 Islam › Satan And His Evil Of The Morning by afolayan90(op): 6:59am On Oct 07, 2016 |
Today On Scriptures, The Books of Hadiths Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “When any one of you sleeps, Satan ties three knots at the back of his neck. He recites this incantation at every knot: `You have a long night, so sleep.’ If he awakes and remembers Allah, one knot is loosened. If he performs Wudu’, the (second) knot is loosened; and if he performs prayer, (all) knots are loosened. He begins his morning in a happy and refreshed mood; otherwise, he gets up in bad spirits and sluggish state.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. This hadith is letting us know the efficacy of prayer and Salat. Satan is capable of many things including making our day a bad one right from the time we wake up from sleep in the early hours of the morning. His evil of the morning is powerful, but when one engage in Tahajud(midnight prayers) and wake up early at fajr(dawn) to pray Salat Subhi (morning prayer), this is automatically avoided and one enjoy his/her day as stated in the above Hadith. May Almighty Allah guide us a right and protect us from the evil of Satan. Source: http://salamng.com/satan-and-his-evil-of-the-morning/ 1 Like

| Islam › Does God Accept Prayers??? by afolayan90(op): 6:54am On Aug 26, 2016 |
Does God Accept Prayers  There’s no doubt that the prayers of a true worshiper is accepted whenever supplicated so far some certain conditions or criteria are not breached. Almighty Allah said in the holy Qur’an.It is evident from this verse that Allah has promised to accept and grant requests of his servants when asked. In another verse, the Almighty made it clear that he would have neglected us in this world if not for the efficacy of our prayers “ My Lord would not care for you were if not for your prayers” [Surah Al-Furqan, 77]If the person supplicating has not directly committed a sin (major&minor) which he/she knowingly refused to ask for forgiveness from Allah and repent from such sin and has not broken or severed any family ties the prayer of that worshipper is bound to be accepted by Allah Subhana Wataala in the following three ways: -He accept immediately and grant his servant the actual desire or request -He accept but use the prayer to curb away an equivalent unforseen event coming upon a servant -He accept and keep the prayer till later or and till the day of resurrection for the servant. This is seen in one of the hadiths of the holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who said: “There is no Muslim who calls upon his Lord with a dua in which there is no sin or severing of family ties, but Allah will give him one of three things: Either He will answer his prayer quickly, or He will store (the reward for) it in the Hereafter, or He will divert an equivalent evil away from him.” They said: “We will say more dua.” He said: “Allah’s bounty is greater.”[Narrated by Ahmad, 10749; Al-Tirmidhi, 3573. Classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Mishkaat Al-Masaabeeh, 2199] Some scholars also sighted that Almighty Allah sometimes use the prayer (kept) to wipe away a major sin and avoid the servant from the punishment of the hereafter. We are advised and enjoined to keep supplicating and never stop making dua’s whether our requests are granted directly and immediately or not. But we should have it in mind that our prayers are accepted in other ways that will benefit us more in the sight of Allah. Almighty Allah said in the Qur’an: “And it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 216]May Allah continue to accept our prayers and grant our request in and for this world and the hereafter.

