You mean you don't live in Nigeria How come? But all your stories happened here... Anyway thanks.

Kind of. Actually let me correct myself, Salawat i gave you FATIH OR IBRAHIMAH may be too long for that count. Salawat i forgot at the time of typing is the simple one and easy to do the count. It's "Allahumo salli ala muhammad wasalim" . Easy right? Apologies.

tbaba123, albaqir, lanrexlan, honestly this is an old argument. I still pretty much do solat ibrahimah than the later. Most muslims do solat ibrahimah as least in their public life. I can also praise the prophet (s a w) in my language and it's going to be in line with Sunnah. So i dont see whats the big deal in this. I really dont care about how much hazanot are behind it. All i know is I am praising Nabi Muhammad. It's soliat. This is a very simple issue. Base on tbaba translation of solati fatih, nothing, i mean nothing wrong with it. There are tons of muslims saying both solati fatih and Ibrahima and they have no clue whatsoever where they originated.

If no other way left to appreciate Anobi other than solati fatih, i will prefer it than clubbing. No muslim deny Solati Ibrahimo. This argument is meaningless as far as i can tell.

Ok I understand. Thanks

tbaba1234:


Is it the same solat fatih from tijaniyah or something else? May Allah forgive us.

The alfas are correct but it is not because of overpraising. The whole background is wrong.

“Their leader, Ahmad Al-Tijany, claims that he physically met the Prophet, peace be upon him, talked with him, and learned Salat-ul-Fatih from him- The wording of this Salat reads: “O Lord, have peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad, the opener of the closed, the last of the prophets, the supporter of right with right, and the guide to Your straight path, his family as high as his standing and rank.” They have beliefs concerning this Salah, including:The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, told him that the reward for reciting it once is equivalent to that of reciting the Qur’an six times.

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, told him once again that the reward for reciting this Salah once is six thousand times as much as that for every Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah), Du`a’ (supplication), long or short, and the recitation of the Qur’an (Jawahir Al-Ma`any Wa Bulugh Al-Amany, vol. 1, p. 136)

The reward for such Salah is gained only if the reciter is authorized to recite it. This means there should be a chain of authorization tracing back to Ahmad Al-Tijany who, according to him, received this Salah from the Messenger of Allah.

Allegedly being the words of Allah (Exalted be He), this Salah is deemed to be a Hadith Qudsy (Revelation from Allah in the Prophet’s words) (Al-Durrah Al-Faridah, vol. 4, p. 128).

- He who recites Salat-ul-Fatih ten times will gain a reward that even an `Arif (Sufi who has reached a high station of worship) who had lived for one million years would not get if he had not recited it.

- He who recites this Salah even once will have his sins forgiven and will have a reward as much as that for six thousand Tasbihs (saying: “Subhan Allah [Glory be to Allah]”), Du`a’s (supplication), and Dhikrs. (See Mushtaha Al-Kharif Al-Jani, pp. 127, 299 and 300.

May Allah forgive us. When there are authentically narrated duas.

I totally get your point dear brother.You even quoted that the reward is 6 times and I heard from a Tijjaniyah that it's 22 times.What my dad was against was that the words 'overpraised' the Prophet(pbuh), on that basis it should condemned. When in reality, it doesn't overpraised Muhammad(pbuh), that's what my father stands on nothing more.

Tijjaniyah even say this solat sitting in group and spreading white cloth, I know they have some weird practices like making du'a nakedly and others.
Ameen May Allah forgives us all.

Even if the words are 'good', it is very problematic. That is how they 'dream' and come up with duas with incredible rewards, all by themselves.

It is best make dua in your words or use authentic narrations.

Sure, praising Muhammad(pbuh) in one's native tongue is even good.Yorubas will say 'A toro ike ati ige fun anabi wa Muhammad, ore ajeunje tan ki o ma ba ati awon ara ile re ati awon sahaba'.

That's just it @underlined.Some people hold on to the fact that if Tijjaniyahs say that the reward of reciting solat Fatih is 6times reading the Qu'ran then that the Tijjaniyah's problem.
Since they counted it as sending solat on the Prophet(pbuh) and their intentions is not gaining the reward of reciting 6 Qu'ran, then they can be justified.

If no other way left to appreciate Anobi other than solati fatih, i will prefer it than clubbing. No muslim deny Solati Ibrahimo. This argument is meaningless as far as i can tell.

