 Islam › The Virtues Of The Month Of Sha'ban by Lukgaf(op): 12:41pm On Mar 19, 2020 |
Alhamdulilah, the Glorious month of Shaaban is here.https://image.shutterstock.com/image-vector/islamic-month-name-arabic-calligraphy-600w-1289088967.jpg What is Shaaban? Sha’bān is the eight-month of the Islamic lunar calendar; the month that precedes Ramadan. The literal meaning of the word Shaban is something that is successively developing or uninterruptedly increasing. This is a month in which the Prophet incessantly fasted. ‘A’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (pbuh) said, “I never saw the Prophet fasting (voluntary) fast more in any other month than that of Shaban. He used to fast throughout the month.” [Al-Bukhāri]When the Prophet was asked why fasted so much in Sha’bān; the Prophet replied; “There is a month between Rajab and Ramadān of which many people are neglectful; it is the month in which deeds are raised (for evaluation) to the Lord of the universe, and I love to be in a state of fasting when my deeds are taken up for evaluation.” [an-Nisā’i] From this hadith we learn that … The Prophet fasted consistently in Shaban. The reason for that fast being that deeds are elevated for evaluation, and the best condition to have one’s deeds evaluated in in a state of fasting. Here we keep in mind the words of the Prophet pertaining to the special nature of the ‘ibādah of siyām/fasting; “Every deed of a human being is for himself except fasting; it is for me and I will personally reward that”. [al-Bukhāri] Importantly, this month, let us avoid argumentation, harbor no hate and rather be more loving. Wise ones have said; “imbue yourselves with the qualities of Allah”. The qualities of the Divine and those characteristics pleasing to the Divine are indeed the best qualities to imbibe and to nurture. Allah is al-Wadūd /Most Loving and a believer should imbibe these qualities and manifest it at a human level. It is in this spirit that our beloved Prophet (pbuh) advised; The Prophet said, The peak of reasoning after accepting faith in the Divine is being affectionate towards people, and doing good to others, irrespective of their being pious or sinful. [Bayhaqi] Finally, Take heed of the lessons of Shaban Our learned admonish us; قد مضى شهر رجب، ودخل شعبان، وفاز من فاز بالتقرب والاستعداد في رجب لرمضان، ودخل شعبان والناس عنه غافلة Rajab has passed and Shaban has entered; successful are those who successfully prepared themselves with proximity to Allah in Rajab for Ramadān; but now that Shaban has entered, people are heedless/neglectful. On the night of Nisf Shaban, leading to the special month of Ramadan; let us acknowledge that the right thing to do is always the best thing to do. Let us do all forms of good with the best of intentions; and avoid any form of evil in all of its dimensions. Realize that our deeds are evaluated and that we will be held accountable. Let us not be argumentative and hateful, let us rather be loving and compassionate. In keeping with the name of Shaban, the ever-increasing, May Allah increase us in goodness and heed the Prophetic advice (as documented by Tibrani); “Do not engage in any act unless it is good; do not say anything unless it is beneficial.” Source: Extracted from Islamcity May Allah make us witness many Sha'aban and make righteousness in the month easier for us (Ameen) 11 Likes |

| Islam › Islamic Hygienic Practices: The Secret For Defeating The Covid-19 by Lukgaf(op): 12:26pm On Mar 19, 2020 |
Islamic law requires Muslims to ritually purify their body before prayinghttps://img.medscape.com/thumbnail_library/dt_200221_covid_19_coronavirus_800x450.jpg The recent Netflix docuseries “Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak” illustrates how the Islamic ritual washing, known as “wudu,” may help spread a good hygiene message. The series focuses on Syra Madad, a Muslim public health specialist in a New York hospital, who takes a break to say her prayers at the Islamic Centre of New York University. Before entering the prayer room, Madad stops to perform wudu, and washes her mouth and face as well as her feet. Islamic law requires Muslims to ritually purify their body before praying. As a scholar of Islamic studies who researches ritual practices among Muslims, I have found that these practices contain both spiritual and physical benefits. Ritual purity The Prophet Muhammad left detailed guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives, including how to pray, fast and stay ritually pure. This guidance is available in collections called the Hadith. According to Islamic law, there are minor and major impurities. Minor impurities involve urinating, defecating and sleeping, among other practices. A person of Muslim faith is supposed to perform a ritual washing of their bodies before praying to get rid of these minor impurities. Wudu is to be performed, as was done by the Prophet Muhammad, in a specific order before praying, which takes place five times a day. Before each prayer, Muslims are expected to wash themselves in a certain order – first hands, then mouth, nose, face, hair and ears, and finally their ankles and feet. While washing with water is required when it is available, if a person has limited access to water, then a Muslim is permitted to symbolically “cleanse” their hands and face with dust or sometimes sand or other natural materials. A Quranic verse says: “And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, God is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.” A hadith from the prophet also describes