Lessons from the Hadith:

This Hadith highlights the importance of having trust in Allah and relying on Him for guidance and protection. It teaches that everything that happens is pre-determined by Allah and that seeking help from others is secondary to seeking help from Allah. The Hadith also stresses the importance of being mindful of Allah in both good and difficult times and the importance of patience and perseverance in achieving success and overcoming adversity. The message of the Hadith is that one should always maintain a strong relationship with Allah and have a complete trust in His plan for their life.

Read the commentary here: https://hadithcommentary.com/nawawi/hadith19/

On the authority of Abu Abbas Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) [riding on the same mount] and he said, “O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allah [alone]; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah [alone]. And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.” It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said it was a good and sound hadeeth.

Another narration, other than that of Tirmidhi, reads: Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity. And know that what has passed you by [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease.

Notes from the Adab Al-Mufrad Class of our Shaykh, Abu Naasir Ibrahim AbdurRauf, Session 202, held on Saturday, Rajab 13, 1444/February 4, 2023


Being truthful, honest, sincere, and straightforward is an obligation upon the Muslims. Stick to truthfulness in both your words and deeds. Do not be insincere or double-mouthed. Say things as they are. Be clear, true, and unambiguous in your words and actions.
Truthfulness or Honesty in Islam has to do with the mind (honesty in intention), the tongue (honesty in speech) and the limbs (honesty in actions). A person may be sincere in some but leave off the others. The Muslim must be completely truthful and honest.
The first beneficiary of this trait is the doer. Your mind will be clear and at peace. Not being true, to oneself and others, is a source of depression and sadness for many nowadays.

Be honest and truthful, for that leads to piety and righteousness, which then brings one to the Paradise. An individual continues to be upon this until the person is written with Allah as a Sideeq,. which is the highest station a person can attain after Prophethood.

Let us all go back and ponder. Are you clear that your intention is for Allah? Are you clear and truthful in your speech? Are you clear and sincere in your actions? Always be exact and say things as they are. When in doubt, be clear to your listeners that you are in doubt. When you don't know, say you don't know. Do not be given to confusion thereby causing confusion.

Be warned; keep away from lying. Lying means altering the reality. Again, this applies to the mind, the tongue, and the limbs. Beware of lying, as it makes one evil, wicked, and sinful. When you investigate evil characters - thieves, murderers, kidnappers, etc - you will realize that lying is a major trait of theirs. This wickedness leads to nowhere but the Fire. A person goes on lying until he is written as a Liar with Allah. Liars eventually deceive themselves, believe their lies, and become consumed by their lies.

A person is also a liar when he continues to spread the lies of liars. Many people will fall into this category. A large percentage of those who transmit news on the social media are liars. Do not become a liar by transmitting falsehoods.

We are already used to telling lies, under many guises. But lying is never appropriate, whether in seriousness or in a joke. Do not engage in the popular skits-making or comedy or entertainment as these involve lying and untruths. Leave these trades and know that a person who leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will provide something better. Do not also lie by promising your child a thing, and then not fulfilling the promise.

Be clear and straightforward. Allah will put His blessings in your transactions, rectify your deeds, and forgive your actions.

Assalamu Alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu

In Islam, the place where we pray holds a significant importance as it is where we stand before Allah, the Almighty. However, there are certain places that are considered forbidden to pray in. A hadith that was narrated by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah from Ibn ‘Umar, states that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade praying in seven places: garbage dumps, slaughterhouses, graveyards, the middle of the road, bathrooms, camel pens, and on top of the Ka‘bah. Nevertheless, this hadith is considered weak.

The places that are considered forbidden to pray in are discussed below:

Garbage Dumps: Places where garbage is thrown are considered impure, as they may contain impurities such as najasah. Furthermore, even if they are pure, they are considered filthy, and it is not appropriate for a Muslim to stand before Allah in such a place.

Slaughterhouses: These are places where animals are slaughtered, and they are contaminated with impurities, such as blood and filth. If there is a clean space in the slaughterhouse, it is considered valid to pray there.

Graveyards: These are places where there are graves, and it is not allowed to pray in them, as it may lead to resembling those who worship graves. However, it is valid to offer the funeral prayer in a graveyard. The Prophet Muhammad offered the funeral prayer for a woman who used to clean the mosque after she was buried in her grave.

The Middle of the Road: Praying in the middle of a road used by people is forbidden as it makes the way narrow and prevents people from passing. This can also be a distraction to the worshipper, as he will be so distracted that he will be unable to pray properly.

In conclusion, it is important to choose the right place to pray, as it affects the quality of our prayer. We must strive to find a clean, pure, and appropriate place to stand before Allah and offer our prayers.

In our weekly review of the book, "The Islamic Etiquettes of Using the Telephone", we next today is Chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the book.

These Chapters highlight the importance of being mindful of the duration and content of phone calls. It is recommended that every conversation has a suitable length and that one should avoid excessive chit-chat to avoid boring the person on the other end.

The caller should initiate the conversation with the Islamic greeting "As-Salamu Alaykum", which is considered the slogan of Islam and a symbol of peace and safety. It is considered obligatory for the person who hears this greeting to reply. This practice is based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who taught the manners of asking for permission to enter. The caller should give priority to this greeting over speaking and should not remain silent until the person called speaks to them.

