Why Are Imams/alfas Not Having Private Jets In Nigeria by ffo(m): 4:43pm On Nov 12, 2012
I have been wondering & pondering on this for some time. I wonder why imam/Alfas don't own private jets in Nigeria just as some of their Christian counterparts flies different types. Can somebody explain why? Or could it be that Muslims dont take care of their Imams/Alfas like Christians?

What do you mean by 'take care of'?

In Islam, Muslims are not under any obligation to provide the every need of their Imams and the Imams are not prohibited from working and earning money to take care of themselves because they are Imams.

Imams should also work to cater for themselves and their families and not just sit down and expect their congregation to provide for them. If the congregation voluntarily decides to give any type of material gifts to the Imam, then well and good, nothing is wrong with that, but they are not under compulsion to do that.

By the way, most of these pastors who you claim that Christians 'take care of' are actually thieves and fraudsters. They demand tithes (which Christians are not supposed to pay) and other dues from the members of their churches and enrich themselves from the cash gotten this way. It is not as if church members love their pastors soooo much and therefore decide to take care of them by buying them things.
No.
Many pastors get rich by extorting money from their church members.

Hope this answers your question. wink

You are allowing these people get under your skin. We don't use the type of language that they are known for and we don't "describe" their leaders
