Don't Forget This [[--Episode 2--]]

 Don't Forget This [[--Episode 2--]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think about this for a moment. Right now, in a hospital, someone is struggling to breathe. They need a machine to help them. Right now, someone cannot pass urine or go to the toilet without a doctor's help. Right now, someone is finding it hard to even swallow their own saliva. Think of all the people you knew, who were your age, who have died. But you are still here. Allah (swt) has chosen you to live until today. Now, look at your own life. Do you have a job or not? Are you married or not? Do you have children or not? Are you rich or poor? Are you perfectly healthy or facing some sickness? My People, In any condition you are in, you are far, far better than millions of other people. This is a fact. If this is true, then you must say "Thank You" to Allah (swt). Not just sometimes, but all the time. Now, Who gets the benefit of being a thankful servant? It's You. Yourself. And, Allah (s...

Don't Forget This

 Don't Forget This ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think of it like this. You are in a train. The train is moving. Outside the window, you see beautiful mountains. You see ugly deserts. You see sunny days. You see scary storms. But here is the serious truth: The scenery outside does not matter. What matters is one thing: Where is this train going? You did not buy the ticket. Allah (swt) put you on this train. The destination is decided. You are going back to Him. My People, This world is not for enjoying the view. It is a test. A very, very short exam. Yes. You are sitting in the exam hall right now. Every problem you face—no money, sickness, losing a job, losing a loved one, fear, sadness, pain, delayed marriage, troubles in marital relationship—this is your question paper. What do you do in an exam? Do you cry over the difficult question? Do you get angry at the paper? No. You focus. You write your answers. Your answer is your patience. Your answer is your faith. Your a...

THE GREATEST WRONG AGAINST ALLĀH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE GREATEST WRONG AGAINST ALLĀH By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 30, 1448 (15-July-2026) The second class of the nullifiers of Islām and Eemān is DENIAL OF ALLĀH’S RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED OR WORSHIPPING ANYTHING OR ANYONE ALONG WITH HIM. This category deals with the gravest of all sins: Shirk—associating partners with Allāh in worship. It includes directing acts of worship to the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, Shayṭān, or any other created being while neglecting the worship of Allāh, the One Who created them all. Reflect for a moment. The One Who created the darkness of the night, the brightness of the day, the radiant sun, and the moon that reflects its light is the only One deserving of worship. None of His creations possesses any share of His Divine Right. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor the moon, but prostrate to Allāh Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.” [Sūrah Fuṣṣil...

TAFSEER OF SUURATUL ABASA, QUR'AN CHAPTER 80 continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 1st day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 15th July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURATUL ABASA, QUR'AN CHAPTER 80 continues_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Let's conclude with our studies of this beautiful suurah from verse 40 to the last verse 42 which speaks about the sorrowful faces after judgement.  40. "And other faces, that Day, will be covered with dust," 41. "Overwhelmed by darkness and humiliation." 42. "Those are the disbelievers, the wicked." Commentary: In yesterday's reminder, we studied about the joyful faces after judgement. In contrast, another group will have faces covered with dust, darkened with grief, disgrace, and humiliation. These outward appearances reflect the condition of their hearts and the consequences of their disbelief and persistent sin. ALLAH Azzawajal describes them as: "The disbelievers and the wicked." The word فَجَرَة (fajarah) refers to those who repeatedly reb...

DENYING ALLĀH'S EXCLUSIVE LORDSHIP

 FAJR REMINDER: DENYING ALLĀH'S EXCLUSIVE LORDSHIP By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 29, 1448 (14-July-2026) Not everyone who affirms the Existence of Allāh truly affirms His Lordship as it deserves to be affirmed. Sadly, some believe in Allāh's Existence, yet also claim that certain so-called great saints—referred to in Ṣūfī terminology as “Qutb”—possess authority over the affairs of the universe. Such a belief contradicts the fundamental creed that Allāh (alone) is the Wakīl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian, etc.) over all creation, and that everything occurs only by His Will, Knowledge, and Decree. Ironically, this belief is even more misguided than that of the pagan Arabs at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ). Although they associated partners with Allāh in worship, they never denied that He alone controlled the affairs of the heavens and the earth. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “Say (O Muḥammad ﷺ): ‘Who provides for you from the sky and the earth? Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out ...

