     The Sharee'ah definition of bid'ah: "A newly invented way (beliefs or action) in the religion, in imitation of the Sharee'ah, by which nearness to Allaah is sought, while not being supported by any authentic proof - neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed."   In simple language, bid’ah is any newly invented matter in the DEEN, an act that a person does, with the intention of coming close to Allaah or seeking reward for it, but it is not supported by any authentic basis or proof from the Qur'aan or Sunnah.  We as Muslims should follow only the way of the Prophet sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam and the way he practiced the deen.  He sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam WAS and IS our best example to follow.  He UNDERSTOOD the deen the BEST and PRACTICED it the BEST.  And the Prophet sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam gave people like me and you, specific INSTRUCTIONS to FOLLOW HIM and the way of his Sahaabah and he WARNED us of innovations

  Not  less  than 200 Nigerian-trained doctors were licensed by the government of the United Kingdom in just one month, culled through Punch. Checks on the website of the General Medical Council, the body which licenses and maintains the official register of medical practitioners in the UK, showed that the GMC licensed at least 200 Nigerian-trained doctors between August 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022. The statistics also showed that between January 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022, about 1,307 doctors trained in Nigeria were licensed in the UK as Nigeria continues to battle one of the worst situations of brain drain in its history. Overall, 10,296 doctors who obtained their degrees in Nigeria currently practise in the UK. However, Nigerian doctors who got medical qualifications in schools outside the country are not included in the data. The rate of migration of medical doctors has recently become a matter of concern. The Nigerian Medical Association, while lamenting the high rate of

  Sajdah ash-Shukr is the prostration of thankfulness that a person does out of gratefulness to Allaah.  It is just ONE sajdah and is done ANY time, when we receive some sudden unexpected news of a blessing, or relief from some calamity.  🔺It was the practice of the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.  🍃 Abu Bakrah radhi Allaahu anhu said: “When the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam heard any news that made him glad, he would fall down prostrating to Allaah, may He be exalted.” (Ibn Maajah and others - hasan by al-Albaani) 🍃 And Abu Bakrah also said: “He saw the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam, when news reached him that his troops had prevailed over their enemy, he was lying with his head in ‘Aa’ishah’s lap, then he got up and fell in prostration.” (Ahmad, saheeh) 🔺 Sajdah ash-Shukr was also a practice among the Sahaabah.  Abu Bakr radhi Allaahu anhu fell into sajdah of shukr when he heard that Musaylimah (the false prophet) had been killed.  And Ka’b ibn Maalik radhi

  ❓ QUESTION❓ I see some people, after they're done with Salaah, doing a separate sajdah to make duaa? Is that okay? 🌿 ANSWER🌿 Doing this is not correct.  That’s because there’s NO EVIDENCE of making a separate sajdah outside of Salaah, ‘specifically’ to make duaa in the Sharee’ah.  The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam himself NEVER made a sajdah separately outside the salah just so that he could make duaa NOR did he teach his sahaabah to do so.  If it was something good, he Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam would have done it himself and would definitely have taught us.  But we see that there's no proof of him doing that.  💎 Why is that wrong? ▪️Dua is an act of worship. And the basic principle as far as acts of worship are concerned is "tawqeef", which means doing NOTHING EXCEPT that which is PROVEN from the Qur’aan and Sunnah.    So we should worship Allaah ONLY in the ways that He has prescribed.  Anything else is NOT ALLOWED, NOR is it CORRECT.  ▪️When we loo

🔺1. Sajdah is done on SEVEN bones.  🍃The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said: “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead,” and he pointed to his nose, “and on the two hands, the two knees and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).” (al-Bukhaari, 812; Muslim, 490) So it is really important that we pay attention to this and make sure that we do sajdah on all seven parts.  This is so important that, if someone doesn’t prostrate on all of these seven parts, although he’s able to, then some of the scholars even say that his sajdah is not valid.  🍃Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:  “It is not permissible for a worshipper to lift up any of these seven parts of the body when prostrating, because the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:  “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead,” and he pointed to his nose, “and on the two hands, the two knees and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 812; Muslim,

