lexiconkabir: I don't get it. Like what do you doubt it halal nature in restaurant? Apart from meat. (Do they sell pig meat or dog meat in that side?) On vehicle issue, you can take a bike Or tricycle. |
Re: How Do A Muslim Leave Life In Islamic Ways And Enjoy Life In Nigeria by Nobody: 10:40am On Dec 16, 2016 |
snapscore: yeah, thats true, but i do that when going back home, its kinda difficult when going to school, due to how fast we get ready for school differently, plus vehicle is difficult to get, so we have to "hustle" for it, hope you know what i mean. |
Re: How Do A Muslim Leave Life In Islamic Ways And Enjoy Life In Nigeria by Nobody: 10:43am On Dec 16, 2016 |
FriendChoice: yoy can't be sure of the meat being sold, it might even be a meat prepared from animals that died on their own On vehicle issue, you can take a bike Or tricycle that's not allowed here. |

lexiconkabir: OK if you have not seen that situation happens in that area. Then you have to clear your mind from D doubt and stop assuming.
OK here also commercial bike is not allowed. But tricycle ah. Its everywhere. I cannot remember when last a take a bus. Perhaps since 2013. |

stranger26:WA alaykum salaam waramah, I think you have asked and answered your question(s) in the affirmative. Aside from the socio cultural aspect you mentioned, which I think is even one of the minutest fitnah for Muslims living in Nigeria. The issue of sustenance as far as Islam is, if not without care, will unknowingly lead one to jahanam, may Allah save us from it. The awra , air and breeze of usury which hitherto has pervaded the European countries, has crept into the Nigeria space and more importantly amongst Muslim's, unnoticed and unhindered. Few businesses and paid jobs are a rarity when it comes to halal sustenance, the minbar is now an avenue for making all sorts of money by the so called scholars and the assumed enlightened Muslim's are seriously entangled with such unknowingly. Even the Al sunnah brothers and sisters have resorted to begging whether directly or indirectly. And worst case, economic downturn has taken a collosal effect on the unmah. For the diaspora muslims, they face tougher challenges in swimming to safety with the plethora of challenges, however, having Allah's trust, mixing with people of good Islamic orientation and other knowledge on halal sustenance in the 21st century will Masha Allah give a Lee way. For the partying, avoid them as much as you can and be steadfast in avoidance, treat all occasions according to the dictates of Allah and His apostle even if organized by your mum, dad or spouse, they will complain if you stick to Allah and even if you do not. |

asalamualaiqum, In my view for one to practice Islam in Nigeria the right way is nothing but putting faith in Allah (SW) and try as much as possible to avoid most sins we do come across. i base in Abuja (kubwa) for the past 18yrs and to me the main issue I do face here is Alcohol and the opposite SEX whether from non believers or Muslim sisters (mostly) imagine going to juma'at prayers and coming across a sister coming to prayers with trousers and a tiny vail same as where one can't take a 5min walk without seeing a half unclad lady roaming about or a beer bottle cover or can on walk parts which is Alarming.

sino: How I wish I can give you 1million likes, To buttress ur point, Islam is a religion to be practiced at all period and every location. The question would have been, was the prophet practicing Islam during the days of Jahilliyya in makkah? How did he practice it and how would he have practiced it if he were to be in Nigeria with us. With that we've gotten the solution we are searching after. Even if one were to be in Saudi Arabia, would one be able to practice Islam 100%? 1 Like |

sino: Very well said. Looking inwards at every moment, reflecting on my actions and inactions has been what has kept me up in Islam. By this, masha Allaah, I try to be a better muslim everyday. That said, for the difficulties in Nigeria or elsewhere, we should always remember that Allah will ONLY and ALWAYS judge our actions according to our intentions. Seeing half-dressed women everyday does not culminate as sin. It becomes a sin when you WANT or INTEND to see half-dressed women. Same for every other difficulties 2 Likes |

Waleikum sallam warahama This will depend on your (Iman) faith. If your faith is not that strong, you may think that you can't practice the way you like but if your faith is very strong, you can do it the way you wish. |

There is no how u would want to practice true islam or sunnah without frustrating and becoming an enemy to people who detests sunnah. U can hardly see a brother with his long beards and short trouser or sister with her full hijab been employed by multinational companies all because of the hatred for sunnah. May Allah guide us all AMIN. 1 Like |

