Sometimes, we dont need to give meaning to what is not.
The Prophet SAW engaged in sports during his time, its just that it was different then. Then they played with horses, swards and shields and to take it a step further they watch it with their wives. The world has changed, things cant always be like 2000 years ago, we have to adapt, but doesnt mean we throw away the core values. Football is the main sport now, if might have some parts that my not be good, but pick the good parts and go from there. Look at what Mo Sallah is doing.. Haba!

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him......

...It was the day of Eid and the Abyssinians were playing with shields and spears. Either I asked the Prophet or he asked me whether I would like to watch and I said yes. Then the Prophet made me stand behind him while my cheek was touching his cheek and the Prophet was saying, “Carry on, O tribe of Arfida.” I became tired and the Prophet asked me, “Are you satisfied?” I said yes, so I left.

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 907, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 892

Football or todays sports go against Allah's commandments like; no respect for Salah time, free mixing, alcohol, gambling, zinah etc. Therefore, you cannot use those in incidents at the time of the prophet to make todays sports alal.

Aliexpress orders goes to the nearest post office based on the zip code you used for shipping. Ali will not bring items directly to your house.

Once the item gets to the post office, expect a call from them. You will be required to pay certain amount based on the weight of the item starting from N100 for 100g, N200 for 200g etc. Before, it used to be free.

Thanks so much

Stormyweather:
its quite easy. download the app, have an access visa card or a gt master card. setup your profile(this include your mail and address). thats the most of it.

Good day, I just received message from AliExpress that my order had been arrived. What next please?

what question?

I said if another person come now and claim Allah that has revealed another way of performing Salah ( 5 daily prayer ), fasting, hajj etc like Tijjani did. How would you handle such a person?

I am sure his case will be like that of this corper I attached his picture below who converted to Islam, then after three months of not getting what he wants, the idiott quickly ran back to Christianity and even started cursing some of those muzlem men that lured him to Islam for not giving him what he demanded despite his conversion. lolz.

You can't be sane and be a Musslim let alone igbo Muslim because the last time I checked, Igbo life style and Islam can never go together.
So if you see anything Igbo Muslim, check the person very well, something is happening behind closed doors.
Just like the way Rochas has paid some imolites to become Muslims so that northerners will see and accept him as lover of Islam just because of his presidential ambition he will never attain.

Empiree:
If this is your understanding you can please stick to it if that is the way you understood it.

I'm tired of saying this over again. What kind of understanding you people have?. Don't you people have sense?. Could you post solati fatih and tell us what in the text that is new in Islam?.

They explained to you people over and over many times but you chose to be stubborn. This is why knowledgeable people don't wanna argue with you people. Sad


And solati Ibrahimiyah in itself is a mere recommendation not definitive. Not to be said at a specific time. It is not even directly sending salawat on the prophet either. Rather is prophet Muhammad is using nabi Ibrahim as tawasul in solati Ibrahimiyah. solati Ibrahimiyah is a formula of all salawat. There is no restriction on this revolving practice unlike obligatory ones

But the Aimmah recommended solati Ibrahimiyah after every tashahud not sahaba and not the prophet himself. Is that bidah too?. I'm really not taking any of you serious anyways cus I know for sure you all part time.

For the last time, can you tell us what is new in this?. Can you tell us what nabi Muhammad never heard of in this?

Is it Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina MuHammadin al-faatiHi lima ughliqa (O Allah, send blessings on our master Muhammad, who opened what was closed) he never heard of?. After series of prophets and messengers seized for almost 600 yrs, advent of nabi Muhammad opened a new chapter.


or is it Wal khaatimi lima sabaqa (Who sealed what had gone before) he never heard of?. And he(saw) was the seal of prophethood.



or is it Naasiril Haqqa bil Haqq (The helper of Truth by the Truth,) he didnt hear of? Indeed unless you and other like you dont believe that nabi is the truth. He made the truth manifest to mankind. You have problems with this, man?



or is it Wal haadi ‘ila siratiqal mustaqeem (The guide to Your straight path) he never heard of? What did nabi was sent for?. Isnt to guide mankind to the straight path?


or this is new to him too? Wa ‘ala aalihi Haqqa qadrihi wa miqdaarihil ‘adheem (And on his family, may these blessings be equal to his immense position and grandeur.). Doesn't solati Ibrahimiyah also sends salawat on prophet's household?.


So now, what exactly is new in the above?. Can you tell without being sentimental?. What is bidiah here or you simply misunderstood BIDIA?.


Solati Ibrahimiyah is humble format. By that i mean you dont expect nabi(saw) to praise himself. It is responsibility of the muslims to do that on his behalf. That's what solati Fatih does. And every single word in solatih fatih is in the Quran. So again, how is it bid'ah?. Obviously you people have wrong definition of bidia. Maybe you need to condemn Muhammad al-Busairi(ra) who composed many burda and salat for the prophet(saw). You guys are really incredible with this kind of nonsensical approach to islam.