  🌿 If a woman is praying at home on a Friday afternoon by herself, should she pray Jumu’ah or should she pray Dhuhr?🌿 First of all, Jumu’ah is not obligatory on women or those (men and women) who are sick, or traveling, etc.  🍃ً The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:  “Jumu’ah is a duty that is required of every Muslim in congregation except four: a slave, a woman, a child or a sick person.” (Abu Dawood (1067); saheeh by al-Albaani)  Secondly, Jumu’ah is ONLY VALID in congregation at the masjid.  It is NOT valid at home.  So if you MISSED going to the masjid on Friday afternoon for some reason, then you MUST pray DHUHR.  It is NOT VALID for you to pray Jumu’ah at home.  🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz said: “ If a man does not attend Jumu’ah due to a legitimate excuse such as sickness and so on, or for some other reason, he should pray Dhuhr. Similarly a woman should pray Dhuhr.  Travelers and desert dwellers should also pray Dhuhr, as is indicated by the Sunnah, because during the Fare

  🍃 Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala says: “And to Allaah belongs the most beautiful names, so call on Him by them.” [Surah al-Aa’raaf:180] All of Allaah’s Names are Most Excellent and His Attributes are Perfect and Sublime.  And we should make duaa using these Beautiful Names and call upon our Rabb with using them.  But of these Beautiful Names is That One Special Name that is the Greatest Name of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala (al-Ism al-Aadham). And if one calls upon Allaah with that Name, his duaas would be accepted, and if one asks with it, he would be answered.  🍃1️⃣ Anas radhi Allaahu anhu said that he was sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam and a man was praying then he said in supplication:  ‎اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ " “O Allaah, I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to You; th

  We all make mistakes.  But Alhamdulillaah, Allaah is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.  He provides us opportunities upon opportunities to seek pardon and have our sins forgiven.  One of those opportunities is  “Salaat at-Taubah”.  When one of us sins, we should repent right away and pray two rak’ah prayer with the intention of making sincere taubah to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.  🌷The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said: “ There is no one who commits a sin then purifies himself well and stands and prays two rak’ahs, then asks Allaah for forgiveness, but Allaah will forgive him.” (Abu Dawood—saheeh by al-Albaani) 🍃 HOW TO PRAY Salaat at-Taubah? Salaat at-Taubah is a two rakaah prayer and prayed just like any other prayer.  There are no ‘ special ways’ to read it and NO specific surahs or  adhkaar to be recited.  Just make wudhu then read two rak’aat with the intention of making taubah, regretting what you did from the bottom of your heart and having firm resolve never to re

  Salaat al-Janazah is the funeral prayer that is read when a Muslim passes away.  Praying Salaat al-Janazah is a fardh kifaayah.  That means that if a few in the community pray it, then the rest of the community is absolved of it’s obligation.  But if no one does it, then the whole community is sinful.  It is the deceased person’s right as a Muslim that we pray this Salaat over him, even if had committed major sins.  And this is a source of great reward for the one who reads it.  🌿The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said: "Whoever attends a funeral until he offers the (funeral) prayer will have one qiraat (of reward) and whoever attends until the burial is done will have two qiraats."  It was said: "What are the two qiraats?"  He said: "Like two great mountains." (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 🔵 How to read Salaat al-Janazah Salaat al-Janazah is read quietly and has four takbeeraat.  There are no rukoo or sujood and when the Imaam leads the people, the men

  O my Muslim Brothers and Sisters,  Please pay attention! Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, is talking....talking to you and me, His slaves.... and ordering us that RIBAA (interest) is Haraam.  🍃Allaah is saying: "O you who believe! Fear Allaah and give up what is still due to you from Ribaa if you are (truly) believers." (al-Baqarah:278) And then He WARNS us: "And if you do not do it, then take a notice of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger." [al-Baqarah:279]  Did we read the Ayah carefully? Maybe, we should read it again. What does it say? It says that if we do not give up ribaa (usury), then we should take a notice of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.    AT WAR?!!  With WHO??  With Allaah?! and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam !!?? Subhaan Allaah!! Yaa Allaah! Protect us and save us!! Do we even know what it means to be at war with Allaah and His Messenger  Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam ?? Do we even understand the enormit
