When will our leaders think of all this and stop thinking of privatising Education in Nigeria like that Oyo Governor. #constituted authority

lalasticlala and mynd44 should answer this

When will our leaders think of all this and stop thinking of privatising Education in Nigeria like that Oyo Governor. #constituted authority

JOHANNESBURG - The Presidency has announced that government will introduce fully-funded free higher education for students from poor and working-class homes.

This will affect ninety percent of South African households. The programme will begin next year and be phased in over the next five years.

Eligible students will be funded through grants, not loans. The grants will include the full cost of tuition, study materials, meals, accommodation and transport.

There will also be no fee increases for students from households earning up to R600,000 a year during the 2018 academic year.

When will our leaders think of all this and stop thinking of privatising Education in Nigeria.

Give Muslim Sisters their Right


https://www.nairaland.com/4234441/give-muslim-sisters-right

A Muslim lady, Amasa Firdaus, who graduated from University of Ilorin and Nigerian Law School Abuja campus was barred from entering the ICC for the Call to Bar because she refused to remove her Hijab in defiance to the archaic and repugnant tradition and she was not called to Bar either.

This is the right time to put this archaic tradition viz a vis the Fundamental Human Rights to test. Justice must be seen to be done. This is a clarion call to all concerned stakeholders to rise to action and lend their supports for this movement. Hijab is not a threat to legal profession, Hijab is a fundamental right. How can we pretend to recognize Freedom of Religion as a right and take it away way with the other hand?

Section 38 of the constitution provides for right to freedom of religion as follows:
. (1) Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, PRACTICE and OBSERVANCE. (emphasis mine)

Assuming but not conceding that she was not discriminated against, insisting she removed her Hijab in order to gain entrance to the Hall which ultimately stopped her from being admitted to Bar is a clear infraction on her right to freedom of religion as provided under the above section and remedy can be sought in a court of law.

Also, there is a difference between law and tradition, with my little knowledge of law, I am confident to say that there is no LAW that clearly provides that during call to bar, women cannot cover their head. It is rather a practice or a tradition which should have outlived its usefulness.

If we all Muslims cannot stand for the truth to demand for Justice for Firdaus, Allah will ask us on the D-day

Scholarly Consensus: Definition, types and conditions
https://www.nairaland.com/4234418/scholarly-consensus-definition-types-conditions

Praise be to Allah.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

In linguistic terms, ijmaa‘ means resolve and agreement. 

In shar‘i terms, it means the agreement of the mujtahids of this ummah after the death of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) on a shar‘i ruling. 

By saying “agreement” we exclude differences of opinion; if there is a difference of opinion, even from one person, then we cannot say that there is ijmaa‘. 

By saying “the mujtahids” we exclude the common folk and those who follow or imitate scholars; it does not matter whether they agree or disagree. 

By saying “this ummah” we exclude the consensus of others, which carries no weight. 

By saying “after the death of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)” we exclude their agreement at the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him); ijmaa‘ or consensus at that time does not count as evidence, because evidence is established by the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), whether in word or deed or by approval. Hence if a Sahaabi says “We used to do” or that they (i.e., people) used to do such and such at the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), this is indicative of the approval of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), according to consensus. 

By saying “on a shar‘i ruling”, we exclude their agreement on a rational or human ruling, which has nothing to do with the matter under discussion, because we are talking about looking for ijmaa‘ as one of the kinds of shar‘i evidence. 

Ijmaa‘ counts as evidence on the basis of a number of pieces of evidence, including the following: 

1.     The verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Thus We have made you (Muslims), a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind” [al-Baqarah 2:143].  The words “witnesses over mankind” include testifying about their deeds and judging their deeds, and the words of the witness may be accepted.

2.     The verse in which Allah, says (interpretation of the meaning): “(And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves” [an-Nisa’ 4:59] indicate that whatever they agreed upon is sound and correct.

3.     The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “My ummah will not unanimously agree on misguidance.”

4.     We say: If the ummah unanimously agrees on something, it must be either true or false. If it is true, then it is proof. If it is false, how can this ummah, which is the dearest of nations to Allah since the time of its Prophet until the onset of the Hour, agree on something false with which Allah is not pleased? This is quite impossible. 

Types of ijmaa‘ 

Ijmaa‘ is of two types: definitive and presumptive. 

