Sharp elites of the North are usually to be seen living their lives, making their best choices without the choking tethers of religion & tribe ONLY to the level it concerns themselves, not others.

OR the poor who they bind with those shackles and who bear it proudly like well sought-after trophies

Mrchippychappy:
Where is her HIJAB? ABOMINATION! So you mean to tell me a muslima can keep her hijab and all its righteousness on the side just so she can get married to an oyinbo man? and we all know that the oyinbos are infidels , according to the doctrines of the holy SAW, right? I always laugh out loud when I see followers of this violent cult built on hypocrisy and deception blowing themselves up, meanwhile the leaders of the cult dey flex with arab and white guys and gals 24/7.

Let not your own hands contribute to your destruction



Smoking or consumption of tobacco in any form is HARAM (Prohibited) in Islam and there is no second opinion about it.
There are various reasons as to why this is strictly prohibited in Islam.
Firstly, the reason for this question could be because of the fact that cigarette smoking was uncommon during the era of
prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) and in the period of revelation of the Quran. However, the Quran is far more
superior as it being a pure revelation from God, unparalleled or unmatched to any other scriptures or books claiming to be
the word of God, foresee the social development of human society and framed the laws in such a way so as to guide human
being as to what is good and bad, thereby providing utmost guidance to live peacefully in this world and attain success in
the hereafter.
Though there is no direct mention of tobacco or cigarette by name in Quran, it does contain categorical prohibition to all
forms of harmful consumption in a more generic sense. It does not speak like an ordinary book/pamphlet that contains
instructions with DO’s and DON’Ts. Quran is far more compendious and superior in its conciseness, eloquent in its content
and informativeness, just like, how the Quran prohibits consuming all sorts of intoxicants without mentioning any specific
type of alcohol by name such as beer/wine/rum etc.
There are clear verses in Quran that prohibits this.
“Do not kill yourselves” (Al-Quran 4:29)
“Do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction” (Al-Quran 2:195)
These verses unequivocally indicates that usage of anything that causes harm to our body and soul is prohibited. Today we
know how harmful and detrimental the cigarette smoking is.
Smokers are not only spoil their own health, but also their family, neighborhood and the whole environment.There are
over 300 toxins that are expressed from the use of tobacco. Among them the most dangerous are 1.Nicotine, 2.Carbon
dioxide, 3.Carbon Monoxide, 4.Carbon tetra Chloride. All these are related to Carbon dioxide concentration.
The body parts which have impact over smoking are tongue, interior mouth, cheeks, sinus (interior nose), throat, Pharynx,
Larynx, Esophagus, air line vessel inside the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Kidneys, Pancreas,
male and female productive systems, heart, brain and eyes. This means almost all the body parts are affected with the
consumption of tobacco.
Nicotine and other toxins shrink the small, large and middle blood vessels thereby sealing the blood vessel to reduce the
circulation of blood to the blood vessels. This gradually makes the body parts deactivated at one point of time. Carotid blood
vessel which takes blood to the brain gets shrunk which in turn causes stroke.
In a family, if a husband/father or a brother is a smoker, then his breath that comes out of his mouth or nose and the toxins
that are present in his breath affects the women, children when the happen to inhale the same breath. Particularly the
little ones who take mother’s milk get affected due to this toxin that comes out of a smoker’s mouth/nose which affects
them with problems such as indigestion, lung disease and Diarrhea.
These toxins even affect the fetus which is in the mother’s womb due to the lack of blood supplies and it ends up in an
incomplete or premature delivery. Even if it’s a complete delivery still babies born of mental or physical defects. Based on
the reports of UNICEF, there is a higher rate of miscarriages among expectant mothers who smoke, and smoking during
pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight, a factor strongly associated with infant mortality and illness. Smoking in
the home has also been linked to an increased incidence of asthma and acute respiratory infections in children. It also
causes bladder and uterine related problems.
Heart attack is one of the main causes of Smoking. Smoking causes all the blood vessels shrink thereby shrinking the three
main blood vessels which distribute pure blood. Because of this the heart muscles get lack of pure blood which spoils the
heart and causes heart attack. Smoking also causes asthma, allergy, pneumonia and Tuberculosis in the Lungs. Cancers
relevant to tongue, throat, esophagus and stomach are the primary results of smoking. The shrinkage of the bigger blood
vessel and the branch vessels which are connected to both the legs causes a disease called Trombo Angiitis Obliterans
(Buerger's disease). This gives severe pain to the victim gradually causing his fingers get worse. This eventually leads the
patient lose his fingers.
Smoking is the prime reason for all these diseases, Take a resolution now to give up this human enemy (abolish the habit of
smoking and the use of tobacco).
May 13 th of every year has been announced as “Anti Smoking Day” from United Nations council. Even then the numbers of
smokers are abnormally increasing. Especially this habit is attracting teenage boys and girls as per the recent survey
reports. Just by doing awareness program in a particular day will not help out to abolish this smoking habit. Government
orders that Cigerette, Gutkha(a type of tobacco in India) should not be supplied for the teens under the age of 18 , but sadly
this is rapidly growing among the younger generation and students of schools and colleges. Teens get addicted and spoil
their health endangering their lives;
The Prophet ( ﷺ ) said, “The deen (religion) is naseehah (advice, sincerity).” We said, “To whom?” He ( ﷺ ) said, “To Allah, His
Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.” Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 4199 In-book
reference : Book 39, Hadith 51.
Our Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said the religion is sincerity and advice to others for the betterment and advancement in
religion. so there is no room for anyone to come up with something and claim that it is allowed while it is harmful to
himself and the society ,when Islam is pure religion and way of life framed by God for the betterment of none but mankind.
Another subtle point worth mentioning here is that all the organs including our body and soul is deemed Amanah from
Allah. [Amanah means trust, property legally entrusted to someone with instructions for its use and be returned duly as
trusted]. Since it is an amanah , none holds the right to hurt/destroy/spoil or misuse it. Hence no one can hurt/kill/abuse
his organ,body and soul. We will be reckoned about these in the Hereafter life. As the Qur’an says,
“And follow not that of which you have no knowledge, verily the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those
one will be questioned” (Quran 17:36)

