The late American President Nixon had an advisor named Robert Crane.
He held a doctorate in public law.
He then earned a doctorate in international law.
Later, he became the President of the Harvard International Law Society.
He served as President Nixon's Foreign Policy Advisor and as the Deputy Director of the U.S. National Security Council.
He is considered one of America's leading political experts.
He was also the founder of the "Center for Civilization and Renewal" in the United States.
He was fluent in six living languages.
One day, President Nixon wanted to read about Islam, so he ordered the U.S. Intelligence to prepare a research paper on the subject. They carried out his orders, but the research they compiled was quite lengthy.

He then asked his advisor, Robert Crane, to read the research and present a summary.

Robert read the research and eventually began attending Islamic seminars and lectures to understand the subject more deeply.
Within just a few days, the news of Robert Crane embracing Islam spread across the entire United States!
He changed his name to Farooq Abdul Haq.

Regarding his reason for accepting Islam, he says:
> "As a student of law, I found all the laws in Islam that I had ever studied. Even during my 3 years of education at Harvard University, I did not find the word 'justice' even once in their laws. However, I found this word repeatedly in Islam."
>
He embraced Islam in 1981 and chose the name Farooq after Hazrat Umar Al-Farooq (Radi Allahu Anhu), who was the "epitome of justice" after the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
He narrates:
"We were in a legal discussion, and a Jewish law professor was with us. He began speaking and started criticizing Islam and Muslims. To silence him, I asked: 'Do you know how large the inheritance law is in the American Constitution?'
He replied: Yes, it is more than eight volumes.'
I said: 'If I present the law of inheritance to you from the Holy Quran in just ten lines, will you accept that Islam is the true religion?'
He said: 'That is impossible.'
I presented the Quranic verses of inheritance to him. A few days later, he came to me and said: 'Human intellect cannot account for all kinship relationships with such comprehensiveness without omitting anyone, and then distribute the inheritance with such absolute justice that no one is wronged.' After that, the Jewish professor also became a Muslim!"
Dr. Robert Crane—that is, Farooq—is still alive at the age of 91.
Read this so you may know that Islam is the greatest law on Earth.
O Allah, grant us honor through Islam.
May Allah's peace and blessings be upon our master Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his family.

You're Addicted To Sins Because You Lack Commitment.


I've said this to myself more times than I'd like to admit. Idle time is where most of our struggles live.

Here's what's been helping me fill those gaps.

1️⃣ Memorizing Qur'an

Even one verse daily beats scrolling mindlessly for hours doing absolutely nothing productive.

2️⃣ Learning Tajweed Properly

Reciting correctly deepens connection. This one's still humbling me, honestly.

3️⃣ Reading Islamic Books

Pick up any beneficial book. Consistency here quietly builds real knowledge over time.

4️⃣ Journaling Daily Reflections

Write what you're grateful for or struggling with. It clears your head fast.

5️⃣ Learning A New Skill

Writing, design, sales, AI, pick one and commit weekly, not just once randomly.

6️⃣ Exercising Regularly

A strong body supports a focused mind. Even 15 minutes daily counts genuinely.

7️⃣ Volunteering Locally

Helping others shifts your focus outward. It's humbling every single time honestly.

8️⃣ Building A Business Idea

Turn your skill into something real. Small steps daily add up eventually.

9️⃣ Deepening Family Relationships

Call your parents. Check on siblings. These bonds matter more than we admit.

🔟 Attending Islamic Classes

Structured learning keeps you accountable. I still attend some myself, honestly.

1️⃣1️⃣ Practicing Istighfar Daily

Few minutes of sincere istighfar softens hearts more than we realize sometimes.

1️⃣2️⃣ Learning To Cook

A practical skill that saves money and builds discipline in daily routine.

1️⃣3️⃣ Reading Seerah Books

Learning the Prophet's (ﷺ) life gives real, practical guidance for daily struggles.

1️⃣4️⃣ Mentoring Someone Younger

Guiding someone else keeps you accountable too. You can't teach what you're not living yourself.

1️⃣5️⃣ Building An Emergency Fund

Saving small amounts monthly builds discipline and reduces financial anxiety significantly over time.

1️⃣6️⃣ Learning Public Speaking

Confidence in speaking opens doors, da'wah, business, and everyday life generally.

1️⃣7️⃣ Practicing Gratitude Daily

Thank Allah for three specific things every morning before checking your phone.

1️⃣8️⃣ Improving Sleep Habits

Sleeping early affects everything, mood, focus, and worship. Still working on this myself.

1️⃣9️⃣ Learning Personal Finance

Understanding money management prevents future struggles most people learn painfully, the hard way.

2️⃣0️⃣ Deepening Daily Dua

Talk to Allah like a friend. This one changed things for me quietly.

Commitment isn't about perfection, it's about filling your time with things that actually matter, in sha Allah.

**You Don't Need Connection Or Godfather To Start Making Money Online.**

You Need These: 👇

Everyone's waiting for the "right people" or connections before starting.

Truth is, the internet leveled that playing field completely.

Here's what actually matters instead.

1️⃣ A Skill Worth Paying For

Writing, design, sales, AI, pick one and go deep. Skills open doors connections used to control, no godfather required.

2️⃣ Consistency Over Time

Showing up daily, even when results feel slow, builds momentum connections can't replace. Most people quit right before things click.

3️⃣ A Simple Online Presence

A page, a portfolio, a profile showing your work. People trust what they can see, not who you claim to know.

