The reason behind our miserable lives.
How to wipe your previous week’s sins in 5 steps.
What to recite after you wake up
Latest videos posted on our social media platforms, and the best features of the Muslim Sadiq App.
Assalam O Alikum Brothers & Sisters,
We all know about what’s happening to Muslims all over the world. We Muslims are numerous in numbers, but still, we are unable to defend ourselves.
What’s the reason behind it? Why is Allah not helping us anymore? What is it that has brought Allah’s wrath upon us?
This is going to be the highlighted topic of today’s newsletter, and it would be great if you do a self-analysis after reading the newsletter.
Apart from that, we have also picked up a hadith in which Prophet Muhammad PBUH described the preparation of Friday prayer and a Dua to recite after waking up.
You will also find our latest videos from the past week, so make sure to give them a thumbs up and share them with your loved ones.
After reading the newsletter, please inform us with your feedback! JazakAllah 😃

Ayah of the Week:
وَمَنۡ اَعۡرَضَ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِىۡ فَاِنَّ لَـهٗ مَعِيۡشَةً ضَنۡكًا وَّنَحۡشُرُهٗ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ اَعۡمٰى ١٢٤
But whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment.”
This verse applies to every single person, including Muslims. It is a powerful statement explaining that if you turn away from Allah’s remembrance, the Quran, then your life will be a miserable one.
Allah will take away Sakinah (peace) from your heart, and once it is gone, your bank balance, cars, or other luxuries won’t make you happy.
But how is this applicable to Muslims? Even though they accept Allah as their God and Prophet Muhammad PBUH as his messenger.
Brothers and Sisters, the truth is that we are only Muslims by name because we don’t act like a Muslim…
Are we not the ones who delay Salah or sometimes abandon it? How many of us don’t backbite? And we all know that Allah forbids lying, but are we not among those who lie regularly on small matters?
Such traits are evidence that we Muslims have turned away from the remembrance of Allah. This is the reason why Muslims are living miserable lives.
May Allah guide us towards the straight path!
Hadith of the Week:
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ يَغْتَسِلُ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَيَتَطَهَّرُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ طُهْرٍ، وَيَدَّهِنُ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ، أَوْ يَمَسُّ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ، فَلاَ يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ يُنْصِتُ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ الإِمَامُ، إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى ".
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."
These are the recommended actions that everyone should perform on Friday; we will write them in a sequence and defined manner so that you can follow these steps easily.
1. Perform Ghusl.
2. Use Siwak (if available)
3. Apply Perfume
4. Perform at least two rakahs.
5. Don’t talk to anybody during the Khutbah.
Just five simple steps and your sins from the previous week will be gone!
Dua of the Week:
الحَمْـدُ لِلّهِ الّذي أَحْـيانا بَعْـدَ ما أَماتَـنا وَإليه النُّـشور
Alḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī 'aḥyānā ba`da mā 'amātanā wa 'ilayhin-nushūr.
Praise is to Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return.
