Islam for Muslims / The Virtues Of Patience In Light Of The Noble Quran. by Embell: 7:32am On Apr 13, 2018 |
According to Marriem-Webster dictionary patience is the capacity, habit, or fact of being patient, while patient is being able to remain calm and not become annoyed when waiting for a long time or when dealing with problems or difficult people. In Arabic, patience translates into Sabr, written ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ . ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ and references to ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ are mentioned about 90 times in the Quran signifying how important it is for a Muslim. Patience is in fact the hallmark of a good Muslim, it's a prescription from almighty Allah upon us Muslims and the rest of man kind as well. The following are teachings of ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ in light of the Quran: 1. Instruction. Patience is enjoined upon believers: ﻭﺍﺻﺒﺮ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻙ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺎﻟﻠﻪ “And be patient for your patience is but by Allah…” [an-Nahl 16:127] ﻭﺍﺻﺒﺮ ﻟﺤﻜﻢ ﺭﺑﻚ ” Await in patience the command of your Lord…” [at-tur 52:48]. 2. That which is opposite to patience is forbidden: ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﺘﻌﺠﻞ ﻟﻬﻢ and be in no haste about them (disbelievers) [al-Ahqaf 46:35]. ﻭﻻ ﺗﻬﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺤﺰﻧﻮﺍ “So lose not heart nor despair…” [Al ‘Imran 3:139]. ﻭﻻ ﺗﻜﻦ ﻛﺼﺎﺣﺐ ﺍﻟﺤﻮﺕ ﺇﺫ ﻧﺎﺩﻯ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﻜﻈﻮﻡ “…and be not like the Companion of the Fish [i.e. Yunus [alayhissalaam] – when he cried out in agony” [al-Qalam 68:48]. 3.Patience is made a condition of success and prosperity: ﻳﺎ ﺃﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺍﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺻﺎﺑﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺭﺍﺑﻄﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﻔﻠﺤﻮﻥ O you who believe, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful [Al ‘Imran 3:200]. 4. The rewards of those who exercise patience will be doubled: ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻳﺆﺗﻮﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﻣﺮﺗﻴﻦ ﺑﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ “These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast…” [al-Qasas 28:54]. ﺇﻧﻤﺎ ﻳﻮﻓﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻭﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﻐﻴﺮ ﺣﺴﺎﺏ “…Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” [az-Zumar 39:10]. Sulayman ibn Qasim said that the reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience, which will be like heavy rain . 5. Patience and Eemaan are prerequisites for leadership in religion: ﻭﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﺃﺋﻤﺔ ﻳﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﺑﺄﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻟﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻳﻮﻗﻨﻮﻥ “And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs. “ [as-Sajdah 32:24]. 6.Patience is the way to earn the companionship of Allah: ﻭ ﺍﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ “…and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” [al-Anfal 8:46]. Abu Ali ad-Daqqaq said: “ People who have patience are the true winners in this world and the next, because they have the companionship of Allah .” 7. Allah will reward those who have patience with a threefold reward: blessings, mercy and guidance: ﻭﺑﺸﺮ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺃﺻﺎﺑﺘﻬﻢ ﻣﺼﻴﺒﺔ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻟﻠﻪ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﺭﺍﺟﻌﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺻﻠﻮﺍﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺑﻬﻢ ﻭﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻤﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ “…but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere – who say, when afflicted with calamity: ‘To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return’ – they are those on whom [descend] blessings from their Lord, and Mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance” [al-Baqarah 2:155-7]. When people came to offer their condolences to one of the salaf, for some calamity that had befallen him, he said: “ Why should I not practice patience, when Allah has promised those who have patience three rewards, each of which is better than this world and everything in it ?“ 8.Patience is a means of seeking Allah’s help: ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﻴﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﺼﺒﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ “And seek assistance through patience and prayer…” [al-Baqarah 2:45]. So whoever has no patience has no help. 9.Patience and taqwa are conditions for Allah’s help and support: ﺑﻠﻰ ﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﺘﻘﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﺄﺗﻮﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻓﻮﺭﻫﻢ ﻫﺬﺍ ﻳﻤﺪﺩﻛﻢ ﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﺑﺨﻤﺴﺔ ﺁﻻﻑ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﻼﺋﻜﺔ ﻣﺴﻮﻣﻴﻦ “Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction] “ [Al ‘Imran 3:125]. 10.Patience and taqwa are a great protection against the cunning of enemies: ﻭﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﺘﻘﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﻀﺮﻛﻢ ﻛﻴﺪﻫﻢ ﺷﻴﺌﺎ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺑﻤﺎ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﻣﺤﻴﻂ “…And if you are patient and fear Allah , their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do.