4️⃣ Willingness To Start Small

Free or discounted work early builds proof and testimonials. Big opportunities rarely come first, small wins always come before them.

5️⃣ Genuine Value For Others

Solve real problems for real people. Value speaks louder than connections ever will in any online space you enter.

6️⃣ Patience With The Process

Growth online rarely happens overnight. Give your effort real time before comparing yourself to people further ahead of you.

7️⃣ Trust In Allah's Plan

Rizq isn't tied to who you know. Work hard, stay sincere, and trust Allah opens doors no connection ever could.

You don't need a godfather.

You need skill, consistency, and sincerity, everything else follows, in sha Allah.

Abu Zayd

Being rich in Islam isn't just about having plenty. It's about barakah, wealth that satisfies, grows quietly, and stays blessed.

Honestly, this one still humbles me.
A little with barakah outlasts a lot without it.

1️⃣ Trade Honestly

The Prophet (ﷺ) traded with honesty and fairness. Truthful dealings invite trust, repeat customers, and lasting blessing in business.

2️⃣ Give Charity Consistently

Sadaqah doesn't reduce wealth, it multiplies it. Small, consistent giving invites barakah that grows quietly over time.

3️⃣ Start The Day Early

The Prophet (ﷺ) made dua for barakah in early mornings. Rising early sets a productive, blessed tone for wealth.

4️⃣ Maintain Family Ties

Keeping family bonds strong was directly linked to increased provision. This one hits different once you actually try it, doors open in ways you don't expect.

5️⃣ Avoid Riba Completely

Interest based dealings strip blessing from wealth. Clean, halal income carries barakah that interest based money never holds.

6️⃣ Seek Forgiveness Often

Istighfar was linked to increased provision and unexpected relief. Sincere forgiveness seeking quietly removes barriers blocking your rizq.

7️⃣ Be Content And Grateful

Barakah isn't about having more, it's feeling enough with what Allah has already given you.

Fast wealth without barakah fades quickly. Blessed wealth, even small, lasts and multiplies, in sha Allah.

Hi there

Assallamu alaikum warahmatullah

Jottings at the online session with Shaykh Abu Nāsir today Sunday, 23rd August, 2026.

There are four levels to forgiving people. Many of the people are between level 1 and 2. And the discussion today will be on level 3 and 4.

We will come back to Level 1 which is Haram.

Level No. 2 is RETALIATION which is allowed. And that's when you treat the person who hurt you with the like of what he treated you.

Allah said, "The recompense for an evil is an evil like thereof..." (Sūrah Ash-Shūrah vs 40)

He also said in Al-Maidah. "And We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal... (Al-Maidah 5:45)

Level 3 is FORGIVING / PARDONING - Ghufran/Maghfira/'Afwu.

That is when you have the capability to take your right; you are able to give the same kind of hurt back, but you hold back the retaliation. This is the level of Forgiveness.

You are not treating the person with what he has caused you. You didn't treat him badly as he has treated you, even when you are able to.

Allah said; "But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation" (Al-Maidah 5:45).

The 4th level is as-Safhu. It is when you forgive completely and consider it as if it never happened before.

Safh in Arabic means a page, so it is as if you opened another page for the person.

At this level, you don't feel any pain about the person. You forgive completely. And that's what happened between Abubakar and Mistah.

Allah said "Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allâh should forgive you? And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (An-Nur 24:22)

If you can't give al-'Afw, then you can't come to this level of as-Safhu.

I have tried to find one single word for as-Safhu but I couldn't find. It's not Pardon, it's not Forgiveness, those are in level 3. It's beyond forgiveness.

As-Safhu is when you were treated badly but you are paying back with goodness.

Allah said: "The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allâh orders the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.

But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient - and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world". (Sūrah Fussilat 41:33-35)

Level No.1 is Haram. It is those who oppress and hurt the people.

Allah said: "The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and rebel in the earth without justification; for such there will be a painful torment." (Ash-Shūrah 42:42)

The bulk of the people are in level 1 and 2. The lesson for us is to move from the first two levels to the third and fourth.

----
As-Safhu is the level of freedom and ease. May Allah make it easy for us.

Allah said: "And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious). Those who spend (in Allâh’s Cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good-doers). (Surah Al-Imran 3:133-134)

(Explaining the verse)
Allah said we should seek forgiveness, and al-Jannah.

The people who Allah told to chase forgiveness and Jannah are those who spend in times of profuse and in time of adversity.

Let us note this, most times we only want to give when we are in luxury. We should give even in difficulty too.

And those who when they are enraged they repress anger. (An illustration) Get a water into a cup till it is full such that it can pour away, then you carried the cup trying to hold it not to pour away. That's the way of those who are enraged and they tried to hold the anger.

Someone who have been deprived. Someone who have been deeply hurt. Someone who have been oppressed. Yet, they do not bring anger and rage into the way they relate with the person who hurt them. This is big Ikhwah.

Allah said all of us should raise towards being like that. Those who hold back pain without returning it.

The reward for that your holding back anger is Al-Jannah. Not directing rage to the one who annoyed you; he caused you discomfort yet you hold it back because you want Allah to also pardon you. You want Allah to also protect you.

The Prophet told us, if you cover up for a Muslim Allah will cover you. So, when you hold back, you are looking forward to Allah's pardon and Jannah. Even though you have the right to retaliate as we've said in level 2.

Allah said this is the level of the Muhsinun. This verse shows that there are three gains for attaining as-Safhu.
.1. They get forgiveness from their Lord.
.2. They get al-Jannah for holding back.
.3. The third is that Allah loves them.

