^^U never treated what I posted

Ask whoever raised the point.

Someone was talking about islamic states in nigeria being wretched. Have u ever visited imo, akwa ibom, bayelsa to mention few? U will close ur eyes in shame when u visit those places. Their capital cities can't stand ikorodu of lagos. I believe nysc is still a scheme in nigeria because of places like bayelsa. I served there. Corpers dominate their schools. The children's education below 2%.They know absolutely nothing. Go there and ask how they pass waec. Ask jonathan to tell u the truth on how he passed his waec.

50,000 errors in bible! CHECK IT OUT,

garbage

INTERESTING! Lagosshia closes every thread on frosbel with references. I can't help frosbel but lol @ him.

@mod. we really missed your absence. Alhamdulilah, it was successful. May Allah reward us all. @habooza, Seen

@Haboosa, salam alaik, kindly drop me some lines on FB. I would to have a discussion with you concerning one of the vital points raised yesterday. Willing to hear more from u.

Ma sala

W salam warahmatulah. In my own opinion, having a wet dream in the while Ramadan fast is on doesn't invalidate the fast since it is beyond one's control. All that is needed is to take ghusl in order to continue with prayers. Many fatawa have been passed on this and that is the conclusive stand. Walahu a'lam

50,000 errors in bible, Is bible God's word? Ahmed Deedat, Google it out. Lolllllllllz

This question is fundamental to christianity, yet, they are found on the island,

^^Have mercy on that boi na. Lolllllllllllz

^^u can do better next time. I believe my questions are clear enough for a pry 1 pupil to understand.

Jesus is not my saviour, not my lord, even Jesus detested all these criminal utterances.
U can do better next time. Give me the answer: who gave u the idea to close ur eyes, to bang the wall, to stamp the floor to do all manners of silly things in the name of prayer?. Am sure u do it be
cause ur dad, mum, pastor etc do it. Have u ever questioned them y? Have u ever opened ur book and confirm where God said it is the way of worship?!

davidylan:
typical behaviour from allah and mohammad. Curse those who expose their deceit. You never hear words of hope, peace, mercy and love from islam.

have u have just demonstrated peace, mercy and love. your actions on NL is bliblical. i wonder how many people xtian jesus will kick away while trying to hold his leg on the last day

you gonna love this. all islamic critics!

manakeagie:
Most times people close their eyes while praying because they want to concentrate but there is no problem with praying while your eyes are open, and some times its respect to the Most High God

what about shouting and stampeding? is that scriptural or invented by some men? are they parts of the respect?

lepasharon:
why do muslims bow down to the kaaba? or is allah just in the east?dummy

tell ur pastor to give u details about Abraham mode of worship without telling u lies.

Strides:
@post, The God we serve is an unpredictable, mysterious God whose ways are unsearchable, so there is no doubt if his children who are conformed to his image are like him. And as for prayers, bear in mind that it is not only wen we close our eyes. We pray everywhere, everytime, anytime in our heart to our God who searches our heart. We close our to concentrate, our prayer is a 2 way thing, talking to our father and receiving from him, infact we communicate with our God. Needless to continue cause the God of this world has blindfolded the eyes and minds of people like you, that is why u cant recognize the truth wen u see it . Finally u can never predict the ways of a spirit filled child of God cause like the Bible rightly put it, he is like a wind that blows, you cant see it, u can only feel it. And its impossible to tell where it is coming 4rm and where it is going.

in conclusion?

^^You can't use question to ask question here. If you don't have answer, accept it and if you know that it is wrong then, move away and accept islam.

Answer the question straightforward or u take the back seat!

^ordered by who? Is there any distraction banging tables, stamping d floor because of prayer? What about those that say rubbish unintelligible language, aren't they distractions?

Did jesus ask you to close your eyes or you all obey someone else discretion?

Are cofo and frosbel answers sufficient for those that nonsense while praying?

Does it answer d reason why some pray bare-footed while some with hilly shoes, mini skirts?

I don't want to believe that no christian can tell me when they pray eyes closed. Sorry, it's not funny. I need answers now now. Does it mean they close eyes because their pastor does that. Even if pastor prays in nude they will pray in nude. I can't believe the answers am getting.

Where are u pastors!!!

Not funny dear. When u lie, u know that u lie, that shouldn't make u happy but make u sad. There is no gainsay in d fact that christians don't have a particular mode of worship which implies if a church stands up one day and worship nudity will be allowed.

