Jazakumullahu khayran.
May Allah continue to guide us to the truth.
Ameen.

OBJ is a big old fool who will go into political oblivion by Feb 2019.

Obasanjo is a big old fool. The guerilla will be put to shame come Feb. 2019 and that would be the end of his political relevance.

Northwest, an already locked down jone for Buhari, is almost equal to South south and south east put together. PDP should just concede defeat and save the country of resources.

kasheemawo:
My problem is this small region that is not even up to a state and want to unseat Buhari for Atiku obituary

They are the most useless creatures to have ever existed on the planet earth.
Their votes is so inconsequential.Buhari scored 198000 in the 2015 elections, yet won the elections and it's not going to be different this time particularly with the corrupt Atiku as the flag bearer of PDP.

How Tambuwal foolishly heeded the advice of Wike and committed political harakiri is what still amazes me. With the hand writing clearly on the wall, the man will soon vanish into political oblivion.

What is this first fruits? Is it all about money as you want people to believe? Tell us God's clear instructions regarding it. Are they meant to further enrich your already rich pastors or the poor? If they are meant for the poor, how exactly are they supposed to be disbursed among them, I mean the sharing formula? These, among others ,are the questions begging for answers.
You make reference to old testament scriptures on matters that are of interest to you, but yet discard them when you found them unsuitable.
I urge everyone to google about the zakat system in Islam. You will find out the difference.
I urge you.

That this foolish Omokri of a man call himself a pastor is what amazes me the most. Well most pastors are known to be liars. Even a deaf man understands clearly the conversation in that audio. What a useless and shameful man Reno is?

Volksfuhrer:
Jan 1 isn't a Christian holiday...all this wahala na much ado about nothing

And you attend church services on that day? Hypocrite!

lettalktrue:
do you now agree that king najashi accepted islam before his death?

You were asked to provide evidence, have you done that? Sorry! That question is for Albiqir who clearly doesn't have that belief.

MA she Allah!

The 2019 elections have already been won and lost. Buhari all the way.

Rashduct4luv:
AlBaqir is a notorious Shia' who is skillful in twisting texts to go against the Sunnah of the Prophet.
.
He is like a lite version of Habeeb Markaz (OON).

No doubt!
I think he's better followed with logic since his intention is to mislead people. Cant you see he has already being exposed?

lettalktrue:
is obvious you dont read the letter the prophet sent to king an najashi through Amr bin Omaiya Ad Damari and the king reply. you better go and research for it now,it will safe you from your ignorance!and again, how do you know that the prophet prayed salat mayit for munafiq, only huzaifa knows the names of those munafiq,neither the prophet nor huzaifa discloses the names to any other person,that is why he(huzaifa) was referred to as(the confiner of secret). so it is safe to say that prophet did not prayed salat mayit to any person except he is a muslim because "he didnt pray for no avail" according to one of his hadit.dont let anybody lie to you that prophet pray for munafiq

Perhaps he is referring to the Prophets salat mayt forIbn Salool against Ibn Khatab advice . And the prophet, being someone who conducted all his religious affairs based on revelations from Allah did that before Allah sent revelation against such act.

AlBaqir:
Ha. The charges against the Christians are more and heavier than "servant or children" of God faah. Maidah: 118 came after Allah says He will question Prophet Eesa if he was the one that asked the Christians to be worshipping him and his mother. Try to read Maidah from 114 - 119.

As par Christians preferring to be called "children of God" rather than "servant of God", It is just in their understanding that they think one belittle them and the other more elevated. The wicked "Slave-master" relation of human beings is what they have misunderstood as "God, the Master" and his creatures (human beings), the slaves/servants. While they thought a "Father-Children" relation is more of love. No Christians in his/her right sense believed s/he is biological child of God.

If you are indeed sincere why do you encourage them in their disbelief by wishing them good in their celebrations? Dont your christian friends and neighbors whom you extend greetings to during their celebrations believe they are sons of God?

AlBaqir:
Alhamdulillah you knew those verses.
Obviously they believe in Allah (God) and the last day. The only problem with them is in the attributes of God. Their case is different from those who rejected the existence of God and the last day altogether.

In other words, the idolators who believe in existence of God but direct their worship to their idols (as intercessors) are true believers and servants of Allah?

abujaafar18:
The verses are not new to me, except hypocrite like You whose intention is to deceive gullible Muslims. I believe in quranic verses. Just as clearly stated in the second verse you quoted, the condition is if they believe in Allah and the last day. No ambiguity about that.

