  HALAL WAYS OF INVESTING Riba  (interest) is a popular method of making money from investment however, Islamic rules prohibit Muslims from collecting  Riba . This has been established in many Quranic verses, one of which    is Surah Al-Baqara which states: Those who eat Riba (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein  (Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 275). O you who believe! Eat not Riba (usury) doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful  (Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 13). As o...

The Battle of Badr (624 CE) Is a major victory battle in Islamic history led by the Prophet (SAW). It marked a turning point for the early Muslim community (ummah) as the battle damaged Meccan trade and boosted the morale of the ummah as a viable force in the pursuit of the control of Mecca. It is the only battle mentioned by name in the Qurʾān.   The Muslim army had only 319 men many of whom had endured thirteen long years of persecution before migrating to Medina as against the 1,000 men of the Quraysh army attired in the best armour, riding on superior camels and horses, and armed with a vast array of spears, swords, bows, and arrows. Before the battle commenced, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gathered the Sahaba (his companions) and sought their counsel as to what should be done. The companions stood up, one by one, offering their passionate allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Among them, a companion, Hazrat Miqdad bin Aswad (R.A) got up and made a passionate decla...

  Have you heard the proverb ‘seven dates a day, keeps the doctor away’? This is not just a proverb or cliché but supported by a hadith of the noble prophet (SAW). The Prophet ( ﷺ ) said, “If somebody takes some `Ajwa dates every morning, he will not be affected by poison or magic on that day till night.” (Another narrator said seven dates). (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Medicine, Book 76, Hadith 82 ) Narrated Saud (R.A) According to the hadith, dates do not only keep one from medical problems but also spiritual ones.   The date is a stone fruit (that is, it has a single hard seed surrounded by outer fleshly fruit like mango) popularly referred to by Hausa and most Nigerians as Dabino . It is a fruit from the date palm tree ( Phoenix dactylifera) and is grown mainly in tropical regions. The name Dates originated from the Greek word daktulos , which means fingers due to how they grow as small clusters on the date palm tree. Dates are eaten in either dried or soft forms...

  LECTURER: SHAYKH QAMARUDEEN YUNUS AKOREDE TRANSLATED AND TRANSCRIBED BY ABU FAWZAAN ABDULBARR IBN ISMAIL ADEDOKUN. “Your first supplication when you rise in the deep of the night should be “O Allah grant me paradise and protect me from a prior admittance into hell”. Thereafter you supplicate for longevity for you will eventually die, then health and so forth because it’s the ending that’s most important. Allah says, ‘…So he who is drawn away from the fire and admitted to paradise had attained’ (Qur’an 2:185). There’s no attainment for anyone in this world who eventually enters hell in the hereafter.” SHAYKH QAMARUDEEN YUNUS AKOREDE INTRODUCTION All praise belongs to Allah, the Forgiver of sins, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment. May commendations and protection be upon our prophet Muhammad and upon his household and his companions and those who follow him with righteousness until the day of recompense. Indeed, the best speech is the book of Allah and the best guidance...