why is smoking haram?
Published Date: 2000-12-27
Praise be to Allaah.
Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim and kaafir alike – have now started to fight smoking, because
they know that it is very harmful. Islam forbids everything that is harmful, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “There should be no harming or reciprocating harm.”
Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and bad. Allaah
described our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the following terms (interpretation of the meaning):
“he allows them as lawful At Tayyibaat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods),
and prohibits them as unlawful Al Khabaa’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and
foods)
[al-A’raaf 7:157]
Is smoking one of the good and lawful things (al-tayyibaat) or one of the evil and unlawful things (al-khabaa’ith)?
Secondly: it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah forbids you to trade
gossip, to ask too many questions and to waste money.” And Allaah forbade wasteful extravagance when He said
(interpretation of the meaning):
“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al Musrifoon (those who waste by
extravagance) [al-A’raaf 7:31]
And He described the slaves of the Most Merciful as follows (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those
(extremes)” [al-Furqaan 25:67]
The whole world now knows that the money spent on smoking is to be considered as money wasted, from which no benefit
is gained; indeed, it is money spent on something harmful. If the money which is spent on smoking worldwide were to be
collected, it could have saved entire populations who have died of starvation. Is there anyone more foolish that one who
holds a dollar bill and sets fire to it? What is the difference between him and the one who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is
more foolish, because the folly of the one who burns a dollar bill ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns his money
and also harms his body.
Thirdly: how many disasters have been caused by smoking, because of cigarette butts which are thrown away and cause
fires. Other disasters have been caused in other ways, as when a house was burned down with its occupants inside, when
a man lit his cigarette when there was a gas leak.
Fourthly: how many people are offended by the smell of smokers, especially when you are unfortunate enough to have
one of them standing next to you in the mosque. Probably any nasty smell is easier to bear than the smell of the
smoker’s mouth when he has just woken up. It is amazing how many women can put up with the smell of their husbands’
mouths! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade those who had eaten garlic or onions from
coming to the mosque so that they would not offend their fellow-worshippers with their smell. The smell of onions and
garlic is easier to bear than the smell of the smoker and his mouth.
These are some of the reasons why smoking is haraam.

Aisha Bint Aby Bakr RA

Umm-Al-Mu’minin (Mother of Believers)

Note: For ease of reading, we have not inserted “May Allah be pleased with her (RA)” each time Aisha’s RA name or the name of each Companion is mentioned, but please take it that the salutations apply to all of them, may Allah be pleased with them all.

Narrated Amr bin Al-As: I came to the Prophet SAW and said, “Who is the most beloved person to you?” He said, “Aisha.” I asked, “Among the men?” He said, “Her father.” I said, “Who then?” He said, “Then Umar bin Al-Khattab.” He then named other men [Bukhari].

Who is Aisha ibn Abu Bakr?

Out of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, two have received prominence above the others. The first was Khadija, and the second was Aisha. Aisha was the favourite daughter of one of the Prophet’s favourite companions, Abu Bakr, and was the most beloved wife of the Prophet SAW after Khadijah.

Sawdah, the Prophet’s SAW second wife, and Aisha entered the life of the Prophet’s SAW household after the death of Khadijah. If we recall, the Messenger of Allah SAW never had another wife for over two decades during the time he was married to Khadijah. He was deeply grieved by her death, and it is acknowledged that he still felt sorrow at her passing years later.

Those around the Prophet SAW understood the sadness that he faced, not just for the loss of his lifetime companion, but also for the other turbulent events that happened in what we now call the Year of Sadness. While many were concerned and offered their support in their own individual ways, Khawlah bint Hakeem was the one who took the initiative and broached the subject of marriage with the Prophet SAW. Khawlah was the wife of `Uthmaan ibn Math`oon, both of them being among the first persons to embrace Islam. It was Khawlah who originally suggested that Abu Bakr should offer his daughter Aisha for marriage to the Prophet SAW. For the sake of completeness, it is worth mentioning that it was also Khawlah who initiated the marriage of  Sawdah to the Prophet SAW, however we shall not be covering this aspect in this article.

The suggestion to marry Aisha, while well received, proved to be diplomatically delicate for Abu Bakr, for the six year old Aisha was already engaged to a non Muslim, Jubayr ibn Mut’im.  It  would have been socially unacceptable for Abu Bakr to have broken the engagement. However, with the will of Allah, the engagement was repudiated by the potential groom’s family on account of their disbelief in Islam, enabling Aisha to be engaged to the Prophet SAW.

