ollah1:


Do u have to judge what's right for him or not? By your logic, it's a pity for anybody who doesn't die as a Christian? What about sinners that died as a Christian?

You were boldly told not to judge yet u wrote an epistle judging him or other Muslims.

Religious bigot


If the bible say as difficult it seems for a camel to enter the hole of a needle that is how difficult to make heaven

That the kingdom of God suffereth violence and violence takes it by force.

Furthermore it also said no one is righteous not a single person.

So can the person you quoted tell us the assurance that he himself will make heaven or has he seen anybody that just returned from heaven?

@ Delta Oil, almighty Allah promised all Muslims paradise while Muhammed also confirmed it, in fact most of suras in qurian Allah mentioned reward for the believers & punishment for unbelievers, so stop quoting what you don't know, may God forgive you.

Muhammed Ali was really a spotting icon, and fought for black people!

It's a pity he died as a moslem.
As we all know that Mohammed himself said he does not know what will happen to
both he himself "mohammed" & his followers, hence they won't make heaven.

Sura 46:9
"I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH
This is what the chapter says:
Say: "I am no new thing among the messengers (of Allah), nor know I what will be done with me or with you. I do but follow that which is inspired in me, and I am but a plain warner"
Pls, don't quote out of context in order to mislead people
here. You've not been to heaven to know what religion will be accepted.
There are many places where Almighty Allah promise the last of the prophet Muhammad SAW and believers aljananat firdauos. It will be better for you and me not to condemn others and learn to tolerate ourselves especially on religious matters on the social media.

If he had died as a Christian he would have the promise of salvation that moahmmed did not have nor his following muslims


Mark 16:16 (KJV)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Jesus went to heaven in the view of people, unlike mohammed that is dead and buried

Act 1
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven
mr delta oil uve certainly got issues here. U re wishing he was a christian, does that matter to u. All I know is that he's better off.

VocalWalls:
I may not have been a fan of boxing, and I surely wouldn't have thought i will write a piece about something related, well, yeah i am not, however, I am putting this down in honor of a true legend, Muhammad Ali, the man that taught me resilience.

Watching from the screen in our sitting room, i would often see a man who got knocked down repeatedly, yet he never gave up. At a very young age, i realized it was not just over, being on the ground. Before i learned from Ali, I would always thing it's best for a man knocked down to stay on the ground, but now, I realized even the ground is not enough to stop a motivated man, this was my first life's lesson, from Ali.

In honor of him, I'll be listing 5 things about Muhammad Ali you probably never knew about...

1. Ali Changed His Name More Than Once

According to his biographer, Davis Miller, 

"The legend is known that when a young Kentucky-born Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam his name was immediately changed to the now iconic Muhammad Ali," Miller says. "But few know that his first name change was to Cassius X.

"It was February 26, 1964 -- the morning after he knocked out Sonny Liston. But nearly two weeks later, on March 6, he announced that religious and political leader Elijah Muhammad (who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death in 1975) had given him the new name of Muhammad Ali."

2. He Is A Sufi

"Ali announced that he is a Sufi around 2005, saying that of all of the sects of Islam, he feels the closest connection to Sufism," says Miller, whose book "Approaching Ali" was released in late 2015. "Sufism is arguably the most peaceful sect of any major or minor religion. Sufis believe that to purposely harm any person is to harm all of humanity, to harm each of us and to damage the world.

"It is the perfect fit for Ali, who had been living in the ways that Sufis do for decades before he'd heard of the religion. "Few people have heard about the profound ways Ali's faith has evolved over the years. He has been a world soul for many decades; he has grown from separatist to universalist."

3. He Fought While Injured

"Ali had only six weeks to prepare for this contest," Miller says. "In training, his boyhood friend and former heavyweight champion Jimmy Ellis badly fractured one of Ali's ribs.

"Even with this injury, Ali did not reschedule the fight, being entirely uncertain that if he did, he would ever get the chance to fight again."

4.  Parkinson's disease has taught him new ways to communicate

"The art of the gesture is quite important to him," Miller says of Ali, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1984 at the age of 42. "He communicates with his hands and fingers, his facial features, his eyes.

