These are daily messages that
include an Ayah along with an
exegesis that is taken from Al-
Tafsir Al-Muyassar. They help
develop a better understanding
of Allah's Book, give a taste of
its mercy and meanings, and
deepen the attachment of
Muslims to it based on their
understanding and
contemplation.
"Not equal are
the dwellers of
the Fire and the
dwellers of
Paradise. It is the
dwellers of
Paradise that will
be successful."
The Pious
"And march forth in the way
(which leads to) forgiveness
from your Lord, and for
Paradise as wide as the
heavens and the earth,
prepared for Al-Muttaqun (the
pious). Those who spend (in
Allah's Cause) in prosperity
and in adversity, who repress
anger, and who pardon men;
verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun
(the good-doers). And those
who, when they have
committed Fahishah (great sin
as illegal sexual intercourse) or
wronged themselves with evil,
remember Allah and ask
forgiveness for their sins; - and
none can forgive sins but Allah
- and do not persist in what
(wrong) they have done, while
they know.
For such, the reward is
Forgiveness from their Lord,
and Gardens with rivers
flowing underneath (Paradise),
wherein they shall abide
forever. How excellent is this
reward for the doers (who do
righteous deeds according to
Allah's Orders)."
(Surah Al-'Imran, 3:133-136)

Daily Hadith
These are daily messages that
include a Hadith from the
Prophet's Sunnah. The Hadith
are suited to the occasions that
are current at the time of
sending.
They cover all the acts of
worship, transactions, morals,
dress, and decoration, to
remind Muslims to follow the
Sunnah of their Prophet (peace
be upon him), as Allah says:
"Indeed, in the Messenger of
Allah (Muhammad peace be
upon him) you have a good
example to follow for him who
hopes for (the Meeting with)
Allah and the Last Day, and
remembers Allah much." (Surah
Al-Ahzab, 33:21)
The Messenger
of Allah (peace
be upon him)
said: “Reviling a
Muslim is an
iniquity and
fighting against
him is
(tantamount to)
disbelief.”
Treating Girls Kindly
On the authority of 'Aisha (may
Allah be pleased with her), the
wife of the Prophet (peace be
upon him), said, "A woman
came to me with her two
daughters. She asked me (for
charity), but found nothing on
me except one date, so I gave
it to her. She took it and then
divided it between her two
daughters and eating nothing
of it. She then got up and went
out, as did her daughters.
When the Prophet (peace be
upon him) came, I told him her
story. He (peace be upon him)
said, 'Whoever is to put to the
test of (raising) daughters, and
treats them well, they will be a
shield for him against the
Fire.'"

Daily Supplication
These are daily messages that
include a supplication or Dhikr.
Allah loves supplications and
they are a form of obedience to
Allah and a way of averting His
Anger. Allah says: "Say (O
Muhammad peace be upon him

pays attention to you only
because of your invocation to
Him.
"The supplications and Adhkar
selected are related from the
Prophet (peace be upon him),
the Companions, and the
Followers with a good chain of
transmission.
O Allah! I ask
You from all
good, the
immediate and
deferred, and
that which I
knew of and that
which I do not
know of.
Supplication of Travel
Glory to Him Who has
subjected this to us, and we
could have never had it (by
our efforts) O Allah! We ask
You for virtue and piety in this
journey of ours, and we ask
You for deeds which please
You. O Allah! Make our journey
easy for us and make the
length of it short for us.
O Allah! You are the
Companion on the journey,
and the One Who looks after
the family. O Allah! I take
refuge with You from the
difficulties of travel, being in a
bad predicament, and I take
refuge in You from an ill-fated
outcome with my wealth and

2. Stars move so fast that we cannot see them, but we see their previous locations. Allah says: "So I swear by the setting of the stars."

Muslim Women (Balqis)
Daily messages that include matters that interest women from among Ayahs, Hadith, juristic rulings, or Islamic advice. Women are the counterparts of men and they have rights similar to those over them in what is reasonable. It is important to care for Muslimahs from a young age and nurture piety in them and righteousness so they will be a good wife and mother who fears Allah when raising their children, who are the reservoir for the future.
1. Allah
preserved the inheritance of a woman when He says: "There is a share for women from what is left by parents and those nearest related."
2. The Prophet (peace be upon him) honored the mother and made her the most deserving person of kind treatment.
3. It is permissible for women to pray in the mosque, according to the Hadith: "Do not prevent the maid-servants of Allah from frequenting the mosques (for Prayers)."
4. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The world is but a (passing) enjoyment; and the best enjoyment of the world is a pious woman."
You know how important it is to maintain the ties of kinship. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Anyone who would like his sustenance to be extended and his age lengthened should maintain the ties of kinship." He also reported that Allah said: "The tie of kinship is suspended from the Throne and it says, ‘Whoever unites me, Allah will unite with him, and whoever severs me Allah will sever (His Ties with) him.’" You have a very big role to play in keeping strong ties between your husband and his mother, father, brothers, and sisters, and his other relatives. Be instrumental in keeping members of the family united, rather than disunited. This is one of your important roles; so don't neglect it.
One of the keys to happiness is to know your rights and responsibilities, and not go beyond them. Obey your husband, except in disobedience to Allah. Honor his rights in yourself and his property. Overlook his lapses; don’t offend him when he is present, and be faithful to him when he is absent. Be a pious wife, reach a mutual agreement and enjoy a loving and merciful marital life. Act according to the Prophet's Hadith: "The world is but a (passing) enjoyment; and the best enjoyment of the world is a pious woman." It is wonderful to surpass others in piety, as it affects the way you raise your children; on goodness and guidance. A pious woman protects her children and enfolds them in the blessings of her worship in this life and the Hereafter. A pious woman is keen to raise her children in piety and be pleased with them in this world and when they enter Paradise in the Hereafter.