No christian denomination can worship in another church. This is disgusting and appalling.

Which denomination will even enter d kingdom of God without unity. Pls get a mode of worship and leave muslims in their perfect, conformed and divinely acceptable mode of worship which jesus, moses, abraham etc did.

You have really derailed from d divine thread!

^^ if u like explain jesus from now till next year, u can't provide detailed and logical information about jesus better than Quranic presentation. The answer to the question will make me happier! Gotten?

Why doesn't christianity have a general way of worship. U guys accuse muslims that have conformity in where we face, how we worship and not minding the dirts in ur noses. It's either u provide answer to that question or believe that christianity does not ve a reasonable mode of worship

^^u can't create thread for that. Pls don't derail. It's either u have answer to the question @ hand or u keep shut

^^ In addition ungodly dresses, pastors looking at choir girls, men-women sitting together, lol.

If it were to get rid of distractions, learn that from the muslims. Prophet Muhammad taught muslims how to do things with perfection. Closing eyes doesn't solve the distraction problems.

Pls I need the hidden reason why some close eyes and some arrogantly beat table as if the christian god is deaf.

Another question is why do christians shout that the whole church would turn to a national theater or a football stadium?

^^ what about those that bang the table? Did jesus pray in these manners?

esus never preached trinity, he preached oneness of God, anyone that preaches oneness of God is a muslim, therefore jesus was a muslim. Gbam!

Is it because you don't want to witness the descension of angels that will take away your prayers or jesus did that when he was alive. Is it even written in the bible? or someone somewhere introduced it. Why do you see some christians leaning while praying while some arrongantly stand. Confusion in the christian mode of praying.