…” [Al ‘Imran 3:120]. 11.The angels will salute the people of patience in Jannah: ﻭﺍﻟﻤﻼﺋﻜﺔ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﺑﺎﺏ ﺳﻼﻡ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﺗﻢ ﻓﻨﻌﻢ ﻋﻘﺒﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﺍﺭ “…And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying],”Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” [ar-Ra’d 13:23-24]. 12.Allah made it permissible to treat our enemies no worse than they treat us, but He has made it clear that practising patience is better: ﻭﺇﻥ ﻋﺎﻗﺒﺘﻢ ﻓﻌﺎﻗﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻤﺜﻞ ﻣﺎ ﻋﻮﻗﺒﺘﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻭﻟﺌﻦ ﺻﺒﺮﺗﻢ ﻟﻬﻮ ﺧﻴﺮ ﻟﻠﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ “And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient – it is better for those who are patient.” [an-Nahl 16:126]. COMPILED BY IMAM IBN AL QAYYIM RAHIMAHULLAH. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Player like the diminutive Di Nathaniel also happen to be one. Moses can use both feet pretty well, but if I'm compel to choose which one is his favoured feet I would say his right. |

Islam for Muslims / Re: Ruling On A Child That Committed Suicide Before The Age Of Puberty by Embell: 2:55pm On Jan 12, 2018 |
It's astonishing that some non-Muslims here are complaining about Islamic ruling. Ruling that has to do with Muslims way of life; tagging it as restriction, 'chain' or whatsoever. Is it your 'chain'? Muslims are proud that there are rulings guiding us, proud that unlike some religions 'alcohol permissible there is forbidden there', 'tithe here is something else there '. Do constitution not guide state or bond its citizens? Won't there be lawless if there no rules? Rules guiding here and hereafter are true rules. 1 Like |

Sports / 'our Heros Past' - A Compendium Of Keshi's Records And Achievements. by Embell: 7:17am On Jun 08, 2016 |
It's a dagger through our heart that the world lost another great sport personality. Nigeria's very own 'Muhammad Ali' - Stephen Keshi - the big boss - he came, he saw and conquer(Nigeria football). A leader, a commander, and a motivator with this rare undying spirit, paid his due to fatherland. It no more new he has join the list of Nigeria's past hero. He surely left legacies. In the light of this, I will be sharing a compendium of his stand out football achievements, so that we can understand the value of a gem that has just been lost. Every football fans in Nigeria have different perception about this man, howbeit his records achievement still remain. Let's go he into main the issue: Stephen Okechukwu Keshi (born 23 January 1962) was a Nigerian former football defender . He is was football manager of Nigeria. Some of his records include the following; 1. He is one of only two people, along with Egypt 's Mahmoud El-Gohary , to have won the Africa Cup of Nations as both a player and a coach. 2.Between 2004 and 2006 Keshi coached the Togo national football team , unexpectedly bringing them to their first World Cup tournament, Germany 2006 . Having secured Togo's unlikely qualification, he was promptly replaced by German coach Otto Pfister prior to the World Cup finals, after Togo showed a dismal performance and failed to advance to the knock-out stage in 2006 African Cup of Nations in Egypt. 3. Keshi is the first and only indigenous (Nigerian) coach to win the african cup of nations for Nigeria. 4. Nigeria never won any trophy since he left the national team as the captain. It was only after his return to national team as the coach, that Nigeria won its first trophy since 1994. 5. On 18 November 2013, Stephen keshi set a record in African football by being the first African coach to successfully qualify two African nations (Nigeria and Togo) to the World Cup Finals. He also helped Nigeria become the first country to achieve an African Cup of Nations trophy and World Cup qualification, both in 2013. 6.In september 2014 keshi was rank 14th best national team coach in the world just within his first three year as the coach of Nigeria national side. 7.The 'big boss' as keshi is fondly called adopt attacking style of football even when his team is trailing,when playing against highly rated opponents, or when playing without his key players, example is the 2013 FIFA co-federation cup when his team was without Emenike, Moses and, Onazi who were then in top form. In an interview with Fifa.com before Nigeria's opening opening march against Iran Keshi said; I like attacking football. I don't believe you need to sit back and load behind. You've got to be open and make the people come to the stadium. They spend so much money – they need to get value for it. Good, attacking football is what I like. Of course there must be purpose and discipline and togetherness to make the good football work. 8. Keshi never lost any competitive match since 2011 when he was appointed by NFF. However his unbeating run was ended by forlan in a confederation cup match. Interestingly, it was a end to forlan's goal drought in 12 matches. 9. Keshi's team don't lose match without replying opponent with goals except on very few occasion notably Spain and France......and... 10. He remains the first and only Nigerian footballer to win the African Nations Cup for Nigeria as a player and as a coach. He is also the first former national team captain to play at the World Cup and also win a World Cup ticket for Nigeria as a coach. 11. He is the the first Nigeria national team captain to secure and lead Nigeria to its first world cup, where Nigeria reach second round. 12. He lead Nigeria to world cup second round thrice; twice as the team captain in 1994 and 1998 and once as a coach, in 2014. *WRITTEN BY EMBELL* REFERENCES http://m.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2014/ m=6/news=keshi-tactical-discipline-has- let-african-teams-down-2368609.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Stephen_Keshi http://www.premiumtimesng.com/ sports/168374-fifa-names-keshi-best- african-coach.html http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ confed-cup-forlan-ends-keshis-unbeaten- run/151077 seun lalasticlala let Nigerians celebrate this fallen hero. |

