It is permitted to take the Janābah bath with soap (and sponge). This can be done through either of the following two ways:
* The bathwater can be mixed with soap (liquid or powdered) and then used to take the Janābah bath. (This is debatable. The majority of the scholars
oppose its use while Abū Hanīfah, Ahmad in one of his two views & which is the stand of Ibn Taimiyah permit it.). The view of permissibility is stronger in proof but the view of impermissibility is safer. (وقول الجمهور أحوط، وإن كان القول بجواز التطهر به أقوى في الدليل
* The sexually defiled person can rub soap on his body and then take the Janābah bath while washing the soap off his body. (This is permitted by all).
On the other hand, one may choose to take the Janābah bath first before resorting to using soap to take his usual bath,
or take his bath first with soap, then take the Janābah after. (This is the closest view to avoiding the controversies).
Allāhu A'lam.

Summary of Professor Akanji's lecture on dietary habits: 1. You only have control over what is between your mouth and throat. Between the throat and the anus, you have absolutely no control over it. That is, once food has passed your throat, it's out of your hands;
2. After a meal, it takes 5 to 7 hours for the digestive system to complete its work. Assuming you eat @ 7am, your next meal should be @ 12pm or 2pm;
3. Eating in-between meals disrupts digestion and puts pressure on the system. It's like putting pepper in a grinder and before
4. it completes its task, you add corn or cassava to it;
5. It's healthier to eat just once in a day and take plenty of water and fruits;
6. It's dangerous to sneak into the kitchen at night to chop meat or snacks after taking dinner. Drink water instead.
Recently, a famous social media couple announced divorce days after their second child was born. What is most shocking is that this couple lived their entire matrimonial life on instagram, portraying themselves as a perfect match, living the best marital life anyone can wish for.
Many of their followers might have felt so miserable with their own lives, hoping and praying they can be as happy as the now estranged couple. In fact, some may have thought that they were in the wrong marriage, torturing themselves emotionally and mentally.
Lessons: 1. There's no perfect human being on earth. Such characters only exist in Zee World;
2. Thus, there cannot be a perfect marriage. Every marriage has its problems and challenges, even when couples wear cosmetic and forced happiness to disguise their emotional struggles;
1/Many who are otherwise spectators on either side of the aisle on this matter are unfortunately oblivious of the historical as well as empirical facts therein. Understandably, though inexcusably, many amongst them are irked by positions & counter-positions
2/This sentiment-based bitterness is further fueled, by a mischievous few, who know the truth, but would rather capitalize on the ignorance of many, to heat up the polity. It is, therefore, a fact that this situation, if allowed to linger for much longer will only lead to anarchy
3/Fundamentally, there are two court judgements that conclusively address the ongoing brouhaha.
The first unambiguously ruled that the government owns these schools, while the second unequivocally ruled that it remains a fundamental human right for the girl child to choose to
The Sincerity of the Sahābah: Jarīr bn Abdil-A'lāh Al-Bajalī رضي الله عنه in Focus
It is narrated that Jarīr bn Abdil-A'lāh Al-Bajalī رضي الله عنه once sent his servant to purchase a horse and he got one at about 200 Dirhams. When he saw the horse, he asked his servant:
He: How much did you buy it?
Servant: 200 Dirhams
He: Indeed, you have underpriced this horse. Do you recognize the seller?
Servant: Yes, I do
He: Take me to him immediately.
On getting to the owner, Jarīr رضي الله عنه said to him, "You have sold this animal for a lesser
value than its actual worth. I'm going to pay you more for it. So he continued to add more and more money to it until the final payment came at 800 Dirhams from 200."
Shocked by this rare kindness, the seller asked him, "why did you pay me this much for the horse?"
1. Today, in our explanation of the Hadīth لا يقبل الله صلاة أحدكم إذا أحدث حتى يتوضأ “Allāh will not accept the prayer of any one of you if he breaks wind, until he does wudū”, we examined the juristic polemics on the application of the word قَبول ‘acceptance’.
2. The reason for the differences in its application can be traced to the differences in its connotations. Basically, jusrists have defined this word in two ways:
a. ترتب الثواب على العبادة qualification of an act of worship for reward. The major point here is الثواب (reward).
3. If this definition is taken, it would simply imply that an acceptable act is one that qualifies for reward (having satisfied all required conditions), likewise an unacceptable act is one that is not rewarded (even if it satisfies all the required conditions).
