#The Prophet, PBUH taught us to first observe the tahiyatul Masjid (two rakahs that follows our entry into the Masjid- Mosque) before we sit or do any other thing in the Masjid. After this Solah, we can then proceed to say teslim to those we meet in the Masjid.

#The implication of this is that we should observe these two rakahs first before saying teslim to people inside the Masjid. The rights of Allah (the two rakahs) should come before the rights of people on us (the teslim).

#The evidence of that is in the narration about the man that came into the Masjid and who observed the two rakahs before saying the teslim the Prophet, PBUH. Who then asked him to go and repeat the Solah. This occured three times before he confessed to the Prophet, PBUH that he didn't know how to perform the Solah better than he had done and he was then taught how to observe the Solah properly.

#We should also learn from this that we should not be ashamed to admit our ignorance of any aspect of the deen, in the hope of learning. Our acquisition of western knowledge should not be a stumbling block to equipping ourselves with comprehensive knowledge of the deen.

#We should not forget the adhkar before entering the Masjid. Please, refer to your hisnul muslim (citadel of the believer).

#It is also in the Sunnah of the Prophet, PBUH that he used to make the teslim quietly whenever he was re-entering his house at night, after our Solatul Isha, such that the one sleeping will not be disturbed, but will be audible to the one awake. We should therefore learn not to disturb our family with unnecessary noise, just because we are the 'head of the home'. We should learn to be tender, where necessary.

AlhamduliLLah.

In the name of Allah, The Entirely Merciful, The Especially Merciful

#Islam teaches us the ethics of greetings thus- the person on a mount should greet the person walking. The group of few should greet the group of many. The one walking should greet the one sitting. The young should greet the one older than him/her.
Consequently, those greeted must respond to the teslim said to them.

#Islam discourages us from sitting by a pathway, i.e., where people pass through. It is a sign of joblessness.

#However, Islam does not discourage us from initiating the teslim, even if we are classed under the recipient.

#The Prophet (PBUH) used to be cheerful and greet people, even those he was older than. Islam values respecting those older than us, regardless of how little the age difference between them is.

#The moral here is that Islam wants to discourage arrogance among Muslims.

#If it happens though that the one walking is younger than the one on the mount, precedence of the rule guiding this category of people will apply. That means the adult on a mount should initiate the teslim to the younger one walking. However, if they are both on a mount, then the younger one should initiate the teslim. This follows for the other two categories mentioned earlier.

#A certain Doctur (didn't grasp the name) wrote two volumes of books on the 'manners of teslim', and even this couldn't cover everything on greeting.

#It is narrated that the one most deserving of goodwill from Allah is the one who is fond of initiating the greeting first.

#It is also narrated that we should say teslim to those (Muslims) we know and those we are not even familiar with.

#It is also in the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) to say teslim to the gathering of people when we arrive in their midst and when leaving their midst.

#It is reported in Abu Dawud that when we meet our fellow Muslim and say teslim to them and we then meet them again shortly after a slight seperation from them, we should re-initiate the teslim to them again. This will defeat the whisperings of Shaytan in each of their minds.

#It was reported that the Sahaba (Companions of the Prophet, PBUH) didn't hesitate in implementing these manners of greetings as taught to them by the Prophet, PBUH. We should take a cue from this and be utmost in implementing the lessons we learn about our deen (the ones that are authentic, of course).

amaechionuh:
Hijab should be banned in Nigeria. No woman should wear hijab.

Innocent citizens should be denied their right to make their own rational decisions?

If they start using school bags to ferry bombs to location of blast, should school bags then be banned too?
Is it their fault that Mr. President is incapable?

Nigeria is just so unfortunate to have a weakling governing her currently.

May God save us from our own inactions.

Q & A:

#One that belches and ingested foo

#It is reported that the Prophet (PBUH) used to do blood cupping even when in Ihram and while fasting. However, making incisions (fetish).

#However, it was also reported that the Prophet implied that blood cupping will terminate one's fast.