Answer the question asked you

Empiree:
Adhkar are something encouraged regularly. You still end up at specific number at the end of the day. So i dont see how this is a problem. Adhkar are not restricted at any point in time. Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah(ra) recommended early morning. If you search further, you will see many other sheikh recommended other times as well to indicate it is not restricted. It can be done anytime as you deem fit. So the issue of innovation is really irrelevant here.

Nobody has right to do so expect what has been prescribed in Qur'an and sunnah. What you don't seem to understand Is that believing in salat faathi is like saying revelation has not ended. Therefore, Qur'an is not the last book cos another person can come tomorrow and claim Allah has revealed another way of performing Salah ( 5 daily prayer ), fasting, hajj etc. Now, the question is, how would you handle such a person?

Empiree:
Well, your problem seems to be conditions surrounding solatih fatih as in it came through dream or vision and rewards, right?. That's what make it bidi'ah right?.


Very well then. Let's take a look at Sheikhul Islam Ibn Tayimmiya's recommended du'a at dawn (sunnah fajr) before fard fajr. His student Muhammad b. al-Qayyim (Allah have mercy on both of them) relates in two of his books: Madarij al-Salikin and Tariq al-Hijratayn, in which he says that reciting “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, la ilaha illa ant” every day 40 times after praying the Sunnah of Fajr and before the Fard “revives the heart” and “has an astonishing effect” respectively.


I have been doing this du'a for over a year now since i heard of it. So i recite “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, la ilaha illa anta” 40 times everyday between two rakat sunnah and 2 rakat fard (fajr). This is in addition to what i already tasked myself.


Concern here is, there is no hadith which relates this du'a at this particular time and this particular count. So this du'a and solati fatih are in the same category. The same condition etc.



Questions are:


Where did Ibn Taymiyya got this recommendation from?. Obviously it is not hadith

Where did he get the count from?

And he mentioned reward attributed to it which is it "revives the heart”




This nakali i have been doing for over a yr. Now is this bid'ah?. To me it is no. To you it is yes. It is no to me bcus it is perfectly in harmony with shari'a. To you it is innovation because nabi didnt recommend it. Sahaba didnt do it. Tabi'in didnt do it. Tabi'in tabi'in didn't do it. Therefore it is bid'ah.




Matn of this du'a is sahih because it has isnad in the kitab and sunnah. Your problem is the reward and how Ibn Taymiyyah got it. So my question is, is Ibn Taymiyyah ahlul bid'ah for recommending this du'a at dawn btw fajr sunnah and fard?. So now you have not only Sheikh Inyas to worry about but your revered sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah as well. I got more for you in case you wanna dodge this.




Now this du'a, “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, la ilaha illa anta” which revives the heart, is one of the greatest "Isme- Azam" Allah's Greatest Name being recited was also recounted by Imam khatani(ra) who said he had a dream and saw the prophet(saw) who gave him this “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, la ilaha illa anta” to be recited 40 times.


Now are you ready to crucify this sheikh too and tag him evil bid'ah?. Do you know better than them? #yeyeman

If there is, could you relate that hadith for me.Answer:wa `alaykum salam,I do not know of any hadith to that effect; rather it is a saying of Ahmad b. Taymiyya which his student Muhammad b. al-Qayyim (Allah have mercy on both of them) relates in two of his books: Madarij al-Salikin and Tariq al-Hijratayn, in which he says that reciting “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, la ilaha illa ant” every day 40 times after praying the Sunnah ofFajr and before the Fard “revives the heart” and “has an astonishing effect” respectively.Hajj Gibril Haddad
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad , is His slave and Messenger.
What you mentioned about Ibn al-Qayyim is correct. He quoted his Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah as saying this in two of his books, which you mentioned in the question.
This Thikr is legitimate. What is problematic however is its fixation to a specific number, namely forty times. The basis of the problem is that it involves restricting a certain act of worship to a certain time and a certain number. This is a restriction of something that is unrestricted in the Sharee'ah, and it opposes what Ibn Taymiyyah and other scholars have affirmed.
Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah said: “ It is not right for anyone to institute for people any kind of Athkaar (remembrances) or invocations of prayer that have not been prescribed (by Sharee'ah), and to make them a regular act of worship which people practice regularly as they practice the five prayers regularly. In fact, this consists in innovating an act of obedience which Allaah has not allowed, in contrast to the invocations of prayer which one says occasionally without making them traditions for people. If it is not known that the latter comprises of a forbidden signification, it is not permissible to assert that it is forbidden, although it may entail being so without one realizing it. This is similar to when one invokes Allaah in prayer when necessary with an invocation with which he is inspired at that time. This and the like of it are similar. ” [End of quote]

Therefore, the statement of Ibn al-Qayyim which he quoted from Ibn Taymiyyah both, should be understood according to the above clear statement. And we should seek an excuse for Ibn Taymiyyah as he may have relied on a Hadeeth which we have not come across, or may have relied upon a statement of a Companion, and there are other possibilities that do not make it permissible for us to have recourse to this Thikr on a regular basis and with this particular number and at a time that is specified for doing so, unless we come across sound evidence for this specification. both, should be understood according to the above clear statement.

