AbdH:
Bro, you couldn't be more wrong. Even the prophet SAW allowed a Christian congregation in his mosque.

Dont pay him no mind. He pretends a lot. Ask him if Popes have never visited or invited to mosques. They even prayed. What is that called, intolerant?

^nothing wrong with this

why are Christians vexing here now. peteregwu, whatz up? Catholic is now bad?. Deal with it

tbaba1234,

Here is the thing though. We should not just quote 1400yrs old texts and leave it there. Rather the texts and works of early Ulama are stepping stones for us. Other than using isnad to determine authenticity of suspicious hadith, the other way is to practically test its authenticity in the case like this.

Some ahadith can be tested by just waiting for event(s) to unfold. Like ahadith of prophecies.

Now back to Sura Yasin, you can hold your view that it's da'ef or fabricated. I dont. I dont know method you used when you learned this. But I am suspicious it's by studying and reading. But when I was growing up, I was more practical than reading. It's only now that I am reading to affirm some things I had practically involved in.

As a matter of fact, I just came across those ahadith of Sura Yasin few days ago. Tagging it weak or fabricated is definitely not something I can accept because:

1. I actually lived amongst those who practically recited it.

2. All the fantastic worldly rewards mentioned in the ahadith of Sura Yasin, I experienced them. They are obviously exactly as hadith predicted.

3. Eye witness: I saw and felt the power of Sura Yasin.

For example, we made this dua for a stingy client. We had to recite Yasin 1,111. But with this much, he must buy a cow as instructed but he refused. He bought a kind of big ram instead. The prayer was done overnight. By the time we finished and went outside to sacrifice ram, it was dead while standing. We said 'we told you so'. It was then client believed.

Another client did similar. After we finished prayers and ready to sacrifice, this is even a big ram. No blood gushed out from the gullet. The whole thing was white. Not even a drop of blood. This means the ram was clinically dead beforehand.

Another example was after the man in question completed Surah Yasin for himself, his compound fence and gate started shaking (rumbling). We stood outside and chanting Allahu Akbar resoundingly.

Another example was when the man, me and his 2nd son were walking down his street, a woman was scared and ran for cover. I asked him what's wrong with her?. He replied she must be afraid of Yasin. He said those who afraid of it have something to hide...like they are Aje (witches). He explained this to us that evil people instead of seeing him, Yasin transforms to wild animal trying to chase them.

I may not be scholar to upgrade this ahadith of Sura Yasin but at the minimum, I can definitely confirm it's sahih through my practical experiences. I was not just reading.

I believe that those rewards, at least worldly rewards mentioned in the hadith can only be achieved due to excessive devotion of the sura NOT part-time. That is, it's has to be "career dua" in order to scythe these benefits. Not only when one encounters problems.

Remember I was narrating a story about this man. Sura Yasin is his career dua all his life. The only time he worked outside of his home was when he was teenager up to early 20s as an electrician in Lagos. Since then he had focus on prayers which put food on his table. He's married with 4 wives and 17 children. He has large compound with 2 heavy buildings, and an average building described as bungalow in it. That's 3 buildings in a compound.

In the same city, he has about 15 lands, at least 2 plots each of which 4 of them are fenced with gates. He also (because he wants to be able to move around) has poultry and fish ponds. He also has a large building in Lagos. Another 3 lands somewhere in Lagos. Another big one as big as tourists attraction in the Eastern Nigeria. Yet he works for nobody. So to my knowledge these are all I know. He may even have more that I have no idea. Now please go back up there and re-read my 1st, 2nd and 3rd posts about ahadith of Yasin's rewards and benefits dated Nov. 28 and compare them with these values/virtues. You can't get beat that.

Even though he does not work outside his home, and at this age, the only thing he relies on is tawakal ala allah. For instance, this past ileya (Eld adha), few weeks before, he told me he has no money to execute it. But 2 days before eld I was told by his daughter he just bought 3 rams and a cow. Now can you deduce this from Nigeria economy today unless you are in to politics?. How could he afford that when he doesn't work outside his home?. This is called tawakal ala allah.

