5DMindset:
I am becoming upset about how Yorubas and Igbos have shamelessly turned this forum to a platform for their bestial and uncivil tantrums. For millions of us, who are not from these tribes, we hereby state, that we are ashamed of how you call each other Afonjas and Igbos. Stop polluting this forum.

Sad but true

The sheer lack of knowledge displayed on this thread by some is embarrassing to say the least. I weep for the leaders of tomorrow.

Q 5: In some families the brothers’ wives uncover their faces in the presence of their brothers-in-law. When I advise them, they say they are brothers and do not want to be separated from each other. What is your opinion in this regard?

A: It is not permissible for women to uncover their faces in the presence of their brothers-in-law because they are not Mahrams for them; they are in-laws.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about Al-Hamu (the in-laws of the wife – the brothers of her husband or his nephews etc.).

The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Al-Hamu is death itself.

That is, the bad consequences of uncovering their faces in the presence of them are more harmful because it is treated leniently.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

Lol, who's going to do all that you've listed?

Governments of course.

The way out of our economic mess is to tightened the system, reduce the over bloated public workers (tough decision but necessary), spend on power and education to drive the industrial revolution we are clamouring for, develop sea and river ports across Nigeria.

Bikr ibn al-Faraj Abul-'Alaa narrated to us, saying, "I heard Sufyaan ibn 'Uyainah saying:

'The Sunnah consists of ten matters, in whoever these are found, he has completed the Sunnah and whoever leaves anything from them then he has abandoned the Sunnah;

(1) Affirming the Divine Pre-determination.

(2) Giving precedence to Aboo Bakr and 'Umar.

(3) The Hawd (Pond-Lake).

(4) The Intercession.

(5) The Scales (for weighing the deeds).

(6) The Bridge (over Hell-fire).

(7) That _eemaan_ consists of both speech and action.

( The Qur'aan is the Speech of Allaah.

(9) The Punishment of the grave.

(10) The Resurrection on the Day of Judgement.

The Gaza-based Hamas movement revealed a dramatic change in its stance on Israel Monday when it officially announced revisions to its controversial charter.
At a press conference in Qatar, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal revealed the new document, which no longer pledges Israel's destruction but does accept a Palestinian state along the border set before Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
It also accepted the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "national framework" for Palestinians.

"The document is available to anyone who wants to know about Hamas and its policies," Mashal said. "The document reflects the consensus and reconciles Islamic and international principles."

The new manifesto also reflected common vision of all Hamas leaders and institutions, he added.
He said four years ago the group decided to produce the new guidelines, which were drafted over the last two years with input from international lawyers.

Hamas described the long-awaited document as a set of "general principles and policies" rather than a replacement for their founding charter, which their critics have often cited as evidence the group would not be committed to any peace deal with Israel.

Pragmatic, flexible
Hamas leaders have previously floated the idea of accepting a long-term truce with Israel that established a Palestinian state along the 1967 border, but Monday's announcement meant it became official Hamas policy.
Ahmad Yusuf, a senior Hamas leader considered one the organization's pragmatists, said the new document signaled "an important shift in the way Hamas is thinking" that will give it more flexibility internationally.

"There is a lot considered new when compared to the charter of 1988 in the way we talk about Jews. The problem is not with the Jewish people or their religion, the problem is with the Israeli project and occupation," he told Anadolu Agency. "This is a very important declaration from Hamas."

In his remarks, Hamas chief Mashal reiterated that their struggle against Israeli Jews was not over faith, but "Zionist" occupation.
"Hamas is not fighting with them (Israelis) because they are Jews, but fighting aggressive invader Zionists," said Mashal.

He said it also underlines that opposition to Israel does not need to be through armed means and that the document is more suited to their current position, as the ruling faction in the blockaded Gaza Strip, than the founding charter, which was intended to motivate Palestinians during the First Intifada uprising against Israeli rule.
He said the group went through the charter and removed elements they believed could be used to portray them as anti-Semitic but that despite accepting a state on the pre-1967 borders, "this doesn't mean we are going to recognize Israel or forget the refugees’ right of return."

Israeli prime ministerial spokesman David Keyes dismissed the document, accusing Hamas of unsuccessfully "attempting to fool the world" while continuing to use violence against Israel.

ephi123:
As I said in my replies to Eazymoh, what is seen is what we make impressions from - that's human nature. I am looking forward to seeing threads that show us the other sides different from what we assume we know.

The thing is we Northerners are very conservative save for a few and that's why we hardly post about our achievements because we look at it as nothing compared to what lies ahead.

ephi123:
Which was?
I'm sure you realize Kogi state is not a core Northern state?

