Islam for Muslims / Re: Between Western Ideals And Islamic Identity by avr247: 1:53pm On Sep 28, 2013
tbaba1234: The biggest lie the West ever created, was convincing the world that its values were universal and 'neutral'. But unbeknownst to most people, its values are based upon its own particular worldview, which is quite distinct and antithetical to most of the world's (original) belief/law systems. Thus like how the U.S. promotes the dollar, the West printed out its intellectual currency, and asked everyone to use it as a universal standard for moral and
intellectual transactions. But like how the dollar is linked to US economy, so Western values are linked to their beliefs and worldview. And if ones fails, so does the other.

It is for this reason that, the 'values' of (the Western conception of) 'Human Right's', 'Freedom', 'Democracy', 'Democratic legitimacy' [unless you vote for an Islamic party], and (the Western concept of) 'Equality' - are so ubiquitous in global usage. Now anywhere you travel, you can intone these 'sacred' and 'holy' words, and instantly gain some moral currency.

After the ravages of colonialism upon the Muslim mind, many Muslims have taken to dangerously using this currency to explain Islam and demand justice for themselves.

This is because the Western worldview [or intellectual bank] highly esteems those words, and many Muslims have succumbed to the use of them, in order to placate the demands of Western societies. So we see Muslims use words like Democracy, Secularism, Feminism, Humanism and Freedom, not only to demand justice for themselves, but also as descriptions for aspects of Islam!

Such Muslims obliviously and naively use words impregnated with foreign and blatantly un-Islamic concepts, with the excuse (they tell themselves) that if they assign them a different meaning to the patiently obvious meanings they have, they will somehow be 'ok' to use.

Some even pre-fix the words with 'Islamic' in order to render them some how acceptable, like 'Islamic Democracy', or 'Islamic Feminism'. As the American saying goes, 'You can clean up a pig, put a ribbon on it's tail, spray it with perfume, but it is still a pig."

The Prophet Muhammed (saaw) is narrated to have ordered Muslims not to drink using wine cups, even if Muslims were to drink water by them. This is simply because of the connotations that wine cups have. Yet some Muslims are happy to use words that have connotations antithetical to Islam! This would be the equivalent of not just using wine cups, but drinking wine along with it - but calling it 'not-wine' [The Prophet Muhammed (saaw) is narrated to also have prophesied that some Muslims would literally do that too!].

So we see Muslims saying 'well, when I use the word democracy, I mean choosing the leaders, not denying God's right to rule'. This is despite the fact that the term 'demos kratos' means ultimate sovereignty and law making by the people, not from God. The simple response is to tell these Muslims that insist upon using the word, 'ok - but then EQUALLY you should be also happy to call for 'Theocracy 'too, since it means rule by God, which is something you claim you don't deny'. Only the truly innocent of mind, and sincere of heart would agree with you.

Muslims say 'Feminism just means rights for women' - despite the fact that all legal systems have given rights for women [the disputes are only in what those rights are]. Of course, Feminism actually [claims to] mean the absolute equality and identicality of the legal treatment of men and women (negating all gender roles), the independence of women from all responsibility and duty by dint of their gender, and gender sectarianism. The simple response is to tell these Muslims that insist upon using the word, 'ok - but then EQUALLY you should be also happy to call for 'Masculinism' too, since it means 'rights for men', which you surely believe in too right? Only the truly innocent of mind, and sincere of heart would agree with you.

Some Muslims say that 'Secularism' just means 'politics in the material world like building roads, making taps, education and schools etc'. They then claim that the historical Islamic Caliphate was 'secular', and the Prophet (saaw)'s rule was secular!!. However, Secularism actually means the separation of religious concerns, beliefs and worldviews from politics. This means the negation of all laws based upon morality that isn't rooted in physical considerations like physical harm/benefit. This means, infidelity, publicly insulting religious beliefs, dealing in interest banking, sexual exploitation of women, and drinking of alcohol all become legal.