Lol, true.No muslim deny solat Ibramiyyah, people say after tashahhud.To some, solat Fatih is just a compliment.

lanrexlan:
The Alfas insisted that it's haram and bidah and the wordings 'overpraised' Muhammad(pbuh).

tbaba1234:



The alfas are correct but it is not because of overpraising.

Meaning that tbaba1234 believed it to be bid'a, haram, over praising of Muhammad (peace be on him and his household); and by implication the doers will be punish for the haram

Kindly shed light how is it "bid'ah, haram and over praising for Muhammad (peace be on him and his household)"

@lanrexlan, what were the argument of those alfa.

tbaba1234:

The whole background is wrong.
“Their leader, Ahmad Al-Tijany, claims that he physically met the Prophet, peace be upon him, talked with him, and learned Salat-ul-Fatih from him-

First, it is not sheik Ahmad al-Tijany. It is sheik Muhammad Balkhi. Here, it is personal experience which many sheik and Imam also undergoes - the holy prophet truly appear to many and recommend or it might be Allah's inspiration to His 'Abd's heart. And likewise shaytan can also disguise to inspire Allah's 'Abd; and a true 'Abd by Allah's grace should be able to decipher the disguise of shaytan. On the other hand, shaytan can NEVER take the form of Muhammad (peace be on him and his household).

Where they crossed the line is, anything personal experience an 'Abd, no matter how great the reward is, should not be bind upon general public.

tbaba1234:

The wording of this Salat reads: “O Lord, have peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad, the opener of the closed, the last of the prophets, the supporter of right with right, and the guide to Your straight path, and his family as high as his standing and rank.”

So what is wrong in the matn of this solawat? Where in anyway does it contradict a text of the Qur'an or ahadith.

tbaba1234:

They have beliefs concerning this Salah, including:The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, told him that the reward for reciting it once is equivalent to that of reciting the Qur’an six times.

May Allah forgive us. When there are authentically narrated duas.

I have absolutely nothing to do with all those above. Na there own wahala be that @those who believe in the above. Rejecting the solawat based on the so-called "reward" attach to it is not intellectual, I think.

There are also some weird ahadith tagged 'sahih' where it is said if you do this or that, one million angels will do this or that for you...

Only Allah (swt) knows the measure or reward of an act and He will reward in accordance with our Niyyat so I don't bother myself with 'reward'. I just want to do the (good) act with ikhlas.

Empiree:
Kind of. Actually let me correct myself, Salawat i gave you FATIH OR IBRAHIMAH may be too long for that count. Salawat i forgot at the time of typing is the simple one and easy to do the count. It's "Allahumo salli ala muhammad wasalim" . Easy right? Apologies.

@bold, very wrong, dear brother. Any salawat upon Muhammad with the exclusion of his ahlbayt, is batil. In fact, according to Imam shafi'i, 'La salata lau'.

Here's sheik Nasir deen al-Albani, even if he himself failed to practice what he preached:
"You have known from our previous discussions that in ALL METHODS of making salat upon the prophet , peace be upon him, there is mention of his Ahl al-bayt and his family. This is why it is incorrect to make salat upon him,peace be upon him, ALONE. Rather, one must attach the family to him..."
* Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani, 'As Sifat al-
Salat al-Nabi, vol. 3 p. 933

So the very right short form is:
"Allahumo salli ala muhammad wa ala ahli muhammad wasalim"

Ma sha Allah brother. You just buried the whole argument of it is bidah, haram etc with those summary above.

Those who vehemently reject it and call it all sort of names (bid'ah, haram et al) mostly do that based on those so-called 'reward attached to it". Yoruba says: "t'aabani bi ejo se gun to laase da ina e, aajole o". Kindly translate that@lanre, let me see your aayan ogbufo

Yes, there's also a tira can't really recall the name(You may know it).In this tira, the author said 'Allah should send blessings on the Prophet(pbuh) as long as the birds fly, as long the trees grow etc'.Then I listened to a critic argument on the above with some funny rebuttal.

AlBaqir: @lanrexlan, what were the argument of those alfa.

Their argument is summarized as follows:
1)It was not recommended by the Prophet(pbuh).
2)Muhammad(pbuh) was overpraised.
3)Those that lived with the Prophet(pbuh) were versed in arabic language yet they didn't prepare Solatul Al-Nabiyy by themselves.
4)Tijjaniyahs attached much importance to it
5)Muhammad(pbuh) is being elevated to an higher position.

AlBaqir: Yoruba says: "t'aabani bi ejo se gun to laase da ina e, aajole o". Kindly translate that@lanre, let me see your aayan ogbufo

Lol, omo see challenge. Don't try my aayan ogbufo
It simply means 'If we were to prepare the fire for a snake according to its length, we will surely burn the house'.

