alhamdulillah thumma salatu wa sallam ala nabiyy wa ahli-hi wa sahbi-hi ajmaeen

It was when I was planning to take my leave from Nairaland that I observed this fellow called Lagosshia. His username indeed indicates the kind of person he would be – a shia to the bone marrow. And it was more surprising to me when I found out he sounds like a Yoruba fellow which confirms the fear that some Shias are trying to make inroads within the Yoruba Muslims. But when I saw his latest posts I felt very sad because he vigorously sounds like a person that can mislead others. While the doubts he has been raising are like the ones his Shia old comrades like Zaky-zaky and others have been parading. The scholars of Sunnah have adequately answered them as they have answered other deviants.

How I wish I have the time to engage him …if not that Imam Ahmad enjoins in Usuul Sunnah that people of innovations should not be engaged in debates. But this is Lagosshia here boasting he is rightly guided as the Ahmadis and other deviants who hide under the cloak of Islam do.

Hmm, if he is not careful and stop confusing people, he will eat his yam raw, I swear by Allâh.

Allâh suffices as my witness.

Muhsin, vexdacool what a good job!

PLEASE LEAVE OUR BANK ALONE!

BALA MUHAMMAD

The Hausa have a universal saying, ‘Gaskiya Daya Ce’, literally translated as ‘The Truth Is One’ or, more correctly, ‘Truth Is Constant’. How else could one explain Jews fighting on the side of Muslims? For that is exactly what is happening in the Netherlands this week. The Dutch Lower House of the Legislature earlier in the week passed a law outlawing religious slaughter of animals. In effect, there would no more Kosher meat for religious Jews, or Halal meat for Muslims. The Jews are doing the fighting, as Binyomin Jacobs, Netherlands Chief Rabbi, has equated the law to ‘Nazi persecution’ (www.metro.co.uk/news/867866).
Interestingly, there are less than 40,000 Jews in Holland, compared to about One Million Muslims. The Nigerian Christian clergy should please fight Rabbi Jacobs for fighting for Halal meat, which is part of the Shari’ah, like Non-Interest Banking.

Back in 2008, it was the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, who had advocated ‘for Islamic law in Britain’ (timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article3328024.ece). In a speech at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, the Archbishop had concluded: “, it seems that if we are to think intelligently about the relations between Islam and British law, we need a fair amount of ‘deconstruction’ of crude oppositions and mythologies, whether of the nature of sharia or the nature of the Enlightenment.

The Nigerian Christian clergy should please use their ‘crude oppositions and mythologies’ to fight the Archbishop of Canterbury for advocating for Islamic Law in Britain, the economic component of which is Non-Interest Banking.

Not too long ago again, it was the Vatican, no less, that put forward the idea that ‘the principles of Islamic finance may represent a possible cure for ailing markets’, in effect advocating for Islamic Banking, the topic of this week’s discourse.
In a report dated March 4, 2009 on Bloomberg (bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aOsOLE8uiNOg&refer=italy) by Lorenzo Totaro, and titled ‘Vatican Says Islamic Finance May Help Western Banks in Crisis’ it was said: “The Vatican said banks should look at the rules of Islamic finance to restore confidence amongst their clients at a time of global economic crisis. ‘The ethical principles on which Islamic finance is based may bring banks closer to their clients and to the true spirit which should mark every financial service,’ the Vatican’s official newspaper Osservatore Romano said in an article in its latest issue late yesterday.’ Pope Benedict XVI in an Oct. 7 speech reflected on crashing financial markets saying that ‘money vanishes, it is nothing’ and concluded that ‘the only solid reality is the word of God.’ The Vatican has been paying attention to the global financial meltdown and ran articles in its official newspaper that criticize the free-market model for having ‘grown too much and badly in the past two decades.’ The Osservatore’s editor, Giovanni Maria Vian, said that ‘the great religions have always had a common attention to the human dimension of the economy.’”
The Nigerian Christian clergy should please fight the Pope for directly advocating Islamic Banking.