the Earth as a purifying agent if there is a scarcity of water for washing. Major impurity is defined in Islamic texts as occurring after sexual activity or when a woman completes her menstrual cycle. A Muslim woman should not pray during her menstrual cycle. To purify oneself after such an impurity, a Muslim is required to take a shower, called “ghusl.” A person needs to wash their entire body, from head to toe, including their hair. Spiritual actions Preparing for prayer by washing one’s body using water can be a deeply spiritual act for Muslims. Islamic studies scholar Paul Powers argues it isn’t “empty ritualism,” but an embodied practice that helps the individual centre on an inner religiosity. Similarly, another Islamic studies scholar, Marion Katz, explains in her 2002 book “Body of Text” that the importance of wudu lies in its symbolic cleansing. It does not always cleanse the parts of the body that are “physically involved in the pollution act.” Ritual purity is different from hygienic practices, although Islam also emphasizes good hygiene. Muslims take care to wash often, including using water after going to the bathroom. Aligning with public health guidelines In view of the coronavirus risk, Muslim leaders around the world, including in the United States, have aligned their religious opinions with public health experts. Muslim institutions have begun to recommend that people make sure to wash their hands for 20 seconds with soap before doing wudu. Emphasizing that wudu alone cannot prevent the virus from spreading, other Islamic institutions recommend that mosques supply extra soap and hand sanitizer near the washing area. They have issued rulings to cancel Friday prayers, urged Muslims to wash their hands with soap regularly, refrain from touching their face and practice social distancing. While people have cleared local store shelves of hand sanitizers, wipes, cleaning supplies, gloves and masks, basic hygiene practices remain the best way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and other viruses. At this time, Islamic practices that emphasize the purity of body could help reiterate the importance of hygienic practices along with the use of soap or hand sanitizer, to reduce one’s vulnerability to the virus.

| Islam › What Increases And Lessens Iman (piety)? by Lukgaf(op): 3:50pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
Iman (faith) is the AFFIRMATION OF THE HEART, the UTTERANCE OF THE TONGUE, and the ACTIONS OF THE LIMBS.What increases Iman can be grouped into 3: 1. To know Allah, the Most High by His Names and Attributes; for the more a person increases his knowledge of Allah and His Names and Attributes, the more his faith increases. This is why one finds the scholars who have greater knowledge of Allah’s Names and Attributes than others, they are stronger in faith in this regard 2. Reflecting upon Allah’s Universal and Legislative Signs, because the more a person looks at the Universal Signs i.e. (Allah’s) creation, his faith increases. Dhariyah 20-21 3. Plenitude of good deeds, for the more a person increases his virtuous deeds, the more his faith increases thereby, whether these deeds are verbal or practical; for Allah’s Dhikr (remembrance) increases the faith quantitatively and qualitatively; and prayer, fasting and Hajj, all these (practical deeds) also increase the faith quantitatively and qualitatively. As for the causes that lessen the Iman, we have the followings; 1. Ignorance of Allah’s Names and Attributes causes the faith to diminish, because when a person’s knowledge of Allah’s Names and Attributes is deficient, his faith will also be deficient. 2. Refraining from reflecting upon Allah’s Signs, both Universal and Legislative, as this causes the decrease of faith, or at least, causes it to be stationary with no increase. 3. Committing acts of disobedience, because acts of disobedience have detrimental effect on the heart and upon the faith. “The adulterer is not a believer while he commits adultery…” Bukhari and Muslim 4. The fourth cause of decrease in faith is abandoning the acts of obedience. If the act of obedience is obligatory, and one abandons it without lawful excuse, then that is a deficiency (in faith) for which he is blameworthy and deserves punishment. On the other hand, if the act of obedience is non-obligatory, or it is obligatory but he abandoned it with a valid excuse, then it is a deficiency for which he is not rebuked, nor deserves punishment. This is why the Prophet declared that a woman is deficient in her intelligence and in her religion; and he explained that the cause of deficiency in her religion is because when she has her menstrual period, she does not pray nor fast. Even though she is not held blameworthy for abandoning prayer and fasting at the time of menstruation – she is in fact commanded to abandon them -, but due to the loss of deeds which a man performs, she becomes deficient compared to him in this respect. Culled from Fatawa arkanul islam by Sheik Uthaymeen) My brothers and sisters, check yourself! You only feel in the sky when you listen to music (Obesere, Davido, Pasuma, Osupa, Olamide, …) SUBHANALLAH! but when they play Quran, you say - off it! Don’t let me commit sin…and you think you’re not committing sins for listening to music?! If Islamic gathering is not mixed with music you will be sleeping… guy that lecture is boring! SUBHANALLAH! You pray every day but soothsayers/fortune-tellers are your second God that determine your way of life… SUBHANALLAH! Are you practising Islam that Prophet Muhammad brought?! Increase your Iman with good deeds now, death is inevitable. A moment can make someone become a dweller of Hell fire and this moment can make you dweller of Paradise. May Allah make good deeds easy for us as we strive to practice true teachings of Islam. Source: Fiqh Class Foundation 13 Likes 2 Shares |

