Buddie wink

If you go to earlier pages on this thread you would see i clarified the position on this when IFY asked a question about permissibility of killings in islam.

I would try to dig out the page and paste it again but in the mean time. Killing is permitted as a capital punishment after conviciton by a court. By a court i mean full judicial process and if the suspect is found guilty then he his no longer innocent and capital punsihment is permissible if that is the punishment for the crime e.g murder.

Killing is also inevitable during war and by war i dont mean bombings of innocents on the train etc. I mean real war.

No one is allowed to take laws into his hands in islam and even if your family was murdered you cannot go on a killing spree there has to be conviction by a court before punishment could be meted out to the murderer. Islam does not permit us to act on impulse.

I hope you get the gist.
Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by illusion2: 1:35pm On Jan 04, 2011
Very clear. Then you need to stop saying 'unjust killing' 'killing of innocents' etc

Because anyone can claim he/she has determined the other party is 'guilty' and hence killing that person is justifiable .

I'm sure you catch my drift.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-359506.0.html

Check out page one and two .

Oh yeah i get what you mean. The qualification of who is innocent or guilty is by a court and not on impulse. Caliph Umar once peeped through the window and found some people drinking alcohol but he was handicapped in dishing out punishment. This was because firstly, he broke the law himself by peeping through the window and invading into their privacy.

Umar could not act on impulse as this is not our faith, there is a due process which we have to follow and Umar had to even provide other witnesses to butress his prosecution.

To conclude, islam recommends the husband to repel the radical and fight him in order to protect his family and belongings.

And God knows best

Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by Jarus(m): 11:35am On Jan 10, 2011
@Uplawal,
Let's thread softly pls.
There is nothing wrong in asking questions. In fact, books can sometimes be misleading, especially for someone who is new to the religion. What if she buys a book by a misguided sect presented as true Islam, and goes ahead to follow the 'misteachings' in that book. Also, even hadith books require scholarly interpretatiosn sometimes. I can remember buying and reading a book by one of the deviant sects, but due to teh fact that I had some basic knowledge about the puritan Islam before, I was able to decipher that the teachings in that book was not totally right.

So it's always good to compare notes and ask questions, in addition to reading oneself.

Sister, A muslim that takes his knowledge from books without a teacher or guide would end up having Shaiytan as his/her teacher. yesterday you said hadith is bad , today you are recommending someone to buy vol 1 -9 of which hadith book?

Family planning and contraception is not a basic thing my dear sister, it is infact a very complex issue and it is this simplistic attitide to the knowledge of islam that misleads loads of muslim. Myself and bro Muhsin have begged to discuss with you privately but or even here but you tactically ignore and i have since chosen not to bother myslef as one can only benefit or benfit from a willing heart.

Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by Lagosboy: 5:05pm On Jan 10, 2011
Abortion according to scholars is only ever permitted if the health of the mother is at risk . This issue is non negotiable in islam, however there are differences in when abortion is deemed as "abortion". By that i mean if the pregnancy is just one week and the thing is still just blood and not formulated. Some scholars regard termination at that stage as not abortion. There are few technicalities regarding that, and i dont want to confuse us with this except you would like to probe further.

Secondly, birth control and family planning is largely allowed and permissible in islam. The reasons for this range from spacing of children to protect a womans health, enabling full suckling of a child for up to two years like the quran prescribes. Most  birth control method are permitted in islam except the permanent sterilization which is also overuled if is done for health reasons. Methods like condom and the withdrawal method should be done with mutual agreement between the two parties, as the satisfaction of the woman is very important in which case she has the right to turn down the use of condom/withdrawal by her husband if it affects her sexual pleasure negatively.

Having said all of the above, we should note that whatever will be will be and if Allah decrees a baby no matter the amont of contraception the baby shall be concieved. Such was the case when some men asked the prophet  PBUH about the withdrawal method and he did not condemn it, instead he said approved it but said the decree of Allah could not be prevented.