No Secularist would accept or call for a Secular constitution that says 'if any fall into dispute, refer it to Allah and his messenger for judgment', yet this was the constitution of Madinah!

Building roads, taps, schools etc, are not neutral acts, or non-religious acts, but are based upon the motivation of the ideology that demands these things to be built. If a government built a road because it believed it is God's Will, then THAT IS NOT A SECULAR ACTION.

Besides, no government builds a road just because it is natural to do so. For thousands and thousands of years, most governments never built roads [except being states like the Romans, or the Islamic Caliphate]. A government would build a road either because they possess a worldview (e.g. like Communism, Liberalism, or Islam) that demands the state should ensure people's safety and efficiency of travel that would maximise some value the ideology reveres. Although a government may build a road, because everyone else is doing it [i.e. 'its the modern thing to do'], or to facilitate its own Army to travel quickly [i.e. as the romans did]. The simple response is to tell these Muslims that insist upon using the word, 'ok - but then EQUALLY you should be also happy to call for, and use the phrase, 'Religious government', because according to you, Religious government would surely call for the same things e.g. roads, taps, schools, bridges etc wouldn't it? Again, Only the truly innocent of mind, and sincere of heart would agree with you.

Some Muslims call for Humanism claiming it means 'only look after the rights of Humans'. But this too is naive and false. For Humanism refers to a human centric worldview, where Humans and 'this life' are the primary concern of thought, and not anything else, including God. That's why virtually all Humanists today are Atheists. If Atheism is their creed (aqeedah), then Humanism is the religion (deen) of this creed. The simple response is to tell these Muslims that insist upon using the word, 'ok - but then EQUALLY you should be also happy to use the word 'Divine Law' since it would also call for rights for humans, albeit under a God centred worldview. Again, Only the truly innocent of mind, and sincere of heart would agree with you.

Of course, if these Muslims were truly sincere in their use of these terms, 'as long as they give them an 'acceptable' meaning', then lets see if they would also be happy to use the following terms, along with their new 'meanings' [i.e. excuses]:

Islamic Polytheism - 'it just means' belief in a God, with many names

'Islamic' Fascism - 'it just means' strength through unity'

'Islamic' Communism - 'It just means' respecting community values

'Islamic' Atheism - 'It just means' negating false idols, not negating the One transcendent God

'Islamic' Idolatry - 'It just means' honouring Muslim heroes from the present and past, as role models and celebrity 'idols', but not in the literal sense

'Islamic' Racism - 'It just means' that we honour the the race of Adam (as)

'Islamic' Satanism - 'It just means' that we believe in a concept of the Devil, and guard against his works'

'Islamic' Trinitarianism - 'Is just means' that we believe in three aspects of God, the Tawheed al Rububiyah, Tawheed Uluhiyyah and Asma' wa siffat.

Of course, all these new terms are absurd, and we'd laugh at anyone who'd be so foolish as to use them, despite attributing to them seemingly benign explanations. But this are no different then using 'Islamic Feminism', 'Islamic Secularism', 'Islamic Democracy' and 'Islamic Humanism' - which are all equally absurd for a Muslim to use, and equally derisory.

As Muslims, we must reject the false intellectual currency we are told to use. We should not use borrowed words which have a widely understood, and unIslamic meaning, but rather we should use words which are supplied to us from Islam itself, or at the very least (for non-Arabic speakers) the best translations of linguistic equivalents in foreign languages e.g. Deen = 'worldview/Ideology', Aqeedah = 'Creed'. This is because if Muslims use Western words which are loaded with a particular meaning, these then become a prelude to believing in Western concepts. This is how the West spreads its ideology. It is equivalent of teaching Arab Christians to use the word 'Tawheed' to describe their monotheism. After a generation or two, none of them would believe in the Trinity was literal anymore!

