I'm sure those pple u mentioned comment reasonably on christian threads. They don't comment by insulting pples valued beliefs, a practice common amongst u folks.
Nobody is insulting your belief rather we are undressing the veil surrounding religion.



The truth and hypocrisy in Christianity and Islam must be exposed.



Your fears made you to put that oath but its like a lollipop to me

I m not a NL mod. But am sure NL authorities, whoever they re, are aware of the dreadful disgruntledness and unruliness of u guys.
Mind u, I like when pple, rationally and intellectually, interrogate the fundamental beliefs of Islam. Islam itself discourage against unquestioned beliefs and bigotry.
If u re really ready to engage then let us respect each other first.

That funny moment when you want me to respect ur muslim belief but you flaunt yourself on Ipob thread because you don't like their belief is called Hypocrisy.

you could imagine the tears that rolled down my cheeks (not literally tho, i hardly shed tears grin), what kind of life have i been living? life of NO SALAAH, life of GIRLS(yes i had GFs), infact at the point of death i was with "punk hairstyle", so is this how i would've gone to Allaah with "punk"? grin, I had earpiece listening to the Qur'an of shaytaan(i.e music) when thr accident happened, was this how i would've died? with so much burden to carry when i stand in front of Allaah? a day when every atom weight of evil you have done will be shown to you? how bout the punishment i would've received in the grave before yaumul qiyaamah? subhanAllaah, Allaah had mercy upon me.

As’salam alaikum brothers and sisters in Islam.

Today, I would like us to share unforgettable experience(s) that drew us closer to Allah subuhanu wa ta’ala. It does not have to be a negative experience but something you will like to share with others so we may benefit from it.
Today I will be sharing one of the many times I thought I was going to die. This is one of the times I said to myself ‘ah oti ton fun mi’/ it is over for me.
It all began about nine weeks to Ramadan. I noticed I would randomly get dizzy and nauseated. I did not really have any major health issues so I didn’t bother much. I was a little worried but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Lesson no 1: Take care of your body as much as you can because it’s trust from Allah.

Time went by, Ramadan came, and these symptoms became more frequent especially during the last ten days. I could not pinpoint why, but I thought perhaps, it was dehydration or low blood sugar. However, during one of the last ten nights, my symptoms worsened. I was tired, vomiting, and dizzy. I had never ever felt like this before. I have felt tired and weak before but this was on another level. I felt like my body had failed me and had given up on me.

Now, I have many experiences where I thought I was going to die (like the time I almost drowned) but this was different. This time I believed I was dying.Questing started to pop in. Did I live a good life? How would my case be with Allah? What of the people that I might have backbitten, slandered, or oppressed in any way? Did I oppress people with my tongue and hands? I have not had a chance to seek their forgiveness.

Lesson no2: Repent seek forgiveness from those you may have oppressed in any way or form. If you cannot do that that make dua for them, speak and treat them in a good manner.

One of the hadith that was stuck in my mind at that time, was the Prophet’s advice (peace and blessing be upon him) to take five before five.
It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) advised: “Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death”. (Narrated by Ibn Abbas and reported by Al Hakim)

I couldn’t but wonder......did I take advantage of my life? My health? My time? If I were to die now, would I die a good death? Am I being hopeful of Allah?

It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah al-Ansaari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say, three days before he died: “No one of you should die except thinking positively of Allah.” Narrated by Muslim (2877).
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) on commentary of the hadith said: The scholars mentioned what is meant by thinking positively of Allah, may He be exalted, is thinking that He will have mercy on you and forgive you. Then, when the signs of death appear, hope should outweigh fear, or should prevail completely. Sharh Muslim (17/210)

At some point I started to wonder how much of my little wealth savings did I really keep for myself.
Al-Tirmidhi narrated that they slaughtered a sheep at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and gave it in charity except for its shoulder. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked ‘As’ishah, “What is left of it?” She said: “Nothing is left except the shoulder.” He said: “All of it will remain except its shoulder.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen on commentary of this hadith mentioned. Whatever a person eats goes and no longer remains, but that which he gives in charity is what will remain for him with Allaah and he will benefit from it on the Day of Resurrection. This hadeeth is a reference to the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever is with Allaah (of good deeds) will remain” [al-Nahl 16:96].

