BUHARI’S HEALTH: THE CHOICE BEFORE NIGERIANS



6th March, 2017

PRESS RELEASE:

BUHARI’S HEALTH: THE CHOICE BEFORE NIGERIANS


The continued absence of Nigeria’s No. 1 citizen, President Muhammadu Buhari, is causing apprehension in the country. It has also given room for speculations about the condition of his heath.



The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) rejects the Federal Government’s grandstanding on the issue. We equally denounce the diabolical speculations and death wishes flying around the length and breadth of the country. It is all much ado about nothing. It is an act of bad faith.



We refuse to accept the Federal Government’s (FG) claim that the president is hale and hearty. That sounds more like tales by moonlight. Neither shall we give credit to advocatus diaboli who wish him dead or enemies of peace who claim that Buhari had died.



As for those who assume that the president was poisoned, they are simply playing a game of chance. We will not jump to conclusions until we see palpable proof. To what end is the whole furore anyway? What is the big deal if a president is sick? Haven’t presidents of other countries been sick before? Are presidents not human beings? We can cite examples from the world’s biggest democracy.



US presidents have been sick while in office.Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) suffered a severe stroke that left him incapacitated throughout his presidency. Yet He remained in office till the end of his term in 1921.Diagnosed with polio in 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D Roosevelt (1933-1945) still served for twelve good years though he could not stand or walk without support.  Using a wheelchair in private, he never disclosed the full extent of his health condition.


Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961) suffered heart attack in 1955 as a result of which he was hospitalized for several weeks. He also did a surgery some months later to treat Crohn’s disease and in late 1957 suffered another stroke that made him temporarily unable to speak. Yet he went ahead to win a second term after that.


John F Kennedy (1961 - 1963) had a chronic bone disease and was hospitalized nine times in his short two and a half year presidency but this was never revealed to the American public. George Bush (1989 – 1993) vomited and then fainted in front of cameras in 1992 while on a visit in Japan and heaven did not fall in America.


Now if about five of American presidents have been sick in office, what is wrong if Nigeria’s current president is also sick? Is he made of iron? We are also tempted to ask, if Buhari dies, will it be the first time that a president will die? Yaradua died here in Nigeria. Murtala Muhammad died. Tafawa Balewa died.



Eight American presidents have died in office. Fourdied of natural causes: William Henry Harrison (1841), Zachary Taylor (1850), Warren Harding (1923) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1945). Four others were assassinated: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963).



The truth is that if Buhari dies today, his name will be written in letters of gold. It is the death of a hero primus inter pareil and the death of a reformer nulli secundus. Buhari is a dogged corruption fighter who came to rescue Nigerians from yam thieves. If he dies today he will leave an indellible record, an achievement difficult to match by his successor and a standard that is bound to create a yawning lacuna.


 

As for the fear that his death may lead to ethnic or religious war and over which some religious leaders are allegedly inciting their followership, I think it is due to wrong perception. Some people ask curious questions. They want to know why is it that only Muslim presidents die while in office: Tafawa Balewa (15thJanuary,1966), Muritala Muhammad (13th February, 1976) , General Sani Abacha (9th June, 1998) and Umaru Yaradua (5thMay, 2010).



But there is a historical inexactitude in this thinking because it has left out one Christian leader, General Aguiyi Ironsi, who died while in office on 29th July, 1966. So it is not only Muslim leaders who have died while in office. 



We also do not want to join issues with authors of conspiracy theories, particularly those who assume that Buhari had been poisoned. It is sheer guess work and I think we should leave that to the security agencies and medical experts handling Buhari’s medical tests. Those who did death-wish advertorials during the 2015 electioneering campaigns may also have questions to answer concerning the conspiracy theory. They may want to explain to Nigerians how much walk they gave their talk.