Islamic banking services are available in more than 300 institutions spread over 51 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom (the same UK of Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglicans) and Italy (the same Italy of the Pope, the Vatican and Catholic). In the US, the Michigan-based University Bank (universityislamicfinancial.com) leads others in Islamic banking, as well as an additional 250 mutual funds that comply with Islamic principles. In the UK, there is the appropriately-named Islamic Bank of Britain (islamic-bank.com). Islamic Banking is growing at a rate of nearly 20% per year and with signs of consistent future growth. Islamic banking has almost One Trillion US Dollars under management. The UK’s Financial Services Authority, FSA (fsa.gov.uk) says it “welcomes the innovation that Islamic banking brings and the diversity it facilitates, Having access to Sharia-compliant banking products provides financial services to people whose faith prevents them from using the kind of products that are normally offered by UK financial institutions.”

The Nigerian Christian clergy should please fight the Americans and the British to force them to close down their respective Islamic banks.
In the Bible, the only account of Jesus using physical force in any of the Gospels was against usurers and money-changers in the Temple, as reported in John 2:15: “[Jesus] made a whip out of cords and went around driving everyone out, he scattered the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.” Jesus was fulfilling God’s command in Exodus 22:25.

Abstract:

To say Muslims should not partake in the global democratic surge will be seen as a call to backwardness and retrogression. Democracy has come to lord over the world as the only viable option of governance which no alternative can be thought of. As beautiful as the call to democracy might be, the core teachings of Islam say it has no place in its ranks and that it is of no goodness for Islâm and the Muslims. In other words, democracy is devilish and satanic. Isn't this a bogus claim?

This books looks at this fact from the perspective of the Shariah, the only divine laws that have survived the machinations of the enemies throughout the epochs. It is a compendium of scholars' works thus its preparer claims no prudence.

The book is written to hold back the throngs of Muslims sheepishly going into a man-made system.

A People worse than goats!

Guess who?

"And surely, We have created many of the Jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones."

[Al-Araaf: 179]

The people being described above are nothing more than the Mushrikun, worshippers of Christ; those commenting on this thread who have failed to open their eyes.

"Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e. you believe in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), while they disbelieve in your Book, the Qur'ân]. And when they meet you, they say, "We believe". but when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at You In rage. say: "Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allâh knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets)."

[Aal-Imraan: 119]

Once again:

"Perish in your rage!"

G-B-A-A-M!

Christians, funny people. You deliberately closed your eyes to the truth. Did you read all the pages in the thread? They are three in in number.

Go back and read from the beginning to the end.

Let me help ypu post them again:

Did you know that GODSON run away from the thread? since then he has never come back.

@Al-ahmaq, you still persistently claim to understand Arabic Language after I have shown enough errors in your crooked Arabic posts; while you yourself had earlier said you are not an expert, My grudge with you is why should you claim what you do not have; one you mislead your Christians friends by telling them 'do not worry, I know the Language' whereas you do not. For instance I cannot say I understand French even with my faint knowledge of it. if you do not know, it is an abuse of a Language that a person should claim to know it whereas he does not. Please refrain from it and stop showcasing yourself as a fool.

@oladeegbu, I can understand your plight. You are shattered. You cannot understand why some Muslims will know their religion. Yes the pride of a Muslim lies in his knowledge about Islam. I am grateful I am one of the learners. Please be informed that now, Maasha allaah, we have countless number of Muslim youths learning Islam actively. We beat you in class and we still beat you in your religion. 'Shei owo te yen kiriyo won yi, asiri yin ti tu, musulumi ti me sin e.' I know this will make you be angry the more. Expect a Qur'aan post soonest to add to your sadness.

Almuhandis:

Olaadegbu! believe me this guy does not know Arabic one jerk! he called me olodo-i wish I was one.The statement I made yes! please ask him. in arabic yes is naam!نعم I think this guy is blind or he learnt his arabic in the night, or still he is doing cut and paste arabic-I am shocked how he interpreted what I said,such a simple phrase.
Instead this confirm olodo wrote 'please answer it'.kai he needs deliverance

How will your stupid friend know if you have fooled him. It is between you and me; you indeed know that you do not understand Arabic.

@ Olaadegbu, be sure that I have succinctly answered your questions, but I know you will not be satisfied because you are soul frantically making effort to cling to Jesus for safety alas Jesus will not save you unless you turn in repentance to the Lord of Jesus - Allaah.