When I was there, during Ramadan each year, he would slaughter a big ram (Agbo nla funfun) every 10 days after completing Surah Yasin 313 ([size=5pt]Three hundred and thirteen[/size]) with khutba and a dua called Jabar. He must finish this every 10 days before slaughtering rams.

In summary He recites Sura Yasin 939 times in Ramadan.

Also for Odun Ileya (Eld Adha), he buys nothing less than 6 Rams and a cow. Let me break this down for you. He buys average 3 rams... 1 for his father, 1 for his mother 1 for his aunt (his father's sister).

He buys another 3 big rams.... 1 for his dua Yasin which he must complete before Arafat (before sacrificing it). The other 2 big rams and big cow are for him and his family.

Note, rams he buys for dua, he and his immediate family(i:e his wives and children) do not eat from them. It's mokruh(dislike) for the nature of this dua. This is secret. You dont know this brother. He disseminates cow to the poor. He also gives away those rams for his dua. Remember I narrated this earlier. Bro, there is a lot to learn. I was not just reading growing up. I was more practical. That's why I have to say I am sorry I have to dismiss the so called da'ef and fabricated hadith of Sura Yasin. If you want more stories. I will tell you more about him. But what you are doing is reading. Mechanical learning. Nothing much to deduce from that.

Mechanical learning yields little or no result. Point is if worldly rewards are factual, probability of "unseen rewards" in afterlife are very much possible as stated in the ahadith but I dont particularly worry myself about that. "Rewards" in afterlife is the key.

[quote author=tbaba1234 post=28449074]

The science of hadiths are well documented.

i knew you would come to this

Most of these hadiths are weak or fabricated, this will be based on weakness in isnad or lack of it.

i knew it is because of isnad. Definitely this particular hadith is not false but i challenge its weakness.

Scholars can debate about authencity of some hadiths but as far as I have learnt, most of hadith of surah yaseen are weak or fabricated.

Debate or not. Learned it or not. The Sura Yasin is dua. And the only way to test its authenticity is by practical . Let's see what comes out of it. Did you come across this when you were learning it?

Now, unless you are a hadith scholar, you are not an authority and I am sorry, I can not take your opinions seriously.

I don't claim this neither will I take their works absolute. Why did they skip fabricated hadith then in Bukhari attributed to Aisha (ra) saying rosul married her at 6?. But many among ulama still hold it authentic but dispute authenticity rewards of surah Yasin.

A weak hadith does not mean a false hadith. It means there is a weakness in the transmission. It could be correct.

A weak hadith doest not mean throwing it out or neglecting it. I dont know why this hadith of surah Yasin mysteriously tagged weak. As you can see, hadith scientists or islamaq don't dispute "rewards in this life" from the benefits of this surah. Their only problem seems to be "rewards in lifeafter" which I dont see big deal with. All I know is Allah will reward me for it.

Question is if rewards in this life are obvious, tagging it weak or false in itself is false. Thats common sense, isnt?.

There is no way to determine those 'afterlife rewards'. According to you, unless it's Mutawatir i:e numerous narrators.

Most of these hadiths are weak or fabricated, this will be based on weakness in isnad or lack of it.

[quote author=tbaba1234 post=28444635]

most of
which are, however, false and fabricated,
and some of which are slightly weak
(da’eef).

What standard they used to arrive at this conclusions?

We have not found any saheeh
hadeeth which speaks specifically of the
virtues of Soorat Ya-Seen.

This doesn't mean anything. At least it (the so called daef or fabricated hadith) has one chain.

“Everything has a heart, and the heart of
the Qur’aan is Ya-Seen; whoever reads it, it
is as if he has read the Qur’aan ten times.”

“Whoever reads Soorat Ya-Seen in one night
will be forgiven in the morning.”

“Whoever continues to read it every night
then dies, will die as a shaheed (martyr).”
“Whoever enters the graveyard and reads
Soorat Ya-Seen, their (punishment) will be
reduced that day, and he will have hasanaat
(reward) equal to the number of people in
the graveyard.”

