Islam for Muslims / Re: Ramadan Diet by talk2ahmed(m): 12:49pm On Aug 01, 2011

Islam for Muslims / Doubling Your Reward This Ramadan by talk2ahmed(m): 12:39pm On Aug 01, 2011
This is a marvelous month and we all know it, Muslim , Ahlil-kitab or Animists , one thing is sure, in every race there is always the firsters and the last finishers. Dyu want to be among the best=of the-best or u just want to merely fast?
The following can help you improve your chances of doubling your rewards
1- Pledge not to miss a single sallah and make sure you do it at the right time
2- Dont break your fast except you find some1 to share your fruits/drinks/ dates or food with
3- fill up kettles with which people will perform ablution, for everyone who performs Ablution correctly and prays correctly, you get nearly 50% of his reward without affecting his/hers
4- wear ur earpiece always loaded with Qiraats and tafsir or islamic contents, otherwise you may just be feeding your ears unwittingly with "do-me! do me!" or some other dunya/xrated contents
5-Pray immediately after each call to prayer
6- Tarawih is very important, try to be punctual
7- Dont overload your stomach because it could affect your rewarsds as it will make you unduely dull or sluggish and lax.
Ramadan Kareem!

no one forced non-muslims to it na, did u force sanusi lamido to attend St. Annes primary school kaduna? A catholic schol,yet he did, coming from a royal family with core values in islam/hausa tradition, he did and got an "A" in CRK WAEC, Did it change his "Muslimness", no, it rather made him a more accomodating Muslim.
If the xtians could have Redeemers University, Bowen University, Catholic Hospitals, what is wrong with the Muslims operating "Islamic Banking?"

Religion / Pdp And The National Mosque by talk2ahmed(m): 11:33am On Jun 29, 2011
You can describe the events I relate here as inauguration drama at the National Mosque, Abuja. It was Friday 27th May, 2011, a day designated by the Presidential Inauguration Ceremonies Committee for a Special Inauguration Juma’at Prayers (whatever that means) at the National Mosque.
Battle-ready and stern-looking security forces (a combined team of military, police and SSS) blocked all access roads to the National Mosque; it looked like a mosque under siege. Cars conveying worshipers to observe their weekly religious devotions were turned back; they were told to park miles away from the mosque and trek. That was not all; Muslim faithful were subjected to thorough, humiliating searches with metal detectors. They were asked to remove their caps, empty their pockets and leave their bags outside the mosque. It was quite reminiscent of the Abacha years in the same mosque. Not since military rule have we witnessed the use of state organs of coercion in such a brazen manner; not even when the president (Yar’Adua) was to be inaugurated. Many left in anger and observed the prayers in other mosques vowing never to pray henceforth at the National Mosque. No one was spared as the instruction, according to these men in full military and police fatigue, was that ‘no car should be allowed into the mosque premises.’ Thus, unless your vehicle was preceded by a police escort jeep to indicate the importance of the occupant, you were turned back; whoever you might be. Only top government functionaries, ministers, etc. could have access to the mosque. Only two ambassadors – that of Malaysia and that of Indonesia (if I’m not mistaken) – made it to the mosque on that day from the diplomatic community in Abuja. Even the Chief Imam who was to lead the prayers did not find it easy passing through the invincible barricade created around the mosque. Remember this is the largest mosque in Abuja and that it serves the entire central business district of the FCT on a day when all civil servants were at work.
