spartoo:
hello Wizeboy, Skentelelady I stopped buying from aliexpress for a while and when I tried accessing my account some days ago, my password was said to be incorrect so I opened a new account.
Now th challenge is am being asked for company name, address, tax receipts and other documents I cannot provide because I don't own a company.

Do you hav any idea how I can bypass that?
Thanks for your prompt response.

I am not aware of any aliexpress new policy of providing such information before registering or buying on the site. Hope you didn't make mistake somewhere. All aliexpress will ask when you click on JOIN FREE are your valid email, First Name, Last Name and password.

Moreso, why didn't you click on forgot password when you couldn't remember your password for the old account, in order to reset the password?

I will advise you to reset password for the old account or better still click on Join Free on aliexpress site.

iii) A man who ALLAH had made affluent and with plenty of wealth but who gave to people so that he could be called generous.

Sujood Shukr is the Prostration of Gratitude done when an individual is is surprised by some blessing from Allah. 

It comprises of one prostration, and none of the preconditions needed for prayer are stipulated for it. So it is like sujood at-tilaawah (recitation of the Quran), they both have the same ruling. 

Neither of them have a precondition such as being in a state of purification, facing the qiblah, making the takbeer, making the tasleem.


5a) He finished his ablution, puts his finger in his mouth then raised it to the skies before uttering the Shaadah...... Anything wrong with this? 

It's wrong because there's no basis for this act in the Shariah, the Shaadah is pronounced without putting the finger in the mouth and raising it to the skies. 


5b) The Muhaddhin finished the Iqamah, as normal with لا إله إلا الله then added the Shaadah....... Anything wrong with this?

It's wrong because what's legislated is to pronounce the Iqamah and stop at لا إله إلا الله.

ii) Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things.

DAY TEN QUIZ ANSWERS - 12th Ramadan 1437

1) Prophet of Allah who fathered al-Asbat? 

Yaqub عليه السلام (al-Asbat are the his 12 sons - 12 Jewish tribes). 


2) Surah of the Quran that was revealed in the company of 70,000 angels? 

Surah Al-Anam 


3) Sahaba of the Prophet who saw the Dajjal physically?

Tameem ad-Dari رضى الله عنه ~~ He was a Christian, saw the Dajjal, came to the Prophet in Medina and accepted Islam. 

(Sahih Muslim, Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour, 149).



4) Allah lessens the punishment of Abu Lahab every Monday because he rejoiced (by freeing a slave) on the day Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم was born. 

False.
This narration is not a hadith of the Prophet.
 It's a dream by a relative of Abu Lahab who saw him and asked "What have you encountered" and Abu Lahab said, “I have not found any rest since I left you except that I was given to drink in this (space between his thumbs and his index finger) and that is because of my freeing of Thuwaybah.” ʿ(al-Bukhari, 5101 and Abd  al-Razzāq; 7/477 in  his  Muṣannaf)...... It was alleged that Abu Lahab freed her on the Day the Prophet was born.

That said, every Muslims knows that the dreams of someone that isn't the Prophet isn't taken as a Shariah ruling and again the dream goes against the ayah of the Quran...... Allah says. 
The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a stormy day, they shall not be able to get aught of what they have earned. That is the straying, far away (from the Right Path). (Surah Ibrahim, ayah 18).



5) On the Day of Resurrection, they will say; 

 إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۚ
(Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of Allah)

And they will be told; 

 لُوا لَوْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهَدَيْنَاكُمْ ۖ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ
(If Allah had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape).

This is the conversation between which set of Allah's slave?


The conversation will be between the disbelievers and those that lure them to disbelief (Cc, Surah Ibrahim, ayah 21).

5) Is it necessary to pay zakat out of the crops of a land? How many percent is necessary in consideration of water use to plant the crop?
[b]
It is necessary to pay zakat for all kinds of crops except wood, cane (except sugar cane) and grass if they reach the amount of nisab (about 650 kg). Allah, the Exalted, states the following in the Quran;“O ye who believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you...” (al-Baqara 2/267);“It is He who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.” (al-An’am 6/141). Hazrat Prophet (pbuh) stated the following, “On a land irrigated by rain water or by natural water channels Ushr (i.e. one-tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the land irrigated by the well, half of an Ushr (i.e. one-twentieth) is compulsory.”(Bukhari, Zakat, 55).


As it is stated in the hadith, cultivation of the land and the usage of water are taken into consideration in giving the zakat of the crop. Accordingly, if the land is irrigated by rain, river, stream, brook or their channels, that is without any effort, one-tenth of the crop is given as zakat; if the land is irrigated by buckets, by the well or by a motor, that is, by a way that causes expense, one-twentieth of the crop is given as zakat.

DAY FIVE QUIZ ANSWERS

1) You are unsure of the number of rakaats you prayed. How would we go about correcting it?

[b]In this case, one should assume the least of the two and continue based on this assumption, then perform the two prostrations of doubt after tasleem. An example of this would be one who while praying the dhuhr prayer is completely uncertain whether he has completed three or four raka’aat and cannot determine which is more true. Thus, he would assume the lesser of the two, i.e. three, and complete another raka’ah then sit for the tashahhud, then prostrate two prostrations before saying "salaam." The basis for this ruling is the hadeeth related by Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri, may Allaah be pleased with him, in which he said: the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "If any of you doubts during his prayer and he does not know how many [raka’aat] he has prayed, whether it is three or four, then he should discard and cast away his doubt. He is to continue upon what one is sure of [i.e. the lesser] then perform two prostrations before making tasleem. If he ends up [in reality] praying five [raka’aat], then his prayer will be an intercession for him; and if he ends up completely the [requisite] four [raka’aat] then it is targheeman for shaytaan." (targheeman: i.e., a way of vexing Satan and humiliating and debasing him, as well as rejecting him as a result of his failure to achieve his desire of disturbing the worshipper.) (Al-Nawawi in explaining the hadeeth from Sahih Muslim, 5/60).[/b]


2) Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said Whoever takes an oath by al-Amaanah (the trust), then he is not from us.
What does this mean? 

Basically, the narration means that it's unacceptable for us as Muslims to swear/take a oath by anything other than Allah........ Swearing by our Trust, Lineage, Honor, Wealth, Might, Life or any other thing is Haram. 


The Supplication;
اللَهُمَ صَوِّبهُ و أصِبْ بِهِ و أكْفِنا شَرَهُ
(O Allah aim it at him, and hit him, and suffice us from his evil).

3) is for when? 

للَهُمَ صَوِّبهُ و أصِبْ بِهِ و أكْفِنا شَرَهُ
(O Allah aim it at him, and hit him, and suffice us from his evil)....... Is the supplication for when an individual sees a shooting star. 


4) state an ayah of the Quran that supports the supplication.

Allah says; 
i) 
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا
And verily, we used to sit there in stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush. (Surah Al-Jinn, ayah 9).

ii) 
 مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ
Except one who snatches away something by stealing and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness. (Surah As-Saffat, ayah 10).


5) Which was that Surah of the Qur’an which the Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) had recited when one of his enemies Utba after listening to it fell in Sajda (prostation)?


The first five Ayaaths of Ham-Meem-Sajda
