lexiconkabir:
do you want to teach?

Absolutely. I have a strong passion for teaching.

if you want to see okin, go to the oba's palace, you'll see it plenty, go on a friday, some minutes before jum'ah, there is a mosque opposite to his palace, so you can use the opportunity of praying jumah.

as for dust, you just start

yes, alot of women there wear niqob(eleha), one of the reasons why i am enjoying my stay in Unilorin too, most sisters (who didnt even wear scarf from the beginning) wear niqob here, only a few show their faces(tho still wear socks and at times gloves).

hope you are teaching??

Well...
I'm not quite sure yet. My PPA is federal poly. Waiting for posting letter from them so I can resume work there officially. Whether I get to teach or not depends on the department I'm posted to and if my superiors there assign me something to teach.

lol, my town! you go eat potatoes taya, we even pound potatoes just as it is being done to yam...

it's people are less hypocritical if you are to compare them to Ilorin people...

enjoy your stay!!

I was shocked the first time someone told me their own iyan here is from potatoes . I will definitely try it out soon. I keep hearing iyeru-okin everywhere but I never see one live okin with my eyes, abi dem don kill everything chop ni?

So far, it seems quite serene and peaceful which I like. And I was happy seeing that a large number of the women here dress the proper way (much better compared to where I come from).

The problem I just have for now is the way the town is really dusty . I naturally have dust allergies, so I don't like it much when I walk along the streets.

Thank you. Looking forward to my stay here.

Saw your mention. Appreciate your concern. I've not been entirely that busy though just that where I'm staying had issues with the electricity over this past week. My phone was barely on throughout. Couldn't afford to come online.

Salam alaykum aideesheks and k4kenny

How are your progress so far?

Wa alaykum salam warahmatullah
Progress has been very good.
Been like 2 weeks now since I started with my tutor here. Began right from Surah An-Nas with him. The encouragement I'm getting here is also quite pleasing. There's another brother who often sits with me to take me on tajweed too. Regular listening to Husary's recitation has helped too.

Honestly, first time in my life I'm feeling this great enthusiasm towards reciting the qur'an. I pray this momentum does not wane over time.
May Allah make it easy for us all.

Hello everyone. Have a quick question.
I'm quite proficient working with microcontrollers but I'm mainly familiar mikroc pro. One problem I once encountered with one of the works I did was that the demo version has a limit of only 2k program words and my code exceeded that by much. This will be a major problem if I'm to do more complex works. This has made me to start considering trying out other compilers (ccs especially on my mind). What advice would you have for me?

The wife of Shaykh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen al-Albaani Rahimahullah, Umm al-Fadl, was asked:

Being the wife of this noble scholar, did you see that his knowledge, seeking knowledge and teaching it to the people took away from his co-existence with you as the head of your household?

She replied:

I thank you for your warm sentiments and I want to let you know that seeking knowledge would not prevent the Shaykh from carrying out any of his family obligations. Rather, the total opposite was true. For he, may Allaah have mercy on him, was an exemplary head of a household, cooperating with his family.

And believe me, my son, he used to help me a great deal in the household chores such that I would feel embarrassed in front of him due to it. So much so that one time he was cleaning the patio with me, to which I said, ‘O Shaykh! Don’t disgrace me in front of the neighbours, they will say that you are doing your wife’s work.’

He replied, ‘This is not a disgrace. Don’t you know that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam would be at the service of his family?’

As for the Facebook, you can as well just go to your profile and then edit your birth date privacy to "only me". That's what I did when I faced the same problem not too long ago. No one will bother you if they're unaware of it in the first place.

How are you doing?

Wa alaykum salam ya ukhti
I'm doing great. Presently packing and preparing my things ahead of my journey back tomorrow to fully commence my service year.

