Who wants to go for umrah?

A brother informed me about what he heard Shaykh, when he and some brothers visited him, in a bid to invite him from a lecture, he said they could see the stress on his face and when they presented their request to him, Shaykh agreed to honor it. He then asked how he manages the tight schedule, Shaykh said “only Allāh know how many people has listened/followed what he was preaching during his days in tijaniyyah, many of whom he may not be able to reach now, so would he not try as much as he can to inform people about the right path? Maybe, just maybe. We beg Allāh to preserve him upon Khayr.

I have said this in the past, Yoruba movies/African Magic is a great problem to the sound aqeedah of a Muslim, you should stay faaaaar away from it if you don’t want to fall. It is from Yoruba films majority of people learnt: Ma joko tetere (consult babalawo). Ile ala alfa. Bata wahala (demonizing polygyny). Iya e lo n she e. Ogun idile. Akose jaiye (ile yemiwo). Village people (many hates their extended family in the village cos of this). Etc

10 days challenge!!!✨🔥 if you’re a beginner learning data analytics and you want to stay consistent,
let’s do a 10-day challenge where we post what we learn every single day 😭 let me know if you’re interested.

One hadith scholar most don't know today (died few years ago) is the Ethiopian Muhadith Muhammad ibn Adam al-Wallawi, the long-time teacher at Dar al-Khayriyyah in Makkah. He was a scholar of hadith, fiqh, Arabic language, poetry, Qur’an, and the subtle sciences that bind them.

Good morning, @toyin_abraham1 I have seen your new movie making rounds on the Internet, albeit for the wrong reason. A negative PR you did not imagine. I consider it important to let you know that the script is fundamentally flawed because no two religions worship the same God and in this case, the Muslims and the Christians. The Christians, for example, worship 3 gods — father, son and the holy spirit. Sometimes, 4, Mary as the 4th god. The Muslims on the other hand, worship the One and true God. The God of Mary and Jesus. The Christians believe their gods, albeit 3 and sometimes, 4, are one and true god while the Muslims are unshakably monotheistic, with the belief that the one and true God is the one who breathed life into Jesus, elevated him and will cause him to descend at the end of time. These irreconcilable beliefs all point to one undeniable fact: the Muslims and the Christians do not worship the same God. In Islam, God is One and in Christianity, 3 and sometimes, 4 and most times, 3-in-1. Tolerance is demonstrated and achieved by living peacefully, not by pretending to validate each other's beliefs. Additionally, the marriage of a Muslim woman to a non Muslim man as your movie cover suggests, is eternally prohibited in Islam. I am surprised some of the cast who are Muslims endorse this gross misrepresentation. It is something that ought not have happened in the first place. Even the bible disavows an unequally yoked union. Commodifying faith in this circumstance is indeed a bad idea! Please right the awful impression!

The hadeeth about 73 sects in Islam It is reported in various forms from a number of Companions, among them: Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan Abu Hurairah Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas Anas ibn Malik Awf ibn Malik

For record purpose 1. That al-Buhkari and Muslim didn't record a hadith doesn't mean it's weak. 2. Every student of knowledge knows that a hadith is not understood from a single text. Its versions are gathered, compared and read together before any discussion or ruling is made.