Allegations against the marriage

We pause at this juncture to deal with a sensitive topic, which is the age of Aisha during marriage. Of late, this has created unnecessary controversy. However, if we look at the historical accounts of the social structure of the time, Aisha was already engaged to another man prior to her marriage to the Prophet SAW, indicating that it was socially acceptable for marital alliances between families to be forged at an early age. Also women during that time reached maturity relatively quickly – psychologically, emotionally and physically – due to their upbringing and surroundings. In the case of Aisha, she attained intellectual, physical and emotional maturity exceptionally fast compared to her peers.

If we look at the various claims made against the Prophet SAW during his lifetime and after – he was called a madman, a liar, a magician, possessed by the devil – yet not one of these claims, even by his own worst enemies, touched upon his marriage to Aisha. Had the marriage been controversial, his enemies would have scandalized and sensationalized the event. Yet no claims of this sort were raised for hundreds and hundreds of years, whether by the pagan Arabs, the Romans, or any of the subsequent societies, until very recently.

If allegations were made against the Prophet SAW in respect of abuse or impropriety during the marriage, then one would expect all these claims to surface after his death, when Aisha was free to speak without fear of repercussion from the Prophet SAW. Yet, even after his death, there is not a single recorded account of any complaint or statement about their marriage, save that the Prophet SAW was the best of husbands and that the marriage was an extremely happy and harmonious one. In today’s society, very few, if any, women would describe their husbands in such unequivocal terms. Aisha was nineteen when the Prophet SAW passed away, and until her own death over forty five years later, she spoke of him lovingly. The aspersion cast upon the marriage by the modern media is totally unsubstantiated, as there is not a single recorded statement to support any of these those claims.

Life after Marriage

Although the engagement took place while Aisha was six or seven, they were only married around three years later, shortly after she migrated to Medina, by which time she had reached puberty. She moved into the household of the Prophet SAW. It was not luxurious by any means, the room was barely six feet wide, built beside the mosque out of clay and palm trees. The ceiling was so low that a person standing upright could touch the roof. The room was sparsely furnished with a mattress of palm leaves which lay on a mat. It was not a room of worldly wealth, but it was rich in spiritual treasures.

The Messenger of Allah SAW later told Aisha, “You have been shown to me in (my) dreams on three nights. An angel was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to me, `This is your wife.’ And when I uncovered it; behold, it was you. I then said: `If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.'” [Bukhari and Muslim].

Aisha said “I have been given nine (virtues) that were not given to any woman after Maryam bint Imran (the mother of Nabi Isa AS): Jibril AS descended with my picture in his sleep until Allah’s Messenger SAW was commanded to marry me; he had married me when I was a virgin and he never married any virgin besides me; his soul was taken while his head was on my lap and he was buried in my house. The angels had surrounded my house, I am the daughter of his Khalifah and his Siddiq; my excuse was revealed from the heaven. I was created pure. I have been promised forgiveness (of sins) and noble provision.”

Thus, this was a marriage between two exceptional people – the last of the Prophets who was nearing the end of his life, and a woman still at the beginning of hers. Aisha was a very intelligent and observant young girl with an extremely sharp memory.  Due to her proximity with the Prophet Muhammad SAW, she was able to recount and educate the ummah on intimate details regarding marital relationships, personal grooming, medical prescriptions and behaviour within the household.

Aisha spent approximately nine or ten years of her life with the Prophet SAW. Her greatest asset was not her youth or beauty, but her piety, extraordinary generosity, ability to record the sayings and behaviour of the Prophet SAW, her accurate memory, and her intimate knowledge of the Qur’an. She absorbed knowledge like a sponge and this ability made her the educator and transmitter of the sacred knowledge to men and woman. A great deal of the knowledge that we still have today, about how our beloved Prophet SAW lived and behaved, was first remembered and then taught to others by Aisha.

Aisha became so wise that one of her contemporaries used to say that if the knowledge of Aisha was placed on one side of the scales and that of all other women on the other, Aisha’s side would outweigh the other. She used to sit with the other women and transmit the knowledge that she had received from the Prophet SAW long after he had died. As long as she lived, she was a source of knowledge and wisdom for both women and men. Abu Musa once said, “Whenever a report appeared doubtful to us, the Companions of the Prophet SAW, and we asked Aisha about it, we always learned something from her about it.”

As the prophetic guidance continued to be revealed through Prophet Muhammad SAW during the years of their marriage, Aisha’s way of life – along with that of all the Muslims – was gradually reshaped and refined. It was during this time that Islamic jurisprudence was established and when the rites of worship in Islam were finalised and clarified. In other words, it was during their marriage that the teachings of the religion of Islam were perfected.

Aisha was once asked to describe the Prophet SAW, and she replied that he was ‘the Qur’an walking’, meaning that his behaviour was the Qur’an translated into action. She did all that she could to do likewise. Thus she not only knew and embodied the Sunnah, but also she memorized the Qur’an by heart, understood it and lived it. Such knowledge was eventually compiled in various Islamic literature, providing an encyclopaedia for generations to come, supporting the Muslims and even the Caliphs of the later generations.

