Alfas are like babalawos in Islam.  They can see the future and predict what is going to happen. Are their gifts from Allah?. If not, why did islam approve it?


2. Can a woman be Alfa?; if not, why?

Those alfas are not muslim because they have committed the greatest sin which is shirk, they are soothsayers, they unite with jinn to do their ungodly act, nobody knows the future except Allah.

If you don't know their future because they have sinned against Allah, why condemn apostates to death since they are guilty of the same crime?. Why not allow Allah to judge them since you don't know their future?

I think we need to understand something. Not all alfas are heretic.  Any alfa that claims to see the future or engage in fortune telling or engage in fetish practices is the one that is deviant. The fact that someone is addressed as alfa doesn't automatically mean he is heretic or fetish. There are authentic alfas that know that those fetish practices are wrong and don't engage in it.

Islam did not approve predicting the future and claiming to know the future. But this should not be confused with dream, as there are authentic dreams where Allah can decide to show someone what will ahppen in the future.

The definition of alfa as used in Yoruba language is complex.
If alfa is defined to mean someone who predicts and foretells the future, whether man or woman, it is not approved
If alfa is defined to mean someone with Islamic knowledge, of course a woman can be knowledgeable in Islam
If alfa is defined as someone that preaches Islam, yes, a woman can preach provided she observes Islamic rules regarding women
These are just some of the ways alfa is used in Yoruba language.

the muslims already know what the truth is of alfa and or mallam. ilm is knowledge. those who associate theirs with jinn involvement, talking about future, playing God shall have their place in Hell-Fire.

its the non-muslims who are naive about these things, and of cause the hypocrites among the muslims, hiding their disbelief.

Does it mean that Islam disapproves prophecy and prophets?.

unlike christianity, the last prophet in Islam was Muhammad (as). so in over 1400 years, you will see that Islam being completely formed and finalized does not change. it is not discarding any of its elements, and adopting something new. we cant say the same for christianity.

so it is only in christianity that you have future tellers, fortune tellers, soothsayers, etc, and no surprise that your religion changes as the world turns, so it turns with it, including all the trimings of having prophets and prophetess! i wonder what the prophetess does when she has her monthly periods, with excruciating pain and she cant even stand up, or when she is in her first trimester with all the morning sicknesses, throwing up, or wen she is in labor trying to deliver the child of god, child of mother prophet?  she cant fortell the condition of the prophetess? lol.

Why did Allah quit using people as prophets after muhammed(Pbuh). Does it mean that modern day muslims have no use for prophecy?

Nobody said you are ashamed to be muslim. Stop reassuring us about your Islamic pride. I don't know why this brother of yours below was not in a hurry to see his 72 virgins yet he sent others along. Is he gay or what? Wink Wink

Re: Alfa
« #23 on: November 06, 2009, 05:13 AM »

Aloy~Emeka, my man, ahadith is ike the Bible. In it you have what is authentic, by its correspondency with the Quran. In the Bible you have what comes from God and His prophets.

In ahadith you have what is questionable, as it does not give a clear corrolation to Quranic verse. Similar is what you find in the Bible that is vague and no clear indication and you guys twist to sooth your warp agenda.

in the last case is clearly lies, having no ability to pass as the things Muhammad (AS) will say, because it opposes any and all Quranic verses. What correspond to this is the pure lies that Paul and company and others say about God and His Angels and His Messengers and Prophets (AS)!

While Abuzola are at least engaged in healthy arguments about what we deem doubtful by one of us, we agree on what is clear in ahadith.

But you, a christian will not disagree with another Christian as long as the lies fit your agenda, reclusing you from taking responsibility of you. A human being is called God and you gullibly take it up, hook, line and sinker! The same human who bleeds, uses the bathroom and must clean himself up, etc? Smart man, snap out of it!

Emeka lying is bad, if there are no controversy about what to believe in the bible  like hadith then simply show us:
The book of Esther
The book of Baruch
The book of tabias
The book of judith
etc, all these are part of the bible but today they were concealed, there is huge disagreement between the protestant and catholic, isn't this what constitute to Controversy ?

Grin Grin Grin At least you've accepted that the hadith is unreliable. If you want me to answer other questions, open a thread in the christian section and watch me put you to shame. Have you heard of the word"apocrypha"?

you must be kidding me, if mark 12 verse 29, 'oh israel you Lord and my Lord is but One God', say jesus, means that means the same thing as the John;s verse 'i and God are one'? if not know that  the Bible contradicts itself. infact, i restrict my proofs to nt, only. go look at it, a peep into the greatest opposing book, against itself. the damage here is that you dont even know it, though you see it, you have a reader block. lol.