| Islam › “what’s Next After Ramadan??? by afolayan90(op): 6:37am On Jul 09, 2016 |
Lecture of Salam Forum Episode 4 “WHAT’S NEXT AFTER RAMADAN? I beseech Almighty Allah for protection against the chained one in Ramadan, Sheiton(devil) and I begin with the exalted names of Allah Subhana wataala. May the peace and blessings in all ramifications shower upon the noble soul of prophet Muhammad (saw) and the generality of Muslim Ummah. After this… Obedient servant of Allah, Assalamun Aleikum Warahmotullahi Wabarakatuhu Our topic of today will centre upon “WHAT’S NEXT AFTER RAMADAN “The thirst have gone, the body is watered and cool and the reward is established by the grace of Allah”. Known to individuals and all, you have strived so hard to carryout your religious responsibilities in the just concluded Ramadan. You fasted, prayed fervently, observed solat on time and nawafil, did good deeds even if it is an atom weight, some secluded and rounded it off with zakâtu’l fitr. These are, no doubt, pleased Allah as you look forward to receiving His blessings. With all you have strived for, with foodless days and sleepless nights you had had, why do you think going back to your old ways is the right thing? The month of Ramadan came to cleanse you from evils and sins; “A Ramadan to another is an expiation of whatever comes between them” that is Allah’s promise which you wish to receive from Him. Now that you are cleansed from your sins, deviating from the halal way after Ramadan is not the right thing and its a direct way to loosing in Allah’s promise. You never can tell when you will leave this dunya(world), you never can tell whether you are a living dead or not, you never can tell whether the next Ramadan will meet you alive or not. Why not live your life as if you will die tomorrow. The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: “Live your life as if you are a stranger or a traveller, if the night falls with you, do not expect the dawn, if the dawn comes with you, do not expect the dusk”. In view of the above, live every moment of your life as if you are in the Month of Ramadan, take your eyes away from haram(forbidden), shut your mouth afar the haram and every other parts of you from haram like you did during Ramadan. That is a perfect way of life that pleases Allah. The below verse of the exalted words of Allah will tell you what the scenario of Ramadan looks like: “Muhammad (SAW) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful” Q3:144. Analogically, this verse implies the fact that, whoever worships Allah, follows what He commands and abstains from what He forbids all because it is what we are created for not because its Ramadan, for ramadan have gone, will you then not worship your creator anymore, will you now start to disobey him? Don’t be the Muslims of just Ramadan, even though it’s coming back next year but can you assure yourself a long live? NO! The question of “What is next after Ramadan?” is rhetoric. Nothing is next after Ramadan than what you did in it. If you spent it well, continue with it, if you didn’t, adjust today, tomorrow might be the end of your day. Continue on your good deeds Seal your Ramadan with Sitta Shawwal(6 fast of Shawwal). Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with 6 days fasting of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a whole year” Sahiih; reported by Muslim, Abuu Daawood, at-Tirmidhii, an-Nasaaii and Ibn Maajah). Don’t venture into your old bad ways or even start a new one Don’t leave the Qur’an to dust Wake up in the night as you did in the days of Ramadan and Give sadaqoh(charity) always There’s nothing actually after Ramadan than what Ramadan brought and the deeds it preached. May Almighty Allah make it easy for us and make our last deed our best deed, also may He make our best day the day we will meet Him.

| Islam › Is It Appropriate Wearing Stuffs With Allah’s Name Imprint??? by afolayan90(op): 8:14am On Jun 23, 2016 |
Answer to the Question Assalamun Aleikum Warahmotullahi Wabarakatuhu Praise be to Allah. It does not seem to us that there is any reason not to allow wearing clothing on which are written phrases that promote virtue and good characteristics, or which praise Islam and its rulings/laws. But one should pay attention to some conditions with regard to this writings The phrases should not include the name of “Allah” It is not permissible to write the Glorious Name “Allah” on such things, because this may expose at long run the glorious name to humiliation either by mistake or not. Putting on clothing’s e.g cap, shirt, ring etc. that has Allah’s name imprinted on it will always be subjected to removal before entering places of dirt. For example entering toilet or bathroom with it is highly prohibited and when that is done even by mistake will be tantamount to downgrading the virtue of the name, this is seen as a sin. Another point to note is that this items can be misused either by the wearer or deliberately by a non Muslim. Likewise, the name of the Prophet (peace be upon him) should not be imprinted on these things to protect it from degradation and prevent the overestimation or transgressions prohibited by the Prophet himself (peace be upon him). Allah said in the Holy Quran, “O you who believe! do not declare as forbidden what Allah has made lawful for you and do not transgress. Surely Allah does not love those who transgress” (5, 87). Following this Ayah of the holy Qur’an, such act is seen as transgression and Almighty Allah forbids transgressive acts. And Allah knows best. May Almighty Allah Subhana Wata’ala safe our souls from transgressing beyond his boundaries Source: http://salamng.com/is-it-appropriate-wearing-stuffs-with-allahs-name-imprint/ 5 Likes |

