Perhaps you have not recited Suratul Khaf today. Why not devote roughly 10 minutes to read it now?

Don't procrastinate!

BaarakaLlohu feekum

What is the ruling on prayer if a Muslim unintentionally wears impure clothing (najis) such as a thobe or shirt during the prayer, due to forgetfulness? Is it necessary to repeat the prayer or not?

Praise be to Allah.

If a Muslim man or woman prays in a garment on which there is some impurity (najasah), whether that garment is trousers, a shirt, a waist wrapper (izar), a sweater or anything else, and he did not remember that until after he had finished praying, then his prayer is valid according to the correct opinion. The same applies if he prays wearing an impure garment, but does not realise that until after he has finished praying. If he was unaware of that, that is also an excuse, like forgetting. So if he prays in an impure garment because he forgot or was unaware of it until he had finished his prayer, then his prayer is valid, because one day the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed wearing shoes on which there was some dirt. Jibril informed him of that, so he took them off and he did not repeat the first part of his prayer; rather he continued his prayer. This indicates that the first part of the prayer was valid. The same applies if a person does not realise that until after he has finished his prayer; his prayer is valid because of this hadith.

The same applies to one who forgets, and the same applies to one who finishes his prayer and completes it, because he forgot or was unaware that there was some impurity on his garment or shoes. In this case is prayer is valid, but if he remembers it during his prayer, and he takes off that garment, his prayer is still valid, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) took off his shoes, then he continued his prayer. So if there is any impurity on a person’s bisht (abayah or outer garment) or on his ghutrah or on his izar, and he takes it off, but he is still wearing a garment that covers his ‘awrah, and he takes off the izar or pants on which there is some impurity straightaway, his prayer is still valid. End quote.

Episode 33

In this week's episode of our mathematics class (episode 33), we dove deeper into the world of algebra and series. Starting on page 215 of the book "KA Stroud Engineering Mathematics with Dexter Booth", I walked through the process of deriving a general formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers using sigma notation. I also covered the rules for manipulating sums, making it easier for you to tackle similar problems on your own.

In the second half of the class, I introduced the concept of exponential functions, including the exponential constant e and how it relates to the exponential function. By the end of the episode, we had completed program F7 of our textbook, bringing us one step closer to completing the book. Don't miss out on next week's episode as we continue our journey through the beautiful world of mathematics.

Episode 1 - Why the class? | Why in Yoruba? | Number base system


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRW-Un4RAp0

Welcome to our new class! In the first part of today's topic, we discussed the various motivations behind teaching this class in Yoruba, our mother tongue. In the second part, we learned about the concept of number base systems and how to write and convert numbers between base 10 and other bases. We covered the process of converting numbers from base 10 to other bases, as well as the reverse process of converting numbers from other bases back to base 10.

What else if I don't no how to read can listen to it good as well?

Thanks for your interest. You can learn it. It's not very difficult..you can learn how to read Quran within a week if you're serious with it. So I strongly recommend you learn it!

But in interim you can get a translated copy and read the meaning in English or your preferred language; hoping that Allah is going to reward you.

But learn how to read Quran. It's very important to know how to as a Muslim. Shukran

Great, InShaAllah, I'll try and be sending us a reminder here.

Anybody can do it also.

Episode 32- The general term of the binomial expansions


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VsOlhjizIM


In this episode, I continued my explanation from frame 32 (program F7) - page 209. I derived the general term for Binomial expansions and described how to obtain specific terms in the binomial expansion using the general term. Also, I introduced the concept of sigma notation and how to use it.

Join this Qur'an reading challenge today! Reciting the Qur'an shouldn't just be reserved for Ramadan. Do you agree?

Even if you can't read a juuz/day, you can start with a smaller amount such as 1/2 or 3/4 of it, or even just a page or a line. Consistency and commitment are key.

Add Qur'an reading to your daily routine at a time that works for you. Remember, there are many benefits to reading the Qur'an (including the reward of good deeds). As the Prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will receive one good deed as ten good deeds like it. I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is one letter, but rather Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter."