What should Nigerians do in the present circumstance? Nigerians need to relax on this whole issue. We also need to widen our horizon of knowledge. We need to know that what is happening to Buhari now has happened to many leaders in other countries before and it did not lead to any crisis. Buhari handed over properly and constitutionally before leaving the country and the Acting president is doing well. So there is no cause for alarm. Unless there is malice, the National Assembly has no choice but to key into the arrangement. 



Nigerians also need to show sympathy and understanding as their president battles with a poor health condition. They should not allow people whose hearts are filled with hate to brainwash and indoctrinate them.



For the avoidance of doubts, we declare that MURIC stands with Buhari not because he is a Muslim. Abacha was a Muslim yet we rose in rebellion against him for the actualization of June 12. Babangida is a Muslim but we mobilized activists against him to debilitate military dictatorship. Obasanjo is a Christian yet we supported his war against corruption. The records are there for all to see.



By extension, we are today supporting the Osinbajo presidency even though he is not a Muslim as long as he keeps up the pressure on looters and remains incorruptible like his boss. The issue should be good governance, not religion, not ethnicity.



MURIC stands with Buhari because he is rescuing poor Nigerians from the claws of a tiny cabal which has unjustly enriched itself from the sweat of the poor masses. This is the same tiny cabal which sentenced Nigerians to an epileptic power supply, sudden and painful deaths due to bad roads and poor public heath system, all occasioned by reckless corruption.



The same cabal subjected millions of Nigerians to a life of ignorance and illiteracy due to corruption-driven neglect of the education sector. Millions of Nigerians are starving today because the same cabal has arrogated our common wealth to itself. So why should any sensible Nigerian join this heartless class of people when the only man who had the liver to challenge them has a health problem?



To round up, we regard those who are comparing Osinbajo’s performance to that of Buhari as sheer idle gossipers and professional rumour mongers. Buhari knew the stuff Osinbajo was made of and that was why he picked him as his running mate in the first place. The presidency is a joint ticket and we wonder why anybody should be interested in disparaging and unreasonable comparisons. In any case, could there have been an Osinbajo without a Buhari?

@ OP, your observation is right. I wonder why the mods and supermods don't sanction the people you mention with their hateful and bigotry posts. They even haves guts to swear on Kalimah on Islamic section only to come and insult Islam and Muslims, yet their Christianity section is also full of such posts against Islam.

It can be so annoying but what do you expect from people like them? I think Muslims should just ignore them cos they are attention seekers. We should concentrate more on improving our Deen and our attitudes. Islam has come to stay and they are too small to quench it since Allah has perfected His Religion. May Allah give us the heart to tolerate them and may He reward them according to their actions here on earth and on d day of resurrection.

truthmans2012:
I never saw you answering those questions anywhere. The same excuse of having answered before was what you gave in my other thread 'Why Muslims Will Have No Excuse Before God". So, anytime you are unable to answer any question, all you do is claim you have answered before.

Self-deception is the worst offence you can commit against yourself. I'm very sure if you don't repent, you will soon find yourself in the hellfire allaah promised you. There you will remember nairaland.

Birds of the same feathers... do you think this act of yours will take you to paradise either? who are you to judge and assure someone that he'll find himself in hell?

Please find something worthwhile to do with your life and face your religion. Of what importance will the answers to the questions you've been raising do to your religion when you're not a Muslim. I'm sorry to inform you that Jesus never taught you to defame people like this. Go and learn your religion perfectly before you castigate others.

truthmans2012:
The earlier muslims on this forum renounce islam the better as there as so many unanswered questions.

I don't know what your problem is. I wonder why people like you have not been sanctioned in this forum. You always look for trouble everywhere and when people give it back to you, you call them all sort of names.

I wonder why a jobless person like you will go to Islam section and post your rubbish, yet the Christianity section where you're supposed to educate your fellow Christians are flooded with your hate and insightful posts about Islam. Is this how you're taught to propagate your religion?

At least if you have no job to do, you should be reasonable enough to know that these Muslims don't care about your opinion on their religion.

Why not concentrate on making the bad Christians good ones before fighting Muslims all over Nairaland as if that's your sole purpose here or are you being paid to do this?

