My cousin applied law in this year's jamb and also wrote the post utme exams but unfortunately her name was not released and she took the supplementary form and the staff at the school's admission unit told her she will be admitted to study Islamic Studies.
But this girl is a devoted born again Christian and since the doctrines of Islam and that of Christianity are in direct contradiction as it might affect her walk with the Lord. She requests for advice.
Should she take up the course as she has been home now for 3 years due to lack of admission, and she says she cant stay home any longer.
She needs your advice please

Is it compulsory to go to the University? I am more concerned with where she will find employment about school? Cos of the over hype given to university education, people will consider studying anything to get a university degree!

1.She got to pray! Remember the first comandment as a christian, we shouldn't worship any other God.
2. The surety of employment with that course, is not guarrantee- not generally need!.
3. It may be a test from God.
4. If she insist let her it's her choice and she may change it with gud cgpa

hmmm yeah but a course like islamic studies, she could take up a teaching or lecturing job or start as a Graduate Assistant at the dept she graduated. Employment in such courses are not so hard to come by

I really wouldn't worry about it. I have studied Islam, read the Quran along with hundreds of the hadiths and large parts of the tafsir and sirah. There is much to criticise in this religion, and a little internet research goes a long way. I've also studied other religions extensively. None of it has affected my position as an atheist in the slightest. If she is truly convinced of her Christianity then studying Islam isn't going to change anything.

ProphetUdeme:

That means she will need further schooling (Masters degree) to retain her job, that's if she gets it in the first place. Cos not everyone who graduates from that department will be lecturers.

No muslim will want a christian to be their Islamic studies lecturer. Its an abomination to them and she'll get killed one day.

From choosing Law to contemplating Islamic studies ! Your cousin paints a picture of the typical Nigerian youth who just craves a University degree even if it's BSc in garri drinking. I doubt if she'll even make it into Law school or manage to graduate from one if she had passed the Post-UTME.

Why the rush into University by the way ? She can learn one of these important skills: Tailoring a.k.a Fashion Designing, Hair Dressing, Event planning e.t.c while waiting to retake the exam next year for Law. She might end up earning her paychecks from the above skills than that paper certificate.

A fellow in our church converted to Islam after exposing himself indiscriminately to the Quran. Paul admonished the believers that evil communication corrupts good manners. Taking up Islamic studies as a course implies embracing it with openness of heart and admiration, if she indeed wants to be relevant in it thereafter. Studying to master a course is different from studying to counter a course. A friend said he converted to Christianity having studied the bible with a sinister intention -to critique it's correctness- from Islam. It takes a mature and die -hard believer to go to the gates of hell and rescue the captives thereat. But for your sister, hell no. In fact, it's gonna be a disappointment to heaven if she falls for such a minor trial. It's the last days when acquisition is over-rated. I've never been to a university yet I've assisted undergraduates a few times. I teach in a high school and have made money from the profession. My students esteem me highly, whereas my fame has been quite unrestrained. I can't imagine Paul or Peter or Christ, whose footsteps we follow, submit themselves to such alternative. We're to reach out to the lost wisely..'others save with FEAR hating even the garment spotted with the flesh..' Plus, 'he that is an heretic reject after the first and second admonition'.. So you see, there's no biblical full-time business of teaching *infidels the scriptures not to talk of teaching them what we know is shocking blasphemy.. REED is my name

Serious. But she should not take it. Aba! It makes no sense. She is a girl had it been she is a guy it would have been better cos along the way she will convert her Faith and you know girls have flexible heart. Tell her to postpone her admission stuff till coming year. Because all things work together for good to those that love God.

lalasticlala abeg help me put voice. Thanks

Let her go ahead....make she sef com write Qu'ranic bible for us

Rubbish.....

University degree is overrated, what are her chances of getting a job??. I'd advise her to stay at home than take that course. When its time she must surely get admission.

Your own god is now the devil the tester abi? My own GOD doesn't test people.

@op, this is no brainer. What job can she get with islamic studies?

What's the point of acquiring a certificate you will never use especially one that goes against your belief. She should be patient, she will get a better course. Even moslems to go to university to study islamic studies these days.
