| Islam › Zakatul Al-fitr And Zakah On Wealth? by Lukgaf(op): 6:10am On Apr 05, 2024 |
As Muslims, we are required to belief the five pillars of Islam, and one of these is giving zakat (zakat on wealth). It's important to note that zakat al-fitr (also known as Sadaqatul-fitr), which must be paid at the end of Ramadan, is different from the regular zakat on wealth. Brothers and sisters, let us not forget that the time for giving zakat al-fitr is fast approaching. Remember that this must be paid before Eid al-Fitr, so make sure you fulfill this obligation in a timely manner. May Allah accept our good deeds and make it easy for us to fulfill our duties towards Him. Ameen. 13 Likes 2 Shares

| Islam › At What Age Should A Child Start Fasting In Ramadan? by Lukgaf(op): 8:01am On Mar 22, 2024 |
Fasting is not obligatory for young children , until they reach the age of adolescence. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The pens have been lifted from three: from one who has lost his mind until he comes back to his senses, from one who is sleeping until he wakes up, and from a child until he reaches the age of adolescence.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud, 4399; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud) Nevertheless, children should be told to fast so that they can get used to it, and because the good deeds that they do will be recorded for them. https://islamqa.info/en/answers/65558/at-what-age-should-a-child-start-fasting-in-ramadan 5 Likes 2 Shares

This week, let's review the 34th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RadhiyaAllahu ‘anhu) who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) say,Brief Commentary from Hadith Commentary Stages for enjoining the good and forbidding the evil: - Conditions of the evil are all present - Ascertain if the person is ignorant of the matter or not - Change the evil with your hand (not always first stage to start with) -Condemn the evil with your tongue if you can’t change with your hand -Condemn/hate the evil in your heart if you have no access/ability to condemn it or change it with your tongue or limbs -If it is better to condemn the evil with your tongue before changing it with your limbs then condemning it with the tongue takes precedence e.g. telling a person to stop drinking before physically taking the alcohol from them - Condemning with the heart entails leaving the gathering which partakes in this. If you really hate the evil, then you would naturally want to leave Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Condemning with the heart is belief that this is an evil. If a heart loses the knowledge of what is good and condemning what is evil, then Iman is lifted from the heart” - If you don’t condemn the evil with your heart then it can lead to a black heart -Benefits of condemning the evil with the heart: Preserves the Iman in the heart Pushes a person to condemn it with other means as they really hate it, so they would try their hardest to condemn it in the best way possible -If there is no fear of greater evil, but you fear the person will not benefit if you enjoin the good and forbid the evil then there are different opinions on what you should do, but the majority opinion is that we should still enjoin the good and forbid the evil because Allah is testing us through this and because we are commanded to do so. If we don’t do it, then this action will end up being neglected. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Umar said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say when breaking his fast: “Dhahaba al-zama’ wa abtalat al-‘urooq wa thabata al-ajr in sha Allaah (Thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is certain if Allaah wills).” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2357; al-Daaraqutni, 25. Ibn Hajar said in al-Talkhees al-Habeer (2/202): al-Daaraqutni said, its isnaad is saheeh. The du’aa’ “Allaahumma laka sumtu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu (O Allaah, for You have I fasted and by Your provision I have broken my fast)” was narrated by Abu Dawood, 2358.