The earlier you and your cronies desist from this your act (which I have no adjective for cos none of those adjectives could qualify your actions), the better for you. I wonder the kind of education you are giving to your fellow Christians when u've been abusing Islam and Muslims all your life and people like you are quick to shout "religious intolerance"

May it not be too late for you before you desist with your devilish act and find something reasonable and worthwhile to do with your life.

I'm out of here. Mind you, your insults are highly welcomed and will be appreciated since that's what you're known for.

Waalaikum Sallam Warahmotullah Wabarakatuh. Hope you'll find this helpful..

82344: Description of how to do ghusl for major impurity

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

How is major ablution done? There are differences of opinion in a number of madhhabs, so who should I follow?
How did the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) to minor and major ablution?.

Published Date: 2009-06-15


Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

You do not have to follow a particular madhhab; rather you have to ask a scholar whom you trust, one who is famous among the people for his knowledge and virtue, then follow the religious rulings that he explains to you. It does not matter if there are differences of opinion among the scholars concerning religious matters, because this is something that Allaah has willed by His wisdom, and the Muslim who is not able to work out the truth (ijtihaad) is only obliged to ask the scholars, and he does not have to do more than that.

Secondly:

In the answer to question number 11497, we have explained how to do wudoo’ (ablution) for minor impurity in detail. Please refer to this question.

Thirdly:

With regard to how to do ablution (ghusl) for major impurity, the answer is:

There are two forms of ghusl:

Acceptable form: in the sense that if a person only does ghusl in this manner, his ghusl is valid and he becomes purified from major impurity. But if a person this kind of ghusl properly, his ghusl is not valid.

Complete and preferred form: this is the type which it is mustahabb to do but is not obligatory.

As for the obligatory and acceptable form it is as follows:

1. Form the intention to purify oneself from impurity: janaabah (impurity following sexual discharge), menses or nifaas (postpartum bleeding).

2. Wash the entire body with water once, making sure that the water reaches the roots of the hair and the places that it cannot reach easily, such as the armpits and backs of the knees, as well as rinsing the mouth and nose, according to the correct scholarly opinion.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (1/423):

The evidence that this ghusl is valid is the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning): “If you are in a state of Janaaba (i.e. after a sexual discharge), purify yourselves (bathe your whole body)” [al-Maa’idah 5:6]. Allaah did not mention anything apart from that. If a person washes his entire body once, then it is true to say that he has purified himself. End quote.

As for the complete form, it is as follows

1. Form the intention in the heart to purify oneself from major impurity: janaabah (impurity following sexual discharge), menses or nifaas (postpartum bleeding).

2. Then say Bismillah and wash the hands three times, then wash any dirt from the private part.

3. Then do wudoo’ as for prayer, a complete wudoo’.

4. Then pour water over the head three times, and rub the hair so that the water reaches the roots of the hair.

5. Then wash the body, making sure that the water reaches all parts, starting with the right side of the body and then the left, and rubbing it with the hands so that the water reaches the entire body.

The evidence for this mustahabb form of ghusl is:

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) did ghusl for janaabah, he would wash his hands and do wudoo’ as for prayer, then he would wash himself, then he would run his fingers through his hair, then when he thought that it [the water] had reached his skin, he would pour water over it [the head] three times, then he would wash the rest of his body.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (248) and Muslim (316).

And it was narrated that she (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) did ghusl from janaabah, he would call for something like a vessel used for milking and take water in his palm. He started with the right side of his head, then the left, then he took water in both palms and poured it all over his head.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (258) and Muslim (318).

See also the answer to question number 10790.

One of the important rulings concerning this matter is that ghusl for major impurity takes the place of wudoo’, so the person who has done ghusl, whether the complete or the acceptable form, does not have to repeat wudoo', unless he does something that invalidates purity whilst doing ghusl.

See the answer to question number 68854.

