You are a ghost viewer then. Hope you alright.



It is part of human. This is not gonna be the last either. Just like presidential elections, every candidate will keep repeating themselves every 4 years.

"We will make this country great again"

Obama said the same 8yrs ago. Trump and Clinton are saying the same now. The next president will say the same thing and nothing changes. And I am quiet sure George Washington said the same thing before he was elected . So this repetition isn't going to stop.

LOL
Am alright, I usually come around to moderate the section but some of the discussions are just #yawns

I have been around, just dont comment much. Its usually the same thing over and over again.

LOL, the negativity on this thread thou.

There are things to consider before moving threads to front page, different things.

Dominique is a supermod meaning she is also a mod on this section, and actually has more power in moving threads to frontpage than I do. So if you mention her before a thread gets moved, it's all the same.

@lexiconkabir

And what reports did you report that got unattended to?

lexiconkabir:
Albaqir, nobody is saying the other two mods are relinquishing their post, but i feel an extra mod will be of good benefits, as at last week Friday, none of the two mods were active to help push Islamic topics to frontpage, i had to quote sister dominiq.ue to help us with that after quoting the two mods we have here, at times I've been banned from this section by anti spam bot with nobody available to help lift the ban, so these are the things we are talking about, not just deleting threads upon thread like you tried to make it seem, and as for the report button, we would still need an active mod to respond to the report right? Of course! So an additional mod is not a bad idea at all....

I might not have replied your mail. But I unban you. Anti spam usually bans for 24hrs.

And for frontpage, the truth is sometimes they aren't very great threads for Frontpage. Usually same thing over and over again. How many front page threads gets past 3 pages?

Empiree:
You didnt understand my post?


By the way, I heard you recently did Nikkah. May Allah Bless your union. Ameena

I did, was asking the same question too.

Jazakalahu khayran. Thank you.

Salam Alaykum

Kindly suggest threads/post here for frontpage.

Post the links to the thread


Thank you

Jazakalahu khayran

Empiree:
Are mukina & Sissie relinquishing the post?. Why is the need for new MOD?

?

lexiconkabir:
Oh, then we will just wait on maclatunji to give us full details on the mod thingy...and a better method on reaching seun

Mac is no longer a mod

Contact17:


Am not sure ooo. Don't the mods get paid? Don't think seun will accept.

Mods don't get paid, if you want to be a mod send a mail to Seun applying for the position.

AbuHammaad:
I noticed there has been some sanity in this section in recent times. I haven't seen those hateful Anti-Islamic trolls on any of the
threads. Do we have new mods or what?

newnas mrolai demmzy15 lexiconkabir contact17

If we still have them here, is there any way we can get them permanently banned from this section?

This section has been quite peaceful and quiet, there aren't trolls like that compared to before.

What the section needs is more active threads, contributers etc. Not Mods. Because we don't have much trolls and you can't have 100% no troll situation.

Treaty of hudaibiyyah:

This is what Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah has agreed with Suhayl ibn ‘Amr’.” After these opening lines the treaty between the two sides was written comprising the following terms:

1) To lay aside from war and refrain from hostilities during the period of the truce.

2) If anyone from the Quraysh embraced Islam and came to Muhammad (saw) without the permission of his guardian, he would return him to them, and if anyone from those with Muhammad came to the Quraysh, they need not return him to Muhammad.

3) Whosoever wished from amongst the Arabs to enter into an alliance with Muhammad could do so, and he who wished to enter into an alliance with the Quraysh could do so.

4) The Muslims and Muhammad’s Companions had to retreat from Makkah that year and return the following year when they would be free to enter Makkah and stay there three nights. They would be allowed to carry swords in their sheaths and nothing more.

5) The treaty was for a limited period of time, ten years from the date of its ratification.

The Messenger of Allah (saw) and Suhayl signed the treaty amidst agitation and anger of the Muslim army. Suhayl returned to Makkah leaving the Messenger of Allah (saw) disturbed and exasperated by the reaction of the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah (saw) felt awkward and depressed about the stand of the Muslims, their eagerness and zeal to fight, and he went to his wife Umm Salamah who was accompanying him and confessed to her his anguish. She said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, verily the Muslims will not disobey you, they only are zealous about their Deen and their Iman in Allah and your Message, shave your head and slaughter your animals and you will find that the Muslims will follow suit, then march with them back to Madinah.”

