IFTAR SNACK IDEA - MASA/ WAINA

Good old masa. There is hardly anyone I have met, who has tasted this snack and doesn't crave it. It can be consumed with the traditional vegetable soup or with ground kulikuli or with any condiment of choice. It's most popular in the north. There are certain days that you just desire to eat this breakfast/ dinner snack, but in the event that it is unavailable to purchase, I have endeavored to ask an expert friend of mine for the procedure of making this. What's more? You can make your mixture yourself and cook, ensuring good hygiene and portion control. Ain't you excited. Click on read more to see the recipe.

READER'S CONTRIBUTION: LOVE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH BY OLAGUNJU SHERRIFDEEN

Asalaam aleykum all. Read, share and enjoy this exceptionally enlightening piece from one of our dear readers. Olagunju Sherrifdeen is a graduate of engineering from the University of Osun. May Allah increase his knowledge. Ameen.

Abû Hurayrah relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will ask on the Day of Judgment: ‘Where are those who loved each other for the sake of My glory? Today, - on a day when there is no shade but mine – I shall shade them with My shade.” [Sahîh Muslim (2566)]

Love is among the most exalted of human feelings. When this love is focused on Allah and forms the basis for our interpersonal relationships, many problems are transcended, and great fruits are harvested for society as a whole. The Qur’ân and Sunnah often speak about the noble status of those whom Allah graces to possess such love.

THE REFUTATION OF ATHEISM

Asalaam aleykum. This is yet another lovely piece sent to me from Islam info by Abu Habeebah. JazakAllah. Please read, drop your comments and share!

Refutation of Atheism

"....The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way (by coincidence) is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein....."

Millions of plant and animal types present in the world stand out as evidence that prove the existence and might of our Creator. All of these living beings, a limited number of which will be described as examples here, deserve to be examined individually. They all have different body systems, diverse defence tactics, unique ways of feeding, and interesting reproduction methods. Unfortunately, it is not possible to describe all living beings with all their features in a single book. Encyclopaedias of many volumes would not be enough for this task. However, even the few examples we will discuss here will be sufficient to prove that life on earth can in no way be explained by coincidences or accidental happenings.

HEALTH ISSUES IN RAMADAN

As we gradually take each day of Ramadan as it comes, there is bound to be some strain on the body, especially to the body that didn't practice fasting prior to Ramadan. This post seeks to identify some of these urgent health concerns and also first aid solutions to them in sha Allah. 

FOOD, NUTRITION IN RAMADAN

Apart from ensuring optimum spiritual activity, the holy month of Ramadan also enables us detoxify and essentially give our bodies the rest it needs. Remember that we spend 11 months eating and drinking 2/4/7 and anytime we desire, in effect, our livers, guts etc are always performing one activity or the other. So this month is such a blessing to us in several different ways Masha Allah. Alhamdulilah.

Though our sense of nutrition has been blurred by the numerous culinary options available, researchers have continually found immense benefits in the food items recommended to us over 1400 years ago. I'll proceed now to highlight some of these foods and I hope we choose to incorporate them into our daily meals, because there is nothing that has been recommended to us but that it has immense benefits. In sha Allah.

VEIL: VIEW FROM THE INSIDE

Asalaam aleykum, you all need to read this piece my brother, Abu Habeebah sent to me. Read it and tell your friends too. All the better to be inspired. Masha Allah. Meanwhile, I hope the Ramadan is going on well, I do apologize for paucity in posting, this month leaves no room for most extra activity, please be patient with me, because despite this, my daily page views keep rising. May Allah answer all our prayers.. Ameen.

Veil: the View From the Inside

By Nakata Khaula
Do Muslim Women Have Rights?
Anyone whose sole source of knowledge about Islam has been the Western media, "knows" that Islam "oppresses" women. The hijab or veil, is the symbol of such "oppression." To "liberate" Muslim women from such "oppression" has been the cherished goal of media pundits, Western "experts" on Islam, and the feminists.

HADITH OF THE MOMENT

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) said: Allah who is great and glorious has said :

“Those of My servants who are quickest in breaking their fast are dearest to Me”  Sunan Al Tirmidhi

VERSE OF THE MOMENT

" O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done. [Surah Hujurat V6].