I know I don score 100%

AlBaqir:





Where they crossed the line is, anything personal experience an 'Abd, no matter how great the reward is, should not be bind upon general public.

Gbam Gbam Gbam!!! Didnt i say this time and again.

lanrexlan:

Their argument is summarized as follows:
1)It was not recommended by the Prophet(pbuh).

Only In the Riwayat. But they simply have no right of accusing the sheik who claimed to receive this after having met the holy prophet (peace be on him and his household). Countless sahaba gave their testimony of meeting the prophet in their dreams and 'recommendations and answers' were provided for them. Is that kind of blessing the monopoly of the sahaba alone? Infact, to them Muhammad is DEAD and cannot hear anything therefore whosoever make such a claim is a liar! That's sickening.

There are lots and lots of personal spiritual experience so how dare those who do not have such experience to tag it lies!

Besides, there are few practices done by these 'alfas' today never known or practiced by the prophet or the sahaba e.g saying of 'Radi'Allahu anhum' or 'Ridwanullahi alahi' after the name of sahaba. Yes its an expression used in the holy Quran but it was not commanded or practiced by the prophet, the sahaba or the tabi'in.

lanrexlan:

2)Muhammad(pbuh) was overpraised.

Overpraising indeed! Overpraise is something one do not merit. Jesus is Lord or God, for example, is not even overpraising, it is blasphemy.

Words such as "Rauf, Raheem, kareem, Siraj al-Munir, khulq Azeem etc were used for the holy prophet (peace be on him and his household) in the holy Quran. If these words were not used in the Quran, and one sheik used them for the holy prophet, these 'alfas' will say it is Shirk.

Every word and verse of solat Fatih is backed up by several verses in the Quran.

lanrexlan:

3)Those that lived with the Prophet(pbuh) were versed in arabic language yet they didn't prepare Solatul Al-Nabiyy by themselves.

Hazrat Hassan ibn Thabit (ra) used to compose verses of praise, eulogy and salam to the holy prophet (peace be on him and his household) in his blessed life-time.

Salawat wa Salam ala Nabiyy is a command of Allah in His book which is wajib on every believer. Only those companions who knew not how to send salawat and salam came to inquire from him and he recommended for them. This is not a restriction whereby it is haram to do other than this.

I listen to one 'eyin anabi (eulogy for the prophet)' in Yoruba language and I cried challenging myself that I knew nothing about Muhammad. In any language, in different Godly thought, you can compose Salawat wa salam ala Nabiyy.

Salat Ibrahimiyah! No doubt is the best. Its tafsir is awesome, and if you go through the tafsir, you will be challenge you did not give what is due to Muhammad and his household.

lanrexlan:

4)Tijjaniyahs attached much importance to it

So has it become a sin attaching more importance to Salawat wa salam ala Nabiyy in a particular composition aside what is recorded in the Riwayat?

It is default. Whoever is born or tread the path of 'tijaniyah, Qadriyah et al' will have no choice but to attach importance to this salat due to constant practice. And in this case, what a noble practice being Salawat wa salam ala Muhammad.

What we should condemn is the heresy attached to it not the practice itself.

lanrexlan:

5)Muhammad(pbuh) is being elevated to an higher position.

The highest position Muhammad (peace be on him and his household) occupied, which no creature of Allah reached, is said to be "Maqam Mahmudan". (Quran says).

The onus is on them to explain how Muhammad (peace be on him and his household) is being over-praise or elevated more than he deserved.

These are the people who repeatedly preach an alien ideology saying Muhammad is just a man like you (thereby no praise), citing erroneously verse of the Quran.

tbaba1234:
Another personal experience:

This happened to my cousin.

She used to stay with us when we were all really young. At night, she gets into these weird conversations (about being some kind of queen or something, really weird stuff) when everyone is supposed to be sleeping. We all slept in the same room... My 3 siblings, my self and my cousin... I was between 9 and 14 years old (don't remember the exact year).. my cousin was much older than us.

One night, the conversation got heated and there was talk of killing my cousin, We all ran, turned on the lights, tried waking her up but she was not waking up. I asked my brother to recite the last three chapters of the Quran on her (That was about all we knew) and make dua, we ran to tell the parents. They thought we were overreacting.

After reciting and doing all we could, we went to sleep. I was relieved to see my cousin awake the next morning. Later, she told us of a dream, she had that night of a figure in white holding a sword coming to rescue her. She said she thought it was an angel.