| Islam › Greediness And Its Treatment by Lukgaf(op): 3:24pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
Allah says: “Do not cast your eyes on those things which We bestowed as an enjoyment to different kinds of people.” (Suratul Hijr , verse 88)https://jamiat.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/greed_and_desire.original.png The Nature of Greed The engrossment of the heart with wealth, etc. is hirs or greed. Greed is the root of all ailments. It is therefore proper to describe it as the mother of all maladies. This is because all disputes and strife are the consequences of this greed. It is because of greed that court cases and counter court cases take place. If people did not have the greed for wealth, no one would trample the rights of others. Even the cause of immorality is the greed for pleasure. The root of Akhlaaq-e-radheelah (base and despicable qualities) is also this very greed. Those who have truly recognized Allah maintain that the source of these qualities is pride. And pride is synonymous to the greed for name and fame/position/power . Thus, the source of pride is greed as well. It is the natural temperament of man that even if he possesses two valleys filled with wealth, wherein gold and silver are flowing like water, he will still desire a third. The more the demands of greed are satisfied, the greater will be its demands – like a person afflicted with a rash. The more he scratches, the worse the rash becomes. Allah Ta’aala says: “Does man ever receive whatever he desires?” (Suratun Najm, verse 24) In other words, it is not possible for man to fulfil all his desires. It is for this reason that the greedy person has no peace of mind. Nothing but the soil [grave] will satiate his greed. This is because before a wish can attain fulfilment, another develops. When he is not content with his lot, his heart desires that this should be fulfilled and that should be fulfilled, and so on. It is obvious that it is most difficult to fulfil all these desires and wishes. The result of non-fulfilment of a desire is frustration and worry. Although the greedy person may outwardly have children, wealth and everything else, his heart is perpetually afflicted with anxiety. Treatment 1. Reduce expenditure so that there is no concern to earn more. 2. Do not concern yourself with the future and as to what would happen. 3. Bear in mind that the greedy and covetous person is always in need and held in contempt. Source: https://jamiat.org.za/greed-2/ 4 Likes

| Islam › He Is Married And Has Wet Dreams; Should He Entertain Any Fear? by Lukgaf(op): 3:10pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
QuestionAnswer Praise be to Allah. Allah, may He be glorified, has created the desire for intercourse in humans, in order to fulfil a number of worldly interests, including increasing the numbers of humankind, whom Allah may He be glorified, has made successive generations on earth, in order to populate and develop it according to the divine decree. He, may He be glorified, has created different ways to disperse this stored energy (desire), one of which is wet dreams. It is a natural means of dispersing sexual energy in both genders. The individual does not have any control over the emission of maniy through wet dreams; rather it is emitted as a result of human nature, and the individual will not be called to account for that, as we have explained previously in question no. 9208. Once it is established that wet dreams are part of human nature, is it possible that the Shaytaan may play a role in that? What appears to be the case is that that is indeed possible, even though none of the hadiths that speak of that are saheeh. In fact there is a da‘eef (weak) hadith with an isnaad that stops at Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) according to which he said: No Prophet ever had a wet dream; rather wet dreams come from the Shaytaan. Narrated by at-Tabaraani in al-Mu‘jam al-Kabeer (11/225), and by Ibn ‘Adiyy in al-Kaamil (3/92-93) via Ibraaheem ibn Ismaa‘eel ibn Abi Habeebah, from Dawood ibn al-Husayn, from ‘Ikrimah, from Ibn ‘Abbaas. This is a da‘eef (weak) isnaad, as has been explained previously in question no. 151719. Based on that, we may say that some wet dreams are a natural occurrence, because of an excess of maniy in the body, so the wet dream occurs as a natural means of getting rid of this excess; and some occur as the result of the Shaytaan toying with the individual when he is asleep. There are some comments of al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer which support that. He said, in the context of discussing a wet dream of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): It seems that this issue should be discussed further. We may note that if what is meant by wet dream is the dispersal [of maniy] due to natural causes, there is nothing wrong with it. But if what is meant by wet dream is the result of the tampering of the Shaytaan, then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was protected from that. Therefore it was not possible for the Prophet to experience insanity (junoon – which may be caused by jinn), but it was possible for him to experience unconsciousness. In fact, according to the hadith