#However, Islamic jurisprudence dictates that a command that comes later on a certain issue will overrule the previous one.

#Therefore, the ruling that one can cup blood while fasting is overrules the ruling that blood cupping terminates one's fasting.

#However, those who engage in blood cupping should take great care in sterilizing the equipments and avoid causing harm to one another.

...

#If one mistakenly releases sperm as a consequence of light intimacy with his/her spouse, then that day's fast is terminated and they will both be required to repay that particular fast.

#However, if they have sex, then they will have to do kafarah (paying the penalty fo deliberately breaking their fast). But if the wife was reluctant to have sexual relations with the husband, but he 'forces' her into it, then only him would pay the penalty.

AlhamduliLLah.

Updates:

#In the Hadith, some people came to question Aisha(RA) on if a man can have any contact (like kissing) with his wife while fasting, and she responded that the Prophet (PBUH) used to kiss them lightly even while he was fasting.

#However deep kissing will lead to termination of the fast, because of the exchange of saliva resulting thus.

#One of the lessons to learn is that the wives of Prophet (PBUH) were not only playing the roles of wives but as students learning tremendously from the Prophet (PBUH).

#This should serve as a lessons with wives of today, who neglect the acquisition of knowledge on the premise that their husbands are scholars of the deen. Wives should equip themselves, to be able to teach other women about the deen.

Dear sister,

If your husband is the type that likes to downplay your importance in the home/family, please don't pick up a fight with him. Just one small lesson:

The next time you attend any social gathering (Islamic public lectures, Alqoh, etc.) together, just urge him to keep his baby (toddler, infant) with him for the course of the program, in the name of father-child bonding. *smiles*

Let's see how he copes when people throw him dagger stares just because his child won't stop crying and throwing all tantrums imaginable.

Yes! I have heard the unending noise from children constantly at these programmes, even when the Solah has started. And I can only imagine how their mothers are able to cope with the embarassing stares and hisses that these might cause.

Let honour be accorded to those whom it is due. Kudos to our mothers/sisters who still stay true to ideal parenting, as they are the ones who still help to preserve the little sanity obtainable in our society today.

Live at another edition of Hudan wa Bushrah, with the theme, 'Major signs of the endtime' here at the Ogbomoso Central Masjid, Ojagbo.

Will try to bring updates if things flow smoothly. May Allah make it a success.

We're on...

very correct.We should ask fashola why he refused to sign the FOI into law.apc are all criminals bt they cannot deceive evryone

If APC is a party of criminals, PDP is a party of rogues. 15 years in power and counting, yet billions of dollars down the drain and very little to show for it.

#Nigerians and funny stereotypes

#The Prophet (PBUH) discouraged us from eating or drinking with our left hand. It was reported that he (PBUH) once admonished a man not to eat with his left hand and he responded saying it was not convenient for him and the Prophet (PBUH) told him Allah will never make it convenient for him. It was also reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said it is the Shaytan (devil) that eats/drinks with his left hand.
All these points to how evil this act is. We should totally desist from this.

#to be continued...

In the name of Allah, The Entirely Merciful, The Especially Merciful.

#The Prophet (PBUH) was fond of eating in company and from the same plate with others, irrespective of their social status.

#To make a habit of eating and drinking in the company of fellow Muslims will promote peace and harmony within the Ummah.

#We should make it a habit to eat or drink from the same spot our spouses have taken from, as this will foster the love between us. This is in the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH).

#We should not let superstition discourage us from practising these acts of Sunnah, as nothing will happen to us except by the Will of Allah.

#Generally, we should beware of superstitions, especially ones prevalent in our society, that often tend towards shirk. Examples like "A pregnant woman should not meet an albino", "to hit one's leg on an obstacle on the way out is a sign of badluck", e.t.c.