So, you can use this one as a backup and the question is, how scholars have recommended or encouraged it? However, Ibn Taymiyyah is a human and is bound to make mistake so you don't follow what has no basis from Qur'an and sunnah

Characteristics of a Wali of Allah
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

O you who believe! Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger and make not vain your deeds.” [Soorah Muhammad (47): 33]
“He who obeys the Messenger had obeyed Allah” [Soorah An-Nisa (4): 80]
He also says: “Whatsoever the Messenger gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you refrain from it.”
Thus, whoever believes that any waly has a way to Allah without following the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) is a kaafir, and is an ally of the devil.
Actions of the Allies of Allah
The allies of Allah are of two levels: forerunners those who brought near – and those of the right hand who act in moderation. Allah, the Exalted says reminding the Day of Judgement:
“And you (all) will be in three kinds (i.e separate groups). So those on the Right Hand and Who will be those of the Right Hand? And those on the Left Hand and who will be those on the Left Hand? And those foremost will be foremost in Paradise. They will be those nearest to Allah.” [Soorah al-Waqiyah (56): 8-12]
And again Allah says in the end of the same Soorah: “Then, if the dying person be of the Muqarraboon (those brought near to Allah.) (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of delights (Paradise). And if he be of those on the Right Hand. Then there is safety and peace for those on the Right Hand. But if he be of the denying then for him is entertainment with boiling water. And burning in Hell-Fire.” [(56): 88-94]
And the actions of these two groups are mentioned in the Hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam):
“Allah says: “Whoever takes a Wali (loyal slave) of Mine an enemy, I will wage war on him; and My slave will not perform any act with which he draws closer to Me, more beloved to Me then when he fulfills what I have ordained on him; and My salve will keep drawing closer to Me by performing the Nawafil (voluntary acts of worship) until I love him, and when I love him, I will be his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hands with which he strikes, and his legs with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him; and if he seeks refuge with Me, I will grant him refuge.” [Saheeh Bukharee]
Consequently, the righteous – those of the Right Hand are those who seek to come close to Allah with obligatory actions: they do that which Allah has ordered them to do, and avoid that which Allah has forbidden them, and do not demand of themselves the doing of the commendable but less than obligatory (i.e. mandoob), or the avoiding of some of the disrecommendable of the allowed (i.e. makrooh)
As for the forerunners those brought near, they sought to come close to Allah with extra efforts after the obligatory. They did the obligatory and the commendable, and avoided the forbidden and the non-recommended. When they sought to come close to Him with everything within their ability of that which they love, Allah’s love for them became complete, as Allah says: “…My salve will keep drawing closer to Me by performing the Nawafil (voluntary acts of worship) until I love him…” [Saheeh Bukharee]
The Allies of Allah have no Special Appearance
The allies of Allah have no special appearance with which they differ form other people. They have no special dress from other than just being permissible. Rather, they are to be found in all categories of the nation of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam). However, the Qur’aan and the Sunnah show clearly that the best people in the sight of Allah is the one with the most of Taqwa (pious practice):
“O people, we have created you from a male and a female and made you in peoples and tribes that you may know each other. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the greatest in righteous practice.” [Soorah al-Hujarat (49): 13]
Abu Hurairah narrates in a Saheeh Hadeeth: “The Prophet of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) was asked: “Which people are the best? He said: “Those greatest in taqwa (righteous practice)”… [Bukhareee and Muslim]
Allies of Allah are not ma’soom (protected) from mistakes
It is not a condition for an ally of Allah that he be free of (protected from) mistakes and errors. It is quite possible that some knowledge of the shari’ah may be hidden from him, just as it is possible for him to be confused about some issues in Islam But, he may not necessarily because of this, leave the ranks of allies of Allah, since Allah has overlooked and forgiven for this Ummah error, acts of forgetting, and things done under compulsion:
“There is no burden upon you for that in which you were mistaken, rather that which you have done with the full determination of the heart.” [Soorah Ahzab (33): 5]
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: “When a ruler exerts himself to arrive at the correct ruling, and is correct, he gets two rewards and when he exerts himself but is mistaken, he gets one reward.” [Bukharee and Muslim]
Since, it is possible for any ally of Allah to make a mistake. It can never be obligatory upon the people to believe in everything any one of them says, except that in the case that one of them is a prophet. Rather, it is obligatory for him to measure all of that up to the criterion of that which the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) brought. If it is in agreement therewith then he can accept it, but if it is in disagreement then he must reject it, and if he cannot be sure whether it is in accordance with the Prophet’s message or at variance with it, he must refrain from believing it or applying it.
The second Caliph Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding whom Prophet of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: “In previous nations there were individuals who were addressed (with the truth). If there are such people in my nation, Umar is the one of them.” [Bukharee and Muslim]
“Verily, Allah has put the truth on the tongue of Umar and in his heart.” [At- Tirmidhee (hasan)]
But, Umar always did that which was obligatory upon him: i.e. – to measure things that occurred to him against that with which the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) was sent. He never said: “I am mahaddath, I receive inspiration and visions, and so you should accept that which I say and not oppose me therein.”
Heart is an intuitions and not protected from falling into errors, and so one needs always to measure them against that which has been brought by the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam), the protected from falling into error. And the early scholars of Islam have unanimously agreed that the opinions of any man can be accepted and rejected i.e. they are open to questions except for the statements of the Prophet.
The point we are making here is an issue of complete consensus of the allies of Allah:
It is obligatory upon the allies of Allah to hold tight to the criterion; the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, and no one of them is ma’soom; i.e. protected against falling into errors, such that it is permissible to him or to his followers to follow that which comes to his heart without subjecting it to the test of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. Whoever does not accept this is in no way or shape or form among the allies of Allah, whom Allah has ordered us to emulate. Such a person is either ‘kafir’ or is engaged in extreme and excessive foolishness and ignorance.