narrated by ‘Aa’ishah in as-Saheeh, he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did ghusl after falling unconscious on more than one occasion; the hadith concerning that is well known. End quote from al-Fusool fi Seerat ar-Rasool (p. 302), Mu’sasat ‘Uloom al-Qur’an, Maktabat Daar at-Turaath. Based on that, there is no need to be anxious about this matter, or to believe that the adhkaar are not protecting you from the Shaytaan toying with you, because these wet dreams may be the result of an excess of maniy in the body, so it is being got rid of through wet dreams. Even if it is caused by the tampering of the Shaytaan, this is not something for which a person is to be blamed or called to account. However it should be noted that if a person has a wet dream and finds maniy on his clothes after waking up, in that case he must do ghusl to remove janaabah. If someone has a wet dream, and checks his clothes after waking up, but does not find any wetness, then he does not have to do ghusl, as we have explained in question no. 114586. And Allah knows best. Source: Islam Q&A 9 Likes 2 Shares

| Islam › The Month Of Rajab: Is It Permissible To Fast? by Lukgaf(op): 9:39pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
AlhamduLilah, we are now in the month of Rajab and by the counting of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affair. today 27th February 2020 is equivalent to 3rd of Rajab, 1441Hijriyyah.The month of Rajab is one of the sacred months of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36] The sacred months are: Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram. Al-Bukhaari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan. These months are called sacred for two reasons: 1- Because fighting therein is forbidden unless initiated by the enemy 2- Because transgression of the sacred limits therein is worse than at other times. Hence Allaah has forbidden us to commit sins during these months, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36] Although committing sins is haraam and forbidden during these months and at other times, in these months it is more forbidden. Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said (p. 373): In the phrase “wrong not yourselves therein”, the pronoun may be understood as referring to twelve months. Allaah states that He has made them a measure of time for His slaves, which they may use for worshipping Him, and thank Allaah for His blessings, and they serve the interests of His slaves, so beware of wronging yourselves therein. The pronoun may also be understood as referring to the four sacred months, and this forbids them to wrong themselves in those months in particular, as well as it being forbidden to do wrong at all times, because it is more forbidden at this time, but it is worse at this time than at others. End quote. Secondly: With regard to fasting the month of Rajab, there is no saheeh hadeeth to indicate that there is any special virtue in fasting all or part of this month. What some people do, singling out some days of Rajab for fasting, believing that they are better than others, has no basis in sharee’ah. But there is a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months (and Rajab is one of the sacred months). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fast some days of the sacred months and not others.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2428; classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef Abi Dawood. Even if this hadeeth were saheeh, it indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months. So if a person fasts during Rajab because of this, and he also fasts in the other sacred months, there is nothing wrong with that. But singling out Rajab for fasting is not right. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (25/290): As for fasting in Rajab in particular, the ahaadeeth concerning that are all da’eef (weak), and in fact mawdoo’ (fabricated). The scholars do not rely on any of them. They are not among the da’eef ahaadeeth which have been narrated concerning virtues, rather most of them are fabricated and false. In al-Musnad and elsewhere there is a hadeeth which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined fasting the sacred months, namely Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, but this has to do with fasting during all of them, not just Rajab. End quote. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Every hadeeth which mentions fasting in Rajab and praying during some of its nights is false and fabricated.” End quote from al-Manaar al-Muneef, p. 96 Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in Tabyeen al-‘Ajab (p. 11) There is no saheeh hadeeth that would count as evidence which speaks of the virtue of the month of Rajab, or that speaks of fasting this month or part of it, or of spending any particular night of it in prayer. Shaykh Sayyid Saabiq (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Fiqh al-Sunnah (1/282): Fasting in Rajab is no better than fasting in any other month, except that it is one of the sacred months. There is no report in the saheeh Sunnah to suggest that there is anything special about fasting in this month. Whatever has been narrated concerning that is not fit to be quoted as evidence. End quote. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer. He replied: Fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer is a bid’ah (innovation), and every bid’ah is a going astray. End quote. Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 20/440.