As a rough estimate, here are some potential daily rewards for different amounts of reading:

1 line (36 letters) = roughly 360 good deeds
1 page (532 letters) = roughly 5,320 good deeds
5 pages (2,660 letters) = roughly 26,600 good deeds
10 pages (5,320 letters) = roughly 53,200 good deeds
20 pages (10,640 letters) = roughly 106,400 good deeds (one juuz/day). - I encourage this because you complere
Don't let the hours you spend online go to waste - use some of that time to earn rewards through Qur'an reading. Set a daily reminder and be consistent. May Allah make it easy for you. Ameen."

I encourage you to aim for reading 20 pages per day - this is roughly one juuz, and if you can commit to this daily, you will complete a Qur'an in one month!

Below are some of the benefits of reading the Qur'an, both spiritual and physical.

Spiritual guidance: The Qur'an is considered the Word of God in Islam, and it is believed to contain guidance and teachings for all of humanity. Reading the Qur'an can help believers to understand God's message and to live a more meaningful and purposeful life.

Personal growth and development:
The Qur'an encourages believers to develop their character and to become the best version of themselves. Reading the Qur'an can help one to reflect on their own behavior and to make positive changes in their life.

Increased knowledge: The Qur'an is a source of knowledge and wisdom, and reading it can increase one's understanding of the world and their place in it.

Improved mental health: Some studies have suggested that reading the Qur'an can have positive effects on mental health, including reducing stress and anxiety and increasing feelings of calm and well-being.

Physical health benefits: Some research has also suggested that reading the Qur'an can have physical health benefits, including reducing blood pressure and heart rate and improving sleep.

Reward in the hereafter: In Islam, it is believed that reading the Qur'an and acting upon its teachings will be rewarded in the afterlife. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said, "The one who reads a letter from the Qur'an will have a reward, and this reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that 'Alif, Laam, Meem' is a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter."

In Islam, envy (hasad) is considered a sin and is condemned in the Qur'an and hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). It is described as a feeling of resentment towards someone who has something that one desires, and it can lead to harmful actions or thoughts towards the person who is the object of envy.

The Qur'an describes envy as a characteristic of those who do not believe in God, and it advises believers to avoid envy and to instead cultivate qualities such as generosity and gratitude:

"Envy eats up good deeds just as fire eats up fuel. But Allah removes the effect of envy by His grace. Allah is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise." (Qur'an, 4:113)

"O you who have believed, do not let your wealth and your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers." (Qur'an, 63:9)

In hadith, the Prophet Muhammad said, "Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices on one another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but rather be servants of Allah and brothers." (Sahih Bukhari)

In summary, Islam teaches that envy is a destructive emotion that can lead to harm and division among people. It advises believers to avoid envy and to instead cultivate qualities such as generosity and gratitude.

Here are a few suggestions for how to deal with envy in a healthy way:

Recognize and acknowledge your feelings of envy: It is important to be honest with yourself about your feelings of envy. Acknowledge that you are feeling envious and try to understand the root causes of these feelings.

Practice gratitude: Focusing on the things that you have and are thankful for can help to reduce feelings of envy. Try keeping a gratitude journal or spending a few minutes each day thinking about the things that you are grateful for.

Cultivate contentment: Instead of always striving for more and feeling envious of those who have more than you, try to cultivate a sense of contentment with what you have. Remember that true happiness and fulfillment come from within, not from external possessions or achievements.

Practice compassion: Instead of feeling envious of others, try to look at their situation with compassion. Remember that everyone has struggles and challenges, and try to show understanding and kindness towards those who have what you desire.

Focus on your own goals and accomplishments: Instead of comparing yourself to others and feeling envious, focus on your own goals and accomplishments. Remember that you are on your own unique path, and strive to be the best version of yourself rather than trying to be like someone else.

Seek support: If you are struggling with feelings of envy that are causing you distress, consider seeking support from a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They can provide a listening ear and help you work through your feelings in a healthy way.

It's another Thursday. Please, remember to join us again tonight at 9:00 pm Nigeria time for our weekly online session tagged "Mathematics is fun, come and see its beauties" with the explanation (in Yoruba) of the popular mathematics book "KA Stroud Engineering Mathematics with Dexter Booth".

