THE KINDS OF WATER FOR PURIFICATION in ISLAM

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-khamis. 1st day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Thursday 14th January 2021). *BismilLah* Water is broken down into categories: Mutlaq water, used water, water mixed with pure elements, and water mixed with impure elements. Mutlaq Water is that which is considered inherently pure, and therefore may be used to purify oneself.  The types include: a. Rain, Snow etc b. Sea Water: Abū Hurairah ra, states: “It’s water is pure and it’s dead (animals) are lawful” (related by “the five” and Al-Bukhāri calls it sahīh). c. Zamzam Water. Used Water is that which is left over after one does Wudhu or Ghusl. This water may be used to purify oneself. The Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam wiped his head with the water remaining on his hands from wudhu’.”(Ahmad & Abū Dawūd narrated).  Water Mixed with Pure Elements includes water that has been mixed with substances that are considered inherently pure. Examples of pure substances are dough, flowers, leaves, saff

THE UNSEEN IMPACT OF THE RELIGION ISLAM

 MANY NON-MUSLIMS HAVE EMBRACED ISLAM  AFTER KNOWING SOME THE DOCTRINES OF THE RELIGION AND IN THAT PROCESS THEY REALSIZED THAT MUSLIMS ARE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF PROPHET ISSAH (JESUS) Peace Be Upon Him. 1) Jesus ( Pbuh ) taught that there is only One God and Only God should be worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29.  Muslims also believe this as taught in the Qur’an verse 4:171. 2) Jesus ( Pbuh ) didn’t eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , And neither do Muslims as taught in the Qur’an verse 6:145. 3) Jesus ( Pbuh ) greeted with the words “as salaamu alaikum” ( Peace be with you ) in John 20:21.  Muslims also greet each other this way. 4) Jesus ( Pbuh ) always said “God Willing” ( Inshallah ),  Muslims say this too before doing anything as taught in the Qur’an verses 18:23-24. 5) Jesus ( Pbuh ) washed his face, hands, and feet before praying.  The Muslims do the same. 6) Jesus ( Pbuh ) and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their head to the ground (See Matthew 26:39).  Muslim

MOTIVATIONAL STORY OF THE DAY

 VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE  A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago.  It is a bit older now but before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.  The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”  The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.”  The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s a Holden Torana and it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors”  Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not

THE HARD TRUTH

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS

 TRUE SERVANTS OF ALLAH HAS A UNIQUE Attribute.   Bismillahi,  ALLAH says in the Quran; And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace. Al-Furqan 25:63 ALLAH is telling us the attributes of the believing servants of HIM, those who walk on the earth "Hawna", meaning that they walk with dignity and humility, not with arrogance and pride. This is like the Aayah: وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى الاٌّرْضِ مَرَحًا And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance... (17:37). So these people do not live on earth with arrogance or pride. This does not mean that they should walk like sick people, making a show of their humility. What is meant here by Hawn is serenity and dignity, as the Messenger of ALLAH said: When you come to the prayer, do not come rushing in haste. Come calmly and with tranquility, and whatever you catch up with, pray, and whatever you miss, make it up. If the ignorant

THE TRUE ACT OF WORSHIP

[Al- An 'am 6:82 ] Hadith Abbas ibn 'Abdul Muttalib Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He has indeed Tasted the delightful flavour of Iman; who is pleased with ALLAH as Rabb, and with ISLAM as Deen (religion) and with Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam as (ALLAH's) Messenger.                 (Sahih Muslim) NOTE :  It means that whosoever worships ALLAH Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and Leads a life according to Islam with complete obedience to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam alo
