Islamic Reminders

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to stop financial aid to Egypt and Jordan unless they agree to take in Palestinian refugees from Gaza. His plan aims to resettle Palestinians outside Gaza, effectively preventing their return to their homeland. The proposal has faced strong opposition from Arab nations, prompting Egypt to hold an emergency summit to discuss the matter.

Who is Allāh? He is Allāh - there is no god worthy of worship except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is Allāh - there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher of all, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might, the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him in worship! He is Allāh: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He alone has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth constantly glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise. [Sūrah al-Ḥashr, Verse 22-24]

Donald Trump said the United States is “committed to buying and owning Gaza,” and that he may allow other countries in the Middle East to help develop it. “Think of it as a big real estate site, and the United States is going to own it, and will slowly, very slowly, develop it,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it. Other people may do it, under our auspices,” Trump said. Trump’s initial proposal last week for the United States to “take over” Gaza and displace all its residents prompted a swift rejection from Saudi Arabia and sparked anger in nearby countries, including Jordan, that are already home to millions of Palestinian refugees.

My Lord! Inspire me to always be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit to Your Will. [Sūrah al-ʾAḥqāf, Verse 15]

They are those who do not bear false witness, and when they come across falsehood, they pass it by with dignity. They are those who, when reminded of the revelation of their Lord, do not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to it. They are those who pray, “Our Lord! Bless us with pious spouses and offspring who will be the joy of our hearts, and make us models for the righteous.” It is they who will be rewarded with elevated mansions in Paradise for their perseverance, and will be received with salutations and greetings of peace, staying there forever. What an excellent place to settle and reside! Say, [O Prophet] “You all would not even matter to my Lord were it not for your faith in Him. But now you disbelievers have denied the truth, so the torment is bound to come. [Sūrah al-Furqan, Verse 72-77]

If it is complete, then the voluntary (prayers) will also be recorded for him (as an increase). If it is not complete then Allāh will say to His angels: ‘Look and see whether you find any voluntary prayers for My slave, and take them to make up what is lacking from his obligatory prayers.’ Then all his deeds will be reckoned in like manner.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 1426]

Travelers to Saudi Arabia for ʿUmrah are no longer required to be vaccinated against Neisseria meningitis. This update was announced by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in a new circular on Thursday, outlining revised vaccination requirements for ʿUmrah pilgrims.

Narrated by Ubādah ibn aṣ-Ṣāmit رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever gets up at night and says: 'Lā ilāha illAllāhu, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shaiʾin qadīr. Alḥamdulillāhi wa-SubḥānAllāhi wa-Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāhu w-Allāhu Akbar wa-Lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāh.' لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير الحمد لله وسبحان الله ولا اله الا الله والله اكبر ولا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله (None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh. He is the Only One and has no partners. For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are due for Him. He is Omnipotent. Praise be to Allāh and Glory be to Allāh, and There is no God but Allāh, and Allāh is Greatest And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allāh). And then says: Allāhumma-ġfirlī اللهم اغفر لي (O Allāh! Forgive me). Or invokes (Allāh), he will be responded to, and if he performs ablution (and prays), his prayer will be accepted." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1154]

A Palestinian woman responds to Trumps plans to expel Palestinians from their land and take over Gaza

🚨 Saudi Arabia released a statement refusing to establish diplomatic relations with the Israeli occupation until the State of Palestine is established, this comes after US President Trump's plans to take over Gaza and displace the Palestinian people.

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه‎ reported Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as saying that Allāh, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: “I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2675a]

Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه‎ reported: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as having said this (and Nuʿmān) pointed towards his ears with his fingers): What is lawful is evident and what is unlawful is evident, and in between them are the things doubtful which many people do not know. So he who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless, and he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his animals round a preserve will soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things God his declared unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound and if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt, and hearken it is the heart. [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1599a]