1.     Definitive is that which well known and well established, such as consensus that the five daily prayers are obligatory and that zina (fornication, adultery) is haraam. No one can deny that this type of ijmaa‘ is proven and established, or that it constitutes proof in and of itself, or that the one who rejects it becomes a kaafir, unless he is ignorant and may be excused for his ignorance.

2.     Presumptive is that which can only be known by means of research and study, where the scholars may differ as to whether is ijmaa‘ (on a particular issue) or not. The most correct scholarly opinion concerning that is the view of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, when he said inal-‘Aqeedah al-Waasitiyyah: The type of ijmaa‘ that is to be accepted is that of the righteous early generations (as-salaf as-saalih), because after their time there was a great deal of disagreement and the ummah spread far and wide. End quote. 

It should be noted that the ummah cannot agree on something that is contrary to an unabrogated, clear, saheeh text, because it can only agree on what is true. If you see consensus that you think is contrary to that, then it must be one of the following: either the evidence is not clear, or it is not saheeh, or it is abrogated, or there is a difference of opinion concerning the matter of which you were not aware. 

Conditions of ijmaa‘: 

There are certain conditions for ijmaa‘, such as: 

1.     It should be soundly proven in the sense that it is either well known among the scholars or transmitted by a trustworthy narrator who has read widely.

2.     It should not have been preceded by a well-known difference of opinion. If that was the case, then there is no ijmaa‘, because scholarly opinions are not invalidated by the death of their authors. 

Ijmaa‘ does not cancel out a previous difference of opinion; rather it prevents differences of opinion from arising. 

This is the most correct view, because of the strength of its argument. 

And it was said that the second condition is not stipulated, so it is valid in a later period for there to be consensus on one of the previous opinions and for that to serve as proof for those who come afterwards. 

According to the majority, it is not essential that those who unanimously agree all die when still holding this view for  ijmaa‘ to be established; rather ijmaa‘ is established as soon as they (the scholars of a particular era) agree, and it is not permissible for them or anyone else to go against it after that, because the condition for the establishment of ijmaa‘ do not include any stipulation that the era (of the scholars who reached this consensus) should have come to an end with their passing. As ijmaa‘ is established at the moment they agree (on a particular issue), there is nothing that could cancel it out. 

If one of the mujtahids (scholars) says or does something and that becomes well known among the mujtahids, and they do not denounce it even though they are able to do so, then it is said that there is ijmaa‘. It was said that this establishes that there is ijmaa‘; others said that it is may be regarded as proof but not ijmaa‘; and others said that it is neither ijmaa‘ nor proof. And it was said that if they all passed away before denouncing it then it is ijmaa‘, because their silence until the time of their death, even though they were able to denounce it, constitutes proof of their agreement. This is the view that is most likely to be correct.

As-Shirk part 1


https://www.nairaland.com/4221573/as-shrik-part-1

*AS-SHIRK (1)

A’uudhu billahi minas Shaytaanir Rajeem, Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Alhamdulillah wasolatu wasalam ‘ala rosulillah
Shirk is the opposite of monotheism in Islam. The word shirk in Arabic means taking a partner, i.e., regarding someone as the partner of another. In Islamic context, shirk means ascribing a partner or rival to Allah in Lordship (rububiyyah), worship (Uluhiyyah) or in His names and attributes (Asmau wasifat).

There are verses of Quran pointing or nailing prohibition of shirk. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped)” Q2:22
In the hadith it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever dies claiming that Allah has a rival, will enter Hell.” Bukhari 4497 Muslim 92.

*Types of shirk

The scholars divided shirk into two types:

1. Shirk al akbar (major shirk), and

2. Shirk al asgar (minor shirk).

*Major Shirk

This means ascribing to someone other than Allah something that belongs only to Allah, such as Lordship (rububiyyah), divinity (uluhiyyah) and the divine names and attributes (al-asma’ wa’l-sifaat). This is the kind of shirk that Allah does not forgive, and it is the shirk of which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah” 2:165. Or the belief that there are those who know the Unseen as well as Allah

Shirk may sometimes take the form of words: Such as those who make du’aa’ or pray to someone other than Allah. Shirk may sometimes take the form of actions: Such as one who sacrifices, prays or prostrates to something other than Allah.

*Minor Shirk

الشرك الإصغر: وهو كل ما كان وسيلة إلى الشرك الأكبر ، أو ورد في النصوص أنه شرك ، ولم يصل إلى حد الشرك الأكبر

Minor shirk is anything that serve as means or way to major shirk, anything mentioned in the verse of Quran or sound hadith as minor shirk and has not reach level of major shirk.

