TREAT THE BAD RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WITH GOODNESS.
BismilLah

In Quran 41:34, ALLAH says (Tafsir ibn kathir);👇
وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّيَةُ
The good deed and the evil deed can not be equal. means there is a huge difference between them.
ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
Repel (the evil) with one which is better,
means, `when someone does you wrong, repel him by treating him well,' as Umar, may ALLAH be pleased with him, said,
"There is no better punishment for one who has disobeyed ALLAH with regard to you than you're obeying ALLAH with regard to him."
فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ
then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.
means, `if you treat well those who treat you badly, this good deed will lead to reconciliation, love and empathy, and it will be as if he is a close friend to you and he will feel pity for you and be kind to you.' Quran is the source of guidance indeed, AlhamdulilLah. This verse is enough to wipe away pride and arrogance in us if we follow its guidance.

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and keep protecting us from any satanic influences.

HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN OUR CREATOR?
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 su***de which leads to hell fire. 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 hopelessness and desperation, and that's sheitaan.

If you are reading this, then think of it as a message from The Most Merciful! Listen to HIM as HE says:👇
“O My servants who have transgressed against yourselves by sinning, do not despair of MY MERCY. Indeed, I forgive ALL SINS. Indeed, Is ME the Forgiving, the Merciful.” ( Qur’an 39: 53). Allahu Akbar.
ALL SINS ALLAH SAYS EVEN IF SHIRK OR IDOL WORSHIP, HE WILL FORGIVE AS LONG AS YOU REPENT.

Listen to HIM, as HE says again:👇
”....when those come to you who believe in MY verses, say, “Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon HIMSELF MERCY: that any of you who does wrong out of ignorance and then repents after that and corrects himself – indeed, HE is Forgiving and Merciful.”
(Qur’an, 6: 54).

Now, what's your excuse? Smile and say AlhamdulilLah.

May ALLAH, Al Hayyu, Al Qayyuum, the living and Maintainer of life, keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences.
Allaahumma

HOW TRUE IS OUR BELIEVE THAT ALLAH IS ALL HEARER AND ALL SEER.
BismilLaah.

We often recite Quran 42:11
“There is nothing like unto HIM, and HE is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer”. How do we implement these simple and similar verses in our daily lives?

When you believe that ALLAH is the All-Hearer, you will be cautious regarding every statement that angers ALLAH because you know that HE hears you, and you fear HIS punishment. You will soon avoid every statement that involves the disobedience of ALLAH, the Mighty and Sublime, because you believe HE is the All-Hearer. If this belief does not make this happen to you, know that your belief that ALLAH as the All-Hearer is, without a doubt, deficient.

If you truly believe that ALLAH is the All-Hearer, you would not say anything except that which pleases HIM, particularly when you are talking about HIS Shari’ah. The same applies to the fact that HE see whatever you do, so don’t do anything thinking no one has seen you. The Greatest (ALLAH) sees you all the time.

We pray that ALLAH INCREASE us knowledge and wisdom to understand the purpose of all HIS rules, which are meant to only help us.
Allaahumma Aammeen 🤲

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 18th day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Sunday, 31st December, 2023). CONTROLLING OUR TONGUE FROM BACKBITING AND SLANDERING.
BismilLah.

Controlling the tongue for many people is more difficult than abstaining from food and drinks. It is easy to abstain from food and drink, but abstaining one’s tongue is a really difficult one even during fasting.

What we need to remember is that ALLAH is not in need of the fasting of such a person. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said:👉 “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, ALLAH has no need of him giving up his food and drink.”
[Tirmidhi 707].

Even though it is difficult to always keep our tongue under control, let us try our best. Let us constantly keep reminding ourselves that we are not only abstaining from food and drink and that we are also abstaining from all sorts of sins, which will cause us to attain the anger of ALLAH. Our Mondays and Thursdays fasting rewards depend on the quality of how we made used of the day that's how we started and end the day not just avoiding eating and drinking but also how we restrained our tongue from bad words and phrases. How we recited and listened to the Quran. How many azkar and other good deeds we did, etc, such as giving Sadaqah and sincere advice to others, all add up to a more rewarding day.

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences.
Allaahumma Aammeen 🤲

LESSONS FROM SUURATUL FAATIHAH continues.
BismilLah.

When ALLAH (swt) describes the people who have HIS Grace, they always come from within the group of people ALLAH mentioned in Qur’an, 4:69 as follows which we must strive to follow to become successful.

Nabiyeen/Prophets:👇
The bearers of the Message of ALLAH, the deliverers of Knowledge from ALLAH to humanity, and the providers of the religious foundation for generation and all the groups that follow below.

Siddiqeen/the Sincere and Truthful:👉 Those whose hearts are purified and are sincere in their reverence for ALLAH and in their actions amongst people. Truthfulness emanates not only in their speech but in their actions because their intentions are pure and for ALLAH alone.

Shuhadaa/Witnesses:👇
Those who actively strive to witness to the Truth under extraordinary circumstances, whether under threat of loss of life or wealth. They testify to Islam and call to goodness and benefit and may eventually find themselves giving all they have in order to defend innocent people and protect the lives of others.

Swaaliheen/the Righteous: Those who dedicate extraordinary amounts of time to the doing of good deeds. Prayer, fasting, giving charity, visiting the sick, helping the orphan, remembering the name of ALLAH, reciting the Qur’an, and doing their utmost to have their limbs always in the worship of the Creator and in the service of HIS Creation.

It is amazing that in describing the people of the Straight path, the Qur’an mentions all of the various goals and methods, the seeking of knowledge, the purification of the soul, activism, and the doing of good deeds.

