Below are the updated categories of Muslims (Laxity, radical and moderate) you are likely to find in your mosque (Yoruba land as a case study) during Taroweeh prayer. You are encouraged to be like those in category 10. They are considered to be a moderate Muslims practicing Islam in accordance with the sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. Try as much as possible to refrain from falling in the rest categories


1. The Ceremonial Muslims: These are Muslims found in the Mosque during only the Islamic festive period. They purchase new Rosaries, Quran (though they are not proficient in reading it and most time just for decoration), new Islamic wear only to be identified as Muslims in their community and place of works. They are only found in the Mosque on the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, and the last day of Ramadan. This is not good, try and adjust! Do not be a Muslim during Ramadan alone, try and be a conscious Muslim all time.

2. The Lazy Ones: With time, those in the first category graduate to those here. Since they are not used to the system before, they make complain and hiss when their Imams start Solat especially if he recites long Surah. To them, Suratul l Kaothar (Ina a'taena...) is too long, if you say this Surah is long, tell us which are short to recite ("Mudia motaani"?, "Yaasin"?); Lazy! They only want their Imam to finish the whole 11 Rakahs (or as the case may be) including Solatul Ishai in 5 minutes. Impossible! They are in turns lazy to themselves too. Refrain, remember we are all going to die one day!

3. The Late-comer: Those that will never meet Solatul Ishai in the congregation. Most of them do this intentionally. They come after Solat Ishai with their co-latecomers to make their own congregation and thus have their own Imam disturbing the active solat in the mosque. When Taraweeh prayer is ongoing, you will see them observing their own Ishai and target the completion of the solat till when their Imam wants to start Witri. Stop coming late to the mosque, it is a bad attitude and you are depriving yourself a lot of rewards!

4. The Glutton: These are those that almost eat all the kinds of food available during Iftar. They mix any food available to them together and insist on eating breakfast and lunch missed. Rice with Pap, Gaari with orange, Spaghetti with Pasta, Beans and Kulikuli, Fura with Nunun, Tuwo with Sharwama e.t.c. Chai! You notice them easily because they will renew their ablution every five minutes. You will not even pray they stay next to you for they will surely pollute the air. My brother, eat moderately and practice the sunnah of Miswak (act of brushing/washing teeth) upon making every solat as the prophet recommends!

5. The PRO: They are those that remind people of their already scheduled set of Nawaafil every night. Most worshipers are attentive and look at them to give an order of what they should observe the following night. Their usual mode of reminder is ‘Nafila Oru to ni …. (Tonight's Nafila is…)’. Egbon, leave them alone! let them perform the number of Rakkahs that are convenient for them in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet. Stop giving the order because it is not a known practice from our pious predecessors. It is an act of innovation(Bid'ha), desist, you can observe any number of rakkahs that are convenient for you in 2s !

6. The BF or GF searcher: These are mainly bachelors/spinsters. They come to observe Taroweeh prayer mainly to meet their boyfriend or girlfriend (as the case may be). Those in this category say their "Aameen" uniquely and loudly after Ummu-l-Kitab (Suratul Fatihah) recitation is read as a signal to their boy/girlfriend they are around. This is called a riyau (eye-service) and may not earn you any reward. So be sincere, go and marry lawfully. May Allah ease your affairs

7. The Bloggers: These are the likes of lalasticlala, seun, sissie, mukina2 and others like them. You see them with their phones and chargers to take the advantage of the mosque’s power generator. You see them after each unit of Solat checking for the post to place on FP or Whatsapp updates. Fear Allah and keep your phone at home till after Solat. Remember they will not bury our phones with us when we die!

8. The Mouth Stinkers: These and those in category 4 are like `5 and 6`, they are friends. After they've enjoyed all their foods alone at home, you close your nose every time because their mouth stinks anytime they yawn or talk to you. They do not practise Miswak. You easily conclude you have comprehended what they are saying even if you do not understand. My friend, imbibe the Sunnah of the Prophet by using Siwaak (chewing stick) upon every ablution to reduce the odor. Doing so will earn a reward too.

9. Space claimer: The majority in this category are the Old ones. You dare not sit at where they claim. If you sit there, they will tell you the history of how your father woos your mother and how they gave birth to you including the amount of dowry paid when they married each other. With due respect sirs and mas, every space in the mosque belongs to all worshipers. Thanks for your understanding!

10. The Pious Ones: These are moderate, true, and sincere worshipers. They follow the steps of the Prophet and our pious predecessors in all that they do. You will always meet and leave them in the mosque. They complete all their Solat (prayer) with the Imaam, you even wonder whether they live in the mosque. They use all their time judiciously to recite Quran, say adhkar and engage in other Ibaadat that can fetch them rewards during and after Ramadan. These are those we should envy. Let us all try to be one. Let us make take every opportunity embedded in this month of blessing.

11. Add yours

May Allah make us one of His true and sincere worshipers and make us witness more of Ramadan in life with good health and sound faith (Ameen).

Ramadan Mubarak

It’s a pity that the category 10 is what the kiriyos call extremist .
The unserious Muslims aka munafiqis are the moderate Muslims to them(korinyos).
May Allah SWT guide us

Our Standard is the Qur'an and sunnah.

