Islam for Muslims / Re: Praying Obligatory Salah Behind One Who Is Praying Nawaafil by Alirauf(m): 10:21am On Oct 18, 2019
Firstly there is no obligatory prayer without an iqkama so now in reference to your quoted hadith: he observed the obligatory prayer with the Prophet & decide to lead them in his local masjid with the intention of nawafil & they with the intent of obligatory prayer, this was agreed so he led the prayer to the best of an obligatory prayer & not as a nawafil. Note: iqkama was present

But if you decide to follow someone praying nawafil without considering your intention will certainly not work. So with this you can seek for more knowledge & understanding. Allahu-ahlamu.

Phones / Re: Reasons Why I Think The Iphone X Is An Overrated Piece Of Metal - Naijatechguy by Alirauf(m): 12:18pm On Sep 21, 2017
NaijaTechGuy:
Alright a couple of days ago, Apple launched the new iPhone X alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus cleverly skipping the iPhone 9.



Like most Apple devices, the iPhone X broke the bank, costing over £999 (that's basically almost N400,000 in my currency)




Me right now.. Trying to figure out how N400k can change someone's life


I'll be quite honest I can't see any ground breaking feature on the iPhone X.

Is it the Design?

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 obviously does better.

No Physical Home Button?
Yeah.. Probably because Samsung ditched theirs

Yeah they dumped the head phone jacks for Airpods?

I'm not trying to be a cheapskate but why should anyone get wireless headphones that cost $159 (N60,000). I'd rather get a quality headset (Beats By Dr Dre). And what happens if one gets missing?

It has secure Face ID that can only be wrong one in a million times?

Did you watch the iPhone X launch at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino. Face ID couldn't unlock the phone. I guess that was the one in a million times they meant. Apple didn't tell us what happens if identical twins try to unlock one phone.I guess the passcode is just a secure way to bypass the whole debacle.
Samsung comes with Iris Scanning and Fingerprint Scanning.


Dual Camera Setup and Wireless Charging ?
I shouldn't be saying this but you and I know they're not the first to do this. There's totally nothing new here.



A lot of us expected Apple to add the touch ID beneath the screen but they never did. Vivo actually beat them to that feature.


With all the smartphones available in the world, I'd say it's really unwise for anyone waste $1,000 for stolen, exaggerated, reused and almost useless features.




Apple has always been trying to sabotage Samsung and the entire Android OS. The iPhone X’s screen is quite inferior to that of the S8 in terms of pixel density and brightness and they had the nerve to market it as "the future of smartphones".

Seriously "$1000" for a smartphone is daylight robbery. You can even get any affordable smartphone with similar features for less than that price.



Apple definitely has a very strong marketing scheme that causes people to go crazy over them. I don't know how they do it, but congrats to them but I'd rather not fork out $1000 for a new smartphone.

You'd think Apple would listen to people and fix a lot of things on their Anniversary device to mark the end of a decade since the existence of the iPhone but "No" , they're try to take our eyes off what they've not done.



1.You still can't install Apps outside the Apple Store



2. It's still difficult transferring files between Computers (Not Macs) and iPhones without iTunes



3. The Accessories Are Still Expensive



4. Users still don't have total control of customization



Apple makes massive profits from their devices due to the monopoly they enjoy from their O.S and its actually becoming something else.

You might think because it's because I'm a huge fan of Android phones that's why I'm saying their phone is overrated, well don't judge me yet until you hear what Daniel fromTechKnowNG has to say. :

The iPhone X features an edge-to-edge OLED display and comes with a $999 price tag. I don't know how the price tag will affect other Apple iPhone products but just as usual the iPhone is probably going to get a lot of sales based on surveys. The IPhone X has received a number of criticisms from smartphone users and the fact that it malfunctioned on the launch date sparked a number of hilarious criticisms on social media and we shouldn't ignore that.

The question now is

"Is The IPhone X An Overrated Smartphone "

Let's take a look at some of the features

1. The edge-to-edge OLED screen

The feature that makes the IPhone X stand out is it's edge-to-edge OLED screen display. Apple was quite excited about the edge-to-edge OLED display during it's launch, but this feature has obviously been on Android phones for quite a while. It's been available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Xiaomi Mi Mix and a couple of other Android devices so there's no reasonable way I'm spending a thousand dollars on a feature I can get for less on other devices.

2. Facial Recognition Software

This is like the most annoying part of the IPhone X, the facial recognition system. I'm okay with the fact Apple tried to come up with something new but the question now is will the IPhone X facial recognition system be able to recognize ladies when they're on makeups, fixed eyelashes or users in general when they have an injury anywhere on their face. Probably not, so you will be left with a device that only recognize you when you have a straight face, I'd advice you not to buy something like that.