Do you wnat Allah to love you? Then let go, forgive!

If people ask you 'why are you not retaliating?' Your conscience will tell you 'I seek Allah's forgiveness, I seek Al-Jannah, I seek Allâh's love by forgiving those who hurt me.

------
Some people can be thinking why are we having this kind of a discussion.

Many homes have been broken. In some homes, the wife can't say whether she's still a wife or not, some husband too are like that, and that's because 'afw (forgiveness) is not between them.

How many are friends that have become enemies. Two people who were friends, at a time one of them said he can give his life to the other friend to hold for him, out of trust. Today they are enemies.

What you stand to gain when you show 'afw; forgiveness is bigger than what is preventing you from forgiving.

You stand to gain huge forgiveness from Allah, Allah will grant you Al-Jannah, and Allah will love you.

Are each of these things not bigger than the pediments that prevent you from forgiving?

Relationship have broken, friendships have shred because there's no 'afw.

Masjid have broken just because there's no 'afw. A masjid was closed for years because two people decided not to show 'afw.

Without afw, society will be hard.

And sometimes we have to hold to level 2 so that justice can be served.

----

During the time of the Prophet, some companions couldn't journey with the prophet because of their wives disapproval. So when those who went with the Prophet came back and those that didn't go with them realized how much those that went have gained in terms of knowledge and others, they became sad and angry with their wives who had denied them the opportunity to journey with the Prophet.

So, sometimes your spouse can be fitna to you. Allah generalized it so it can be the wife to the husband, and it can be the husband to the wife. How many husbands that denied their wife of using the hijab or attending Madrasah.

Allah said "O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies for you (who may stop you from the obedience of Allâh); therefore beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then verily Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah at-Taghabun 14)

If you overlook for your husband, if you overlook for your wife, the family will be good, the community will be good.

Treat your spouse as if they never offended you.

Ikhwah, this is difficult.

Your spouse hurt you; it was painful, very hurtful. Then you make al-'afw, you forgive and not seek retaliation.

Then you make as-Safhu, you open a new page as if they never offended you. Once you open a new page, you pardon/forgive and behave as if nothing happened. This is beyond al-'afw.

When people tell you 'Forgive and forget', they are telling you make as-Safhu. It's not an easy thing.

It means we have to train ourselves upon patience and forbearance.

It is this level that the psychologists said when you do it, it lower stress, and eases anxiety.

If you have it in your mind, 'how will I revenge?', you will be in anxiety and not have rest of mind.

If you have al-'afw and as-Safhu, anxiety will go.

The last issue I would have love to mention (but the time has gone) is the story of A'aisha when she was maligned with indecency.

Allah mentioned the story of Abubakar and Mistah. We can go back to the verses in Surah Nur from verse 11.

Ikhwah, attaining high rank before Allah requires that you are a person of al-'afw and as-Safhu. We can go back to the verses.

🔶After news of his conversion to Islam spread, Christians expressed their "deep sorrow."

The renowned American minister, Hilarion Hagee, says:

I had no choice but to say, "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

I had a promising career as a priest, and I was well-liked and well-educated, but my inner convictions changed. "One cannot simply be a priest and a monk in public, and a Muslim in private."

The Quran states that we worship God alone and submit to Him from before we are born.

Islam is submission to the will of the Creator of Heaven.

This is the path of Christ, the path of Moses, and the path of Abraham (peace be upon them).

And it is the path of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

In Islam: Submission is not to your desires.

Nor to the desires of any human being, nor of saints, nor of angels.

Islam is submission to the One God.

His name before Islam was Hilarion Hagee.
His name after Islam is Saeed Abdul Latif.

O God, keep him steadfast on the truth, increase his knowledge, and make him a source of benefit. 🤲

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once (addressed the Sahaabah [radhiyallahu ‘anhum] and) said, “Who will take these words (of advice) from me and practise upon them, or teach them to one who will practise upon them?” Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) says, “I replied, ‘I will, O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)!’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then held my hand and counted five (qualities). He said,

– ‘Safeguard yourself from all haraam, you will be the greatest worshipper among the people.

– Be pleased (and content) with that (sustenance and wealth) which Allah Ta‘ala has allotted for you, you will be the wealthiest of people.

– Show your neighbour kindness, you will be a (perfect) believer.

– Love for people that which you love for yourself, you will be a (perfect) Muslim.

– Do not laugh abundantly, for abundant laughter causes the death of the (spiritual) heart.’”

(Sunan Tirmizi #2305)

In the blessed hadeeth mentioned above, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) encouraged the Ummah to inculcate five special qualities into their lives.

The first quality is the quality of abstaining from all haraam, evil and sin. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that the one who refrains from sins will be counted from among the greatest worshippers. The reason is that Allah Ta‘ala has commanded one to fulfil the commands of sharee‘ah and refrain from the prohibitions of sharee‘ah. Hence, one will become sinful through either not fulfilling the obligations of sharee‘ah, or through committing the prohibited actions.

Therefore, the person who fulfils the commands of Allah Ta‘ala (e.g. he fulfils the rights of Allah Ta‘ala such as salaah, fasting, etc. and he fulfils the rights of the creation e.g. the rights of parents, children, wives, etc.) and he also refrains from sins (e.g. he protects his eyes and other limbs from sins, refrains from haraam business dealings and relationships, etc.) – then such a person will be regarded among the greatest worshippers in the sight of Allah Ta‘ala on account of him upholding the commands of Allah Ta‘ala in his life at all times.

