nobody associate partner with God because you can't divide a man from his word,they are ONE .

Abraham worship the true God and pass the covenant to isaac,and isaac unto jacob that how the it goes on until the promise is fulfilled in christ jesus. God sanction the sending away of ishmeal because His covenant was not with him (ishmeal) God only made him a great nation but the prophetic race was with isaac (quran 29:27) there is no way two sons can have the same blessing,example of this is the story of jacob and esau, isaac bless jacob although according to tradition the blessing suppose to go to esau because he was the senior but because the prophetic race pass on to jacob, God only bless esau with riches just like he bless ishmeal. So two sons cannot have the same blessing. According to muslims muhammad is from the descendant of ismeal so he cannot be a prophet from the true God.

That why the islamic creed say,lahila ah hilala hi muhammadu rasulilahi which mean I believe in allah and. Muhammad is his messenger. In other word muhammad is the only prophet in islam.

This is a blatant attempt to mislead people. How did you arrive at the "in other word" part of the translation? You quote the verses and add your own little piece to it.
Don't you know that "Thou shalt not add nor remove from The Message"? Or have you become a Quran scholar already?

Any muslim with understanding of the religion knows that the Message includes the following

1. Belief in the Oneness of God
2. Messengers and Prophets of God
3. Revelations (Quran)
4. Angels
5. Day of Judgement
6. Predestination


Open your heart and seek the truth. Pray to God for guidance and May Allah have mercy upon you and me too.

@lafflaff
I went to a Federal school too, in the North. Prior to that I had minimal contact with that many kids from other tribes and I have not been indoctrinated to believe the worst about people for the fact that they are different; thank God.

I saw the good, bad and ugly of chritians, muslims, pagans, Yoruba, hausa, ibo, ijaw, urhobo, Fulani, jukun, kilba to name a few. I could not say by statistics that one group of people were better, worse or uglier than the other based simply on their hometown or religion. This is the aim (or should be) of federal schools.
Unfortunately for someone who at age 9, 10 or 11 has already been brainwashed into believing the worst about a certain group simply because they are not his/her group, the eyes to see people as people are greatly impaired and diminished. SOme people know it in their hearts but prejudice clouds their reasoning and they speak against what they know to be true.



To answer your question about the Prophets and Messenger who were Muslim, I have pasted a few verses of the Holy Quran here.
Qur'an 4:163-165
163 Lo! We inspire thee (Muhammad) as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted unto David the Psalms;
164 And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses;
165 Messengers of good cheer and off warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise.

Qur'an 6:84-86
84 And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob; each of them We guided; and Noah did We guide aforetime; and of his seed (We guided) David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good.
85 And Zachariah and John and Jesus and Elias. Each one (of them) was of the righteous.
86 And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot. Each one of them did We prefer above (Our) creatures,

Qur'an 21:85-88
85 And (mention) Ishmael, and Idris (Enoch), and Dhul-Kifl (Ezekiel). All were of the steadfast.
86 And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the righteous.
87 And (mention) Dhun Nun (Jonah), when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no God save Thee. Be Thou glorified! I have been a wrong-doer.
88 Then We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus We save believers.

Qur'an 7:73
And to (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other God save Him. A wonder from your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! this is the camel of Allah, a token unto you; so let her feed in Allah's earth, and touch her not with hurt lest painful torment seize you.

Qur'an 26:123-125
123 (The tribe of) Aad denied the messengers (of Allah),
124 When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
125 Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

Qur'an 7:85
To the Madyan people We sent Shu'aib one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah; Ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (sign) from your Lord! Give just measure and weight nor withhold from the people the things that are their due; and do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you if ye have faith.

Qur'an 21:107
And We did not send you (O Muhammad) except as a Mercy to the worlds.

Some, not all, of these men of God were mentioned in today's Bible;I added the link so that you can see more there.. This website used Picthall and Yusuf Ali translations

@malvis. I have no wish to argue with you. The Quran is free from contradictions, you can take that to the bank.
You quoted from the Quran but you failed to realize that the first man worshiped God alone, associating no partners with Him. It is the same for every prophet or messenger sent to a people. They give the message but as time goes on, people begin to deviate and erect edifices/symbols/images to represent God. This is idolatry. The message becomes polluted with these inventions. The average man wants to see/feel/touch to believe. Allah is The Unseen and absolute belief in Him is the only way.

