@oyb,

How was I pretending to be "new" here? I think this silly under-the-bridge exculpations you guys come up with is a bit weathered now. The one thing I offered was that we try to make sense in discussing issues - was that a "new" phenomenon to justle your comfort zone?

If you've got nothing important to say, simply pass on - no one's going to increase your house rent for keeping silent! Haa!

fortunately(or maybe unfortunately), most of us are not as uncouth and sallow as your fellow 'evangelists'.running into threads to start fires

No vex. The fires were to keep you guys warm and agile. We're used to all the usual skating and perforated handgloves (so to speak) coming from your camp - and that's why I urged that we took our enquiries to another thread so you guys can be tucked in here neat and tidy! Wetin bad in that?

anyway, keep coming back here,who knows, you just might find your way back to the right path. i admire your 'hardworking' thinking.

Thanks for the offer. It's just that the more I read from you guys, the further away from Mecca I travel. No offences, . . but as usual, the next thing is that someone would amicably quote Sura 109:6 (Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.)

Anyways, enjoy. . . and dress warm.

As-salaam alaykum wa rahmatullah my esteemed brothers and sisters.
The sermon at yesterday's Jumat service revolved around repentance and its importance, and I totally agree that it's quite an exigent topic.
One cannot help but wonder why Niegrians are so religious, yet so unfaithful! Despite the proliferation of places of worship, Nigeria still reclines in the abyss of corruption and moral decadence.
The companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) perceived sin as a mountain dangling over their heads and hence, were very mindful of it, while today's muslims' perception of same is as a fly perching on one's nose which can easily be waved off with a passing of the hand.
We all have our weaknesses as humans, so we should strive to improve on our flaws and SINCERELY repent of our sins ASAP as no one knows when his/her time will be up.

May Allah continue to have mercy on us.

when will you guys stop ignoring Davidylan?

he will be banned withg this new addy soon

mukina2:

@ topic

i was watching a lecture by sheikh Rahman and he was talking about muslims discriminating against ourselves

mukina2:

when will you guys stop ignoring Davidylan?

he will be banned withg this new addy soon

pilgrim.1:

I don't think that was fair - mentioning him when he has been absent from this thread. Unless you guys miss him so dearly, then I can understand why the call to "stop ignoring" him.

Anyway, enjoy the afternoon.

PTH:

that's easy - women are an agricultural piece of land and men are supposed to approach them with hoes and cutlasses.

I-man:

You forget to mention handkerchief! I just love seeing them have to re-interprete their religion in the face of contemporary attitudes,especially with regards to gender equality. Having just witnessed the famous "4:34 dance",I would like to see another dance performed with "2:223".

oyb:

we should also strive to be in the front row. if we but knew the rewards. . .

pilgrim.1:

'Preciate your musings, Mustay & oyb.

@oyb, I'm just wondering. . . if everyone strives to be in the front row, what would happen to those who don't get there but often find themselves behind everytime they strive? Not a serious point, though - just wondering about it.

Regards.

oyb:

most of us don't strive in the first place. there's a failproof way of being in the front row, which applies to all aspects of life. . . arrive early

enitan2002:

wetin you find come here baby?You dey try no be small o.
I thought this thread is for moslems only

I-man:

If everyone strives to arrive early there would still be people who arrive early but don't get into the front row.How does being in the fronto row make your a better person?

I-man:

The front row should be reserved for the elderly,physically impaired and those with hearing difficulties not for young men who happen to arrive early.

PTH:

is salvation dependent on mundane things like coming early and keeping quiet in the mosque? What of babies and little children? Would allah dislike them because they babble in the mosque?