| Islam › Can I Cook For My Brothers While Menstruating In Ramadan??? by afolayan90(op): 1:43pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
Answer To The Question: Assalamun Aleikum Warahmotullahi Wabarakatuhu Praise be to Allah The Most High Pertaining to your question, a menstruating person can do some other Ibadaats (acts of worship) both during Ramadan and after, with cooking a meal for a fasting person inclusive. Feeding people has a blessing of its own. However, during the month of Ramadan, it’s like a multi-level marketing business! If you feed a person who has been fasting, you earn the blessings of their fast as if you had fasted the entire day yourself. “Narrated ‘ata: That he heard Ibn ‘abbas reciting the Divine Verse:– “And for those who cant fast they had a choice to feed a poor for every day..” (2.184) Ibn ‘abbas said, “ This Verse is not abrogated, but it is meant for old men/old women and the critically sick who have no strength to fast, so they should feed one poor person for each day of fasting (instead of fasting).” (Sahih Bukhari Book #60, Hadith #32). Someone who has limitation from fasting due to her menstruation period can also emulate the act of feeding the poor or a fasting person as to earn the reward and blessing as thou of a fasting person.You can also raise your reward scale by volunteering at your local mosque, sponsor Iftar, or contribute to a potluck. Encourage your friends who are also not fasting to join you, and gain blessings from their good deeds as well. Before you know it, your menses will be over and you begin fasting too and not a reward missed due to your observed period in the holy month. Increase your ibadah (acts of worship) Your period should not keep you from receiving all of the wonderful rewards of this holy month. Even though you are not fasting or praying during this time, you can still maintain ibadah (submission and worship of God), such as, Putting forth effort to help families increase their prayer, reading more Qur’an via your laptop or Smartphone, Spend less time watching television, on the computer, playing video games or on the Smartphone. Give out more sadaqoh (Charity), use this time to focus on purifying your heart and earning Allah’s blessings through good deeds. Eat suhoor with your family. Since you already made the meal, enjoy it with them (rather than go to sleep), then Stay up to make dhikr while they’re praying fajr and reciting Qur’an. As difficult it may be, try hard to withhold your menstrual pains, suffering, tiredness, etc. by not complaining to your family and Empathize with your family’s fast. Do not eat in front of fasting family members. For example, eat while your family is praying, or busy doing something else. Eat simple. Don’t stir up a hot deliciously-scented meal in the oven or on the stove for yourself. Follow the Prophet’s favorite foods, such as milk, dates, olive oil, cucumber, meat (halal deli sandwich), bread, etc. Keep your breathe fresh. It’s a welcomed breathe of fresh air (literally) to have your breathe smell like toothpaste, rather than the food they cannot eat during the day and stay freshly showered with natural bodily scents, not perfumed (as they may be too alluring during the day and may affect a fasting person. May Allah accept our acts of Ibadaats as his. You can drop your comments, views and advise on the topic too. Source: http://salamng.com/can-i-cook-for-my-brothers-while-menstruating-in-ramadan |

| Islam › Am I Fasting At All? I Eat Till 5:30am by afolayan90(op): 7:36am On Jun 18, 2016 |
Question Am I Fasting at all? I Eat Till 5:30am Answer to the Question Assalamun Aleikum Warahmotullahi Wabarakatuhu Praise be to Allah First of all, bear in mind that Allah has permitted the fasting person to eat and drink until dawn comes. He, The Most High, says: (Eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn) (Al-Baqarah 2:187) The exact cut-off time for Imsak (abstaining from food, drink, etc.) is the time of fajr (dawn); so if you eat until that time you did not commit any sin. Most of the time people confuse between the preferred time and the permissible one; the preferred time for Imsak, according to scholars, is to finish sahur ten minutes before fajr. In a response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states the following, “You need not be overly confused about this issue, for it is merely a difference of opinion based on the distinction between what is preferred and what is merely permissible. There is no doubt that the cut-off point for consuming sahur is the arrival of dawn (i.e., fajr time). However, the preferred time for abstention is 10 or 15 minutes earlier than that” The basis for establishing the preferred time of abstention (imsak ) is an authentic tradition from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One of his Companions narrated the story of taking sahur with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Upon hearing it, someone asked him, “What was the time gap between your sahur and fajr salah?” He replied, “The time required to read fifty verses of the Qur’an.” It is estimated that this time can be 10 or 15 minutes and not more. Based on some findings in Nigeria Lagos State to be precise, the distinction of the white thread of down from the black thread of night is evident around 5:30am-5:35am. So following the hadith of the prophet stating the time interval to be 10mins before fajr, it can be concluded that Imsak( abstention) time is 5:20am-5:25am. However, it must be pointed out that the above mentioned hadith does not state that it is not permissible to consume sahur later or earlier than that, for it only states that it was the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the permissibility of consuming sahur until the arrival of dawn, it has been established by the clear text of the Qur’an: (Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black thread of night) (Al-Baqarah 2:187). Almighty Allah knows best. Source: http://salamng.com/am-i-fasting-at-all-i-eat-till-530am/ |

Esji80:If you deliberately force out Maziyu out of your body, eider by caressing your wife or masturbating, or excessive lustful though then your fast is invalidated and you have to repay back that day's fast, but no expiation of sin has to be made. And Allah knows best. 1 Like |

AdebisiAdeyinka:Yes it is permissible to brush your teeth whether with toothbrush or chewing stick (Miswak) but must be careful not to swallow the water or any residue there about. But mind you the Prophet (saw) said: the odour coming out of a fasting person's mouth is far beautiful in the sight of Allah than that of Almisk(perfume). |