Islam Q&A

gimakon:
Direct this same piece of advise to your brothers. its what we see as you Muslims kill us because of compulsion into Islam, is what you get present day. Don't pass conclusions unnecessarily.
You seem a Peaceful Muslim too.

My brother, that's why I said earlier that the "YOU" is not directed to only you but all of us. Although, it might be reported that some Muslims kill but I can tell you authoritatively with proof that they are not doing this for ISLAM cos Islam teaches us that there's no compulsion in religion & we should always respect and protect our neighbours even if they are non-Muslims.

So whenever you see a good deed committed by a Muslim, kindly acknowledge it and when it's otherwise, please don't generalise your opinion on all the Muslims cos it's only FEW of the Muslims that perpetrate such dastard acts & commit grievous sins. Thanks for your understanding.

gimakon:
I am Laughing!

Why do you feel I didn't really accept Jesus? Check you mind or heart also cos you cant conclude for me or change my perception about who Jesus is so leave the story for another day


You scared of the Bashing? Ok sorry you hear, Its just that we not too happy with your Old testament Fellowship and the killings. but your Fellow Islamic Brothers Call us names too and call this same Jesus you claim to have accepted a coward, this is why we are very angry(Most times) , Other times we tend to Clarify your thinking about things and correct you when need be, Once again, sorry if you feel embarrassed by Christian brothers. We believe in freedom of speech for everything

malvisguy212:
your faith in believeing in jesus is not a saving faith, even satan believe in Him. Do you accept Him for who He say He Is ?

You don't need to be sorry cos of what I said cos I meant every bit of it. I wonder why you have problem with Islam cos of the negative news the media is propagating about it. Mind you, if there are no good Muslims, I'm sure there are no good Christians either. I don't know why people resort to abuses and insults in the name of defending their religion. How will you pass your message when you resort to abusing people? Is that what the religions taught us? How sure are you that your acts will be accepted or you'll be rewarded if you defend your religion in these manners?
Although, everybody have rights to express themselves but there are things people say about God and His Prophets especially in this forum that will make them incur the wrath of God. So watch yourself and how you react to religious issues even if you're being abused.
Finally, i'm not embarrassed with anything I see especially here on Nairaland cos I've gotten used to it. If you cant tolerate your fellow human being all in the name of religion, I wonder how you'll tolerate your closed relatives who share different ideologies or beliefs. (the YOU is not directed to only you).
Peace.

Jazakallahu khairan[/quote]Wa anta Fa Jazak ALLAH

Waalaikum Sallam Warahmotullah Wabarakatuh. OP, Your post is in the wrong section (Christianity section). It'll be better if you move it to the appropriate section before you get the bashing of your life. Meanwhile, @ poster above me, I already accept Jesus Christ as a Prophet & Messenger of Allah. Proudly Muslimah,

47996: Ruling on religious songs; and is it a sin to listen to songs in stores and on public transport?

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

What is the ruling on singing? What is the ruling on listening to songs? If it is haraam, what is the ruling on religious songs? What is the ruling on listening to songs unintentionally (such as on the bus or in stores)?.

Published Date: 2004-10-06


Praise be to Allaah.

If singing is accompanied by musical instruments then it is haraam to do it or to listen to it, whether it is done by a man or a woman. The only exception that is made is singing that is accompanied by the daff, done by women at weddings or on Eid, and when one who has been absent returns. We have already discussed this in detail in the answer to question no. 5000 and 20406.

With regard to religious songs, if they are accompanied by music (with instruments) or if they are sung by a woman to men, then they are haraam, and calling them religious songs in this case is calling something by a name other than its real name in order to confuse and deceive people so that they will accept it. How can they be religious songs when Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have forbidden them?

If they are free of musical accompaniment, and are done by a man and contain good and beneficial meanings, then they are permissible, but one should not listen to them too much.