U-23 AFCON: Senegal cruise into semis, dominate Tunisia 2-0 A wonder goal set hosts Senegal up to beat Tunisia 2-0 in Dakar on Tuesday and move closer to qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games football tournament. Ibrahima Diedhiou, a Belgium-based central defender wearing pink boots, unleashed a ninth-minute shot from the centre circle that flew over goalkeeper Sabri Ben Hassen into the net. It was the second time in two African qualifying tournament games that Ben Hassen strayed off his line and was beaten by a long-range shot with Zambian Ronald Kampamba the scorer last Saturday. Substitute Mouhamadou ‘Habib’ Diallo assured Senegal of a matchday 3 victory with a close-range strike off a cross five minutes from time before a near-capacity crowd at the 60,000-seat Stade Leopold Sedar Senghor. It was a deserved victory for the hosts over niggly opponents, whose constant fouling and time wasting dashed hopes of a spectacle in the top-of-the-table Group A showdown. Success assured Senegal of a top-two finish and a place in the semi-finals of the two-week tournament with the countries coming first, second and third overall qualifying for the Rio Games. Senegal complete their mini-league schedule Friday with a match at the same stadium against Zambia, who have been eliminated and will be playing only for pride.[b][/b][color=#006600][/color] 1 Like |

Sports / Fifa Finally Banned Jack Warner(for Life). by Embell: 7:14am On Sep 30, 2015 |
Jack Warner has been banned for life from all football-related activity, the adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee of the sport’s world governing body said on Tuesday,AFP reports. The former Caribbean federation president “was found to have committed many and various acts of misconduct continuously and repeatedly during his time as an official in different high-ranking and influential positions at FIFA and CONCACAF” said the Ethics Committee statement. The 72-year-old’s ban covers all football activity at both a national and international level and is effective from September 25. “In his positions as a football official, he was a key player in schemes involving the offer, acceptance, and receipt of undisclosed and illegal payments, as well as other money-making schemes,” added the statement. Warner is also fighting extradition from his homeland in Trinidad and Tobago to the United States to face 12 charges of wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering related to the ongoing FIFA corruption scandal. He faces a hearing in his homeland in December. www.punchng.com/sports/warner-banned-for-life |
Health / Caribbean Village: Where Female Children Grow Penis At Puberty by Embell: 11:14am On Sep 26, 2015 |
GIRLS in a remote Caribbean village are becoming boys when they hit puberty due to a rare genetic disorder. One in 90 children born in Salinas in the Dominican Republic grow a penis in a natural transformation from female to male. Known as the guevedoces, which translates as penis at 12, these youngsters are referred to in medical terms as “pseudohermaphrodite”. It is so common to be a pseudohermaphrodite in Salinas that it is accepted as a third sex, alongside male and female. The phenomenon is explored in a new BBC2 series called Countdown to Life – the Extraordinary Making of You. Presenters meet Johnny, 24, who is physically and biologically male but was once known as Felicitia. As a child, he did not have a penis and was brought up as a girl. He said: “I remember I used to wear a little red dress. I was born at home instead of in a hospital. They didn’t know what sex I was. “I went to school and I used to wear my skirt. I never liked to dress as a girl. When they bought me girls toys I never bothered playing with them. All I wanted to do was play with the boys.” The rare genetic disorder is caused by a missing enzyme which prevents the production of the male sex hormone dihydro- testosterone in the womb. It creates what looks like a baby girl on birth. But at puberty, when testosterone flows, their voices break and they grow a male sexual reproductive organ that they become recognised as male. BBC presenter Dr Michael Mosley said: “Guevedoces are also sometimes called ‘machihembras’ meaning ‘first a woman, then a man.’ “When they’re born they look like girls with no testes and what appears to be a vagina. “It is only when they near puberty that the penis grows and testicles descend.” The guevedoces were first studied by Cornell University endocrinologist Dr Julianne Imperato in the 1970s. She travelled to the region to learn more about rumours that girls were morphing into boys. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/caribbean-village-where-female-children-grow-penis-at-puberty/ lalasticlala, can you just move this to FP |
