I like and agree with the OP's point on keeping a watchful eye.

I also think not being too hard on them. Not using iron fist or they might start hiding things from you.

Teenagers tend to rebel and it's part of growing you.

Allow them make mistakes and be supportive.

Yep. Morals as well.

[quote author=zeedof post=57970051][/quote]When I mentioned that I mind, I meant I wasn't okay with it.

You can modify your post. It's actually not permissible for men and women to be chatting up.

Interesting! Imagine a world where woman can have kids without needing a man.

[quote author=zeedof post=57960315][/quote]I wouldn't say easily. I think it's just as hard for both genders.

I mind.

I hope it's readable?

"and Allah shall give to you your kind and type. pious man for pious women's and also wayward men for wayward women. Allah our creator is truthful pls check yourself brother and keep searching.

Reading articles and going back to the prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) recommendation on marriage makes me open to the idea of getting married but I still know marriage isn't an easy thing.

zeedof:
One of the difficult thing to find in life for hardworking man is true female lady to marry. A lot of Muslim lady out their doesn't have the feature of Muslim aside the name and some don't even bear the name while many who lil look like Muslim will upload 20 pics daily on Fb calling themselves slaying under hijab.... Hayam tired of searching for wife...

This goes both ways.

It's the same for brothers.

Number 2: Allahumma Rabbul Arshil azeem liljariyati min Fulani bin fulan


Any idea about the above prayer. The red might be wrongly spelled. I think it is done 2 bad ruler or Someone who is wicked to you but I may be wrong. I need the details.

Barika da sallah.

I don't know of this dua.

Nicely written Buchi95

Jazakallahu Khyran.

Alhamdulliah.

I almost had a panic attack.

Jazakallahu Khyran to the OP for the reminder.

What is wrong with a scarf?

AideeSheks:
More or less, people use both terms to talk of the same place. But in actual fact, Sango is a separate place while Ota is another separate place. Just that they're next to each other, so the whole area is fondly called Sango-Ota.

Jazakallahu Khyran.

AlBukhaari, may Allaah have mercy on him, was asked about the reason behind his memorization, and he said: “I do not know of anything more beneficial for memory than desire of man and constant referral and reading.”

My main concern with Osun and Ogun state is - ritualism and gbomo gbomo outside campus. Other than that I don't think it's a problem.

Jazakallahu Khyran wa barakallahu feek for your assistance. I really appreciate it.

This is off topic but any nice places to visit in Abeokuta asides the Olumo rock?

Is Sango otta same as otta?

I was shocked. I stopped listening to him long time ago but still can't believe he actually said that.

One of the best things I have read today *modified it a bit alot*

1)When you go yourself go to shaytan, he welcomes you warmly and you'd be surprise by how easy it is to sin. Sins have a snowball effect. One sin leads to another which leaders to another like a chain reaction. Free yourself from useless thoughts and curiosity. It's impossible to jump in the ocean without getting wet. If you think something will be fitnah for you SHUT THE DOOR. Never overestimate your iman. This is regarding all aspects of the deen- for example, don't go to dubious shaykhs/website to seek knowledge when you yourself don't have knowledge. You may go thinking that you will reject the false things but you really don't know what will stick in your heart. You really don't know what shaytan will use to cast doubts into your hearts.

2) I was able to witness a discussion about reading the Qur'an. The discussion was more of Qur'an quantity VS Quality. I favored the opinion one should recite the Qur'an when the environment is conducive and the heart is able to accept the message. Basically, reading the Qur'an should come from the heart and shouldn't feel like a chore and shouldn't just be words passing my throat, my heart should be involved. However, the other opinion was regardless what the heart feels- we should always read the Qur'an. Sometimes we may feel like we aren't in the mood or we are exhausted but when we start reading, our heart gets involved. But this wouldn't have happened if we didn't pick it up in the first place. Additionally, by waiting for the right time to read the Qur'an, we open the door for shaytan's waswas and would be cutting ourselves short on reward.

Now the reason I'm mentioning this is that humans generally tend to be antagonistic to things they don't like or enjoy or feel like doing. Sometimes we tend to do things only when it's convenient and only when it's easy to do. Whereas in reality, Jannah isn't surrounded by ease. In many places in the Qur'an Allah uses the word "strive". Striving is something that requires effort, struggle and endurance. It's not something that comes easy and it requires patience. When you strive it gets easier.... the struggle doesn't last for ever.. with hardship comes ease but we need to persevere and be patient. And at times when the motivation isn't there....to keep striving, knowing that it does get better and easier.

