Pilgrimage

Asalam Alaykum, today I will be telling about taking a pilgrimage to Mecca. It is the 5th pillar of Islam. The pilgrimage is a once in a lifetime obligation if you have the physical and financial capability to carry it out. However, you can perform the pilgrimage more than once " There are clear signs in it, it is the place where Abraham stood. Anyone who enters it will be secure. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for anyone who is able to undertake it. Anyone who disbelieves should remember that God is independent of all creatures."Quran, Chapter 3:97

The pilgrimage also known as hajj (which means intend to journey) brings you closer to God, it also helps you clear your sins. It is largest annual gathering of people in the world. It occurs between the 8th and the 12th (sometimes 13th) of the last month of the Islamic calendar. The date changes with the Gregorian calendar, this is because the Islamic calendar is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. 

In performing the rites of hajj, the actions of Prophet Muhammed (peace be unto him) should be followed. The hajj is also associated with Prophet Ibrahim (peace be unto him).The rites of the hajj include ihram, tawwaf and sa'ay, the first day of Hajj, the second day of hajj, the third day of hajj, the fourth day of Hajj, the fifth day of hajj and the last day at Mina. Different actions will be carried out for each of these rites.

 You should go for pilgrimage if you are physically fit for it and are able to afford it, as it is obligatory for you. That is all for today, thank you for reading this article. Keep checking out my blog regularly. Cheers!

Evil: Lekki Central Mosque

Asalam alaykum There are mosques and there are evil places that call themselves mosques, Lekki central mosque is one of those places such an evil place. The so called chief imam Ridwan Jamiu is also fake. A mosque, they have two floors. I  thought women where suppose to be upstairs and men downstairs. Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

Quran 3:56-59

Asalam alaykum "As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.   And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”  This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was." Quran 3:56-59 Ma salam.
