It's another Ramadan. On your mark...

Ramadan, also popularly spelt as ROMODON (the O’s pronounced as ‘or’) - is the 9th month of the Hijrah Calendar. It’s considered a very special month in the Islamic calendar. This month is specially observed by Muslims all over the world by refraining from eating and drinking, having sexual relationship with their spouses, engaging in vain talks all through the DAYS of this month starting from dawn to sunset.  

It begins, like all other months of the Islamic calendar, with the sighting of the new crescent and ends when the same tiny crescent appears again to signify the arrival of the month that follows. Unlike the Gregorian calendar where months are either 29, 30, or 31 days, the Islamic calendar has all its months to be either 29 or 30 days. 

ON YOUR MARK! 

Muslims believe that in the month of Romodon, the doors of the heavens and mercies are open widely for good doers, the gates of hells are closed, the devils are chained at this time, destinies are changed as Allah wills, and that the Quran itself was revealed. In this month, the worship made in a particular night is equivalent to good deeds of 1000 months. In this night, the angels descend one after the other including the angel called Jubril. This night is known as the Night of Majesty (Laylatul Qadr). 

Are you ready to benefit from all of these? Then, on your mark. 

GET SET!!

Yes, get set. From the ongoing counting from the Sultanate, today’s date is 28th of Sha’ban (Saturday, May 4, 2019). That means by Sunday, we’ll be the 29th, Hence, the month of Ramadan is expected to start either on Monday, May 6, 2019 or Tuesday, May 7, 2019. 

Muslims are encouraged to get set with all the necessary things needed to make the fasting easy for them. These include good foods, beverages, fruits, good health and pious mindsets . 

GO!! 

During the month of Romodon, Muslims are encouraged to engage in as many as possible acts of worships. Lots of charity is expected from all party to the poor and needy.  The Quran should be read from the beginning to the end as many times as possible within the month. Lots of glorification and forgiveness should be sought.
The nights should be used for extensive worships and sleeping should be reduced. Places of knowledge should be filled with Muslims to learn more about the religion and move grow closer to God. Love should be shared in the family and neighborhood and finally,  by the end of Ramadan,  there should be increase faith in God and better understanding of the religion of Islam.

Here's a short list of my plan in this Ramadan. Feel free to write yours in the comment box below.

I plan to

• Ensure all the five daily prayers are prayed in congregation and on time
• Increase the number of Surahs I have memorized by 1 juz and revise the ones I already memorized. 
• Pray all the taraaweeh in the month without skipping 1 nor leaving out any rakah,  including the witr
• Ensure I finish the book "sharhu riyaadu saaliheen " volume one before the end of Ramadan. 
• Ensure I attend at least 2 sittings of knowledge every week of the month 
• Ensure I give sadaqah everyday. 

May God help me and you.

THE EMERGENCE OF BROTHERHOOD IN ISLAM

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, The Merciful. May His peace and blessings be upon the Noble prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, his household, companions and those who believe in him till the day of Resurrection.

Lecture delivered to a group of Muslim brothers on the completion of their dawah week by Adigun Sherif on Saturday May 31,2014 at Ikotun.  

A PRETENDING BASTARD!

Like Abu Jahl, his friend Waleed was conscious of the truth, preached by Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) but also like him, he was fond of ridiculing the divine message. It was even said that he had earlier considered accepting Islam after listening to the holy prophet recite a certain Qur’anic verse and he had commented thus:

It is certainly full of ecstasy; sweet to the hearing; its background is cool and fruitful.

A PRETENDING BASTARD II

WAS Waleed truly a bastard? Was he truly an illegitimate child (as read in the previous post)?

No one in the whole of Mecca, could tell, but his mother. He therefore approached her, asking “the lord of Muhammad has identified me with seven different names: and to all of them I agree as being part of me, but one. He called me an illegitimate child, unless you tell me the circumstance behind my birth, I shall put you to death”.

doctors-approved reasons to let your beard grow

Is is highly amazing to read from fox website- a website which is not on religion- that it is good to let your beard grow! if christians could dig out benefits in letting your beard grow, then if you re a Muslim who doesn't grow his beard, then, something is wrong somewhere. Here is what they wrote:

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE SICK MUSLIM SOCIETY (PART 2)

THE CONTINUATION OF PART 1

For instance, many Muslim today do not know that it is haram to consult a mallam to investigate the cause of their problems and find out solution (by the use of sand, tesbih, Quran or any other thing). Even some of the fake missioners in the Assalatu groups are their consultants as far as this kufr act is concerned. They do not

teach our women to believe that it is wrong to use fettish objects, wear hamulets or hang fettish objects in the rooms. The Prophet, sollaLohu alaihi wasallam was reported to have said anyone who visit fortune-tellers and believes in what he says, his or her prayers would not be accepted for 40 days.

