The people of Ilorin 🫣. Just imagine how these people are playing Baba Mudeer. They have already formed a clique without them knowing that Baba Egun would behave childishly during that program. The newly turbaned Imam of Ilorin confirmed that Baba Mudeer had already......
@Chevchenko78 Whatever you like you do or say , Islam is here to stay and nothing anyone father can do to stop it, you have problem with Ilorin? Come chase us away, bunch of lunatics
Among the evil innovations people have introduced and then ascribed to Islam is the claim that merely placing the Qur’ān beside a newborn or on the child’s bed will protect the child. This is fallacious and has no basis in Islam.
The Qur’ān is blessed. Its recitation is a means of guidance, mercy, healing and protection by the permission of Allāh. But the physical muṣḥaf does not independently possess the power to benefit anyone or repel harm. Likewise, the Kaʿbah is sacred and blessed, but it cannot independently grant prayers, fulfil wishes or prevent harm. It is Allāh, the Lord of the Qur’ān, the Kaʿbah and everything that exists, Who alone ultimately grants benefit and repels harm.
Similarly, claims that a child was born physically holding a copy of the Qur’ān are lies. Such fabricated stories should not be dressed in religious language, celebrated as miracles or circulated as evidence of anyone’s supposed spiritual status. Islam does not need falsehood to establish its truth.
Even more dangerous is the exaggeration concerning some Shaykhs until they are treated almost like gods. Claims that a Shaykh mysteriously appears on walls or objects, possesses independent supernatural powers, answers calls from afar, or controls benefit and harm are not signs of deeper spirituality. Such beliefs can lead dangerously towards Shirk.
Respect the Qur’ān. Honour the Kaʿbah. Love and respect righteous scholars. But never give anything created what belongs exclusively to the Creator.
Tawḥīd must remain Tawḥīd. Do not waste your life defending ignorance in the name of Islam.
يَا حَيُّ مَنْ لَا يَمُوتُ
يَا حَيُّ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ
“O Ever-Living One who never dies.
O Ever-Living One who gives life to the dead.
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of all.
By Your mercy, I seek help.”
*_Friday talks with Sambo Fatiu: Catch them Young_*
The Islamic perspective of "catching them young" centers on Tarbiyah (spiritual and moral nurturing), which dictates that instilling Islamic values, habits, and love for Allah from early childhood shapes a lifelong, righteous character. The youthful age is a critical stage characterized by abundant energy, and it plays a pivotal role in societal change. The future of a society largely depends on its youth, who can either lead it towards prosperity or decline.
At times, parents program their children with very nice strategies that if life tarries; that the least must have a degree at 21, masters at 24 and PhD before 30. It is a very nice program and I have nothing against it. But you can hardly see parents that will join their hearts together and conclude that they must train their children in the fear and admonition of Allah where the child memorize the Qur’an before 12, Kutb Sitta before 20 (Sahib Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah, An-nasa’i, Abi Da’ud and Tirmidhi). It is very hard to see something like that. Most parents are willing to spend millions for their children to obtain western education with little or no focus on the knowledge of the deen.
There is no doubt that our children are an amanah from Allah, our creator. The best gift we can give to our little ones is a childhood led by the knowledge of the Qur’an. Islam teaches that every child is born in a state of pure Fitrah (innocence and natural inclination toward truth), and parents play the primary role in guiding or diverting this nature.
The Prophet Muhammad advised introducing prayer (Salah) at age seven and gently enforcing it by age ten, providing a structured framework for building habits before legal religious maturity (Bulugh). Start teaching them early with focus on basic manners (Adab), knowledge of the Qur'an, learning Wudu (ablution) and Tahara (purification) and integrating remembrance of Allah into daily routines.
Yesterday, I delivered a lecture at the Qur’an camp hosted by Abu Anas Institute for Qur’an memorization. One of the students asked if fasting really brings a servant closer to Allah. I asked if he was fasting and he said Yes. I see….
I reassured him that fasting indeed brings us close to our creator and there is a particular entrance in Jannah dedicated to those who fast called Bab Ar-rayyan. May Allah bless this boy and his parents abundantly. This is a reminder for you and us yo strive and try our possible best to raise pious offsprings by catching them young. May Allah make it easy. Aamin

Repeat the Shahādah always. It angers Shaytan and disperses his army.
I testify that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad ﷺ is His final messenger.