The second quality is that of contentment. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that the one who inculcates contentment will be the wealthiest of people. In another hadeeth, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “ *Being wealthy is not attained through possessing abundant goods. Rather, being wealthy is (acquiring) the wealth of the heart (i.e. contentment).* ” (Saheeh Bukhaari #6446)

In the eyes of the world, a poor person is a person who does not possess enough wealth, while a wealthy person is one who possesses enough wealth. Accordingly, if a person possesses millions, far in excess of his actual needs, yet he feels that it is never enough for him due to which he continues to hanker after the world, then he will be regarded as ‘poor’, as he lacks the true wealth of contentment. On the contrary, if a person possess little wealth, but he is content with what Allah Ta‘ala has given him, then he will be regarded as ‘wealthy’, as his heart is pleased with the decree of Allah Ta‘ala at all times.

Hence, Sayyiduna Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) once advised his son saying, “ *O my beloved son! When you seek wealth, then seek it with contentment, for the one who does not have contentment – no amount of money will be enough for him.”* (Taareekh Ibni ‘Asaakir vol. 20, pg. 363)

The third and fourth qualities – to treat the neighbour with kindness and to love for others that which we love for ourselves – both revolve around huqooqul ‘ibaad (fulfilling the rights of the creation), as well as having a clean heart for each and every person.

As for the final quality – not laughing excessively – then Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that this leads to the death of the spiritual heart. In other words, when one becomes engaged in entertainment, vain pursuits, laughing and joking with friends in trying to amuse oneself, then one becomes unmindful of Allah Ta‘ala, the Aakhirah and the obligations of Deen, and this ultimately leads to the heart becoming hard. Once the heart becomes hard and begins to spiritually die, then one no longer finds any motivation, drive or enthusiasm for good deeds, ‘ibaadah, righteousness and piety.

Hence, we should avoid getting involved in vain pursuits of amusement and entertainment, and turn our focus towards Allah Ta‘ala and the Aakhirah. In this regard, we should set aside a few moments daily to ponder over death and the stages of the Hereafter which are to come.

The five special qualities mentioned by Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in this hadeeth are like five priceless pearls.

May Allah Ta‘ala bless us to inculcate these important qualities into our lives, aameen.

Some habits slip in quietly, seeming normal, while Islam has clearly marked them as haram.

Here are 9 worth being mindful of.

1️⃣ Wearing Tight Or See Through Clothing

Clothing that reveals body shape defeats the purpose of hijab, even when technically covered.

2️⃣ Mixing Freely With Non Mahram Men

Casual mixing without genuine need opens doors Islam clearly advises women to guard against.

3️⃣ Wearing Perfume Outside The Home

The Prophet (Salallahu alayhis wa salam) warned against fragrance that attracts attention from strange men outside.

4️⃣ Imitating Men In Dress Or Manner

Deliberately imitating male appearance or behavior was clearly discouraged in authentic hadith.

5️⃣ Removing Hijab In Front Of Non Mahrams

Uncovering hair or body in front of men outside close family relations is haram.

6️⃣ Raising Voice Seductively In Public

Speaking in a soft, attention drawing tone to strange men was discouraged for protection.

7️⃣ Traveling Without A Mahram

Traveling long distances alone without a mahram was clearly restricted for safety and modesty.

8️⃣ Disobeying A Husband In Halal Matters

Refusing reasonable, halal requests from a husband without valid reason carries real weight in Islam.

9️⃣ Neglecting Prayer During Non Menstrual Days

Skipping salah outside valid exemptions remains haram regardless of busy schedules or distractions.

None of this restricts a woman's worth. It protects her dignity the way Islam always intended, in sha Allah.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

This is for everyone who is suffering injustice, accusations and going through hardship. You must read Surah Yusuf and reflect upon this Surah. It is comforting to the heart. There are many lessons to derive. If you are familiar with this Surah you will understand what I’m reflecting upon.

Yusuf went through hardship because of his brothers but he was honoured because of his servitude and obedience to Allah.

No one can do to you worse than what was done to Yusuf. His brothers, his own brothers plotted against him. No one can do to you worse than what Yusuf’s brothers did to him until one of them said “kill him”, going to that extreme. KILL. But they ended up doing something less but still not far from that when they initially planned. They threw him into the well. But ALLAH planned for Yusuf.

Victory was for Yusuf, not his brothers.

Honour was for Yusuf, not his brothers.

Anyone who is dealing with hardship must read Surah Yusuf.

Anyone who is going through hardship due to other’s actions must understand that their test is to live through that hardship with worship and complaining only to Allah.

Anyone who is going through hardship brought upon them by others actions must spend that time in worship during that hardship and trying to attain closeness to Allah and turning that hardship into good deeds in the hereafter.

Yusuf did not forget what his brothers did to him. No he didn’t. He remembered.

He whispered to himself how Allah knew better the truth of what they were saying against the truth of their actions.

Allah made him witness them saying worse about himself when they said “if he stole, then HIS BROTHER (in the past) also stole”. Did they say what THEY did to HIM?

They say these words about Yusuf while THEY oppressed him to a great extent when they all agreed and threw him into a well.

The magnitude of both these actions are very far from each other maybe they are two galaxies apart.

Their actions caused a young boy to be lost in an unknown world and live among unknown people, be sold for cheap! But they said “he stole”

Allah made them humbled against their will and in neediness while He made Yusuf high and noble — He established him in the land, He protected him, He honoured him, He elevated him, He raised him in ranks.