In Islam self-effacement is the norm especially in your way to the mosque where all worshipers – from heads of state to ordinary people – stand before their Lord in the same row and declare Allaahu Akbar, Allah is the Greatest! Quite a number of honoured people, former this and that, who the unthinking may deem very ordinary because of their humility; such worshippers quietly left and saw no point in identifying themselves to security personnel whose demeanour was of combatants in a militarized zone.
The result of the presence of these assault troops was conspicuous inside the mosque as it was half full; or shall I say half empty. It was the first time in its close-to-three decades of existence that the National Mosque, Abuja was half full during Friday prayers. The beginning of a new era indeed!
During my turn to discharge my weekly function of translating the Khutbah, sermon from Arabic to English, by which time the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, the then Secretary of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, the IGP, Ringim and all (Muslim) ministers were already seated; I urged the privileged worshippers who made it to the mosque to kindly turn and see the scantiness of people in this hallowed place of worship. ‘You’ve made people park their cars miles away from the mosque;’ I said, ‘when they are used to parking them close to the mosque, thus providing further security of such vehicle due to the presence of other worshipers around. Now, with the cars far removed from the mosque premises their security is not guaranteed. Remember that among these worshipers are the aged, children and women who had to trek this long to come in here.’
I drew their attention to what was going on outside the mosque of excessive and humiliating search on people who were just approaching the mosque to observe the Friday prayers. I concluded my saying: ‘Whoever gave this order of harassing Muslims, subjecting them to demeaning search and scaring them away from the mosque should ask himself if this will make people to love their leaders or it will make them hate such leaders.’ I let the dignitaries know the implications of their actions and I reiterated that if we, the clergy, did not let them know these, Allah would ask us and that we would not be helping them that way.
After the Special Prayers for the inauguration of the new government of Jonathan and Sambo, the Chief Imam had to make the following remarks: ‘I wish to draw the attention of our brethren,’ said the Imam, ‘to the fact that the tight security around the mosque is a temporary operation. The officers have exceeded their bounds; nobody instructed them to drive away worshipers from the mosque. Let those who are present convey the message to those who could not come in today that next week there will not be any hindrance to access the mosque by anybody.’


