Asiwaju, you are On Your Own. 2019 isn't 2015.

Buhari has disappointed a whole lot of us including you.

Even if he will win, the pains he has caused wouldn't let it happen because his 2nd term will surely be worse.

Enough of the sufferings and agonies all in the name of CHANGE.

God will give us somebody far better than Buhari.

It is allowed to use the phrase so as to attract patronage. An effective marketing strategy cannot be overemphasized.

Believe it or not, the current leaders are aimless and passive.

Noted with thanks, but there can never be a time without grammatical errors in English language.

That clearly shows how naive APC were as at that time, precisely 9th of June, 2015.

Truly, APC is unfit to be a ruling party, being an opposition party befits APC.

He knows better, Osho left debt for him truly.

Treason ko, treacherous ni. Awon oni ranu.

Why the desperation on removing Saraki is waxing stronger in APC na?

Could they have been this desperate with the bad economy, spate of killings and mediocrity, Nigeria would have been far better

Sai SARAKI!

I confidently reserve my comment.

Rashduct4luv:
Jazaak Allah khayran for this treatise.May Allah bless us all with more understanding of the deen. Can one thank Allah with two nawaafils?

And this kind of Sujood is common among Muslim footballers but is unclothedness permitted during the sujood?

It has not been narrated that the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) dedicated a specific prayer called Salaat ash-Shukr. The only act of worship established is Sujood ash-Shukr – as mentioned above.

unclothedness is not permitted.

Allah knows best.

Wa iyaka.

There is no specific du’aa’ narrated in the ahaadeeth for sujood al-shukr, hence the scholars said that what is to be said in sujood al-shukr is the same tasbeeh and du’aa’ as are said when prostrating in prayer.
So one should say Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa (Glory be to my Lord Most High), Allaahumma laka sajadtu wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhi lilladhi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu, tabaaraka Allaah ahsan ul-khaaliqeen (O Allaah, unto You I prostrate, in You I believe and to You I submit. My face has prostrated to the One who created and formed it, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed be Allaah, the best of creators). Then he should make du’aa’ as he likes.

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the description, rulings and conditions of sujood al-shukr are the same as those for sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reciting certain verses of Qur’aan). (al-Mughni, 2/372). And he said concerning sujood al-tilaawah: he should say in this prostration what he says in the prostration during prayer. (al-Mughni, 2/362).

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Sujood al-shukr is done in response to a calamity that is averted or a blessing which come to a person. It is like sujood al-tilaawah outside prayer. Some of the scholars said that wudoo’ and takbeer is required, and some said that only the first takbeer is required. Then he should fall down in prostration, and make du’aa’ after saying “Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa (Glory be to my Lord Most High).”
(Fataawa Islamiyyah, 1/205)

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

In the name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.

Sujood ash-Shukr is a prostration which is performed for Allaah, in order to show Shukr (thanks and gratitude) to Him for a specific blessing.

When is it performed?

No doubt every blessing is from Allaah. He said,

{Whatever you have of blessing – it is from Allah} [16:53]

However Sujood ash-Shukr is not performed for blessings in general, rather it is only performed for a specific blessing at a specific time – such as a person being blessed with the birth of their child, getting a job or passing an exam. It can also be performed when a specific harm is alleviated from a person – such as being cured from an illness or being saved from calamity.

Evidence from the Sunnah

Upon the authority of Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him),

Whenever the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) was pleased by a matter or was given the glad tidings of a matter, he would go into prostration as a form of Shukr to Allaah.

It has also been narrated about Ka’ab ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him), when his repentance was accepted by Allaah and the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) stopped boycotting him, he prostrated to Allaah.

“The fact that Ka’ab ibn Maalik prostrated when he heard the glad tidings [of his sin being forgiven] is a clear evidence that this act was a common practice of the companions.

Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq prostrated when news reached him that Musaylamah the Liar had been killed. Alee’ prostrated when Dhul Thadiyyah had been killed among the Khawaarij. The Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) also prostrated when Jibreel gave him the glad tidings that whoever sends salutations upon the Prophet once, Allaah will send salutations on that person ten fold…”

How it is performed

As soon as a person hears of a specific blessing, it is recommended for him to immediately prostrate to Allaah. This is a prostration like any other prostration – in terms of prostrating on seven limbs [4] and saying:

سبحان ربي الأعلى

Glorified is my Lord, the Most High

A person should then also thank Allaah for the blessing.