This is how you are when you are with Allah in your high times and in your low times. He was appointed a king and remained a humble servant of Allah. He still forgave his brothers for the sake of Allah.

In all of this he was still respectful to his parents. Two people you shouldn’t hold any grudges with is parents. Let go and realise life is not as easy as black and white. As for others, it is none of your concern just as it was none of Yusuf’s concern. You be obedient in your dealing with them. Be obedient to Allah and you will find yourself honoured and even if you’re (against your will) hiding in a cave, thrown in a well, or anything other than that, Allah will protect you and honour you right in front of those who did not honour you if you are obedient to Allah.

He will raise you up.

And how would I have known this story except from the Quran? Read the Quran. This is the peace, the happiness, the promise and the removal of problems and worries that people talk about here when they tell you “read the Quran”. They cannot put it to words because these reflections cannot be documented. These reflections are sometimes momentary flashes. I am writing this and I still feel I have not captured the weight and the beauty of what I discovered.

I tried and I hope you understand that this is only a drop in the ocean of the many ways that the Quran heals you and soothes your soul and your heart. It’s not a remedy, it is THE remedy.

The Quran. My brothers and sisters. The Quran.

Listen, read, recite, recite beautifully, recite gently, recite audibly, study, learn, apply. This is the good life.

*BBNAIJA*
➖ ➖ ➖
*Entertainment To Spread Fitnah
➖ ➖ ➖

A lot of us are familiar with the Reality TV show, Big Brother Naija. There's a craze whenever it's aired. It trends more than anything on social media, such that even those who do not watch the show come to know all that happens in it. People follow it devotedly as though it is of immense benefit to them.

For those who do not know, BBnaija is a show where all the contestants (both male and female) live together in an isolated house as "housemates" for a period, competing for a sum of money. In the said house, there is zero privacy, as there are cameras and microphones all over, 24/7.

In their desperate quest to win the ultimate prize, the housemates forget that virtues such as morality, dignity, and self-respect exist. With eyes fixed on the prize, they throw caution to the wind and display all kinds of disgusting and immoral habits with reckless abandon.

Obscene images and actions, vulgar words and unhealthy habits are exhibited to the world on full display in a bid to "entertain."

Ask yourself what exactly the motive is behind producing such a show. What benefit can come from providing entertainment to the youth through sinful activities?

Unfortunately, a lot of the youth, even among the Muslims find pleasure in this devilish and deviant show. They spend their time and money to watch the show and even idolize the participants and defend their words and actions, while forgetting (or maybe ignoring) the fact that they will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection.

We must abstain from anything that will corrupt our minds and destroy our values.

Allāh (ﷻ) says:

*إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةُ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ*

*“Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allaah knows and you do not know.”*
(An-Nur 24:19)

Exposure to shows like BBnaija does nothing but erode one's morals and consume one's modesty little by little until there's nothing left. It makes us susceptible to performing the devilish acts displayed, and it amounts to wasting time, a commodity about which we will give account on the Day of Judgment.

Nigeria is not an Islamic state. So, it's no surprise that requests calling for the end of the show have been ignored. It becomes our responsibility as individuals and more so, believers, to desist from watching the show or it's likes and from supporting it in any way.

The believer must act in defense of what is right and oppose what is wrong.

The Prophet ﷺ said: *_“Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; and if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by feeling that it is wrong] – and that is the weakest of faith.”_*
(Muslim, 49)

Parents also have a part to play in this. You must put in effort to monitor your children and take appropriate and firm action when necessary.

May Allāh (ﷻ) save us from a fitnah whose consequences consume both the upright and the immoral in the society.

آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ

*Sahih Institute*

We often blame the economy or the market.

But sometimes it's our own habits quietly closing doors that Allah wanted to open.

Here are 7 to watch:

1️⃣ Delaying Salah

Prayer isn't just worship, it's connection to the One who provides. Delaying it repeatedly weakens that connection, and with it, the barakah attached to your provision.

2️⃣ Excessive Complaining

Constantly complaining about lack shows ingratitude for what you already have. Allah increases those who are grateful, not those who complain about every little thing daily.

3️⃣ Neglecting Sadaqah

Many hold back from giving, fearing lack. But sadaqah doesn't decrease wealth, it multiplies it. Withholding it often blocks the very increase you're praying for.

4️⃣ Laziness Disguised As Tawakkul

Trusting Allah doesn't mean sitting idle. The Sahabah worked hard while trusting Allah's plan. Laziness dressed up as faith is still laziness, and it blocks provision.

5️⃣ Cutting Family Ties

The Prophet (ﷺ) said maintaining family ties increases provision and lifespan. Cutting off relatives, holding grudges, or avoiding family without reason closes a door Allah opens through them.

6️⃣ Sinning In Secret
Sin doesn't stay hidden from its consequences. What you do in secret often shows up as blocked provision, delayed success, or doors that mysteriously stay closed.

7️⃣ Neglecting Istighfar

The Prophet (ﷺ) sought forgiveness constantly and linked it to increased provision. A few seconds of sincere istighfar daily can soften hearts and open doors you didn't expect.

Rizq isn't only about hustle. Sometimes it's about removing what's silently blocking it, in sha Allah.

Abu Zayd
The Fajr Writer ✍️

1️⃣ The Prophet (ﷺ) Was A Trader

Before revelation, the Prophet (ﷺ) traded successfully in Makkah and Syria. Wealth earned honestly was part of his life, not something he avoided.