Hello, assalam aleikum, thanks for this information, the telegram link is not working again and also can you please send Dr Alaro audios to me, please reply me at mrsabdulazeez1@gmail.com

Here ma

In Islam, bid'ah refers to innovation in religious matters. The term means "innovation, novelty, heretical doctrine, heresy" linguistically. Many Muslims view Bid'ah as nothing bad. In this thread, you will understand why Bid'ah is not acceptable using a scientific approach. The post is credited to Abu Mar’yam Hanafi Abdulkadri.

In the Hadeeth narrated by ‘Aaishah (رضي الله عنها), who said, the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
“Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e the religion) that is not part of it will have it rejected.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fathu al-Baari, no. 2697).

The above Hadeeth should deter every reasonable Muslim from innovations of all kinds. Yet, some ignorantly blind-follow their sheikhs or Jama’ah or the society. The traditional Muslims would say: “That is what we found our fathers to be upon.”

Likewise, due to Western influence, we now have Muslims who apply philosophical concepts in interpreting the Qur’an and Sunnah, such that they only accept what their intellect agrees with. Worse still, the most unfortunate category are those who believe they can accept the message (Islam) while rejecting the Messenger (Sunnah) - i.e the Qur'aniyoon. They fail to realize it is practically impossible to enter Islam without treading the path of Sunnah.

Scientifically, it is safe to argue that Allah used the Sunnah (i.e. Hadeeth) to code the Qur’an, this is why all acts of worship which are not executed in accordance to the Sunnah would certainly bounce-back (rejected). To prove this very point, let us look into the following similitude scientifically:

1. Credit Card Recharge Code:
For instance, the code for recharging MTN card is 555*PIN#. Any attempt to alter the recharge code like using * 556 *or # 555 * instead of 555**, the card won't be recognized and the recharge operation is bound to fail. Thus, any Ibaadah (an act of worship) performed without the legislated Allah’s Code (i.e the Sunnah) will not reach Allah.

2. Automobile:
Most vehicles comprise an engine block and fuel tank. By a way of experiment, put engine oil in the fuel tank, and put petrol inside the engine, kickstart the vehicle and see if it moves. If the vehicle can’t move due to the wrong application of fluids, how do you think your Ibaadah will move to Allah without compliance with the Sunnah.

3. Medicine Dosage:
For instance, you complained of body pain to your Doctor and he prescribed for you 2 tablets of panadol - morning and evening. But you decided to take 5 tablets - morning, afternoon and evening. Please, what do you think will happen to you? And how will your Doctor react to the drug-abuse?

Same way, you kill your Ibaadah by acting contrary to the prescription (i.e the Sunnah) while being liable to Allah's punishment for disobedience.

4. Mathematics Formula:
In solving mathematical problems, you just have to apply the appropriate formula in solving the equations, otherwise, no matter how hard you try, if the formula isn't correct, you will surely miss the answer. There is no wuru-wuru or short cut. Similarly, there is no short-cut to Sunnah, the Sunnah represents the formula which a Muslim must apply in every act of worship (i.e Ibaadah), otherwise, it won’t be accepted by Allah.

Apart from the fact that each of the above operations won't work, it is still prone to damages and punishment. MTN may eventually bar your sim card after several attempts, your car engine may get knocked, you may die of a drug overdose, and your wrong mathematical formula may result in a fatality (especially in engineering and civil works).

It’s quite amazing when science students incline to Bid'ah as Bid'ah seems contradictory to most scientific principles. Truly, Allah alone guides whom He wills.

As far as Ibaadah (acts of worship) is concerned, good Intention does not justify wrong actions. Bid'ah such as Mawlid Nabiy, Salatul Faatih, Wazifa, Dhikru Jama'ee, Sunday-Sunday Asalaatu, white Fasting, Rajab fasting, Laylatul Qadri ceremony, Fidau prayer, public Tahajjud (outside Ramadan) etc should be avoided by all means.

In other words, two conditions are required for the acceptance of Ibaadah:

(i) sincerity of intention and
(ii) emulating the methodology of Allah's Messenger.
These two conditions are sacrosanct. A bird flies with two wings, if one wing is deformed, it can't go anywhere. Same way if your Ibaadah lacks any of these two conditions, it cannot rise to Allah. This is why one of the Salaf said:

“To perform few acts of worship in accordance to Sunnah is better than striving hard in innovations.”

Lastly, it is beautiful to end with a concise Yoruba adage that summarizes the points above. The adage states:
“Let’s do it the way we are asked to do it, so that it will be the way it is supposed to be.”
May peace be upon those who follow the guidance.