There is no evidence however, for a person to say Takbeer at the beginning of the prostration, nor Tasleem after it.

Does a person have to be in a state of Wudhu?

“The correct opinion is that it is not obligated upon a person to be in a state of Wudhu when performing Sujood ash-Shukr. This is because the reason for performing it is due to an occurrence of a blessing or removal of a harm, and there is no specific time for this in which a person can prepare for it. In such a case, whenever a person is blessed, he should immediately perform Sujood ash-Shukr in whatever state he is in.” [5]

Innovations

There are a number of innovations and fabricated narrations which are occurring in relation to Sujood ash-Shukr:

1. Salaat ash-Shukr

It has not been narrated that the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) dedicated a specific prayer called Salaat ash-Shukr. The only act of worship established is Sujood ash-Shukr – as mentioned above.

2. Performing Sujood ash-Shukr after each prayer or after reciting Qur’an

As mentioned previously in the Hadeeth, the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) would only perform Sujood ash-Shukr on specific instances of good news or being saved from calamity. Therefore to introduce a new practice of performing a separate Sujood after each prayer is blameworthy and is a Bid’ah (an innovation).

3. Saying Alhamdulillah 3 times, or Shukr Lillah 3 times

To specify a saying or Du’aa in Islaam requires evidence that it was done by the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) and his companions. It is not known that the above statements were specified to be said during Sujood ash-Shukr.

A Fabricated Narration

There is a narration which is mentioned by people in relation to Sujood ash-Shukr. It is,

“When the slaves of Allah do Sajdah-ul-Shukr, Allah opens the hijaab between them & the angels. He says to the Angels, ‘look at my slave, he did his fardh, obeyed my teachings and then performed Sujood to thank Me for what I’ve blessed him with.

‘Oh My Angels what should he get?’ The Angels will reply, ‘Ya Rabbana give him Your mercy.’

Then Allah will ask again, ‘and what else?’ The Angels will reply, ‘Ya Rabana give him Your heaven.’

Then Allah will ask again, ‘and what else?’ The Angels will reply, ‘Ya Rabana make his worries end.’

Then Allah Ta’aala will ‘ask what else?’

Every time Allah asks and what else?

The Angels will reply, something good to be given or be done to the person who does Sajdah-ul-Shukr.

Lastly the Angels will reply, ‘Ya Rabana we have no knowledge.’

Then Allah will say, ‘ I’ll thank him the way he thanked Me, I’ll give him My favour and show him My mercy’.” [End of narration].

Note: It should be known that this is a fabricated narration and has not been mentioned in the authentic books of Hadeeth and Sunnan. Rather it is a narration spread by the Rawaafidh Shee’ah in their books such as Bihaar al-Anwaar, Mustadrak al-Wasaail and others.

It is therefore not permitted to spread this hadeeth, rather this fabrication should be clarified and warned against.

Allaah knows best.

Nigeria is actually learning...

That is highly commendable.

Awesome experience is going to be riding in Bose suspension

Is it a curse or what in Africa?

The plot will surely be in futility.

If you know, you know. APC led federal government is the most confused and disorganized ever had in Nigeria.

You can say that again. Anarchism is more prevalent in APC led administration even with Professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria as Vice President.

princechurchill:
APC and illegality are like twins

God answer my prayers! Just a paper left for me to become a chartered accountant. I CAN come November 2019.

Election stuff

Nonsensical

Sincerely speaking.

Firefire:
Buhary as Nigeria president is a grave mistake.

I pray such a mistake will not repeated next year.

Hmn!

lastmessenger:
There is no need for buhari to hold live conference. We are yet to recover from the disgrace of the last one he held. He should remain quiet until he leaves to his village come 2019.

I can't wait to see him back to Daura.

Gistusmore:
The centenarian, who hails from Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul and another relation, now 87.

So Pa Celestine gave birth to his son at the age of 13.
Hmn! Take away from this is not to be angry beyond control.

My guy, you get my backing. She is sick in the head too.

lalasticlala:
Those that want to fight & kill themselves because of politicians should take it easy o.

I pray the gullible ones will be blessed with that knowledge and wisdom, so as to know that the political actors are selfish and careless about the welfare of the masses.

Fight not over them.

This is indicative that Mr Integrity is morally and technically unfit to be reelected come 2019.

This is a welcome development.
