HADITH OF THE WEEK

Sahih Muslim Vol 1 - Bk. 6: Fasting (Kitab Al-Sawm)

6:2361: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When there comes the month of Ramadan, the gates of mercy are opened, and the gates of Hell are locked and the devils are chained,

P U R I F I C AT I O N O F M I N D I S G O O D B E F O R E E N T E R I N G R A M A DA N – D R . A L I

Dr. Kamaldeen Almubarak Ali, the Chief Imam of Al-Hikmah University, has

advised all Muslims to purify their minds and heart from any bad deed and settle any grudge among their fellow human beings before Ramadan.

The Chief Imam made this admonition in an interview with the information crew on the topic titled “Preparation for Ramadan” in his office on Monday, 29th April, 2019.

He added that Ramadan is a spiritually-inclined month for worship, alms giving, prayer and

Muslims need to prepare adequately for such actions.

Dr. Ali reiterated that Muslims should prepare for Ramadan in advance. According to him, “some of the preparations include, repay the fast missed in the previous Ramadan; put in place foods and drinks that are halal; minimise ones diet before Ramadan in order for the system to get used to it before Ramadan; to have good i n t e n t i o n s b e c a u s e p r o p h e t Mohammed (SAW) pointed out that anything Muslims do would be rewarded based on their intentions; the person to prepare meals for the males should not be haram and a male that is yet to marry can pay a food seller for the duration of 30 days of Ramadan.

Dr. Ali added, “when fasting commences, one should give alms to the less privileged, does more nawafil, buys fruits or cooks food for Muslims to help them break their fast. Apart from not drinking and eating, Muslims

should stay away from looking, listening, saying or touching anything that is haram during fasting because fasting should be done with all part of our body including mouths. Also, Muslims should stay away from anything sugary, spoilt food, too much red meat and over eating during sahoor or iftaar”.

Dr. Ali, therefore, advised Muslims that their good deeds should not be limited to the month of Ramadan alone, it should be a continuous thing because prophet Mohammed (SAW) said the best of ibadah for Muslims is what is continuous.

relevance of Shari᾿ah to the modern

world, to strengthen the intellectual

capacity of the learned participants in

defending Islam; and to educate the

participants on how to refute the

misconceptions surrounding the

teachings of Islam.

Prof. Ibrahim, therefore, urged

the representatives from Ummul Qura

University to take this collaboration as

a starting point for more noble co-

o p e r a t i o n s w i t h A l - H i k m a h

University.

The leader of the delegation,

who is also one of the Imams of the

holy mosque in Makkah, Dr. Abdullahi

Bukhari thanked all the participants for

displaying discipline and maturity

during the course of the workshop.

Dr. Bukhari in his words said

“the Saudis are ready to collaborate

with Al-Hikmah University in terms of

academic, financial and philanthropic

aspect”. He, emphasised that any

communication to that effect should be

channeled through the Saudi Embassy

in Abuja for effective and immediate

response.

Bar r. . Onikos i Ahmeed

Adedeji, one of the participants in an

in t e r ac t ive s e s s ion wi th t he

information crew stated that the

workshop experience was worthwhile.

According to Barr. Onikosi

“the workshop is dynamic, it exposed

the participants to modern trends in

teaching and learning Islamic law. The

importance of Arabic to Islamic law

was also reemphasised with lots of job

opportunities in the sharia. It also

in t roduced the con temporary

technological issues around the globe

and how it can be handled”.
