Sahih Muslim Book 028,Number 5612:Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: He who played chess is like one who dyed his hand with the flesh and blood of swine.

Sunan Abu Dawud Chapter 26 Hadith 3677 Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace_be_ upon_him) forbade wine (khamr), game of chance (maysir), drum (kubah), and wine made from millet (ghubayrah), saying: Every intoxicant is forbidden......Peace

DMainMan: I would lyk to ask these questions and hope wil get prompt answers

1. If a Gambler (Baba Ijebu) leads Salat in d mosque, d congregation dat prays behind him,wil dere prayers b answered. Is it acceptable in Islam for d Gambler to lead when dere ar knowledgeable ones around.

When there are knowledgeable people around,then no need for a gambler to lead solat.

2. Christians fasting wit us during Ramadan,wil it b accepted for dem.

No,Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183-''O you who believe,fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you,so that you may become pious.''

For your fast to be accepted,you must believe in all six articles of faith.They are just wasting their effort if they fast ramadan as a christian.

3. Aw can one control masturbation (islamic perspective).

Jazakumullah Khairan Brother,enjoyed reading this.

Dizney: With God, all thinz are possible! + we are just 4k this year! I will be admitted.

All is well bro,have faith.We are futarians to be In sha Allah

BARRIERS TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH Whosoever disbelieved in oneness of Allah or failed to let the objectives of the articles of Islamic faith influence his life will deprive himself of spiritual wisdom and growth (Surah An-Nisa 4:28-30).
Sins,crimes and innovation (bid’ah) are barriers to salvation and spiritual growth. They stunt it and cut it off (Surah An-Anam 6:120).
Forbidden foods should be avoided (Surah Al-Maidah 5:3) as well as alcohol and smoking (Surah Al-Maidah 5:90-91), because apart from being haram,they tend to destroy “the body” that shelters “the spiritual soul” thereby hampering the spiritual growth.Also,pessimistic individual under the influence of negative thought or doubtful mind about the importance of spiritual growth will undermine his will and capacity to vie for it and never would such acquire spiritual wisdom or perfection.


Assessment
One need to be asking him/her self from time to time as to improving or reducing in Spiritual status (duties discussed) which can be answered by the fact that “the sign of attaining spiritual perfection is that every indecent,weakness and evil act arouse disgust in you and you feel shy and discourage of practice at all.”
The Prophet(SAW) said “When your good work gives you pleasure and your evil work grieves you,then you are a man of faith”.

By this you have attained the wisdom and achieved the perfection.


An ideal Muslim must be all round good (Surah Al-Furqan 25:63-75).
Allah has called in Surah Al-Maidah 5:35- “O ye who believe fear Allah and seek the way of approach unto Him and strive in His way that you may prosper”.

Pursuing and attaining spiritual perfection is the way to regain the angelic nature and post of Allah true vicegerent (Surah Al-Insan 76:3) with which individual man was created.

Prophet Muhammad(SAW) said “Allah says my servant continues to draw near to Me by voluntary service so that I love him and when I love him,I (Alla) become his hearing whereby he hears,and his sight whereby he sees and his hands wherewith he seizes and his feet wherewith he walks and if he asks of Me, I give him”.


This sublime,honoured and respected state is what you stand to acquire if you can vie and sacrifice for it.
“And of men there is he who would sell himself to seek the pleasure of Allah and Allah is compassionate to His servants” Surah Al-Baqarah 2: 207

To these people Allah would say “O soul in rest and satisfaction return to thy Lord well pleased with Him and He (Allah) well pleased with thee, so enter among My honoured servants and enter My paradise” Surah Al-Fajr 89: 27-30.

Emiola Waleola: My guy make I no lie you let me use myself as a case study, I chose CSC in 2008 I had 64% but I wasn't. Admitted CSC is highly competitive. So my advice is quickly go and pick a change of course form and choose another department don't waste the result. Success.

But bro,you were many during your time.we aren't up to 5k this time,Is still there hope for him?

SUPPLICATE AND REPENT
Sincere Du’a (supplication) is a light that illuminates one’s mind and upgrades iman. It is of paramount importance to be making constant supplication,specifically on the attainment of spiritual perfection. Allah says in Surah Ghafir 40:60- “Call on Me (Allah) and I will answer you…”. Prophet Muhammad(SAW) said “Prayer is the sword of a Muslim”.