So let us give back to the West their intellectual currency, for surely it bares the stamp of their own worldview upon it, and we should keep for ourselves our own intellectual currency supplied to us by God in the Quran and Sunnah. This is the key to keeping our beliefs pure, and ensuring we derive correct intellectual conceptions from our own worldview without distortion.

As famously (allegedly) narrated of Jesus in the New Testament (Mark 12:15-17):

'Should we pay or shouldn't we?" But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him'.

I wonder why this post was allowed here. Religion and way of life is a choice, stop using christianity and western world as a back to your selfish criticism. We christian preach and leave the people to decide. You can force the horse to the strem but can't force it to drink. There is never I time I reach a muslim thread and won't see christian ands western world. Its not a religious competition Mr man. Let the people be the judge of their decisions, and just write what you feel and leave christianity and western worlds. They didn't come to the mosque and drag muslims to use dollar.

Romance / Re: My Elder Brother's Fiancée Is In love With Me by avr247: 5:27pm On Jun 02, 2013
Chocboyslim: Honestly, i don't know what to do.....My elder bro wife to be is dying for me & my only brother who trusted me so much never notice it.

All this started when i celebrated my birthday last year & my elder bro funded everything such as drinks,foods etc, except the cake & the party house decoration which was funded by his fiancee. She even bought me a 'Rolex stone watch' as a birthday gift right before my brother.

I never knew that she had feelings for me then, until one fateful morning, when she blew it open by sending me 'morning love texts' confessing that she loves me & will do anything to make me happy. First time i saw the text, i thought it was a mistake, that she wanted to send it to my bro but when i call to confirm, she told me that the text was for me. At first i couldn't say anything, i was speechless, never believed it until when i met her one on one in my bro absent that she make it clearer to me that she was madly in love with me & even ended it up with a hot kiss.

Honestly, my brother's fiancee is truly beautiful that no man can resist her easily & my bro who trusted me so much never noticed dis.......

what should i do? Should i make this known to my bro or should i keep it secret & enjoy her ?

Pls am confused now, need your advise!

Education / Re: How I Was Scammed By A Jamb Official by avr247: 2:53pm On May 20, 2013
Cynthia joseph: How I Was Scammed By A Fake And Wicked Jamb Official

Hello Nairalanders.
My name is Cynthia Joseph, am 17 years old and i would like to share my jamb story with you guys, so other people will not be deceived as i was deceived

I wrote jamb last year while i was still in ss3 and i got 204, i was just testing my ability so i did not take the jamb serious when my dad saw the result he said wow.. am sure my baby would make 250 next year.

This year jamb exam was to hold on April but due to the fact that i was at home after my waec i have started reading and preparing for jamb since December 2012, My course is economics and i was sitting for maths, English,commerce and economics. I read my commerce and economics text book 6 times before the jamb examination. And i attended jamb lessons to support myself in english and maths.

A day to the exam i was very confident that i would murder all the questions that will come out in jamb and yes i did but to my greatest disappointment i go 182. I checked my result in 3 cyber-cafe because it was so hard for me to believe it was my result, i cried and cried but the crying did not change anything.
My parents were not disappointed they were just surprised that i got that score but they said its God's doing that i should wait for next year.. That was the saddest sentence i have ever heard in my life.
When my neighbor check his own he scored 215, he was so shocked he thought jamb made a mistake but what made him believe it was his result was because he used CHOKES.

The night before the exam we were all seated in our compound so he told me that he will not sleep tonight, i asked why and he said he his waiting for chokes i laughed and said 'do you know that Jamb is the only examination that the answers don't get leaked?' I was wrong.. Out of curiosity i stayed with him so i could see the answers he was expecting, by 11pm he got English, by 2am commerce and economics entered.. He said maths was going to leak by 8am in the morning.

He had a very bad handwriting so I helped him copied all the prepared answers from his cell phone to a small piece of paper when i finished i advised him not to use it that it might be wrong and how will he know that the paper types will correspond? he replied by saying 'na today' He told me to copy my own down so we can use it together i declined.