To show you that, those issues you are raisng have been formerly be trashed out go to this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-328844.0.html

I told you those superior to you tried it and failed.

There are still more threads; just go over that one first.

OLAADEGBU:

Let's see whether Allah or Mohammad has misguided you or not.

1.  How tall did Mohammad say Adam was?

How tall was Goliath? Who made such a giant? How tall is the tallest man in the world? Who made him so?

2.  Did Mohammad really say that his Allah turned some Jews into rats and some other time into pigs and monkeys?

Will the Jews tell you that some of thier folks were turned pigs and monkeys?

3.  Was it true that Mohammad was engaged to a 6 year old girl and then married her at the age of 9?

Old question that has been severally trashed. A nine-year old girl at the time may not be as now. The calendaring system was rough then; but for sure she was mature. If the act was wrong, the Arabs would not have let the Prophet be.

4.  Is Allah the moon god? and if not why do you have the crescent on your flags and mosques?  Does your just concluded Ramadan begin and end with the crescent moon?

The crescent was a latter-day innovation of the Ottoman Empire, thus it has no place in the Deen. Muslims begin and end thier fast by sighting the moon jsut as the observe the Salaah following the movement of the sun. The moon and the sun are just there for timing.

Answers to this will prove to us whether your Islam is the way to go or not.

Hope you have seen your folly.

Almuhandis:

yeah my brother! نعم! الرجاء طلب منه yes! please ask him.After which he should ruh min hunaa

Olodo you mean to say:

رجاء جوابا منه

Are you now happy?

Al-Ahmaq.

OLAADEGBU:

It is a pity that you don't even know that you are the prey in captivity. The battle has been fought and won on our behalf.  We are more than conquerors thru Jesus Christ our Lord.

If you had used the 'Holy Ghost' and whatever ghost, it is crystal-clear that you hope and confidence have been shattered.

You are only trying to save your face; it is damned already.

Seek no escape route, let us have your proofs that Islam is not the way and stop babbling over a metaphysical war.

Wait a minute, if you are indeed of God, you should be able to prove it that we are wrong as Muslims; why do you make Satan laugh at your folly for empowering him over yourself.

Please, be rational, and stop casting aspersions, tell me how Islam is a false religion; TELL ME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

You will not be able to; even if you spend the whole life time trying to because Islam is from the Lord of the worlds.

'Whoever has been guided by Allaah is indeed guided; whomever he leaves to stray none can guide aright.'

I am happy Allaah has guided me to Islam; you may call it misguidance because you are deluded and misguided.

Since all my encounters with Christians, I have always found them to be fools who cannot see with their eyes. Many of them had good education yet they are fools, fools, fools,

We shall continue to defeat you intellectually and otherwise. The day we will not be able to is the day when any of you accepts Islam of course you will be in the winning camp.

No apology to you korinyos.

OLAADEGBU:

Why wouldn't I be sad seeing how satan has blinded and captivated his prey, but joy comes in the morning because Jesus conquered the grave and rose to set the captives free.

Hmm, what a pretension!

Every sensible person will know that your hope and confidence have been shattered.

Well, it is good you do not show all the weakness.

We hope to hear from your comrade, al-muhandis al-ahmaq.

OLAADEGBU:

@Almuhandis,

Coming to think of it this man's testimony reveals how satanic he used to be before he found Christ.  Here you will hear him talk about him using diabolical powers by his idols that he worships to do evil. The testimony is in English and subtitled in Arabic.

[flash=600,500]http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-8870177642686242029&hl=en&fs=true[/flash]

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8870177642686242029

You must definitely be sad now.

Say no if you are not.

LOL.

Al-Muhandis, Al-Ahmaq; the thread was started by you to claim that you understand the Arabic Language, when that cliam of yours was quashed, you moved towards discrediting Islam with claims severla of which have been thoroughly discussed before you came on board. We shall not waste time with you, as you bring them we shall reproduce the answers we gave them. But be sure that you will suffer the same fate they suffered. One of them (I will not mention thier names), pretended that he was living the UK for Nigeria, since then, his hand had never been seen; perhaps he had adopted another username. The other person jsut made a volteface and said he could not carry on while one of them went vituperative.