Fervent prayer should therefore be used to cut off any evil impediment on the way and to reap divine light, wisdom and power from Allah’s field of mercy.The supplication should also include seeking forgiveness of one’s misdeed with a penitent heart.

Allah says in Surah Muhammad 47:19- “Know therefore that there is no God except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sins and for believing men and women…”.

Moreover one should repent from past iniquities,this makes one conscious of his actions and resists one of going back to evils,which consequently lead to spiritual upliftment (Surah Az-Zumar 39:53-54).


PRACTICE GOD’S REMEMBRANCE Spiritual perfection is attained,fortified and enlivened by God’s remembrance (Dhikri) which contains celebration of Allah’s praises,recitation of Quran and Hadith and reflecting and contemplating on the meaning.Heart grows and enjoys the spiritual ecstasy associated with God’s remembrance and one is even rewarded and uplifted in spiritual status.It is through God’s remembrance that one can discover the secret of Satan (Surah Al-Araf 7:201), acknowledge the truth surrounding greatness of the reward of God’s command and the gravity of the punishment of His prohibitions which instill fear and obedience in one’s heart leading to peace and satisfaction of mind.

Allah says in Surah Ar-Rad 13:28- “Those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in Allah’s remembrance, certainly in remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort”.

Anybody who shun or belittle this matter has indeed sold himself to satan and never would such find a way nor attain spiritual growth.
Allah says in Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:36-37- “whoever forgets the remembrance of Allah.We appoint for him a satan who become his companion… leading him astray…”.

Reserve a time in the night and/or day for Allah’s remembrance and you will no doubt achieve spiritual wisdom.

You are in bro.

BetaThings: People just post contradictions in order to promote this work-in-progress called Christianity!
A religion that will lie about other religions is worth nobody's time

They are following Paul's teachings[Romans 3:7]

tbaba1234: 1. Who are these scholars. Do you have a link of this fatwa with evidences. This opinion of yours, is strange to me. If it exists, it is a minority opinion.

No link,never mind who the scholar is.
As you said,it's a minority opinion.

Overwhelming evidence shows that people have seen him in dreams. I know reliable people who have made such claim. They would not lie about something like that.

Ok,so what's the dream all about? Give them glad tidings to strengthen their Imaan?

2. Dream interpretation is part of Islam, dreams are interpreted in line with the Quran and sunnah.

There are scholars trained in this.

Narrated Abu Huraira:I heard Allah’s Apostle saying,“Nothing is left of the prophetism except Al-Mubashshirat.”They asked,“What are Al-Mubashshirat?” He replied, “The true good dreams (that conveys glad tidings).” [Sahih Bukhari - Book # 87, Hadith #119]
So I am not arguing about that....Peace

tbaba1234: Rabee'ah ibn Abi 'Abd al-Rahmaan said: "I heard Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) describing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said: 'He was of average height, not too tall and not too short, with a pinkish colour, not very white and not dark, and his hair was neither very curly nor very straight. The Revelation came to him when he was forty years old, and he stayed in Makkah for ten years after the Revelation came, then in Madeenah for ten years. When he died, there were no more than twenty white hairs on his head and in his beard." (al-Bukhaari, 3283).

Al-Baraa' ibn 'Aazib said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was broad shouldered and had thick hair coming down to his shoulders and earlobes. He was wearing red garments. I have never seen anything more beautiful than him." (Reported by Muslim, Kitaab al-Fadaa'il, Baab Sifat Sha'r al-Nabi (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), no. 2338).

'Ali said: "He was neither tall nor short, and had large hands and feet. He had a large head and was big-boned, and the thin line of hair (starting from his chest and extending to the navel) was long. When he walked, he would lean forward, as if he was walking downhill. I have never seen anyone like him, before or since." (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 3570, who said this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth).

Jaabir ibn Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was dalee' al-fam, ashkal al-'ayn and manhoos al-'aqib." Shu'bah said: "I asked Maalik, 'What is dalee' al-fam?' He said: 'Wide-mouthed.' I asked, 'What is ashkal al-'ayn?' He said, 'Big-eyed.' I asked, 'What is manhoos al-'aqib?' He said, 'His heels were not fleshy.'" (Saheeh Muslim, Kitaab al-Fadaa'il, 2339).

Jazakumullah Khairan

tbaba1234: This is the source of your confusion....

