ISLAM between BLASPHEMY and EXTREMISM Continues

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Friday, 19th May, 2023). *_ISLAM between BLASPHEMY and EXTREMISM Continues_*. BismilLaah.  Let's continue with the reminder yesterday. If you couldn't receive it, please request a copy before reading this one.  Generally, the Prophet was commanded to endure any insult or mockery from his enemies, which resulted from their bad character. ALLAH says: خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant. Quran 7:199. Abdullah ibn Zubair explained this verse, saying: أُمِرَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْعَفْوَ مِنْ أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ The Prophet was commanded to forgive the people’s bad character. Sunan Abu Dawud 4787. There are many recorded incidents in the life of the Prophet in which he was mocked, defamed, and even physically attacked for his faith in Islam, but despite this abuse the Prophet r

ISLAM between BLASPHEMY and EXTREMISM

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Thursday, 18th May, 2023). *_ISLAM between BLASPHEMY and EXTREMISM_*. This is a sensitive topic so please be patient with the length and read through for ALLAH sake before jumping into typing aameen. BismilLah.  The general answer to blasphemy as commanded in the Quran is to respond with patience, beautiful preaching, and graceful avoidance. The Quran records the fact that the Prophet was called a “sorcerer,” a “madman,” and a “liar,” yet ALLAH commanded him to be patient and to increase his acts of worship. ALLAH says: وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا Be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance. Qur'an 73:10. And ALLAH says: فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ So be patient over what they say and exalt with the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setti

HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN ALLAH?

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 27th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Wednesday, 17th May, 2023). *_HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN ALLAH?_* BismilLah.  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. AstaghfirulLah.  If you fall in 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. You didn’t lose. You have the power to come back stronger and more triumphant than you ever were. ALLAH’s Mercy and Forgiveness are there for you! Yes, for you! The only loser is the one who whispers to your thoughts of hopele

BE A MUSLIM BY ACTION NOT BY NAME

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-thalaatha. 26th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Tuesday, 16th May, 2023). *_BE A MUSLIM BY ACTION NOT BY NAME_*. BismilLah. What the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the righteous early generations agreed upon on this topic is that faith consists of both words and deeds, and may increase and decrease; there is no faith unless it is accompanied by actions. Saying I am a Muslim is not enough my brothers and sisters. We must act to earn that title of A MUSLIM. We must SHOW to non Muslims what Islam is all about not by telling them or by our dress code. It's a sad reality that We Muslims are Minority to non Muslims but unfortunately majority of thieves in any community are Muslims, majority of bad boys or girls today are Muslims, the title A MUSLIM is now associated with bad name why? Because we are failing to live our lives by the Qur'an and Sunnah that's all.  We Muslims of today are by name not by actions. We are busy with politics, fighting each othe

LET'S BE PRACTISING MUSLIMS NOT JUST BY NAME

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul ahad. 24th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Sunday, 14th May, 2023). *_LET'S BE PRACTISING MUSLIMS NOT JUST BY NAME_*. Bismillah. As Muslims, we should know that the Messenger of ALLAH  sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was sent by ALLAH to the whole of mankind, to explain and to make clear to us all that which is good and brings one closer to ALLAH; and also to explain to us all that is evil and would distance a person from ALLAH. The reason for this is that life  with all its variety, colours, and manifestations is built upon two important matters:  Firstly: Knowing the good, in order to follow it. Secondly, knowing the evil, in order to keep away from it. So, for example, in the matter of Tawhid of ALLAH (to single out ALLAH alone for worship), the crux of Islam, it is built on eemaan (faith) in ALLAH and the rejection of shirk, kufr and taghut (All that is worshipped other than, or along with, ALLAH). Eemaan  in Allah is good, whilst belief in a

The Quraish were cut off from all water, as the only stream and the source of water was in the occupation of the Muslims. When the battle began the sun stared in the face of ihe Quraish warriors, which greatly confused them. The Muslims fought with the sun at their back, and this was a great advantage for them. When the battle was at its height, the Holy Prophet picked up a handful of pebbles and threw them in the direction of the enemy saying, "Confusion seize them!" And then a dust storm arose. It blew into the faces of the Quraish warriors. _____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻... At this stage the Holy Prophet ordered a general charge. The Muslims rushed forward borne

Parties of men would go out for some distance on the route to Mecca and there wait for the Prophet to come. Several days passed away and the Holy Prophet did not come. Umar felt uneasy and he thought of going to Mecca to ascertain why the Holy Prophet was late in coming. Then one noon the Holy Prophet accompanied by Abu Bakr arrived at Quba. As they arrived the people crowded round them. As the people had not seen the Holy Prophet before, it was difficult for them to know as to who out of the two was the Holy Prophet. _____________*PAGE 2*_____________ ✍🏻... Seeing this predicament of the people, Abu Bakr stood up and shielded the Holy Prophet with his mantle. Umar arrived at the s