The quran in 17 v 31 said "dont kill your children for fear of poverty" , some scholars have prohibited use of contraceptive to prevent child birth for economic reasons based on this verse and some have said this verse actually refers to an already born child. By and large, the fear of poverty should not prevent us from having children as our sustainance is never in our hands but the hands of the almighty and every child comes with his or her own rizq. Nevertheless , we should also use our intellect and intelligence as regards birth control as economic factor is not the only issue with children but the psycological ability of the parents to rear them, the time and attention they require etc.

I hope i have briefly introduced this topic and the discusssion is open for all to contribute to please.

And God knows best

@uplawal,
I have been away from nairaland for long,

I have read your replies to the posts and how you started the conflicts. My first reaction is to lambast you for being rude, but I think it is best to let you know that you are wrong and your conduct is not islamic at all, I observed that Ify is not even replying you with harsh tones, this show that she mean well and want peace, whaever apology you may have rendered, cannot remove the fact that your words created the conflicts,

insulting people who ask simple questions is not in Islamic teaching,,, there are lot of examples in the hadith where people have come to ask even unreasonable questions and teh prophet told the companion to always be polite.

I think right thinking people should stop wasting time repling insults. As i used to say, IT IS USELESS TELLING THE DEAF THAT THE MARKET IS ABOUT TO CLOSE. WHEN THE MARKET IS EMPTY, HE WILL PACK HIS WARE AND GO HOME. Why must you guys even bother to reply? Guys, we dont need to reply all insults. the diffrence between kids and adults is that kids reply everything.Adult know when to ignore kids that are throwing tantrum.

Peace, be still.

Wouldn't you sheath the sword and let the bygones be bygones. I, for once, read all the deleted and the present replies yesterday night. There is nothing that worrying if yours--meaning replies, are left or deleted as it doesn't make much difference. Wouldn't we behave like the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, and his Companions? What is the meaning of reading about them; it's of course primarily to learn from them, emulate them and do as such.

May Allah, the Exalted, guide us all to the right path, amin.

BTW, Haven't you seen this: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-580613.0.html I assume you must have; why then you are yet to indulge me, Sister? Why and why? Please I beseech you to come up there. I got only some few days to leave this board for the INEC exercise, which is gonna last for at least two weeks. Hence it's either now or probably never. Understand? Thank you very much.

Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by Nobody: 2:34pm On Jan 11, 2011
@Mukina,everyone that sees you here trying to defend your statement would think i actually insulted Davids mum,but its just one of the ways evil people like you find to mud peoples names,I could really remember  the thread,its "black man and his Allah",in this thread,someone was irritated at the way Osisi insulted someones mother,while David was hellbent trying to justify what Osisi did as commendable,he was supporting Osisi for insulting someones mum,and i disliked it,as well as everyone, so i replied to David saying"Davidlyan is an hypocrite,am sure his wife beats his mum thats why He sees nothing bad in Osisi Insulting someone mum,

Pls could anyone in his or right sense judge this as insult?only if you want to be biased.

On the same thread,a lady called thiefofheart insulted me,she actually was the first person to call my mum deranged(i reject it though in the name of Allah) and Ashewo all cos i was supporting Abuzola and she said i should learn from you cos someone insulted your mum you dnt retaliate,so i should learn from you not to deal with whoever insult my mum like you did,never will i keep quiet when my mum is insultedand to me its evil for anyone to insult anyones mum,not even my mum,i cant claim to be better muslim like you to have the insulter of my mum to go free,i would rather insult the persons mum back,and which i did,i cursed her mum back,cos am not omoode like some people,so anyone should come here now to tell me insulting her back is mannerless,i dnt care whatever anyone say really cos mio kin she omo lole lo gbesi wa,instantly i would give you your dose.dnt really care to reply you though,but just to clear myself from your evil plan.

@Muhsin,why would you say it makes no diffrence leaving some and deleting some,why dont they just leave all or delete all,very biased people

I am sorry to take you back but I noticed what Hymen said earlier about how Lagosboy was just responding to some issues which she as a non-Muslim thought he would be afraid to answer; this is a very popular misconception about Islam and Muslims. This is the summary:

"Muslims can't be fun or practical, they are just a bunch of brainwashed dumdums." Lagosboy is doing an excellent job of dispelling that myth and May Almighty Allah bless him abundantly in this world and the hereafter, the same goes for us his brothers and sisters.