You are misinterpreting the hadith and arguing blindly.

I am not arguing blindly,just putting forward what I read.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me when he is awake; the Shaytaan cannot take my shape.”

How come no scholar interpreted it
you

Some scholars say will see me when he's awake means the day of Judgment,how true is this?

Are you now a scholar If you say, you are not that knowledgeable why are you arguing with the agreed view?

I am not a scholar and not every scholar agrees with islamqa.

Those people who had dreams of the prophet at the time of ibn Abbas did NOT see him awake. That alone makes all these your argument empty.

I haven't read this hadith before,that's why I stand on what I wrote before.I thought nobody saw the prophet(pbuh)after his death.

Allah is the one that gives dreams, Are you questioning the Qadr of Allah? You have to be more careful.

Description

Only Allah gives dreams and I am not questioning Qadr.I asked a question with what I wrote.I am not here to argue but to reason and you are free to prove me wrong.....Peace

tbaba1234: Did you read the post from Islamqa, I posted above?

The scholars of ahlus sunnah are in agreement with this.

Which school of thought is yours?

I belong to none.

Fortunately, we do have most of his features and can tell pretty quickly if he is the one we saw.

Provide an hadith for the descriptions of Muhammad(pbuh).

Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said:

We have narrated it with a complete isnaad from Ismaa’eel ibn Ishaaq al-Qaadi from Sulaymaan ibn Harb – who was one of the shaykhs of al-Bukhaari –from Hammaad ibn Zayd from Ayyoob who said: If a man told Muhammad (meaning Ibn Sireen) that he had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) [in a dream], he would say, “Describe to me the one whom you saw.” If he gave a description that he did not recognize, he would say, “You did not see him.” Its isnaad is saheeh, and I have found another report which corroborates it. Al-Haakim narrated via ‘Aasim ibn Kulayb (who said), my father told me: I said to Ibn ‘Abbaas, “I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in a dream.” He said, “Describe him to me.” He said, “I mentioned al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali and said that he looked like him.” He said, “You did indeed see him.” Its isnaad is jayyid.

Fath al-Baari, 12/383, 384.


This narrations above clearly shows that those from the latter generation who did not see him had dreams of him. Ibn Abbas (RA) confirmed whether they were correct or incorrect

That's it,Ibn Abbas was there to confirm,who's to confirm in our generation? Unless there's a description in an hadith.

The same thing would happen today.We have the complete description. One can quickly tell when his description is off.

Just provide the hadith please.

Again,make your conclusions based on knowledge not on your desires.

This has nothing to do about my desires and I am not that knowledgeable you know.

That,a person has a dream does not mean something from the sunnah/Quran is been changed... Many times, it signifies glad tidings for the person.

Imagine the enormity of crises that occurred after the death of Nabi (SAW) … Usman (RA)’s murder,the rift between Ayesha (RA) and Ali (RA) that lead to wars amongst Muslims.Did the Prophet come in dreams of either Ayesha (RA) or Ali (RA) to explain who is correct and how all this bloodshed could be avoided or gives glad tidings?

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me when he is awake; the Shaytaan cannot take my shape.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6592; Muslim, 2266)

This hadith clearly shows that people would have dreams of the prophet.... It does not limit it to a time....

The hadith says whoever sees him in a dream would have seen him when he's awake.

PERFORM SOLAT
Solat is a must for anyone who wishes to attain and perfect his spiritual status,as it is the mean of conversing with Allah reminds one of the covenant made with Allah (Surah Al-Araf 7:172).
It demonstrates the highest and true submission,respect,praise and worship of Allah which make the pursuit of spiritual perfection prosper (Surah Al-Hajj 22:77).It draws one near to Allah and makes one avoid evil and indecent deeds leading to spiritual growth and perfection (Surah Al-Ankabout 29:45).

Allah has prescribed that “Glorify your Lord (with solat) before the rising of the sun and before it setting and that you glorify Him in the sides of the day and at night that thou may find true happiness” Surah Ta-ha 20:130.

It is this true happiness that spiritual perfection brings to its possessor.In addition Tahajjud (Mid-night nafl,dhikri and supplication) is the driving force of attaining spiritual perfection;they speed the attainment,fortify and raise the spiritual status.
Allah says in Surah Al-Isra 17;79-“And wake up for it in the latter part of the night (Tahajjud) as a superogatory prayer for you, soon will Allah raise you to a station of praise and glory”.

