Barka Jum'ah.

Let's not forget all the etiquette of the day. May Allah accept it from us. Amin.

Hmm,

@jmakinde

People like nadiamalik should be ignored. There are better things to do,

@topic

I've not had time yet to visit the school. When I do, insha Allah, I'll let you know.

Asalam alaykum,

What's the ruling on celebrating anniversaries, like wedding anniversary. Note: I don't mean celebrating in the sense of throwing a large party and stuff. Just an in-house thing with your hubby or you two going out to have a nice time together. is this permissible?

@justfash

Asalam alaykum,
How was your nikkah day and how's married life? I really wished to attend but a very close relative had hers too that same day at Festac 1st gate.

Happy married life!

Aamin, wa iyaakum.

toba:
It means your allah doesnt have love.
God of the bible doesnt forbid us marrying muslims,yet your allah forbids u. So which is a loving God?

It is of Allah's love that He warns us not to marry unbelievers in order not to fall into error and misguidance. Marriage is a strong bond. It is enough to live peacefully with them, do business together etc, but marriage, no way!

And besides, 'God of the bible' cannot forbid you from doing what will benefit you here and in the hereafter so he (or they, according to you guys, 3 gods right?) won't forbid it.

Stop deceiving yourself with this noise about love. You don't even have enough to share among yourselves not to talk of extending it.

@Lagosboy

Well done bro. Good to have you back.

jazakallah khayran brother.

@topic
We should not also joke with lies. For example, saying something that's not true and saying afterward that 'i was only joking' is also unacceptable in Islam.

Eni ti i ba ki se musulumi ni keferi.

@babs

Wa alaykum salam brother. Yes, you have not really been constant here yourself. I've been very busy managing domestic life with academics.

I've been searching for a good islamic school for some time now but I've not really been satisfied with the ones I've seen. i just discovered one at yaba and I hear it's ok but I'm yet to go see the school. Insha Allah, I'll keep us posted.

There is one Ar-rahman Montessori school at magodo, Shangisha not far from CMD. There are other few good ones but they aren't montessori.

I'm also looking for good islamic school for my kids around ilupeju, palm avenue, Mushin or idi-araba. Suggestions will be appreciated.

toba, nothing for you!

Musulumi ma fe musulumi, ki keferi lo fe keferi.

Asalam alaykum,

barka Jum'a!

It's a touching sermon indeed, one that draws one to tears. We (muslims) will do a lot better if we reflect on it always. may Allah help us.

@jarus
jazakallah khayran.

Asalam alaykum,

Does cleaning up for a child/baby who defeacates or urinates invalidates one's ablution?

What if I'm in salah and a baby crawls up to me and urinates on my clothing, do I continue praying or break up to clean up, perform ablution and repeat my prayer?

Asalam alaykum,

There is an authentic hadith that mentions the virtue of reciting surah Kahf on Fridays. It states that " For whoever recites surah al-Kahf on friday, it will be a light for him from that friday to the next." (Baihaqi and Al-Haakim).

The recent edition of an-Naseehah magazine discusses the etiquettes of friday prayer.

Islam is a complete way of life. Each morning I wake up, I thank Allah for keeping me on the path o Islam.

Those who hide do not know Islam well enough. If they do, they'll flaunt it.

If your story is true (I wonder why you can't provide a source), then it means the so-called Imam does not know Islam enough to answer those questions. There's no reason for him to be lost if he has a good knowledge about Islam.
Are there no instances in the bible where 'believers' are ordered to kill nonbelievers.

What special difference do you want to make

@uplawal

congrats on your nikkah. may it forever be a blessed union.

There's an outfit here in Nigeria, Arabel, with good bridal wears for sisters, you may order for one.

Asalam alaykum all,

thanks for asking after run-aways like me. It's been a really busy world out here. So I continously appreciate the effort of you guys who keep this section alive. Jazakumullah khayran.

justfash50, may Allah make d day a pleasant one for you, bless your nikkah and never give you cause to regret going into it. Please send us the address, is it Lagos?

The anonymous sister, I think you should try and leave what happened in your parents home behind you and move on with life. You should'nt go into marriage with the thought of opting out at the slightest excuse. This is why we have a very high rate of divorce these days: Lack of commitment.

No woman wants to be overridden by any man, but every muslim woman must remember that men have been placed as heads of women. The truth of the matter is that no sincere, conscious muslim man would treat his wife with disdain or handle her roughly. He'll always remember the Prophet's saying that 'The best amongst you are those that treat their womn well' (am not sure I get the quote right but am sure that's the content of the hadith).