Build Ur Mansion

 *Build Ur Mansion* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think about this: If Adam and Eve never came to Earth, we would all be in Paradise right now. Every one of us. We would have been born there. But here is the truth. Paradise has different levels. Some homes there are small. Some are huge, like palaces. Now,  Imagine if Allah (swt) put us all in Paradise today. He then says, "You get this very small house. But you over there, you get that giant, beautiful mansion." We would all ask, "Why? That's not fair! Why is their home better?" But, Allah (swt) is the Most Fair. He does not want us to ask that question on the Day of Judgment. So, He sent us here. To Earth. This life is our working time. This is our chance to build our own place in Paradise. The harder we work for Allah here, the bigger and better our home there will be. No complaints. Because we built it with our own actions here. So, how do we build the biggest, most beautiful home? Abdullah ibn ...

THE PEAK OF ARROGANCE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE PEAK OF ARROGANCE By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 28, 1448 (13-July-2026) Atheism is not the only path by which a person denies the Existence of Allāh. Among the most outrageous acts that nullify one's Islām and Eemān is for a human being to claim the right of divinity, declaring himself to be God (Allāh) or worthy of worship which belongs to Allāh alone. Such a claim is the peak of arrogance, for it is a direct assault upon the exclusive Right of the Creator. This was the crime of Fir‘aun, although he was never a believer. Blinded by power, intoxicated by authority, and deceived by his own pride, he dared to utter the words that no created being has any right to say. Allāh (ﷻ) informs us that he declared: “I am your lord, most high.” [Sūrah An-Nāzi‘āt (79): 24] That statement did not come suddenly. It was the result of a heart that had long rejected the Truth and a soul consumed by arrogance. Before making that blasphemous claim, Fir‘aun had already attempted to erase t...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of this beautiful suurah from verses 33 to the final verse 42 which speaks about The Scenes from the Day of Resurrection. Surah 'Abasa concludes by transporting us from the blessings of this world to the overwhelming reality of the Day of Judgement. After reminding us of ALLAH’S favours and HIS provision, ALLAH Azzawajal now reminds us of the Day when every soul will stand before HIM. Verse 33: "Then, when the Deafening Blast comes." The "Ṣākhkhah" is one of the names of the Trumpet blast that will herald the Day of Resurrection. It is called the Deafening Blast because of its terrifying intensity, overwhelming every sound and capturing every person's attention. At that moment, the world as we know it will have ended, and every human being will be...

Verses 27–31:  ALLAH Azzawajal lists various types of vegetation HE causes to grow on land from: Grain (ḥabb): staple foods such as wheat, barley, rice, and similar crops. Grapes ('inab): delicious fruits enjoyed fresh or dried. Fresh vegetation (qaḍb): tender plants and vegetables consumed by people and animals. Olives (zaytūn): a blessed food and source of beneficial oil. Date palms (nakhl): among the most honoured trees in Islam, providing highly nutritious fruit. Dense gardens (ḥadā'iq ghulb): lush orchards and forests with abundant trees. Fruits (fākihah): all varieties of fruits for enjoyment and nourishment. Pasture (abb): grasses and plants that feed grazin...

Set Yourself Free [-Final Episode]

 Set Yourself Free [-Final Episode -] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم You wake up one day, and your world is shaken. Someone you loved broke your trust. Someone you trusted stabbed your back. Someone you gave your heart to, shattered it into pieces. And you ask: "Why me?" Here is the hard truth that will set you free: This is a test. Yes! Allah (swt) tells us clearly: "And We will surely test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and fruits. But give good news to the patient." 📚(Quran 2:155) Did you catch that? Test. Not punishment. My People, Allah (swt) is not punishing you by sending difficult people into your life. He is testing you. He wants to see what you will do with the hurt. Will you explode? Will you revenge? Will you hold the poison inside until it kills you? Or will you rise above it? You see, The Good and the Bad Are Teachers. Yes! Look around you. Everything in this life—both good and bad—is here to teach us something. ...