Sirseedorf:
Salam alaikum muslumi and muslimah.

I need your help and advice.

Ever since I lost my job, its been challenging for me to pray, in fact I lost interest in prayer. I feel like there's a venom of failure to submission in me, I feel like praying is useless, while I was working especially morning and afternoon shift I usually woke up around 2am for tahajjud, but everything changed the day I lost my job, I feel weak, lazy and fruitless to pray.

Please what should/can I do have to trust and believe in prayer like before.

Jumah Mubarak.....

Wa alekum salam waramotulah wabarakatuh. Keep praying! You will overcome this

Last night, I continued my explanation from frame 26 of book (program F7: page 207). I explained how to expand binomials using coefficients of the Pascal triangle. This process however could only be used to expand power with a positive integer (>=1). Via the relationship between Pascal triangle and Combination coefficients as discussed in the previous episode, I also showed how to expand binomials whose power is less than 1 (a negative integer or fraction).

No doubt, we have friends, teachers and colleagues among non-Muslims. We engage and collaborate when it comes to worldly affairs. We even congratulate them on their success. This is fine and humanly!

We have a lot of non-Muslim teachers we respect them a lot - we benefitted a lot from them in terms of knowledge and experience. We do not sever our relationship with them!

Also, we have a lot of non-muslims as friends and colleagues at work. We cherish and wish them well. We congratulate them when they achieve great things in life.

In essence, Islam enjoys being good to all the creatures of Allah - human beings, whether a Muslim or non-Muslims. Even animals!

However, when it comes to the issue of beliefs, Muslims are not to compromise. In Islam (as it is contained in other religions/beliefs), there are dos/don't and red lines we shouldn't cross. Some of them include things we are prohibited from doing such as celebrating any non-islamic festivals and wishing those doing them. This is not limited to non-Muslim festivals only. It also includes all the innovated festivals some Muslims celebrate, such as Mawlud Nabiyy, Islamic Calendar year, etc (you see some Muslims and I have made some threads condemning these too). For any festival to be Islamic, there must be evidence for it from the Holy book (Qur'an) or Sunnah! We celebrate both Eids because there are account for them!

Based on the above, congratulating the non-Muslims on their religious festivals is haraam because it implies that one accepts or approves of their rituals of kufr, even if one would not accept those things for oneself.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. . ."
[al-Zumar 39:7]

". . . This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion . . ."
[al-Maa'idah 5:3]

So to congratulate non-Muslims on their festival is forbidden if you're truly a Muslim. You can congratulate them on any worldly achievements so far it has nothing to do with their beliefs.

Also, it is haraam (forbidden) to accept invitations on such festivals, because this is worse than congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.

We ask Allah to make us steadfast, safe us hypocrisy and from displeasing our creator at the expense of His creatures (human beings) (Aameen).

Our dear brother on this section, Abu Abdillah, @Rashduct4luv created a thread on this topic before and it is still relevant today. Muslims should take note of it!

Muslims just don't celebrate. We have a legal way of life in Islam.
The basic principle for a Muslim is to follow (the Sunnah) and not introduce innovations. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to mankind): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’

32. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).” But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers’”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:21, 32].

Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

This verse states that everyone who claims to love Allah but is not following the path of Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is lying in his claim unless he follows the path or religion of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in all his words and deeds, as it is proven in al-Saheeh that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever introduces an action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.”

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/32

Celebration and supplication is part of worship in Islam. Muslims should find out the days and times when supplications are answered according to the ways of the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) instead of basing our hope on the crossover of a day to another day which has no proven specialty attached. Beware of charlatan clerics putting up posters for special new year transition Tahajjud prayers! Ask them where the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) whom we follow with regards to acts of worship did such prayers!

Some Muslims do not even know the Islamic calendar not to talk of the date! It shouldn't be only the 9th month of Islam (called Ramadan) that we have to focus on.

We urge all Muslims to avoid innovations and imitations!

Say no to new year prayer/Tahajjud, celebration, greetings and food. We can take life decisions or change our life pattern anytime hence hinging such on the turn of a year has no specialty attached!

We urge all Muslims to train themselves and their families more on Aqeedah and may Allah Grant us understanding!