Dr Mohammed Halliru Bello, PDP Acting National Chairman, was visibly upset, came to me when worshipers started dispersing and said: ‘Ustaz Siddeeq, why are you inciting the people against the government?’
This was a simple question that required an equally polite answer. At least in print it looks so, but the belligerence with which it was uttered, impossible to be reproduced in a prose, made me answer in like manner. ‘On the contrary sir,’ I said, ‘what I’ve said today is right in every letter. What I did was to call attention to what actually happened and to which everybody here is a witness.’
‘But what is wrong in having security around the mosque,’ retorted Dr Bello, ‘when you see security forces around the Holy Mosques of Makkah and Madinah? Imam’s remarks were better than yours; he was mild, not mischievous.’
Many people restrained me from further angry exchanges with the PDP Acting Chairman within the precincts of the mosque. I obeyed. But Dr Bello kept talking, went to the Chief Imam and made the same complaint, threatening to deal with me in the sense that the word is used in Nigeria when you desire to visit your vengeance upon someone, especially if you occupy a lofty position. As you shall see later, it seems he carried through his useless threat. Useless because only those who feed off people like him would hesitate to tell the truth where it concerned their principal. Those who collect gratification for selling Allah’s Words and their conscience are the only ones on whom threats like the one Bello made would make any impact.
The presence of security forces around the Two Holy Mosques, Dr Bello should’ve known, was for the safety of the multitude observing their devotions; they are not there to guard any froward potentate and product of flawed elections. There is no reason why people who claim to have been voted into power by the majority of Nigerians would be afraid of the electorate who gave them the mandate!
Outside the mosque I met the Executive Secretary of the National Mosque, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim Jega who said to me: ‘Ustaz, you’ve acted righty. You’ve exculpated us by this intervention otherwise people would’ve blamed us for allowing this build-up around the mosque. The Imam was also right in what he did; he acted like Abubakar, the first caliph; while you acted like Umar, the second………, ’
It is indeed ironic that, just a day after the incident at the National Mosque, during the Special Inauguration Inter-denominational Service, the National Christian Centre did not witness the heavy security presence visited upon the National Mosque in a similar ceremony. The Christian Centre was full to the brim; no vehicular hindrance; no worshiper was denied access. This is indeed the beginning of a new era!
Wallahi, by Allah, if what happened at the National Mosque that day were to be in a church the government would have formally apologised to the Christian community in Nigeria for the embarrassment meted on its faithful by security agencies around their places of worship. But with the Muslims, anything goes; and who cares?
The mosque has its aegis and sanctity which must be respected by all who come in to offer prayers. It is a place where truth is told to all regardless of status or rank. If leaders err they should be guided to their error so that they can amend such mistakes. The mosque should not be a place where those in authority come only to be placated, aggrandised and prayers are offered for their wellbeing and protection.
The corollary to the above threat by Dr Bello was stopping me from rendering the weekly khutbah from Arabic to English. The same Executive Secretary of the National Mosque who made the conscientious and fatherly statement as quoted above wrote an internal memo addressed to the Chief Imam to the effect that my services are no longer needed in translations of the khutbah because I went out of my way to discuss an issue that was not the object of the sermon. They are now looking for a replacement. There was an awkward interregnum in the mosque last Friday as I sat with other worshippers waiting for an English khutbah that never was. This disenfranchised all that do not speak Hausa and Igbo, let alone Arabic that day from getting the message of the khutbah.
Dr Bello and the PDP have more to do: instruct the LEADERSHIP Newspapers to close this column, stop my weekly radio and television programmes, or better still, arrest and lock me up for good. In that way this ‘little upstart’ will be silenced for most of the time the Power to the People has vowed to vote on our behalf! That is easy for PDP. Be whatever you want to be; a corrupt government official; be implicated in kickbacks and bribery scandals within Nigeria and beyond; do whatever you like, you will remain a saint and even occupy high position in the land provided you do not do what is displeasing to the largest party in Africa, otherwise, EFCC is there to do the dirty job!
To his credit, after the scene he made just a week earlier, Dr Bello Halliru Mohammed, PDP Acting National Chairman was the first to say salaam, Muslim greeting to me when he came into the mosque last Friday, 3rd June, 2011. He has proved to be better than me in line with a tradition of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. But some people who saw this salaam-rapprochement said it meant: Now that you are ‘fired’, how are you enjoying my requital? I did not see it from that angle. In my own defence, I did not see him enter the mosque as I was reading the Quran. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked up to see Dr. Bello gesturing a greeting with his arm poised in ‘ranka ya dade’ fashion. I returned the greeting, by the way.
I bear no grudge against anyone, for I know the origin of this decision. I was expecting it. My prayer is for Allah to recompense the services I have rendered as a volunteer, not receiving any wages in translating the khutbah for the past seventeen years. I trust Allah will keep rewarding me every Friday for I did not forsake that task on my own volition; I was hindered by the powers that be.
This reminds me to advise the new translator, whoever he may be, to discard any personal agenda or agenda by proxy to gain from translating the khutbah or to suppress telling the truth; damning the blame of any blamer. It is a new era like I said, a sad, dark and gloomy era!