| Islam › Can I Recite Adhkar In Yoruba, Hausa Or Other Languages Other Than Arabic? by Lukgaf(op): 9:28pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
Praise be to Allah. Firstly: The point of the greeting of salaam and the adhkaar that are prescribed is the meanings, aims and impact, and undoubtedly that may be achieved by means of a language other than Arabic. Hence the scholars ruled that saying these things in Arabic is not a must. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to giving the greeting of salaam in a foreign [non-Arabic] language, there are three opinions, the third of which is that if a person is able to say it in Arabic, it is not valid in another language. I [an-Nawawi] say: the correct view is that it is valid to give the greeting in a foreign language, if the other person will understand it, regardless of whether or not he is able to speak Arabic, and the response must be given, because it is still regarded as a greeting and prayer for peace. And Allah knows best. End quote from Rawdat at-Taalibeen (10/230). They also said that this is applicable when mentioning the name of Allah at the time of slaughter. Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If he mentions the name of Allah, may He be exalted, in a language other than Arabic, it is valid even if he is able to speak Arabic, because the aim is to mention the name of Allah, and that is possible in all languages. This is in contrast to saying the takbeer (“Allahu akbar”) in the prayer, where the aim is to say the exact wording (in Arabic). End quote from al-Mughni (13/260). But what should be done, if the speaker and the one whom he is addressing both know Arabic, is that the greeting of salaam and the response should both be given in Arabic. The scholars stated that for an Arab to speak any language other than Arabic unnecessarily is makrooh (disliked). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ash-Shaafa‘i said: … The language that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, chose is the language of the Arabs. He revealed His holy Book in Arabic, and made it the language of the last of His prophets, Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). For this reason we say that anyone who is able to learn Arabic should learn it, because it is the preferred language, even though it is not haraam for anyone to speak any other language. Ash-Shaafa‘i regarded it as makrooh for the one who knows Arabic to say “Bismillah (in the name of Allah)” in any other language, or to speak Arabic mixed with another language. What the leading scholars said was also narrated from the Sahaabah and Taabi‘een. End quote from Iqtidaa’ as-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (1/521-522). Secondly: And Allah knows best. Source: IslamQA 4 Likes |

| Islam › Value Your Time! by Lukgaf(op): 3:48pm On Feb 13, 2020 |
Time is the most valuable capital of a man. There can be no price that can be attached to time. In Surah Al-Asr, Allah Ta'ala takes an oath on time, “By time! Verily man is in loss.” This verse implies that those who do not value time are in a state of loss and destruction.[img]https://nationalpostcom.files./2018/01/timeobsessed.jpg?quality=80&strip=all&w=780[/img] A Hadith advises, “There are two bounties regarding which many people are deceived - good health and free time.” (Bukhari) So as we commence a new academic and working year, measures should be put in place to maximise our productivity and use our time wisely. The following points may be used as a guideline: Planning - Thorough planning helps one to schedule tasks and work systematically. Allocate time for one's family responsibilities, Deeni activities and relaxation. Strike a balance in one's routine. It is stated in the Hadith: “There is no intelligence like effective planning.” (Ibn Majah) Plan your work and then work your plan. Avoid time wasting - Avoid activity that has no benefit like unnecessary use of social media should be cut out. Make commitments, not just promises - With a commitment, action takes place promptly and with steadfastness. A promise is delayed for the future and action is uncertain. Aim to improve - Keep improving your time management and increase your capacity to use time wisely. “Whoever's 2 days are the same (pass by without improvement) is in deception.” (Hilyatul Awliya) May Allah assist us to make judiciously our time for Allah (Ameen) Extracted from Darul ihsan poster 9 Likes 1 Share |
| Islam › The Universe Came Into Existence After Not Existing by Lukgaf(op): 3:39pm On Feb 13, 2020 |
QuestionAnswer Praise be to Allah. The meaning of these two lines of poetic verse is sound, and there are no reservations concerning them. They refer to three things: 1. That the universe came into existence and was created after not existing. This is undoubtedly true, for everything other than Allah is created, and came into existence after having not existed, as Allah, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs” [az-Zumar 39:62]. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to saying that a created thing had no existence, and only Allah brought it into existence, that is true. Moreover, He is the Creator, Lord and Controller of all that exists, and nothing happens except by His power, His will and His creation. He is the Creator of all things, may He be glorified and exalted. Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (2/27). He also said: Thus whatever conclusions people of reason and understanding of different nations, philosophers and others, reach on the basis of sound reasoning reinforce and support the knowledge that the Messengers brought, against those who introduced into the Messenger’s religion that which contradicts his teachings. The knowledge that is acquired on the basis of the religious texts, in addition to knowledge based on sound reasoning, is also a refutation of what the heretical philosophers suggested, that some of the universe is eternal and without beginning as Allah is eternal and without beginning. Rather the view that the universe is eternal and without beginning is something that all people of reason agree is false. It is not only the Muslims who reject this view; rather the followers of all other religions, and the majority of non-Muslims, such as the Magians and different groups of polytheists, the polytheists of Arabia, the polytheists of India and of other nations, and the majority of prominent philosophers, all acknowledge the idea that this universe came into existence after it did not exist. Indeed, the majority of philosophers acknowledged that God is the creator of everything, and all the polytheist Arabs acknowledged that Allah is the Creator of all things, and that all of this universe is created, and that Allah is its Creator and Sustainer. Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (5/565). 