     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...

  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...

  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....

  ❓ 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 ...

🔺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 a...