#Still on superstitions: Contrary to the beliefs of the Arabs before the coming of the Prophet (PBUH), the Prophet (PBUH) warned that the perching of a Owl on one's roof doesn't signify badluck or death will come to that person as a result and also that the Month of Safar does not bring badluck with it. On the other hand, he (PBUH) warned that we should stay away from people with leprosy just as we run away from a lion.
However, this does not give us the license to make jest of them, we should rather make the recommended adhkar when we see people with disability. *a short story was narrated to point out this moral*

Arrived late for today's Alqoh. Decided to take a walk with the 'boiz'. Our trekking no meet schedule *smiles*:

#It is not encouraged to fast beyond the normal time for breaking (sunset).

#It is however in the sunnah that whoever will be fasting beyond the time for iftar (break of fast) should continue with the fast till time for sahur.

#The one who is fasting and doesn't do away with lying and other such vices is toying with the acceptance of his fast by Allah.

#Even when we are not fasting, we should do away with these vices.

#Lying denigrates you, while honesty elevates you. Desist from lying.

#There are three forms of lying that are permitted, but shouldn't be tagges 'iro sunnah', i.e., 'sunnatic lie'.
These forms are:
#deceiving the enemy during a war, in order to win the war, i.e., war strategy.
#deceiving two warring factions, so that the quarrel between them can be settled. For example, individually lying to both parties that the other has asked you to come and beg him to end their quarrel.
#the third is 'lying' (being diplomatic with) to your wife in some permissible instances, such as when she is nagging unnecessarily, in order to make peace in the home. But the wife is not allowed to lie to her husband. ~why these sisters dey hala na~
*smiles*

#We should be wary of teaching our kids to lie. For instance, asking them to lie on your behalf that you are absent when a certain visitor comes calling (prevalent in our society).

#Even though we have the capacity to teach our kids good morals, the environment around can influence them negatively. The Muslims are therefore encouraged to strive and create their own unique communities, where they will totally dominate or make up the majority of the population of such environments.

#We are also encouraged to do away with insulting and fighting people when fasting and even when we are not. We should learn to be patient and perseverant, except in situations where it will be better for us to react with force.

#It is wrong to say praise is the 'food' acceptable to Allah (ope lounje re). We should be careful in copying non-Muslims in these kind of careless speeches made with the intention to 'praise God'.

Typical of the PDP. Didn't they say your new slogan is "share the money".

Shameless fellows... Insulting people with the money you stole from them.

#islamisareligionofpeace

The hangover from the ogogoro of yesterday is obviously manifesting. May you get help soon.

#We are advised to make the Adhan for Fajr prayer in earnest, especially when the last third of the night starts (around 3:30am in this period) so that people will be encouraged to observe Qiyam Layl (night prayers).

#Whoever will make the Adhan should be someone whose voice is clear and loud enough to go as far as possible. This is because the essence of the Adhan is to call people to prayer and not just to be merely pronounced.

#It is wrong for people to make more than two Adhan for fajr during the period of Ramadhan, with the intention to ensure people get up for Sahur. This is Bid'ah (innovation).

#It is also wrong for people to play audio tapes (even if they are Islamic lectures) or continue talking irrelevancies into the microphone, with the intention to wake people up for Sahur. Islam abhors that we disturb the peace of our neighbourhood.

#We should not encourage those people who usually go round people homes with drums and fanfare to wake people up for Sahur by coming out to dance to their songs or give them money. This is not part of Islam. However, this does not mean we should not wake our neighbours up for Sahur.

#It is not right for us to specifically fast on Fridays, Saturdays (and the scholars also added Sundays) if it is not in Ramadhan or compulsory fasts. In the same vein, it is also wrong to specifically fast on days when non-Muslims are doing their festivals.

#It is also wrong to specifically save your stock or goods so that they will be available for sale on the days non-Muslims hold their festivals (

Today's Alqoh updates:

#It is compulsory on us to be earnest in breaking our fast as soon as the sun sets. This is the sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH)

#The Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said people will always be successful as long as they don't delay breaking their fast (when the sun sets).

#It is not permissible for us to break our fast if the sun sets earlier than the usual time (maybe due to changed weather conditions).