2️⃣ Sahabah Were Wealthy Merchants

Abu Bakr (RA), Uthman(RA), and Abdur Rahman ibn Awf (RA) were rich businessmen. Their wealth funded Islam's spread. Poverty was never their goal or their pride.

3️⃣ Zakat Requires You To Have Money

You can't pay zakat with nothing. Allah designed a system where believers earn, grow wealth, then purify and circulate it to help others.

4️⃣ Trade Is Explicitly Halal

The Qur'an says Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury. Buying, selling, and profiting honestly is blessed, not something to feel guilty about.

5️⃣ Dua For Provision Is Encouraged

The Prophet (ﷺ) regularly asked Allah for halal provision and barakah in wealth. If seeking rizq was shameful, he wouldn't have modeled asking for it.

6️⃣ Wealth Enables Bigger Worship

Hajj, sadaqah, supporting family, building masjids, all need money. Staying broke limits how much good you can actually do for others.

7️⃣ Poverty Isn't Piety

Being broke doesn't make you more righteous. Sincerity, gratitude, and honest effort matter more. Islam values a grateful rich believer over a complaining poor one.

Chase halal wealth with the same seriousness you chase your salah. Both are acts of worship, in sha Allah.

Abu Zayd
The Fajr Writer ✍️


So you have no excuse to be broke as a Muslim my dear brothers and sisters, therefore hustle big and Insha Allah you'll succeed.

Qur'an 46:3

We did not create the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth and a specified term. But those who disbelieve, from that of which they are warned, are turning away.

3 key points Allah is teaching us here:

1. *This life has an expiry date*
for a specified term
Nothing here is permanent. The wealth, fame, struggles and this earth themselves all have an end. Only Allah is _Al-Baqi_ The Everlasting.

1. *It was all created "in truth"*
except in truth
Allah didn't create this randomly or as a joke. There's purpose: test, worship, justice. Every action is recorded and will be weighed.

1. *The warning*
those who disbelieve are turning away
The biggest loss is when someone knows this dunya is temporary, yet still makes it their top priority. They turn away from the reminder on purpose.

*The takeaway for us:*
This verse is like Allah tapping our shoulder and saying:
Use this limited time wisely. Don't get so busy building a house on rented land that you forget your permanent home.

Put Allah first, do good, and treat this life as a bridge not a destination.

May Allah make us among those who remember and don't turn away

Some women are qualified, and others are not.

Being a wife is kind of like a job.

It's like being a doctor or an engineer or a teacher.

These jobs are basically all roles with some type of requirement.

A job is a position that involves being responsible for certain things, doing certain tasks, completing certain milestones.

It involves, also, having a certain mindset. Learning to think a certain way.

Additionally, the job requires some kind of training prior to the start date. You have to be ready, to know certain things, to have learned certain critical knowledge so that you are adequately prepared for the tasks required of you on the job.

We completely understand this when it comes to careers in the modern world.

We know that in order to be a doctor, you first need to go to school for about 13 years, then apply for and get accepted into medical school, then complete four years of medical school, then graduate. Then in order to specialize in a specific field of medicine, you are required to do three or four or five years of residency, and potentially also complete a few years of a fellowship after that.

Then, after this long training and apprenticeship, you are qualified to be a doctor.

Same with being a lawyer, or a dentist, or an engineer, or a computer programmer.

You go through general school, then your specialized school for your specific field, then pass all the tests and complete the milestones, then graduate as a qualified candidate in that field.

Because we collectively take seriously the role of doctor, lawyer, or engineer, we fully accept the long training and the hard work demanded before you are qualified.

But for the job of wife?

No.

Because we collectively have de-valued and minimized the role of Wife, we don't fully accept the long training and the hard work demanded before you are qualified.

In fact, most modern people don't even really consider being a wife a job of any kind, or a role that has any inherent value or worth, so they laugh at the idea that it could even require any sort of training.

They don't think you can be "qualified" or "not qualified" to be a wife.

Because being a wife is nothing, really a non-job, it doesn't require any preparation.

We don't have to bother to learn anything. There's nothing to prepare for.

Nobody is unqualified.

You can be however you want to be and do and say whatever you want and know or not know anything, and still be 100% qualified to be a wife.

There's basically nothing to qualify for!

This is what many modern people think of marriage, and specifically of being a wife.

But our grandmothers and great-grandmothers knew better.

They actually prepared to become wives. They were raised by their mothers to be wives.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

ألا كلكم راع، وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته، فالأمير الذي على الناس راع، وهو مسئول عن رعيته، والرجل راع على أهل بيته، وهو مسئول عنهم، والمرأة راعية على بيت بعلها وولده، وهي مسئولة عنهم...

“Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the shepherd of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the shepherddess of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them..."

The women of old understood the job description and they strove to become qualified for the job.

So they learned valuable skills to aid them in their future role of Wife: how to cook, how to organize, how to clean, how to store and preserve food, how to run an efficient household, how to make a house a home, how to take care of a baby, how to raise children.

Even more importantly, they learned a particular *mindset* to prepare them for the role of Wife: how to be agreeable, how to be grateful, how to understand a man, how to be cooperative and loyal, how to de-escalate a tense situation, how to resolve conflict. How to know yourself and your husband, how to relate to another person, how to be part of a team and not be too individualistic or self-centered but without erasing yourself or being self-abandoning. How to grasp male and female human nature, and how to understand and work with the natural gender differences.

