Lagosboy: @IFY
No luck regarding the hunting i need to acquire better hunting skills and night vision goggles. Well, i am back to base alihamdulilah!
Regarding your query as to periods and prayer, I think Muhsin and xoxo have addressed it. Just to butress their arguement, during periods you could engage in dhikr as much as u can and you could supplicate from "that wonderful book". You could recite the quran quietly from memory and if there is a case of neccesity like exams etc you could handle the quran, some use gloves.
Period doesnt cut a lady from God it hold excuses herfrom the daily rituals of salah or ramdan and if you areon hajj and your period kicks in, some scholars have said you could carry on based on a hadith repored by Aisha when she went on hajj with the prophet.
N.B I saw Mukina at her base during my hunting lols. lolz. In that case,both of u are suspects until further notice. Welcome back bro,I almost missed u.  uplawal: Allah says stay off salat.
Some scholars says,kick on,based on Aisha
is Her opinion better than Allah's judgement?
NO NO,
A woman is supposed to stop all obligatoryif she's in that impurity state Including her own simple duahs? |

[quote author=xoxo, link=topic=359506.msg7213957#msg7213957 date=1290684801]Salat The five times Salat are set at specific times of the day and night. It is intentional that time out be taken at that time to remind everyone that human beings are simply creations of one Creator, Who can provide them with sustenance or take it away at His Will.
In short, Salat, is the "silla" or "connection" between the one performing the Salat and the one he is praying to. During this connection, all worldly matters are to be shut out of one's mind and all focus directed toward praise and worship.
Dua or supplication This is another prayer that is informal and can be done with the raising of hands, or solely in the heart, or before one goes to bed or at any time. Literally Du'a is "a calling upon" or a "supplication". Putting it into context, when someone calls upon Allah for something, he is "making Du'a". The person who makes the Du'a is called the Da'iy. Similarly, those that go out and call to the people regarding the religion are making "Da'wa".
Some Differences between the Salat and Dua Salat is formal; Du'a is not (with a few exceptions). Salat is performed at fixed times; Du'a can be performed at any time. Salat requires ablution; Du'a does not. Salat is to be prayed in congregation; Du'a is an individual experience (however can be group) Salat must be performed in Arabic and only Arabic; Du'a can be performed in the supplicators native tongue as he or she pleases.
i think the prayer you mean here is dua which you can do as you please regardless of your period.[/quote]Thank u.I guess i didnt use the right words. Im happy to know i can do my Duahs anytime i want to.Thank u |

muhsin: Assalamu alaikum, IFY
I would like to make it clear that: I don't have much time to talk tall, and hence I will only give you the info you mostly need without much substantive proofs from Qur'an and Hadith. That, I hope, when the more learned ones come will do inshaAllah. Or myself later.
When you are in your period, it is not that you are cut-off from God, no! You are simply in an impurity obviously. Before the advent of Islam, women in Arabia were sentenced to out-skirt, never talked to--in fact even never even listened to unless they are out of that period. Even in our contemporary world, you have things like pad, etc to protect you from that "dirt". That is, as I have already mentioned, an unclean state of being. Hence the religion prescribes how one should, although in that state, practice it, in contrary to all those attitudes already in place. One of these guidelines says no prayer (Solat!), and not all other form of prayer; no fasting but you are required to do/repay that when you are out of that; no sexual intercourse among other things.
What you should here understand is that: you are very much free and allowed to make your supplications/prayers (du'as) to the Exalted One, Allah (SWT). You can recite Qur'an (although some scholars say one ought not to hold it but do that "off head", from his memorized store); and do many other things.
Hope that helps. Thanks. May Allah guide us all to the right path, amin. [quote][/quote]Thank you.You understood me and gave me just the right answer. Sallams. |

azharuddin: No Ify you cant. As i mentioned during periods one is in a state of impurity so you cant pray alone either. I hope you get the idea now. You understood that you cant perform wudu during periods. Without wudu you cannot perform salaah. Simple ; )
If you have more doubts in this matter please feel free to ask. It is a very important topic. I hope you understood what is ghusl too. Post as many queries as you can, so we will be able to be specific while answering. Thanks but still,I cant understand why i shouldnt have my own prayer  Why shld i be cut-off from God just cos Im on period,is period now a sort of curse?(maybe my Xtian upbringing is a factor to how i feel) Assuming im on my period and something awful happens that i need to say a quick prayer there and then,what happens  I keep quiet cos im Unclean  @Lagosboy,u still dey hunt for 8th wife in Cotonuo,u berra bring urself here.  |