| Islam › "The Onus Of Proof Is On The Claimant And The Taking Of An Oath Is On The Denier by Lukgaf(op): 8:20am On Mar 08, 2024 |
This week, let's review the 33rd hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here Ibn ‘Abbas (RadhiyAllahu ‘anhu) said that the Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasalalm) said:(A hasan hadith which al-Bayhaqi and others have related. Parts of it is in Bukhari and Muslim) A brief commentary, from Hadith commentary - This is a major hadith in Islamic jurisdiction and in trying to resolve problems - Judging between a people is a major role of the prophets (‘alayhim assalam). It is mentioned explicitly in the Qur’an with regards to Sulayman and Dawud (‘alayhima assalam), in Surah Al-Anbiyaa’ [21:78] - The shari’ah came to protect the wealth, life, dignity, and honour of others. This hadith clearly indicates the role Islam plays in trying to preserve the rights of others - Studying the hadith in detail will give an insight into how the shari’ah protects the rights of others and upholds justice between the people Understanding this hadith shows the comprehensiveness of this religion - This hadith shows the reality of this life and that there are wolves that seek to take people’s rights, and this life is not where everyone will live in harmony as there will always be problems - This hadith derives the principle “Innocent until proven guilty”, so if someone makes a claim against you, you are automatically given the benefit of the doubt until he brings evidence - Bringing proof was usually done by bringing witnesses, however in our time, many more things can be added to proof e.g. fingerprints, video recording, DNA - Conditions for a witness in a court of law: --Muslim (except in the case of judging between two non-Muslims, when a non-Muslim can be a witness) --Adult --Of sound mind --Ability to understand and recognise things and knows right from wrong --Moral integrity i.e. fulfils all obligations and stays away from the major sins and from things that break his integrity (defined by customs of the people) - Being a witness in a court of law is a communal obligation - It is from the major sins to lie in a court of law - Once the prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) was lying down/reclining and listing the major sins e.g. being rude to parents, shirk, then he sat upright and said, “false testimony”. He repeated it so many times that the sahabah said they wished he stopped speaking [Reported by Bukhari & Muslim] - When it comes to Islamic punishments, the shari’ah ensures the people try everything to prevent the punishment from taking place. If there is any form of doubt, then the punishment is not implemented Islamic court of law procedure: --Claimant makes a claim against a defendant --Judge goes to the defendant and asks him if the claimant is telling the truth --If the defendant denies, then the judge goes to the claimant and asks him for proof --If the claimant has no proof for his allegation, then the defendant has to swear an oath that the allegation is not true --If the defendant refuses to take the oath, then the Hanafis and Hanbalis say the judge takes the claimant’s claim forward, but the Shafi’ees and Malikis say if he refuses, then the claimant has to make an oath that he is telling the truth, and if he refuses, then it is ruled in favour of the defendant --A person may refuse to make an oath even though they are telling the truth because they do not want to bring Allah’s name in a petty matter --If the judge knows/feels that the defendant is guilty (due to non-definitive evidence e.g. testimony of witnesses) but he makes an oath pleading his innocence, then out of veneration of Allah’s name he is let off. We cannot let it reach a stage where Allah’s name is not venerated and people swear by Allah yet no one believes them 6 Likes 1 Share

| Islam › Ramadan 101 Class 3 - When Is Ramadan And Suggested Routine For Ramadan? by Lukgaf(op): 6:37am On Mar 08, 2024 |
In case you missed previous classes, see here Today (8th day of March) marks the 27th day of Shaaban, suggesting that Ramadan 1st will likely fall on Monday or Tuesday (Remember Hijra month is either 29 or 30). May Allah count us among those who will witness the glorious month in peace, wealth, and sound health (Ameen). As part of the preparation for this blessed month, it is recommended to highlight good deeds that could be done in advance, aiming to draw maximum benefits from Allah. One effective way is to set a routine or timetable. Below is a presentation adapted from Darul Ihsan, offering a practical and suggested routine for Ramadan.

