 FAJR REMINDER: THE FRUITS OF DUTIFULNESS TO PARENTS By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 29, 1448 (13-August-2026) Undoubtedly, goodness, kindness, and dutifulness to one's parents are among the most important and beneficial deeds a Muslim can undertake. They carry immense rewards and blessings, both in this world and in the Hereafter. Among their many benefits are the following: 1. It Brings Allāh's Pleasure The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “The Pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parent, and the Anger of the Lord is in the anger of the parent.” [Jāmi‘ At-Tirmidhī, 1899] Ka‘b al-Aḥbār related that Luqmān said to his son: “My son, whoever pleases his parents has pleased the Most Merciful, and whoever angers them has angered the Most Merciful…” [al-Birr wa Aṣ-Ṣilah v. 1, p. 32] -Ṣiddīq  The Pleasure of Allāh is the greatest goal a Muslim can pursue, for whoever earns His Pleasure has attained true success in this life and the Hereafter. One of the greatest ways to seek that Pleasure...

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 21-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم *First Issue:* Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (pbuh) said, *“Whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.”*📚Source: Sunan Abi‌ Da‌wu‌d 4811 Now, A married woman’s heart thrives on acknowledgment. When a husband recognizes her efforts—whether through kind words, a warm embrace, or a simple "thank you"—it acts as a *powerful booster* to her spirit. Sadly, many men take their wives for granted, forgetting that *"what is sweet to the eye is often bitter to the soul."* A woman may smile through her daily struggles, but deep down, she yearns for validation.  The bitter truth is, *"If a man does housework for a day, he will know that stone is different from biscuits😀."*  Women perform countless domestic tasks *daily, for years, without complaint*—cooking, cleaning, childcare, and managing the household. Yet, if a man were subjected to the same routine for just *24 hours...

 If U Win the Fight ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Some people pray Tahajjud for some nights. Then they miss a night. They miss two. They miss five, six, or seven days in a month. They think, "It's okay, I will try again." But there is a difference between trying and being chosen. Sure! The hardest thing is not the midnight prayer. The hardest thing is waking up. Your body wants sleep. Shaytan tells you to forget. Shaytan whispers, “Tomorrow. Just rest.” You feel so tired. But what happens if you don’t listen? If you win this fight? Not for one night, but for every night. For years without missing. Here is the truth that will split the crowd right away: Yes! And someone who has never done this will say, "This cannot be true." But the one who has stood in Tahajjud for years, without missing a night? They will read this write-up, nod slowly, and swear by Allah: "This is the pure truth." Here is that truth: If you prove to Allah—for years—that ...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE MOTHER’S GREATER RIGHT TO BIRR By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 28, 1448 (12-August-2026) Generally speaking, a child must show kindness and dutifulness to both parents. However, the mother has a greater right to a child’s kindness and companionship, and her right takes precedence over the father’s when there is a conflict in matters of Birr. Abū Hurayrah reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), “Who is most deserving of my good company?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your father.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5971, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2548] This means, for instance, that when a child has Two Hundred Thousand Naira to give to both parents, ¾ of it (i.e., 150,000 Naira) goes to the mother while ¼ of it (i.e., 50,000 Naira) goes to the father. There is no mistake about this. So, fathers should pati...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 29th day of Safar, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 12th August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NAAZI'AAT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah Let's continue with our studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat from verse 39-41.  In yesterday's reminder, we studied from verses 38-39 in which ALLAH Azzawajal says "as for the one who transgressed, and preferred the worldly life", the next verse gives verdict for such people as follows; Verse 39 فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ "Then indeed, Hellfire will be his or her refuge." The consequence of persistent transgression and deliberately preferring the dunya over AALLAH'S commands is the punishment of Hellfire .  Verse 40 وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ "But as for the one who feared standing before his Lord and restrained himself from his or her desires."

BismilLah Let's continue with our studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat from verse 37-38. ALLAH Azzawajal says: فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝٣٧ وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ۝٣٨ "So as for the one who transgressed, and preferred the worldly life." (Qur'an 79:37–38). These two short verses contain a powerful warning. ALLAH Azzawajal warns us about two connected dangers: transgressing HIS limits and giving the dunya priority over the Hereafter.  The person who ṭaghā, crossed the limits set by ALLAH Azzawajal. This includes disbelief, arrogance, oppression, persistent disobedience, and living as though one has no accountability before ALLAH Azzawajal. A person may know that prayer is obligatory but choose business instead. They may know that something is haram but choose their desires. They may know that charity is r...

