 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 11th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Saturday 20th April 2024). *_QUR'AN AS A GUIDE TO MANKIND_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH did not create us and left us to find our own ways of life. ALLAH created mankind with guidance to follow towards returning to HIM successfully. We must study the guidance as a matter of urgency. It's not an option, but it's compulsory for anyone of us to study the guidance which is the Qur'an and Sunnah from an authentic source of knowledge else we could be deviated from the guidance and end us into the trap of Shaitan into the hell fire.  Some of the many examples in the Quran can be obtained from Qur'an 3:100-104. Please find time to study these 4 verses carefully from any authentic tafseer book, such as the reliable 10 volume ibn kathir books published by DarusSalaam.  Qur'an 3 Verse 100 guides us against following misguided  religious beliefs such as those who claim to be following Issah alaihi salaam.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 10th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Friday 19th April 2024). *_THE IMPORTANCE of HALAAL SUSTENANCE_*. BismilLah.  There is no doubt that one of the obligations upon the Muslim is that he/she earns for him/herself and his family a pure and halal sustenance. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "O People! ALLAH is al-Tayyib (Pure), and HE only accepts that which is pure! ALLAH has commanded the believers what HE has commanded the Messengers, for HE said, 'O Messengers! Eat from the pure foods, and do right,' and HE said, 'O you who believe! Eat from the pure and good foods ALLAH has given you.'" Then the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) mentioned a traveller on a long journey, who is dishevelled and dusty, and he stretches forth his hands to the sky, saying, "O my Lord! O my Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he

 *Major Dutifulness* [[--- Episode Two ---]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Service to parents is better than jihad *(using sword and got killed in the process)* for the sake of Allah the Almighty😳. Yes. This shows how important dutifulness to parents is.. This is confirmed in several hadiths which demonstrate the *priority* of this duty over all other considerations. (1) Abdullah ibn Amr (r.a.) said: “A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and asked his permission to take part in jihad. The Prophet asked him, ‘Are your parents alive?’ ‘Yes, they are,’ he replied. The Prophet told him, ‘Then exert yourself in their service *(meaning - go and take care of them)* ’”📚 (al-Bukhari). (2) Abdullah ibn Masud (r.a.) asked the Prophet (PBUH): “What is next to piety?” The Prophet replied, *‘To be good and dutiful to your parents.’* He then asked, ‘What is next?’ The Prophet replied, ‘To participate in jihad in Allah’s cause’ ” 📚 (al-Bukhari). (3) Talha Ibn Muaweya (r.a) nar

 *Major Dutifulness* [[--- Episode One ---]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The gravity of sins of not been dutiful to one's parents is so much that,, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Three acts will render one’s deeds *useless* ; 1⃣ associating others with Allah, 2⃣ *Uquq (not been dutiful) towards parents* and 3⃣ fleeing or running away) from the battle.” 📚 Authentic Hadith My people! Parents are a blessing from Allah, the Exalted, but their presence is often *taken for granted* and their rights, neglected especially when they grow old and become dependent on their children. Yes. This is the time you will see children talking harshly and rudely to parents and showing discomfort on their requests. Islam teaches obedience and kindness to parents, fulfilling their right, preserving their honour and warns against neglecting the rights of parents. Being dutiful to the parents is one of the greatest obligations and duties. That is why Allah Almighty has *p

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 9th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Thursday 18th April 2024). *_STAYING STEADFAST AFTER RAMADHAAN_*. Bismillah. Been Muslims of the creator not for Ramadhaan means we must continuously be in the state of obedience to ALLAH'S, firm upon His rules, steadfast upon His Deen, so that we are not of those who worship ALLAH only during one month or only in one place. Rather, the believer knows that the Lord of Ramadhan is also the Lord of other months, and that HE is the Lord of all times and places, so we must be steadfast upon the rules of the creator until we meets HIM while HE is pleased with us.  If standing in prayer at night during Ramadhan has ended, then there remains voluntary night prayer throughout the year. Let's strive to get closer to our Creator and abandon Satan because he is our enemy.  *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 8th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 17th April 2024). *_RULINGS ON OBSERVING THE THIRD, FORTIETH DAY AFTER THE DEATH OF A RELATIVE_*. BismilLah. Our Scholars based on Quran and Sunnah have stated that offering dua or prayers for the deceased after his burial is Sunnah, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (3221) from the hadeeth of ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may ALLAH be pleased with him) who said: When the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) had finished burying a deceased person, he would stand over him and say: “Pray for forgiveness for your brother, and ask that he be made steadfast, for he is being questioned now.”  Offering dua’ for the deceased Muslims in general, and for close relatives in particular, is also prescribed in general terms at any time, without specifying any particular time meaning we should make dua for our dead relatives and Muslims all the time but not a funeral as the kuffar does.  Choosi

 *Most Precious Gift* [[---Final Episode---]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم It is incorrect to believe that one has been humiliated by being granted a girl; rather it is an honour, a bounty and a gate towards Paradise. How many girls have been far more merciful and beneficial to their parents than their brothers? How many times has a son been a source of grief for his parents, to the point that they wished he was never born? It is enough of an honour for girls that the Prophets, may Allah exalt their mention, had daughters and that most of the children of our beloved Prophet  were daughters, namely: Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kalthoom and Fatimah. Therefore, Children are no doubt a great gift from Almighty Allah to all parents.. And parents must think of their children as such treasures that all the wealth and material resources are worthless as when compared to one’s children.. Yes.. We, as parents, should thank and be grateful to Almighty Allah for blessing us wi
