If you are among those using the statement of the Prophet that the one who does not have the means to marry should fast as evidence for this liberalism in the garb of fighting poverty, note that you are creating problems for yourself because you are speaking before you know:
1) You are saying this hadith contradicts the Qur'an wherein Allah says “And marry those among you who are single and (also marry) the Saalihoon (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid‑servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allaah is All‑Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All‑Knowing (about the state of the people)” [Qur'an 24:32].
2) You are also saying that it was a a command to fast not an advice. This means every youth who cannot marry who is presently not fasting is commiting a sin.
This is how liberalists make the religion more difficult while thinking they are making it easy (i am not saying everyone who makes this mistake is a liberalist). This is the explanation the scholars give for the hadith you are misquoting:
"The one who cannot afford it is instructed to fast so as to suppress his desire, but that does not mean that he is not allowed to seek to get married. Perhaps he will find someone who will help him to get married, or perhaps he will find someone who will accept him in his current situation because of his religious commitment and righteousness. These are individual cases that vary according to people’s situations and customs. As for the meaning of the hadeeth of Ibn Mas‘ood, it is a general teaching and advice to those who are not able to get married, instructing them to protect themselves by fasting. If anyone among them finds a means to get married, there is nothing wrong with that; in fact he is encouraged and urged to do so. Hence when he said “and whoever cannot afford it”, he did not say “let him not get married”; rather he said “[he] should fast”, lest he fall into sin. But if he is able to get married with some difficulty, there is undoubtedly nothing wrong with that. Rather fasting is given as an alternative when one is not able to get married; if one is able to get married, even with some difficulty, then that is preferable." - Shaykh Muhammad Salih Almunajeed

Luqman was once asked: “Who is the best one in terms of patience?” He said: “It is the one who practices no harm after observing patience.” Then he was asked: “Who is the best one in terms of knowledge?” He said: “It is he who adds to his own knowledge through the knowledge of others.” When asked: “Who is the best from among the whole people?” he said: “It is the wealthy.” They said: “Is it the one who has properties and riches?” He said: “No! But, it is the one who is generous in doing good when others seek it from him, and, it is the one who does not need anything from others”(narrated by Abdur Razzaq after Mu’amir after Ayyub after Abu Qulabah).

·٠• The Wisdom Of Luqman ·٠•

The son of Luqman said to his father, ' O my beloved father, which quality of man is the best? '

He replied, 'Deen.'

He then asked, ' If there were two? '

He replied, 'Deen & Wealth.'

He asked, ' If there were three? '

He replied, 'Deen, Wealth & Modesty.'

He asked, ' If there were four? '

He replied, 'Deen, Wealth, Modesty & Good Character. '

He asked, ' If there were five? '

He replied, 'Deen, Wealth, Modesty, Good character & Generosity. '

He said, ' If there were six? '

Luqman replied, 'O my son! If a person had these five qualities combined in him, he would be pure and pious and a friend of Allah. He would be free of Shaitaan.'

Luqman said, 'I have moved rocks and carried speech, but i have not seen anything heavier than debt.
I have eaten wholesome foods and embraced good deeds, but i have never witnessed anything tastier than health and vitality. '

He said, ' When you are engaged in Salaah, then protect your heart.
When you are engaged in eating,
then protect your throat.
If you are in someone else's home,
then protect your eyes.
When you are amongst people, then protect your tongue.

Think of two things and forget two;

As for the two you should remember;
they are Allah and death.

And the two which you should forget are; The good you have done for others, and the evil done to you by others.'

Pls help me.

You seem to have not gotten a replacement yet for the Music.... Listen to the Qur'an constantly instead, your passion for it will grow then music would be a thing of the past... I used to be an ardent lover of music in the past too. It came like a big shock to my siblings then when I stopped listening, they were like "so you could stop listening to music" ! ... Alhamdu lillah for everything

“Do not feel secure because of a great number of deeds for you do not know if they have been accepted or not. Do not feel secure about your sins for you do not know if they have been expiated or not. This is because all of your deeds are unseen to you and you have no idea what ALLAAH WILL DO with them.” - 'AbduLLAAHI ibn ‘Awn [The Journey to ALLAAH, Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali]

Every sane and sensible lady should hate Polygamy. Can a man share his wife with two other men? It is common sense and i feel sorry for those who happen to find themselves in polygamous marriage. But it is waning down slowing especially among the youths, Most Muslims nowadays considered polygamous marriages a burden unless the uneducated ones.

You need to go learn more about your religion (Islam) if really you are one though...

