Islamic Reminders

Footballer Anwar El-Ghazi has pledged to donate €500,000 to children in Gaza after winning a legal battle with his former club FSV Mainz 05. The German club terminated El-Ghazi’s contract after he posted on social media calling for an end to the genocide committed by Israel, a court found this dismissal to be unfair, and ordered the club to pay compensation.

Former Israeli captive, Noa Argamani has exposed the lies of the Israeli media that claimed she was beaten and abused while in captivity by Hamas. In the story posted on her Instagram, Noa says “They didn’t hit me, they didn’t cut my hair” and then went on to say that she was hurt from collapse of a structure above her after Israeli air force bombed the vicinity.

ربنا وآتنا ما وعدتنا على رسلك ولا تخزنا يوم القيامة إنك لا تخلف الميعاد [Rabbanā waātinā ma waʿadttanā ʿalā rusulika walā thuk’zinā yawmal qiyāma - innaka lā tukh’liful miʿād] Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers and do not put us to shame on Judgment Day - for certainly You never fail in Your promise. [Sūrah ʾĀli ʿImrān, Verse 194]

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]

Gaza, Palestine; August 22nd, 2024

"Ex-Muslim" Youtuber Harris Slutan refused to pay his editor $10 and blocked him instead! The editor then changed the channel name to Scumbag Begger! 😂

May Allāh's punishment on the oppressors continue perpetually throughout eternity.

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]

Distressing scenes are emerging from Deir al-Balah in Gaza following an Israeli airstrike that struck a street market overcrowded with civilians, killing and wounding dozens, including children.

"Wake up, my son, please." A Palestinian father mourns his child, who was killed in the latest Israeli massacre at Deir al-Balah street market in Gaza.

"Let me kiss him one last time, please." A Palestinian child mourns his father, who was among the dozens killed in the relentless Israeli airstrikes on Gaza today.

Israeli occupation forces are bombing civilian areas in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.

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]