It was during the course of their marriage that, amongst others, the battles of Badr, and Uhud, and Al-Khandaq (the Ditch) were fought. These were the three major battles against the Quraish, that shifted the balance of power out of the hands of the disbelievers and into the hands of the Muslims. Although she was still very young, Aisha participated in them all, bringing water for the Muslims warriors, and helping to look after the wounded. She witnessed life, and she witnessed death – both in the way of Allah and in the way of the disbelievers – and she understood both. Indeed one of the meanings of her name, Aisha, is ‘life’.

Aisha’s knowledge was like a beacon that illuminated the hearts and minds of Muslims for generations to come. This is not surprising, for she is one of the four people who have transmitted more than two thousand hadiths, the others being Abu Huraira, Abdullah ibn Umar, and Anas ibn Malik RA. Al-Haakim said in his book, Al-Mustadrak. “One fourth of the rule of Sharee`ah was narrated on the authority of Aisha.” Umar Ibn Al Khattab, during his own Caliphate said that without Aisha, he would be lost and destroyed, in every small and big issue, he used to ask her for advice and consultation. How many Muslim men today seek consultation from a woman if she has more piety and knowledge than them? How many Muslim men today respect their wives, spouses, or daughters or anyone in society for their knowledge and calibre, regardless of their gender? How many Muslim women today are authorities on religious knowledge and texts?

The Fitnah

If there was a dark cloud in Aisha’s life, it was when the hypocrites conspired against her and made accusations regarding her honour and fidelity to the Prophet SAW. An accusation of adultery is a very serious charge, and this slander created a huge deal of strife and discord in the household. The details of her personal anguish and the events that transpired can be found in all reliable biographies of her life. Suffice to say, however, that Aisha remained steadfast in the belief that Allah would reveal the truth, and she was eventually acquitted, not though a trial of men, but by Allah Himself in the clearest terms, through the following revelation:

Surely those who fabricate the lie are a group from among you. Do not think it is bad thing for you; no it is good for you. Every man will receive what he has earned for this sin, and whoever had the greater part in it will have a great punishment. Why did the men and women believers, when they heard it, not think good in their selves and say: ‘This is clearly a lie?’ Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they did not produce witnesses, they are certainly liars in the sight of Allah. If it were not for the grace of Allah, and His mercy on you in this world and in the next world, an awful doom would have overtaken you for what you repeated. Since you received it with your tongues, and repeated what you did not know anything about with your mouths, you thought it was a trifle, but in the sight of Allah it is serious. Why, when you heard it, did you not say: ‘It is not for us to repeat this, Glory be to You (O Allah), this is a serious rumour.’ Allah warns you to never repeat anything like this again, if you are indeed believers and Allah makes the signs clear to you; and Allah is Knowing, Wise. Surely those who love to spread around slander about those who believe will have a painful punishment in this world and in the next world; and Allah knows and you do not know. (Qur’an 24:11-19).

The fact that Aisha’s honour and reputation had been protected by a revelation from Allah could not be ignored by anyone, and from then on everyone was more aware of her high station with Allah.

Her Generosity and Simple Lifestyle

Aisha endured poverty and hunger with the Prophet SAW. It is authentically related that months went by without the fire in the hearth being lit, i.e. without any food being cooked, during which time they simply survived on dates and water.

Once the Prophet SAW stayed away from his wives for a month because they had distressed him by asking of him that which he did not have. This was after the Khaybar expedition when an increase of riches whetted the appetite for presents. Returning from his self-imposed retreat, he went first to Aisha’s apartment. She was delighted to see him but he said he had received revelation which required him to put two options before her. He then recited the verses:

O Prophet, say to your wives: ‘If you desire the life of this world and its adornments, then come, and I will make you content, and I will release you with a fair release. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the next world, then truly Allah has prepared an immense reward for those of you who do good.’ (Qur’an  33:28-29)

Her reply was: “Indeed I desire God and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter,” and her response was followed by all the other wives.

Once, when the Muslims were favoured with great wealth, she has given a gift of one hundred thousand Dirhams. She was fasting when she received the money, and distributed it to the poor and needy, even though she had no provisions in her house. Shortly after that, her maid servant said to her, “Couldn’t you have brought a dirham’s worth of meat with which to break your fast?” “If I had thought of it,” she replied, “I would have done so!”

She developed the nickname the Mother of Fragrance, for every time a beggar knocked on her door, she would touch the money with perfume before giving it to him. When asked why, she explained that the charity would reach Allah before it reached the beggar’s hands, and she wanted the charity to be given to Allah in a fragrant condition.

In another report, a needy person knocked on the door. She only had one grape, and gave it to him. When asked what the value of a single grape was as a charity, she quoted the following verses from the Qur’an:

“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.” (Qur’an 99:7 – 99:

She rationalised – how many atoms are there in a grape?

How many of us are of such a status, where our vigilance, thinking and even the smallest action is completely for the pleasing of Allah, and reflected by the Qur’an and teaching of the Prophet SAW.

The death of Muhammad SAW and after

While the Prophet SAW was fair in the treatment of his wives and loved all of them, Allah is the owner of the hearts, and the Prophet’s SAW heart was inclined towards loving Aisha the most.