Rather, they are to be found in all categories of the nation of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam). However, the Qur’aan and the Sunnah show clearly that the best people in the sight of Allah is the one with the most of Taqwa (pious practice):

“O people, we have created you from a male and a female and made you in peoples and tribes that you may know each other. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the greatest in righteous practice.” [Soorah al-Hujarat (49): 13]

Abu Hurairah narrates in a Saheeh Hadeeth: “The Prophet of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) was asked: “Which people are the best? He said: “Those greatest in taqwa (righteous practice)”… [Bukhareee and Muslim]

Allies of Allah are not ma’soom (protected) from mistakes

It is not a condition for an ally of Allah that he be free of (protected from) mistakes and errors. It is quite possible that some knowledge of the shari’ah may be hidden from him, just as it is possible for him to be confused about some issues in Islam But, he may not necessarily because of this, leave the ranks of allies of Allah, since Allah has overlooked and forgiven for this Ummah error, acts of forgetting, and things done under compulsion:

“There is no burden upon you for that in which you were mistaken, rather that which you have done with the full determination of the heart.” [Soorah Ahzab (33): 5]

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: “When a ruler exerts himself to arrive at the correct ruling, and is correct, he gets two rewards and when he exerts himself but is mistaken, he gets one reward.” [Bukharee and Muslim]

Since, it is possible for any ally of Allah to make a mistake. It can never be obligatory upon the people to believe in everything any one of them says, except that in the case that one of them is a prophet. Rather, it is obligatory for him to measure all of that up to the criterion of that which the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) brought. If it is in agreement therewith then he can accept it, but if it is in disagreement then he must reject it, and if he cannot be sure whether it is in accordance with the Prophet’s message or at variance with it, he must refrain from believing it or applying it.

The second Caliph Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding whom Prophet of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: “In previous nations there were individuals who were addressed (with the truth). If there are such people in my nation, Umar is the one of them.” [Bukharee and Muslim]

“Verily, Allah has put the truth on the tongue of Umar and in his heart.” [At- Tirmidhee (hasan)]

But, Umar always did that which was obligatory upon him: i.e. – to measure things that occurred to him against that with which the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) was sent. He never said: “I am mahaddath, I receive inspiration and visions, and so you should accept that which I say and not oppose me therein.”

Heart is an intuitions and not protected from falling into errors, and so one needs always to measure them against that which has been brought by the Prophet (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam), the protected from falling into error. And the early scholars of Islam have unanimously agreed that the opinions of any man can be accepted and rejected i.e. they are open to questions except for the statements of the Prophet.

The point we are making here is an issue of complete consensus of the allies of Allah:

It is obligatory upon the allies of Allah to hold tight to the criterion; the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, and no one of them is ma’soom; i.e. protected against falling into errors, such that it is permissible to him or to his followers to follow that which comes to his heart without subjecting it to the test of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. Whoever does not accept this is in no way or shape or form among the allies of Allah, whom Allah has ordered us to emulate. Such a person is either ‘kafir’ or is engaged in extreme and excessive foolishness and ignorance.