That station of praise and glory is spiritual perfection.Prophet Muhammad said “the door of good deeds are observing the Tahajjud which draws man nearer to Allah”.
Solat and Tahajjud must therefore be humbly,devotedly and constantly observed.


TAKE TO FASTING
Fasting is not the name of merely keeping away from eating and drinking but it is also keeping away from wicked and obscene things …” said the Prophet(SAW). Fasting avoids pleasure and anyone who dismisses pleasure is less likely to misbehave for it is a resistance against vicious habits and opposition to canal desire,fasting upgrades one’s spiritual status.

The ProphetSAW) said “There is almsgiving for everything and the almsgiving for the body is fasting”


Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183- “Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may become righteous”.
Apart from the Ramadan fasting the Prophet(SAW) enjoined voluntary fasting on Mondays and Thursdays as well as the 13th, 14th and 15th days of every Luna month (Hijra Calendar) for your spiritual upliftments and perfection.

tbaba1234: ^Your view/intetpretation is incorrect.

You said

tbaba1234: If they are coming up with things not in the Quran and
Sunnah, there are two options:
1. It is made up.
2.Dream is from Shaytan or his imaginations.

So,what's their dreams all about? The Prophet(pbuh)giving glad tidings or warnings after He has left us the Quran and sunnah?

This is an hadith of Sahih Bukhari
The time is of Hijrah to Medina when the Prophet (SAW) and Abu Bakr (RA) arrived in Medina during the day.The people of Medina were waiting for the Prophet (SAW) anxiously.When both the Prophet (SAW) and Abu Bakr (RA) were together,many amongst the Ansar who had not seen the Prophet (SAW) in real life and didn’t know how he looked like actually came over to greet Abu Bakr (RA),thinking of him to be Muhammad (SAW).That is until Abu Bakr (RA) realised what was happening;so when direct sunlight fell over Nabi (SAW),Abu Bakr provided a shade to Nabi (SAW) with his sheet (chaadar) and only then people realised who the Prophet was.(Sahih Bukhari – Book #58, Hadith #245).

So we learn that people who had not seen Nabi (SAW) and didn’t recognise his facial features made a mistake in broad daylight and thought of the Prophet’s companion to be the Prophet.So how can anyone be sure of this in dreams when Satan can take the form of any buzurg (wise old man) and make false claims??

tbaba1234: If they are coming up with things not in the Quran and Sunnah, there are two options:

1. It is made up.

2.Dream is from Shaytan or his imaginations.

Ibn Tamiyyah wrote on Jinns, read this

https://www.nairaland.com/1116143/jinn-stories/3#13222384

Lanrexlan, it is possible to see the prophet in dreams. And many people have. I know a few stories.

Please be careful with statements so that we do not misguide people.

The prophet represents the sunnah, normally seeing him is glad tidings fot the dreamer and others seen with him. (The dreamer's handbook by Muhammed Mustafa al jibaly)

It does not mean he is alive. Dreams are symbolic.

How can one be sure that it was the prophet(pbuh)they saw? Based on the very clear message in the above ahadith,we can state that only those people could dream about the Prophet (SAW) who had seen him in wakefulness,i.e. in real life.This is very very important.If Satan had been able to impersonate the Prophet (SAW),he could misguide the Sahaba (RA).Similarly,Sahaba (RA) could be sure they had indeed seen the Nabi (SAW) because they knew what he looked like! Thus,both conditions are met:
Satan can’t impersonate Muhammad (SAW), and the dreamer can be certain this is the case precisely because he knows what Nabi (SAW) looked like.In this day and age,a person who already believes that it is possible to see Muhammad (SAW) in a dream,may end up seeing him.This is because any good dream which has a respectable looking religious person in it will be seen as representing Prophet Muhammad (SAW).But when a person believes that is it NOT possible to see Muhammad (SAW) in a dream,then the chances of that person interpreting it in that manner are close to zero.The problem is with people who have only read about Muhammad (SAW) in books but they don’t know his exact appearance.So Satan can take the form of any PIOUS looking man, appear in our dreams and claim to be the Prophet (SAW)! Or he may not even claim it and we might wake up in the morning and interpret it this way just because we already believe in it!. And Allah knows best.

