THE STORY OF CALIPHATE UTHMAN (r.t.a) (Episode 31)

 ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU . LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇.                                                                            *THE STORY OF CALIPHATE UTHMAN (r.t.a) (Episode 31)*   _______PAGE 1_______ According to Uthman his resignation from an office which he held on behalf of God would amount to his refusal to serve God, and that was against the spirit of Islam. He therefore welcomed death to deposition, and that was certainly most noble and elevating on the part of Uthman. Some writers have indulged in the view that at the last moment, Uthman had agreed to be deposed, but that the rebels did not allow him time to announce his deposition. There is no truth in such stories. Uthman stuck to his view to the last, and he preferred to die rather than abandon the post which he held on behalf of God. _______PAGE 2_______ As a matter of principle the view that Uthman held about the caliphate was correct and in conformity with the tradi

PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN (Faith)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 4th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 18th November, 2023). *_PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN (Faith)_*. BismilLah.  Scholars of Islaam based on Quran, Sunnah and the consensus of all scholars have  said that: “Belief is a statement of the tongue, sincerity of the heart and actions of the limbs. It increases with the increase of good deeds and decreases due to decreases in good deeds. So it will increase and decrease due to that (one’s deeds). Faith is not complete by the statement of the tongue except with actions. Both statements of the tongue and actions are not complete except with intention (purely for ALLAH'S sake). Statement of the tongue, actions and intentions are not complete unless they are in accordance with the Quran and sunnah.” This is a simple formula but that's the foundation of good faith. Let's strive to protect our EEMAAN by applying these simple formula in our daily ways of life. Don't just follow ignorant

LET'S STRIVE TO DEFEAT OUR BAD HEART DESIRES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 3rd day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Friday, 17th November, 2023). *_LET'S STRIVE TO DEFEAT OUR BAD HEART DESIRES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. As Muslims, it's important we keep reminding each other about our ways of life, as ALLAH says, reminding only benefit believers. My reminder this morning to you and to myself is to remember that this earth is a temporal place of abode; we will all die soon, no doubt about that. Over 100 died yesterday, over 100 died this morning, and over 100 may die before you finish reading this reminder, and it's a FACT. It could be you or me so why not live our life like a traveller who is resting under a tree as our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam explained, do you think he will be spending his entire time thinking about something else other than his journey ahead? Let's focus on our obedience to ALLAH. Our desires, which aid us to fornicate, steal, envy, backbite, etc. We

PRAYING FOR OUR ENEMIES

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 2nd day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Thursday, 16th November, 2023). *_PRAYING FOR OUR ENEMIES_*. BismilLah.  It was the practice of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam to supplicate and pray to ALLAH to guide his enemies of Islam and to benefit them in the Hereafter. Islam teaches us to love for others what we love for ourselves. Each one of us wants to be guided and, therefore, we should ask ALLAH to guide others even if they are unbelievers, sinners, or oppressors. Islam is a beautiful religion and only teaches what's right.  We should supplicate for guidance and forgiveness for people in general. It is the essence of ALLAH to be forgiving and mericful, and the Angels roam the earth seeking forgiveness for everyone upon it. By expressing mercy and forgiveness in our supplications, we fulfill ALLAH’s plan for the creation. ALLAH says: وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ أ

THE STORY OF CALIPHATE UTHMAN (r.t.a) (Episode 30)

OUR TOPIC IS 👇.                                                                            *THE STORY OF CALIPHATE UTHMAN (r.t.a) (Episode 30)*                                                      _______PAGE 1_______ Most of the difficulties in the time of Uthman arose because of differences about the concept of the Caliphs. Most of the people regarded the Caliph as an Arab Sheikh on a higher scale amenable to the will of the people and even their idiocynracies. Uthman was of the view that the analogy of a tribal Sheikh did not apply to the Caliph.- He held that there was a divinity about the office of the Caliph, which had to be understood with reference to the Quran and the traditions and not in accordance with any man made concepts. _______PAGE 2_______ The Holy Quran and the caliphate In the Holy Quran, the term "caliphate" has been used in general terms with reference to communiti

ISLAM IS A MERCY FOR THE ENTIRE CREATION, EVEN TO ENEMIES OF ISLAM

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 1st day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Wednesday, 15th November, 2023). ISLAM IS A MERCY FOR THE ENTIRE CREATION, EVEN TO ENEMIES OF ISLAM_*. BismilLah.  ISLAM teaches us to be merciful to the entire creation, to Muslims and non-Muslims, to friends and enemies and even to the animals, trees, rocks etc. Mercy (Raḥmah) in Islam has a very wide meaning that includes kindness, compassion, love, tolerance, patience with people, and to treat others the way we would love to be treated. This Islamic value is at the core of the prophetic message and meaning of faith, just as it was in all of the revealed religions before Islam. Every Muslim needs to strive to be an agent of mercy on earth for all human beings and creatures. ALLAH says to the nearest meaning: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ I have not sent you except as mercy to the worlds. Qur'an 21:107. Which means mercy to everything on earth.  ALLAH intends for the mercy of

It was also alleged that Uthman was weak and he did not exercise check on his Governors. In the accounts that have come down to us, only vague allegations have been made, and no hard and fast facts have been cited to establish what lapses did the Governors of Uthman make anti how Uthman failed to check them. It is made out that these Governors acted according to their own caprices, and did not carry out the orders of Uthman. _PAGE 2_ If the orders of Uthman were not obeyed, Uthman should have been the first person to complain against his Governor