So what you should pray for as you go into marriage is a pious muslim who'll treat you according to the teachings of Islam. Monogamy or polygeny has little to do with a man's attitude towards his wife. Agood man will remain good and a bad one will remain bad whether in monogamy or polygeny.

@Muhsin
That was an interesting story. Alhamdulilah d thief was caught. may Allah's protection continue to be over us al the time.

Wa alaykum salam,

welcome sister jamilah.

@ALL Muslims,

Asalam alaykum. welldone for the good jobs going on in this section. Your efforts are really appreciated, especially by those of us who are willing at heart to contribute but hardly find the time to do so.

May Allah reward you all abundantly.

Jazakallah khayran Lagosboy. 

I'll check on the aspects u couldn't answer. Gracia!

@topic

If a sister tells you she's engaged or married then I think you should take her word for it. if a sister isn't engaged, I doubt if she'll tell you that she is. Afterall, sisters don't want to remain single so why would she lie about her status.

And by the way, what evidence have you that the sister wasn't telling the truth about her status.

I talk this way because a case happened with me last week where a 'brother' thought I wasn't married and was trying to get fresh with me. I quickly cut him short that i was married and he laughed it off saying I was lying, he said he was very sure I wasn't married that i should come off the joke. He was even telling me I couldn't be more than so and so year old. Well I got pissed off and walked away. I guess he's gone to ask other colleagues of mine about me because i saw that he looked remorseful today.

So before you come out certain about a person's marital status, ask around to verify if the person looks 'unmarried' and you can't take her words for it.

FayeZik:
What is this 'waiting period' about? waiting for what?

I'm talking about waiting period after the first pronunciation of divorce. waiting for the stipulated time for both parties to decide whether they want to go ahead with the divorce or reconcile.

Asalam alaykum,

A woman in her iddah (waiting period), how much right does the husband still have on her?
Can she be without hijab in his presence?
can she cook his meals?
Does she have to seek his permission before going out?
Is it still his responsibility to provide for her needs?

bilms:
so

tell me without the sunnah how do u perform salat?

d Qur'an only told us to perform salat without really telling how, it is from the sunnah that d Prophet (peace be unto him) demonstrated and explain how salat should be done,

this is just an example among many more, so how do u explain this if u shouldn't follow the sunnah?

please seek d truth

he'll soon come out to say u're one of the ignorant. I asked him the same question u asked here and the only answer he gave was that we're ignorant, without proving so.
I'm really interested in knowing how he performs his ablution and the number of rakah he offers for each salah.

isale_gan2:
Salaam Aleikum,


Attending church never for one minute made me interested in switching to that side. On the contrary, it strenghtned my faith because I saw what I never want to be associated with: girls and women dancing around shaking their butts like they were at a party instead of a house of worship. What in the world! No offense to anyone if this is your way, but seriously, after the solemnity of salah, it was an experience to see that. As I said, there are people in my extended family who have changed to born-agains. This is not only affecting Islam, but even other traditinal Christian denominations. Even here in the USA, many Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran churches are full of older parishioners because there is a huge movement to the evangelical/pentecostal style of worship. It is not only in Nigeria and Africa.

The desperation and hardship of life in many places may be contributing to this. To be perfectly frank, the style of worship in churches will attract many, compared to the serious disciplined way of muslim prayer. They get to talk in tongue and be demonstrative, and dance to live loud music and drums? Once the glamour wears off, and more people are fed-up with the constant harrassment to donate money they do not have, while news breaks about another super-rich preacher defrauding the commoners, there will be a shift back.

You have just hit the nail on the head.

Aloy`Emeka:
In other words, your Allah supports nepotism in heaven?.

Can this be coming from a person who sincerely wants to learn?

uplawal:
@jarus,honestly i cant wait but not pikin sha but child infact i want six or seven of them help me include it too in prayers,four boys and three girls or 3girls and3boys, i love large family

LOL. I just heard this joke about pikin, child, kid, issue, recently. And it's really funny. Going by the joke, u shd even prefer 'kids' and 'issues' to pikin and child.

On a more serious note, may Allah grant all your heart's desire in a way that'd be best for you here and in the hereafter.

Funny, even now, I can't still see the post. But since you saw i an Abuzola confirmed, I'll let it go.

Jarus,

I sent a post to the thread 'What Faroul preahed' last night. A few minutes later, it's nowhere to be found. I resent again and the same thing happened, yet it's on my last posts profile. Ki lo nsele?