READ HOLY BOOKS
Holy books such as Quran,Hadith and good Islamic texts are sources of clear knowledge of divine guidance and law (Sharia)[Surah Al-Jatiyah 45: 18]that pave way for human betterment,happiness and Spiritual growth.

One should therefore cultivate the habit of reading them regularly,digesting and try to practicalising the commands therein.This undoubtedly leads to pious life,peace and spiritual wisdom and growth

Allah says in Surah Ibrahim 14:1-“This (Quran) is a book which We have revealed to you that you may bring mankind out of every darkness (of corruption) into the light (of Spiritual perfection)”

Reading corrupts books and magazines must be stopped as they have no spiritual or moral benefit but devastate the foundation of one’s faith and blind spiritual instinct.In his last message Prophet Muhammad(SAW) said “I am leaving two great things for you,these are Holy Quran and my practice (Hadith) if you follow them never will you be distressed or strayed.” Therefore,set up for yourself a functional and up to date Islamic library.


ASSOCIATE WITH PIOUS COMPANY

Allah says in Surah At-Taubah 9:119[b] “O ye who believe fear Allah and be among those who speak the truth”[/b]
A recommendation from Allah in order to attain spiritual perfection.You must associate with the pious because man necessarily yields to the influence of his group whether good or bad.A yoruba adage says “Sheep that flocks with dog will eat shit.”If you keep bad company,your character would gradually pick up their degenerated and deviant qualities falling you into ruin through their shallow reasoning,disobedient and sinful habits. Allah warns in An-Najm 53:29-“So turn aside from him who turns away from our remembrance and seeks nothing but the life of this world”.

Company with pious group awakens piety in you and nourishes your soul and spiritual faculties due to their sublime thought and the inclination to virtue and piety.Enroll your self in an Islamic group known for its sunnah,good moral and spiritual inclination that avoids bid’ a and be active in all its programme.

Allah says in Surah Al-Maidah 5:55- “Verily your friend is none but Allah,His messenger and the believers”.

The Prophet(SAW) said To be alone is better than to have a bad companion and a good companion is better than being alone.

busar: You can't imagine a person putting on agbada or skinny trousers claiming he is the prophet .. Many people don't really know the prophet(his look)

Sissie: I am not misinterpreting the hadith. If shaytan takes a form and says he's the prophet.
He didn't take Prophet Muhammad (SAW) form. He just took a man's form and claimed to be the prophet.

Hence my question did they really dream about prophet Muhammad (SAW), since the alfas, imams,sheikhs and I don't really know what the prophet looked like, we only have descriptions.

We cannot see Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in a dream.In fact,the Bukhari hadith mentioned earlier says that whoever sees Muhammad (SAW) in a dream has seen him in wakefulness.Since none of us have seen him in wakefulness,we can’t see him
in a dream.
The problem with people claiming that Prophet(SAW) had been seen in dreams is that it gives the impression that Prophet (SAW)is aware of what we do,and then he comes in our dreams to give us a Basharat (good news) or to warn us.What we need to remember though is that Prophet(SAW) was Bashir-o-Nazeeri in his life:he was a bearer of good news and a warner in his lifetime.He completed his mission and died. So we cannot assume that he will now be remorseful about the circumstances of the Muslim Ummah and will come to give more warnings or good news.The deen has been perfected.

AVOID EVIL THOUGHT
When man thinks he then translates his thought into action.People’s absorption in thoughts about a thing is the preparatory stage for that thing to happen.For this reason positive and good thoughts lead you to perform decent and godly actions while evils and bad thoughts prepares you to commit indecent and devilish actions, stunting and cutting you off the spiritual growth and gradually eliminating good thoughts and blackens your heart and soon become your habit that destroy your life.

Have time to reflect on attaining decent life and exalted post of spiritual perfection. Avoid your thought to centre on cheating, fornication,disobedience,lying,fraud, deceit,drunkenness,oppression or causing trouble.

“Good thoughts are part of good worship” said our beloved Prophet(SAW).Accustom yourself to reflecting on the verses of the holy Quran and hadith of the Prophet(SAW) is the simplest and easiest way towards spiritual growth.