#If you break your fast when the sun has set and fly in an airplane shortly after, only to discover that the sun hasn't set when in air, your breaking of fast is valid and you do not need any remedy nor continue your fast.

#However, if you decided to break your fast after your flight has taken off, even though the sun had set before your take off and you then discover that the sun hasn't set when in air, you should not break your fast until the sun has set.

#In the same vein, it might happen that those at the top of a tall building might have not seen the sun set, while those at the ground floors might have seen the sun set. In this case, those at the ground floors should break their fast, while those at the top should wait till the sun sets before they break their fast.

#Even though the Prophet (PBUH) mentioned the competition amongst people to build tall buildings and skyscrapers is one of the signs that the world is coming to an end, it is not Haram (forbidden) in Islam to build tall buildings or skyscrapers.

#It is not reported anywhere that it was forbidden to build tall buildings or skyscrapers. We should not get confused.

#It was reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said it is IMPORTANT to take our sahur (the early morning meal that preceeds the fast), because there is barokah in it. This should however, not be interpreted to mean one's fast is not valid if one MISSES sahur.

#However, it is not good for one to make it a habit to deliberately miss Sahur.

#It is also reported that the Prophet (PBUH) loves those who are quick to break their fast and who are not too quick to take their Sahur. This illustrates that Allah does not intend to punish us with the command to observe sawm (fast).

#Those who make the Adhan are advised to endeavor to call the Adhan in earnest as soon as the sun sets, so that people who depend on the Adhan as a sign for them to break their fast can do it quick.

chukwudi44:
Muslim leaders have failed this country. They have failed to call their followers to order. The wahabi Sunni Islamic ideology is devastating the north

You are as wise as an idiot. Just like Okupe, you don't know when to shut up.

Which of the problems bedevillling the country do you Jonathanians and GEJ himself really take responsibility for.

It's time we started asking who really is in charge of the country?

Thank God the OP already exposed himself as a saTANist in his signature.

Case closed

perfect example of thieves giving back the owners what they stole





GEJ TILL 2019

When will "Saint" GEJ give back some of the ones he misappropriated and supervised?

Is he a "chop alone"?

Collynzo9:
Illiterates love throwing words around.
Can you tell me what is dumb about my comment?

Haven't your seen people from south west and north write about kidnappings in the south east even if the menace has almost been eliminated from the region? They turn a blind eye to serious ones happening in their backyards.

Level of kidnapping should now be a competition in our society?

Collynzo9:
The North east is leading in Kidnapping in Nigeria, followed by the South west.
Yet these set of people always have their minds fixed on imaginary, non-existent kidnappings elsewhere.

Show me a dumb comment and I will show you this bigot.

You need common sense, seriously.

I thought 'stealing is not corruption'?

I hope you have sent copies of your 'amazing poetry' to the EFCC, so that they can immediately start probing Tinubu and Amaechi?

torhuke:
It's been 7 days after General Buhari emerged as the flag bearer of the APC in the forthcoming presidential election and he is yet to pick a running mate. If it takes President Goodluck Jonathan the same period to chose his running mate, many would have called him clueless and weak. So General Buhari who declared to run for president about 3 months ago still has no idea who and where his running mate should be or come from. What then is cluelessness? So cluelessness in the ApC has started already so much that it's presidential candidate has to tell somebody else to pick his running mate for him. Isn't that the height of mental weakness and political indiscretion on the part of the ApC presidential candidate? A presidential candidate conceding the discretion to chose his running mate to one of the most corrupt godfathers in Nigeria today. We should expect the kind of Adedibu/Ladoja rulership of this country should these blind desperadoes clinch power in 2015.. Anyway, they can only defeat GEJ in their dreams and in the media, not at the polls. I hope they get a running mate who can cry a river and who wouldn't incite the people of wherever he comes from to violence when they lose in 2015. The soaking of baboons and dogs in blood should not extend southwards.}

You should go and lobby for Doyin Okupe's job already. See story of your life you just posted. Haba!