There are many accounts which indicate that Aisha was the favourite wife of the Prophet SAW after Khadija. The Companions noticed this and reserved their presents to the Prophet SAW when it was his turn with her. Naturally this inspired some jealousy amongst the other wives, however, Aisha was gracious and never belittled them, nor did she view them as her rivals. The only wife that she was truly jealous of was Khadija, the Prophet SAW’s first wife, who had passed away before she was married to him.

Aisha said: “The Prophet’s SAW wives sent Fatimah, the Prophet’s SAW daughter to him. She asked permission to enter while he was lying down with me in my woollen blanket. He permitted her to enter and she said: `O’ Messenger of Allah, your wives sent me to you demanding for fairness concerning (your treatment of) the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhaafah (meaning Aisha, daughter of Abu Bakr).’ And I was there (listening but) silent. The Messenger of Allah SAW told her, `O’ daughter, don’t you love whatever I love?’ She said: `Yes.’ He then said: `Then you should love this (lady).”‘

Hence, it was fitting that Allah chose for the Prophet SAW to breathe his last when in her house. Narrated Aisha: During his sickness, Allah’s Apostle SAW was asking repeatedly, “Where am I today? Where will I be tomorrow?” And I was waiting for the day of my turn (impatiently). Then, when my turn came, Allah took his soul away (in my lap) between my chest and arms and he was buried in my house. [Bukhari]

The room in which he died is the only room of his wives which is preserved up to today. Two years later, his Companion, Abu Bakr, Aisha’s father, was buried beside him. Later, as Umar Al Khattab was in his death throes, he appealed to Aisha to be buried next to Muhammad SAW. Aisha had actually reserved that space for herself, for she wished to be buried next to her husband. However, the love that the Prophet SAW bore for Umar caused her to honour Umar by sacrificing her beloved burial ground for him. Such was her generosity and nobility.

Her chaste nature was such that she used to say (before Umar was buried there): “It is only my husband and my father that are here.” But after Umar was buried there, she said: “I do not longer enter the room but with my garment fastened because I was shy (of being in the presence) of Umar.”

After the death of Prophet Muhammad SAW, Aisha was readily involved in continuing his messages. She was present through the reigns of at least the first four Caliphs. She continued commitment to the memory of her husband and her firm belief about being reunited with him in the Paradise.

In the month of Ramadhan in the year 58 A.H. Aisha had her fatal illness and she said in her will:

“Do not follow my bier with a fire nor lay a red velvet piece.”

She then surrendered her soul in the night of 17th of Ramadhan at the age of sixty six.

Aisha’s life after the death of the Prophet SAW is evidence against all the stereotypes of how Islam treats women, and accusations of how women in Islam have no status. We can read the detail of all the stories of Aisha and realise the wisdom of Allah and His Messenger, to have, for over forty years after the death of the Prophet SAW, the highest and most authentic level of knowledge from Aisha.

Look at the ultimate wisdom of Allah. Abu Bakr sacrificed his entire life in the path of Allah, and Allah granted him a beautiful gift which was to let his daughter be the most beloved wife of Rasulullah SAW after Khadija, and decorate his daughter Aisha with the charm, intelligence, integrity and memory, and make her the library of knowledge and source of wisdom for many generations to come. She carried the in depth legacy and knowledge of Rasulullah’s SAW memory. One cannot open Islamic books about the Qur’an, the biography of Muhammad SAW or jurisprudence, without finding Aisha’s name referenced in there. What a great honour for such a woman.

Aisha, Umm-Al-Mu’minin, even though she never had a single child, yet she is the Mother of Believers.