I do not think she had those encounters again, at least not in our house. Funny enough, it wasn't so scary when we were kids but thinking of it now, just gives me the chills.

SubhanAllah

humm, was she cured through those places she went or her problems voluntarily go away?

tbaba1234:


Have you ever been to wall street? Do you know how many psychics, fortune tellers and palm readers have offices in wall street??

I can tell you , a lot!!

Do you know how much those buildings cost to rent?
Very substantial amounts...
How do you think those psychics and palm readers are able to rent those places?
There have good patronage from the big 'intellectuals' at wall street...

How many buildings in wall street have a 13th floor?? ... why do you think they avoid a 13th floor? 13 stands for bad luck , they say... even though the so called 14th floor is just the 13th floor. These are intellectuals as well.

That is all 'spiritual mumbo-jumbo' by the intellectuals of the most powerful country in the world..

Now you can choose not to believe in this stuff, but do not come here with the 'it is an african thing' mentality.

This is nice summary for those fools. They think it's African thing.

I am reading through this thread and i can sense maclatunji trying hard to avoid jinnland dot com discussion from getting deep in his head. He's so skeptical and nervous.

Here i am. neither tbaba nor jarus will help u"

Empiree:
It's alright. I hear these cases all the time. Those fellas make life boring. Usually, they are people very close.I have always tell some people not to think of Mr. ABC is behind XYZ. Just pray and mention no name. When i said prayer, i meant....

Stage1- Get up mid night, perform wudu, offer 2 rakat. After 2 rakat,

Stage2- Lailaha illaAllahu, Istigfar, salawaat, lahawla walaquwata ilabiLAH, subhanallah, Ya Allah, Ya Wahab, subuh qudusu robimalaikat waruhu, 111 each etc

Stage3- Niyat (say your intention to Allah)

Stage4- Recite sura 36 (Yasin) full 11x. If you cant, recite as much as you can and upgrade from there.

Stage5- Give to the poor. Do this as much as you can every week.

Stage6- See if you can fast 2x a week, the same way you fast in ramadan (from fajr to sunset

And bro, stay away from sin much as you can. Dont even think of someone in your quarters doing evil to you. That's irrelevant. Sometimes, Allah sends you those evil folks to get you closer to Him. Dont hate nobody even if you suspect someone. If someone tells you it's your sister etc behind it, dont take it serious. Just keep up with dua and inshallah, their threats will subside.

It's also good if you can recite Yasin in the morning after fajr. And also the first 10 verses of sura Khaf (18). Please dont accuse anyone. All these have to be done with faith intact. You cant have doubt.

@Empiree, you just added some new duas to the former ones. What happened?

stage 2. Just compare it to what you have with you already. I am adding more as I remember. Stage 2 are usually obtained from hadith but you dont have to do everything in stage 2. The most important ones are the foremost initially typed. Other stages, nothing added. Just highlighted. Stages 3&4 are the "theme & body"

you just added some new duas to the former ones. What happened?

How many times would you recommend for one to repeat the above? and what may happen after the prayers? signs or dream etc. YES, noticed you added Ya Wahab etc.. Noted sha

I furthermore started suratul Jumuah, mulk and Yasin every night. Pray to get a break through and clearance soon!.

Indeed, Allah has said we wont atest to faith without being tested...And, off course, The biggest hope "With every hardship comes ease".

[quote author=ummitoagirl post=28294110]

How many times would you recommend for one to repeat the above?

When you said above you mean the entire dua process?. Preferably night time as many times as convenient for you. But if you talking about stage 2, those are many dua taken from hadith and I would normally do as much as i want from them. You may choose to select 3, 4 or 5 of them to recite. Up to you.

and what may happen after the prayers? signs or dream etc. YES, noticed you added Ya Wahab etc.. Noted sha

Generally, your prayer is private and I think it should remain private btw you and Allah, not here. Be patient while you make dua. You should just tell us here good news if you want. I do not know your intention for this dua and i dont want to know. It's btw you and your Lord. I added some but you can always select. Stage 2 is like "clearing the way".

Abeg, reply my email.

Na'am, I did.

I furthermore started suratul Jumuah, mulk and Yasin every night. Pray to get a break through and clearance soon!.

Masha'llah, Amin.

This is what i was trying to explain earlier in my post when i joined this thread. That everything is not exactly documented head to toe. Rather Kitab are meant to guide us as muslims.

Because you kept dissecting every attempt to convince you a particular situation is jinn possession. You always tried to downplay it to mean it could be just medical problems especially your discussions with tbaba12334. I had no choice but to conclude that you scared.