3) Lastly, I think sometimes all we need to do is start and not think about if achieving the end goal is possible. Because sometimes, the end goal looks impossible. Will I ever become a scholar? Will I ever become fluent in Arabic? Will I ever be consistent in praying Tahajud? So instead of thinking will I be able to read 3 pages of the Qur'an? How about just pick it up and see how far we go, keeping in mind that we need to strive, make dua and know that Allah help us?

AideeSheks:
Wa iyakum

You can consider the universities owned by Islamic organisations; Fountain, Al-Hikmah, Crescent etc. I'm sure they should all be offering accounting. Don't know too much on their standards though.
Bells University also gives Muslims freedom to practice. A lot of northern students go there and they can attest to that fact. They have a mosque in the school and they regularly hold Dawah programmes.
Don't really know much about ABUAD. But I personally don't think Muslims find it that easy there though. Perhaps Demmzy15 could shed more light on that for us.
Igbinedion is also a very free school. Anyhow goes over there

Jazakallahu Khyran, you have been very helpful. I am looking at Fountain, Al-Hikmah and Crescent but I am not too sure about the location (safety, how welcoming are people, how easy is it to live there when one doesn't speak the language). Al-Hikmah seems nice but I am not sure about what living in illorin is like. It seems like there are a lot of sufis there.
I have never heard of Bells University but I can look it up.
I didn't really get good reviews on Igbinedion when I was personally considering studying there- I heard there are cultist there and they also had some accreditation issues before.

AideeSheks:
Which region preferably? South West?

I dunno. Region is an issue for but was thinking somewhere like Abuja. South West is also okay.

Jazakallahu Khyran

Sorry to derail again but just in case I don't get answers in the other thread.

Which private university in Nigeria is best to study accounting?

Not just in terms of education but also safety, accommodation, amenities, and freedom.

By freedom, I mean freedom to practice religion and this is because a lot of private universities are affiliated with religion which is fine but I don't want any university that forces one to remove hijab for example or listen to morning devotion or ask someone to pray with them. Also things like allowing people pray on time.

Location also matters but I can't expatiate on that atm.

Alennsar:
may Allah gives us the strength to strive in is cause.

Ameen.

Imaam Yahya ibn Abu Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Knowledge cannot be acquired while relaxing the body.”

Virtues of fasting six days of shawwal

Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not waajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).” According to another report: “Allaah has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.” (al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah. See also Saheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, 1/421). It was also narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah with the wording: “Fasting for the month of Ramadaan brings the reward of ten like it, and fasting for six days brings the reward of two months, and that is the fasting of the whole year.”

The Hanbali and Shaafa’i fuqaha’ explained that fasting six days of Shawwaal after fasting Ramadaan makes it as if one has fasted for an entire year of obligatory fasts, because the multiplication of the reward applies even to naafil fasts, because each hasanah brings the reward of ten like it.

Another of the important benefits of fasting six days of Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person's obligatory Ramadaan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a negative effect on his fasting. On the Day of Resurrection, some of his naafil deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The first thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to His angels – although He knows best – ‘Look at the salaah of My slave, whether it is complete or incomplete.’ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, ‘Look and see whether My slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.’ If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allaah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary actions.’ Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood).

And Allaah knows best.

Surah Layl verse 4

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ - 92:4
Indeed, your efforts are diverse (for different reasons and purposes).

Intention is very important. Actions may be similar but their purposes are different. Like the prophet(peace and blessing be upon him) mentioned -“The reward of actions depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. Thus, he whose migration was for Allah and His Messenger, his migration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take a woman in marriage, his migration was for that which he migrated.”(Bukhrari and Muslim).

Similarly Allah says “Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived”[Hood 11:15].
Ibn Jareer at-Tabari said: Whoever does a righteous deed seeking worldly gain, whether it is fasting, praying, or tahajjud at night, doing it only for the sake of worldly gain, Allah says: I shall give him what he is seeking in this world of reward, but his deeds that he did for worldly gain will be rendered invalid, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers. End quote from Jaami‘ al-Bayaan (12/347).

So if you perform an action for praises, fame and worldly gain, you will get just that. However, you perform an action to earn the pleasure of Allah (subhanu wa ta ala) then there is hope for a better reward both in this worldly life and the hereafter.
