Yes, Islam is the most peaceful religion, if you are to honestly check what Islam is all about, I mean Honestly, and taking away things such as Hatred, Terrorist, etc,  I am very very sure, you will never Insult Islam (not Muslims) again,  That is only if you can HONESTLY read what Islam is all about,

Christianity EtcRe: For Muslims Only by auwal87(m): 1:49pm On Apr 06, 2007
I would like all Christians (whom are lucky) to accept ISLAM Now, Any Christian who read this and understand but reject it, I think He loose both on Earth and the Hereafter,

Jesus is NOT God
In my opinion, Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus preformed many Miracles, and Jesus was Sent by God to rescue people from their sins.


It is also my opinion that Paul was not sent by God nor was he doing God's work but was in fact selfishly pretending to be doing God's work which if a person takes a closer look at the words of Paul, we can see it goes directly against the Teachings of God in the Bible;


Paul even declares he has a different Gospel than Jesus (Romans 2:16)


The Gospel of Paul is contained in the following epistles: (Galatian,
I Corinthians, II Corinthians, Romans, Philemon, Phillippians)


Here is the list where Paul's Gospel clearly differs from the
rest of the Bible:


Did God mention widows?



Paul says;


"Now concerning the unmarried (widow), I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy." Cor. 7:25


"A married woman is not free as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies (widow), then she is free to be married to any man she wishes, but only if he is a Christian." Cor. 7:39


"She will be happier, however, if she stays as she is. That is my opinion, and I think that I too have God's Spirit." Cor. 7:40





Here now in Cor. 7: 25,39, and 40, Paul says that there are no rules for widows, they are free to marry anyone they want because the Lord has not set any rules concerning widows.


Moses says;


"If two brothers live on the same property and one of them dies, leaving no son, then his widow is not to be married to someone outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her." De 25:5





Is "Everyone" who hangs on a tree 'ACursed' ?


---------------


Paul says;


"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree" Ga 3:13


Now according to Paul, absolutely anyone who hangs on a tree is cursed.


What does Moses say in the Bible;


"And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is accursed by God; De 21:22,23


Here we clearly see that not everyone who hangs on a tree is accursed, but rather only people who meet certain criteria's which certainly Jesus did not meet for the simple fact that Jesus did not commit a crime punishable by death.


The fact that not everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed as Paul misquotes, is demonstrated by the following people;


(Ge 40:19) The chef who went against Pharoh was certainly not cursed and was most likely rewarded by God for resisting Pharoh.


(Es 7:10) Haman was not cursed, instead another victim. God does not curse those who were murdered, instead, those deserving of Murder which Jesus was not.


Is Everyone a sinner ?


Paul says;


"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" Ro 5:12


According to Paul, everyone is a sinner because everyone dies, Paul was obviously unfamiliar with the Scripture, for if he was inspired by God, he would have known that there were people who did not die, and were perfect.


The Bible says;


"having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God;" Hebrews 7:3-4


Now we see that Paul's attempt to try to explain the natural process of dyeing by calling everyone a sinner, falls short when you have others who did not die.


Furthermore, there are those whom are without sin;


"These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." Ge 6:9


According to Paul, everyone is imperfect, and has sin, here we see that Noah was perfect, fore if Noah was a sinner, surely he would not walk with God as the Bible documents.


"But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days." 1Ki 15:14


If everyone had sinned as Paul labels all, then Asa's heart would be blemished, instead, it was unblemished for the entire lifetime.


We know that having a perfect heart means that you keep all the commandments as shown here: "And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments" 1Ch 29:19


Another man who was sinless was; "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1


We know a perfect man is sinless because God says; "Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:" Job 8:20


Finally, to breath is not a sin, but according to Paul, babies are sinners too.


The "only" way to remove sin ?


-------------


Paul says the only way to remove sin is Jesus's blood; Re 1:5,


The Bible says;


You can also remove sins by; giving charity Exodus 30:15-16 and Numbers 31:50, incense Numbers 16:46-47, etc,


Who did Jesus, upon arising , reveal himself to ?



(a) in Galilee to the eleven remaining disciples (Judas, of course, being absent JUDAS WAS DEAD )--Matt. 26:16,Mk 16:7,14;


(b)in Jerusalem to the eleven--Lk.24:33,36;


(c) in Jerusalem to the ten, Thomas being absent--Jn.20;10,19,24; or


(d) to Peter and then to the twelve--1 Cor.15:5? (Paul's version, obviously presents a problem:


who were the twelve, since Judas was already dead (Matt. 27:5) and his successor had not yet been chosen (Acts 1:26)?


These are only a few of Paul's Anomalies which clarifies that Paul was not inspired by God and was in fact defied the teachings of God.

AC 22:9 They saw a light but did not hear a voice.


AC 9:7 Those present at Paul's conversion stood.

Jerusalem where he was introduced to the Apostles by Barnabas, and there
spent some time with them (going in and out among them).

This is not to discredit the Bible, but instead the men who try to change the Bible.

Christianity EtcIslam Effects On Our Lives by auwal87(op): 1:28pm On Apr 06, 2007
The word Islam is derived from word istislam, which means “surrender,” that is, surrender to God’s laws. The word is also derived from the word salam, “peace,” for if we follow God’s laws we will achieve peace—be it peace of soul, peace of mind, peace between nations, peace between people, and so on.

Islam as a Religion of Nature

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not leave anything bad that he did not forbid us from, and likely he did not leave anything good that he did not order us to perform. I will present some hadiths that show that Islam is a call for purity and peace and it does not contradict with one’s own nature.