This is truly the bitter pill to swallow in this society of ours. I agree with a lot the Op mentioned in his write-up. This "showoff" culture is growing by the day and this just shows the problem social media has brought cus it's exposing the "follow the crowd" mentality of our people.
I love your statement though "Drowning ourselves in the mire of self-deception". Couldn't have said it any better

Amazing Marriage
Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah was one of the greatest scholars of his time. He was not a Ṣaḥābī, but met many Ṣaḥābah f and narrated ḥadīth from them. He was married to the daughter of Abū Hurairah Radhi Allahu Anhu, the close companion of the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. His knowledge and acceptance amongst his contemporaries can be gauged from the fact that he used to pass fatāwā (verdicts) while other Ṣaḥābah were still alive. Even ʿUmar ibn ʿAbdul ʿAzīz Rahimahullah , while he was Amīr al-Muʼminīn, would not make a decision without prior consultation with Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah .
Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah himself says that he never missed takbīr al-la for forty years. He never saw the backs of people in ṣalāh for fifty years, because he always managed to perform ṣalāh in the first row of the masjid.
He had a daughter of marriageable age, whose hand was sought by the ruler of the day, ʿAbdul-Malik, for his son Walīd. But, he refused the offer. This caused his relationship with ʿAbdul Malik to be soured and he was whipped a hundred lashes. Instead, Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah married his daughter to Abū Wadāʿah, one of his poor students.
Abū Wadāʿah explains, “I used to sit in the company of Saʿīd ibn Muṣāyyab and happened to be absent for a few days. When I came to him, he asked where I had been. I replied that my wife had passed away and I was occupied with her funeral arrangements.
He asked, ‘Why did you not inform us so that we could have attended her funeral.’
Then he asked, ‘Have you married again?’
I replied, ‘May Allāh have mercy upon you! Who would marry me when I have no more than two or three dirhams?’
He answered, ‘I will marry my daughter to you.’
I asked in doubt, ‘Will you?’
He replied, ‘Yes, I will.’
He then praised Allāh and sent durūd upon the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and married his daughter to me for a mahr of two dirhams. I left the gathering stunned and overjoyed. I came home and began to reflect from whom I could borrow some money. I performed Maghrib ṣalāh and returned home. I then broke my fast with some bread and olive oil. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
I asked, ‘Who is it?’
The reply came, ‘Saʿīd.’
I thought of everyone whose name was Saʿīd except Ibn Muṣayyab, because he had not been seen for forty years in any place except his home and the masjid. When I went out I was met by none other than Ibn Muṣayyab and thought that he had changed his mind.
I said to him, ‘Abū Muḥammad, why did you not send for me? I would have come to you.’
He replied, ‘No, you had a greater right that I should come to you. You were single, and have just married, and I disliked that you spend the night alone. Here is your wife.’
She was standing directly behind him. He took her hand and ushered her towards the door. He then left. She almost stumbled out of modesty and shyness but managed to hold onto the door.
I tried to hide the container of food in the shadows of the candle light so that she would not see it. I then climbed up the roof and called out to my neighbours.
They arrived and asked, ‘What is the matter?’
I explained to them what had just happened. Some of the women from the neighbourhood came to my house and my mother was also informed.
When my mother arrived she said, ‘I will not see your face again if you touch her before I have prepared her in three days.’
So, I waited for three days, after which I consummated the marriage with her. She was the most beautiful of women, the most knowledgeable regarding the Qurʼān and the Sunnah of the Prophet of Allāh Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and very well-acquainted with the rights of a husband.
I did not attend the gathering of Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab for an entire month. When I finally went, I greeted and he replied. He did not say anything further until the gathering had dispersed and I was left behind.
He then asked, ‘How is she?’
I replied, ‘She is excellent, O Abū Muḥammad. She is one whom friends will love but foes will envy.’
He advised, ‘If the need arises you may discipline her.’
I returned home where I found that he had sent me a gift of twenty thousand dirhams. ”
Another narration of this incident states that when the nikāḥ had been performed Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah said to his daughter, “Gather your clothing and follow me. Perform two rakāts of ṣalāh.” She complied, and Saʿīd ibn Muṣayyab Rahimahullah also performed two rakāts of ṣalāh. He then handed her over to her husband.
Lessons
√ Both father and daughter did not object to marrying a poor man. Wealth and status meant little to them and rightly so. A good Muslim father is one brings up his daughter with the knowledge of Qurʼān and Sunnah and marries her daughter to a man who is religiously inclined.
√ Simplicity is the hallmark of an Islāmic marriage. Alien customs, formalities, false pretences, lengthy proposals and delays, pompous wedding celebrations and squandering of vast amounts of money are against Islāmic teachings.
√ Nikāh should not be unnecessarily delayed. Imām Ghazālī Rahimahullah after quoting this incident explains, “The haste of Saʿīd ibn Musāyyab with the nikāh that very night shows the importance Islām places upon making haste with nikāh, so that human passion is controlled.”
√ Ḥayā (shame and modesty) is a great virtue.
√ Homes of happiness are built on the fabric of knowledge, etiquette, modesty, simplicity and compliance with religious teachings. True happiness and marital bliss can only be achieved through a pious spouse.
COPIED

lexiconkabir:
so what do you deem correct regarding the NYSC case you.presented?