Even some kuffar slept in the masjid during the time of the prophet. There was one popular scenario like that (I have forgotten his name) , he woke up to the recitation of the Qur'an by the prophet during Subhi when he woke up from sleep.......

I have read condemnation after condemnation of a reality TV show called Big Brother. From all indications, wizards and witches form the bulk of the organisers and participants as its critics are under its spell.
As far as plebeians like me are concerned, the 'critics' of the show are its PR crew. But for them, I wouldn't have known about it. Una weydon o!
The 'prostitutes' in the said bush house are only bold or is it shameless(?) young Nigerians acting out what plays on campuses and other human assemblies in our aping clime.
Most of us are as cheap as whoring loins. We are mostly guilty of opening our legs to wicked patrons for different prizes: self aggrandizement, ego massage or mere ethnic glorification. Isn't this what the said scoundrels in that house are doing?
It's a shame our institutions are so perverted I am glad I don't patronise them. Shame!
Considering that teachers in our public schools send their children to private schools, Doctors in General Hospitals take their Wives and wards to private hospitals etc, we are hardly justified to lambaste a select group for condescending to the level of our high and mighty.
NTA must be making money for championing the Big Brother show of shame. The authorities of the NTA don't thrive on sanctimonious leanings. This millennium is for desperadoes. Anything for money is no longer a berated maxim. Shame!
Those of us who advocate institutional reconstruction forget the the structure we sing about building can't be cemented by fine sand. The blocks (we) are too Sandy to stand, let alone form a solid structure.
I laugh at our armchair reformists who are vociferously opposed to the decay that is their means of livelihood.
From university dons who subject younger girls than their daughters to unprintable abuse to our brown envelope journalists and their columnists who on a daily basis, feed through condemning the decay of which they are guiltier than other perpetrators to all other pretentious preachers, one watches a nauseating comedy.
Our decay appears the main institution from which we look forward to our redemption. Aren't we clowns?

jazakAllâh khayr brother, but shaykh Al-albaani(may Allâh have mercy on him) has been asking the scholars of saudi(may Allâh preserve the ones alive and have mercy on the ones dead) for their daleel for putting the hands back to the chest after the rukoo', no single daleel apart from the general meaning of the hadeeth about the man who prayed badly, applying general meaning to specific issues is wrong, just like one brother, may Allâh rectify his affairs tried to use the hadeeth that commands us to forbid evil with our hands, mouth and heart when we see one, he tried to use the hadeeth to justify protest, if we truly look at the general meaning of this hadeeth, it seems legit, but we all know it's not.

so my point is, the general meaning of the hadeeth can't be used, this position is strengthened the more that none of the salafs did this act as mentioned by shaykh Al-albaani.

shaykh Al-albaani also brought the hadeeth from abu hurayrah in his sifatus salaah where the prophet ordered that while rising from rukoo' our bones should go back to it's place, he(rahimahullâh), brought another hadeeth from ibn Rafa' that the prophet ordered we straighten our back, and raise our head until the bones go back to their joints. This hadeeth even clarify the more, so its evident that the correct thing is to put it to the sides and not the chest.

in the words of shaykh Al-albaani, putting the hands on the chest after rukoo' is bidah and misguidance, if this issue had a foundation, it would've been transmitted to us in atleast one chain, but no single chain has been brought for this action.

wAllâhu a'lam.

This actually depends on the interpretation of the hadith. Other shuyuukh hold a contrary position from this. And no one should be scolded for holding a contrary position on matters like this... May Allah rectify our affairs

“Everyone falls short of his wisdom and knowledge sometimes. If this life brought him an increase in money, he becomes happy and elated. Meanwhile, the nights and the days keep decreasing his life term, but he does not become sad on account of this decrease. What good will the increases in wealth bring, when the life-term is ever decreasing?”

Umartins1:
GST: let me start with this. GST is an abbreviation for General studies often called GNS in most schools. If you however call General Studies, GNS instead of GST before an average Akokite, what you will get is a puppet staring at you with amazement. In UNILAG, it is GST not GNS.


Overnight: another crazy and very popular term in UNILAG. Traditionally, overnight refers to going out of the hostel and slipping into an unlocked class to read. Wait! Want to know why this is crazy? There are two reasons. First, when an Akokite tells you he is going for overnight, he expects you to fall on your knees and worship him. To him, he is a hero of books as sacrificing the comfort of his bed deserves some iconic eulogy. There is a second reason that is crazier. 95% of those who go for this overnight don't go there to read. Some go with their laptops and consoles(for games), some, dressed in their nicest clothes and shoes, go to advertise them and 60% of the 95% go with condoms.