And you also said you have "extraordinary experience" about Jinn. So im thinking, maybe Jinn appeared to you before and warned not to talk about them. You sound paranoid

I said I had an extraordinary experience but I refuse to ascribe it to jinns. Do jinns exist? Yes. Do I think people should live their lives bothering about them outside of following prophetic teachings on the subject? No.

Should those troubled by jinns be helped according to Islamic teachings? Yes.

The Benefits of Yasin, al Waqiah, and al Mulk....

1. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Surely everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Yasin. I would love that it be in the heart of every person of my people'[Bazzar]. (S.Muhammad Ali Sabuni, Tafsir-al-SabuniVol.2)

2. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Whoever recites Yasin once Allah will record the reward of reciting the Qur’an ten times.'[Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]

3. It has been reported by Aisha (radiAllahu anha)that the Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that there is a surah in the Qur’an that intercedes for its reciter and forgive its listener. Know! It is Surah Yasin. It is called ‘Mu’amma’ in the Torah. It was enquired, what is Mu’amma? The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘it embraces the person with the goodness of this world and removes the dismay of the Hereafter’[Hashiya of Tafsir Jalalalayn , pg 368].

4. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Yasin in the night seeking Allah’s pleasure, Allah would forgive him'[Ibn Hibban, Darimi 3283/A, Abu Yala, Tabarani, Baihaqi & Ibn Mardawaih]

5. Imam Tibi explained in his commentary on Mishkat al-Masabih that Surat Ya Sin was called ‘the Heart of the Qur ‘an ‘ because of what it contains of overwhelming proofs, decisive signs, subtle spiritual meanings, eloquent admonition, and stern warnings.

[size=15pt]The Rewards and Benefits of Reading Surah Yaseen[/size]

It is commonly known that Surah Yaseen is the “heart” of the Quran. Why is it known as the heart of the Quran? In our bodies, the heart is considered to be the most important organ. It supplies the entire body with blood to keep us functioning. Without the heart, the body cannot live. It is to emphasize the great importance of Surah Yaseen that it is called the “heart” of the Quran.

Therefore, reading Surah Yaseen comes with many benefits which true believers must not miss out on. There are many ahadith which talk about the benefits of reading surah yaseen. In this hub, we shall take a look at several hadith which mention the benefits of reading surah yaseen.

[size=15pt]What are some of the benefits of reading Surah Yaseen?[/size]

1. Reading Surah Yaseen at the beginning of the day causes Allah to fulfil all your needs for that day.

Hadhrat ‘Ataa’ bin Abi Ribaah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) says that Prophet Mohamed (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said, “ Whoever reads Surah Yaseen in the beginning of the day, all his needs for that day are fulfilled.”


2. Reading Surah Yaseen is equivalent to reading the whole Quran 10 times.

“Everything has a heart and the heart of the Glorious Quran is Surah Yaseen. Whoever reads Surah Yaseen, Allah records for them a reward equal to that of reading the whole Quran 10 times.” [Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]


3. Reading Surah Yaseen and memorizing Surah Yaseen invokes the blessings of Allah.

It is said that Allah recited Surah Yaseen and Surah Taha 1000 yeards before the creation of Heaven and Earth, and upon hearing this, the angels said, “Blessing is for the ummah unto whom the Quran will be sent down; blessing is for the hearts that will memorize it, and blessing is for the tongues that will recite it.”

zayhal:
Tbaba, your last post is so true.

@topic
I almost had an experience with jinns. My dad was very fond of me and took me out a lot. On that particular day, we were coming from somewhere (can't remember where) and he said we should stop by his friend's. This friend happened to be an 'alfa' who also dealt in herbs and stuff. After spending some time with him, he told my dad that he's observed that I'm always with him and my dad began to tell him the many things that endears me to him. The friend said if that be the case, dad should do something to protect me from 'aye'. Lol. My dad agreed.

This man then told me to stand up and face the wall. He'd earlier asked my dad for my age and whether he was sure I was a virgin because only a virgin qualified to see 'the great one' he was about to call. I was already trembling inside as I stood to face the wall. Then the man warned that I must remain facing the wall while he called 'the great one' through incantations. The great one would appear, I must not show any sign of fear. And I should ask him for whatever I wanted in life. At this point my dad said ah no no no, he didn't want this kind of power for his daughter. Even me too had already left the wall area and was visibly shaken. The man laughed at both of us saying my dad was acting soft. Need I say that that was the last time I stepped into that man's compound?

Wow! Scary ish