There's nothing good about the North.
Which one is core Northern state again? When it suits your motive you don't differentiate between the 3 Northern regions but when it doesn't you come up with core north and other innuendos.
Having read your conversation with Eazymoh I have sheath my sword and my advice to we the citizens is to shun this superiority competition that is at variance with facts on ground.

EnuguDadImoMom:
Guy, abi boy... truly the thing pained you haha, quote me and d..

Goan sleep my future in-law.

ephi123:
Correction accepted, Okene.
So why jump on other people's comments since you've made yours?

To correct a wrong notion.

ephi123:
Since you are talking like a normal person now, I will type a proper response.

The first indigenous trained female neurosurgeon is Dr. Salamat Ahuoiza Aliu. Dr. Aliu is an indigene of Okenne Local Government Area of Kogi State but was born in Ilorin, Kwara State.

What stopped you from updating the thread with that info rather than jumping on another person's comment?

Let me correct your mistake it's called Okene not Okenne and my first comment on this was about her because we both hailed from same place.

ephi123:

Where I'm from we keep it lowkey we don't shout it out like how some of you do. Check who is the first indigenous trained female neurosurgeon again.

ephi123:
Heya, you are so pained

Pained over a comment made by a lowlifer from a region known as disgrace to Africans. Go get treated for Northernophobia

ephi123:
The comment was not an advice, duh.

I know you guys find the truth very bitter to swallow. Sorry but it's the way it is. Rather than defend your archaic customs, stand up and make a change, and stop quoting me all over the place.

Vain glorious buffoon worry about your pathetic lots who are nothing but disgrace to humanity. Clifford Orji and Vampire say hi.

ephi123:
Loool. When girls yet to discover their potentials are married off before we can say jack robinson, their contributions will be far less compared to other states. Wicked repressive culture.

Save your treacherous advice for your brothers begging for their lives in Asian countries and your sisters involved in intercontinental prostitution.

For some of your likes , Epe thru to Ikorodu is Nigeria for u ..

No mind am. Some folks believe Naija is all about Lagos. If industries aren't spread across other towns and cities we may end up with a failed State.

The problem with some southerners is that they think they're superior to Northerners in all ramifications this is but an invention in their minds.

This is repetition of post.

