IN THE FIRST HOUR
In the Name of Allāh. AlhamduliLlah, it’s another day of Jumu’ah. From the rulings of Jumu’ah prayer is getting to the Masjid (for prayer) at its early time (i.e. the first hour). As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Abu Hurayrah (RadiyaLlahu ‘Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever does Ghusl […]
MORE ABOUT THE SALAH
In the Name of Allāh. I earlier discussed the obligation of Jumu’ah prayer that, the one who abandons the Jumu’ah prayer without a valid reason (in Islam) is undoubtedly a sinner. However, the exempted (i.e. those known to have valid excuses) include a traveler (who can shorten his prayer), a sick (who is not vibrant […]
THE PRAYER ITSELF
In the Name of Allāh. Perfect praise is due to Allāh who made the Jumu’ah prayer an act of worship, to cleanse us through it from our sins and to elevate our positions before Him.

A BETTER DAY TO DIE

MAKE IT LOOSEN!
In the Name of Allah. Isn’t it nauseating and appalling to see Muslim women nakedly dressed in the House of Allah? Friday is not an exclusion from other days. They wear skimpy and tight dresses. Ordinarily, a Muslim woman should pray in her room. However, she may equally pray in the Masjid with due permission […]
HEARTS ARE SEALED
In the Name of Allah. I read a post this morning on research conducted to show that most of the countries applying Islamic Principles have their citizens not traditionally Muslims. It also discusses how worse the condition of the Muslims is vis-à-vis moral vices. Isn’t it flummoxing and questionable that a Muslim correctly bags sound […]
SPEAK GOOD OR REMAIN SILENT!
Do you know what a lot of people waste their time on today? Vain talk (or laghw in Arabic)! Useless talks that include backbiting, gossiping, carelessly commenting on social media posts, etc. The vain talk used to solely be an issue when a group of people gathered together, but with the advent of smartphones and […]