I would like us to pause for moment and ask ourselves how much of our time are we really spending for ourselves? And how much of our wealth are we really spending for ourselves?

I will leave you with the advice of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) who said; “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler along a path.” Ibn Umar said, “If you enter the evening, then do not wait for the morning. If you enter the morning, then do not wait for the evening. Take from your health for your sickness and from your life for your death.” Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6053

We all know that death is as real as it can get and our clocks are continuously ticking, so what have we prepared for when the soul would reach the throats?

NOTE: This story has been exaggerated a little to draw lessons.

Well I don't really have story to share..just that I school in khartoum,not one of the places you'll want to be .I started looking for admissions late (my dad wanted an islamic country) and it was the only country I managed to get apart from others who put me on waiting list,incase some students don't show up.A month after I came here,I sat for my IELTS examination,because I wasn't willing to stay;intended transferring to some other school after my first year which needed the IELTS test.
I got along quickly with my new class mates and decided to join some of them in the islamiyya they attend.SubhanaAllah, it didn't take much time before I decided I wanted to stay;the place wasn't as bad as I thought & my school was very very good too.
I had so much about my religion I needed to know,knowledge which I know will be hard for me to get if I leave this place.
The islamic rulings I didn't understand,some were easily explained to me and made alot of sense.It took me less than a year to decide I wanted to wear the hijab, willingly on my own..I just wanted to cover up.Had more peace of mind learning about my religion,my priorities changed . I've stopped going to the islamiyya for some years now and it has definitely affected me spiritually.
I've just some months left here,and I'll definitely miss this place because I've learnt so much about my religion here.
It was a blessing in disguise, something I never wanted.

Alhamdulillaah! Really, learning about Islam on its own can encourage you to become a practicing Muslim, because every single thing makes sense if you see someone that can explain them for you, and once you get it, you feel this inner joy, satisfaction and peace.

I lost someone emotionally and it was a hard time moving on...A friend invited me to do Itikaaf @ syrian mosque Ikoyi..

During one of my sujood..I started to think about everything and could not stop crying uncontrollably..The floor was wet and soaked in my tears..I could hear my heart beat and everything was so awesome...That was the most peaceful position have ever been..


When I read surah Qaf. "it will ask, 'Are there no more to come?' (Surah Qaf: 30) and Surah Qiyama and the last verse of Surah Luqman..I will start crying again..

When I read Surah Rahman..I started thinking about all the favours of Allah and how he has been so merciful to me..

After the itikaaf my emotional wound healed and I became stronger and still striving to be better..

Walahi Islam is the way..If you are currently facing any problem right now just wake up @ night and lost your self in sujjod..I swear by the creator of the Universe you will find the solution to your problem..



The real test of being in the presence of Allah is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small,powerless, dirty object...See yourself as infinitesimal as a single sand on the beach,see yourself bowing down in front of an unimaginable being.

If you sit in the dark of the night before your master do the act of the children..this is because when a child seek for something from his father and he is not given he cries..Cry out to Allah ,pour your heart to him,ask him for your needs,ask him to save you from life tribulations and grant you the ultimate reward(Jannah)



Make ur sujood hearty and intimate sajdah where tears would flow and become the ink of message to your creator..

May Allah make us die as muslims..Amin

Hmmmn, I've always been praying and fulfilling my duties as Muslim but I didn't do them at the appointed time, especially my Salaah.

I was going through the Qur'an one day, I came across a chapter I read almost everyday, but I didn't know it's through meaning. This is why it's necessary for us as Muslims to learn the Arabic language, so as we can understand the Qur'an. The translation is as follows:

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense? For that is the one who drives away the orphan. And does not encourage the feeding of the poor. So woe to those who pray, [But] who are heedless of their prayer and it's stated times- Those who make show [of their deeds]. And withhold [simple] assistance. Qur'an 107

WAllahi when I read this chapter, I pondered and I concluded that it refers to me.

#I was super stingy in Junior Secondary to the extent they called me "St" aka "Saint Steve" (weird right?!)

#I didn't pray at the appointed time.

It was this one chapter that changed me, Alhamdullahi!
