Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus. Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly. There is evidence that it spreads from person to person. Good hygiene can prevent infection.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no one among you who does wudoo’ and does it properly and does it well, then he says, ‘Ashhadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu,’ but the gates of Paradise will be opened to him and he may enter through whichever of them he wishes.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Tahaarah, 345).

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever does wudoo’ (Ablution) as I have done it, then prays two rak’ahs (two unit of prayer) in which he focuses completely on his prayer, his previous sins will be forgiven.’” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Tahaarah, 331)

We have curated some reasons why celebrating Valentine should be shunned. These are what you have to know of how it started and why you should desist from its celebration

In Islam, every day is actually a valentine (to show love to one another). Sharing love or restricting the show of love to a day is simply uncalled for and an act of copying the non-muslims

"There is no love before marriage"
...
From your own purview, what is your opinion on this unpopular maxim?

The Fatwa of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen
Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not permitted for several reasons:
1 – It is an innovative celebration that has no basis in shari’a.
2 – It calls for people to keep their hearts and minds busy with these foolish things that go against the guidance of the pious predecessors (may Allaah be pleased with them), so it is not permitted on this day to do any of the customs associated with that holiday, whether that be connected to food, drink, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else. The Muslim should be proud of his religion and not be so weak of character that he follows everyone who makes a noise.
3 -- It is not permissible to celebrate such innovative festivals, because this is a newly-invented innovation (bid’ah) which has no basis in sharee’ah. So it is included in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam) which is not part of it, will have it rejected” – i.e., it will be thrown back upon the one who innovated it.
Source: Fatwa of Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Jibreen concerning celebrating this day
4-- It also involves imitating and resembling the kuffaar in venerating that which they venerate and respecting their festivals and holidays, and imitating them in some of their religious practices.
Source: Fatwa of Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Jibreen concerning celebrating this day
5-- The things that result from that (valentine), such as partying, idle play, singing, music, insolence, impertinence, unveiling, wanton display, mixing between men and women, and the appearance of women before non-mahrams, etc., are all haraam, or are means which lead to immorality. So it should not be justified as an excuse for relaxation and entertainment

6--It is not permissible to sell gifts and roses if one knows that the purchaser will celebrate these holidays, give them as gifts or otherwise use them to honour this day, so that the vendor will not be sharing in the guilt of the one who does this innovated action.

7--It is haraam for Muslims to help with this festival or any other haraam celebration in any way, be it food, drink, buying, selling, manufacturing, corresponding, advertising or in any other way, because all of that constitutes helping one another in sin, transgression, and disobedience towards Allaah and His Messenger

Al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyah wa’l-Iftaa’

8--Allaah has made Islam cover all (human) interests at all times and in all places and for all people. So there is no need to adopt the ways of the kuffaar or imitate them. Allaah has perfected His religion for mankind:
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”[al-Maa’idah 5:3 – interpretation of the meaning].

Imitation causes defects in the Muslim personality, such as feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, weakness, and defeatism, then it leads to shunning and keeping away from the path and laws of Allaah

9--Festivals are the most distinctive things by which religions are told apart, so whoever celebrates their festivals is agreeing with the most distinctive rituals of kufr. Undoubtedly going along with them in their festivals may in some cases lead to kufr.
Because Valentine’s Day goes back to Roman times, not Islamic times, this means that it is something which belongs exclusively to the Christians, not to Islam, and the Muslims have no share and no part in it

https://islamqa.info/en/articles/65/celebrating-valentines-day

10--Expression of feelings and emotions is not a justification for the Muslim to allocate a day for celebration based on his own thoughts and ideas and to call it a festival, or make it like a festival or Eid. So how about when it is one of the festivals of the kuffaar?
In Islam, a husband loves his wife throughout the year, and he expresses that love towards her with gifts, in verse and in prose, in letters and in other ways, throughout the years – not just on one day of the year.
11--What these people think, that love before marriage is a good thing, is wrong, as has been proven in studies and by real-life experience. In a study conducted by the University of Cairo, on what they called “love marriage” and “traditional marriage”, the following was stated:
In marriages which came after a love story, 88% of cases ended in failure, i.e., the success rate was not more than 12%. But in cases of what the study calls traditional marriage, 70% were successful. In other words, the success rate in marriages described as traditional was six times more than those described as “love marriages”. (Risaalah ila Mu’minah, p. 255).

Why use our Arab slave master on the picture instead of Africans

It's a matter of choice bro, what's good for the goose might be good for the gander. Beside you name that Arab slave master (and that's an opinion of yours too)

#peace

TheOutlaw:
But you've not even come up with an intelligent response to my original statement. How can the anus be cleaned with a hard object like stone without damaging the very sensitive membrane of the anus?

Seriously you can give it a trial.

Tyriq:
So if as a Muslim and don't speak or understand Arabic I can't use the toilet?

Of cause, you can make use of the toilet (albeit you would be regarded as an ignorant/less learned) just make sure the only Arabic words you know as a Muslim is not "Muslim and Islam"

#heed&getBetter

aycorporat:
I like the hygiene part but what happens if something forgets to enter with the left foot, would he have to.go back and revisit the poo?
Besides if the toilet is having stagnant water and the poo is.almost bursting my intestines nko?
A lot of Yoruba Muslims are guilty of these

There is no punishment if you indeed forgot to enter the toilet with the left leg, just make cautions against next time.

#PreventionISbetterThanCure

TheOutlaw:
Use stone clean yourself after using the toilet? The lining of the anus is one of the softest and most sensitive parts of the human body. If you use a stone to clean your anus after defecation, there is a high likelihood of cutting yourself and suffering a very painful infection if the fecal matter enters into the wound caused by your stone.

Why is it that NOTHING about this religion makes any sense?

Using leaves/tissues/stones and the likes should come in place where there is no water or where making use of water might cause ill-health.

Solatul Subh and Solatul Ishai indeed are observed when you early and late hours of the day respectively. It is also a funny moment for those of us that stayed in the hostel.

here are different types of people you would see during Subh prayer

Rashduct4luv:
In what Salah is it possible to have someone sit for the tashaahud four times?

Briefly explain how this can be possible?

Solatul Maghrib sure!
When you meet the congregation on the first tashahuud, which means you have missed to raka'ats and you have 1 rakaah left.
By following the Imaam till completion, you have to do the second Tashahuud with the Imaam but that would be your first rakah.
By injunction, you have to bring a second rakah to join the last one which you met which is your own first. Then sit for tashahud which would be your third. Before finally rising to recite silently for your third rakah and subsequently your last tashahuud (your fourth)