These are a matter of unseen rewards They can nether be confirmed nor denied. But since the so called scholars of hadith categorized them as weak or false, on what is that based?. Did God or His prophet (saw) denied them or refuted those rewards? Fact is this is unnecessary emphasis.

I am not done yet. I will return here to tackle or refute http://islamqa.info/en/75894 using practical tactics.

tbaba1234:
Empiree, most on the narrations on Surah Yaseen, are fabricated or weak.

Advice on Friends!

A real friend wishes his companions well,
He's not one who allows them to get close to hell,
Always be careful of the friends you choose,
So, in the end, Janah you will not lose,
If you find your companion is not stopping your wrong,
then, be weary, his friendship is not strong.
If you see the pattern made,
that when you are under your friend's shade,
Your Iman begins to fade,
Leave the worthless creation,
make friends with Allah, Surely that is a high station!.
A dervish who had knowledge of our present situation,
Once told his students the following dictation,
"The meeting of people will never enrich you,
save with the gibberish of useless gossip.
So diminish your meeting with people,
except for knowledge or to improve your condition" ~Empiree

Peace At Last

Walking through the woods on a snowy day,
Seeing the crystal blanket was so deep,
I made a wrong turn and lost my own way.
Sliding over the hill Allah made so steep,
Finding the perfect place where I could rest,
I sat down beneath a tree that looked best.
As I sat watching the snow calmly fall,
I then laid me down to give up my all.
Curling up to go to sleep on the ground,
Hearing the voice of my friend calling me,
No longer would I utter one more sound.
Death takes my hand and pulls me from the tree.
Escaping a thornful life for my gain,
I'll reach a home of peace that has no pain.

Society's Disease

Racism, the great crime of humanity.
Why does one's race always claim superiority?
We are all the same; there is no inferiority.
When we look at each other we see a resembling face.
We all have a body and a soul of grace.
As individuals, we do have differences.
Some of us may take risks and chances.
Others of us may be shy and give few glances.
We should find common ground and make peace.
The hatred and killing should desist and cease.
We are all the children of Adam and in life have a lease.
We should lend a helping hand to each other.
We should remember that Eve is our common mother.
We should love our human sisters and brothers.

Desert Rose

I began my journey the day I was born.
My name told my destiny.
Yet, it remained hidden for me to discover.
I traveled a long time to get to this moment.
So many cactuses I stumbled over in the dark.
No star lighted my path-- I was not yet awake.
Naivety guided me into sandstorms that made wounds in my soul.
Ignorance blinded me as the cactus' thorns scratched me.
However, these wounds propelled me forward and kept me on
a certain path.
One day, when I looked ahead, I saw an oasis.
A mirage, I thought, so I slowly walked towards it-- expecting
to be fooled again.
When I reached the mirage, I found a rose.
I touched it and found it was no dream.
Entranced by this rose, I placed it in the vase of my heart.
As it took root, it became a part of me.
My blindness lifted, for I could see the true Light.
Faith rested in my heart.
My desert rose led me to this destiny.
When I stray-- its paper thorns remind me to come back to
the straight path.
Each day it continues growing, it strengthens my heart and
my soul.
I water it with my prayers, my charity, my fasting.
This rose is here to stay--
It guides me to an eternal Garden.
My thoughts, my goals, my actions are preparing my place in
that Garden.
That is where I will rest my roots--
As long as this rose remains in my heart.

[size=15pt]What are some of the benefits of reading Surah Yaseen?[/size]

1. Reading Surah Yaseen at the beginning of the day causes Allah to fulfil all your needs for that day.

Hadhrat ‘Ataa’ bin Abi Ribaah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) says that Prophet Mohamed (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said, “ Whoever reads Surah Yaseen in the beginning of the day, all his needs for that day are fulfilled.”