O Allah! It is Your Mercy that I hope for, so do not entrust me with my affairs, even for a blink of an eye, and correct all of my affairs for me.
Comprehensive Words
Do you know that the Prophet (peace be upon him) loved the comprehensive supplications and left the others. So what can be better than to follow the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and often repeat the comprehensive supplications, such as the one mentioned in this Hadith. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "The most repeated supplication by the Prophet (peace be upon him) was: ‘Our Lord! Grant us the good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire.’" (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Women in Ramadan
Daily messages that include some rulings especially for women on the Prayer or fasting or how to make use of every minute of Ramadan to obey Allah in order to gain His Mercy, Forgiveness, and deliverance from Hellfire in this great month.
A woman divides her time in Ramadan between worshiping her Lord and taking care of her house and family.
The Fast of Menstruating
Women Muslim sister! You need to know the rulings pertaining to menstruation during Ramadan. Did you know that a menstruating woman is forbidden to fast, that her fast is invalid, and that she is required to make up for the missed days? If a woman starts her period when she is fasting, even if it is just a moment before sunset, her fast is void and she must make up for that missed day. If a woman feels the movement of her period before sunset, but the blood is not discharged until after sunset, her fast is complete, according to the most authentic opinion, as there is no ruling about internal blood. If a woman is menstruating when the dawn breaks, it is not valid for her to fast, even if she reaches a ritually purified state a minute after the dawn. If she reaches a ritually purified state before dawn and she fasts, her fast is valid, even if she does not take Ghusl (a ritual bath) until after dawn. This is similar to someone in a state of major ritual impurity due to sexual intercourse who intends to fast while in this state, if they do not take Ghusl until after the dawn has broken, their fast is valid. 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) sometimes woke up in the state of major ritual impurity from sexual intercourse not a wet dream, he would then

Best Manners
Daily messages that include everything that refines and purifies the soul. Fasting is one of the most important acts of worship as it elevates a Muslim’s morals. This message reminds Muslims of the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "If one of you is fasting do not use obscene language nor act ignorantly. And if anyone insults him or fights with him, he should say: ‘I am fasting’." (Related by Al-Bukhari)
Warning against the Traits
of the Hypocrites Islam gives a great importance to morals and manners and considers them an act of worship. Anyone who has bad morals, and is known for lying, breaking promises, and losing trusts will be censured by society and disgraced as a hypocrite. It is related on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There are three signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks he lies; and when he make a promise he breaks it; and when he is trusted he betrays (the trust)." (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) It is better for a Muslim to perfect his Islam and be truthful in his words to refine his soul. And what is better for him than to keep his promises to gain respect and what is better for him than to honor his trusts to be acquitted of his obligations. This is how Islam calls a Muslim to be kind in his dealings and refined his morals.

The Best Deeds
Daily messages that include the best deeds, encouraging Muslims to perform them. Allah says: "And say (O Muhammad peace be upon him) "Do deeds! Allah will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger (peace be upon him) and the believers." He also says: "Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) and do righteous deeds."
The Merit of Reciting the
Qur'an There are many texts talking about the merits of reciting the Qur'an, whether the Qur'an as a whole, some Surahs, or certain Ayahs. It is related in a Hadith on the authority of 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said: "The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it." (Related by Al-Bukhari) And another on the authority of 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) who reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Anyone who is proficient in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright, righteous angels; and anyone who falters in it, and finds it difficult, will have a double reward; one for recitation and the other for the hardship on the reciter." (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) I advise both myself and you to exert all effort in reciting the Qur'an during Ramadan, the month during which the Qur'an was revealed on Laylatul-Qadr.

Iron is used during times of war to make heavy military equipment and also equipment in times of peace. Modern science has proved that many meteors of iron showered the Earth and that it was not one of its basic components.
