Next time, when you see an old lady wanting to cross road, do not delay. Go hold her hand and help. When you see an injured cat, mumbling on roadside, do not go past it. When you see two people fighting, do not ignore. When you see a hungry man crying, do not hesitate. When you see an orphan with no clothes, do not neglect. When you are invited for charity work, do not overlook.

When you see, a chance to do good, do not think twice, Be a forerunner! —SpikeyPen

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ يَتَنَزَّلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ، مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ?"
‏
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says, 'Is there anyone who invokes Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?' "

📚 Sahih al-Bukhari 6321
Book 80, Hadith 18

Do you know that in Islam, if a man dies, and is survived by the following heirs:

* Father
* Mother
* Wife
* A male child
* A female child

(Do you know) that all of them will inherit from his estate? Do you also know that their respective shares have been stipulated in the Qur'an, a document that is about 15 centuries old and has never suffered any interpolation or distortion?

Here is it:

Assuming he left a total estate valued at 48million naira (or in any currency for that matter), each heir shall be entitled to the following sum:

* Father = 1/6 of 48million = 8million
* Mother =1/6 of 48million = 8million
* Wife = 1/8 of 48million = 6million
Total = 22 million.
Balance = 26 million

* Son and daughter to share the balance of 26million in ratio 2:1.

* Son = 17.33 million
* Daughter = 8.66 million

Evidence: Qur'an 4:11-12

Now, share the above estate according to your religious book, or culture, or civilisation, and provide appropriate evidence where this provision was made.

YOU HAVE TILL ETERNITY TO DO THAT!

Send to a Muslim to strengthen his/her imaan & to a non-Muslim to see the beauty & equity of our faith chosen to us by Allah Himself through a chosen personality Muhammad (SAW) the best example among creatures.

Thanks.

Alhamdu lillah for Islamic life!

Every time our heart beats, it does so with the permission of its Creator ﺍﻟﻠّـﻪ.
•
And you say you are unfortunate. Blessed are you. Unfortunate are those who died before asking for forgiveness and knew not their Blessings.
•
Repent now before one of those permissions is denied, and your heart does no longer beats.
•
_"By Allah! I have never seen anyone as unjust and oppressive to myself as myself, and I've never found anyone more forbearing, tolerant, and merciful to me than Allah. There is no God but Allah, Exalted are You, I've been of the wrongdoers, forgive me"_

May Allāh (ﷻ) Make Us Of Those Whom He L❤️√ﻉ.

Feminism (The Failed-Social Movement)
By: Muhammad Yahya Sabo
(SpikeyPen)

In all the time I spent reading about Feminists and Feminism i never met with one and that was the reason why i have being asking myself who are those Feminists and What good does Feminists and Feminism ever brought? Because the first time i came across the name was when i was writing a debate on Gender equality in Islam, which i now made it a chapter in my up-coming book. The best Definition that always buzz and rings in my mind is; Feminists are those that denied the fact that the status of women had already being valued and appreciated by Islam and known long before the existence of any bloody feminist and abhor being a wife and exemplary mother. I can remember the first time i read a book titled The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar (the most outrageous book ever published about the conflict between the sexes). The book gave me alot me clues on who feminists really are, for example:

"Feminists are the last ones who still describe men the way they like to see themselves: as egocentric, power-obsessed, ruthless and without inhibitions when it comes to satisfying their instinct".

The worst quandary and predicament is when i started noticing some posts in social media by some of our Northern girls who are directly or indirectly campaigning for this evil belief of feminism, some of those girls are those that were born with silver spoon and attended the best schools in the country or even studied in abroad but lacked in Islamic and local education and ideologies while some of those girls were just a common girls that could manage to speak English, their boyfriends or parents gave them phone and they thought they have every right to preach into people's mind by exposing and criticizing their religion and culture.

You will see a girl who is single by status but having a big mouth to call Hausa men with names saying they are not romantic, uncivilized and likes. I doubt how does she knew hausa man is not romantic?

I came to realize that Feminists are tools designed for fighting not only Islamic ideology but also any non-western culture or ideology and Feminism is a failed social movement because what they are fighting is their friends and themselves.

However, existence of Feminists in Northern Nigeria is likely one of the most effective, destructive and detrimental weapon for destroying our Religion, culture and peace.

Indeed the reward of goodness is nothing but goodness (Q55vs60). May all your good deeds be abundantly rewarded.

22/11/2018

It is obligatory for Muslims to be characterised by good Islamic morals including giving sound advice to others for the sake of Allah and His Messenger.
Our Holy Prophet, Muhammad (s), emphasizes to Muslims that our religion is giving advice to others. He himself came to guide people towards what is right and forbid them from what is wrong. In fact, all prophets (peace be
upon them) came with their Scriptures to advise and guide people towards righteousness and goodness in this world and the Hereafter

Preference of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah: The prophet,PBUH, is reported to have said that the most beloved good deeds to Allah are those done in the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah especially that on Arafat Day. And for this year, the 1st of Dhul Hijjah corresponds to Sunday 12th August, 2018 and Arafat day is most likely Monday 20th August. It is strongly recommended to fast during these days or at least on the day of Arafat. Please share this message, who knows maybe the rewards you will be getting for sharing this message is that which is going to tip your scale of good deeds and secure Al Janna for you.

SIGHTING THE NEW CRESCENT, THE COMMON GROUND

Praise be to Allah.

Let’s not dispute the force of logic; technological advances in respect of weather satellites and telecommunications have made it unnecessary for Muslims to worry about the then weather and communication problem connected with sighting the crescent Moon and disseminating information about it.

It is narrated by Abu Huraira: The Prophet or Abu-l-Qasim said, ”Start fasting on seeing the crescent (of Ramadan), and giving up fasting on seeing the crescent (of Shawwal), and if the sky is overcast (and you cannot see it), complete thirty days of Sha’ban.”

I believe we can now look to a Central Religious Authority for guidance on commencement and completion of the Ramadan Fast because the then weather and communication barriers have been broken by the new sciences.

May Allah make it easy for us.