"He surprises visitors by making a sound with his thumb and index finger that's not unlike a cricket in your ear. He blows on the top of heads, tickles the inside of palms when he shakes hands, teasing almost everyone who visits him.

"Though he can walk, Ali is often seen sitting in a wheelchair or positioned in an easy chair. He is no longer the world's most vocal and irrepressibly animated person."

5.  He's an amateur magician

"Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see."

Famous for his pre-fight proto rap rhymes, Ali had some other dazzling tricks. "Until recently, throughout his years with Parkinson's disease, Ali surprised visitors by performing prestidigitations (sleight of hand tricks)," Miller says.

"He made a red silk scarf disappear from his hand, he bit coins in half and made them whole again, and he often performed an old parlor trick -- by putting his feet together and rising up on the toes of one foot while keeping his other foot flexed, he could appear to float above the ground."

Chai I tire for some people oooo. You want to know something more than the owner. You just pulled 1 verse from a whole chapter and manipulate it into something else. Usually I don't always answer people like you. But i think you need a little lecture on how to quote the Quran. Firstly that surah (al-ahqaf) was talking about the disbelievers on the judgment day. That was never the saying of the prophet.

Next time before you quote ignorantly. Always read 5 verses before the one you are trying to quote so that you can understand what the whole chapter means. Why not take the liberty of reading surah 46: 1-12. Maybe you can get the full gist. I can help with a link.



http://quran.com/46/6-12

Only quote me when you have read, comprehend and digest that verse. Se you hear me.
thankGod he wrote it on naira land if not by now heads would be rolling to appease the god that sends his worshippers to kill his blasphemers.... Thank God for JESUS CHRIST

For those who may want to take this dude seriously....
I am not a new thing among the messengers... i am not the first messenger who ever came to the world. Rather, Messengers came before me.Therefore, i am not an unprecedented event that should cause you all to reject me and doubt my being sent to you. Indeed, Allah has sent before me prophets to various nations( including Jesus whom we believe in).....
Nor do i know what will be done to me or to you.... even though i am Allah's messenger, i cannot declare that a specific person will enter Pardise..... apart from the ten that was revealed by Allah himself ( for i do not know people do in secret)
Qur'an's sayings are in parables that are only clear to the wise and those who have pure hearts.… There's something called Qur'an tafsir, you know....there's a story behind almost every verse as it was revealed in bits according to occurences of those times in order to warn and teach people of coming generation as it is applicable to those generations, this and beyond. My dear..don't be gullible.. Ask questions about things that are not clear so you do not belong to one of the strayed sheep.
Nevertheless, Allah has promised Paradise for those who serve Him ALONE and hell for the transgressors in various surahs(chapters). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also taught us some things to do in order to earn Allah's pleasure and things to do in order to evade his wrath
Thus,in Muhammad Ali's voice..…*We know where we are going and we know the truth.....*
May Allah guide you to the Right Path

And you saw anywhere in my comment where I was calling for his head? He was wrong and all I did was correct him with facts without being offensive. Somehow you still find a way to turn it to something else. You are what is wrong with religion. Like I said earlier. If you can't comprehend don't quote.

But if allah cannot save muhammed , how can allah save anybody then?
Mohammed himself said has no idea of his destination.

Sura 46:9
"I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)."




How can that be an honour when you cannot make heaven?

If mohammed was a prophet, he will know that he would go to heaven,
but he confessed that he does not know.

Unlike Jesus that promises heaven to all who believe in Him.

Mark 16:16 (KJV)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

So guys why follow mohammed that is dead and not in heaven,
With Jesus you are promised heaven and Jesus is ALIVE.

Now why follow the dead when there is the Living?

All you fanatics should shut up cos you don't decide your religion. Your religion is hugely influenced by your Parent's. I'm a Christian today cos my Parents are Christians and i was feed with the words from the Bible as early as I was old enough to understand. It would have being the same if my Parents were Muslims or Buddhists.
The most important thing is to serve you God no matter the religion you find yourself cos that's something you can't decide by yourself.