Like I said earlier, I'm opined to salah being observed in full in camp.
But facing the reality on ground, qasr seem already the norm in most camps and I don't see the possibility of that easily changing soon. This issue will keep reoccurring for the times to come. As someone mentioned earlier, it was a common occurrence that some people will still stand up to offer the remaining 2 rakahs after the imam had already said tasleem.

lexiconkabir:
Wa alaykum salaam, when it comes, it is usually two(like that of Baqarah you highlighted) that sign is a stop that is optional, you can stop, or not stop; but if you stop, stop at either one of the words, that has the sign on it, NOT both!

Alright. I understand now
Jazakallahu khairan

BlueScholar:
Thank you brother for bring this up. Before I left for camp this year I google about it to refresh my memory and my conclusion is the same as what symbolofhope posted.

What actually confuse me was that I'm of the view that when you follow an imam of the city you travel to, you're to complete the sallah with them.

So when I saw people cutting theirs without completing it I kind of panic, I even corrected some. But later I came to find out that there's another view which permit it.

Anyways if you want to read more on the matter you should google Yasir Qardhi's series titled " The Defination Of A "Traveller"
Jazakallah khair

Wa iyyak
Which scholar is of the view that permits it?
From the little I know, your initial assertion was correct. If a traveller happens to find a masjid and prays behind a resident imam, then he has to follow the imam and pray the salah in full.

Asalam alaykum
In the verse 2 of surah al-baqarah. There's this sign I came across, looks like the mathematical "therefore" symbol that occurs at two points in that same verse. I'm sure it's most definitely a stop signs (probably one that is rarely found). And it's not part of the conventional sign I've learnt about. Please what is the principle behind this sign and how is it applied?

lexiconkabir:
Presently where do you stand?

Well.......
Naturally, I have this cautious nature. And in light of that, I'm inclining more towards the view of 4 days (seems undoubtedly the safest option).
Allah knows best.

.

So I've gone through the whole write-up by brother Hashim.
At a point, it was mentioned that the view of Ibn Taymiyya regarding this issue was that there was no fixed number days for the traveller to observe qasr. In as much as this is true, I would like to point out that Ibn Taymiyya still felt that the majority opinion of 4 days among scholars was the safer option to follow.
In one fatwa , he was asked about a traveler who intends to remain for one month in a city: is he permitted to shorten his salah? He replied that it was safer for him not to shorten but to pray in full. In another fatwa where he was asked a similar question, he explicitly permitted a person in a very identical situation to shorten the prayer for this longer period, even while saying that it is 'safer' to pray the full amount.
These fatwas can be found in his work Majmūʾ al-Fatāwā.
Wallahu A'lam

Feanah:
Assalamu alaikum,I think you should ask sheikh @assimalhakeem if you're on Twitter,he's quite knowledgeable and answers asap.
You can also check this https://islamqa.info/en/60358 , I think the question is similar to yours.
But still ask Sheikh Assim Alhakeem of possible & let us know his answer pls.

Exactly the same thing that happened during my stay there

Asalam alaykum.
This issue of Qasr stirred some controversy and debate while I was in camp recently. I think the major problem was with regards to the actual number of days it is permissible for a traveller to shorten his salah as scholars have differed over this . Some say 4 days, some 15 is maximum, some say since the prophet (peace be upon him) was never reported to have shortened his salah for more than 20 days, then that is the limit. And I've also read views which say that some sahaba while on jihad performed Qasr during that entire period which amounted to about 6 months and thus Qasr is valid for a traveller for any length of days so long as he intends on leaving there once the period is over.
During a lecture organised by MCAN in camp, the speaker's view was that it was better we observe the salah in full. Put in mind that the average camp period is roughly 21 days (even though this last stream spent 18 days).
I would like to hear the opinion of knowledgeable brothers and sisters here regarding this issue (with evidences of course) and also those that must have encountered this same issue during their service year.