LEARN RESTRAINT
Restraint is just like “Prevention which is better than cure”.One must try to resist the temptations of carnal self and to stand up against the pressure of emotional urges. Restraint will be meaningful and possible for you if you have strong conviction of your belief,see dignity in morality and have respect for human merit and self integrity. Bringing into mind the consequence of an act that violates above mentioned qualities according to Quran and Hadith will induce certain restrain,and this canbe improved upon.Restraint goes with positive reason and courage,for it requires to stand up for solat in the day or at night while others are busy merry-making or sleeping.

It requires courage to speak the truth when you are expected to tell lie and indeed it requires courage to vie for spiritual growth while your colleagues are in pursuit of material wealth.Restraint can atimes be accomplished by seizing one’s leisure time in dong religious deeds and by avoiding thinking or engaging in deals that can incite evils (Surah Al-Isra17:32)

Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah At-Taghabun 64:16- ''So fear Allah as best as you can and listen and obey and spend in God’s way… and whosoever is restrained of the covetousness of his own soul shall be successful”.

To acquire Spiritual growth therefore demands that every temptation and evil desire be courageously restrained.

HAVE FAITH
The firm faith and belief needed to serve as the solid foundation for spiritual growth and perfection and the force capable of taming the lustful drives and evil desires which may influence man’s pure nature and character is the unconfused Islamic monotheism belief that induces true character of a sincere servant of Almighty Allah(swt).Its principles are:
The sayings of the heart;
the actions of the heart;
the sayings of the tongue and;
the actions of the limbs in obedience to the objectives of articles of Islamic faith.

Following deep thinking and positive reasoning that differentiate man from animal it is then a matter of personal conviction to believe and mould your life on the objectives of articles of Islamic faith (Surah An-Nisa 4:136).
1)That Allah(swt) is Only True God who created,protects and sustains you (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:225).

2)Belief in angels makes you feel that you are in this universe with some invisible friendly and righteousness creatures who carry out Allah’s order on you (Surah Qaf 50:17-18).

3)Belief in the Holy book (Al-Quran) makes you feel at peace and ease of having complete divine manual for guided and successful life (Surah Al-Anam 6:38).

4)Belief in the Prophets (Peace be upon them all)opens way for you to know and take clue from them as a model of virtue and correct foundation of excellent moral necessary for spiritual growth and perfection (Surah An-Nisa 4:163-165).

5)Belief in the day of judgment drives you to control your behaviour and life according to the divine laws of justice and righteousness,making you conscious of grand accountability (Surah Az-Zumar39:70-72).

5)Belief in divine destine makes you grow stronger in the face of calamities and to face them with patience and courage,and not to succumb to them or be despaired (Surah Al-Hadid 57: 22-23)which consequently fortify your spiritual status.


EXHIBIT MORALS
The power of distinguishing right from wrong is inherent in individuals.Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah Ash-Shams 91:7-9-“By the soul and its perfection and as to its enlightenment as to good and bad…”.

Holiness goes with godliness which is a must to be adorned every time.Take to forgiveness even to your enemy
Allah says in Surah Fussilat 41:34-“And good and evil are not alike,repel evil with that which is best.”
Nothing befits man in every aspect of life than moral habit and sincere faith is only fruitful when coupled with good character, hence anybody who separates faith from good work and kindness will never attain Spiritual growth or its perfection.When man performs good deeds he opposes satan and rises toward the angels “nobody can be a true believer unless he likes for his brother what he like for himself” said the prophe(SAW).
One should therefore have a good disposition toward every creature and endeavour to exhibit the excellent virtues of truthfulness,kindness,respect,modesty, humility and liberality and exert all his power to keep away from falsehood,idle-talk,injustice,backbiting,cursing,adultery, miserliness,pride and all sorts of evil deeds (Surah Al-Anam 6:120).

Allah says in Surah At-Tin 95:4-5- “We have created man in the best make (with moral deeds), then (if he works iniquity) we reject him as the lowest of the low”

SPIRITUAL STATE:Is the sublime state of life of closet relationship with Almighty Allah(swt)in which man (spiritual soul and material body)exhibit fully the natural pure nature/angelic qualities which is inherent in him by submitting to the Natural Truth of Allah’s commands which gives him the power that transcend the wickedness of the evils (Surah An-Nahl 16:45-47),helps him to overcome the pressure and deceit of material word (Surah Al-Kahf 18:46), fortifies him with command from all kind of weakness and sinfulness (Surah Muhammad 47:2) and is filled with spiritual light and power (Surah Al-Hadid 57:28).