If i only i could see the future i would have accepted his offer and use the prepared answers.

Two weeks after the examination i came across a website www.upgradejamb..com/ When i saw the website i was shocked and i showed it to my elder brother who was a graduate he discouraged me to forget about the site, that it is against the law, he went further saying if i get caught i will spend some years in jail,but i laughed it off

I read all what was written on the website and it was so perfect that i believed every word that was written there, So i called the phone number and a guy picked it up, i told him that i saw his number on a jamb site and that i will like to upgrade my jamb score from 182 to 205, he said that's not a problem and he would help me do it in 5 hours after payment. he requested for my jamb details which i sent and he told me that when i pay the money i should call him..

I was kinda happy and i decided not to tell my parents, i will use the upgraded result as a surprise to them, i brought out all my savings it was 3,500 naira i could put together so i lied to my elder bother that i want to learn how to type and the typist requested for 1,500 naira. he gave it to me immediately and said after i learn it i will be more useful to him and i will have something doing.

The next day i headed to the bank and i payed the sum of 5,000 naira into his account Account Name: Kingsley Imoh
Account Number: 0043751340
I called him and he said he got an alert that after 5hours i should go and re-print my result. Unfortunately when i went to the cyber cafe i was told my jamb card has been used many times that i need to get a new jamb card, i was sad because i don't know where to get the money. Actually the man selling jamb stuffs is my church member so i went to get the card on credit with the belief that when my parent see the result they will be very happy and they would pay for the card.

But to my greatest surprise i checked my result and nothing changed i waited for the next day checked again and i still saw my same score.. i called him and he did not picked, i sent him messages he replied saying its a database complication that i should wait for an hour and check back, i waited for two hours and checked but i still saw the jamb score, i called him but his phone was not reachable . Till now his phone is not reachable it was that moment i realized i have been scammed. I took the courage and i told my parents what happened. i showed the the website and they said its not my fault that even if they were the one they would fall for it. So they paid for the jamb card and enrolled me into a computer school and i apologized to my elder bro for lying to him.

Its not like i want a refund or something. I just want people to know that this upgrading stuff is not real and i wish someone can caught the owner of that site and lock him up cause i believe i am not his only victim and i will not be his last.

Thanks for reading and you all can ask me any questions you like but no insults please. check out the website www.upgradejamb..com/
And see if you won't fall for it

Dis girl u r a boffon! U saw chokes u no use, u claim righteousness. But wen u see upgrade u rush am. Better choose whr u belong, stop acting fake. Be good or bad don't sit on the fence. Na God catch u

Afam4eva: Some of the comments on this post supports what Osazie is saying. The same Osazie that people were praising to high heavens before and some people even called for Keshi's head when he excluded the lad is the same person some people are abusing and asking "Who's Osazie"? I noticed the same thing with Ikechukwu Uche which majority of Nigerians called the best Nigerian striker and even player before the nations cup but people used their mouth to rubbish him when he failed to perform. Some people even said he's finished, that he should retire. That's the story of Nigeria and Nigerians. They're your friends only when things are rosy for you. The moment you make a slight mistake, you'll become the worst thing to happen to Nigeria after Satan and Abacha. Tufiakwa unu.
Well I saw a lot of truth in what you wrote,in the case of ikechukwu uche, I have never praise that guy cos he has never impressed me. The only striker that impressed me after yekini was chrisantus of yemi teller's under 17. But recently am so impressed with emenike cos of his diehard urge to score even if it warrants injury. Uche has been an injury-lookout. I was ready to shoot him when he played in the final. That zeal wasn't there, even musa had so much zeal he 'stumbled on the pitch' and missed a clear chance to score. I didn't even get mad cos his intents were of good. Uche is a right-out.