As a Muslim today, you can not find any group of people possessing all these qualities above aside from the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his companions so its a must for any Muslim to learn more about the ways of t

CAN A MAN AND A WOMAN TALK IN PRIVATE ON THE INTERNET TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF MARRIAGE?
BismilLah.

Our learned Imams have said based on the Qur'an and Sunnah that, a relationship between a man and woman should be controlled by Sharia. In other words, it is Haram for a man/woman to have a relationship outside marriage. This is a well documented fact I'm sure every Muslim knows. A Muslim man/woman should not speak or write to the opposite s*x as long as there is no need. In case of need to such a relationship, they (man and woman) should be governed by Sharia limitations and teaching morals and good behaviour so that they avoid any form of temptation.

In this vein, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) warned us from the woman's temptation saying: "I am not leaving behind a more harmful trial (cause of mischief) for men than women"
[al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The Satan entices one to commit mistakes. So, a Muslim has to be careful of him.
ALLAH Ta'ala Says:👉 "O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahshâ' [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal s*xual in*******se, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islâm, etc.)]. …}
[Qur'an, 24: 21].
So whoever wants to marry has to seek information about the one whom he/she is going to marry, about his/her morals, family and especially about his/her adherence to religious practices. Here, we state one cannot obtain such information and knowledge by Internet or anything like that (letter/phone). Don't make a mistake to trust what the person you intend marrying tells you. Research about him or her without their knowledge and base your findings to decide to marry them. That's the shariah way. If you cannot find a means

SO CALLED NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AS CYCLONES, HERICANES, EARTHQUAKES IN RELATION TO ALLAH'S MERCY.
BismilLah.

The Arabic word for mankind is Insaan. One of the meanings of Insaan is forgetfulness. Human beings are forgetful, and we need constant reminders as to who we are, why we are here on earth, and to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. All our acts of worship, our Salaah, Zakaat, our fasting and Hajj, are actually reminders of this unique relationship between the Creator and the created, between the Rabb and His abd, the Lord and His servant. We Muslims, if we aspire to become true believers, we have to be constantly aware of our utter reliance on ALLAH: our utter and absolute helplessness in the face of the titanic forces of nature around us.

The Burma cyclone, American hericanes and the Chinese earthquakes etc are timely reminders, if we need reminding, that the image we have of earth, as a serene and peaceful planet, is actually wrong. This is not a peaceful planet, by any means. Those stunning and idyllic photographs and landscape paintings that we enjoy so much describe only one small facet, one small aspect of the face of mother earth. The wider picture of our planet is much more complex, much more fearsome. They are all under the command of ALLAH. They are some of the soldiers of ALLAH. Regardless of our technology and how powerful nation we claim to be, we cannot stop ALLAH striking to proof HE exist who MUST BE WORSHIPED.

May ALLAH keep guiding us all, grant us understanding of the deen and protect us from any satanic infusion.
Allaahumma Aammeen 🤲

QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL MUSLIM CONTINUES.
BismilLah.

Let's continue with our topic yesterday. ALLAH continued by saying:👇
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ
And those who turn away from Al-Laghw.
Al-Laghaw refers to falsehood, which includes Shirk, sin, and any words or deeds that are of no benefit.
As ALLAH says in Qur'an (25:72):👇
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّواْ كِراماً
And if they pass by Al-Laghw, they pass by it with dignity.
It basically means a Muslim must avoid associating with people who like talking for fun without any benefits. People can gather and talk talk talk and nothing beneficial aside gossiping, backbiting, slandering etc and a Muslim must stay away from such gathering or find a way of changing the topic into beneficial talk such as asking beneficial Islam topic so that any learned around can respond to turn the conversations into Islamic lessons. Whenever anyone call you on phone to talk about someone else's issue just find an excuse to end the call before you fall into the trap of shei1tan. To be continued tomorrow In Shaa ALLAH. Please remember today is Friday.

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences.

ALLAH IS AL-FATTAH.
BismilLah.

AL-FATTAAH means, The Opener, The Judge. The One who opens all the doors of Opportunities, profit and sustenance to HIS slaves/servants. The gate of the solution of every difficut can be easily opened by HIM. HE makes clear what is unclear. Al-Fattaah is the One who judges between HIS slaves with perfect justice.
ALLAH, Al-Fattah sends solutions when we least expect it. Some matters may seem like dilemmas at first. Yuusuf alayhi salaam was imprisoned. But it was through the imprisonment that he became the Minister. So remember that openings can come through things that look like problems to begin with so search the positives of every issues that seems problematic and always remember Innamal Usri ? Yusraa. AlhamdulilLah. Lets make good use of this attribute of ALLAH when seeking any help from HIM. Praise HIM with this attribute first before asking for your favour such as yaa Fattah BiRahmatika Astagheeth. Oh ALLAH you are the source of any opportunities so with your Mercy I seek your help.

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences.

THE HIDDEN BLESSINGS OF ILLNESSES, SICKNESSES and HARDSHIPS.
BismilLah.

Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated that ALLAH'S Messenger salallahu alayhi wasallam said:👉 “On the Day of Resurrection, when people who have suffered affliction on earth are given their reward, those who were always healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world.”
(Al-Tirmidhi, 1570).
SubhanAllah, whatever pain we suffer in this life is not in vain as Muslims. It is not wasted. ALLAH the Most High has a plan for us, and HE is the best of planners. We must have faith in HIM and HIS plan for us. Any form of hardship is an expiation for our sins to be wiped so that we can enter Jannatul Firdaus without any sins.

We ask ALLAH, AL-GHAFFAR (The All- and Oft-Forgiving) to have mercy on us all and forgive our sins.
Allaahumma Aammeen 🤲