2. Allah, may He be exalted, created the universe not because He needed it. This is undoubtedly true, for Allah, may He be glorified, is Self-Sufficient and everything other than Him is in need of Him, as He, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning): “O mankind, you are those in need of Allah , while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy” [Faatir 35:15]. Shaykh Ibn Sa‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (687): Here Allah, may He be exalted, addresses all people and tells them about their real situation and that they are in need of Allah in all ways. They are in need of His bringing them into existence; were it not for His bringing them into existence, they would not exist. They are in need of His giving them physical strength, faculties and senses; were it not for His giving them these things, they would not be able to do any deeds. They are in need of His providing them with nourishment, provision and blessings both visible and hidden; were it not for His bestowing His bounty and kindness, and making things easy for them, they would not have attained any provisions or blessings. They are in need of His warding off harm from them, averting troubles and relieving them of stress and hardship; were it not for His warding off these things from them, relieving them of distress and removing hardship from them, their hardships and calamities would have been ongoing. They are in need of His taking care of them in all ways. They need to turn to Him, love Him, worship Him and devote their worship to Him alone. If He does not help them and guide them to do that, they will be doomed and they will become corrupt spiritually, psychologically and in all their affairs. They are in need of His teaching them what they do not know and guiding them to that which is in their best interests. Were it not for His teaching them they would not have learned; were it not for His guiding them, their situation would not have been rectified. They are inherently in need of Him in all ways, whether they realise some of those ways or not. But the one among them who is guided is the one who constantly realises and is aware of his need for Allah in all his religious and worldly affairs, and he beseeches Him and asks Him not to leave him to his own devices for even the blink of an eye, and asks Him to help him in all his affairs, bearing this in mind at all times. Such a one is more deserving of complete help from his Lord and God, Who is more compassionate towards him than a mother towards her child. “while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy” that is, He is the One Who is completely self-sufficient in all ways, so he has no need of what His creation needs. That is because of the perfect nature of His attributes, all of which are attributes of perfection and majesty. One aspect of His being self-sufficient is that He meets all the needs of creation in this world and the hereafter. “the Praiseworthy” in His Essence, in His names because they are most beautiful, in His attributes because they are most sublime, and in His deeds because they are based on generosity, kindness, justice, wisdom and mercy, and He is praiseworthy in His commands and prohibitions. So He is praiseworthy for what He is and what He does, and He is praiseworthy for being self-sufficient. End quote. At-Tahhaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his famous book al-‘Aqeedah: That is because He has power over all things, and all things are in need of Him; everything is easy for Him, and He has no need of anything. There is none like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. End quote. 3. What may be understood from the words “and if He willed not to do that, He would not have started it” is that Allah, may He be exalted, does what He chooses to do, and there is nothing that He could be obliged to do, as the philosophers suggested. If He so willed, He would not have created the universe, but He created it by His will and choice. This is true and is supported by the religious texts, such as the verses (interpretation of the meaning): “Effecter of what He intends” [al-Burooj 85:16] “And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses” [al-Qasas 28:68]. And Allah knows best. Source: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/88033/the-universe-came-into-existence-after-not-existing 9 Likes |

| Islam › Ruling On Celebrating Valentine by Lukgaf(op): 3:20pm On Feb 13, 2020 |
Every February 14 is globally recognized as Valentine's day. What is an Islamic ruling on it? Should we participate?Firstly: Without doubt, Valentine’s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated until after the Romans became Christian. This festival became connected with the saint known as Valentine who was sentenced to death on 14 February 270 CE. The kuffaar still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely. Secondly: It is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar’i issues which are to be based on the sound texts. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of sharee’ah, clear way and rituals of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way” [Al-Quran al-Maa’idah 5:48] In essence, Muslims should not do any of their rituals at the time of their festivals; rather the day of their festival should be like any other day for the Muslims. The Muslims should not do anything specific in imitation of them. ( Majmoo al-Fataawa (25/329). ) Also, many scholars have issued fatawah stating that it is haraam to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Among them is our noble Sheikh: Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) who was asked: In recent times the celebration of Valentine’s Day has become widespread, especially among female students. It is a Christian festival where people dress completely in red, including clothes and shoes, and they exchange red flowers. We hope that you can explain the ruling on celebrating this festival, and what your advice is to Muslims with regard to such matters; may Allaah bless you and take care of you. He replied: Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not permissible for a number of reasons. 1- It is an innovated festival for which there is no basis in Islam. 2- It promotes love and infatuation. 3- It calls for hearts to be preoccupied with foolish matters that are contrary to the way of the righteous salaf (may Allaah be pleased with them). It is not permissible on this day to do any of the things that are characteristic of this festival, whether that has to do with food, drinks, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else. The Muslim should be proud of his religion and should not be a weak character who follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. I ask Allaah to protect the Muslims from all temptations, visible and invisible, and to protect us and guide us. End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (16/199) Say no to Valentine!