Islam for Muslims / Re: Islamic Economics by talk2ahmed(m): 12:03pm On May 11, 2011
what you should have asked is what is responsible for the hypocrisy of Nigerian Muslims who would mouth "yes sharia" all the time but yet do not have a standard islamic financing option. With all the wealthy Muslims, north, south and central of Nigerians, there is no single islamic bank. There was once an over-bloated issue of Jaiz Bank, what do we make of it today?
Check it up the governor-elect of Nassarawa state is a multi-Billionaire, Multi billionaire, check it and that is just one in a million wealthy Nigerian Muslims
Politics / Agenda For Ajumobi by talk2ahmed(m): 7:37pm On May 04, 2011
** What party a man belong to doesnt matter, it is the works of his hands that matters
PDP OUT, ACN IN.
Alao Akala was an accidental governor and the worst leadership tragedy in the history of Oyo state. Beyond ACN's victory, we as conscientious citizens of Nigeria and the fulcrum on which the nation's progress rests must set an agenda for our leaders.
I call on all lovers of Oyo, indigines, settlers in Oyo and well wishers of this state to come together, melange ideas and set an agenda on issues that are most important for the proper development of the state. We may wish Oyo well, but not until we take part in the governance, we will be abdicating our responsibilities as pacesetters.

, this is what happens when authorities gloss over real issues. It is not enough to scream Jesus! Gawd! or Allah at the sight of these bodies alone. If anyone here could recall several years ago, the yelwan shendam massacre, then you will appreciate where this is coming from and where this may lead to. Similar things were common in kaduna, but thank God its no more. Why? because the government took honest, drastic and far reaching steps which included building small army units in every flash-point in the state capital.
Not just burnt bodies,
talk about displaced families,
children rudely orphaned by war,
anxiety and apathy,
business dislocation,
epidemic due to breakdown of infrastructure.
School?
Hospital congestion?
War is sour and its aftermath is sourer.
If a person kills for or on behalf of God,he must be made to face the law or else his children will inherit his diabolical ways. there is a report on the Jos thing right ? make it public and lets have it implemented. period!

Politics / Quran Burning Day; How Not To Be An Imbecille! by talk2ahmed(m): 11:43am On Sep 07, 2010
Insulting the tenets of Islam and ridiculing the statutes of Allah seem to be gaining prominence in this era of crass-disbelief in the Omnipotent. If you don’t know about the satanic verses of the accursed Salman Rushdie, the desecration of the holy sites in Jerusalem, the use of Quran as gun-practice target by Occupiers of Iraq, the washing down the lavatory of the glorious Quran, the ridiculing of prophet Muhammad, the peak of their hatred was exposed when the European magazines re-published the blasphemous cartoons of Prophet (saw) imitating the Danish daily, Jyllands-Posten and its backlash….then you definitely should have heard about the “BURN QURAN DAY” Sponsored by a buffoon of a man who thinks himself a libertarian.
After the permit to burn the Quran was turned down, a church in Gainesville, Florida that was organizing an “International Burn the Quran Day” on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York City In an e-mail sent to supporters, Pastor Terry Jones said “City of Gainesville denies burn permit – BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS”.
The forces that vilify Islam seem to be gaining an upper hand nowadays. Such fascist forces are finding a safe haven not only under the pretext of ‘freedom of expression' but implicitly being allowed to so by various governments. This indicates the declined state of the Muslims. Respecting the Prophet (saw) more than their lives is an inseparable part of Muslims Iman. Muslims must stand up to protect the honour of Prophet (saw) and not be passive bystanders.
"O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your deen (Pagans, Jews, Christians, Mushriks and Hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand." [Q 3:118]
In their competition for hatred the American army flushed the noble Quran in the toilets in Afghanistan. In Netherlands Geert Wilders a degenerate parliamentarian contributed to this crusade by attacking the noble Quran by his movie entitled ‘Fitna'. The western world is least ashamed of engaging in such cheap campaigns to malign Islam.
Under the guise of the false notion of ‘freedom of expression' they aim to defame Islam and make it synonymous with terrorism and want to portray our beloved messenger, Muhammad (saw) as the Prophet of terror. This is part of the global ‘war on terror' which any thinking person knows is in reality a war against Islam.
Allah (swt) says:

"The prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and his wives are their (believers) mothers." [Q 33:6]
Anas (ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"None of you would be considered a believer until I become more beloved to him than his family, wealth and all the people."
In the past whenever such cheap acts of vilifying Islam were attempted they were critically defeated in their attempts by the powerful Islamic leadership. George Bernard Shaw, the famous British writer said in 1913 that he was stopped from writing blasphemous article about our noble Prophet (saw) by Lord Chamberlin. Chamberlin was afraid of the repercussions from the Islamic Khilafah state. Twenty years prior to the destruction of the Khilafah, a play based on the writings of Voltaire was being staged in France and Britain titled "Mohammad or Fanaticism", deriding the character of the Prophet (saw) due to his marriage to Zainab (ra). When the Khalifah (Sultan Abdul Hamid II) was informed of the play, his ambassador to France warned the government of the serious political repercussions which would follow if it was continued. France promptly stopped the play, so the group went to England. When the same warning was issued to England, the reply was that the tickets were sold out, and banning the play would be an infringement on the freedom of its citizens. So the following edict was issued by the Sultan, saying in clear terms: "I will issue an edict to the Islamic Ummah declaring that Britain is attacking and insulting our Prophet. I will declare Jihad, " Upon receiving this ultimatum, the claim for freedom of speech was forgotten, and the performance quickly stopped. History bears testimony to the justice of Islam under which Muslim and non-Muslim lived in harmony for hundreds of years.
What we have to point out here however is that apart from being a perpetual drunk, the proponent of this idea of Quran Burning may have to be told that in every major language of the world, there are at least three thousand persons who have perfect mastery of the Quran; word for word, alphabet for alphabet and punctuation for punctuation. In case he doesn’t know, China has some hundreds of Uyghur who have the entire Quran memorized, India boasts of nearly ten thousands reciters of the glorious Quran…so what can you say about the millions of Arabs, Africans and Europeans, Aboriginals, Swedes who have perfect rendition of the Quran upstairs? This guy must be imbecilic not to have known that the Quran that exist today in soft copies outnumber the Physical Quran you find here and there. What is more? There is hardly any Muslim in the city of New-York, Canada or United Kingdom who doesn’t have the Quran in his PDA, Mobile phones or on his digital devices. Will he call for the burning of all these too? We are not surprised considering the fact that he is an unrepentant gay and therefore a misfit in the society.

"The prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and his wives are their (believers) mothers." [Q 33:6]
Anas (ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"None of you would be considered a believer until I become more beloved to him than his family, wealth and all the people."
In the past whenever such cheap acts of vilifying Islam were attempted they were critically defeated in their attempts by the powerful Islamic leadership. George Bernard Shaw, the famous British writer said in 1913 that he was stopped from writing blasphemous article about our noble Prophet (saw) by Lord Chamberlin. Chamberlin was afraid of the repercussions from the Islamic Khilafah state. Twenty years prior to the destruction of the Khilafah, a play based on the writings of Voltaire was being staged in France and Britain titled "Mohammad or Fanaticism", deriding the character of the Prophet (saw) due to his marriage to Zainab (ra). When the Khalifah (Sultan Abdul Hamid II) was informed of the play, his ambassador to France warned the government of the serious political repercussions which would follow if it was continued. France promptly stopped the play, so the group went to England. When the same warning was issued to England, the reply was that the tickets were sold out, and banning the play would be an infringement on the freedom of its citizens. So the following edict was issued by the Sultan, saying in clear terms: "I will issue an edict to the Islamic Ummah declaring that Britain is attacking and insulting our Prophet. I will declare Jihad, " Upon receiving this ultimatum, the claim for freedom of speech was forgotten, and the performance quickly stopped. History bears testimony to the justice of Islam under which Muslim and non-Muslim lived in harmony for hundreds of years.
What we have to point out here however is that apart from being a perpetual drunk, the proponent of this idea of Quran Burning may have to be told that in every major language of the world, there are at least three thousand persons who have perfect mastery of the Quran; word for word, alphabet for alphabet and punctuation for punctuation. In case he doesn’t know, China has some hundreds of Uyghur who have the entire Quran memorized, India boasts of nearly ten thousands reciters of the glorious Quran…so what can you say about the millions of Arabs, Africans and Europeans, Aboriginals, Swedes who have perfect rendition of the Quran upstairs? This guy must be imbecilic not to have known that the Quran that exist today in soft copies outnumber the Physical Quran you find here and there. What is more? There is hardly any Muslim in the city of New-York, Canada or United Kingdom who doesn’t have the Quran in his PDA, Mobile phones or on his digital devices. Will he call for the burning of all these too? We are not surprised considering the fact that he is an unrepentant gay and therefore a misfit in the society.