Waiting for abuses and bad replies

Alhamdulilah. I will make it this time in sha Allah

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the universe. May His peace
and blessings be upon the noble Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him),
his faithful companions and dutiful followers till the end of time,
amin.
The Muslim Congress (TMC) joins other sister Islamic organisations,
civil societies and advocates of ethical finance to educate Nigerians
and also condemn the diabolical campaigns from few overzealous
Christian groups and anti-Islamic media, against the planned
introduction of Non-interest/Islamic Banking in Nigeria. It is
strange, that these ill-timed campaigns are coming from religious
groups, who ideally should be spreading morals, ethical businesses,
engendering divine principles and winning souls for God in a perverted
society. Despite all odds, we are happy at the informed comments on
the matter by eminent scholars like Dr. Ishaq Lakin Akintola of MURIC,
Mr. Kamor Disu of MPAC, Dr. AbdulLateef Adegbite (CON),
Secretary-General, Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs
(NSCIA). We also salute the efforts the former Governor of the Central
Bank of Nigeria, Professor Charles Soludo, had invested on Islamic
Banking Model in Nigeria. May Allah reward
you all contributors abundantly.
The series of campaigns against Non-interest/Islamic Banking are
pre-planned and organised by coalition of anti-Islamic forces to
humiliate Islam and blackmail Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current CBN
Governor. Alhamdulillah, the Governor vindicated himself and the Apex
body he presides over by coming up at the peak of the criticism with a
Revised Framework for the regulation and supervision of institutions
offering non-interest financial services in Nigeria. The sponsors of
the campaigns believe that it is time to marginalise Muslims; to deny
them their rights and demonise anything with Islamic colouration since
they have their own - Dr. Jonathan Goodluck, a brother-in-faith in
power.
The first attack on non-interest banking emanated from a Christian NGO
with some fire-brand pastors as advocates; they hinged their arguments
for opposing Islamic banking on what they called “illegal redefinition
of non-interest banking, introduction of religion into banking,
unconstitutional exclusion of non-Muslims from non-interest banking
and major contravention of the Nigerian Constitution. In our opinions,
the arguments of these overzealous elements are weak and dangerous in
volatile multi-religious society like Nigeria. Islamic banking is not
being smuggled into Nigeria; it is a working model in all advanced
democracies, including America!
The second ill-motivated attack appeared few days later as an
editorial in the Guardian newspaper on 8th June 2011 titled “CBN and
non-Interest Financial Institutions. The editorial was published to
provide media support for the hate theologians and bigots, thereby
assisting in poisoning the minds of the general public against Islamic
banking and the shared benefits is portends for lovers of Ethical
Funds & Investment. Let it be said loud and clear, that the Muslims
are not unaware of the anti-Islamic posture of Guardian Newspaper.
The third attack came from the Anglican Bishops of the Dioceses of
Nigeria; they joined other propagandists singing the same unpleasant
song – Shariah bank! Religious bank!! Islamic bank!!! According to the
Anglican Bishop of Enugu, Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, the emergence of
a religious bank would definitely pose serious threat to the unity of
the country because of its religious connotation. In what manner, we
ask the clergymen? Are they bankers or human right activists?
The fourth attack, the most recent and shameful was orchestrated by
the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Delta State on Thursday,
June 30, 2001. The demonstrators numbering hundreds of idle,
unemployed souls took to major streets in Warri, protesting against
the plan to commence Islamic banking in the country. Alas! They did
not protest scarcity of kerosene, epileptic power supply, lack of
drinkable water, rising unemployment, worsening education system,
corruption in high places, need to return the loots of James Ibori et
cetera. Yet, they have the gut to call for the resignation of the
Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, saying he had
through the policy encroached on the secularity of Nigeria as
enshrined in the constitution. We wish to correct our Niger-Delta
bothers that Nigeria is not a secular state, but a multi-religious
society that adopted officially three major religions. The
Constitution allowed the practitioners
freedom of religion, conscience and liberty within the ambit of the
laws. Islamic banking has foundation in the Laws of Federal Republic
of Nigeria.
The fifth attack came from Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal
Olubunmi Okogie. He based his attack on the fact that Islamic Banking
if established in Nigeria is capable of fueling religious tension in
the land. How we ask the Cardinal? Is banking hall a wrestling arena?
Are lovers of Islamic banking going to drag unwilling Christians to
their bank? Remember Cardinal! Islam made pilgrimage to Mecca a
compulsory obligation, but Bible is silent on such practice, it is
neither an obligation nor a virtue, but because of jealousy, the
Christians lobbied government for support and recognition of its
innovative Pilgrimage Jerusalem, and today Nigerian Christians are
observing the rites without any hue and cry from the tolerant Muslim
population across the 36 states of the federation. The foundation of
this antagonism, when viewed critically is intolerance, hidden agenda
and hatred for Islam and Muslims by the leadership of the Christians
in Nigeria.
We state clearly that mischief makers under the guise of different
Christian associations have continued to oppose globally acknowledged
Islamic developmental models (like banking, insurance, ethical
investment, Arabic language, Shari’ah courts, affiliation with OIC et
cetera) for reasons best known to them.
Unwarranted opposition from the Nigerian Christians is perennial,
historical and can easily be recounted without stress in retrospect.
There was a time in this country, when Nigeria’s membership of
Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) was put to national debate and
discourse. Despite the numerical preponderance of Nigerian Muslims,
the government of the day bowed to the pressures and blackmail from
the few but vocal Islamophobic elements among the Christian community
by dropping the intention. They also lobbied President Olusegun
Obasanjo and Professor Charles Soludo to remove the age-long Arabic
inscription on the nation’s currency notes without putting it to
national debate. We did not complain.
It is also on records that when OIC offered Nigeria non-interest loan
for augmenting its deficit budget, the same hate theologians condemned
the worthy proposal and discouraged the Federal Government through
media outburst and blackmails. Thereafter, Nigeria opted for IMF loan
with its killing and inhuman compounded interest. The option of IMF
loan worsened the nation’s Public Debt, increased the debt burden and
created serious financial crisis. President Olusegun Obasanjo captured
the predicament of Nigeria under the peonage of IMF loan and its
merciless interest rate thus: "All that we had borrowed up to 1985 was
around $5 billion, and we have paid about $16 billion; yet we are
still being told that we owe about $28 billion. That $28 billion came
about because of the injustice in the foreign creditors' interest
rates. If you ask me what the worst thing in the world is, I will say
it is interest"! This is partly one of the rationales why Nigerian
Muslim like their counterparts globally loathed interest-yielding
investment, financial securities and banking; they preferred instead
non-interest banking and finance.
We state without apology to any group that Islam abhors interest-based
banking and transactions because it is antithetical to the theological