But d fact remains dat BUHARI is too old.if elected he might die or go senile b4 d ist term elapses.GEJ is best candidate for now

In your dreams.
Would you like him to manage the affairs of your life f or just one week?

@malvis and ifean, I understand your dilemma because you are bound to continue this way if you persist in following websites and sources that have a single goal of turning you away from the truth of Islam. I am only to invite you because it would be ridiculous for me to find information about Christianity from an atheist website. When you are ready, please get a copy of the Quran and find out About Islam from people like Yusuf Estes, Nouman Ali khan and mufti menk. It will broaden your horizon. I wish you well.
@lafflaff, please be patient with me, I do not know the verses off hand and do not wish to misquote anything but I saw your question, it's a good one

Some lessons have not yet been learned. Some posters here are still crying about northern ticket versus south eastern ticket. Muslim/muslim versus christian/Christian vs muslim/christians versus Christian /christian ticket. Wahala dey o. In this current Era of GEJ, the north has fared the worst. They have the largest voting bloc. No way Jonathan could have become president (even with the rigging) without buy in front the north.
How many lives and counting? How many cities and counting?

Fine, some people are sabotaging Jonathan because he is not from the north. They were the same people sabotaging him when he was governor, abi?
Let us review his achievements as a governor, running away from debates, failure to declare his assets etc and tell me why you do not recognize incompetence when it is slapping you right, left and center.

Evathyst:
Are U for real? Jesus!


For a Man who established a TV station(TV continental), a radio station(Radio continental and Adaba fm), Hotel(Oriental hotel), Estates. Ds are d few dt are known to an 'outsider' like me.

Now, help me calculate d number of staff on his payroll? Den u'll know he has personally contributed his own quota towards reducing unemployment in ds country. I'm not saying He's a saint, but if every other 'alleged' corrupt politician creates one or two establishments in ds country, imagine how unemployment would be drastically reduced.

Finally, can u please point out wat ur paymaster(GEJ) has done to alleviate poverty in ds country? Either as a president or as a concerned Nigerian? U TANoids are just too pathetic to be taken seriously


I shake my head 4 U!

In his village, forget about country for now.

@ifeann
You missed the point or I assumed wrong. Abraham (pbuh) was a muslim. He practiced Islam, so did Moses, Job, Solomon, Jesus and all the other prophets of God (peace of God be upon them all). My post was therefore very relevant. I was hoping to motivate you to step back and find out information for yourself.

lafflaff123:
My problem with write ups like this is that they cherry pick the good side, and the most important FACT out of the FACTS is missing and that is.

How did ISLAM start?

Just in case you forgot, so let me remind you. There was an Egyptian slave named Hagar who bore Abraham a son outside wedlock called Ishmael and the rest, you know is history.

You know the definition of a person born outside wedlock right?

Only if Abraham had used the WITHDRAWAL method, or even used a condom if it was existing then, we would have no Boko Haram, ISIS, AL-QAIDA and all those fancy crazy names these guys have this days. Islam is a peaceful religion, but the anger in them is something that has puzzled a lot of people.

One of them today in Austrialia just got killed, trying to kill 17 people in an hostage take, while holding a sign from the window that says there is only one Allah. As if anybody was doubting that.

You do know that Abraham (pbuh) is the beloved friend of God, I hope. Why then do you blaspheme him and his progeny? He, Abraham, (pbuh) was a firm believer and was never among the idolators. May Allah guide you, amin

@usermane. Its truly amazing to observe the lengths that you go to for some of the things you post here. I jus t wonder what your goals are ultimately.
You cannot seem to make your mind up about the Quran, Islam or Muslims. May Allah safeguard us and grant us knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Amin.

Anomnity:
When your cover has been blown you folks resort to insults.I'll not descend so low to join issues with you.Since you are bent on insults the discussion should end here.But I'll leave you with this.Go and check the relevant verses that your type in Iraq,Palestine,Iraq,boko haram and ISIS are quoting to justify their bloodshed.

