 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-khamis. 1st day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Thursday 14th January 2021).

THE KINDS OF WATER FOR PURIFICATION in ISLAM. BismilLah. 


Water is broken down into categories: Mutlaq water, used water, water mixed with pure elements, and water mixed with impure elements. Mutlaq Water is that which is considered inherently pure, and therefore may be used to purify oneself.  The types include:

a. Rain, Snow etc b. Sea Water: Abū Hurairah ra, states:

“It’s water is pure and it’s dead (animals) are lawful” (related by “the five” and Al-Bukhāri calls it sahīh). c. Zamzam Water.


Used Water is that which is left over after one does Wudhu or Ghusl. This water may be used to purify oneself. The Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam wiped his head with the water remaining on his hands from wudhu’.”(Ahmad & Abū Dawūd narrated). 


Water Mixed with Pure Elements includes water that has been mixed with substances that are considered inherently pure. Examples of pure substances are dough, flowers, leaves, saffron, soap and others. Such water is considered pure so long as the mixture is small enough that you can still call it water. If the substance becomes so overwhelming that the mixture is no longer called water, then it cannot be used to purify oneself.


Water Mixed with Impure Elements includes water that is mixed with impure substances (najasah) that is mentioned later. This water is split into two categories: The impure substance alters the taste, color, or odor of the water.  This water is not to be used for purification. Ibn al-Mundhir and Ibn al-Mulaqqin state that there is consensus on this matter.

The Impure substance does not alter the taste, color, or odor of the water.  This water is allowed for purification. A Hadīth narrated by Abū Hurairah states: When a Bedouin urinated in the masjid the Prophet PBUH said, “Leave him and pour a bucket of water or a container of water over his urine.  You have been raised to be easy on the people, not to be hard on them.”

It appears that this was used as evidence because it was sufficient for the companions to pour water over the urine, thereby making the ground pure and appropriate for Salāh. Had the mixture been considered impure then the ground would not be appropriate for Salāh. Thus, the water was a large enough amount that none of its characteristics were changed and it was considered pure after mixing with the urine. To be continued tomorrow in ShaaALLAH.  May ALLAH increase us in beneficial knowledge. 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...

  THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Saturday, 10th February 2024). SOME PROPHETIC TEACHINGS BEFORE GOING TO BED. Bismillah. 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. Sleep on the right side of your body facing the Qibla with the right hand underneath the head like a pillow and with the knees slightly bent.  Recite Aayatul Kursy and the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlaas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas) of the Quran, dry blow air to your palms then wipe over your entire body as much as possible, beginning with your head and face and then all parts of the body, do this 3 times if you can or atleast once whenever you are feeling lazy like myself sometimes😊. It's sunnah from the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Don't forget to offer your witir Salaat before sleeping or offer your two rakaats sha...