foundation of the religion. The Qur’an is the source of divine
guidance, which Muslims must follow both in their private and public
life, without deviation. With reference to interest, Allah says:
Those who eat interest (Riba) will not stand on the Day of
Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by devil
leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only
like interest,'' whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden
interest.Allah will destroy interest and will give increase for
charity. And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners.
Qur’an 2: 275-276
The above injunction explains why Islamic banking, economics and
finance are permitted in nations like Malaysia, Sudan, Europe, America
and other advanced democracies. Islamic banking is taught in
first-class universities across the globe and it is a feasible banking
model practiced in over 71 countries, even where the Muslim population
ratio is small like Britain compared to Nigeria with large number of
Muslims. Why then should a tiny group, because its media visibility
and mastery of blackmail denies Nigerian Muslims their rights? How is
the Islamic banking system a threat to the Nigerian secular status or
Christian interest? Are they aware that the regulatory framework for
non-interest banking was conceived and initiated by Professor Charles
Soludo, former Central Bank Governor because of his exposure and
knowledge about Islamic Finance as a veritable alternative to
conventional banking model. It was a project inherited and continued
by the current
CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido.
Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the Muslims are not alone in
their rejection of interest-based banking and all usurious economic
activities; it has being an historical issue in most societies and
civilisations. The History and Ethics of Interest by A. Birnie
reported that ancient philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Cato,
Cicero, Seneca and Plutarch detested and condemned interest and
usurious transactions in strong terms during their days. Evidences of
these sentiments can be found during the Republican Rome era, 340 BC,
when interest-based transactions were outlawed altogether.
Nevertheless, in practice, clever ways of evading legislation against
usury were devised by mischievous elements, a situation which lasted
till the collapse of the Republic.
To curb interest-based transactions during the period under
discussion, the Democrats in Rome rededicated themselves to the cause
of the poor masses suffering under the burden of debt cause by
excruciating interest rates. Consequently, under the banner of Julius
Caesar, a ceiling on interest rates of 12% was set, and later under
Justinian interest rate was lowered further to between 4% and 8%.
These laudable steps left fertile ground for the organised assault on
interest by the Orthodox Church following the Christianisation of the
Roman Empire later on. We wonder if the Nigerian Clergymen are
familiar with their religious history with regard to fight again
interest and usurious dealings. With specific reference to
Christianity and Judaism, there are several Biblical injunctions which
prohibit the act of giving and collection of interest. God instructed
the Jews and Christians thus:
"Thou shall not lend to thy brother money to usury, nor corn, nor any
other thing, but to the stranger. To thy brother thou shall lend that
which he wanted, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee
in all thy works in the land, which thou shall go into posses.
(Deut23:19-20).
“Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest. Fear thy God that
thy brother may live with thee. Thou shall not give money upon usury,
nor exact of him any increase of fruits (Levit 25: 36-37).”
“If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor, that dwelleth
with thee: thou shall not be hard upon them as an extortioner, nor
oppress them with usuries. (Exodus 25: 25).”
"And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are
that to you? For the sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as
much… Love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of
the Highest…" (Luke 6: 34-35)
Building on the authority of the scriptural texts, the Roman Catholic
Church had by the fourth century AD prohibited the taking of interest
by the clergy; a rule which they extended in the fifth century to
cover other Christians. In the eighth century under Charlemagne, they
pressed further and declared usury to be a general criminal offence.
This anti-usury movement continued and gained momentum during the
early middle Ages and reached its zenith in 1311 when Pope Clement V
made the ban on usury absolute and declared all secular legislation in
its favour, null and void. Unfortunately, the rise of Protestantism
and its neo-liberal tendencies subtly and diplomatically encouraged
this condemnable phenomenon. This pro-interest position has remained
pervasive in the ethics of investment and banking among the Christians
until today. The fact is that all the three acclaimed regions-Islam,
Christianity and Judaism have undiluted, unambiguous and
uncompromising
theological foundations that prohibit interest and usurious dealings.
If other religionists wish to bargain their hereafter for worldly
gains, the Millions of Nigerian Muslims are eager to do otherwise and
therefore seek to put their money in ethical finance acceptable by
Islamic standards. The present situation whereby there is no single
Islamic bank constitutes a breach of their fundamental human rights as
Nigerians. It stands in contradiction to the spirit of Section 38 of
the 1999 Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion and
liberty to manifest one’s conscience within the ambit of the laws.
Saving in halal (lawful) banks is part of Islamic beliefs and acts of
worship.
Based on the forgoing points, The Muslim Congress enjoins Nigerian
Christians to be tolerant and objective in their reaction to Islamic
norms and ideals. The Muslims in Nigeria genuinely need Islamic banks
to purify their wealth, investment outlets and safeguard their
hereafter. The fact that others do not need non-interest banking does
not mean that they should stand in the way of the Muslims. People read
religion into everything but claim that it is not religion when they
wish to do mischief.
We describe the statement credited to the Anglican Bishops as
insincere, rebellious, ungodly and self-seeking. The threat to go on
demonstration if their position is ignored is an indication that they
are idle and have abdicated their divine responsibilities of winning
souls for God, enjoining what is godly and guiding humanity aright. An
idle hand they say is the devil’s workshop.
We therefore call on the Federal Government, ably led by President
Goodluck Jonathan to ignore the lobby, ranting and mischievous
campaigns of the Christian groups, the prejudiced Guardian Newspaper
editorial and threat of idle Bishops and allow CBN to face its
statutory responsibilities. We advise that any attempt to deny the
Muslims in Nigeria the planned Islamic banking would portray Mr.
President as ungrateful to the massive votes given to him by
cross-section of Muslims in Nigeria, thus tantamount to biting the
fingers that fed him. We also caution the National Assembly, as the
representatives of the people, not to allow the voice of some few
Islamophobic elements to becloud their reasoning thereby making foil
the planned introduction of Islamic Banking in Nigeria. The security
agencies must also pay attention to the threat of these elements to go
on demonstration as their interest is not at risk. The international
community also needs to pay
special attention to this ugly development at this auspicious moment
when the world is clamouring for peace and mutual respect. What the
Muslims are asking for is not a favour but Allah-given right, which is
also constitutionally guaranteed and is also in tandem with the United
Nations human rights principles of which Nigeria is a strong advocate.
Long live Nigeria Media and Federal Republic of Nigeria