The goal is to maximize rewards during the month.) 1. Eat Sohur: Partake in the early morning meal (Sohur), a Sunnah practice that contains abundant blessings and rewards. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said, "Eat Suhor, because in it, lies great blessings" (Bukhari, Muslim). 2. Observe Tahajjud: Plan your time to perform 4-8 Rakahs of Tahajjud and make Dua during this time. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said, "The Dua in the darkness of the night (after performing Tahajjud) is readily accepted by Allah" (Tirmdhi). 3. Observe Fajr: Perform Fajr Salah with congregation at the Masjid and recite morning Adhkars. Engage in Dhikr till sunrise. 4. Perform Ishraq: Engage in Quran recitation and perform 4 Rakahs Ishraq after sunrise. 5. Sunnah of Duha: Perform 4 Rakahs Duha when the sun is brightly up. 6.

| Islam › Ramadan 101 Class 2 - What Invalidates Fasting by Lukgaf(op): 8:09am On Mar 01, 2024 |
Last week, we covered the significant and benefit of fasting in the month of Ramadan. See here in case you missed it. This week, let's talk about things that invalidate fasting. Things that invalidates the fast are of two types: 1- Some of the things that invalidate the fast involve things coming out of the body, such as intercourse, deliberate vomiting, menstruation and cupping. These things that come out of the body weaken it. Hence Allah has described them as being things that invalidate the fast, so that the fasting person will not combine the weakness that results from fasting with the weakness that results from these things, and thus be harmed by his fast or his fast no longer be moderate. 2- And some of the things that invalidate the fast involve things entering the body, such as eating and drinking. If the fasting person eats or drinks, he does not achieve the purpose of fasting. (Majmu’ al-Fatawa, 25/248) Allah has summed up the things that break the fast in the verse where He says (interpretation of the meaning): “So now have sexual relations with them and seek that which Allah has ordained for you (offspring), and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your Sawm (fast) till the nightfall.” [al-Baqarah 2:187] In this verse Allah mentions the main things that invalidate the fast, which are eating, drinking and intercourse. The other things that break the fast were mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in his Sunnah. There are seven things that break the fast, as follows: - Intercourse - Masturbation - Eating and drinking - Anything that is regarded as coming under the same heading as eating and drinking - Letting blood by means of cupping and the like - Vomiting deliberately - Menstruation and nifaas Read more here 14 Likes 1 Share |
| Islam › Re: No Harming Nor Reciprocating Harm by Lukgaf(op): 7:27am On Mar 01, 2024 |
Some principles extracted from this hadith: Harm is repelled as far as capable, which helps in achieving the principle “prevention is better than intervention” e.g. Islamic punishments, jihad Harm is not repelled by a similar harm e.g. repel harm of poverty by gaining haram income Repelling harm is more onerous than bringing good (with some exceptions) e.g. forbidding of gambling or drinking alcohol Major harm can be repelled by a minor harm e.g. The prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) allowing the bedouin to urinate in the Masjid rather than scaring him and causing him pain as well as making the urine splash everywhere Harm for a specific (person or group) is tolerated to avoid general harm (to the masses) e.g. reckless doctor prevented from practicing to repel the harms of what would happen to the patients |
| Islam › Re: No Harming Nor Reciprocating Harm by Lukgaf(op): 7:25am On Mar 01, 2024 |
Brief Commentary from Hadith commentary This hadith is evidence of the miraculous nature of the speech of the prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam), in that he used to say very short sentences which carry very great meanings This hadith contains a very important maxim of fiqh A maxim of fiqh is a principle used to derive rulings. It is unique in the sense that muftis/scholars can derive rulings directly from the maxim. Maxims of fiqh also make us aware of the philosophy and essence of the shari’ah There are five major maxims of fiqh that the shari’ah is based upon. These are: -Actions are but by their intentions - Difficulty brings ease - Certainty is not removed by doubt - Harm is to be removed - Customs are a legislation It can be seen from the five major maxims above that the shari’ah is built upon making things easy and good for the people. Many of the movements/groups that have gone astray have done so due to their lack of knowledge of the maxims of fiqh and the essence of the shari’ah The fourth major maxim of fiqh is derived directly from this hadith A powerful method of speech was used in this hadith in that although this hadith is a statement (though the English translation may not show it to be so), the understanding of it is a commandment. This is similar to when we say to someone JazakAllah khair (Allah give you good). We are saying it as a statement, but a supplication is intended (May Allah give you good). There have been numerous interpretations of this hadith. Three major interpretations are: - There shall be no harming an individual but benefitting yourself at the same time, and there shall be no harming an individual without bringing benefit to yourself - There shall be no harming an individual who is not harming you, and there shall be no harming an individual in an unislamic way who has harmed you - There shall be no harming others, and there shall be no bringing harm to yourself (by harming others) |

