Good day my people, I have mostly been a passive user of this thread for the past few months and you guys have been on a tremendous support, that's why I want to share my success story.

I applied for my study permit on December 10th last year and i was waiting for my visa to come out on time but when it didn't come out, I emailed the two Consular emails that you guys provided on monday January 20th requesting for quick processing of my visa application. They replied me immediately that my request has been submitted few hrs later on same day.

On Tuesday January 21st, another email was sent to me that my visa application is been considered. On Wednesday, I got the email that my visa is ready. I tracked it and it was indeed ready.

My people, I picked up my visa today and I have been approved 2yrs postgraduate study permit. For who may have this questions, I'm going in for Postgraduate program in cape town, that's all I can say.

If you have applied for your Visa, especially study permit, please feel free to contact the them through that email that were provided on here two weeks ago, I'm sure you shall hear good news soon as well.

A points-based immigration system could be in place two years earlier than originally planned, according to reports.

Home Secretary Priti Patel is reportedly set to tell her cabinet colleagues that Britain should implement an Australian-style system before the end of the year - to coincide with the end of Britain's transition period with the EU.

A government source told the Daily Express: "We need to deliver change and businesses need to be prepared for uncontrolled migration of low-skilled workers to end this year.

"There is a clear drive for talented and skilled workers from around the world to come to the UK, but we also need to see a reduction in the number of unskilled workers entering the UK and that's why this will be coming to an end."

The reports come as Boris Johnson called for the UK to be the "investment partner of choice" for Africa and said his government would put "people before passports".

He said: "Change is coming and our system is becoming fairer and more equal between all our global friends and partners, treating people the same, wherever they come from.

Allaah says: “Say: O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” (Q39:53).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Our Lord comes down to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains, and says, ‘Who will call upon Me so that I may answer him? Who will ask Me so that I may give to him? Who will seek My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?’” Muslim, no. 758

Family planning allows people to attain their desired number of children and determine the spacing of pregnancies. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of infertility (this fact sheet focuses on contraception). This is prohibited if it means to completely eradicate the ability to have children in the case of either the man or the woman, which is known as sterilisation, so long as there is no necessary reason (i.e. medical reason). However, it is permissible if it is means child spacing; to space pregnancies in order to achieve this important purpose, so that pregnancy will not adversely affect the mother or her children.

Historically, across many tribes in Africa tribal marks have become a way of identification, beautification and protection. Tribal marks are created using sharp instruments such as razor blades, knives or glass and in some cases, flesh is cut from the skin to create a gash, which later heals and leaves a permanent pattern on the body while tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment.

Question

My question is about cartoons that contain animate beings. Is it permissible to take them from websites and share them in chat rooms? Please note that the person who is putting it in the chat room is not the one who drew the cartoons. Some of these cartoons depict a good idea that it is difficult to convey in mere words, and they may sometimes be more effective in conveying the idea. Is simply sharing them permissible?

Thank you Ustaaz... May Almighty Allah increase you in knowledge and understanding, and reward you abundantly. We would love to learn more from you anytime, because many people are going astray everyday.

Question

I have read on your website answers to questions having to do with abrogated soorahs of the Holy Qur’an, specifically Soorat at-Turaab. You quoted various hadiths, which you said are saheeh, which mentioned the abrogated verses. What prompted my question is the fact that there is a difference of opinion concerning the texts, so how can the hadiths be saheeh, when they mention texts that differ from the soorah?

TheExecutioner:
What does that even mean? I'm really disappointed o! What will the truth do to me?

If it will harm me, then why are you worried about causing harm to an ordinary kuffar? Doesn't the quran say in 8:55 that allah hates the kuffar? Or are you perhaps afraid that the quran is only making empty threats?

Why not just answer OP's question and reveal the identity of the speaker in Surah 1:1-5?

O boy see as dem carry this topic go bury am inside the islamic section!

So nl's MOOslim mods want to discourage people from commenting on this topic because no sane person wants that islamic confession on their profile abi? Really disappointed with you lot. It seems Seun Osewa has given you too much freedom to abuse your privileges as moderators on this forum.

Nobody, not even Rashduct4luv, Lukgaf etc can answer this because it is too embarrassing for them!

TheExecutioner:
Amazing. You mean all the time that this thread has been standing, the only thing you can do is make childish and schoolyard insults? Isn't there any keyboard jihadi or dawahist who can answer this simple challenge?
Rashduct4luv Lukgaf OladimejiRufai aka IMESS, Patrioticman007 etc how far na ? Are you all in hiding?

Silence is the best answer for somebody like you. The fact is you are not ready for truth.

Rashduct4luv:
Any names/attributes not found in the Qur'an and Sunnah as being ascribed to Allah should be done away with.

