Ameen to the dua IFY, purification of our deen and intention is very important and may Allah assist us in this task.

xoxo, :

^Amin to that Ify. How to get them to give you a listening ear is the main issue, some don't even consider you good enough Muslims. Ironic----right? well its just the sad reality.

Shame on us, if we look down on others and thinking they are less muslim than we are. I have experienced this myself in some places I go to. Some muslims are so shallow in in intellect and thought that they judge you straight by appearance (i can understand this sometimes if a lady is without the head covering). I have been looked down on in some places because i dont wear a jalabiyyah or have a long beard . Some muslims even think in their sub conscious mind that the alpha and omega of outward apperance is a long robe, trousers above the ankle and a long beard. If you dont have this attributes you are doomed to the hell fire according to their thinking.

May Allah asist us all

You nailed it bro. Exactly the problem of everyone including me. We tend to judge people very harshly. People with good Imaan do not show off their deeds, So we can never know. Even if a person who is not religious we should not judge them. For only Allah know if in the future he/she might come to the right path and become a much better person than us. If Allah guides someone then nothing can stop him/her.

Before we judge someone we should think about Allah judging us in the day of Resurrection.! Its Something we all fear.
May Allah make it easy for us on that day.
Ameen.

This present Jos crises has made me to talk,i have decided not to but just to leave you guys with your weak and gullible minds,trying to please people and compromising the Quran with other religion.
      I just see no reason why its a crime or a terrorist idea when the Ummah prepare the able bodied youth for  present or future war occurrence war,its only a wicked weak muslim that would brand it terrorism,you call it terrorism or its makes you cringe while your brothers are made into suya,or your sisters violated and thier homes taken from them,did Allah ever say we should fold arms and watch them destroy us?wallahi you people will answer to all you said concerning that.You all feel if you fight your enemies or prepare to fight them is termed terrorism,if thats so,then keep mopping while your generation wipe out before we all come to our senses.I refuse to be part of people that believe in some part and dnt believe in the other path.All i want you hypocrite muslims to know,if you cant actually understand it well from my post on other thread is that,my intention and what i wrote there does not in any manner signify acts of terrorism but prevention/preparation of oneself or group from the enemies,as they say prevention is better than cure.
   

     IMAGINE,FIVE MOSQUES BURNT AND THOUSANDS OF HOMES AND PEOPLE DIED, all i can say again is shame to the Muslim Ummah who will term this war/crises as tribal.

Killing children and women even after the people u fight against have dropped their arms is not Islam. Burning any place of worship is not Islam, Killing even fellow muslims like Boko haram is not Islam. The scenario in northern Nigeria is not the scenario in Palestine and other victimised Muslim countries. The northern Nigerian situation is so complex, its difficult to grasp if you haven't stayed there.

Here is a small lesson for you which will bring you large benifits.

Before starting to anything good say 'Bismillahi-rrehmaan-ir-raheem'
meaning: "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate".
Whether you are about to start eating, or starting on a journey, getting back inside the house or while giving charity or while opening any book to read or starting to do any matter say Bismillahi rehmanirraheem.

We should always intend to do things for the sake of Allah. Only with intention we get benefit for our deeds. I hope you can make this a habit InshAllah.
Listen to this video if you have doubts in correct pronunciation.

Can i also say "In the name of Allah,most gracious,most compassionate" ? I for now,prefer using English language .
Thank you so much.
Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by azharuddin: 12:50pm On Jan 29, 2011
Yes ofcourse you can. But there is special reward for saying it in Arabic as it is from the Quran. Its mentioned in the hadith. Also in the english sentence "In the name of Allah,most gracious,most compassionate" contains only one of Allah's name. In 'Bism[b]illah[/b]i-r[b]rehmaan[/b]-ir-raheem' there  are included the names 'rahmaan' and 'raheem'. Gracious and compassionate are just translation and will not suffice for the actual words. Just like 'Azhar' means [i]light [/i]in english. If you call me light i wont respond will I.
Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by azharuddin: 1:09pm On Jan 29, 2011
“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am[b] not [/b]saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.” So increase your recitation of the Qur’an to gain these merits, and to gain the following merit as well."

Hmmm. Does this mean Allah favours those whose mother tongue is arabic ?

Because they seem to at an advantage IMO . undecided

Uplawal,are u okay? On one thread you are all nice and reasonable . , on another you're fighting and cursing like a market woman (omo alata cheesy ) .

You see ,you are already cursing.

Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by Nobody: 5:25pm On Jan 29, 2011
@Hymen,Girl,common use your brain for the last time,point out where i cursed first,you firstly refered me as omoalata initially and i gave it back to you,so whats the tete binu there?In your wildest dream you think its nairaland could make me vex?

point of corruption,am already using the prophet's teaching if you care,all you need do is,tell all your gibberish to the ones that need it better upthere,and tell them to stop cursing first,except you wanna remain an hypocrites just as you've been.

Subhanallah, Habits formed when you are young are easy maintain. I m still trying to make it a habit. InshAllah.

More rewards of Bismillah
Each and every aspect of a Muslim's life is supposed to be deen.
It is for this reason that Rasulullah (Saw) has shown the ummah simple little methods which would render each and every worldly affair of
his to become deen and for which he will be rewarded. It is for this reason that saying:
Bismillahir-rehmanir-raheem before any action, will render that action into an ibadah for which the reader will be rewarded.
Besides by saying: Bismillahir-rehmanir-raheem before any action, one is suggesting that his every affair - whether small or big -
can only be accomplished with the help and mercy of Allah.Thus every activity of a person will become an ibadah.
By doing this, he will draw closer to Allah and distance himself from the accursed Shaytan. And by not doing this he will deprive none other than himself.

Asalam alekuim @ all.I was wondering if there is any sura or maybe hadith that gave a detailed account of the creation?Besides does anyone of us see Friday as a holy day and therefore working on friday a haram?
Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by zayhal(f): 6:31pm On Jan 30, 2011
wa alaykum salam,

Working on Friday isn't haram. We are enjoined to leave whatever business we're doing during the time of jum'a and go for the jum'a prayer after which we're encouraged to go back to our work/business.

Working on friday is not haram, but working and not attending Friday prayer (juma'a) is haraam. Once the Adhan for Juma'a is heard we have to hurry to the mosque.

Suratul Juma'a, verse 9: o you who believe! when the call is made for the Prayer on Friday, then move
promptly to the remembrance of God (by listening to the sermon and doing the
Prayer), and leave off business (and whatever else you may be preoccupied with).
This is better for you, if you but knew.


After Juma'a we are allowed to return back to our jobs but we should still remember Allah in our daily jobs.

Suratul Juma'a, verse 10: And when the Prayer is done, then disperse in the land and seek (your por-
tion) of God’s bounty, and mention God much (both by doing the Prayer and
on other occasions), so that you may prosper (in both worlds).