abenelo: NIGHT FALL IN SOWETO OSWARD MTSHALI
Nightfall comes like a dreaded disease
seeping through the pores
of a healthy body
and ravaging it beyong repair.
A murderer's hand
lurking in the shadows,
clasping the dagger
strikes down the helpless victim
I am the victim.
I am slaughtered every night in the streets
I am cornered by the fear
gnawing at my timid heart;
In my helplessness I languish.
Man has ceased to be man
Man has become beast
man has become prey.
I am the quarry to be run down
by the maruading beast let loose
by cruel nightfall from his cage of death.
Where is my refuge?
Where am I safe?
Not in my matchbox house
where I barracade myself against nightfall
I tremble at his crunching footsteps,
I quake at his deafening knock at the door
Open Up! he barks like a rabid dog.
Nightfall Nightfall!
Why were you ever created?
Why can't it be daytime?
Daytime forever more? My Favorite. Please can anyone write J.P Clarks " In Prison" for me? It goes this way "In prison,the clouds assume importance . . . " |

topup: I read this quote today:
"If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to. " — Oprah Winfrey
Now, today a friend of mine disappointed me for the second time, for something I consider to be pretty major, of course we have both disappointed ourselves with minor things several times in the past - that's inevitable, but I wasn't prepared for this.

Islam › Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by ifyalways(op): 1:28pm On Nov 23, 2010 |
azharuddin: Walaikum Salaam, Yes its haram for anyone to do Salat without ablution(wudu)!! I hope you have someone to show you how to do wudu correctly. I will give you and idea how it is done:
1) Niyat (intention) : You have to think in heart that- 'I am going to do wudu inorder to clean my impurities'. Without niyat wudu is not complete and without wudu Salath is not accepted. 2) Say: Bismillahi rahmanir raheem. 3) Wash your hands till your wrists - 3 times (always begin with right) 4) Wash your mouth - 3 times 5) Wash your face: Forehead to chin and ear to ear - 3 times 6) Wash the forearms (right forearm first) up to the elbows - 3 times (ie right forearm 3 times, then left forearm 3 times) 7) Wet your fingers and then wipe the head. - 3 times
Wet your fingers and then clean your ears as follows: Put the index fingers in the ear and pass the thumbs behind the ear from down to top -3 times 9) Wash the feet (right foot first) up to the ankles making sure that no parts of the feat are left dry, especially between the toes. - 3 times
End of Wudu say the following dua: "Ash hadu an lailaha illal lahu wah dahu la shareeka lahu wa ash hadu an-na Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu". (Muslim) meaning: I testify that there is no deity except Allah alone. And I testify that Muhammad(saw) is His servant and messenger."
Important note: Wudu SHOULD be done in the above mentioned ORDER or else it ll be just washing up.
Also i thought i will mention What all things will break the wudu. 1)Passing urine. 2)Passing wind or stool through anus. 3)Contact with najas(impurity) such as: Dropping(stool) of any living thing, Blood, Alchohol, Pig, dog. 4)Sleeping, state of unconsiousness.
You cannot do salath while you have your periods(menses). When periods is over it is necessary to do Ghusl(bath). Ghusl is also necessary after sexual intercourse. For Ghusl also you have to keep intention(niyat) and the while we bath we should make sure that water touches all the parts of the body.
Before salath keep in mind the following things: 1) That you are free from big impurities, That is make sure you have done Ghusl after sexual intercourse, periods. 2) Also that you are free from minor impurites. Make sure you have not done anything to break Wudu(passing urine,wind etc), If your wudu is broken it is necessary that you have to take wudu before salath.
I hope that will help you. If you ve doubts please ask. Others please add if i have forgotten something. May Allah allow you and all of us to practice Islam in the way it is supposed to be done. Ameen Thanks so conclusively,u are saying that once a woman is in her flow,she CANNOT have her own private salat?even without observing wudu? |

She needs help. I kind of agree. The scenario isnt hard to picture.The couple cuddles and plays with their little baby while they scream and beat her at any slightest error,she dresses inrags while new baby gets new stuffs,show no appreciation whatsoever to her. . . creating unknowingly a hatred in the heart of the rejected child and their baby. What she did is wicked and evil but at this stage,keeping her in police custody wont do her much good.She needs love. |