I laugh in Chinese 😂 Should I burst your bubble? Let me burst it because I see that you don’t want to learn. You have been fed with lies and it has compounded your ignorance. You are confusing the first three hundred years of early Christianity with the last 1700 years of Christendom. Yes, the early followers of Jesus were persecuted. However, the moment the Roman Empire adopted Christianity under Constantine and later made it the only legal religion with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, the persecuted became the violent persecutors. Pagans were slaughtered and their temples destroyed. Have you read about Charlemagne? During the Saxon Wars in the 8th century, he issued a law called the “Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae.” His official state policy was baptism or death. I know you don’t know this Barbie 😂. He beheaded thousands of Saxons in a single day at the Massacre of Verden for refusing to convert. When the Conquistadors arrived in the Americas, they read a document called the “Requerimiento” to the native populations. It demanded they submit to the Church and the Spanish Crown, or face war, enslavement, and death. Was that people repenting and turning to Jesus? State violence played a huge role in Christianizing Europe and the Americas. Now let me turn to Islam. I see that you are ignorant, and this has made you conflate political expansion with religious conversion. When Muslim armies defeated the Byzantine and Persian empires, they conquered land and established political authority. They did not put swords to the necks of civilians to change their faith. If they did, places like Egypt, Syria, and Persia would have become Muslim overnight. However, historical records show these regions remained majority Christian and Zoroastrian for almost 300 years after the initial Islamic conquest. They converted gradually over centuries under the Dhimmi system because they were protected and allowed to keep their faith. Take a look at the largest Muslim populations today. Indonesia, Malaysia, and massive regions of East and West Africa. No Muslim army ever marched there. Islam spread entirely through trade routes, scholars, and the moral character of Muslim merchants. Do not take my word for it. Sir Thomas Arnold, a non-Muslim historian in his book “The Preaching of Islam” thoroughly dismantled this sword myth. In fact, the famous British historian De Lacy O'Leary wrote in his book “Islam at the Crossroads” and stated expressly that: the myth of the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated. Will I open your head and speak truth to it if you can’t be open minded to learn? This subject matter is well above your pay grade. Maybe your boss Dachomo will do better. And I promise, I will school him. Thank you for your attention.

Ikhwah seek knowledge before you engage in religious discussions. Don't start unnecessary arguments and when asked for evidence you would say my Ustaadh said. Your Ustaadh is not an evidence.

Why I hate people who talk with 2 sides of their mouth. It's because that attitude is based on the belief that their smart and you're stupid. It annoys me so much. It's a different thing if you make a U-turn and change your position.

Dear Zuha, I know you are inquisitive about how our religious days fit into the modern world. It is a brilliant question. I will be breaking this down for you so you can clearly see that Islam is not a copycat. It is a complete system with its own deep, independent roots. Firstly, you asked: if the Gregorian calendar is not real, why do Muslims pray on Friday, and is there a different Friday in the Islamic calendar? To help you and others understand, we have to go back to history. Pope Gregory was the one who introduced the Gregorian calendar, and he introduced it in 1582. However, when you look at Islamic history, you will see that Muslims had been observing Jumu'ah for nearly a thousand years before that Pope was even born. If you open classical books of Islamic history such as the Seerah of Ibn Hisham or The Sealed Nectar, the physical proof is right there. These books documented the very first Jumu'ah prayer held by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 622 CE. It took place in the valley of Ranuna during his migration from Mecca to Medina. In that same era, Allah revealed an entire chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Jumu'ah, where He commanded the believers to leave their worldly trades and gather. This proves Yawm al-Jumu'ah was a lived reality in the 7th century, over 900 years before the Gregorian calendar existed in Rome. Now, you might wonder how this connects to the Friday we know today. Frankly, the seven day weekly loop is an entirely different system from how we count solar or lunar months. It is an ancient, unbroken mathematical cycle. You do not even have to take my word for it. Non Muslim historians and sociologists agree on this. For instance, Eviatar Zerubavel in his book The Seven Day Circle confirmed that this weekly cycle has remained completely unbroken for thousands of years across different empires. The day the Western world decided to call Friday aligns seamlessly with the sixth day of that ancient cycle. In Arabic, the days are just numbered. Sunday is Day One. Monday is Day Two. The sixth day is Yawm al-Jumu'ah, the Day of Gathering. This means we do not pray on this day to honor a Roman calendar. That is, it was just a coincidental relationship. We pray on it because Allah established it on a divine timeline. Secondly, you asked: why is Friday night considered so blessed, and what are you missing here? To understand this, we have to look at the foundations of human existence. Friday goes more than just the end of the work week. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that Friday is the day Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was created, the day he entered Paradise, the day he was sent to earth, and the day the world will end. This is why the Prophet had a very profound routine. Every Friday during the early morning Fajr prayer, he would recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. He did this deliberately. These two chapters detail the creation of the universe, the biological creation of man, and the intense realities of the Day of Judgment. Praying these chapters every Friday morning is a divine reset. It reminds you of your origin and your final destination, both of which are tied to this specific day. Because Friday carries the heavy weight of the end of times, reciting Surah Al-Kahf is your spiritual shield. The Surah contains stories about the ultimate trials of wealth, power, and faith. Reading it provides a divine light that protects your heart from the materialistic noise of the world and the deception of the Dajjal until the next Jumu'ah. So by this fact, you are not missing anything. You just need to see that we are not following a Gregorian Friday. We are following a divine timeline. Don’t fret. Allah knows best.

