FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul Ahad, 1st day of Rajab (18th March). OBLIGATORY (WAAJIBAAT) AND SUMNAH PART OF WUDUU. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. ALLAH, may He be exalted, says: “O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles”[al-Maa’idah 5:6]. From the above we can notice that the essential parts (“pillars”) of wuduu are six: 1. Washing the face, of which the mouth and nose are part. 2. Washing the arms up to the elbows. Which includes the palms. 3. Wiping the head. Which includes the ears. 4. Washing the feet up to the ankles. 5. Washing these parts of the body in the proper order. 6. Doing these actions consecutively (that is, washing one after the other, with no lengthy lapse of time in between). Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: What is meant by the obligatory (fard) parts of wudoo’ here is the essential parts (pillars). Thus we may understand that the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) use different expressions, so they may describe the obligatory (fard) parts as essential parts (arkaan, lit. pillars) and vice versa, from ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ (1/183). So the obligatory (waajib) parts of wuduu are its pillars or essential parts, which may also be described as fard. They are the actions without which wudoo’ cannot be valid. With regard to saying Bismillaah before doing wuduu, Imam Ahmad was of the view that it is obligatory. However, the majority of scholars are of the view that it is one of the Sunnahs of wuduu’ and is not obligatory. Either way, we are thought to say it so don't ignore it. To be continued in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...

FIRST REMINDER. Yaumul ahad, 11th day of Shawwal (Sunday 23rd May 2021). * _ This may not be true story from a friend but very true and sad reality of our modern world _ * . BismilLah. “The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I tried to get help from all relatives I know but all saying they don't have so I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "I like" and zero comment. So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting a loan of N5000. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me and gave me some money less than I needed. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never answered my calls. In the end, I was ejected. I became homeless. I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fle...

Before climbing onto bed anytime of the day or night, dust the bed thrice with the corner of any clothe. Clean your teeth with Miswaak if possible or with brush and paste. Be in a state of wuduu.
