 FAJR REMINDER: A PATH TO ALLĀH’S PLEASURE By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 3, 1448 (16-August-2026) The scholars have pointed out that the Pleasure of Allāh is connected to the pleasure of one's parents, just as the Anger of Allāh is connected to their anger. Therefore, the one who leaves this world while his parent is angry with him has placed himself in a grave danger and exposed himself to the Anger of Allāh. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.” [Sūrah Al-Isrā' (17): 23-24] This demonstrates the tremendous status of dutifulness to parents. Al-‘Iḥsān—the highest level of goodness—is not merely encouraged; it is a necessary obligation. Allāh has mentioned dutifulness to parents alongside worshipping Him alone, highlighting their great virtue and the seriousness of their rights. Therefore, the two are inseparable. You cannot attain complete dutifulness to Allāh while neglecting the rights of your pa...

 FAJR REMINDER: STRENGTH IN SILENCE By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 2, 1448 (15-August-2026) The gentle, soft-spoken, and quiet one—that was Ruqayyah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha), the second daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the daughter of our great mother, Khadījah Bint Khuwaylid (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). Before Islām, Ruqayyah was engaged to ‘Utbah, the son of Abū Lahab, the well-known disbelieving uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ). Abū Lahab became accursed by Allāh in Sūrah Al-Masadd after he opposed and cursed the Prophet (ﷺ), and Allāh (ﷻ) responded on behalf of His Messenger saying: “Perish the two hands of Abū Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he!” [Sūrah Al-Masadd (111): 1] Being related to the Prophet (ﷺ) was of no benefit to individuals such as Abū Lahab and Abū Ṭālib, his uncles, because they died upon disbelief. Indeed, Abū Lahab continues to be accursed. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (Raḥimahullāh) mentioned that among the uncles of the Prophet (ﷺ) was Abū Lahab, who opposed and fought agains...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Ahad | 3rd day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Sunday, 16th August, 2026. *_DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION_*. BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh, brothers and sisters in Islam. Jazaakumullaahu Khairan for your duʿāʾ and support for my journey yesterday. Alhamdulillah, the journey was successful. It is important that we occasionally remind ourselves of the true meanings of what we say during, and even before, Ṣalaah. In shaaALLAH, we will begin a series today focusing on the meanings and lessons behind these beautiful words, starting with the dua after ablution (wudhu). The duaa after ablution is short, but it carries a profound message about Tawheed, Repentance, Purification, and Entering ALLAH’S MERCY. The Prophet (S.A.W) taught us to say after wudhu: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 2nd day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 15th August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NAAZI'AAT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah Let's conclude our study of Surah An-Naazi'aat. Before we do so, please remember me and my family in your prayers as we embark on a long-distance driving journey for our holidays. May ALLAH Azzawajal protect us, grant us a safe journey, and return us home safely. Also, please allow me a little more time to respond to your questions. Verse 45 إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا "You are only a warner for whoever fears it." The Prophet ﷺ was sent to warn people and guide them. But the warning benefits those whose hearts possess khashyah—reverence and fear of ALLAH AZZAWAJAL. This connects beautifully with verses 40–41. Earlier ALLAH Azzawajal praised the person who: "feared standing before his Lord and restrained himself from his desires." Now ALLAH Azzawajal says that the warn...

 FAJR REMINDER: UNDERSTANDING ṬUMA'NĪNAH IN PRAYER By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 1, 1448 (14-August-2026) The Prophet (ﷺ) once instructed a man to repeat his entire prayer—not because he had abandoned the prayer altogether, but because he had performed it too hastily. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated: “Once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, “Go back and pray again for you have not prayed.” The man offered the prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to him thrice, “Go back and pray again for you have not prayed.” The man said, “By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to pray.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 793]” This Ḥadīth contains a profound lesson about the importance of Ṭuma'nīnah in Ṣalāh. Most Muslims know that standing, bowing, and prostrating are essential parts of the prayer. However, ...

BismilLah Let's continue with our studies of suurah An-Naazi'aat from the final verses 42-46 which speaks about "The Reality of the Day of Judgment and How Short This Life Is". Verse 43 فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا "How are you to mention it?" ALLAH Azzawajal makes it clear that the exact knowledge of the Hour does not belong to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.  His responsibility is to warn and remind, not to give a date that ALLAH Azzawajal has kept hidden. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "Indeed, ALLAH Azzawajal alone has knowledge of the Hour..." (Qur'an 31:34). Verse 44 إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا "To your Lord is its final knowledge." Only ALLAH Azzawajal knows exactly when the Hour will occur. The knowledge of its precise timing belongs exclusively to ALLAH Azzawa...

 *This is for You* ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم We live as if this world, with its few moments 70-130years, is our permanent address. But Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Quran: "And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter is the true life, if only they knew." 📚(Quran 29:64) What if we truly knew? What if we could grasp the sheer scale of what awaits us? My People, We plan for retirement, perhaps 20 or 30 years. We think about our children's future, maybe 70 years ahead. But have we ever planned for a residence that will last thousands of decades? Consider this: The period between our death and the Day of Judgment is not a brief nap. It is a long, long life in a realm called the Barzakh (the Barrier). Scholars have indicated based on hadith that this period is immensely long. Think of it not in years, but in millennia. *This is the core of the matter:* Every single action we perform is not just a line in a ledg...

 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...

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...

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...