There may come a season in a marriage when the intensity of love quiets, when neither partner feels that overwhelming attachment they once did. In such moments, the survival of the union cannot rely on emotion alone. Something deeper must sustain it. I once mentioned an athar of Umar when a man came to him that he wanted to be rid of his wife. When asked his reasons, he said: لم أعد أحبها I’ve stopped loving her. Umar said: أو كل البيوت تبنى علي المودة؟! فأين الرعاية و التذمم؟! “Are all homes sustained with affection? Then where are care and a sense of responsibility?” As for those preparing for marriage, mutual affection is absolutely essential, it’s nonnegotiable The Prophet said: تَزَوَّجُوا الْوَدُودَ الْوَلُودَ فَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الأُمَمَ “Marry the loving and fertile woman, for indeed I will boast of your great numbers before the nations.” This shows that love is not a secondary quality, it is like a foundation. A marriage should begin with genuine affection, because while love may fluctuate over time, and subsequently fade away, its presence at the beginning lays the groundwork for mercy, patience, and mutual responsibility needed to keep the marriage when everywhere blurrr.

Whoever is deprived of the Principles (Usul), is deprived of reaching the Goal (Wusul).

I’m not sure if this is a joke or not, but if it isn’t, then… Bismillahir Rahman Ar Rahim. The claim that someone must finish the six fasts of Shawwāl within two weeks after Ramadan to be a “good example” is not grounded in fiqh or the practice of the Salaf. 🧵 1/