The Standing Committee issued a detailed fatwa on the topic of Islamic nasheeds, which says the following:

You are correct in saying that songs in the current form are haraam because they include bad words and things in which there is no good; indeed they comprise idle speech, provocation of desires, indecent meanings and tempting voices. May Allaah help us and you to do all that is good.

It is permissible for you to replace these songs with Islamic nasheeds which contain words of wisdom and exhortation and lessons, which promote keenness to follow Islam and invoke Islamic feelings, which put one off evil and the things that promote it, and which motivate the one who “sings” them and the one who hears them to obey Allaah and discourage them to disobey Him or transgress His limits; they make one keen to protect His sharee’ah and strive in jihad for His sake. But you should not take that as a habit which one persists in, rather that should be something that is done only sometimes, on special occasions such as weddings or when travelling for jihad and so on, and when one feels low, in order to revive the spirit and motivate oneself to do good, or when one feels inclined towards evil, so listening to such nasheeds may ward that off.

What is better than that is to take a portion of Qur’aan to recite, and a wird of saheeh dhikrs, for that is more purifying for the soul and is better for bringing peace of mind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah has sent down the Best Statement, a Book (this Qur’aan), its parts resembling each other (in goodness and truth) (and) oft‑repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allaah. That is the Guidance of Allaah. He guides therewith whom He wills; and whomever Allaah sends astray, for him there is no guide”

[al-Zumar 39:23]

“Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allaah verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest.

29. Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism), and work righteousness, Tooba (all kinds of happiness or name of a tree in Paradise) is for them and a beautiful place of (final) return”

[al-Ra’d 13:28, 29]

It was the habit of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) to focus on the Qur'aan, memorizing it, studying it and acting upon it. However they also had nasheeds and chants that they would “sing”, such as when they were digging the Ditch (al-khandaq) and when building mosques, when travelling for jihad and on other such occasions, without making that their symbol or paying too much attention to it. Rather it was something in which they would occasionally find relaxation and stir up positive feelings. With regard to the drum (tabl) and other kinds of musical instruments, it is not permissible to use them with these nasheeds, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) did not do that. And Allaah is the Guide to the Straight Path; may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/532.

With regard to hearing songs and music without intending to and without listening attentively to them, such as when a person hears them in a store and so on, there is no sin on him. What is forbidden is listening, not just hearing. But he must also try to advise others against doing evil actions.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: As for simply hearing without intending to or listening attentively to them, such as when a person who is walking down the street hears the sound of songs coming from shops or passing cars, or when he is in his own house and hears songs coming from his neighbours’ houses without wanting to hear it, in such cases he has no control over the situation and there is no sin on him. But he should advise others and speak out against this evil with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and he should strive to avoid it as much as possible. And Allaah does not burden any person beyond his scope.

Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/389

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A

Are we supposed to go to alfa before our prayers are answered? I don't know if sharing of testimony is Islamic because I feel it's a form of imitating the Christians. There are plenty of Adhkars that we can do & Allah will answer our Duas. Mind you, we are also taught about best times in which Allah answer prayers (which had been mentioned in earlier topics in this section). Why can't we go through them & see if Allah will listen to us or not?

Mind you, Allah only guides whom he wills, so we should be bothered about how we'll improve our individual faiths in order for us to remain steadfast irrespective of any challenge we're facing. May Allah assist us.

Allah knows best.

Op i must commend you for this informative thread. Jazakallah khayran, i have always been suspicious of that Ouija board, i used to have the feeling that jinns were really at work, now it has been confirmed.

175599: Ruling on playing with ouija boards

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

I recently found out about a game that is very common in our country, which is called Ouija. Does this game come under the heading of witchcraft and interacting with the jinn?

Published Date: 2016-01-13



Praise be to Allah

The ouija board game poses a danger to the religious commitment and life of the player. With regard to his religious commitment, that is because it involves calling upon and addressing the jinn, responding to them, believing their words, and being afraid of going against their orders. The ruling on playing this game is no different than the ruling on going to fortune tellers and soothsayers, because of what happens of the player asking the jinn about matters that are unseen or unknown to him. With regard to the danger that it poses to his life, that is because of what has happened of many people being affected by mental illness, anxiety and fear that ruined their lives. Hence there have been many statements from psychologists and there is unanimous agreement on the necessity of getting rid of this game and not trying it out, let alone playing it and becoming attached to it.

