding it difficult to leave off haram, I sincerely advise you to supplicate to Allāh using this short & beautiful du‘ā : اللّهُـمَّ اكْفِـني بِحَلالِـكَ عَنْ حَـرامِـكَ Allaahumma-k-finee bihalaalika ‘an haraamika O Allāh, suffice me with what You have made Halal over what You have made Haram وَأَغْنِـني بِفَضْـلِكِ عَمَّـنْ سِـواكَ  wa aghninee bifaḍhlika ‘amman siwaaka and make me independent of all others besides You. Make sure to say it with an attentive heart while placing full trust in Allāh and inshā Allāh you will see how easy everything will become. ‘Ali raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu narrated that: A Mukātab (a slave who has agreed to buy himself out of slavery) came to him and said: “Indeed I am unable to pay off my contract of manumission, so help me.” He said: “Should I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) taught me? If you had a debt upon you similar to the mountain of Seer, Allāh ...

 *Chapter 4 — First Fall (Secret Sin)* It had been a quiet evening. Leilani told herself it was only a slip: a private act she would never name aloud, a weakness she’d hide in the small pocket of her chest. She had promised herself once—before, in the bright safety of the mosque—that she would guard her heart. But promises are soft when loneliness grows sharp.  The phone had been a siren; late messages, empty scrolling, and a tired mind had braided together until the rope she held onto frayed. She will not be graphic here—this is a story of a heart, not of details. What matters is what happened afterward: the heavy, sinking shame; the sudden, awful loneliness; the small, burning guilt that felt like a stain on the prayer mat. When it was over, she sat on the edge of her bed and cradled her face in her hands. The mirror on the wall reflected a stranger eyes rimmed with red, cheeks hollowed by worry. The hijab at her neck felt like a label she had failed to live up to. Her dua t...