snapscore: My 20 something days in camp was campy actually. Our blessed sisters are usually harassed stylishly as usual. This is a common practice, especially from the womenfolk amongst the authority, they always tel dem not to wear full hijab and so on, but biizinillaah, our serious minded sisters try to be modest by putting on hijab that at least gets to the, or close to the knee, and their boxers shorts and usually below d knee(they brought it from home sha, bcuz the ones dey gv thr r like d one ozybosco abi Emmanuela suppose dey wear..lol hehehehe) like three-quarter, I admire sisters who go against all odds and protect their dignity...dis is from my own experience o. Even I read once sef, even in a northern camp, a hijabi was harassed for putting on full hijab..imagine, even in d north, and I'm sure it is those filthy old women who are nakedly dressed, and are jealous of our beautiful sisters. Though, it is usually toughest the first week of camp, by 2nd week, ppl don settle, maybe na to dey dodge parade ni thus dey dey MOSQUE, and all sorts, until d 3rd week wen we go disperse. Where hypocrisy dey be say, dey say dat our women shouldn't use hijab, but during the Mr Macho, Miss Camp, these FILTHY ppl allow, dirty, good-for-nothing girls go on stage and parade dem selves for some clumsy award for mr macho/miss camp like some CATTLE one wants to buy for party... They prefer girls in dat stupid white fowl t-shirt and bumpy shorts exposing the UNExPosable..causing fitnah for MeN, what really vexes me is, u see most muslimahs who wear dos skimpy cloths and still put on their skimpy hijab on top...dat can vex meeeeeeee!!! What's d essence of it gan na. If no be my platoon football wey I play, and d morning parade exercise wey I like wella, as per say, I like be military person, but for the Unsharialistic Nigeria. I'm categorically telling u, I didn't participate(even going to watch) in dos, camp fire, Mr Macho, Miss Nysc, I be quiet stubborn, shy person. One thing be say, as a group, MuslimCorpersAssociation of Nigeria(MCAN), dem dey fear us wella, esp if our northern alagidi/stubborn brothers dey dey...u go dey hear, ' kai kai kaaaaai, ya zai ana mu zuwa masalaci, bura uban guard commander/kai kai kai, aw he go take stop us from goin to d masjid, *curses* guard commander' bcuz it is our ryt, esp for zuhr salat, no problem wif oda salawat, subhi(b4 parade), asr( free time b4 evening parade, dinning), magribh and isha(free time, dinning) But some muslims too behave unsunnatic, by always lying, mosque this, mosque dat, salat dis salat dat..wanting to go to d masjid, even wen d tym has approached, we shud do it collectively, but whr go sha see some Judas sha, dy spoil Islaam for us. Ni pa ri, been ur sef, has you dey b4 camp, naso make u dey during, afta camp, on the path of SALAF, just bcuz other muslims are doing a wrong thing, doesn't make it right. I hope I try Umm..what Me na AbU Sulaim be my Kunya, inshaaAllaah...LOL LOL......*phew*, J.R.R Tolkien think say na only she sabi write story(Hobbit and co) ni, make she come learn from MOI!!

Besides countries with maybe 80% + muslim population, there are no countries where it's easy to practise Islam especially as a Muslim striving hard to follow the Sunnah. You'll always get those funny looks and funny questions. But with time, they all get used to it once they realize you're hardcore and their mockery isn't changing anything. The only sad thing about this is that fellow muslims also participate in this act. That said, It's good to just keep doing your thing without paying attention to them. Try to be as cordial as you can. As for those harassing our women, they do that only when they know the men are not around. That's why it's good to have a Mahram wherever you are Oh you dare not try that around me. I don't care about your status and wherever we are. Ko ni rogbo fun e rara. Since we dealt with one yeye principal at Clegg in Surulere, I heard she has been playing safe since then Also, I think another reason why this harassment happens a lot is because most of our Muslim folks at the top are very weak in faith and are very timid. You can hardly tell some of them are Muslims. It's like they feel ashamed being Muslims. It's a sad trend unfortunately Allaahu musta'aan |

AbuHammaad: yeah its true! i don't think anyone could mess around with an hijab sister and I'm there without me trying to shield her, that was how a sister wanted to enter a vehicle but saw that its aalmost all male bus, she didnt enter again, then the Christians there wanted to say things that will hurt her like "holy holy, and we know type how you sleep around with people", when i heard that my head exploded, lol, that was how i started talking and talking, till they all stopped talking. this is why women are adviced to be with their mahram like you said, that way they get safe, but its a pity some women don't like being followed around. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=snapscore post=52067797][/quote]I haven't really been fully engaged in the outside world, asin, I term myself a shy and bashful. I always keep to myself and this has helped me a great deal, Alhamdullahi. Muslims make up a great number in this country so the way we behave is very important. So basically my advice for us is that, we can help propagate Islamic values. The Islamic Banks are available just open an account there, lower your gazes, etc. The truth and fact of the matter is, when you keep the beard the highest anyone can tell you is to term you "boko haram", "tableeg", "fanatic", etc and these are easily brushed away. For sisters, practicing Islam depends on where you are, it'll be a great problem in the south east/south but easy in the north and most parts of south west. Wallahi, I'm a living witness that men tend to be rude to ladies who don't dress well. Friends here in school respect hijabis more than Non-hijabis, now imagine how they'll now respect Niqabi sisters. There's nothing more beautiful than Abaya and Jilbaabs, it's superb and I see no reason why sisters won't want to it. Left to me, when I marry, I'll load my wife with enough beautiful and classy Jilbaabs and Abayas Insha'Allah! Would be updating Insha'Allah! 1 Like 2 Shares |

lexiconkabir: So true as regards our blessed women with their mahram, that's y everything the prophet asked us to do in d sunnah has wisdom behind it Eg > eating with 3 fingers(neatness, honor and cleanliness b4, during, after eating) > dusting d bed b4 lying on it(dangerous elements like ur deadskin cells, and animals) >flapping our cloths b4 putting it on(dangerous elements like ur deadskin cells, and animals) > women going out with mahram(safety) >Facing people when talking to them ie when someone calls u frm behind, u turn ur whole body ni(neck ache) > When an housefly enters ur food, we should dip d whole fly in the food and throw it away(antidote) >Loves taking honey(best cure) >Not drinking water at a go like a beast of burden(drinking water in 2-3 gulps, quenches thirst better) >Asking for permission b4 entering upon someone(not to see sometyn one shud not see) > Sleeping early, waking up early(Good for the body, and u enjoy ur body d bext day) SNAPSCORE na medic prac, is lie?! >Using miswak(healthy gum and teeth) >Using perfume( smelling something pleasant is good BRAINically) And many many many more.
