TRIBAL MARKS IN ISLAM

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 28th day of Muharram 1447AH, Wednesday, 23rd July 2025.

*_TRIBAL MARKS IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 


Tribalism and Nationalism is forbidden in Islam says the Prophet sallalLaahu  Alaihi Wasallam so to mark your face to describe your tribe is an insult to what the prophet warned about as it creates division and we are witnessing it today where one tribe will not even offer or accept their daughter or son to marry another tribe AstaghfirulLah. 


Tribalism is a concept alien to Islam because tribalism calls for unity based on family, whereas Islam binds people together on the `Aqeedah, that is belief in ALLAH (swt) and HIS Messenger (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Islam calls for the ideological bond. Grouping the Muslims on tribalistic lines is clearly forbidden.


It is narrated by Imam Abu Da'wud that the Messenger of ALLAH (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "He is not one of us who calls for `Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyyah or who dies for `Asabiyyah." And in another Hadith, the Messenger of ALLAH referring to tribalism, nationalism, racism, and patriotism said:"Leave it, it is rotten." [Muslim and Bukhari].


All people are the children of Aadam, and Aadam was created out of dust." "O you who believe! Fear ALLAH as HE should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam with complete submission to ALLAH. And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of ALLAH (i.e. Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude ALLAH'S favors on you; for you were enemies and HE joined your hearts in love, so that by HIS Grace you became brothers; and you were on the brink of the pit of fire, and HE saved you from it. Thus ALLAH make HIS signs clear to you that you may be guided." [Surah Al'Imran (3); ayah 102-103].


All Muslims, whether they are of Hausa, Dagomba, Kotokoli, white, Arab  Whatever, are one Ummah and they cannot be separated from each other. No tribalistic ties should ever break their unity. Furthermore, ALLAH (swt), says, "The Faithful are but brothers..." [Surah Al-Hujurat (49): ayah 10]. We must marry each other base on religious affiliation not tribal as many parents do today. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep protecting us from any satanic influences and unite us together as Muslims_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