We have resolved to do carry out this effort:

"…so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower."
[al-Anfaal: 42]

So we are waiting; what about your three stages of Jihaad?

Do not forget Muhammmad a pedophile;

Contradictions in the Qur'aan;

Etc.

Baa masala kai daiska ne.

'Mo tun fi yen surprise re.'

al-muhadis, al-ahmaq (the fool); when those superiror to you, relying on the same source of yours, once raised the issue of Allaah being an idol in Makkah sometime ago, this was thier response.

“ Muslims insist that the name " Allah" must be used in every language…”


This is where you actually addressed the issue at hand. Muslims prefer that God should be called Allaah because that is what He says His Name is in the Final Revelation. This does not mean Allaah cannot be called in other names that people call God. But it is better that Muslims call Him Allaah because some other names God is called might have one form of corruption or the other. For instance the word ‘God’ is somehow ambiguous. When you hear ‘God’ or ‘god’ how do you differentiate that? One can easily slip into error, so this is why Muslims feel safe calling God Allaah often.

Yes the Arabs used to worship more than 360 idols before Prophet Muhammad stop that. Allaah was never part of those idols otherwise the Arabs would have got a stataue for him as they did for other gods. Why? Because they knew He was a Supreme Being that cannot be seen. In fact just like the Jews, they had demanded from the Prophet that they liked to see Allaah:

“And those who expect not for a Meeting with us (i.e. those who deny the Day of Resurrection and the life of the Hereafter), say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or why do we not see Our Lord?" indeed they think too highly of themselves, and are scornful with great pride.” [Q25: 21].

So if Allah were an idol (I seek refuge in Him from that), they would not have asked the Prophet to let them see Him.

To say that Allah is an idol, that is a documented history, shows another aspect of your referencing history. You yourself know within your heart that you have told a BIG LIE. Where is it documented O Nezan that Allaah is a chief idol? Bring it or else, as usual, you are a [finish it yourself, so that you will not say I am abusing you.]

And did that your phantom ‘greatest historian’ say Allaah was an idol?

As for the origin of the Ka’bah and the Hajj, I think I have addressed that in the answer I gave to Kola Oloye in ‘Ask Me About Islam’ so go back and read it.

“ Within the Kaaba, in pre-Moslem days, were several idols representing gods. One was called Allah, three others were Allah's daughters, al-Uzza, al-Lat, and Manah, (Will Durant, "The Story of Civilization," IV: 160-61).”

So Will Durant was that ‘greatest historian’ who told you that Allaah was the chief idol of the Makkans. See what I have been telling you that the historians that you in particular quote are fools. A fact that a toddler among the Bedouin Arabs know; that Allaah is in the heaven and cannot be seen, and that the Arabs had never thought Him to be an idol, but your Will Durant said otherwise. He must be a fool. Well tell us who said he ‘was the greatest’ historian so that we would see how foolish that person is also. It must be your imagination!

That some idols were called al-Uzza, al-Lat and al-Manaat, and that the Arabs say they are ‘daughters of Allaah’ is a phenomenon well-known, that is, that they said that. And Allaah had repeatedly faulted that in the Qur’aan. See this, and please read it carefully:

“Have You Then considered Al-Lât, and Al-'Uzza
And Manât (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?
Is it for You the males and for Him the females?
That indeed is a division Most unfair!
They are but names which You have named, You and Your fathers, for which Allâh has sent down no authority. they follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the guidance from their Lord!”

So it is glaring from the above that the idols were conjectures of the pagan Arabs.

Let us teach you Islam:

Somebody once asked on this Forum: ‘What is the genesis and significance of "the five pillars of Islam".

And we answered:

The five pillars of Islâm are:

One: Testifying that Allaah is the Only Supreme Being worthy of worship in truth, and that Muhammad is His Messenger (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam).

Evidence for that abound in the Qur’ân.

The significance of that is that people will know that Allaah (those who still refer to Him as one of the idols in Makkah are only celebrating their ignorance; do you say the Arabs never knew that there is a Supreme Being?) Only is the Creator that all forms of worship are supposed to be directed to, and that Muhammad is the last of Allaah’s Messengers and Prophets (not as being loosely used in Xtianity) whose explanation of divine phenomenon, as revealed to him, must be listened to. Muslims know that they cannot worship Allaah adequately unless the follow the Messenger of Allaah (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam).

