As a Muslim, one of the basic things you should know is that astrology, horoscopes, superstition and fortune-telling are all actions of jaahiliyyah (ignorance). Why? Because you tend to believe in something else other than Allah. It brings you to believe that benefits & harms get
to you because you're a Virgo, a Sagittarius, a Leo and what have you. The same thing goes for fortune-telling, you tend to believe that someone somewhere posses the knowledge of the unseen. But the truth is, they are all lies 😑
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology, learns a branch of magic (of which he acquires more as long as) he continues to do so."

[Abu Dawud]
Also, Abu Hurairah narrated:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman, or with a woman in her rear, or who goes to a FORTUNETELLER and believes what he says, he has DISBELIEVED in that which was revealed to Muhammad.'' (Ibn Majah)
How does it even seem sensible that you think because you belong to one horoscope sign, there's a deadly month in which you cannot travel 😂 Let's assume you happen to get a scholarship & your travel arrangements has been fixed for that month, won't you give your horoscope sign
the middle finger? This same horoscopic stuffs you check online is what your fortunetellers check for you to dupe you in return. Embrace the Islam completely without attachments keeping in mind the words of the one who created you & I:
Say, "Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allah let the believers rely.-Sura At-Tawbah, Ayah 51

No one knows the knowledge of the unseen. Do not visit a fortuneteller in a bid to know what the future holds, look at this
"Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." -Sura Luqman, Ayah 34

Who is a virgin?

Shaykh Abdullahi Isezuo Sanni posted:

We were studying the Book of Nikah from Mishkat Al-Masabih with our Shaykh Muhammad Ramzan Athari حفظه الله, and I asked him about the Islamic definition of a woman being a virgin, since the Shaykh said that stipulating
the condition of a wife being a virgin is haram due to the insinuation of the woman being unchaste, and this will end in three possibilities:

1. You have no proof that the potential is not a virgin. In this case, you have slandered her and cast aspersions on her honor,
irrespective of whether she admits it or not. You are to be flogged Islamically.

2. She admits that she isn't a virgin. In this case, you have compelled her to expose a sin that Allah concealed, and this is a major sin.

3. You believe her testimony of not being a virgin

Can we talk about this "Virtual Laylatul Qadr" of a thing? As a Muslim, as an elite, as an intellectual that you claim to be, don't you think it's a big shame on you if you participate in such? Laylatul Qadr on whatsApp/Instagram/zoom? Commonsense is not common.
We all know that Islam is a religion of sincerity. We probably know that our allegiance is to Allah and His prophet (peace be upon him), not to an Alfa, not to a shaykh, not to a country, not to a place, just to Allah & His prophet.

Do you then think it's okay to breach our
oath of allegiance? Do you think it is fine to go back on our testification that we bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His messenger? If your answer is "No", why then do we find it hard to swallow when

Getting to marry a virgin is seen as Sunnah, even though it is not a prerequisite to a happy and everlasting Nikāh. The Prophet encouraged Jabir to marry a virgin at first, until he gave his reasons for settling for a previously married woman:

It was narrated that Jaabir ibn
‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked me, ‘Have you got married?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘A virgin or a previously-married woman?’ I said, ‘A previously-married woman.’ He said, ‘Why not a young
girl, whom you could play with and she could play with you?’ I said, ‘I have sisters and I wanted to marry a woman who could gather them together and comb their hair and take care of them.’ He said: ‘You will reach, so when you have arrived (at home), I advise you to associate

PROJECTING THE ISLAMIC NARRATIVES.

Unarguably, Islam is one of the fastest growing religions of the world, with over 1.8 billion adherents, according to Wikipedia statistics. It is a religion which preaches peace, sanity, humanness and goodness to all, no matter the differences.
This religion, notwithstanding its genuine nature and its message of peace, is seen as a threat. Since ages, the undiluted truth that Islam carries has always been a torn pricking the preachers of falsehood and taunting them each time they see an element of Islam in anyone or
anything. This brought about the enemies of Islam dragging Islam into the middle of controversies, but their plots has never for once prevailed, because Islam is not a controversial religion. The light of Islam can never be extinguished.

In seeing to the prevalence of Islam over
