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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