You made a claim and gatiano asked you a very logical question. You failed to answer and he called you out on that. Seems fair to me. You want to mislead people and if that is not the case, share those verses from the Quran where Allah commanded muslims to kill for no reason. Also, if you are a Christian, do you know what the Bible says about liars? Or if you are an atheist, is there no moral compass that advises you to be truthful? It's better to be silent than speak of that of which you have absolutely no knowledge. And if you must speak, ask questions to gain some knowledge.

sammied:
You mean I have heard God speak to me? Absolutely YES...and I don't expect anybody to believe it...wether cessationanist, pentecostal, charismatic or pagan...I am none of those..
And the next question will be: what voice did he use?....well the same voice he used when he spoke to people throughout the entire bible....from Genesis to Revelation.

Haaaaa! Abeg any emoticon for open mouth.
Found it....

WinsomeX:
Salient Points from Conrad Mbewe's message:

1. The whole message was looking at the African Charismatic Movement and its excesses.
2. His text, John 17:16ff, reveal that if the church had remained faithful to the Word, the bible, it will not be in dire straight she is in now. Every error is pursuing truth outsides scriptures.
3. He blames African Charismatic errors on the messages coming from their counterpart in the West.
4. He teaches that Charismatism sits well with Africans because it is an easy adaptation of our own animistic beliefs. Animism is basically "power play" btw good and evil and Charismatics also make these emphasis.
5. He says that Africans buy the message of God wants to solve your problem. And see Christianity as a means to this end. He shows that this animistic manner of Christianity has replaced the biblical one of repentancd, faith and holiness.
6. He explains that true spirituality is reverence and obedience to the bible.
7. He Believes that the only solution to errors is biblical truths.

I will then go on here to present John MacArthur opening speech.

Thank you for the summary. I tried to follow MacArthur ' s but he seemed to loop almost endlessly. Perhaps the video might have sounded better explanatory

Walimah- celebration or what you call reception. While Nikka is marriage. May Allah bless your union, lertee. You are indeed a beautiful bride. 9 months make we come chop amala for twin boys o

VisaOfficer:
I apologize -- I should have added that after you send the e-mail requesting an appointment, we then reply to you and suggest an appointment date. I thought that that was spelled out in the automatic reply you received when you sent the e-mail to us. Next time I'll be sure to state this all more clearly.

Thanks for your response. The initial response I received to my email to LagosIV@state.gov indicated any Friday at 0700 except public holidays and except last Friday of the month. After this initial visit, then the applicant would be given an appointment for an interview. I believe the directions you gave were accurate, we just had an awful experience with the employees at the gate. All the email response that I have received even since then do not give any directives other than the above. This time, my dad will print the emails to go with him and hopefully everything works out well.

Very good summation. Thank you to all the brothers and sisters who have contributed to this topic. May Allah increase us in good, Amin

Dear VO,

Thank you for your response. I followed your instructions to a T. My father arrived at the IV inquiry gate but was turned back. He could not get a word in. They insisted that he send an email to the address "LagosIV@state.gov". I was contacted by phone and I told my dad to print out the correspondence which I had exchanged with the US Embassy where the instruction said to come on a Friday at 0700 for an initial determination after which he would be given another date for the interview.
He returned and by this time it was close to10.00 am and he was told to return next Friday at 0630am. I am not really sure why it went this way but I sent emails to the lagosIV@state.gov to explain the experience that my father had. He travelled from out of state and had to spend the night at a hotel in order to be on time. I am not sure what we did incorrectly.
All the same, thank you for your advice.

VisaOfficer:
First, send an e-mail to LagosIV@state.gov and request an appointment. Here's what we tell people:

Returning resident visa applicants are required to pay a non-refundable filing fee of US$180 and to submit a duly completed DS-117 form. The filing fee is NOT the visa application fee; this fee is for the determination of returning resident status. In the initial interview, please submit:

• Completed DS-117
• $180 application fee
• Proof of lawful permanent residence (i.e., form I-551 or “green card,” etc.)
• Nigerian passport
• Proof of travel outside of the U.S. (i.e., airline tickets, boarding passes, passport stamps, etc.)
• Proof of ties to the U.S. (i.e., tax returns, pictures, school records, utility bills, etc.)
• Proof that prolonged stay in Nigeria was for reasons beyond the applicant’s control (i.e., medical incapacitation, death of family member, etc.)

Payment of the filing fee does not guarantee that returning resident status will be approved. The decision of status can only be made after a review of the returning resident application and supporting documents, and an interview by a consular officer.