By nature Man is not to hurt others but to be kind to others; otherwise hatred will prevail and life will be distorted. We find Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) directs us to this behavior. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I asked Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) which [believer] in Islam is more excellent. Upon this he remarked, “One from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe” (Muslim).

There are many hadiths of the Prophet that call on the Muslims to perform charity and to be good and kind to the poor and to everyone, and we find this concern for the poor to be innate in Muslims’ hearts and souls. One of these hadiths is this: “There is a (compulsory) sadaqah (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as sadaqah; and to help a man concerning his riding animal, by helping him to mount it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as sadaqah; and (saying) a good word is also sadaqah; and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also sadaqah; and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also sadaqah” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).

Abu Musa reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, “Giving charity is obligatory upon each Muslim.” It was asked, “What do you say of him who does not find (the means) to do so?” He said, “Let him do manual work, thus doing benefit to himself and give charity.” It was asked, “What about one who does not have (the means) to do so?” He said, “Then let him assist the needy, the aggrieved.” It was asked, “What do you say of one who cannot even do this?” He said, “Then he should enjoin what is reputable or what is good.” He was asked, “What if he cannot do that?” He (the Prophet) said, “He should then abstain from evil, for verily that is charity on his behalf” (Muslim).

Another hadith, narrated by `Abdullah ibn `Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), shows the importance of having compassion for poor people. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked which merit is superior in Islam, he replied, “That you provide food and extend greetings to one whom you know and whom you do not know” (Muslim).

Following God’s Rules and Prophet’s Teachings

Allah says in the Qur’an what means:

*{Say: “If ye do love Allah, follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Say: “Obey Allah and His Messenger,” but if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject faith}* (Aal `Imran 3:31-32).

Islam draws a framework for Muslims, whereby all can act freely as long as they are within this framework; if they go astray, they will have to repent and go back to Islam’s true path or else they will get punished. Let’s ask ourselves why God has created us. The reply comes from the Qur’an when it says what means:

*{I have only created jinns and men, that they may serve Me}* (Adh-Dhariyat 51:56).

Thus all Muslims’ lives are for achieving this end result—to worship God, which includes studying, working, marrying, having children, interacting with others, and so on.

Muslims have to study hard, as they are ordered to increase their knowledge. The Qur’an says what means:

*{…O my Lord! advance me in knowledge}*
(Ta-Ha 20:114).

Muslims also have to work hard and not cheat. The Qur’an says what means:

*{Allah doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due…}* (An-Nisaa’ 4:58).

While choosing a wife, a Muslim is directed to choose a woman for her piety and not to choose her for wealth or ancestry. In raising children, Muslims are ordered to teach them part of Qur’an and to do good for them. In interacting with others, Muslims are directed to be fair, not to cheat, and to be kind and forgiving.
If all people have to work to live, have to marry to have social life, and have to study to get higher posts and to be knowledgeable, Muslims can do all these things and have thawab (reward) by having the intention to please Allah by these actions.

Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “[The value of] an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be rewarded only for what he intended. The emigration of one who emigrates for the sake of Allah and His Messenger is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger; and the emigration of one who emigrates for gaining a worldly advantage or for marrying a woman is for what he has emigrated” (Muslim).

If we let ourselves to our instincts, chaos will take place; we will find all kinds of offenses taking place between human beings; all will strive to achieve their welfare regardless of hurting or wronging others. Thus, we find atheist communities tailor earthly rules to preserve peace and make regulations to judge between people. God has given us these rules summed up in Islam: it is not only a book to read or rituals to perform, but answers to all your questions, a religion of life.

Have Peace Always!
BusinessRe: Muslims Reject New Naira Notes: No Arabic Inscription by auwal87(m): 12:35pm On Apr 06, 2007
Thank God, Even 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, , etc are Arabic, why dont they remove them, yes, they are Arabic, if you did not believe check out Britannica, Encarta, and other western Encyclopedias and see for yourself,

The western people have made very big mistake by merging Nigeria with these foolish, evelish, southerners, who are proud of having oil that will finish up in less than 30 years, See for yourself, Solar technology, renewable energy, are all fighting against what you have (Oil), what did the oil money did for you now? I think you are all mistaking yourself to consider Muslims or Hausa People or Northern people useless in Nigeria, tell me, whose money do you use in exploring oil in the south it is evidently our Money (groundnut money), so, dividing this country will make southerners surfer alot, and we (northerners) we can live happily without oil, look at countries like Malaysia, do they have oil? No, but they are far more developed than any country in Africa, and they are using Islamic Religion as their official religion, Hum truth is truth no matter what you say,

EducationRe: National Open University of Nigeria by auwal87(m): 2:19pm On Apr 01, 2007
I am a Fulltime Student of BSc Computer Science at National Open University of Nigeria, as I am writing this reply now, on my table lies their course material (Introduction to Programming Language). The University is a nice place to study, you study at your own pace of time, you dont need to attend any lectures. You can travel freely without worrying about lectures, tests, etc. In fact, a NOUN student can graduate from as low as 2.5 years and as high as 8 years.

The Cost of attending NOUN is somehow higher, compared to Conventional Universities in Nigeria, totally, I spent upto 50,000 and in the next semester I will spend upto 25,000.

There are many Open Universities around the World, in UK, USA, Canada, Arab Open University, etc, We Nigerians we need something like this, consider the number of students in lecture halls, almost tripled the normal number needed. We need to support NOUN in any way to become stable, and by the Grace of God National Open University of Nigeria has come to stay in Nigeria forever!