"THEY WISH THAT YOU SHOULD COMPROMISE (IN RELIGION OUT OF COURTESY) WITH THEM, SO THEY (TOO) WOULD
COMPROMISE WITH YOU." - Al Quran
By
Imam Murtadha Muhammad Gusau
Saturday, December 16, 2017
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Just, the Bestower, and peace and blessings be upon our beloved and humble Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him).
Brothers and Sisters! The word Hikmah (wisdom) has been misinterpreted for too long. It means to approach the people in the best
way possible, to act in the most appropriate way, taking that particular situation into account. It has never meant to give a false
image of Islam for personal or community welfare, or in the name of Darura. When Muslims are willing to compromise in all aspects
of their life, we lose the favour of Allah, emit an image of weakness to our enemies, and lose dignity in the sight of our Creator, Allah.
The most popular catch-cry of today’s generation is the word "compromise." The weak consider it as harmless, the ignorant hold it
as beneficial, and the miss-guided count it as essential.
This conclusion may seem extreme, but that’s the reality. In Islam, there is absolutely no room for compromise. There is no evidence
that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) ever did so, nor did his Companions, or does the Quran provide scope for it. This stance also
makes rational sense to those who sincerely dwell upon this topic.
A person suffering from a heart condition would be foolish if he chose to consume half of the medicine prescribed, and then took
sugar lollies as a substitute for the rest of the tablets. Who is he cheating? Not the doctor, who sought the best possible solution for
his condition, nor the pharmacist, who supplied the medicine. The patient is the one at loss.
Surely Allah, in His Wisdom and Mercy chose Islam as the medicine for the ills of humanity and the society we live, a cure for the
cancer of interest and woes of politics, the mistreatment of women and the division of society, the nature of man and his insatiable
desires.
Why do we Compromise?
There appears to be three main reasons why people will willingly compromise in Islam, and those same people will choose those
orders Allah has enforced us to follow, according to their own desires and substitute the rest with man-made systems or man-made
desires.
1 - "We are living in hard times, in a difficult society, and thus Allah permits us to compromise, because (now wait for it)...‘Islam is
easy, not hard.’"
A Hadith also quoted is that narrated by Aisha (RA), who said that when the Prophet (Peace be upon him) had the choice between
two actions, he chose the easiest course.
True, Islam is easy to follow, but not to the extent that we are permitted to change the rules set by Allah for our own convenience.
When asked for proof for the statement we can compromise, they claim that our condition today is similar to that during the Makkan
period of the Prophet’s mission. We should bear patiently like he did then, and act as he did in those circumstance.
The fallacy of this argument stands clear when we study the reasons why the Prophet (Peace be upon him) acted as he did back
then, and how later on in his life he (Peace be upon him) acted differently. We are now living in the Madinah era, the era where the
Quran was completed. The Makkan period could be seen as a temporary stage where the Companions were trained and prepared in
that special environment. But Islam was completed, finalized with the verse:
"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your
religion." [Quran, 5:3]
Islam was then perfected, so by retracing our steps all the way back to the Makkan era is illogical.
A cup full of fresh milk will be spoilt if only a drop of blood was to fall in it. Allah has never asked us to go beyond our capacity to
please him, thus arguments such as "I must work in a Haram field because I have no choice, or because of Darura" is an invalid
argument.
If our women must mix with men in the workplace, Allah never asked them to go to such extents. If we must agree to remove our
Hijabs because we want to become women lawyers, and it is Darura to do so, don't expect automatic forgiveness, If we eat food,
which is declared Haram, don’t expect automatic forgiveness, because no excuse remains. We have transgressed the boundaries.
Where as most people use their own rationale to substantiate their weak claims, I have the Word of Allah:
"Such is Allah, your Lord in truth. So after the truth, what else can there be, save error." [Quran, 10:32]
"It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in
their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error." [Quran, 33:36]
Respected Brothers and Sisters! Do you consider our current situation to be much worse than that suffered by the Prophet (Peace be
upon him) and his Companions, or the other Prophets before him? Surely this is the same code enjoined upon the Prophet (Peace be
upon him) and upon us. Prophet Yusuf (AS) went through many tortures, but never compromised, but instead turned to his Creator:
"O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me." [Quran, 12:33]
It was not in the nature of Prophet Yusuf (AS), nor in any of the Prophets, nor in any of the righteous servants of Allah, to
compromise in order to gain some worldly benefit. Yusuf preferred jail to falling for the lusts of women.
2 - Another false argument is the apologetic one: "We want to show people a religion, which is easy and doesn’t require much effort,
not to make people run away from Islam."
In truth, people have been running to Islam because, when shown in its real light, Islam provides the solutions people have been
seeking. They do not want a mixture of Islam with the Kufr they fled. Showing Islam in a "moderate" or "soft" light will only give the
wrong image of an already perfect religion.
3 - The third argument is that we must compromise in order to strengthen Islam. We must enter and join these institutions the way
they like us to do, join hands with the non-Muslims who are our partners in this life. This way, we can spread Islam, and live happily
ever after.
VERY WRONG!!! Again, there is no proof in the Shari'ah for this view, but rather to the contrary. Surah al-Kafirun is a prime example
of this:
"Say: "Disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. I shall never worship what you worship,
neither will you worship what I worship. You have your own religion and I have mine." [Quran, 109]
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) declared his religion to be that of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham AS). The unbelievers thus
argued that there was no reason for them to leave their own beliefs and take up that of Muhammad’s (Peace be upon him), seeing
they were of the same religion. They sought to compromise with him, proposing that he should prostrate before their gods in
exchange for them prostrating before Allah, and he could demand whatever he wanted from them. This Surah was revealed in an
uncompromising tone, clearly dividing Tawhid (monotheism) from shirk (polytheism), establishing a true criterion, allowing for no
further wrangling.
This wasn’t the only situation. When the Prophet’s (Peace be upon him) uncles felt that he was getting too powerful, they tried to
bribe him with the gifts of this world. They offered him the leadership of Makkah, wealth if that was his purpose, the most charming
wife if that was what pleased him, yet he refused all these because he only desired that the truth prevailed. Under such harsh and
luring circumstances, he (Peace be upon him) commented that if the sun were to be given in his right hand, and the moon in his left,
never would he leave this cause until Allah will elevate it, or he would die striving for this cause. This was his prime opportunity; if it
were in his nature to compromise, he could have accepted the leadership, secretly hid his true convictions, and later spread Islam
after being confident and powerful enough. Rasulullah (Peace be upon him) was known as the Trustworthy and due to this fact he
(Peace be upon him) was thus able to kindle the fire of Arab nationalism and would thus have united them. They would have
responded gladly to his call, tired of their tribal warfare’s. Thereafter, he could free the Arab lands from the domination of the Romans
and the Persians. He could have easily established an Arab state in this way, instead of bearing thirteen years of pain and torture. He
could have made the people bow initially before his authority, then he could have used his position of authority to impose the belief in
the unity of Allah, and bow before the True God. This was not what Allah desired though, and that is not Islam. Islam seeks the
destruction of all forms of evil, through pure ways, through legal ways, not the manipulation of evil to reach a pure goal. This is not
possible, nor permissible.
Even in a life or death situation, we are told of the rewards if we persevere and bear patiently. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) chose to be burn
in the fire prepared by his own father, rather than to hide his religion, leave the area, and spread the Word of Allah.
If Allah (SWT) or the Prophet (Peace be upon him) have forbidden us to do something, we must believe with all our being that it is
forbidden for our benefit.
For example: Music - it is Haram (except the Duff on certain occasions, like in marriage, two Eids etc)...don’t try to change it around
to suit your desires, by saying those favourite words we hear over and over again as justification, "I know its Haram ......but..?" If the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) forbade it, that’s it, accept it, don’t try and "Islamisize" it. You can’t, unless of course you think you
know better? (Astaghfirullah, May Allah protect us from this).
Another example is the issue of Hijab we are facing today, here in Nigeria and globally: Many Muslims have even tried to "Islamisize"
this act of devotion, which has guidelines and conditions. This stance is very weak...often justified by this saying, "But, if we look
more fashionable, the non-Muslims won’t find it so hard to relate to us, or in the name of Darura." Wallahi Wrong!!, as Allah (SWT)
says in the Quran:
"Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allah, that is the
only Guidance. And if you were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of knowledge (i.e. the
Quran), then you would have against Allah neither any "Wali" (Protector or Guardian) nor any helper." [Quran, 2:120]
No Excuse!
Alhamdulillah, we are provided with all the necessities of life. We have enough money to purchase Halal products and these are
available everywhere, so we need not compromise in terms of our food. We can freely wear the required clothing asked by Allah, so
we have no excuse not to. And Allah never requested us to compromise Islam to gain worldly benefits. We can choose our work, our
partners, our lifestyle, yet we consider ourselves fighting some imaginary "Jihad" of the nafs. Indeed, you never had an excuse, and
you certainly do not now, so cling to the path chosen by Allah; to all of it, for that is the only way we can dig ourselves from this
rotten though we have fallen in. We will inevitably fall if we prefer to attribute orders to Allah, which He never asked for.
"Say you (O Muhammad): ‘This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me with sure knowledge.
And Glorified and Exalted be Allah. And I am not of the Mushrikun.’" [Quran, 12:108]
"And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not other paths, for they will separate you away from His path. This He
has ordained for you that you may become pious."
Lastly, Brothers and Sisters! This was very beneficial and a great reminder and nasiha for myself and those who want us to
compromise on the issue of our religion (especially the issue of Hijab, etc). Especially living in Nigeria where at times many Muslims
think you have to compromise and hide your religion and give in to what other people are doing. Wanting to give in to the pleasure of
this Dunya. The reminder that the Prophet (Peace be upon Him) was offered everything in this Dunya and refused it (It was great to
hear it in context with Muslims compromising their religion). How Bilal (RA) would not give in to the torture and remained firm in his
belief in Allah The Most High. Wallahi we need to remain strong and steadfast in our religion. How even Muslims and non-muslims
alike come up with these names for Muslims that are on the truth. All praise due to Allah. Islam is so beautiful, why should we feel
ashamed following the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). May Allah guide all the Muslims. Ameen.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our Noble Messenger,
Muhammad, and upon his family, his Companions and his true followers.