I don't know if you came across an hadith in those articles where who collects, gives riba and works with riba-based were cursed. Muslim (1598) narrated that Jaabir said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it, the one who writes it down and the two who witness it, and he said: they are all the same.

Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam ‘ala rasuulillaah It is not allowed because it helping one another in sin and transgression. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible to work in a riba-based institution even if a person is working as a driver or guard, because that means that he is working for the riba-based institution, which implies that he approves of it. For whoever disapproves of a thing would not work to support it, so if he is working for it that implies that he approves of it, and the one who approves of something that is haraam is also guilty of sin. But if he is directly involved in recording transactions, writing, sending and depositing etc, then he is undoubtedly dealing directly with something haraam. It was proven in the hadeeth of Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba, the one who pays it, the two who witness it and the one who writes it down. He said: “They are all the same.” Fataawa Islamiyyah. 2/401 The Standing Committee was asked about a man who worked as a night guard for one of the banks, and he had nothing to do with the bank’s transactions – should he continue with this job or leave? They replied: It is not permissible for a Muslim to work as a guard for banks that deal with riba, because this is a kind of cooperating in sin and transgression, and Allaah has forbidden that as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “but do not help one another in sin and transgression” [al-Maa'idah 5:2] Most of the banks deal with riba, so you have to look for a halaal means of earning a living, not this way. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam ‘ala rasulillah Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “Whoever keeps a dog, a qiraat from his good deeds will be deducted every day, except a dog for farming or herding livestock.” (in another narration 2 qiraats) Al-Bukhaari (2145) Muslim (2978, 2943) See Sharh Muslim by al-Nawawi, 10/342; Fathul-Baari, 5/9. This imply that it is not permissible for a Muslim to keep a dog, unless he needs this dog for hunting, guarding livestock or guarding crops. Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.” Ibn Maajah (3640) Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah. This indicate that it is haraam to keep a dog, except for those which were exempted. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said in Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen, 4/241 As in necessity, it is permissible to keep dog for guarding houses so long as that is outside the city and that there is no other means of guarding the house. The presence of difficulty requires that allowances be made to effect ease because Islamic law is built upon achieving ease not upon imposing hardships. Therefore, if a house is in the middle of the city there is no need to keep a dog to guard it, so keeping a dog for this purpose in such situations is haraam and is not permitted, and it detracts one or two qiraats from a person’s reward every day. The Muslim should not imitate the kuffaar by running with the dog or touching its mouth and kissing it, which causes many diseases. Sharh Muslim, 10/236, Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/246.

ISHAQ AKINTOLA: Professor of Islamic Eschatology, Muslim Activist, Human Rights Activist, Social Commentator, Advocate of Dialogue. PHILOSOPHY: I remain oppressed until the hungry are fed, the naked clothed,the sick healed and the homeless sheltered. BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD Ishaq Akintola was born in Obaloran Compound, Ile-Ife. Ishaq’s mother died when he was just three years old. From the very tender age of five years, crowds used to listen to Ishaq as he recited the Qur’an at the Ile-Ife Central Mosque, Enuwa where he was placed on top of a table for all to see. He finished the Qur’an at the early age of nine years. He also learnt more Arabic under Ustadh Abdul Rauf (Ketefe) at Ojoyin, Ile-Ife. HIS EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER He was soon overtaken by his childhood love for Islamic education and he left his hometown, Ile-Ife, for the famous Ma’had Arabic Institute of Nigeria in Ibadan. His university education began with a Certificate course in Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Ibadan where he excelled and got a Distinction plus the Arab League Prize. In 1975 he traveled to Cairo, Egypt, where he studied Simultaneous Translation (Arabic/English/French) at the Al-Azhar University which is the first university in the world. He returned to Nigeria in 1979 and obtained his Masters in Arabic and Islamic Studies as well as Master of Philosophy at the University of Ibadan in 1981and 1983 respectively. He bagged his doctorate degree (Ph.D) at the University of Ilorin in 1990. Ishaq Akintola worked as a teacher of Arabic at the Oshowusi Memorial Grammar School, Iloko, Ilesha (1972 – 1974), and at the Islamic High School, Orita-Bashorun, Ibadan (1980 – 1984). He became a lecturer at the Lagos State University (LASU) in 1984. HIS JIHAD AND DA‘WAH ACTIVITIES Is-haq Akintola is a born jihadist. Even as a young student in the Arabic Institute, Ibadan (Ma’had), he led fellow students in a protest. In Cairo, he led students of al-Azhar University to confront science students who mocked and cheated students of Arabic and they won their freedom. After returning to Nigeria, he joined Dr. Beko Ransome Kuti, Femi Falana and others in the Campaign for Democracy to confront military dictators. He established two Islamic organizations: the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) for