It is considered ill-mannered for the caller to remain silent when the phone is answered, as this goes against the Sunnah and goes against the person calling being the one requesting something. Additionally, it is also ill-mannered to ask "Who is it?" when the phone is answered, and it is recommended to reply with one's name or how the person knows you.

It is also encouraged to end the call with "Assalam Alaykum" .

Finally, the chapter warns against using ambiguous descriptions when introducing oneself and using kunyas (honorifics based on one's child's name) instead of one's name or lineage. Imitating people who do not leave their name when calling can show a lack of manners and cause unnecessary worry to the members of the household.

In conclusion, the chapter highlights the importance of following proper Islamic etiquette during telephone conversations, including the use of the "As-Salamu Alaykum" greeting, avoiding excessive chit-chat and using proper introductions.

For the last episode, see here.

In Islam, a married woman retains her maiden name even after marriage. This was the practice during the time of the Prophet Muhammad, who referred to his wives by their father's names

A Muslim lady, even after marriage, is Islāmically called by her maiden name. This was the practice during the lifetime of the Prophet (sallallāhu'aleihi wa sallam). All his wives were called by no other than their fathers' names. Khadījah - his first - was bint (daughter of) Khuwaylid; Sawdā was bint Zam'ah; Aishah was bint Abībakr; Hafsah was bint Umar; Zainab was bint Khuzaimah; Safiyyah was bint Huyay; the other Zainab was bint Jahsh; Ramlah was bint Abī Sufyān; Juwairiyyah, et cetera, was bint al-Hārith.

So, the present-day practice of having a woman irresistibly change her surname to her husband's is indisputably western, and no doubt, uncommonsensical. This, according to scholars, is because should the woman get divorced or rather become widowed, she would be left with no other option than change it again. The standard of Islām, summarily, is that a woman, even after marriage, should bear the name of her father, as done our emulative forebears.

Whoever is able to practise this in his country should do so without hesitation. But, unfortunately speaking, there are instances where one might have to do what is rather obtainable where one lives.

The woman bearing her husband's surname is an official norm in Nigeria. In an organisation where this is required, she will have no other option than comply. That, invariably, will mean allowing necessity take charge. And as for those who feel the name change is replacement of the father's, we say that is incorrect, as the word, Mrs, means 'wife of', not 'daughter of'. Mrs Adekoya Ngozi, for instance, means Ngozi, wife of Adekoya, not daughter of...

Waooh looking forward to this

Similarly, starlink's availability in Nigeria brings hope for a more connected future, especially for students and those who have been limited by the high cost of internet access. I believe this will pave the way for affordable internet, making it possible for more individuals to have access to educational resources, including my Yorùbá mathematics classes. I'm looking forward to reaching a wider audience and sharing my knowledge with more students.

What do you think?

I'm happy to read Starlink has made its way to Nigeria, bringing an end to the frustration caused by subpar 2G providers claiming to offer 4G/5G services. Although the cost of the Starlink device may be high (around 200k), the quality-wise monthly subscription is relatively affordable, making it a viable option for many.

This arrival of Starlink is sure to shake up the market and force the competition, such as Uncle Yellow, Green, and Red, to step up their game.

How's it going?

For those who were unable to observe all the fasts during the previous Ramadan, it is still possible to make up for them. May Allah grant us the ability to observe Ramadan in good health, prosperity, and strong faith. Amen.

Baarakallahu feekum

When you have a bad dream, it is believed to be from the devil, so it is important to take certain steps to protect yourself as recommended in the Sunnah.

Below is the summary of what to do upon having a bad dream:

- Spit on your left three times

What does Spit mean: it is a form of spitting comprising mainly of air with little spittle

-Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan and the evil of what you saw

-Do not relate it to anyone

-Turn and sleep on the opposite side to which you were sleeping on previously.

Chapter 2

For chapter 1, check here

The second chapter of the etiquette of using the telephone focuses on the importance of considering the timing of a phone call and being mindful of the other person's schedule and commitments. The author references Islamic teachings, such as the Quranic verse from Surat an-Nur, which grants the person being visited or called the right to excuse themselves without resorting to lying.

Additionally, the author mentions the Prophet Muhammad's prohibition of travellers coming home to their families at night without informing them, in order to avoid inconvenience and maintain good relationships. The author emphasizes the importance of choosing a suitable time for a phone call and being understanding if the person you are calling asks to be excused or to speak at another time.

The chapter also includes an exception for public places or services that are open day and night such as hotels and rental services for travellers. These places can be entered without permission as they are open to anyone who needs them.

Overall, the chapter stresses the importance of good timing, being considerate of others, and maintaining good relationships in phone interactions.


Chapter 3

As for the ringing of the phone, the chapter discusses the etiquette of ringing someone on the phone or at their door. It advises being moderate in the number of times you ring, allowing enough time for the person to hear the ringing but not going overboard and annoying the person or those around them. The chapter also references a hadith (saying or action of the Prophet Muhammad) that states seeking permission should be done three times, and that it is done for the sake of the eyes, meaning to avoid causing any discomfort or inconvenience. The chapter also mentions that the manners of the Sahabah (companions of the Prophet Muhammad) when knocking on the Prophet's door were to use their fingernails and not to knock in a harsh manner. It also advises to use delicacy when operating doorbells and not to hold it down for a long time. Overall, the chapter emphasizes the importance of being mindful and considerate of others when making phone calls or visiting someone's home.