RESERVING PLACES IN THE MOSQUE. (Translated by Dawud Burbank) Shaikh `Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Naasir as-Sa`dee - rahimahullaah(d.1376 H)was asked: What is the ruling on reserving places (at-tahjeer) in the mosque? Answer: You should know -may Allaah have mercy upon you- that reserving places in the mosque, and placing a stick; when the person is delayed in his house, or in the market place, from attending, is not lawful, and is not permissible. That is because this is contrary to the Legislation; and contrary to what the Companions, and those who followed them upon goodness, were upon. So the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ) encouraged the people to come to the front in the mosques, and to draw close to the imaam themselves; and he gave encouragement with regard to the first row, and said: << If the people knew what there is in the call, and in the first row>>, meaning with regard to tremendous reward, << and then they did not find any way to it except to draw lots, then they would indeed draw lots.>> And compliance with this, and this tremendous reward, will not come about except for one who himself comes to the front and precedes. As for one who puts his stick or the like down, and comes later on, then he has acted contrary to what the bringer of the Legislation encouraged, and he is not complying with his command. So whoever claims that he attains the virtue of coming to the front, and the virtue of the place of excellence, by reserving a place in it, when he actually comes later, then he is a liar. Rather the person who does this misses out on the reward, and he acquires sin and accountability. So from the evil effects of that, is that he believes that by reserving a place of virtue at the start of the row, or in the place of virtue, that he can attain the virtue of being at the front. This is a false and futile belief, because the virtue cannot be attained except by one who himself arrives and precedes. As for one who reserves a place of virtue, but comes later on, then he does not attain anything of the virtue; for the virtue is for the one who comes first, not for the one whose stick arrives first. So if there were any good in that action, then the people who would have been most eager upon it would have been the Companions - radiyallaahu `anhum. However, Allaah kept them free of this vile action, just as He kept them free of every vile action. So if the person who reserves a space knew that he is sinful, and that his praying at the back of the mosque would be better for him, and safer for him, than the sin, then he would not venture to do it. Rather he would keep far away from it; and how could he attain reward through performing an action that is forbidden, and not permissible?! Also from the evil effects of that is that the mosques are for Allaah, and the people are on an equal footing within them. No one has a right in them except for the one who comes forward himself. So if someone else precedes, then he has more right. So if a person reserves for himself something which someone else has a right to, then he will be sinful and disobedient to Allaah, and he will be wronging the person whose right it is; and the right will not just be for a single person, rather everyone who arrives before him will have a right to his place. He will therefore have wronged a large number of people. So if we imagine a person coming, and the first row has been reserved by people wrongfully, so therefore he takes his place in a row further back, then he will have greater excellence than them, and greater reward, and will be more secure from sin. So Allaah knows from his intention that if he had found it empty he would have prayed in it. So he is the one who attains its virtue; whereas they attain sin, and they miss out on the reward. And from the evils of that is that it invites stepping over people, and causing harm to them, and the bringer of the Legislation has forbidden that. So he combines reserving something for himself, coming late, and stepping over the people. Therefore he is doing what is forbidden from a number of aspects. And from them is that if he places his stick, it causes him to become lazy, and to delay in coming. So when he knows that he will find a place at the front of the mosque, even if he comes late, then his heart cools, and he becomes lax about coming forward (early). He therefore misses out on a great amount of good, and he acquires a large amount of sin. And from the evils is that it provokes rancour, enmity, and disputation in the houses of Allaah, which were not built except for the remembrance of Allaah, and for His worship. And from the evils is that the Prayer of the person who reserves a place is deficient, because sins, if they do not nullify deeds, then they render them deficient; and there are from the scholars those who hold that the Prayer of the person who wrongfully reserves a place is not correct; just the same as a person who prays in a place which he has seized illegally: his Prayer is not correct because he illegally took the place, and wronged someone else. And from the evils of that is that the person who habitually reserves a place is one who is persisting upon disobedience to Allaah, because he is committing it, resolved to keep on doing it; and persisting upon sins runs contrary to Eemaan. He -the Most High- said: [[Meaning: And they do not persist upon sin which they have commited whilst they know, (but rather they repent.)]][Soorah Aali `Imraan (3) :135] And lesser sins become major sins through persistence upon them. So the amazing thing is that most of those who do that are people who have a desire for good; and perhaps the repugnance of this matter has departed from them on account of their persistance upon it, and the fact that some of them follow others. So desire for good cannot be realized through seeking closeness to Allaah by doing something forbidden. Rather the person who desires good should be the farthest of the people away from acts of disobedience to Allaah; and from wronging the people with regard to their rights. So nothing draws a person closer to Allaah except obedience to Him. So worse than this is that the person reserves something for himself, or for someone else, and (in doing so) combines a number of sins. So how can a Believer, who is rightly guided, who has life in his heart, be pleased to commit a matter which has these evils and harmful effects?! So what is obligatory upon everyone who does that is that he should repent to Allaah, and resolve that he will not return to it; since a person who knows that this is not permissible, but then persists upon this sin, is one who is taking Allaah?s prohibitions lightly; bold upon acts of disobedience to Allaah. It is to be feared that he is from those who love to be praised for what they have not done: for show and repute; he loves to be praised for his praying in the first row, and for the place of virtue; whereas he is actually a sinner who is wronging the people of the mosque, and he does not attain the virtue. Yet he persists upon this blameworthy and despicable characteristic. So we believe that the Believer, who is earnest about his Religion, when he knows that this is forbidden, and he knows the evils and harms contained in it, and how it reduces his Prayer or nullifies it, he will not undertake it and he will not do it; because there is no benefit for him in that, neither in his Religion nor in his worldly life. Rather it is entirely harmful for him. So the person who is granted success should seek the aid of Allaah upon abandoning it, and upon being resolved not to return to it; and he should seek Allaah?s forgiveness from what has emanated from him, because Allaah forgives extensively and is Merciful. He -the Most High- said: [[Meaning: And I am indeed forgiving to those who repent, truly believe and worship Allaah alone, perform righteous deeds, and remain constant upon right guidance.]][Soorah TaaHaa (20):82] And we ask Allaah to preserve us and our brothers the Muslims from acts of disobedience to Him, and that He pardons us and them what has occurred from us previously from them. Indeed He is Beneficent, Generous. As for a person who comes to the mosque, and his intention is to wait for the Prayer; but then something occurs: for example he needs to perform wudoo, or the like, and then he returns, then there is no harm for him; and he has more right to his place, and no blame is attached to him. Likewise a person who is in the mosque, and he places his stick or the like, so that he can pray or recite Quraan in another place in the mosque. Then there is no harm; with the condition that he does not step over people, and does not harm them.And Allaah knows best, and may Allaah extol Muhammad, and grant him peace and security.

bebe2 justwise pose a challenge to you, are you ready to do as he's said?

Trust politicians at your own peril, they're so unstable like thorium

vedaxcool:
No they aren't just one cursed leader after another each worse than his predecessor.

Abeg do make we gather repair our state and rescue it for dimwitted fools.

Enebeni Vedaxcool our people are not doing bad at all in education but we are just too unfortunate with clueless leadership. Kogi shall be set free.

Something to smile about this morning. God bless men of goodwill.
Only if we can leverage on our population and strategic location we will have been competing with the likes of China for global dominance. May Nigeria and Nigerians change for good

This is needless as it doesn't translate to a better Nigeria.