2. Reading Surah Yaseen is equivalent to reading the whole Quran 10 times.

“Everything has a heart and the heart of the Glorious Quran is Surah Yaseen. Whoever reads Surah Yaseen, Allah records for them a reward equal to that of reading the whole Quran 10 times.” [Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]

According to one hadith, Surah Yaseen is named in the Torah as “Mun’imah” i.e. Giver of Good Things. This is because it contains benefits of the reader both in this world and the next. It removes from them the afflictions of this worlds and the next. Surah Yaseen also takes away the dread of the next life. [Hashiya of Tafsir Jalalalayn , pg 368].

[size=15pt]The Rewards and Benefits of Reading Surah Yaseen[/size]

It is commonly known that Surah Yaseen is the “heart” of the Quran. Why is it known as the heart of the Quran? In our bodies, the heart is considered to be the most important organ. It supplies the entire body with blood to keep us functioning. Without the heart, the body cannot live. It is to emphasize the great importance of Surah Yaseen that it is called the “heart” of the Quran.

Therefore, reading Surah Yaseen comes with many benefits which true believers must not miss out on. There are many ahadith which talk about the benefits of reading surah yaseen. In this hub, we shall take a look at several hadith which mention the benefits of reading surah yaseen.

The Benefits of Yasin, al Waqiah, and al Mulk....

1. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Surely everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Yasin. I would love that it be in the heart of every person of my people'[Bazzar]. (S.Muhammad Ali Sabuni, Tafsir-al-SabuniVol.2)

2. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Whoever recites Yasin once Allah will record the reward of reciting the Qur’an ten times.'[Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]

3. It has been reported by Aisha (radiAllahu anha)that the Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that there is a surah in the Qur’an that intercedes for its reciter and forgive its listener. Know! It is Surah Yasin. It is called ‘Mu’amma’ in the Torah. It was enquired, what is Mu’amma? The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘it embraces the person with the goodness of this world and removes the dismay of the Hereafter’[Hashiya of Tafsir Jalalalayn , pg 368].

4. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Yasin in the night seeking Allah’s pleasure, Allah would forgive him'[Ibn Hibban, Darimi 3283/A, Abu Yala, Tabarani, Baihaqi & Ibn Mardawaih]

5. Imam Tibi explained in his commentary on Mishkat al-Masabih that Surat Ya Sin was called ‘the Heart of the Qur ‘an ‘ because of what it contains of overwhelming proofs, decisive signs, subtle spiritual meanings, eloquent admonition, and stern warnings.

^ Christians and modern Christians have deviated from the teachings of Jesus.

That's the problem, sir.

gatiano:

the 3000 troops sent are meant to force the vaccination. The truth is already out there about ebola been manufactured, however the vaccines must be enforced. the northern nigerians have been crippled by western sponsored boko haram, if anybody still think this a fabrication or lie, who is buying isis oil? how can the US and the saudis just agree to slash the oil prize in half in just a few days? they are stealing syria's and iragis oil and isis is selling for under 20$ per barrel. that will definitely cripple russia their white brother, who says still that isis is not controlled or created by the west? boko haram is the handwriting of the cia, m16, mossad, all the western embassies in nigeria.

GenBuhari:

Terrorism has started.
Ebola vaccine when it come will depopulate us, not only from killing us directly, but would make those who survive it infertile. Those who have ears let them hear! Boko Haram is CIA sponsored and is aimed at distablising Nigeria to the extent of widespread sectarian unrest which would NATO /UN the excuse to come in and break up Nigeria. Those who cannot see the white man as your enemy you are doomed! A word is enough for the wise.

These 2 guys make sense. Pretty much what i told folks a while back but seems many aren't interested. They called it conspiracy theory while others keep blaming Islam. There are too many dummies in the world today. They have no insight, at all.

^ Only time will tell. Things can only get worse not better. I like to not say anything until event actually unfolds. There is a creeping alliance systematically emerging within christian group in Nigeria and Jewish state. I hold on to my thought base on article i read in early 2008 written by a Jew. Most of the thing said in the article already happened. Whether this symbol is endorsing zionism or not, whether it's for the so called security features or not. Only time will tell. I will return here and tell you say "I told you so".

Verily ! Allah will never change the condition of the people until they change it themselves (with state of Goodness).

