CAN DUA CHANGE THE QADAR?
One of the interesting aqeedah discourses is the issue of Dua and Qadar. How they relate and work together. Every Muslim would want to know if Dua can change his predestined, so as to intensify more efforts in making Dua for a good worldy affairs and Qadar. Interestingly, there is no direct answer to this […]
WHILE PALESTINE BLEEDS….
I read people throwing support behind the act of terrorism Israel has been perpetrating since over seven decades in Palestine. Unfortunately these same people are supposed educated literates that should get certain points into factor. If they argue they are supporting Israel because it was mentioned in the bible as the Promised Land, then the […]
Cultural Greetings: Prostration and Kneeling Down (Part 2)
We asked earlier,“Then, what is the ruling of Stooping, Bowing, Kneeling and Prostration?” It must be categorically stated that there is no distinctive and clear-cut evidence (دليل قطعي الثبوت) either in the Qur’an or Sunnah of the Prophet that prohibits stooping and Kneeling to greet. And no single hadith was reported in all the Kutub […]
Cultural Greetings: Prostration And Kneeling Down (Part 1)
In some Africa countries, most especially Southern Nigeria; in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, bowing or prostrating is the predominant form of greeting known to men; while the females go on their kneels to greet. Some see this as a form of being respectful in greeting while others frown at this cultural act claiming it goes against […]
AL-QARADAAWI ON THE NEO-SALAFIS: THE MISCHIEVOUS AMUKOKO PREACHER…
I don’t have issue with people making refutations or exposing what they believe in as the truth; but please always keep refutations honest. Always be truthful and sincere in your expositions. Knowledge is amaanah and you shall account for it. There’s no benefit in attacking people just because of the hate you posses towards them, […]
BREAKING TTHE BACKBONE OF SALAFIYYAH
Of recent, I’ve tried as much as possible to distance myself from all these Salafiyyah noise going around social media, just because they don’t surprise me anymore and I don’t really see any fact coming from them that needs to be addressed. This isn’t the first time any typical Salafiyyah caller will clampdown on the […]
Debating With The Salafis
This evening, I had a talk with a top scholar of the Amukoko Salafiyyah branch. After which I respectfully challenged him to a public dialogue, he made it clear to me reasons they can’t come out to hold a dialogue, because they posit it may not really benefit the audience but cause more confusion. Even […]
TAWASSUL FROM THE SALAF (Volume 4)
The upshot is that the recommendedness of tawassul to Allah The Most High – through the living or the dead – is the position of the Shafi’i school, which is why both the author of Shaafi’iyyah, Ibn Naqib Al-Misri, and Imam Nawawi in his “Al-Adhkar (281-282)”, and “al-Majmu” explicitly record that “tawassul” through the Prophet […]
THE RULING AND EVIDENCES OF TAWASSUL (Volume 3)
In another ahadeeth, the Prophet said:من زارني بعد موتي فكانما في حياتي.“Whoever visits my grave after my death, it is just the same as visiting me in my lifetime.” reported by Bayhaqi in Sha’b al-eeman no 4154 من جائني زاءرًا لا تهمه حاجة إلا زيارتي كان حقاً علي أكون له شفيعاً يوم القيامة.“Whoever comes to […]
TAWASSUL/TABARRUK WITH THE PROPHET’S RELICS AND RIGHTEOUS SCHOLARS (Volume 2)
Take note! There are those who antagonise using the Prophet (or a righteous scholar/saint) as an intermediary (waseela), during his lifetime and also after his death, and some among the antagonist only claim that it was only permissible during his lifetime and impermissible after his death. Both are highly insincere in their verdicts. The former […]