Closely associated with the above is belief in the following:

Belief in the angels – Jibreel, Mikail, Israfeel, Maalik, Malakul-Maut (angel of death) Munkar, Nakir, etc. (Only Allaah knows their number.)

Belief in all the Messengers and Prophets of Allaah (Allaah’s peace on them all). No Muslim will disbelieve in a Prophet of Allaah, say Jesus (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam), and remains a Muslim. (Muslims are in a better condition).

Belief in the Heavenly Books – Torah, Zabur, Injeel and the Qur’aan (that confirms, or otherwise, of other Books.)

Belief in the Last Day (when the truth of Islâm as the religion of all the Prophets, among other things, will be resolved by the Judge - Allaah).

And belief in preordainment (Qadar), that Allaah had foreknowledge of what would be and what would not be; that I am typing these lines now had been preordained. The Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) has said the first thing Allaah created was the Pen, and He said to it: ‘Write,’ the Pen asked: ‘What should I write?’ He said write all what will be till the end of time.’ So all that is, whether good or bad, Allaah had the foreknowledge of them. Our Lord is a Mighty Lord, Above is He from all false things He has been described with.

The points above constitute the bedrock of the Aqeedah (Creed) of a Muslim.

The second pillar is observance of the Salat (Prayer).

It is a commandment from Allaah that the Muslims must observe the Salat five times a day (Sub’h, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Ishaa).

“Perform AsSalât from mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Ishâ' prayers), and recite the Qur'ân in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).” [Q17: 78].

Observing the Salat is a means of seeking nearness to Allaah; and they are meant to mould a Muslim in his daily life:

“, and perform As-Salât. Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahshâ' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.)” [Q29: 45]

The Salat is very important in a Muslim life that whoever does not observe it, wholly and knowingly, and calls him/herself a Muslim is not. The Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) has said: ‘Between a man and his becoming an unbeliever or a polytheist is when he leaves off the Salat. Whoever leaves off the Salat has disbelieved.’ (Authentic hadith).

We have other obligatory Salawat apart from the five mentioned above, an example of that is Salatu Jumah (observed once in a week – Fridays; it is not compulsory for women to attend). There are other supererogatory Salat called Naafilah – that accompany the daily Salawat and the pre-dawn prayer (Tahajjud). There occasional Salawat like the Prayers on the occasion of the two Eids (Adh’a and Fitr); Prayer for rain, prayer when there is eclipse, etc. The Nawafil are optional.

It is noteworthy that the number of times a Muslim will observe the Salat in a day was given by Allaah to His Messenger in the latter’s momentous and historic journey to the heavens (Israa wa Miraaj). All the Christians on this Forum would instantly add that to another ‘lies’ of Al-Ameen (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam), poor them. Well unbelievers’ lot are to disbelieve, carry on. The Jews disbelieved, and are still disbelieving, in Jesus Christ (and the Christians loved, and love, them more than the Muslims, what an irony!).
[All the Arabs used to know the Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) as Al-Ameen (the trustworthy one; he never told a lie in his life) but they called him a liar when he told them there is only one God. Was it possible that someone who did not tell a lie when dealing with people would tell lie when referring to God? Unbelievable.]

The third pillar is fasting in the month of Ramadan (the ninth month of Islamic calendar).

“O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).” [Q2: 183].

So it is glaring from the above verse that fasting in Ramadan was commanded so that Muslims will learn more piety. And it is so.

Imagine a fasting Muslim who refrains from eating and having intimacy with his wife while he has the power to do such, especially the former, in secret without anybody bringing him to book, but he will not do that because he knows that the Supreme Being sees him. That is it.

Fasting can also be obligatory or supererogatory. Muslims do not fast in Ramadan alone.

Thus fasting is another means of seeking nearness to Allaah (the Mighty and Sublime).

The fourth pillar is paying the Zakat.

“And perform As-Salât, and give Zakât, ” [Q2: 43].