^ This is what African Americans need. As far as I can tell, all struggles, sufferings of late civil right leaders like Malik Shabaz and Dr. King are lost. I do not see much of their struggles reflect on current generation of Black Americans. Yet, they celebrate Dr. King annually. They also celebrate "Black History Month". None of these things reflect on average Black Americans.

Grand Jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson, who shot dead unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown on August in Ferguson. Former New York City Mayor, Giuliani said,

“The danger to a black child in America is not a white police officer, The danger is another black. Ninety-three percent of the time they are going to be killed by another black.”

As truthful as his statement can be, i find it difficult to support his view for personal reason. I really dont need to say much. Many us know how those people behave. That is why they really need to fix themselves. But chances of that happening is 0.01%. Not much love for one another. Only in terms of crisis like this they seem to reconcile. However, between August and today about at least 4 African Americans have been shot dead for no apparent reason by White cops. Another one just happened last week.

As always, prez just want them to accept Jury's decision and keep calm. It's only a matter of time before similar incident occur. But honestly,....

"Verily ! Allah will never change the condition of the people until they change it themselves (with state of Goodness)."

Really? How about I am busy and can't visit every thread regularly especially the ones you want me to comment on? Besides, I have more than enough posts on this thread.

So, your post is hilarious.

Because you kept dissecting every attempt to convince you a particular situation is jinn possession. You always tried to downplay it to mean it could be just medical problems especially your discussions with tbaba12334. I had no choice but to conclude that you scared.

And you also said you have "extraordinary experience" about Jinn. So im thinking, maybe Jinn appeared to you before and warned not to talk about them. You sound paranoid

This is what i was trying to explain earlier in my post when i joined this thread. That everything is not exactly documented head to toe. Rather Kitab are meant to guide us as muslims. One has to be practical to feel it like ummitoagirl is about embarking . And whatever one gets from there is his(hers). In other word, Tassawuf

[quote author=ummitoagirl post=28294110]

How many times would you recommend for one to repeat the above?

When you said above you mean the entire dua process?. Preferably night time as many times as convenient for you. But if you talking about stage 2, those are many dua taken from hadith and I would normally do as much as i want from them. You may choose to select 3, 4 or 5 of them to recite. Up to you.

and what may happen after the prayers? signs or dream etc. YES, noticed you added Ya Wahab etc.. Noted sha

Generally, your prayer is private and I think it should remain private btw you and Allah, not here. Be patient while you make dua. You should just tell us here good news if you want. I do not know your intention for this dua and i dont want to know. It's btw you and your Lord. I added some but you can always select. Stage 2 is like "clearing the way".

Abeg, reply my email.

Na'am, I did.

I furthermore started suratul Jumuah, mulk and Yasin every night. Pray to get a break through and clearance soon!.

Masha'llah, Amin.

Indeed, Allah has said we wont atest to faith without being tested...And, off course, The biggest hope "With every hardship comes ease".

Haq

stage 2. Just compare it to what you have with you already. I am adding more as I remember. Stage 2 are usually obtained from hadith but you dont have to do everything in stage 2. The most important ones are the foremost initially typed. Other stages, nothing added. Just highlighted. Stages 3&4 are the "theme & body"

Jamo90:
you just added some new duas to the former ones. What happened?

I am reading through this thread and i can sense maclatunji trying hard to avoid jinnland dot com discussion from getting deep in his head. He's so skeptical and nervous. The best way i can describe his attitude here. He doesnt want "Jinn-Claud" come calling at midnight "macla macla macla!!! i heard you talked about me on nl.com. Here i am. neither tbaba nor jarus will help u"

Okay now. Enojoy and let's hear what you think of it, sir.

Have you ever been to wall street? Do you know how many psychics, fortune tellers and palm readers have offices in wall street??

I can tell you , a lot!!

Do you know how much those buildings cost to rent?
Very substantial amounts...
How do you think those psychics and palm readers are able to rent those places?
There have good patronage from the big 'intellectuals' at wall street...

