Ubayd ibn Umayr has related that one day he read these verses to Abdullah ibn Umar: “How then (will the sinners fare on Judgment Day) when We shall bring forward witnesses from within every community and bring you (O Prophet) as witness against them? Those who were bent on denying the truth and paid no heed to the Apostle will on that Day wish that the earth would swallow them but they shall not (be able to) conceal from God anything that has happened." (*Surah an-Nisa, 4:41-42*). Abdullah cried on listening to these verses until his beard was moist with tears. _____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻... One day, he was sitting among some close friends and he read: "Woe unto those

LET'S REVIVE A SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET sallallaahu Alaihi wasallam

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul ahad. 21st day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Sunday 12th February. 2023). *_LET'S REVIVE A SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET sallallaahu Alaihi wasallam_*. BismilLaah.  Ibn Jaz was one of the companions of the Prophet who is reported to have said: “I have not seen anyone who smiled more often than the Messenger of ALLAH.”[Tirmidhi]. Smiling has been proven by scientists to increase the natural antidepressant hormone, serotonin, causing the one who wears a smile to be happier. We underestimate the power of a smile on both ourselves and those around us. This characteristic is highly contagious and plays a massive role in building relationships with those around us.  A positive mind and attitude are irreplaceable in the quest to be productive and achieve your goals in life. Smiling is Sunnah, a simple, inexpensive act that helps lift your mood and make you feel more grateful and content since our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was seen frequently smiling and he even m

THE CONCEPT OF ISLAH IN ISLAM, THE NEGLECTED FARD AND SUNNAH ACTION

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawn As-sabt. 20th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Saturday 11th February. 2023). *_THE CONCEPT OF ISLAH IN ISLAM, THE NEGLECTED FARD AND SUNNAH ACTION_*. BismilLah.  Islah (إصلاح) is an Arabic word and appears seven times in the Quran.  Linguistically speaking, this word means: reconciliation, reforming, bringing order, fixing something, making something better etc.  The one who makes islah is called a muslih (مصلح), and muslih appears in the Quran once in singular form and four times in plural form muslihoon (مصلحون). Our current world, our ummah is in dire need of islah. Huge problems surround us, and these problems will only grow bigger if no one does something.  The Prophet (Sallalahu alaihi wasallam) said once: “ Verily, this religion began as something strange. And it will go back to being something strange. So give glad tidings for the strangers”. Someone asked him: “And who are they, O Messenger of ALLAH?” He said: “They are those who rectify and make corre

SALAAT ALAN NABI

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat.19th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Friday 10th February. 2023). *_SALAAT ALAN NABI_*. BismilLah.  In Qur'an 33:56, ALLAH says إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمًا  Indeed, ALLAH confers blessing upon the Prophet, and HIS angels [ask HIM to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ALLAH to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ALLAH to grant him] peace. Imam Al-Bukhari said that Abu Al-Aliyah said: "ALLAH’S Salah is HIS praising him before the angels, and the Salah of the angels is their supplication for ALLAH to keep praising the Prophet." In his Tafsir of this Ayah, Al-Bukhari recorded that Ka`b bin `Ujrah said, "It was said, `O Messenger of ALLAH, with regard to sending Salaam upon you, we know about this, but how about Salah?!' He said: قُولُوا  اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى الِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى الِ إِبْرَا

REAL MEANING of SUCCESS

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis.18th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 9th February. 2023). *_REAL MEANING of SUCCESS_*. BismilLah.  Imam Muslim May ALLAH be pleased with him narrated that The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “He is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and been made contented by ALLAH with what HE has given him. Nowadays when people say, ‘So so and so is very successful’ what they mean is, ‘He/she is making a lot of money or wealth.’ In the above-mentioned hadith ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) explains who qualifies to be called successful. It’s not having Car X, House in W and Job Z but rather anyone who accepts and practices Islam as His/her way of life. Someone who finds something to eat and is healthy and someone who Posses a thankful heart. Meaning we must try to appreciate the little we have as Muslims and look at those below us not those above us then praise ALLAH regularly for granting

DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF HAJAR (Alaiha Salaam), THE WIFE OF OUR GRANDAD IBRAHEEM ALAYHI SALAAM?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a.17th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Wednesday 8th February. 2023). *_DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF HAJAR (Alaiha Salaam), THE WIFE OF OUR GRANDAD IBRAHEEM ALAYHI SALAAM?_* BismilLah.  Let's continue from our topic in yesterday's reminder.  Giving up and losing hope in ALLAH (ArRaheem, The Most MERCIFUL)  essentially mean we don’t truly know or believe in ALLAH’s Names and Attributes. We don’t believe that HE is The Provider, The Protector, The All-Wise, The Source of Peace, The Giver of Peace, Relief and Victory. It means you think ALLAH(Al-Mu'min, The Guardian of Faith) is not sufficient for you and that's SHIRK. That’s an essential point to remember as soon as one is hit with a hardship. As soon as you visit any pastor, so called maalams or any source-sayer or fortune teller, you've committed SHIRK because these are satanic agents (evil jinns agents).  Remembering to trust ALLAH (Al-Muhaymin, The Preserver), have good expectatio

DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF HAJAR, THE WIFE OF OUR GRANDAD IBRAHEEM ALAYHI SALAAM?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha.16th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Tuesday 7th February. 2023). *_DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF HAJAR, THE WIFE OF OUR GRANDAD IBRAHEEM ALAYHI SALAAM?_* BismilLah.  It's a truly authentic story so be patient with the length, please.  I want us to imagine something. Imagine a husband telling his wife to get dressed because they’re going out. She obeys and follows. They get in the car. He drives far away… until they reach the middle of literally nowhere; a completely deserted area with absolutely nothing around. The husband then asks his wife to step out of the car with their little baby. She asks him why. He doesn’t respond. She gets out. He takes off! She runs after him with the baby asking why he is doing that. He tells her that he is fulfilling a religious duty; ALLAH (AL-hayyu, The Living) inspired him to do that! Let’s allow this to sink in for a moment…This is not a hypothetical scenario, a bedtime story or a legend. That's what hap