| Islam › Islam Enjoys Fairness And Open-mindedness In Communication by Lukgaf(op): 6:47am On Mar 01, 2024 |
As Muslims, it is essential for us to uphold the values of fairness, open-mindedness, and positivity in our interactions with others. Allah reminds us in the Quran, "O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives" (Quran 4:135). This verse emphasizes the importance of fairness and impartiality in our judgments. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Be merciful to others and you will receive mercy. Forgive others and Allah will forgive you" (Musnad Ahmad). This Hadith places the significance of approaching others with kindness and understanding, rather than jumping to conclusions or being judgmental. It is unfair to assume negative intentions from others without seeking clarification or understanding their perspective. Allah instructs us in the Quran, "And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like manner]" (Quran 4:86). This verse encourages us to respond to others with kindness and generosity, fostering positive communication and mutual respect. Let us change our attitudes and cultivate a culture of fairness, open-mindedness, and compassion in our interactions with others. If we do so, we will build stronger bonds of trust and understanding within our communities, and collectively work towards a better and more harmonious society. May Allah guide us all to follow the path of righteousness and grant us the wisdom to communicate effectively and empathetically with one another. 12 Likes |

| Politics › Subsidized Food Distribution By Nigeria Custom by Lukgaf(op): 12:11pm On Feb 24, 2024 |
On January 30, 2024, here on NL, I wrote about the effect of fuel subsidy removal on the price of food and proposed what I believe our government should do in response. You can read more about it here: It is commendable to see that the Nigeria Customs, an agency under the federal government, is selling some seized rice at a subsidized price to citizens with their National Identification Number (NIN), ensuring that each person can only purchase one bag. I encourage the federal, state, and local governments to adopt this method for distributing palliatives going forward. This approach can be extended to other staple foods such as beans, garri, semovita, etc. With proper monitoring, such as digitizing the distribution process, targeted assistance can reach those in need. I think wealthier individuals who can afford to purchase food at market prices are unlikely to join the queue, ensuring that the assistance goes to the intended beneficiaries. Each local government could establish around 10-20 distribution centers where people can access subsidized food, with each NIN holder eligible for this assistance once per month. Other funds should be allocated to infrastructure development, and the government should refrain from propagandizing. If we are prepared to take action, Nigeria will be great! What do you think?

| Islam › Re: Ramadan 101 Class 1 - Understanding Ramadan by Lukgaf(op): 6:49am On Feb 23, 2024 |
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.” [al-Baqarah 2:185] This blessed month is a great opportunity for goodness, barakah (blessing), worship and obedience towards Allah. It is a great month, a noble season, a month in which hasanaat (rewards for good deeds) are multiplied and in which committing sayi’aat (bad deeds) is more serious than at other times. The gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are shut, and the sinners’ repentance to Allah is accepted. In essence, in Ramadan, we uphold the five pillars of Islam with renewed dedication: we fast, pray, recite the Quran, give charity, and reflect. Fasting during Ramadan offers a multitude of benefits, enriching us spiritually, physically, and mentally. As we abstain from food and drink, we nourish our souls, cleanse our bodies, and strengthen our minds. Ramadan holds profound historical significance, marking the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The virtues of Ramadan are manifold, as emphasized in the hadiths and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). As we anticipate the arrival of Ramadan, let us set intentions and goals to make the most of this sacred time. May our preparations be filled with sincerity, reflection, and anticipation for the blessings ahead. 4 Likes |
