Dpath To Jannah

A SPARK OF MERCY MAY LIGHT THE WAY Just a round and zip up Just a sip and round up All sinning, repent and live on All in a moment will be gone Where then will all these sins go? Will Allah just let go deeds of ego? Do you then retain your space in Jannah? As surely sins have no space in Jannah! Everyday Allah proves to us most beneficent A day would ascertain him most merciful one But not to all creatures that would be present As all would seek it but few would be chosen Maybe we seek mercy by backing off sinning What is as softening as sincere repentance? What is as fulfilling as forever sin abstinence? What are best as our faces in Jannah smiling? JÛST…   Abdmateen Oluyedun is a student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) studying pharmacy

Has there been any instance you feel like to quit the position of the Ameerah? Well... I never thought of that because I believed strongly Allah appointed me and knowing so...

For me,if people ask; who am I? I am a believer, and forever I shall be. Let the way ward know this is my stand; I shall never bend, not surrender I am Muslim, do you know Muslim? I am the light of this universe if it is wallowing in darkness. In the creation, I am the thirst quencher for one crying of thirst, And when a caller calls, I am the protector and rescuer:  I am the Qur'ān walking and Islam to manifest. I am the great gift on earth. The universe is for me and my servitude is already bargained. To whom do I belong? I am for the one who created man. I am of soldiers of Allah, the party of Muhammad And none beside the guidance of Muhammad, I will ever follow. Never will I listen to the call of the disbeliever, I am a youth of the Qurān and the son of mosque.

My heart always bleeds whenever i think of the acts of negligence on the part of our Muslim brothers and sisters in Islam towards learning and acquiring knowledge when Allah (SWT) has dutifully charged every Muslim and Muslimat to be seeking knowledge.  It is of no reasonable doubt that the claim that knowledge is a compulsion on us is firmly supported and rooted in some verses of the Quran as well as Hadiths of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) where the importance of knowledge, how knowledge should be used and the rewards for those who seek knowledge are widely examined and expatiated; - "seeking knowledge is compulsory on every Muslim and Muslimot". "knowledge is the apex". " Seek knowledge from craddle to the grave". "Seek knowledge about your Lord before you worship Him." Of all the branches of knowledge in life, the apex is the knowledge of Islam as well as its several branches because it is the only way through which o...

If you are good at writing, use writing to preach Da'wah, If you're g...

Oh Garment Lady Oh garment lady Must you cover yourself From head to toe Even when the weather is foe? O yes, my Slay Queen Why must I walk naked When Allah had me clothed? Why should I prefer a fleeting weather To an eternal hot weather which He had Me protected already For indeed, the fire in hell is more intensive in heat. Oh garment lady! Your face is bare Without any makeup Why not add some To bring out your beauty. My dear Slay Queen, Impeccable is Allah who created me Flawless is my creation Nothing is left for me to make over In my speech, lies my beauty And in my heart, lies my beauty Move more closer to me and you Shall perceive the fragrance of my beauty. For indeed, fleeting is the facial beauty. Oh garment lady! You wear an enticing smile Here and there in all miles Is that also a worship smile? O yes, my Slay Queen My smile is indeed a charity That  that cost me no cent And among all the best That I can afford to give daily to melt The heart of my people.   ...

In Islam, ‘Ibaadah means an act of worship. The acceptance of one’s act of worship depends on intention; a proper understanding of the Qur’an and Sunnah aids the Muslims in proper practice of ‘Ibaadat and directing his acts of worship to Allah alone. HOW TO DIRECT SOME ASPECTS OF IBADAH TO ALLAH ALONE

By Abdulgiyath Salman He is a very young man, very-very intelligent, loaded with innate ability to score very high marks in whatever he ventures into. I remember many things that he did excellently well in those good old days. When he was in love with music, he was excellent with the mimicking of many foreign songs. When he went into graphic design to make ends meet, he was superb. I remember how he taught me some skillful ways of beautifying cardboards meant for the production of greeting cards. His exploit in GNLD, a networking business further confirms that he is always the best in whatever he ventures into. With the GNLD business, he was on top of the world at a very tender age. No doubt, his success story today in the  Academy of Islamic propagation, ACADIP   speaks volume about him being a special creation, destined to rule the world and be the very best at whatever he is doing. Yusuf Olatunde Oladimeji Adepoju  was born on the 10th of February, 1975 to the...