So giving the Zakat is obligatory on the rich Muslims those whose wealth has gone beyond the Nisaab (the minimum standard of wealth from which Zakat can be given). The Nisaab, which today is according to the gold value, is around N250,000 now (subject to confirmation please). A rich Muslim who has more than that amount in his savings for a whole year without touching it will pay 2.5 per cent of it as Zakat, and they are meant for:

“, the Fuqarâ' (poor), and Al-Masâkin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islâm); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allâh's Cause (the necessary and obligatory warfare), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allâh. And Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise.” [Q9: 60].

When the Zakat is properly managed and administered by the Islamic Community, then you will see how Allaah uses the Muslims to enrich one another. Some Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia are trying in this regard.

And if you read the verse above carefully, you will notice that it is not even only the Muslims that receive the Zakat.

In a Muslim State, non-Muslims who are called people of the books (viz. Xtians and Jews) are not to pay Zakat but will pay Jizyah (for the security they receive from the Islamic state). When Jesus comes back (as certain he will come back, no good Muslim will deny this, he will remove the Jizyah because by then the non-Muslims namely the Christians (alive then) will have no option but to become Muslims. You will laugh, GODSON et all, won’t you? That is the truth from our LORD - Allaah.

“And he ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Iesa's (Jesus) descent on the earth] . Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to Allâh and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islâmic Monotheism, leading to Allâh and to His Paradise).” [Q43: 61].

The non-obligatory aspect of Zakat is what is called Sadaqah, voluntary alms, which is an everyday activity of a Muslim.

The last pillar is going on hajj.

The Muslims have evidence for Hajj they go to, we do not copy people. But people copy us.

“, And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allâh], then Allâh stands not in need of any of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns).” [Q3: 97].

Non-Muslims should know that the institution of Hajj had been a commandment handed down by Allaah to Ibrahim (Abraham) – the Father of Faith.

“And (remember) when We showed Ibrâhim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, [Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh Islâmic Monotheism], and sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allâh), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.);” [Q22: 26].

“And (remember) when Ibrâhim (Abraham) and (his son) Ismâ'il (Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah), (saying), "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.” [Q2: 127].

Note, Oh Christians, that the Arabs whom the Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) met in Makkah never denied that fact even though they would have denied it as they did for other facts, because they knew it was nothing but the truth. But you Christians, here and in other places, you open your mouths and say Ka’bah ‘is a house in Makkah that houses a god called Allaah.’

“Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins” [Q19: 89-90].

It is stated in the Bible (get it right now, the Bible is an admixture of words of God and men [some of you have confirmed that on other threads]; Muslims believe in what comes from God there as confirmed by the Qur’ân and the authentic narrations from the Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) [like here O Israel our God is One] and we dsibeleive in what comes from men [e.g. that Jesus is God or that he is son of God {may Allaah be glorified from that}], so please take note.) so it is stated (in the Bible) that Abraham was commanded to take Ishmael (Isma’eel) and his mother (Haajar) away. To where? Please we need your answer.

Meanwhile Islâm has answered that:

Allah said quoting Ibrahim:

“O our Lord! I (Ibrahim) have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allâh) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.” [Q14: 37]

Notice Ibrahim’s supplication for Makkah in the verse. Will you understand, O Christians?

So a nation has been born through Islâm Muhammad, a grandson of Ishmael, brought as commissioned by Allaah. The nation is a great one, as the Bible (the one that comes from God) attests to; and the Jews are highly Jealous of it, as it (the Bible) also says.

So Ka’abah was the first house of worship on the surface of the earth.

“Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-'Alamîn (the mankind and jinns).” [Q3: 96]

Back to the issue of hajj being the last pillar of Islâm.

It is obligatory on capable Muslims to go on Hajj:

“That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the Name of Allâh on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijjâh), over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) (at the time of their slaughtering by saying: Bismillah, Wallâhu-Akbar, Allâhumma Minka wa Ilaik). Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time. Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manâsik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka'bah at Makkah).” [Q22: 28-29].

So the hajj is also for spiritual development of the Muslims.

The non-obligatory hajj is called Umrah – it can be performed any period out of the Hajj months (the Hajj months are Shawwal, Dhul-Qi’dah and up to tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah). But it is best performed in Ramadan.