This same topic was mistakingly posted on the child board. On realizing that I came back to put it on the intended place!

AbuHanifa:
Salam alaikum brothers and sisters. On my way to work this morning, I had a chat with a friend living in Abuja. At the end of the conversation, I greeted her Jumah Mubarak. She told me that was Bid'a. I told her I never paid any attention to such greetings but will make clarification from my brothers and sisters.

I told her I could be wrong by refuting her claims but told her that I would make consultation on this issue before I know where to stand. The evidence she gave goes thus:

What is the ruling on offering congratulations on Friday?
What is the ruling on offering congratulations on Friday, because now it is the custom in our country on Friday to send text messages and people congratulate one another on the occasion of Friday by saying “Jumu‘ah mubaarak” or “Jumu‘ah tayyibah.”.


Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

There is no doubt that Friday is an “Eid” or “festival” for the Muslims, as it says in the hadeeth narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “This is a day of ‘Eid that Allah has ordained for the Muslims, so whoever comes to Jumu‘ah, let him do ghusl, and if he has any perfume let him put some on, and you should use the miswaak.” Narrated by Ibn Maaj
1098; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing the special virtues of Friday:

Thirteen: It is a day of ‘Eid that is repeated every week.

Zaad al-Ma‘aad, 1/369

Thus the Muslims have three Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which come once every year, and Jumu‘ah which is repeated once every week.
Secondly:

With regard to the Muslims congratulating one another on the occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, this is prescribed and it is narrated from the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them). This has been discussed previously in the answers to questions no. 49021 and 36442. As for congratulating one another on the occasion of Friday, what seems to us to be the case is that it is not prescribed, because the fact that Friday is an Eid was known to the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them), and they were more knowledgeable than us about its virtues, and they were keen to respect it and give it its due, but there is no report to suggest that they used to congratulate one another on Fridays. And all goodness is in following them (may Allah be pleased with them).
Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on sending text messages every Friday and ending with the phrase “Jumu‘ah mubaarak”?

He replied:

The early generation did not congratulate one another on Fridays, so we should not introduce anything that they did not do.

End quote from Ajwabat As’ilah Majallat al-Da‘wah al-Islamiyyah.
A similar fatwa was issued by Shaykh Sulaymaan al-Maajid (may Allah preserve him), when he said:

We do not think it is prescribed to exchange congratulations on Fridays, such as saying to one another, “Jumu‘ah mubaarak” and so on, because it comes under the heading of du‘aa’s and dhikrs, which must be based on a text (of the Qur’aan or Sunnah) because this is purely the matter of worship and if it were good, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would have done it before us. If anyone suggests that this is permissible, then that may imply that it is prescribed to say du‘aa’s and congratulate one another after having done the five daily prayers and other acts of worship, and du‘aa’ at these times was not done by the early generations.