Bonafide: only an Akokite that is able to secure a hall of residence understands the feeling, pride and the Buzz about being a bona-fide resident in the school hostel. If you find a student dragging it really hard or in a heated conversation with the hostel porters, be sure as hell that he is a bona-fide. He wouldn't dare standing in the front of porters in the first place if he was not. See, in UNILAG hostels, there is this caste system in existence. Let me quickly bring in another term

Porters/squatters: of course everyone knows what the hostel porters do but in UNILAG, their job extends beyond what is obtained in other schools. To the bona-fide, porters are just tool of play but to squatters, those who live in the hostel illegally, porters are hell descendants. They both constantly devise ways to outsmart each other. If you see a student entering a hostel with bold, non smiling face and fiercely walking like a soldier in battle array, he is a squatter. And on his unlucky day, the fierce walking no matter how brisk ends with, "hello, my friend, where is your pass? " the rambling voice of the hell descendants.


2001: what do you think this is? A year? No. This is a canteen in UNILAG which is spectacular for its large space, long chain retail trade and most importantly, its cheap prices of food. Of course, that is the Economics invisible hand at work. There are more sellers of food than buyers. This is the canteen mostly paraded by broke guys like me. If you are a broke AKokite and you despise eating in an open space, sorry is your case. Apart from 2001, every other canteen in UNILAG is not pocket friendly.


New hall: if you ask an 'average' Akokite what new hall is (not where, everyone knows that), he will tell you it is a popular park. If, however, you ask a 'real' Akokite, what new hall is, he will tell you to wait until nightfall before he explains.And when night eventually falls, all he has to do is to take you to new hall and with your naked eyes, you will witness first-class prostitution. New hall is reputable for such because of the interwovened female hostels. Here is the first place I saw two Range Rover sports, three Toyota venzas and one Land cruiser Prado parked side by side.


Senate building: lol. Only 'bad' guys use this term often. And they actually meant the Senate building that houses the office of the VC. Although, guys' businesses are not inside the building but behind it nor are their businesses during the official hours but at night when even the full moon won't be enough to provide enough light. Many things go on here. For guys in the faculty of Arts whose classes are closer to the Senate building, overnight is an intriguing endeavour.


Alpha base: this is the last place an Akokite ever wishes to visit. No student has ever gone there and returned happily unless he is a mere witness. Alpha base is the dreaded security headquarters of the school. The agents of this alpha base are popularly called baba blue by the student populace. Their uniform is blue colour. Call them baba blue to their face and you are sure to graduate without convocation.

UBA park: this is a combination of Senate building and new hall. It is not a good place for an innocent soul to visit at night.

And lastly.......


Lagoon Front: this is the pride of every Akokite. You will find students sitting under the scorching sun Just to stare at the water. This is the most visited place in UNILAG.it is visited by 'tourist-students' in the day and by 'other' students at night for some businesses that should be occurring in the 'other' room.


I drop my pen!


Greatest Akokites

We see you when you are inflicted with a disease, you knock every physician’s door looking for treatment and bearing whatever pain that may result from surgical operations and the bitterness of medicine. Why do you not do the same when your heart is spiritually sick with sins?

Dear guardians! Do you really need to send your Hijab-clad daughters, sisters, nieces and wives to the street – in contravention of Allaah's explicit injunction, "and stay in your houses and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former times of Ignorance" (Al-Ahzaab 33) just to show some ignorant Muslims or some non-Muslims the importance of Hijaab? By Allaah, you don't need to!
Teach them pristine Islaam and show them its beauty and the practicability of its teachings through your actions and words, they will realise the importance of Hijaab!
Attempting to show how important Hijaab is by sending women to the streets on a procession is not only a shortcut that leads nowhere; it is also counterproductive in that it could earn you Allaah's wrath!

Kunya is Abu (name of first child) or Umm (name of first child). It is sometimes used as a nickname without referring to a child.

it's not necessarily it should be the name of the first child or daughter. It could be the name of a pet names like Abu Hurayrah, Abu Mahir(not sure about the spelling though).... It could also be the name of a child other than his/hers...

Before you marry him /her...
Shaikh Muhammad Saalih Al-uthaimeen [rahimahullah] said:
Some people say: "I will marry a woman who is not religious, perhaps Allah will guide her at my hands."
And we say: " We are not entrusted with what will happen in the future.As for the future,we do not know about it.It may be that you marry her while desiring that Allah will guide her in your hands.however,it may be that she may change your state to what she is upon."