Go to Hajj and see equality par excellence. In Hajj all Muslims (heads-of-state, peasants, traders, labourers, etc) stand, walk, pray side by side.
There is no Muslim that will go on Hajj except that his Faith will increase.

The Prophet (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) has said a hajj performed by a Muslim whereby he avoids all forms of sins (arguments, fighting, sexual intimacy with one’s wife {when adorning the Ihraam}) has no reward except that the person will come back like the day his mother gave birth to him – a sinless state. Allahu Akbar! (We do not need somebody’s blood).

These are what we the Muslims worship our Lord with, we are happy we are so guided, we implore those who are not Muslims to reason alongside their Creator so that they know what He wants from them, not what they want from Him.
[‘Inu midun pe moje Muslim’ (I am happy I am a Muslim)].

Peace unto those who follow the guidance.

NB: (sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam) means: May Allaah exalt his mentioning, and bestow him peace.

al-muhandis, the fool, you have just concluded that out of all the races it was only the Arabs that did not believe in a supreme being; YOU ARE A BIG FOOL!

bashy_demy:

Nice said Brethren Allah will reward you pls is there any places i can read more about the hadith's online cos i like to read for my self and have proof to defend the religion of peace from that are blackmailing Islam Allah is Great

Well, I shall when I lay my hands on some but know that most of these things are still Arabic, so to get English equivalent might be very difficult. The bulk of Islamic materials are still in Arabic; tens of them are being written daily. The one I sent I across is from an Arabic source. Brother, you need to learn Arabic, if you have not, to understand the Deen. It is pride of Islam that the bulk of its knowledge is retained in Arabic otherwise the fools here - I mean the non-Muslims - would have been able to open their stinking mouths against the Deen; but the language is a barrier.

Almuhandis:

my position on this thread has been very clear from the begining. Pls my christian brethren, what ever you are not clear about, do ask me. I am ready to answer any ques emanating from this thread.But i am thru with the dogs and the unbelivers-who the god of this age has blinded their eyes.Except offcourse Yesua comes to their rescue-our utmost desire.Amen 

Very, very unfortunate.

Haven't they read this:

""It was mentioned by Daraj Ibn Abi Hatim, that Abu al-Haytham Abdullah Ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudhri, who heard the Prophet Muhammad (Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a.'"

The foremost authority on hadith in the century, Ash-Shaykh Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith, Muhammad Naasirudeen Al-Albaani declared the much celebrated-hadith by the Christians as Daeef [weak]. See his commentary in Daeef Tirimidhi [2562], Sahih Mishkaat Masaabih [5648], Daeef Jaami Sagheer [266]. Thank Allaah Muslims have scholars who remove what is not Islam from Islam.

The rule is that a Muslim does not believe in or work with a weak narration.

But if it had been authetnitc a Muslim will believe in it. Mind you it is said it is for a believer nowhere it is said a Jihaadist. A true Jihaadist (that fights in a war against the unbelievers like the Chrsitians, Jews and polytheists behind a legitimate Muslim ruler {as we shall do before or when Mahdi comes}) will have his own plenty reward.

I could observe this is a digression from the thread yet you are still cornered.

"Nay, we fling (send down) the Truth (this Qur'ân and Sunnah) against the falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished." [Al-Anbiyaa: 18.]

Thus a Christian that still repeats that here or elsewhere is only confirming his misguided and deluded foundation. The Christians are indeed fools; the Jews are wiser.

No apology to you, korinyos.

Almuhandis:

an ILEGITIMATE religion can never have the LOCI STANDI to draw men to a god or critizise any other religion-thats my point
the three stages of jihad preparation coming to to this thread soonest!

Carry on, you shall be exposed and 'flogged.'

@al-muhandis, why the total digression from the purport of the thread? Anyway no problem continue to claim what you do not know about Islam, we shall let you see your folly. Were you not the same person claiming to be thought the Arabic Language by the 'Holy Ghost' and yet your 'Holy Ghost' let you down. This time around your 'Holy Ghost' will lead you to perdition.

Will you reason?

Almuhandis:

www.arabicbible.com/christian/arab_christians.htm
Keep praying for the ones who "the God of this age has blinded their eyes.
Do also pray and fast for our Christian ummah in the Middle east,that the Holy Ghost will tell them what they need to do.
Please do not fast like the heathens-they eat two times in one day! yet they claim they fasted.
Shukran as you respond

"…So the disbeliever was utterly defeated. and Allâh guides not the people, who are Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.)"