3. The iPhone X is expensive. very expensive

One of the noticeable aspects of the iPhone X perhaps more noticeable than its display is its price tag. Apple has set the starting cost for its flagship product at $1,000 If you include taxes and the 256GB storage configuration. The device is even more expensive outside the US — customers in Italy, Russia, and Poland, for instance, will all have to pay around $1,600 for a 256GB version of the iPhone X


Generally, I feel the IPhone X is an overrated phone, it shouldn't be this expensive because all the features that Apple has claimed is new are not new, they all have been on Android phones, I mean affordable ones. But the IPhone X comes with an Apple logo at the back of it so I expect the logo alone to be worth more than $400.

That's what Daniel thinks but what do you think about the iPhone X.Overrated, Overpriced, Over Hyped.. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Drop your opinion in the comments.
we all know, na just the class & stature attach to the phone Ppl dey poshu

Events / Re: Top 5 Craziest Moments Witnessed At A Wedding by Alirauf(m): 11:14am On Sep 14, 2017
deturla:
A lot of people reading on here knows that there are times when unusual things happen during weddings.

From the weird, funny to the really crazy happenings at weddings, you never can under-estimate the fact that just sometimes, things happen that can either make or mar the event.

While a lot of wedding guests may feel they have seen it all in a wedding, the following crazy moments will remind you of the incident that happened when you were a party guest and you might maybe decide to share in the comment section below.

But before we get to the comments, let’s check out these crazy wedding moments witnessed at a wedding.

1. The case of the pastor who farted three times

Can we call this the best or worst thing that happened during a wedding ceremony. Well, let me leave that to you to decide on which.

We never knew what the minister ate since he was just farting throughout the church wedding. The loud releases at steady intervals during the ceremony caught all of us in a frenzy.

What made him do that and thought he could get away with it, no one really knew. Maybe he thought he could release without anyone knowing what’s happening but unfortunately the body mic caught the sound and the congregation heard the farting sound.

Imagine the embarrassment and the laughter during and after the service. There was so much laughter till he realized that it was all about him!

2. The Best Man who will never give up

We were all having fun, eating, drinking, wining and dining until the time for the Best Man to give his speech.

Everything started out normally, as the Best man started on how he hooked both bride and groom up, how he had watched them grow in their relationship. The fights, arguments, happiness and what is expected of both parties in marriage.

I almost choked on the meat I had in my mouth, when the Best man in a bid to conclude his speech broke down in tears and started begging the bride, to please give him another chance, since he never knew why she broke up with him in the first place. He told the bride that he still loved her!

Whether he was a bit drunk or he was saying the truth, no one really knew, since the whole reception went silent and everything looked really awkward till someone eventually had to drag him off stage.

It was indeed a very awkward situation!

3. A bride of 24 hours

I learned of a bride from a pastor friend who said 24 hours after he concluded a wedding ceremony, the bride called him up to ask whether she could bring the wedding certificate to be nullified.

On asking her why, she said the marriage was the greatest mistake she ever made, and that she just realized that nothing will make the matrimony work.

Well, the pastor told her that she would need to come over to the church to see him personally since he did not understand what could have led to the brash and drastic decision on the part of the bride.

I did not know what happened afterwards since I did not bother to follow up on the situation again! Talk of funny marriage stories.

4. The Ex-girlfriend that didn’t want to become an Ex

At the wedding ceremony, the moment of truth came.

That moment when the Pastor officiating the wedding asks if there was anyone, against this wedding, the person should signify by standing up or be shut forever!

Imagine at the third asking, ex-girlfriend of the groom barged into the church, to say ‘Hell No’ they ain’t getting married!. This was an ex-girlfriend who broke up with the groom five years ago and left for the United States of America.

‘Kill-Joy, you’ll say right’?

She did not stop there, she went on and on about what she will do to the groom if he ever married the bride. Before we could say Jack Robinson, the bride broke down crying, saying, no one will ruin her wedding.

In the twinkle of an eye, the bride’s father and the groom’s father both got out of their seats and dragged the Ex out of the hall, friends of the groom followed suit and kept Ex under lock and key till the wedding ended.

Apparently Ex came to the wedding drunk and spent!

5. Bride’s mother who wanted her pound of flesh

So, Mama Bride said because the groom did not seek her consent before proposing to the bride, she would disrupt the wedding. Imagine!

Even after the introduction and engagement, mother of bride had to wait till wedding day before saying the groom will never marry the bride.

You need to see the shock written on the groom’s face! It was a serious case of ‘I never experret it’.

See what happened next, the mother was bounced out of the wedding ceremony to be replaced by the new wife of the father! So much so for weird happenings at weddings.

Obviously we all got the gist later that the mother of the bride and the bride’s father have been separated for about 15 years, and since the groom did not seek her consent before proposing to her daughter, she went ballistic! Why that was such a big deal? Still beats me till date!

Were you a part of weird wedding incidents that was still in your mind and you never believed it happened? Share in the comment section below. Let’s have a laugh together!