Reflections on the Nigerian Christian
Years ago, I was a junior secondary school pupil of Government College, Ibadan. Early morning on assembly ground, I would watch
as Miss Jimoh or Mrs. Oyerinde, stand eyes closed in prayer, cane in hand, while concluding each prayer sentence with “in the name
of Jesus!” Young as I was during those years, there was something unsettling about their prayers.
You see, GCI had a rule, or so I had learned from old boys, that the school was secular in the sense that on assembly grounds
prayers favoring Christianity or Islam may not be made, but God can be used because of its neutrality to both religions. But these
teachers, wittingly or not, broke the rule, and it was okay. Many years later this praying style lends me a view to the Nigerian
Christian mind.
Lately, I have been thinking of my Nigerian Christian friends and their privilege (which most are unaware of its existence) in the
academic institutions and workplace. Many of our Nigerian Christian friends never had issues stemming from their conscience
conflicting with the system, so when a fellow Nigerian compatriot who is a Muslim say he or she has a conflict with the system,
they’re fast to think that the person is just being unnecessarily stubborn and being a cry-baby. Those Muslims are extremist
anyways.
But what the Nigerian Christian friend forget is the fact that even though both Muslims and Christians are full citizens of the country,
the system of the country had been designed primarily with the needs and accommodation of one person in mind – the Nigerian
Christian. Not the Muslim.
The British Imperialists who colonized us were Christians so every aspect of life touched by them was designed to naturally favor
their way of living which has Christianity at its center. This is not to say that there was a cynical attempt to make the systems
exclusively favor one religion over the other, because such an assertion would be ludicrous. They were just doing what came
naturally
to them, and had Muslims colonized Nigeria, the same would have been true as well. So returning to the point, Sundays were no
school days, Christmas and New Year celebrations fell wholly in holiday seasons, and there was nothing prohibiting the use of
crucifix
in schools.
You will remember that most of the public schools were once missionary schools. In Ibadan, we have Saint Annes Girls School, Saint
Teresa, Baptist High School, Methodist High School, and many more. This again buttresses the point that everything is in favor of
the
Nigerian Christian student. He never has to worry about his Sunday church service conflicting with WAEC schedule as we have seen
in recent years for Muslim students, when the examination commission in a cavalier way set an exam time to conflict with the time
for Jumua service.
Nigeria has been independent for a while now (some 57 years) and I do think the recent public debates on the violations of Nigerian
citizens’ constitutional rights to freedom of religious expression should call the Nigerian Christian student to a somber reflection of
his or her own privilege. The Nigerian Christian should understand that she is called freely to the bar without any buts or ifs because
of the privilege that comes with being Christian in Nigeria. She should therefore rise and hold the hand of the Nigerian Muslim
woman
and demand that she too must be called to the bar with no ifs and buts.
She should understand that putting a scarf on one’s head as required by one’s faith should have no bearings on once admission to
nursing school at all. He should know that, just like shaving the beard clean is of no consequence to one’s office job, keeping it
should equally be inconsequential.
In short, the Nigerian Christian must look into the privilege his religion affords him in this country of ours, and make sure that other
Nigerians be afforded similar rights and privileges. No one should have to choose between identifying as a Christian, and being a
journalist. I think you and I will agree on this.p