The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out and shaved his head, marking the ‘Umrah after which he felt calm and satisfied. When the Muslims saw him in that state they rushed to slaughter the animals and shave their heads. Then Allah’s Messenger (saw) returned with the Muslims to Madinah. When they were half way back, Sura al-Fat’h was revealed. Allah’s Messenger (saw) recited it in its entirety and it was then that everyone realized that the treaty of Hudaybiyah was indeed a clear victory for the Muslims.

As soon as the Muslims had arrived in Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (saw) began drawing up plans to deal with Khaybar and spread the Message of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula while strengthening Islam within it. He (saw) wanted to take advantage of his truce with the Quraysh to concentrate on abolishing a few pockets of resistance and to establish foreign ties. The treaty enabled him (saw) to achieve this. The Messenger of Allah (saw) managed to carry out the plan that he had so shrewdly pieced together under the pretext of performing the Hajj. Despite all the various difficulties and obstacles, he (saw) managed to achieve all of the political goals he had set out to achieve. Thus, without a shadow of a doubt, the treaty of Hudaybiyah was a great victory. Some of its achievements were:
1) The Messenger of Allah (saw) managed to create public opinion for the Message of Islam among the Arabs in general and among the Quraysh in particular. This enhanced the respect of the Muslims and diminished that of Quraysh.

2) The belief and trust of the Muslims in Allah’s Messenger (saw) was demonstrated. It proved that the Iman of the Muslims was unshakable, their courage and readiness to sacrifice themselves were second to none.

3) The Muslims learned that political maneuvers were an effective means to promote the Islamic Da’wah.

4) The Muslims who remained in Makkah among the disbelievers formed a pocket within the enemy’s stronghold.

5) The Hudaybiyah treaty demonstrated that the method in politics is derived from the same thought (source), truthfulness and faithfulness. However, the means must be coupled with shrewdness, and this can be achieved by concealing the means and the real aims from the enemy.

Umm Ayman raḍyAllāhu 'anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) was one of the early adherents of Islam in Mecca and was one of those who faced persecution from Quraysh. She raḍyAllāhu 'anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) was among those who migrated from Mecca to Al-Madinah.


Usamah bin Zayd raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) was one of the beloved companions of the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him).
Both of Usamah's raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) parents, Zayd bin Harithah raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) who was Arab and Umm Ayman raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) who was Ethiopian, were freed from slavery by the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him). He was born in Mecca seven years prior to hijrah and is described as having black skin.

Sa'ad Al-Aswad As-Sulami (RA).
Sa'ad was from the Ansari, Sa'ad was later martyred in a battle in which it is narrated that the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) wept over him while holding him in his lap.

Julaybib: Julaybib accepted Islam in Al-Madinah, thus is described as one of the men from the Ansar. His lineage was unknown among the Arabs which made him an outcast. According to ibn Al-Jawzi in Tanwir Al-Ghabash, he was described as black (aswad).

Ammar bin Yasir raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him).
'Ammar is described in Al-Mustadarak 'ala As-Sahihayn by Al-Hakim and authenticated by Adh-Dhahabi as being tall in stature, black in skin color and having kinky hair. His father Yasir raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) was Arab.
'Ammar was one of the earliest Muslims to accept Islam and was regularly tortured along with his family.


Abu Dharr raḍyAllāhu 'anha (may Allāh be pleased with her).
Abu Dharr's full name was Jundab bin Junadah from the Tribe of Ghifar. He was described by ibn Sa'ad in At-Tabaqat Al-Kubra and others as being tall with brown (asmar) skin.

Ayman bin 'Ubayd raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him).

