Evangkatsoulis:
Why don't you prepare them for the International mathematics olympiad. They are eligible

OK, thank you sir for the suggestion. How do I get their past questions and – if possible – their syllabus?

alfarouq:
I think there's a cowbelpedia app on play store. Download it.

Thank you, I'll check that out, insha Allaah...

OnlineTeacher:
There's no special syllabus for it. They use d BECE (junior waec) and Junior neco maths syllabus.

Thank you very much sir for your response.

Hello guys, I'm a mathematics teacher and I intend to prepare some of my students for cowbell mathematics competition. I've been trying to get their syllabus, I even called their hotlines, the one provided on their official website, but to no avail. So I don't know if anyone has a copy or knows how I can get one. Anticipating your responses, thank you!

AntiBalaka:
Salafist and Wahabbism are two sects of Sunni Islam and are identical in doctrine.

The real difference between Wahabbi and Salafi is that Wahabbis believe Prophet Muhammad is Nur or enlightened soul to guide the Muslims whereas the Salafis believe he is a normal human being.

The Wahabbi and Salafist brand frowns on revering tombs and grave sites.

So, if you want to lie that Uthman don Fodio was a Salafist, try another lie like your zombie compatriot above did wherein he claimed Fodio to be a Shiite.

Chai, see how someone is confidently saying what he/she doesn't know anything about.

More reason you shouldn't be taken seriously, you don't have knowledge on the topic you are speaking about, but you want to act like an authority. Nur ko, fura de nunu ni......Continue.

AlBaqir:
Please don't be lazy. Read before you comment. Your excuse have been addressed already.

Anyway, it's a simply challenge: give us one DAEEF hadith where the Prophet said that kind of tawassul he thought the blind man can only be done while he's alive. Lobatan.

I should be the one asking you for proof that it can be done after his life time, since you are the one trying to extend it.

Plus, the man should've stayed at his home and ask Allaah directly through the prophet without going to meet the prophet face to face.

There are no proofs the sahabas used the prophet after his life time, rather we have proof that they used the dua of Al-abbass to ask Allaah as he was still alive. If it were OK to use the prophet after his death, why didn't they do so, instead of going to another person that is living?

I will leave this again for the 10th time:

Imam Ahmad's Fatwa

Al-Mardawi said: “The correct position of the [Hanbali] madhhab is that it is permissible in one’s dua to use as one’s means of a pious person (saalih), and it is said that it is desirable (mustahabb). Imam Ahmad said to Abu Bakr al-Marwazi: ‘ Let him use the Prophet as a means in his supplication to Allah..."

Will attend to this soon, insha Allaah...

AlBaqir:
Empiree, and other truth seeking folks, help me ask this fellow to explain this JUICY part of the hadith he ran away from:



What else do you need in tawassul other than the above supplication?

This supplication taught by Rasul himself clearly seal arguments on the validity of tawassul and put Ibn Uthaymeen's futile efforts to trash bin it belongs.

The question is, was the dua done in his absence?

AlBaqir:
Imam Ibn Majah and Tirmidhi both document:

It was narrated from ‘Uthman bin Hunaif that a blind man came to the Prophet (s) and said:

“Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “If you wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or if you wish, I will supplicate for you.” He said: “Supplicate.” So he told him to perform ablution and do it well, and to pray two Rak’ah, and to say this supplication: “Allahumma inni as’aluka wa atawajjahu ilaika
bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahmah. Ya Muhammadu inni qad tawajjahtu bika ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma fashaffi’hu fiya (O Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards You by virtue of the intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. O Muhammad, I have turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession concerning this need of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept his intercession concerning me)”.

# Tirmidhi also document same hadith

This hadeeth isn't a proof to make tawassul with the prophet AFTER HIS DEATH.

This falls under tawassul using a pious man that is present to make dua for you.

The man simply used the dua of the prophet to ask Allaah. This doesn't proof you can use him while in his present state.

Empiree:
Note that Prophet (saw) made tawasul through nabi Ibrahim (as) in solati Ibrahimiya when he said "as you have blessed Ibrahim"

This is flawed.

There are three well known methods of tawassul that is agreed upon with their evidences.

First is using the names, attributes and actions of Allaah to ask him.

Second is using your good deeds you did for him sincerely to ask him.

Third is telling a living, present(that is in front of you), pious man to make dua for you.

Now, what you cited from salaatul ibrahimiyyah as your proof to make tawassul with the dead is – I said earlier – flawed.

The prophet used the action of Allaah to ask him. What action? The action whereby he blessed Ibrahim, he is used it to ask Allaah, which is part of what I mentioned as permissible.

It's like saying, oh Allaah, the one that forgives, forgive me. You are using his action to ask him.

So the Prophet was simply saying, oh Allaah, the one that blessed Ibrahim, bless me because you are the one that blesses.