If approved for returning resident status, the applicant will be instructed to complete the online DS-260 form and to make an appointment for a second interview. The applicant must still meet all other documentary and legal requirements to qualify for a new immigrant visa, including payment of the immigrant visa processing fee of US$205. At the second interview, please submit:

• $205 application fee
• Proof of lawful permanent residence (i.e., form I-551 or “green card,” etc.)
• Nigerian passport
• Two passport-size photos with a white background
• Birth certificate (original and photocopy)
• Marriage certificate, if married (original and photocopy)
• Medical report (from an accredited panel physician in Lagos)
• Police report
• I-134 Affidavit of Support from a sponsor in the United States

If returning resident status is not approved, a new immigrant visa petition may be able to be filed on behalf of the applicant.

egopersonified:
Dear nairaland family, I regret to announce the death of my husband on thursday the 4th of Dec, 2014. May his gentle soul find eternal rest. Amen.

So sorry for your loss.

From God we come and to Him we return. May God grant you the strength to bear the loss, Amin

Assalam alaykum

The answer to your dilemma lies right there in your post.

1. In your hear, you desire to become better, you do not like the bad things you did in the past and wish to improve on your current behavior.
2. Your question about 5 daily prayers; Yes, Yes, Yes; please do your 5 daily prayers. Try and see how each day becomes easier for you insha Allah. Those acts that you are not proud of will slowly become less desirable to you.
3. Your reason for wanting to be good should be purified only for the pleasure of Allah, after that , everything else you seek (job, wife, health, kids, money, whatever) will come easy to you insha Allah.

May Allah ease our paths, Amin

Thank you for this offer. Although I was allocated slot A16, my name is not on the list. I hereby willingly relinquish the assigned slot. Good luck

I was given A16. I am looking forward to getting more information from WABI

Dunno. Just that tourist health predisposed one to DVT - pe and stroke.
Maybe it killed those people, maybe not. I don't know . Sorry if my post sounded like I had data

Abuamam:
Ah! behind the curtain shows a glimmer of the true Pastorkun. Stop pretending.

Besides, your CAN leader is helping us to speak up. Nothing more to add to his eloquent words of wisdom.

Thank you brother and all the other muslims who have responded. IMO, OP and his cohorts are just resuming the Sunday bashing of muslims and Islam. They don't really want to hear about the condemnation of the terrorist acts; they are more interested in presenting Islam the way they want everyone to see it.

@op. If you were not conflicted about the whole concept, why did you raise this question again?

For the sake of God, I will answer. Jesus (peace be upon him )is not Almighty God. He was sent with a message to mankind to worship one God, uphold the laws and stop twisting the message.

BTW, calm down oh you who claim to be christians! We can have differing opinions, it is not christ like to insult people for not agreeing with you.

I tried to buy at this rate but was told they would start selling in January. Currently it is 1800 so how are you able to sell at 1000

Arabic Ajami removed in N100 note, replaced by Jewish Symbol "star of David". Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC cries out.
http://tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/22360-muslim-body-alleges-jewish-symbol-on-new-n100-note

Salam alaykum brother. I am troubled by this. Is the symbol really the Jewish star of David? If the answer is no, kindly modify your post and explain the actual source of the symbol.
Muslims must never descend to the levels of peddling falsehood. Removing the Ajami letters happened but the inscription image is not a match to the Jewish symbol.
At first I saw it on Facebook and did not believe it but when I saw it sent out by MURIC, I paid attention but was really disappointed to see that the images do not match

Diffdeef:
what's this one saying? take your time and read again.

PastorKun:
Are you on this planet The assertions the OP made are in public domain and we read about it everyday. No data is needed to arrive at that conclusion and even honest muslims admit and are embarrassed by this fact. Fact remains that the overwhelming majority of terrorists globally are islamic extremists.

I have read it more than once. It is an asinine argument by the bottommost dregs of the society. Not an intellectual thought behind it. Continue to repeat this and you will find people, muslims and non muslims, who are capable of intellectual discourse, mercifully tell you that this is absolutely flawed.
Your choice! Do you emancipate yourself from mental slavery or do you continue to wallow in ignorance? Just cut down on sharing it. What you have posted is incorrect. GO to the US department of homeland security. The collation of data is totally against what you have said. If you have other sources of data that shows any different, kindly share.

But please stop throwing out lies pretending they are facts.