*There are guidelines to identify minor shirk enumerated by scholars, these includes:

1. Anything confirmed or mentioned by Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam as minor shirk i.e. Mahmoud ibn Labeed said: The Messenger of Allah salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam said: “The thing that I fear most for you is minor shirk.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is minor shirk?” He said: “Showing off, for Allah will say on the Day when people are recompensed for their actions: ‘Go to those for whom you were showing off with your deeds in the world, and see what reward you find with them.’” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 951.

2. When the word shirk is used in the texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah in the indefinite form [without the definite article al-]. This usually refers to minor shirk, and there are many examples of this, such as when the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasalam said: “Incantations, amulets and love spells are shirk.” Abu Dawood, 3883; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 331. What is meant by shirk here is minor shirk, not major shirk as scholars have confirmed

Amulets are things that are hung on children such as turquoise beads and the like, which they claim will protect them from the evil eye or make the child grow teeth. Love spells are something that they do, claiming that it will make a woman beloved to her husband and a man beloved to his wife. These are minor shirk that leads to major shirk.

It saddened heart, some have insured the life of an innocent child under Devils unknowingly, thus has effects on the child.
To be cont…..inshaa Allah

Al Kufr (Disbelieve) and its classification

https://www.nairaland.com/4221557/al-kufr-disbelieve-classifications

*Al Kufr and its Classifications

Alhadulillah wasolatu wasalaam ‘ala rosulillah

Al-Kufr in Arabic language literally means covering and concealing something. In the shar’ia lexis, it means “not believing in Allah and His Messenger”. In extended sense, kufr is the attribute of everyone who rejects something that Allah has commanded us to believe in, after news of that has reached him, whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or he speaks those words of rejection without believing it in his heart, or he does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts as putting one beyond the pale of faith.” Majmu’ al-Fatawa by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, 12/335; al-Ihkaam fi Usul al-Ahkaam by Ibn Hazam, 1/45.

Ibn Hazam said in his book al-Fasl: “Rejecting something for which there is sound proof that there can be no faith without believing in it is kufr, and uttering words for which there is proof that uttering them is kufr is kufr. Doing any action for which there is proof that it is kufr is also kufr.”

Basically we have major kufr and minor kufr. Kinds of major kufr includes:

* The kufr of denial and rejection. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“then when there came to them that which they had recognized, they disbelieved in it” Q2:89,146. Q6:33 Q27:14

* The kufr of turning away in arrogance, such as the kufr of Iblees of whom Allah said:
“… except Iblees (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allaah)” Q2:34, Q24:47

* The kufr of hypocrisy. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):“And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: ‘We believe in Allaah and the Last Day,’ while in fact they believe not…Q2:8-20

* The kufr of doubt Q18:35-38. A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196.

On Minor Kufr (Disbelief)/Some called as Kufr of Practice, Shaykh Fawzan mentioned in Kitaab ut Tawheed:“The minor Kufr, or the practical Kufr, does not constitute apostasy. This type of Kufr comprises of sins that are referred to in the Book and the Sunnah as Kufr, but do not reach the level of major Kufr”[Kitaab ut Tawheed, Disbelief and its Types]. An example is the saying of the Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi wa sallam

لايزني الزاني حين يزني وهو مؤمن…

No adulterer is a believer when he is committing adultery…Reported by Bukhari and Muslim

Another example: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi was salaam) said the majority of the people in the Hellfire will be women. When asked the reason why this is, the Messenger sallallahu alayhi was salaam said “yakfurnah” meaning “they commit kufr” the Companions then asked “Ayakfurnah billah?” they asked “Is it the kufr in Allah?”(i.e. Major kufr) and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi was salaam went on to explain that the “kufr” which the women commit is the “kufr” of denying the favours of their husbands to which the wife of Thaabit ibn Qays said “Innee akrah ul kufra fee al islaam”, meaning “but I hate/abhor THE kufr in Islaam” Here the Sahaabiya used the definite article “al” and called this denial of the husbands favours to his wife as “al kufr” meaning “THE KUFR” yet by the unanimously agreement (al-‘Ijmaa’) of the Scholars is “minor” kufr NOT “major kufr.

* Major kufr require renewing kalmatu shahadah and repentance conditions

* Minor kufr require repentance conditions to be met. And generally followed by good deeds in both cases