If you have made it clear you won't have anything to do with her again and she still insists on seeing you, threaten to report her to her husband. You may want to bring it up with your wife too so that she'll be your witness in case ex decides to pull stunts.

And when you leave the town you're working, don't give her your home or office address. I don't know why you agreed to meet her in the first place. Let an ex remain an ex! I don't know how people reason, calling someone an ex yet sharing phone numbers and entertaining calls. This is what eventually happens in most of such relationships.

Then he procceeded to try to sell me some of their banK products and in the same vein propose marriage. I laughed that day in his face to where I almost fainted. I had never experienced such a thing in my life. I agree to go for potential, if you yourself have potential. But be true to yourself, if the guy is just not it, bone potential. Abeg, all these retired scammers cannot have potential, let's be real. They will forever sh*it where they make a living. Is it a curse? I really don't know. Honestly, if someone stole from my mum, that will be the end. Would have just packed the load at the front door in the middle of the night so my mum, and by extension all my family members won't hear. Will just say he left. Chei! This is too much o. Do I blame those who marry for comfort? No. If you have been comfortable all your life, its kind of hard to enter struggling mode especially in naija. Please I hope those preaching potential consider that most of the people reading this live in naija. Me, na love and comfort too. Would rather have married a farmer than a man that begs and lives pretentious or on his father's name. All in the name of potential.
Its like you don't know the meaning of potentials. It means what you can do on your own with your creative ideas. It doesn't mean your father's name or wealth.

imonpoint: Abeg let's stop deceiving ourselves. We all marry for comfort except if probably the woman Is pregnant n d man is tryin to b gentleman by havin to marry her, other than that its comfort all d way. If its love, its translate to comfort cos u bliv only your loved one can comfort and satisfy you. Also for those that doesn't bliv in love,they substitute with money. Life is about choice, what works for you may b a no-no for me. As for me, I married a wonderful guy dats struggling,cos he's my love, plus he's God fearing and he gives me comfort.
Meanwhile learn not to judge anyone for the decisions they make. Be it money or love, its stil a big risk anyway
At the end its all love. Any other risk like money is bound to fail

10000AD till now, same story. Economy has little to do with. Love is all that matters

debrief08: @ Ifihearam, I apologise if my story sounded one sided. Madam CC and Greatgod addressed the issue of women who marry for comfort and I only added another dimension fron the Original Posters submission that It cuts both ways.

We have severally addreseed and even adviced ladies who do such, I am ever an advocate for hard
working women and not leaches who think all they need do is open their legs and arms.
I am far from biased.
It is just shameful what happens, and believe me a lot of women get scammed because they want to start up with a man with potential.

@ Gikkis1406, yes I am talking of able bodied men, well dressed, smooth talkers well groomed, always with great business ideas but never seeing any business plan through, They seem to "know" everyone,always have something "Big" in the pieline and nothing in reality.

They go from place to place hoping to "hit it big" yet despising humble beginings, they have everyones contact and phone numbers and their main ambition is to "hit it big". They look for a hard working lady to bankroll their life style or a lady from a rich background, while they move around building castles in the air.
If so many young married women in Abuja open up to you, You will faint. The sad part is even when such men get one small contract with which if they plan properly they can stabilise they will spend the money clob hopping, declaring chapamyne doing "big boy" and buying the biggest car which they will sell again a few months after the money clears.

It is not however a generalisation of Abuja Men, God forbid, far from it, for most part Abuja Men are hard working and good. The stable, humble non flashy ones.
They respect you and respect them selves but this brand of comfort searchers dey plenty.
They meet a lady and their first priority is where she lives and workks.
If she lives in Nyanya she is out of it and if she doesn't work, but if she works with a big organisation and lives in Maitama, Utako, Asokoro and Wuse 2 ehnnn, The gist will flow

Everything you wrote here are ingredients meant to cook for lies for greedy girls. If you are hard working as a woman, you will know when words are marble and when words are action