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE SICK MUSLIM SOCIETY

TURN ALL ASSALATU GROUPS TO HALQOOT (GATHERINGS OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE DEEN) FOR A BETTER SOCIETY 

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except Him. I testify that Muhammad, sollaLohu alaihi wasallam is His

Messenger and Apostle. May Allah shower his blessings upon him, his household, the Companions and the Taabi'een. Indeed, the best of speeches is that of Allah.

IT IS WRONG TO GREET ONE ANOTHER THIS WAY

In the world of facebook, twitter, 2go,bbm etc, people find it difficult to greet one another in the usual way Islam teaches. take a brief look at HOW THE SO CALLED MUSLIMS OF TODAY EXCHANGE GREETINGS WHEN SENDING MESSAGES/CHATING:

They think God is so deaf that they need to shout into his hears (if he has any)

It has been a manageable occurence for the past few months.

They won't sleep. They sing,sing and sing, all dancing to the parrot

drums. And at the middle of it, around 2:30 am, you feel relieved from

the 'noise'. Mind you, it is a 10 minute 'siesta'. Another 1 hour

semester of disturbance begins afterwards.

HOW CAN beauty pageant be exclusively for Muslims? IT'S A SHAME

A 21-year-old Nigerian woman, Aisha Ajibola, emerged the winner of a beauty pageant that is exclusively for Muslims in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, on Wednesday.

 

She was chosen among 20 contestants from six countries to wear the crown in the 2013 Muslimah World beauty pageant, ahead of the controversial Miss World event scheduled to take place in the same country in a few weeks from now.

Who is really the Christ follower on how to worship God?

Who is praying according to the bible, among the Christians and Muslims? Who is really the Christ follower on how to worship God?

Firstly, Allah is always glorified by the Muslims with raising of hand while praying, with the saying of ‘’ALLAHU AKBAR’’ but same thing was done in the bible. 

Pastor Terry Jones plans to burn 2998 copies of the Holy Quran

I just don't know why people these days -especially the pastors- are highly showing their hatred publicly about ISLAM. but upon all, this ISLAM continues to grow immensely: Is this not enough to tell them that ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF GOD??

AN ADVICE FOR STELLA DAMASUS

Let me begin by saying the “child” marriage debate can only make people famous, it can only be used to stay famous, it can only revive careers of actresses who are smart enough to hurriedly make a youtube video when the heat is on, but it will continue to happen and not even the removal of the controversial supportive clauses or the inclusion of a new prohibiting one will stop it. This is the fact; plain simple, in one paragraph.

The Royal Priest in the order of Melchizedek

the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse II.

The VALIANT monarch in the picture above just banned traditional religion and he's planning Christianisation of the Warri Kingdom

The monarch has banned the worship of deities, changed the traditional title of Ogiame, pouring of libation and other traditional practices he considers to be fetish.

The fooled/Decieved Spectators

Hundreds of people trooped out to watch ‘Sango’ who displayed his magical feats in the presence of many that came to watch in Koso Community in Oyo town

He brought out a new sharpened knife and cut his own eyes, while blood was dripping out, it was shown to all spectators but later nothing showed that he had a cut.

Ascribing divinity to Idols,the Sun or Moon,water or thunder or even Man is absolute Shirk

Another amazing event occurred at Owode Onirin, Ikorodu, Lagos; as images of some clerics who died decades ago were believed to have made sudden appearances on the walls of Dawiz Central Mosque in the area.

His eyes become blurry and he was shaking with sweat...

There was only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha. He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib. While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed. His grandmother prayed with such tranquility and peace. He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for awhile. He had been at work all day and was tired, so tired.

ISLAM DOES NOT RESTRICT MARRIAGE TO AGE.

I don't understand why some ignorant people talk as if they know Islam more than Muslims. While running his mouth Pastor Johnson Sulaiman said: "Islam says when you marry a girl under 18 years, you do not touch her until she is 18 years."
The more we try to explain to these morally bankrupt individuals with titles like "pastor", "nollywood star" or even the  crazy ex-minister Fani-Kayode the more confused they become.