I can strongly say the mod that push this forward is not OK and sick


ohhh do u think this will make them accept u
by moving nonsense fatwa to the front page?


nooooo

so far u are still a Muslim it can never be possible because


they believe that u can't be equally yoked with the unbeliever


and this is very wrong

in the fire prepared by his own father, rather than to hide his religion, leave the area, and spread the Word of Allah.
If Allah (SWT) or the Prophet (Peace be upon him) have forbidden us to do something, we must believe with all our being that it is
forbidden for our benefit.
For example: Music - it is Haram (except the Duff on certain occasions, like in marriage, two Eids etc)...don’t try to change it around
to suit your desires, by saying those favourite words we hear over and over again as justification, "I know its Haram ......but..?" If the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) forbade it, that’s it, accept it, don’t try and "Islamisize" it. You can’t, unless of course you think you
know better? (Astaghfirullah, May Allah protect us from this).
Another example is the issue of Hijab we are facing today, here in Nigeria and globally: Many Muslims have even tried to "Islamisize"
this act of devotion, which has guidelines and conditions. This stance is very weak...often justified by this saying, "But, if we look
more fashionable, the non-Muslims won’t find it so hard to relate to us, or in the name of Darura." Wallahi Wrong!!, as Allah (SWT)
says in the Quran:
"Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allah, that is the
only Guidance. And if you were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of knowledge (i.e. the
Quran), then you would have against Allah neither any "Wali" (Protector or Guardian) nor any helper." [Quran, 2:120]
No Excuse!
Alhamdulillah, we are provided with all the necessities of life. We have enough money to purchase Halal products and these are
available everywhere, so we need not compromise in terms of our food. We can freely wear the required clothing asked by Allah, so
we have no excuse not to. And Allah never requested us to compromise Islam to gain worldly benefits. We can choose our work, our
partners, our lifestyle, yet we consider ourselves fighting some imaginary "Jihad" of the nafs. Indeed, you never had an excuse, and
you certainly do not now, so cling to the path chosen by Allah; to all of it, for that is the only way we can dig ourselves from this
rotten though we have fallen in. We will inevitably fall if we prefer to attribute orders to Allah, which He never asked for.
"Say you (O Muhammad): ‘This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me with sure knowledge.
And Glorified and Exalted be Allah. And I am not of the Mushrikun.’" [Quran, 12:108]
"And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not other paths, for they will separate you away from His path. This He
has ordained for you that you may become pious."
Lastly, Brothers and Sisters! This was very beneficial and a great reminder and nasiha for myself and those who want us to
compromise on the issue of our religion (especially the issue of Hijab, etc). Especially living in Nigeria where at times many Muslims
think you have to compromise and hide your religion and give in to what other people are doing. Wanting to give in to the pleasure of
this Dunya. The reminder that the Prophet (Peace be upon Him) was offered everything in this Dunya and refused it (It was great to
hear it in context with Muslims compromising their religion). How Bilal (RA) would not give in to the torture and remained firm in his
belief in Allah The Most High. Wallahi we need to remain strong and steadfast in our religion. How even Muslims and non-muslims
alike come up with these names for Muslims that are on the truth. All praise due to Allah. Islam is so beautiful, why should we feel
ashamed following the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). May Allah guide all the Muslims. Ameen.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our Noble Messenger,
Muhammad, and upon his family, his Companions and his true followers.

what's my business with how Hausa brought up their child in terms of religion aspect

we follow Allah injunction not the rich, poor or the so called muslim leaders

we are who we are
we are Muslim
Quran is our guide
sunnah is our path

This religion is too wahalaful!

If it is not Hijab,it is the right to occupy public building and major road to pray.

Is this how this same religion is practiced in the middle East or is it just in Nigeria here.
