Islamic Reminders

Narrated ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allāh will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allāh will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allāh will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2442]

We did not send messengers before you [O Prophet] except mere men inspired by Us. If you [polytheists] do not know this already, then ask those who have knowledge of the Scriptures. We did not give those messengers supernatural bodies that did not need food, nor were they immortal. Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, saving them along with whoever We willed and destroying the transgressors. We have surely revealed to you a Book, in which there is glory for you. Will you not then understand? [Sūrah al-ʾAnbiyāʾ, Verse 7-10]

I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins but You.

We ask You, O Most Generous, to fill our lives with contentment, to grant us patience in hardship and gratitude in ease, and to keep our hearts firm upon Your obedience. O Allāh, make our last words in this world “Lā ilāha illa Allāh” and resurrect us under the banner of Your beloved Prophet ﷺ.