Emotional regulation and social intelligence.

Manners and etiquettes of being a wife and a lady of the home.

And many many other things.

This used to be part of feminine wisdom, gems that females used to guard carefully and pass down from one generation to the next. Knowledge that was taught and learned, from mother to daughter. The young observed and apprenticed with the elders.

Similarly, men knew they had to do certain things to qualify as good husbands. Boys learned from men.

In our current times, much of this knowledge has been erased.

Much of this wisdom has been lost.

Regaining it starts with the first step: the realization that marriage is an important institution, and that being a wife is an important job, not less in importance or prestige or value than the modern jobs we respect today like being a doctor or a lawyer.

May Allah grant us understanding and wisdom, ameen.

Although we cannot take any major sin lightly, zina is one of the serious major sins.

◼️ *ONE of the MOST SERIOUS sins in Islaam*.

In fact, Allaah mentions the sin of zina with *shirk* and *murder*!

And He *threatens* those who commit Zina with *double torment* and *severe humiliation*. 

▪️Allaah says: 

“And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor kill such person as Allaah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
*The torment will be doubled* to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace”
(al-Furqaan 25:68-69)

◼️ *SEVERE PUNISHMENT in the dunya*

The punishment for zina is very severe and extremely disgraceful.

If zina is proven against a person he is *STONED to DEATH* in front of the whole community if he or she was married.

And if he or she was single and never been married then he or she would be *flogged 100 lashes*.

▪️Allaah says:

“The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allaah, if you believe in Allaah and the Last Day.
And let a party of the believers witness their punishment”
[al-Noor 24:2]

▪️And the Prophet ﷺ said:

“It is not permissible to spill the blood of a Muslim except in three (instances): the married person who commits adultery, a life for a life, and the one who forsakes his religion and separates from the community.” (al-Bukhaari and Muslim)

▪️And the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Receive (teaching) from me, receive (teaching) from me.
Allaah has ordained a way for those (women). When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female, (they should receive) one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in the case of a married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death.”
(Muslim, al-Hudood, 3199).

▪️Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

“The married person who commits adultery is killed by throwing rocks at him/her.
The stoning should not be done with large rocks because it may kill the individual “too fast” causing the purpose of stoning to be missed out on.
The stoning should (also) not be small rocks because it may afflict suffering on the individual before he/she dies.
Rather, the rocks should be average in size and the Zaani (married individual who commits adultery) is pelted until they die, whether they be man or woman.

If one were to ask, “Why are they killed in this manner?

“Fulfilling the desire of intercourse is not felt specifically on one body part, but rather it is felt on the entire body. Therefore, just as the married Zaani’s body takes pleasure in this prohibited act, then it is befitting for the entire body to also feel the pain of this punishment.”

Astaghfirullaah!

◼️ *SCORCHING and SCREAMING in the Aakhirah!*

As for punishment in the Aakhirah, we know from an authentic hadeeth of the Prophet ﷺ: 

"We walked until we came to something that looked like an oven. Its top section was narrow and the inside was broad. From it sounds of screaming and noise was heard." 

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"We looked inside and we saw naked men and women. We also saw flames from beneath them.
When these flames scorched them, they screamed."
I asked Jibreel: "Who are these people?"
He replied, "These are the males and females who committed the grave act of Zina. This will be their punishment till the day of Qiyaamah." 
(al-Bukhaari)

◼️ *Allaah will NOT SPEAK to them!*

The Prophet ﷺ said: 

"*There are three to whom Allaah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor praise, nor look at*; theirs will be a *painful torment*: an old man who commits *Zina*, a king who lies, and a poor man who is arrogant." (Muslim).

May Allaah save us and our families from this evil sin.  

◼️ *FORBIDDEN for the believers!*

The sin of Zina is so bad that it is forbidden for a believer to marry a person who commits zina, whether man or woman.

▪️Allaah says: 

“The adulterer — fornicator marries not but an adulteress — fornicatress or a Mushrikah; and the adulteress –fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer — fornicater or a Mushrik [and that means that the man who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or a prostitute, then surely, he is either an adulterer — fornicator, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater).
And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer — fornicator, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of Islamic Monotheism)”
(al-Noor 24:3)

So we MUST take this sin very seriously and do everything we can to stay away from it.

◼️ *There’s HOPE if you make TAUBAH*

If however someone fell into this evil, then they should immediately make sincere taubah and completely cut off from all means that might lead to it.

If the one who has committed zina repents to Allaah, truly and sincerely, then Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala will forgive him or her, and overlook the sin.

▪️Allaah says, after mentioning the warning to those who commit zina: 

“Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allaah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds; then verily, he repents towards Allaah with true repentance”
(al-Furqaan 25:70-71)

◼️ *BUT I want to marry the person!*

It is NOT even allowed for someone who commits zina to marry the person they’re committing zina with.

However if the person repents sincerely, and gives up this sin, then and only then, it becomes permissible for him or her to get married to the other person.

▪️Someone asked Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem about getting married to a woman who has committed zina.

He said:

“It is not permissible to marry the woman who has committed adultery until she repents… if a man wants to marry her, he has to be sure that she is not pregnant, by waiting until she has a period before he does the marriage contract with her.
If she is pregnant, then it is not permissible for him to marry her until she has given birth.” 
(al-Fataawa al-Jaami’ah li’l-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 2/584)

▪️And the scholars of the Standing Committee said:

“What is required of both of them is to repent to Allaah then to give up this crime and regret what has happened in the past of committing immoral actions, and they should resolve never to go back to it and they should do a lot of righteous deeds in the hope that Allaah will accept their repentance and turn their bad deeds into good deeds.

