 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Ahad, 6th day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Sunday, 5th of June, 2022). DOES SAYINNG I DIVORCE YOU 3 TIMES COUNT AS 3 DIVORCES?.  BismilLah 


The fuqaha’ differed regarding one who issues two or three talaaqs together. The view I favour is that it counts as one divorce (talaaq), regardless of whether he utters them in one phrase, such as saying, “You are thrice divorced”; or he says them separately, such as saying, “You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced”.  This is the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may ALLAH have mercy on him), and it was regarded as more likely to be correct by Shaykh as-Sa‘di (may ALLAH have mercy on him) and Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may ALLAH have mercy on him).


They quoted as evidence the report narrated by Muslim (1472) from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may ALLAH be pleased with him), who said: At the time of the Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him), Abu Bakr and the first two years of ‘Umar’s caliphate, a threefold divorce was counted as one. Then ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab said: People have become hasty in a matter in which they should take their time. I am thinking of holding them to it. So he made it binding upon them.


These scholars (may ALLAH have mercy on them) favoured the view that divorce does not count as such except after taking the wife back or doing a new marriage contract with her. So if someone divorces his wife one day, then divorces her again during the ‘iddah following the first talaaq, the second talaaq does not count as such.


Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may ALLAH have mercy on him) said: The view that is most likely to be correct regarding all these matters is that there is no threefold talaaq at all, unless the man divorces his wife, then takes her back (before her ‘iddah ends), then divorces her again, in which case the second divorce counts as such, or he divorces her and her ‘iddah ends, then he does a new marriage contract with her, then he divorces her again – and so on until he has divorced her three times; otherwise it does not count as three. This is the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may ALLAH have mercy on him), and it is the correct view."


Based on that, so long as the husband uttered the word of the second and third divorce during the ‘iddah following the first talaaq in which he had not taken back his wife, then only the first talaaq counts as such, and he may take his wife back so long as the ‘iddah has not yet ended. ALLAH KNOWS BEST. May ALLAH keeps 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. 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...