the protection and promotion of the rights of Muslims in Nigeria and beyond and Tele-Dawah for the preaching of Islam on television, radio and through public lectures and tracts. Today he is the Director of the Muslim Rights Concern, Ambassador of Tele-Dawah and Coordinator of Muslims Against Aids (MAIDS). Is-haq Akintola is always in the news either on television, on radio or on the pages of newspapers. Akintola is, no doubt, an icon of great treasure, a jihadist of repute. Ishaq Akintola led Nigerian Muslims in the agitation for a work-free Friday. He also featured prominently in the struggle to establish Shari’ah by engaging Christians in debates on radio and television. His deep knowledge of the Bible enabled him to defeat all his opponents. He has led Lagos Muslims to demonstrate against Israel and to protest against hijab restrictions. Akintola’s boldness knows no bounds. He is a friend of the oppressed, a champion of the masses. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO PEACE AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN NIGERIA Dr. Akintola has used the two Islamic organizations established by him, namely, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC, an Islamic human rights organization) and Telly Dawah (a preaching outfit) to promote peace and religious tolerance in Nigeria. Through MURIC, Akintola organized several workshops and seminars to enlighten fellow Muslims and Nigerians in general about the peaceful nature of Islam. MURIC has repeatedly condemned terrorism and all forms of violence. The press statements of MURIC which are broadcast on radio and television as well as published in newspapers have been able to douse tension in the country on many occasions. Dr. Akintola’s weekly appearance on television since the early nineties and his other personal appearances as guest on other programmes and on different television channels have contributed immensely to bridging the gap between Muslims and adherents of other religions in Nigeria. His second organization, Telly Dawah, has organized several programmes where both Christian and Islamic scholars engage one another in friendly discussions to promote interfaith understanding. Tele-Dawah has also printed tracts for free distribution to Nigerians particularly on the thorny issues of ethnicity and religious bigotry. HIS SOCIAL LIFE Akintola is a warm and friendly person. He is an extrovert to the core. His strong sense of patriotism motivated him to participate in virtually every progressive activity in his vicinity. In recognition of his commitment to the healthy growth of his immediate community, he was made the Chairman of the Community Development Association (CDA) of the Frontline Zones of Victory Estate, Iba, in Lagos State where he resides. His keen interest in ensuring success in the fight against crime led him to join the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Ojo Division, Lagos State where he became the treasurer and later Vice Chairman. HIS FAMILY LIFE Dr. Akintola is happily married with children. Source: https://ishaqakintola.com/about-akintola/?fbclid=IwAR3wDYCy8mnHY18iIRoay2SDTj6YPaki40ntu_4yTB6jRnwihbTa64YUJEc Lalasticlala |

Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam ‘ala rasuulillaah It is not haram to eat onion and garlic. Onion and garlic have offensive odours and it is obligatory to keep the mosque free of offensive odours and to prevent the one who has such an odour from coming to the mosque or staying in it. So, whoever want to eats them, let him cook them to death before eating to avoid annoying other worshippers and angels in the mosque because angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam. Al-Bukhaari (5452) and Muslim (564) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever eats garlic or onions, let him keep away from us, or keep away from our mosque and stay in his house.” According to a version narrated by Muslim: “Whoever eats onions or garlic or leeks, let him not come near our mosque, for the angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant let him not approach our mosque and annoy us with the smell of garlic.” Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (27). Muslim (567) narrated that ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people, you eat two plants which I find to be nothing but repugnant, this onion and garlic. I remember the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), if he noticed their smell coming from a man in the mosque, he would issue orders that he taken out to al-Baqee’. Whoever eats them, let him cook them to death.” It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa’ (2/365): It is Sunnah to protect every mosque from all kinds of dirt, filth, mucus, nail clippings and hair removed by clipping the moustache, shaving the head or plucking the armpits, because the mosques were not built for that. It is also Sunnah to protect it from offensive smells such as onion, garlic, leeks and similar things, even if there is no one in the mosque, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “the angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah); and he said: “Whoever eats from these two plants, let him not come near our place of prayer.” and according to another report: “…let him not come near our mosques.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi who said: It is hasan saheeh. With regard to the validity of prayer when there is an unpleasant smell in the mouth, it is valid but it is makrooh (disliked). If the prayer is offered in the mosque and this smell is obvious to such an extent that it annoys other worshippers and the angels, then it is haraam. Al-Bukhaari (806) and Muslim (870) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant (i.e., garlic), let him not approach our mosque.” May Allah grant us understanding of His religion Source: Fiqh class |