Al-Muhandis, olodo ni e.

QAEDA AL-FAQUHIA!

Do you mean to say: 'Al-Qaaidah Al-Fiqihiyyah' which is singular form of 'Al-Qawaaid Al-Fiqihiyyah?'

I have said it on the other thread (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-506001.96.html#msg6744360) where you pose yourself as an Arabic lexicographer that you are a Jaahil of the Arabic Language.

Please stop murdering Islamic and Arabic terms, you have been warned.

Why do you claim what you do not have?

كلاب – kelbu!

كلاب, you ought to know that the transliteration of the word in Arabic is 'Kilaab' not the damned 'kelbu' that you wrote. The latter is singular while the former is plural.

And the correct accent ought to be 'Kalb.' Your 'ke' is rustic.

'You left me with no option than to enter Harbun with you.'

Even the common rule is that the last vowel in every Arabic word is silent. Your faint and crooked knowledge of the Arabic Language has failed you.

Your word ought to read 'Har'b' not your wretched 'Harbun.' And contextually you have failed in the usage of the word. Do you ask me how? I shall teach you if you want.

But I like to ask; are you one of those stupid Christians sent to Sudan and other Arabic speaking countries to learn Arabic Language against the Muslims? Indeed you are all fools.

"They intend to put out the light of Allâh (i.e. the religion of Islâm, this Qur'ân, and Prophet Muhammad) with their mouths. But Allâh will complete His light even though the disbelievers hate (it).

"He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the Religion of Truth (Islâmic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad hate (it)." [Saff: 8-9].

I will advise you, O Muhandis, to stop showing that you have any knowledge of the Arabic, I do not mean you cannot have it, many orientalists before you such as David Cowan, Arberry, Edward Williams, etc, had had it, in fact they were very proficient yet they could not achieve their intent of destroying Islam; so you too, as you have shown that you are interested in the language, should go back and learn it properly then come let us see what you have. But that you should come here and boast of what you lack, O je'yan re ni'su.

Even your English is very poor. Can't you polish your English first, I think that ought to be your major concern, before you trade in crooked Arabic? You need English for you pastor business than Arabic; the Arabs are still Muslims just as the English are still Christians.

And if you do not mind, 'a person that runs to a roadside Alfa' can teach you English Language; he had the privilege of studying two English Language related courses in two Nigerian Universities.

When will almuhandis resume his wretched Arabic lesson.

Nay, Faaqidu shayin laa yu'ti-hi' ['He who has not cannot give'].

I am waiting for you.

"Or Say you that Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob) and Al-Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allâh (knows better, ; that they All were Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad when He comes, written in their Books. he has from Allâh? And Allâh is not unaware of what you do."

[Al-Baqarah: 140]

Maasha Allaah the concluding part of the thread is fascinating; innovations in the Deen have been mercilessly whipped.

Fighting innovations is one of the ways of safeguarding Islam otherwise it would have totally become like other religions.

May Allaah continue to save His religion via those who will fight Shir'k, Bid'ah and Ma'aasi.

Allaahuma Amin.

Still for non-Muslims to ruminate over:

"Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the) One.

"Allâh-us-Samad (the Self-sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).

"He begets not, nor was He begotten;

"And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

[Al-Ikhlaas: 1-4]

Allaah is ever Great!

Coming back from Sallah Break, and noticing the much noise and claims, have this O Christians:

"And who turns away from the Religion of Ibrâhim (Abraham) (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, we chose him in this world and Verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

When his Lord said to him, "Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!" He said, "I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)."

And this (submission to Allâh, Islâm) was enjoined by Ibrâhim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qûb (Jacob), (saying), "O My sons! Allâh has chosen for you the (true) religion, Then die not except in the faith of Islâm (as Muslims - Islâmic Monotheism)."

Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qûb (Jacob)? When He said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" they said, "We shall Worship your Ilâh (God - Allâh), the Ilâh (God) of your fathers, Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), one Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in Islâm)."

[Baqarah: 130-133]

Hope you can see your folly O disbelievers in Islam!