@OP. DO you have data to support the title of this thread?
Or is this just sensationalism again?
Unfortunately for you and your type, you only mislead them and yourself. Take time to find out the truth so it can set you free or at least make you stop peddling lies.

The aforementioned message is an example of the depth of feeling that exists for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui in different parts of the world; awareness of Aafia’s plight, and empathy for her struggle, is growing significantly, both here and abroad.

While I fully understand and appreciate the passion behind Kay Tayyib Quadri’s defense of her sister in Islam - both for the sake of accuracy and to safeguard Quadri’s well-intentioned argumentation – a number of corrections/clarifications are in order. Over the past decade a certain mythology (compounded by sometimes innocent, and sometimes deliberate, untruths) has surrounded the personality of the former [secretly held] Bagram Detention Center Prisoner 650, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.

It is very important – both for the effectiveness and for the integrity of struggle for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s freedom – that we dispel these untruths (on both sides of the equation) whenever possible.

1. Aafia does not have a PhD from Harvard, honorary or otherwise. Her sister (Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui) is the one who received neurology training from Harvard University.

2. Aafia does not have 144 degrees and/or certificates in neurology. Her degrees are a Masters from MIT and a PhD from Brandeis in Cognitive Neuroscience – which, as I understand it, is very different from Neurology (a medical specialty). Aafia Siddiqui’s doctoral thesis was on how children learn through imitation.

3. While Aafia has received numerous awards and certificates over the course of her highly impressive academic life and community service, to characterize these as honorary degrees would be a huge stretch to say the least. It is also worth noting that in addition to her secular academic achievement, Aafia is also a committed student and practitioner of Islam, who, among other things, memorized The Noble Qur’an.

4. Aafia has not yet lost her memory, but over 10 ½ years of systemically brutal incarceration has taken its toll (physically and mentally).

5. Aafia is incarcerated in an institution comprising female prisoners only (as far as we know), but men are employed as guards, and in other positions of authority at FMC Carswell; and there have been, according to reports, serial rapists and other abusers among Carswell personnel.

With that said, while there are significant differences between Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and Nelson “Madiba” Mandela, there are also a number of thought-provoking similarities. Some of the same forces that erroneously labeled Mandela a terrorist erroneously labeled Aafia “terrorist” as well.

Mandela served 27 years as a political prisoner; on March 30, 2014, Aafia would have completed 11 years of political confinement. On the day of their sentencing, both made statements of principled resolution. Mandela became a huge symbol of resistance for the oppressed masses of South Africa, and eventually for freedom-loving people the world over; while Aafia has become a huge symbol of resistance for the oppressed masses of Pakistan, and is steadily growing as an international symbolof how the so-called “war on terrorism” has gone terribly awry.

Nelson Mandela was committed to armed struggle in defense of his people’s freedom (if that’s what it took), and he never backed away from that position. He also demonstrated his willingness – after 27 years of unjust imprisonment – to be an instrument for reconciliation in a post-apartheid South Africa.

Aafia Siddiqui, for her part, on the day of her sentencing – after spending five years of torturous [secret] imprisonment overseas, followed by two and half years of brutal pre-trial confinement in the United States – pleaded to her supporters to forgive those who had committed these injustices against her; and to even forgive the Zionist judge (Richard M. Berman) who callously and unjustifiably condemned her to 87 years of confinement.

In my humble opinion, Nelson Mandela and Aafia Siddiqui share a rare internal quality of goodness and faith-based resistance; a quality that reminds us all of how truth and justice crushed into the earth will rise again, and again, and again. For most of his active life Nelson “Madiba” Mandela was castigated as a criminal terrorist, but he died the most celebrated person on the planet (in these contemporary times)!

I sincerely believe that Aafia Siddiqui will also have her day. (Surely ALLAH knows best!)

babs01:
You don't have to be with men only before you can be sexually abused

You posted an article. Should we disbelieve what you said/posted? It is not right for a muslim to spread news that is incorrect. I only thought it was odd that the US would place her in jail with men. I did not imply that she was not abused in any form.

BTW, I read about her story, the Pakistani authorities and her husband are quite culpable too in her ordeals.

Above all, May Allah have mercy upon her and all other innocent people who are being oppressed worldwide. May He grant them succor.

Finally, take home lesson, do your research; I don't know where you got the number of degrees that she has.