EVEN SHAYṬĀN KNOWS HIS LORD

 FAJR REMINDER: EVEN SHAYṬĀN KNOWS HIS LORD By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 27, 1448 (12-July-2026) Many Muslims are careful to protect their ablution because they know that without it, their Ṣalāh is invalid. The moment they lose their ablution, they hasten to renew it before standing before their Lord. Yet, how many of us give the same level of concern to the matters that invalidate our Islām and Eemān? Just as there are acts that nullify one's ablution, there are also beliefs, statements, and actions that nullify a person's faith. These nullifiers are not minor matters. They are among the gravest dangers a Muslim can face because they threaten the very foundation of one's relationship with Allāh. They may be classified into four major categories. The first category is the denial of Allāh's Existence or speaking about Him with rejection, falsehood, or slander. Among the clearest manifestations of this is Atheism—the belief that there is no Creator. For decades, this ideology h...

Register Ur Name

 *Register Ur Name* ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Don't worry! Your bed will be there when you come back. Yes. But Tahajjud time? Once it's gone, you can't get it back. In fact, Angels carry the attendance register every night. So never miss even for one night without waking up for Tahajjud. Do it until the end of your life. Now, Any Nafil prayer established after ishai prayer (before you sleep) is called Qiyamul-lail. Any Nafil prayer established when you wake up from sleep (after ishai prayer) is called Tahajjud. The two Nafil are good but Tahajjud is more rewarding because only the determined Muslims can wake from sleep just for Allah (swt). My People, It is best to delay the tahajjud or late night prayer to the *last third portion of the night.* Evidence: Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reports that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Our Lord Descends to the lowest heaven during the *last one-third of the night* inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may re...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of this beautiful suurah from verses 24-32 which speaks about The Sign of ALLAH Azzawajal in our Sustenance. Verses 25–26: "How ALLAH pour down water in abundance, then split the earth open." ALLAH Azzawajal describes the beginning of the food cycle. Rain falls from the sky in precisely the amount and at the time ALLAH Azzawajal wills. The earth, which appears hard and lifeless, splits open as tiny seeds germinate and emerge. This remarkable process occurs countless times every year, yet people often overlook it. ALLAH Azzawajal says elsewhere: "Have you seen the water that you drink? Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or it's ALLAH the One who sends it down?" (Qur'an 56:68–69).  Every drop of rain is a sign of ALLAH’S mercy and complete co...

A JOURNEY THAT BUILT CHARACTER AND BROTHERHOOD

 FAJR REMINDER: A JOURNEY THAT BUILT CHARACTER AND BROTHERHOOD By: Umm Affān Muḥarram 26, 1448 (11-July-2026) The Hijrah of the Prophet (ﷺ) also teaches us a timeless lesson in honesty and integrity. Although many of the Quraysh rejected the Prophet‘s (ﷺ) message and fiercely opposed him, they still entrusted their most valuable possessions to him because they knew him as the most trustworthy of people. As he prepared to migrate to Madīnah, the Prophet (ﷺ) instructed ‘Alī (Raḍiyallāhu 'Anhu) to remain behind and return every trust to its rightful owner before joining him. Allāh Akbar! Even those who persecuted him were not deprived of their rights. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And verily, you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) are on an exalted standard of character.” [Sūrah Al-Qalam (68): 4] The testimony to the Prophet's noble character did not come from people alone—it also came from the One Who created him. How many of us would have acted the same way? Many would have viewed it as the perfect opportunity ...

The Story of the Gift Trays

  The Story of the Gift Trays ​There was a pious man who used to regularly visit the graveyard to pray, make dua , and seek forgiveness for his deceased parents and the other inhabitants of the graves. ​One day, after performing his prayers, he felt incredibly fatigued and fell asleep right there among the graves. While asleep, he had a vivid, spiritual dream. ​He saw the graves split open, and the deceased emerged. Suddenly, angels descended from the heavens carrying brilliant, glowing trays covered with light ( nur ) and silk cloths . The angels began walking among the deceased, distributing these trays like gifts. Every deceased person received a tray, and their faces lit up with immense joy and happiness. ​However, the dreamer noticed one man—his own deceased father—sitting off to the side, looking deeply sorrowful, heartbroken, and completely empty-handed. No angel had brought him a tray. ​The son rushed over to his father in the dream and asked, "O my father, why are yo...