Bismillah Hayaakumullah! Halqah is not bidah ooo, I’ll mention two Hadith that justify the organization of Halqah. For the sake of those who might not know what Halqoh means, it simply it a gathering of learning, where Muslims in particular improve their knowledge about the deen. First off, we have a Hadith that explains the magnitude of reward attached to going to learn or teach in the masjid. The prophet said on the authority of Abu Umaamah من غدا إلى مسجد لا يريد إلا أن يتعلم خيرا أو يعلمه كان له كأجر حاج تاما حجته “Whoever goes out to a mosque seeking nothing except to learn something good or to teach it will have a reward like that of a Hajj, with his pilgrimage complete.” This justifies that both the sheikh and the attendees are heavily rewarded. Now, as for evidence supporting the designation of specific days for such gatherings On the authority of Abu saheed: قالت النساء للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غلبنا عليك الرجال فاجعل لنا يوما من نفسك فوعدهن يوما لقيهن فيه “The women said to the Prophet: ‘The men have dominated your time, so set aside A DAY for us from yourself.’ So he promised them a day on which he would meet them.” They requested for just one single day to take classes with the prophet. Let’s agree for the sake of argument that “shebi this one is just for women, and it’s because men have taken the prophet’s time”. How about the Hadith of Abdullah bn masuud?! كان ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه يذكرنا في كل خميس، فقال له رجل: يا أبا عبد الرحمن، لوددت أنك ذكرتنا كل يوم، فقال: أما إنه يمنعني من ذلك أني أكره أن أملكم وإني أتخولكم بالموعظة، كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتخولنا بها مخافة السآمة علينا Abdullah bn Masud used to teach us every Thursday. A man said to him: “O AbuAbdirrahman, I wish you would teach us every day.” He replied: “What prevents me from doing so is that I dislike boring you. Rather, I choose appropriate times to give you admonition, just as the prophet would choose appropriate times to admonish us, out of fear that we might become weary.” So clearly, Abdullah bn masuud understood the importance of weekly Halqah. This same Abdullah bn masuud, when he was in the position to allow Asalatu, he frowned sternly against it. Reported by Abu musa: قال له أبو موسى: رأيت في المسجد قوما حلقا جلوسا ينتظرون الصلاة، في كل حلقة رجل، وفي أيديهم حصا، فيقول: كبروا مائة، فيكبرون مائة، فيقول: هللوا مائة، فيهللون مائة، ويقول: سبحوا مائة، فيسبحون مائة، قال: قال: أفلا أمرتهم أن يعدوا سيئاتهم، وضمنت لهم أن لا يضيع من حسناتهم، ثم مضى، ومضينا معه؛ حتى أتى حلقة من تلك الحلق، فوقف عليهم، فقال: ما هذا الذي أراكم تصنعون؟ قالوا: يا أبا عبد الرحمن، حصا نعد به التكبير، والتهليل، والتسبيح، قال: فعدوا سيئاتكم، فأنا ضامن أن لا يضيع من حسناتكم شيء، ويحكم يا أمة محمد، ما أسرع هلكتكم، هؤلاء صحابة نبيكم صلى الله عليه وسلم متوافرون،…. Abu Musa al-Ashari said to him: “I saw in the mosque people sitting in circles waiting for the prayer. In each circle there was a man, and in their hands were pebbles. He would say: ‘Say Allāhu akbar one hundred times,’ and they would say it one hundred times. Then he would say: ‘Say laa illaha illaLLAH 100x,’ and they would say it. Then he would say: ‘Say Subuhaanallah 100x’ and they would say it Then he went on, and we went with him, until he came to one of those circles. He stood over them and said: “What is this that I see you doing?” They said: “O Abu ‘Abdirrahman, these are pebbles with which we count the takbeer , tahleel & tesbih.” He said: “Then count your sins instead, for I guarantee that none of your good deeds will be lost. Woe to you, O ummah of the Prophet! How quickly you are heading to destruction! These are the Companions of your Prophet still abundant among you. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, either you are upon a path more guided than the path of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), or you are opening a door of misguidance.” They said: “By Allah, we intended nothing but good.” He replied: “And how many people intend good but never attain it.”

Bismillah There’s a very common saying amongst the scholars that reads: العَقل يأمرك بِالْأنفعِ، والمروءَة تأمرك بِالأجمل Reason bids you do what is most beneficial,while noble character bids you do what is most beautiful Generally speaking, anything that contravenes the dictates of Allah and His Messenger is devoid of nobility. However, a more nuanced examination is needed when discussing matters which are fundamentally permissible within the framework of shariah, but may be divested of dignity when viewed through the lens of refined moral sensibility. I used the term nuanced because this matter is not monolithic. They may vary according to temperament, social standing, cultural milieu, sometimes based on temporal context From the lens of sharia, Halal is so broad that whatever has not explicit or implicit evidence indicating prohibition remains halal. It is based on this that scholars postulated that: الأصل في الأشياء الإباحة إلا بدليل صارف The default ruling of things is permissibility, unless there exists evidence that diverts it from the default. In contrast, the absence of dignity pertains to actions that detract from one’s decorum, social esteem, or the dignified representation of one’s faith, not because they are sinful, but because they evoke distaste or diminish one’s perceived propriety. A principle states: ترك المباح لمصلحة راجحة واجب و فضيلة Leaving what is permissible for a greater good is both a duty and a virtue. Reciting the Quran is undoubtedly meritorious, and doing it audibly is very much permissible. But, reciting aloud in an environment incongruous with such an act like a formal office setting I.e banks or even recreation centers like football viewing centers, particularly when Elclasico is on going, lol. This is construed as lacking refinement and situational awareness The nakedness of a man extends from the navel to the knees (with scholarly disagreement regarding the inclusion of the knees). While this technically permits exposure of other parts of the body, it would be unbecoming and socially jarring for a man to appear shirtless in formal or public institutions such as a bank, secondary or tertiary institution. Imagine driving to your child’s PTA meeting with only wrapper 😂. Though not sinful per se, but such conduct erodes personal dignity. Being an Imam, a sheikh or a scholar imposes additional layers of responsibility. These roles necessitate the deliberate avoidance of certain permissible acts in order to safeguard the gravitas and sanctity of the office. While an ordinary congregant may attend Jumah in an arsenal jersey, it would be incongruous for an Imam to ascend the pulpit with such attire. Imagine the imam a professor of Law comes to deliver an inaugural speech in timberland and balanciaga short with highs Fashion singlet 😂, everybody go first shock. This not only diminishes the esteem of the position but also reflects poorly on its occupant. Every sodaqoh is commendable when directed toward righteous causes, it is not befitting for a religious figure to exhibit indiscriminate receptivity to every offering. Persistent and unquestioning acceptance may birth perceptions that compromise the individual’s integrity, it’ll even reduce him in the eyes of the public to one who accepts anything without discernment. “Just go and give our imam, he will surely collect it”. 🤮 In summary, the aforementioned actions do not constitute haram, nor would one be held accountable for them on the Day of Qiyaamah. Nevertheless, they remain antithetical to the ethos of moral sensibility.