We keep striving to follow them till the end.

Allah says:
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
(Qur'an 3:85)

May Allah make us among the pious who will be closest to Him in Jannah! Aamin

all are radical.

Islam is a religion of violence, murder and bloodshed. The only thing you offer the world is death and destruction.

One of you, Pantami, is in charge of all the data, BVN, phone numbers and information about Nigerians and he had link with terrorist organisation. A father even accused him of overseeing the murder of his son in a mosque where he is chief imam.

A typical Muslim is a terrorist in his heart.

RADICALS AND EXTREMISTS , HOW CAN THE WORLD GET BETTER HAVING THOSE SETS OF HUMANS IN OUR MIDTS .

Nice seeing another perspective of you Lukgaf.

Couldn't have assumed you will be someone who makes light-hearted jokes too.

At least this thread is less of hypocrisy for the first time

You copied Quran from the Bible. Mohamed didn't get the Quran from angel. He lied to you. He copied the Bible when he traveled to Jerusalem. That was about 500 years after Christianity started

Chai! Was the Bible you have today compiled during the life of the Prophet?

You need to answer this question below. I will keep repeating it till you answer them all.
The Qur'an you say is copied from the Bible (as it is today) right?

1. Who wrote each of the Bible Books?
2. How can 1. above be verified?
3. How are the books of the bible passed down from generation to generation?
4.Who authenticated them at each generations?
5. Who are the copyists?
6.What are the credibility of the copyists and writers?
7.How sound in remembering texts are they?
8.How was the Bible books gathered? compiled?

The first five books of the current day Bible were written by Moses, the one you call Musa.

The book of judges and Joshua were written by Joshua.

The book of Psalms was written by King David, the one you call Dauda.

The books of the prophets were written by the each of the prophets.

The first 4 books in the new testament were written by the disciples, like Matthew, Mark, Like and John. The Acts of Apostle were written by the apostles. The letters were written by Paul and John the beloved.

The Bible has a history of writers we can trace. But Mohamed lied to you that he got the Quran from an angel, whereas he copied it from the Bible. Mohamed the copycat .

How you manage to believe the lies with all your education really baffles me. It means education can never help you.

Let me bust your lie here. Moses never wrote them. At least not all of them if he ever wrote any. Google it.
Do you mean he also wrote his obituary.

LIAR!

RADICAL SLAVES

How was the Bible formed

The Bible was written by the people of God in ancient times.

The Bible is like a reportage of what took place in those days. The writers can even be found online to tell you how open the entire process is.

But can we say the same thing about the Quran?

Mohamed lied that he got it from.an angel, whereas, he copied Quran from the Bible. Kindly read the Quran and the old testament of the Bible and you will get what I'm saying.

Nairaland is fast becoming a neuropsychiatric platform full of individuals struggling for attention.
It's quite unfortunate the admins seems to be collecting heavy payment from CAN or Christian Movements spending heavily to paint Islam.
I am sure majority of people running their mouths here relating each n every stuffs to Islam are individuals who never experienced life beyond their fathers house, people who since their birth never read Bible from start to the end for once . People who only attends church to observe female shapes, and cum regularly dancing close to half naked babes every Sunday.
I have always said this, if young ladies are stopped from attending churches , in fact redeem or winners chapels as big as they're will be empty.
Seriously, I am challenging any of you guys to write about the advent of Christianity in Africa, maybe some of you will get sense.

So which category does the sucide bombers and terrorists fall into?


Also which category does the jihadists conquering territories for allah fall into?



which category does the covert terrorists , sponsoring jihad movement and blood letting of unbelievers and infidels for allah fall into?



let me guess ,they all belong to the category of "the pious ones" .lol

You got into this thread by telling lies and pretending to be a Muslim. Who will ever trust or respect such a hypocrite and mischief maker. Go and read both the Bible and the Quran . The Quran could not have been copied from the comedy you call bible.

Jazakal laahu khaer.

Mind you the enemies are more aggressive now than ever

For your information, that stupid oath you people put there has no effect on anyone.

Come to think of it, why do people have to take oath before commenting on Islam related thread?

Is Islam so hideous and sinister?

Is there something bad about Islam? Is that why people have to take oath before commenting?

You should feel bad about it yourself and request that the oath be removed.

If nothing is wrong with Islam, then there should be no such oath.

So, where did Mohammed get the Quran? From an angel ? Continue deceiving yourself.

The names and stories in the Quran are also present in the Bible.

The books of the Bible had been existing 500 years before Islam came.

Use your head, boy.

You called the Bible a comedy, yet your L'órí irọ́ Mohamed copied a comedy . Wake up and stop being dumb.

Must Christians comment on Muslim trend?

And to prove that the admins collect money from CAN, they make people to take an oath before commenting on Islam related threads, but there is no such thing in Christian-related threads.

You are just playing the victim, whereas you are the villain.

I read the Bible and that's why I know the quran is a lie and a deception.

Mohamed didn't get the Quran from an angel. He copied if from the Bible.

There is nothing hidden about the Bible. You will find sufficient record about your question on Google.

On your part, can you tell us who wrote the Quran ? Now don't tell me it was an angel that gave it to Mohamed. You will be sounding stupid if you say that rubbish.
