As a muslim, Islam taught us to say Alhamdulilah, meaning praise be to Allah. Beautiful.

If you're quick to criticize without holding your animosity because you wasn't the one that post, you must at least be smart enough to know that the GIF probably came from "iamforevernigeria.com". It's inscribe on it.

golamike: I always wonder if "bless you" are the right words to say to an individual who sneezes around you. I don't know if it's a Nigerian thing or it's universal. Most of the time, i just keep quiet rather than say "bless you" because i'm not comfortable using those words. I don't know if i'm the only one who thinks those words are not really suitable for that situation. Please, does anyone think like me?? Which word(s) do you consider more appropriate??

I say 'Bless you' as well, 'Salud' to Hispanics. Why would anyone keep quiet when a person sneezes around them? That's not nice.

"Take care" is d appropriate word to say.

soledayo:
All these because someone sneezed. May God have mercy. If the person then defecate beside u. wetin go happen.
What u fail to understand is this:
in a normal person not suffering from body reflect action failure, sneezing has to come if any foreign body are found in your mucosal lining of your nasal cavity or any airway lining within ur skull.
if these foreign body are not eliminated,it may serve as the source of germination or spreading to the host tissue ,though ur immunity has to play here.
examples are air borne diseases like PTB etc.
now ,tell me dude! will u not thank GOD if these foreign body are removed from ur body.
or try to lock uself in a dusty room and pray for sneezing to not come to see d importance of sneezing.

I can't see how releazing influenza, flu, possibly SARS and other dangerous viruses into the air can be mercy or blessing of any god. If you find yourself nearby, just cover your nose and mouth with a clean handkerchief; and the sneezer should learn to use hanky too. Elementary health science.

All this just because you've not seen the scientific proof that has confirm the 'real mercy' it serves to the health.....
weather you like or not, sneezing is good for the health; thus Mercy from Allah cos He alone initiate the act.

In Norway we use "prosit" which is some sort of latin word for wishing good health.

People say bless u after sneezing cos the heart stops for millisecond during sneezing.
On the contrary......
By Dr. Micheal Roizen
Holding in a sneeze is like holding down the top of a jack-in-the-box. Why not just let it out? The air expelled by sneezes is said to travel up to 100 miles per hour; holding in a sneeze could cause fractures in the nasal cartilage, nosebleeds, burst eardrums, hearing loss, vertigo or detached retinas. Therefore it is best to let your sneeze fly (yet shielded by a hankie, preferably).

Plus, your body is trying to clear out your pharynx-and that's a good thing. To help the sneeze come out, look at a bright light. This stimulates the optic nerve, which crosses wires with the sneeze center. The added irritation of an adjacent nerve will get the sneeze going.