 FAJR REMINDER: CARING FOR THEM WHEN ALIVE OR DEAD By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 27, 1448 (11-August-2026) One of the ways to demonstrate goodness, kindness, and dutifulness to one's parents is by taking care of their needs, especially when they grow old, weak, and dependent. Remember that when you were young, vulnerable, and unable to care for yourself, your parents carried the responsibility of your upkeep. Therefore, when they reach a stage where they need you, do not hesitate to care for them as they once cared for you. Pay attention to their diet, medications, clothing, shelter, and other essential needs. Spend on them appropriately according to your ability. If they live far away from you, make the effort to visit them and ensure that they are not left without proper care. Many parents have gone hungry so that their children could eat. They have denied themselves comfort so that their children could live comfortably. Yet, sadly, some children today make sure they have eaten to satisfac...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE DUTIFULNESS WE OWE OUR PARENTS By: Umm Affān Ṣafar 26, 1448 (10-August-2026) One of the greatest responsibilities of a Muslim in this Dunyā is showing goodness, kindness, and dutifulness to one's parents. This is not merely a noble act of character; it is an act of worship that Allāh and His Messenger have given great importance to. To help us understand the seriousness of this responsibility, Allāh has mentioned being dutiful to parents alongside the command to worship Him alone without associating any partners with Him. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them, but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.’” [Sūrah Al-Isrā'...

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 20-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم The Prophet (PBUH) continuously emphasized that women in many situations fall under the category of the weak along with the orphans. It was reported by al–Nasai and Ibn Majah with a sound transition as Imam al Nawawi stated in his book “Riyad al- Salehin” that the Prophet said, *“O God be my witness that I admonish people about disregarding the right of the two weak parties: the orphan and the woman.”* Servants of Allah! There is no doubt that just as the husband leads his wife to Paradise or to Hellfire, the wife may also lead him to Paradise or to Hellfire. This is because she has rights upon him in the same manner that he has rights upon her. Yes. Allah Says: "{And wives have similar rights which the husband must NOT fall short of, according to what is reasonable..}" 📚[Quran 2:228] Today, Some husbands get upset when their wives refuse to do this or that around the house.This has subjected m...

BismilLah Let's continue with our studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat from verse 35 to 41 which speaks about "The fate of the people of Paradise and Hell". Verse 35. ALLAH Azzawajal says: يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ “On the Day when every human being will remember what he or she strove for.” Qur’an 79:35. This verse is short, but it carries a very powerful warning. It follows immediately after ALLAH Azzawajal mentions At-Ṭāmmah Al-Kubrā, the Greatest Catastrophe, the Day of Resurrection from the previous verse 34 we studied yesterday.  What does “what he strove for” mean? The Arabic expression مَا سَعَىٰ (mā saʿā) refers to what a person worked for, pursued, struggled for and exerted himself to achieve throughout their life. On that Day, a person will remember their life with complete clarity. H...

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 19-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Religious leaders preach patience but rarely hold men accountable for emotional neglect. The neglected wife is told to *"make dua"* (pray), while the husband faces no consequences for his imbalance. Also, Communities often turn a blind eye, whispering *"it’s a private matter"* or *"she should be more patient."* But as the proverb goes, *"The axe forgets, but the tree remembers."* These women carry scars no one sees. Muslim Faithful, Al-Qurtubi (r.h.) said: *“If you have power over your wife, then remember the Might of Allah; Allah’s Might is over every might, so no one should transgress his wife, as Allah Almighty, is indeed in observation and watching.”* 📚[End of quote] My brothers, Your wives are a trust (Amanah) from Allah. I've observed many men who treat their wives like nobody, forgetting that their actions is undoubtedly exposing the innocent woman into ...

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 18-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم There was a righteous predecessors who concealed his fasting without even his family knowing about it. Yes. Ibn Abi Adi said that Dawud bin Abi Hind fasted for forty years without his family knowing. He used to take his lunch with him from home. He would give it away as charity on the way, and then return home in the evening to break his fast with his family. My people! This emphasises that when you perform a good deed, it does not need to be revealed unless necessary. On the above subject, the Prophet ﷺ informed us about three whom Allah, the Exalted, loves: *"A man who came to some people and asked them for the sake of Allah, and he did not ask them due to any relationship between him and them, but they refused him. Then one of them gave him secretly so that only Allah and the one whom he gave knew about it. And a group who traveled all night until sleep became more beloved t...