Allah ascribes sight and hearing to himself. Nothing is similar to Allah and He is attributed with Hearing and Sight

Biography of Ibn Taymiyyah


Question
I want to know about the biography of Ibn Taimiyah.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Ibn Taymiyyah is Taqiyu Ad-Deen Abul 'Abbaas Ahmad Ibn 'Abd Al-Haleem Ibn 'Abd As-Salaam Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Harrani Al-Hanbali . He was born on Monday the 10th of Rabee' Al-Awwal 66l A.H./22nd of January 1263 A.C in Harran in Iraq. His father fled with his family from Harran to Damascus in the year 667 A.H./1268 A.C. out of fear of the Tatars who invaded the land of Islam and were very close to Harran. In Damascus, the center of Islamic studies at that time, Ahmad Ibn Taymiyyah followed the footsteps of his father who was a scholar of Islamic studies by studying with the great scholars of his time. He completed his studies when he was a teenager, and at the age of 19, he became a professor of Islamic studies, well versed in Quranic studies, Hadeeth, Fiqh, theology, Arabic grammar and scholastic theology, etc., He started giving Fataawa on religious matters without following any of the traditional schools: the Hanafi, Maaliki, Shaafi'i and Hanbali.

He defended the authentic Prophetic tradition by arguments which, although taken from the Quran and the Sunnah, were unfamiliar to people of his time. The freedom of his polemics led some narrow-minded people to falsely accuse him of all kinds of heretical beliefs. Therefore, he fought against heretical innovations in religion which were widely spread during his time everywhere in the Muslim world, especially certain acts and beliefs of some Sufi orders, like worshipping saints, visiting their graves, and throwing themselves in the fire. His attack on the Sufis caused him a lot of troubles with the authorities whose rulers were under the influence of certain Sufi leaders. However, Ibn Taymiyyah's fight was not limited to the Sufis and the people who followed the heretical innovations only; but also against the Tatars who attacked the Muslim world and almost reached Damascus. The people of Syria sent him to Egypt to urge the Mamluke Sultan, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria to lead his troops to Syria in order to save it from the invading Tatars. When he realized that the Sultan was reluctant to do what he asked him, he threatened the Sultan by saying: " If you turn your back on Syria, we will appoint a Sultan over it who can defend it and enjoy it at the time of peace ". He took part in the battle of Shaqhab near Damascus against the Tatars, which took place during the month of Ramadan and he gave a Fatwa to the army to break their fast so that they would become strong when fighting against their enemy, in the same manner like the Prophet Muhammad did during the battle of the conquest of Makkah. The Muslims won the battle against the Tatars and they drove them away from Damascus and all Syria. Ibn Taymiyyah's courage was expressed when he went with a delegation of scholars to talk to Qazan, the Khan of the Tatars, to stop his attack on the Muslims. No scholar dared to say anything to him except Ibn Taymiyyah who said: " You claim that you are Muslim and you have people calling the Aathaan, judges, Imaams and shaykhs but why did you invade us and come to our country? Your father and your grandfather, Hulago, were non-Muslims, yet, they did not attack the land of Islam; rather promised not to attack it and they kept their promise. But you promised and broke your promise. " This entire Jihaad against the enemies of Islam did not help Ibn Taymiyyah with the scholars. The authorities put him in jail many times until he died in jail because of his courage and free progressive opinions on many legal and social issues which angered his opponents, the followers of the Orthodox Schools of law. However when Ibn Taymiyyah had the chance to punish his opponents among the scholars who caused him all kinds of trouble and put him in jail many times, he showed the utmost of magnanimity and forgave them when Sultan An-Naasir Qalawun gave him the chance to punish them. Ibn Taymiyyah said: " If you kill them you will never find scholars like them. " The
Sultan said: " They harmed you many times and wanted to kill you! " Ibn Taymiyyah said: " Whoever harmed me is forgiven, and who harmed the cause of Allah and His Messenger, Allah will punish him. " The Muslim historians, like Ath-Thahabi , Ibn Katheer , Ibn Al-'Imaad Al-Hanbali and many others praised Ibn Taymiyyah and considered him as one of the greatest scholars of Islam of all times. Ibn Taymiyyah died in jail in Damascus on Sunday night 20th Thul-Qi'dah 728 H./26-27 September 1328 A.C. The people of Damascus, who held him in great honor, gave him a splendid funeral which was attended by an estimated 200,000 men and 15,000 women.
Despite all the troubles that he had in his life, as discussed earlier, Ibn Taymiyyah was able to write many books and pamphlets on all branches of Islamic knowledge.

Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him explained the practices and customs of Sufism in multiple Fatwas. He gathered all these Fatwas in one volume entitled Kitaab At-Tasawwuf.

Although Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him praised some Sufis, he was not one of them. He believed that the Waliyys (allies of Allaah The Almighty) are pious Muslims, whether they are the poor, Sufis, scholars of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), scholars, traders, workers, emirs or governors. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allaah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. Those who believed and were fearing Allaah.} [Quran 10:62]

Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him was not a Sufi even though he praised some Sufis. He also criticized those who claimed to be Sufis, for example, Al-Hallaaj and Ibn ‘Arabi. He declared some Sufis as people of Bid‘ah (religious innovators) and Zindeeqs (persons professing Islam and hiding disbelief). Scholars who are competent researchers did not consider some people like Al-Hallaaj, to be Sufis.

His student Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, compiled a list of the works of Ibn Taymiyyah which totaled around 350 works. May Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness be upon him.

Allah knows best.