Unfortunately, the Christians do not believe in Allah, infact the word Allah is alien to most of them. They have to believe in Allah, the Quran and follow the teachings of the prophet of Islam, before they can earn the status of true servants of Allah.

AlBaqir:
People like you will faint when you read verses like the following in the Quran:

Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 5:

"This day (all) the good things are allowed to you; and the food of those who have been given the Book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them; and the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those who have been given the Book before you (are lawful for you);..."



Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 69:

Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good-- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve."

Do I need to remind you that "people of the book" are Christians and Jews?

The verses are not new to me, except hypocrite like You whose intention is to deceive gullible Muslims. I believe in quranic verses. Just as clearly stated in the second verse you quoted, the condition is if they believe in Allah and the last day. No ambiguity about that.

AlBaqir:
PROPHET PRAYED FOR A DEAD CHRISTIAN KING, NAJASHI

The king of the then Abyssinia, an-Najashi was a Christian. He gave the Muslims asylum when they were being prosecuted, and he treated them with all respect. Interestingly, Najashi remained Christian till he died.

When the Prophet of Islam heard about his death, he stood up and prayed for him.


It was narrated that Abu Hurairah:

Said that the Messenger of Allah announced the death of An-Najashi, the ruler of Ethiopia, to them on the day that he died, and said "Pray for forgiveness for your brother."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (s) informed (the people) about the death of An-Najashi on the very day he died. He went towards the Musalla (praying place) and the people stood behind him in rows. He said four Takbirs (i.e. offered the Funeral prayer).

WAS IT AN INNOVATION?
# If Prophet is alive today, I'm afraid he will be condemned by today's fundamentalist who seem to know Islam more than the founder.

A sahabi also thought the Najashi the Prophet prayed for was not the Christian king In his thought, perhaps he deserved to be cursed.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

"Before he died, the Messenger of Allah (s) had written to Kisra, Ceasar, An-Najashi, and to every tyrant calling them to Allah. This An-Najashi is not the one that the Prophet (s) performed to the funeral Salat for."

We ask Anas ibn Malik to tell us which Najashi if he was not the Christian king of Abyssinia

Before you condemn all Christians, he's what's gonna happen on the day of Judgment:

 Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 118:


"If Thou shouldst chastise them, then surely they are Thy servants; and if Thou shouldst forgive them, then surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise."

If you claim Christians are the ones being referred to in the verse you quoted in your last paragraph, why do the same people despise the word servants but prefer to be referred to as children of God?

AlBaqir:
WHY DO YOU GREET "MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR"?

Some have asked why I greeted my Christians family and friends "merry Christmas and Happy New Year".

Some argued that even the Christians themselves are beginning to realize Dec.25th as a day where a particular Roman god used to be celebrated. Therefore, why reviving that?

Others argue that greeting the Christians is accepting their ideological beliefs.


MY GENERAL REPLY

First, Greetings has NOTHING to do with Iman (faith) or Ibadat (worship). It is only a courtesy which we can say, 'part of "akhlaq (morals)". And that I believe can go a long way in establishing good relationship with the society and change the fanatic way Islam and Muslims are being portrayed.

You can read a Sunni fatwa on greeting Christians during their festive seasons here:

https://www.nairaland.com/2061345/fatwa-muslims-congratulating-non-muslims-holidays

There is also al-Azhar's verdict online. And obviously there are other fatawa that condemned greetings of non-Muslims altogether.

Second, yes, it is debatable that the date (Dec. 25th) used to be day of worship of a particular Roman god. But this was changed and eradicated when the Roman emperor became Christian and paganism was destroyed, and Jesus birthday was substituted to that noted date instead. At the face value, this is more or less an acceptable transformation. It is however,  of no use for antagonists to keep on referring back to that story of Roman god.

Besides, if I may ask, which calender do you use? Gregorian calendar or Arabian (or Persian or Chinese or Bahai) calendar? If you as a Muslim uses the Gregorian calendar in your social activities and you did not point back to its pagan root (since that has been eradicated long time ago), then why do you feel disturbed when we say "Happy New Year" at the beginning of a new year? It has nothing to do with my faith or belief.

Second, it is very clear that Jesus was born and his day of birth was recognized by Allah in the Quran, and there is recommendation to remember such days among others.

When exactly was he born? Was it 25th of Dec or other date? There's controversy among historians. Whichever way it is, it doesn't matter. It does not in anyway reduce my belief and reverence for Prophet Eesa (Jesus Christ).

From which point of view are you arguing? Christian or Islamic? You need to come out clear and stop deceiving yourself and others.

FFK is a religious bigot, whose bigotry knows no bound