Ayman's roots were Abyssinian through his mother. He was born through the union of his mother Barakah, a woman who was eventually freed from slavery by the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and his father 'Ubayd bin Zayd who was from the tribe of Harith bin Khazraj; their marriage took place in Mecca in the Era of Al-Jahiliyyah. Ayman was also born in Mecca.

2a, Who is the first ambassador of Islam

B. What's the dua for travelling?

Answers and scores

ANSWERS
a) False

b) True
It is indicated in the saheeh report from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, according to which he said: Soorat al-Ahzaab was similar in length to Soorat al-Baqarah or more.
[Narrated by Abu Dawood at-Tayaalisi in his Musnad (no. 540); ‘Abd ar-Razzaaq in al-Musannaf (no. 5990); an-Nasaa’i in as-Sunan al-Kubra (no. 7150).

From Zir, he said: Ubai ibn Ka'ab said to me: How do you read Surat Al-Ahzab or how long is it? I said: Seventy three verses. He said: I saw it when it was as long as Al-Baqara, and we read from it that If the Shaikh and the Shaikha commit adultery then stone them, a preventative measure from Allah, and Allah is the All-wise and All-knowing.”
(Musnad Imam Ahmad; 20261)

**This is one of the many evidences that some ayats of the Quran were abrogated by Allah, The All-Wise,
Allah says..... "Whichever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it" (Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 106). **

c) False
‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas narrated that: “The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) drew aside the curtain when he had a cloth wrapped around his head during his final illness, and said: ‘O Allah, I have conveyed (the Message)’ three times. ‘There is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a person sees or is seen by others for him. But I have been forbidden to recite the Qur’an when bowing and prostrating, so when you bow, then glorify your Lord and when you prostrate, then strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response.’”
(Sunan An-Nisai Vol. 2, Book 12, Hadith 1121).

**Good dreams in the narration above means those dreams that are in conformation with the rulings of the Religion and not ones that add to or remove from it....... Anyone that claims he had a dream and was given a something to add to, and/or remove from the deen is a LIAR.
ALLAH HAS COMPLETED THE AFFAIRS OF THIS RELIGION THROUGH HIS MESSENGER**

1. What is iddah?
B. Explain the different types of iddah

2 what are the procedures for a woman to seek divorce

3. Name 5 female companions of the Prophet SAW excluding his family members and write a little about them

Answers and scores

1. Iddah is the waiting period a woman must observe after the death of her husband or a divorce

B. Different types of Iddah:

If she is pregnant, her iddah ends after she gives birth this is for both a divorced woman and a widow

For a divorced woman who has passed menopause her iddah is 3 months

For women who still have periods and got divorced their iddah is 3 monthly menstrual circle

If the woman is divorced before intercourse or intimacy with her, then she does not have to observe any ‘iddah at all


The ‘iddah of a woman whose husband has died is four months and ten days


2. Procedures for a woman to seek divorce: This procedure is known as Khula

Khula’ means the separation of the wife in return for a payment; the husband takes the payment and lets his wife go, whether this payment is the mahr which he gave to her, or more or less than that.

The basic principle concerning this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your wives) any of your Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) which you have given them, except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allaah (e.g. to deal with each other on a fair basis). Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allaah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul‘ (divorce)” Q2:229


The evidence for that from the Sunnah is that the wife of Thaabit ibn Qays ibn Shammaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I do not find any fault with Thaabit ibn Qays in his character or his religious commitment, but I do not want to commit any act of kufr after becoming a Muslim.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her, “Will you give back his garden?” Because he had given her a garden as her mahr. She said, “Yes.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Thaabit: “Take back your garden, and divorce her.”


1. From this case the scholars understood that if a woman cannot stay with her husband, then the judge should ask him to divorce her by khula’; indeed he should order him to do so.

The wife request her husband divorces her or goes to the court

With regard to the way in which it is done, the husband should take his payment or they should agree upon it, then he should say to her “faaraqtuki” (I separate from you) or “khaala’tuki (I let you go), or other such words

Talaaq (i.e., divorce) is the right of the husband, and does not take place unless it is done by him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Talaaq is the right of the one who seizes the leg (i.e., consummates the marriage)” i.e., the husband. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2081;