How many buildings in wall street have a 13th floor?? ... why do you think they avoid a 13th floor? 13 stands for bad luck , they say... even though the so called 14th floor is just the 13th floor. These are intellectuals as well.

That is all 'spiritual mumbo-jumbo' by the intellectuals of the most powerful country in the world..

Now you can choose not to believe in this stuff, but do not come here with the 'it is an african thing' mentality.

This is nice summary for those fools. They think it's African thing.

tbaba1234:
Another personal experience:

This happened to my cousin.

She used to stay with us when we were all really young. At night, she gets into these weird conversations (about being some kind of queen or something, really weird stuff) when everyone is supposed to be sleeping. We all slept in the same room... My 3 siblings, my self and my cousin... I was between 9 and 14 years old (don't remember the exact year).. my cousin was much older than us.

One night, the conversation got heated and there was talk of killing my cousin, We all ran, turned on the lights, tried waking her up but she was not waking up. I asked my brother to recite the last three chapters of the Quran on her (That was about all we knew) and make dua, we ran to tell the parents. They thought we were overreacting.

After reciting and doing all we could, we went to sleep. I was relieved to see my cousin awake the next morning. Later, she told us of a dream, she had that night of a figure in white holding a sword coming to rescue her. She said she thought it was an angel.

I do not think she had those encounters again, at least not in our house. Funny enough, it wasn't so scary when we were kids but thinking of it now, just gives me the chills.

SubhanAllah

humm, was she cured through those places she went or her problems voluntarily go away?

spyder880:
I have seen the good works and really, Gbadesky knows his stuff when it comes to painting. I will like to use the German floor design soon. For the interlocking stones, its just the relative beauty of the individual stones that is the major attraction. Not only do you have variety in shapes and sizes with colours, but when combined, they create a visual attraction, and it could be arranged to produce a pattern in form of lines, letters or shapes. But I know they also have disadvantages.

One of the major disadvantages is the one you mentioned, change in colours, this might happen because of a number of reasons, especially the way they were made and the use. Another disadvantage is the possibility of weed growing in between the stones, but recent technology is also tackling this, I will show more pictures when we start laying these stones in this site.

But interlocking stones could be painted, too using paint quality like mufutau55, right?

And when you said 'recent technology is also tackling this,', do you mean black plastic spread out on the ground you used sometime ago for a client?.

@mufutau55, your house looks pretty neat . You don shop money from M. Bloomberg finish.

Another horrible act is Christians denying God-given rights of man-> polygamy. Christians portray marrying more than one wife babaric and unlawful while themselves either married more than one wife and plenty concubines out there.

Responding to Mr. Odule's comment on many children with different women, please let's get something straight. This is NOT about "skeleton in cupboards". This is about rights of man ordained by God Almighty. Islam make practical sense when it legislates for men to marry more than one woman. Conditions to marry one woman only lie on financial capability and justice among them. This is Crystal clear.

Since Mr. Odule is a christian man and his Bible tells him "me and my wife till death do us apart", he must follow that. This is not about mocking Christianity, rather fact must be presented.

Also, I have to be objective to Mr. Odule's statement that 'he who have not sinned should throw stone'. Having more than one wife and many children are gifts from Allah Almighty. It's not sin. It's only sinful if he only impregnated and have children with those women without legal contract outlined in his religion i:e marriage. Hence, he committed adultery.

Will Christians now open your eyes and see clearly that something is wrong with "one man and woman" is legal and polygamy is unlawful according to them?. Many reports recently by Naijagists about christian men coming out frustrated with not being sexually satisfied with one partner, including Juju music legend, Sunni Ade.

You now need to question yourself who wrote the statement in the Bible "one man and woman". This is against nature of man. Do you know better than God?. It seems to me that Oyinbo put that statement in the Bible NOT Jesus peace be upon him).

Finally, thank you NaijaGists for reporting stuff like this. I would have never thought Odule, King Sunni Ade,Jibola Dabo etc who are Christians have more than one wife, concubines or even other Monikers. STOP DECEIVING YOURSELVES