Allaah says:
“And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor kill such person as Allaah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse __ and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
69. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;
70. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful
71. And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds; then verily, he repents towards Allaah with true repentance”
[al-Furqaan 25:68-71]

If you want to marry her, you have to wait until it is established that she is not pregnant by waiting for one menstrual cycle before doing the marriage contract with her.
If it turns out that she is pregnant, it is not permissible for you to do the marriage contract with her until after the pregnancy ends, in accordance with the words of the Prophet sa that a man should not irrigate the crop of another with his water. “
(Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, Majallat al-Buhooth al-Islamiyyah, vol. 9, p. 72)

◼️ *Evil Effects of Zina*

As for the effects of Zina, they are many and are they are severe.

◼️Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah said:

Zina (adultery, fornication) combines all the characteristics of evil, such as lack of religious commitment, loss of piety, corruption of dignity and lack of protective jealousy.

You will never find any zaani (adulterer) who is pious, keeps his word, speaks truthfully, cares for a friend or has any true sense of protective jealousy concerning his womenfolk. 

Betrayal, lying, treachery, lack of dignity, lack of awareness that Allaah is always watching, failure to guard the sacred limits, and absence of protective jealousy from the heart are all consequences of zina. 

Other consequences of zina include the following: 

▪️Divine wrath which may lead to spread of mischief among his family.
If a man were to transgress against any king in such a manner, the king’s response would be most severe.

▪️Darkness of the face, which will be covered with misery and gloom that are apparent to the onlookers.

▪️Darkness in the heart and extinguishing of its light.
This is what leads to extinguishing of light on the face and darkness overshadowing it.

▪️Inevitable poverty.
According to a report, Allaah, may He be exalted, said:

“I am Allaah, the Destroyer of the tyrant and the Bringer of poverty to the adulterer.”

▪️Loss of dignity and respect, as the one who commits this deed becomes insignificant before his Lord and before other people.

▪️It takes away from him the best attributes, namely chastity, righteousness and good character, and it gives him the opposite, namely immorality, evildoing, adultery and betrayal.

▪️It takes away from him the name of the believer, as it is narrated in as-Saheehayn from the Prophet ﷺ that he said:

“The adulterer is not a believer at the time when he is committing adultery.”
Thus he loses the name of a believer in general terms, even though this hadith does not suggest that he has lost faith altogether.

Ja‘far ibn Muhammad was asked about this hadith, and he drew a circle on the ground and said:
‘This is the circle of faith.’
Then he drew another circle around it and said:
‘This is the circle of Islaam. If a person commits adultery, he goes out of this circle (faith) but he does not go out of that circle (Islaam).”
(Rawdat al-Muhibbeen 360)

◼️Shaykh ‘Abdullaah ‘Ateeq al-Harbee, one of the professors in the University of al-Madeenah, explains some of the effects of zina.

He said:

“And from the first of the evils that come from zina is that it is one of the causes for the spread of many evils and many diseases connected to fornication, just like the sickness of AIDS and other in that from the sicknesses that destroy the lands and destroy the servants.

And likewise it is from the reasons that causes commotion in and amongst the family — as far as it relates to the husband or as far as it relates to the wife and to the children and if the family indeed is split, that will lead to the splitting of the community and indeed they will fall into that which are of the lowly actions and will fall into corruptions.

And likewise from the evil effects of zina is that it is from the reason for talaaq (or divorce) being plentiful in the societies. Because you find after the marriage, after a small space of time you will find the people divorcing each other and sometimes this happens after a space of few hours.

And likewise, from the evil effects of zina and fornication is that it lowers the marriage rates in the society. So as for the person who commits fornication and is constant and regular in doing that, then he does not look to marriage except as another way of having a sexual relationship. Not that it is a beautiful way of uniting two bodies, neither it is a life that is built of love and emotions and raising a family and having children and indeed from bringing and having children, it is by way of those children our that lives become happy lives. And likewise it makes life easy with the presence of the children.

And likewise we see from the evil effects of zina and fornication is that we find the level of children and the level of having kids fall in that particular society. Because when zina is one of the reasons for the spread of deadly diseases like AIDS and other than AIDS, we find as a result of that many people die in the society. And as a result of that we find people having children as a result of that die. And as a result of that also the strength of the community is lost.

And also from the evil effects of zina, is that it leads to much crime in that society. And from that the crimes that generate and likewise a person will enter into stealing and rape in order to satisfy his sexual desires. And likewise as a result of that we find people even killing each other and killing themselves as a result of this spread of this zina.

And likewise from the evil effects of zina, is that we find that we have many children, many offspring that are the children that have come as a result of that fornication. And this likewise is from the sins meaning these children have come about as a product of fornication. This is also from the sins that increases crimes, and increases evil doings in and among society. Because the child from a young age is in need of receiving the love and attention from both his parents. So when the child loses out on that care and loses out on that attention, and when he loses that love, then what happens is that he has a reactory feeling as he grows that he was not nurtured upon love and upon affection. So that breeds from him and lead him to haste and dislike to society and the surrounding that he lives in. So, when he reaches the age of maturity, we find that these individuals enough of time end up themselves being individuals that commit evil acts and committing different crimes in order to avenge that society.”

May Allaah protect us from the evils of Zina.

And Allaah knows best.