If you don’t want to struggle to enter jannah as a Muslim (male or female). Discipline your tongue and incline toward measured silence. Were our brothers to restrain their frivolous assertions, our sisters would likewise be spared the impulse of reciprocal retorts, and VICE VERSA. If you ever feel compelled to hold a position, make sure to substantiate it with clear scriptural evidence, demonstrable material proof or at the very least, lend it a footing from a pious predecessor whose understanding lends it credence. و هل يكب الناس علي وجوههم أو علي مناخرهم إلا حصائد ألسنتهم؟! “And are people thrown onto their faces or onto their noses into the hell for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?”— Al-Hadith

Dear Aina Dipo @dipoaina1 , I am responding to you because I see you have a large following and I won't want people to be deceived by your half-baked knowledge of religious events. The same thing you have raised is what your ilks have raised. I chose to ignore them, but I won't ignore you so you don't run with your ignorance as facts. First of all, you built your entire argument on a monumental fallacy. You asked what would have become of Adam if he had resisted temptation, and if his "divine state" would have remained. Where in the history of theology did you learn that Adam was divine? God formed Adam from dust. Dust is created matter. Divinity is the eternal nature of the Creator alone. It is not a temporary badge you earn for good behavior or lose when you sin. If a being can lose divinity, that being was never God to begin with. Then you shot your own argument in the foot by bringing up the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. You proudly stated Jesus fasted for forty days and was tempted by the devil, asking if his divinity would be stripped if he sinned. Let me help you analyse this logically using the same Bible you reference. The book of James chapter 1 verse 13 clearly states that God cannot be tempted with evil. If the devil tempted Jesus, it means the devil saw a human with free will. You cannot tempt the Almighty. Again, God is self-sufficient. God does not starve. Fasting is a clear act of submission to a higher power. Who was Jesus fasting to? Also, you boldly challenged me to name another prophet who did not commit sin and was miraculously conceived. I see you are confusing Islamic theology with your church doctrine of original sin. In Islam, all prophets are protected from major sins. They are the finest of mankind. When prophets seek forgiveness from God, it is out of their supreme humility and constant desire to elevate their spiritual rank before their Lord. It is not an admission of moral corruption. As for miraculous conception, I will repeat it so it sticks. Adam was created without a father and without a mother. Miracles are a display of the infinite power of the Creator. They do not turn the creation into the Creator. You ended by mocking the title of a prophet, saying I still think he was just a messenger. Just so you know, being chosen as a Messenger of Allah is the highest honor a human being can attain. It means the Creator of the universe chose you to deliver His word. You think it is a downgrade because your theology forces you to turn a noble prophet into a deity just to validate his message. Do not try to force your church doctrines into Islamic theology. They will always fall apart. Thank you for your attention.