Thus fulfilling the Prophet(SAW) saying that “the best of Allah’s servants are those who when seen remind one of Allah”.


ANY DIFFICULTY?
Attaining Spiritual perfection is more or less living your normal life but with a vigilant mind and carefulness in behaviour in respect to that which Allah approves and prohibits.“Abstinence from world is not forbidding what is allowed nor wasting wealth but,it is that,one be not pre-occupied with mundane activity in one’s hand but more firmly to what is in the hand’s of Allah” said Prophet Mohammed (SAW).

Allah says in Surah An-Najm 53:39-“And man shall have nothing except what he strove for”
It means that you must prepare your mind and have positive disposition to this matter,let there arise a burning desire for it in your heart,then Allah will make it easy for you (Surah Ar-Rad 13:11).
The Prophet (SAW) have spelt out the sacrifice as follows “there is no wisdom like organizing and no abstinence like self restraint and no distinction like good manner.”

Therefore try to organize your life,abstain yourself and display good manner.A little effort and sacrifice is required but the returns are enormous and everlasting according to the following!

Sissie: Shaytan can't appear in the form of prophet muhammad (SAW) in a dream.
the question is did the people really dream about the prophet?

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:“Whoever sees me in adream will see me when he is awake; the Shaytaan cannot take my shape.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6592; Muslim, 2266)

Narrated Anas:The Prophet said,“Whoever has seen me in a dream then no doubt,he has seen me,for Satan cannot imitate my shape. [Sahih Bukhari -Book #87, Hadith #123]

Narrated Abu Huraira:I heard the Prophet saying,“Whoever sees me in adream will see me in his wakefulness,and Satan cannot imitate me in shape.”Abu ‘Abdullah said, “Ibn Sirin said,Only if he sees the Prophet in his (real) shape.’”[Sahih Bukhari - Book #87, Hadith #122]

tbaba1234: Lol... That is not the one...many people are having dreams.

May Allah protect us.

Amin,thumma ameen.Many duas that have no basis in the sunnah of the prophet(pbuh).

Is it solatul Fatihi? Cos I learnt it the person received it from the prophet in a dream.Some sects like Tijania said that if this dua is recited 3times,it's equivalent to the Quran.

iskalamong: Please, my friend choosed futa 1st choice and second choice. He wanted to go for computer science but was afraid so he used industrial chemistry as first choice and computer science as second choice in FUTA. He scored 254 (64%) in jamb and 72% in post jamb. Now he is considering changing his course to computer science and he wants to know his chances with computer science considering his score, and also wants to know their last year departmental cut-off mark and lastly whether it is possible for him to change to computer science.
Please help. All realible information is will be greatly appreciated and is of great importance.
Thanks!

Why is he afraid in the 1st instance? Even after scoring a high score in utme,he ought to have changed his course then.But there is still hope,He can still change to computer science when the change of course form is out.He is good to go with that score.

truthman2012: It is dangerous waiting till the day of judgement when there will no chance to make any ammendment.

The acid test is: any religion which its adherents cannot call on God directly and get an answer like the prophets of old is not from God.

If you have to contact ANY jinns in any form to get spiritual help, it is certain you are not calling on the true God. Every of God's people is expected to have direct access to God, not through a medium spirit. This is the exact thing babalawo (herbalists) do.

Spirits are either angels or demons (evil spirits). There is nothing like good jinns or bad jinns. A demon is a demon.

The reason Muhammad recognized jinns was because he was from a family that worshiped Jinns. Muttaleb, Muhammad's grandpa and AbduAllah, his father were practicing Jinn Religion. This culture was incorporated into islam by Gabriel, who claimed to be God's angel.

How can you say you believe in One-God but contact him through demons. May God deliver you from bondage.

Has anyone seen the sick, the blind, the dead getting miracles in the name of allah? When did God stop performing miracles through believers? Today, born again Christians do cast out demons in Jesus name. I have done that before and can do it anytime the need arises. This is an assurance that God is on our side.

Satan cannot not do miracles but magic. How can he make the blind to see when he cannot create spare eyes? He is not a creator. He cannot create ant.

Somebody had fever, Muhammad could not pray for him but directed him to take water from Zamzam well. A well dug by Muttaleb his grandpa, a jinn worshiper. Is that how the true prophets operated? What spiritual power did he possess as God's prophet?

Is there more?