In brief, it consists of a board on which are written all the numbers and letters, and at the top of the board are written the words Yes, No, and Goodbye. Each board is written in the language of the local people and there is a disc in the middle of the board, the edges of which are held by a minimum of two players. The game begins by calling upon “Ouija”, and it is clear in the minds of the players that they are now calling upon a spirit or a jinn, according to the player’s belief, and he is asked about things that are unknown to them of events that have taken place, and the disc moves towards the numbers and letters in order to spell out the answer to the question. If the question is about a specific date, the disc, with their fingers on it, moves towards the numbers in order to answer the question. Similarly, if the question is about a name or an event, then the disc moves towards the letters in order to spell out the answer to the question. Or the answer may be Yes or No, so the disc moves towards one of them. The players cannot choose to exit the game until they ask permission from “Ouija”, then if the disk moves towards the word No, they cannot leave the game, but if it moves towards the word Yes, then they can leave, whereupon they have to thank him, then when the players have thanked him, the disc moves towards the word Goodbye.

Some people try to take the matter lightly and make it merely a game for fun, but in fact it is extremely serious. What appears to be the case is that the word “Ouija” is the name of one of the jinn – a king or someone else– and he sends one of his troops to move the disk towards the numbers and letters to spell out the answers. There are some people who believe that this movement comes from the devil-companions (qareen) of the players, and that what they ask about is known to them only or is known in the realm of the jinn. There are others – Western doctors and scientists – who believe that the phenomenon of the disk’s movement is what is called “unconscious movement”; what is meant is that the mind is able, under the influence of certain emotions, to move the muscles of the body unconsciously, without the individual being aware of this movement, so it appears to him as if the spirits are moving the pointer under his hand.

What is established in the mind of the Muslim is that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade going to soothsayers and said that “they are nothing.” And he said that if a person goes to them, even if he does not believe in them, then no prayer will be accepted from him for forty days, and that whoever goes to them and believes in them has committed an act of disbelief.

We have discussed all of this – with the relevant evidence – in the answers to questions no. 8291, 60431, 100900 and 135589.

It is not permissible for the Muslim to seek the help of the jinn to find out unknown and unseen matters, even if he does not seek to draw close to them by doing acts of worship or obedience to them. Merely seeking their help is prohibited.

See the answer to question no. 137948.

Because the jinn benefit from the humans who play this game, the jinn submit, in a sense, to the players, by telling them the unknown matters they ask about. The human also submits to the jinn in a sense. It is sufficient to note that they dare not leave the game without seeking the permission of “Ouija”, otherwise they think and believe that they will be harmed. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): ‘O you assembly of jinns! Many did you mislead of men,’ and their Auliya (friends and helpers, etc.) amongst men will say: ‘Our Lord! We benefited one from the other, but now we have reached our appointed term which You did appoint for us’” [al-An‘aam 6:128]. The sin and disbelief that affect the player before and during the game, and afterwards, is what Allah, may He be exalted, mentions in the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind) in sin and disbelief” [al-Jinn 72:6].

With regard to the ruling on seeking the help of the jinn, please see the answers to questions no. 10815, 11114 and 78546.

Conclusion:

It is haraam for the Muslim to play the Ouija board game, even if in fact it involves no more than unconscious movements, because the player actually and intentionally calls upon the jinn, which comes under the heading of seeking the help of the jinn and the ruling on going to fortune tellers and soothsayers. All of these are haraam things. We have discussed this above and in the answers referred to.

And Allah knows best.

Islam Q&A

I had always wanted a simple Nikkah but my family won't allow that. My Akiduh Nikkah dat was supposed to be witnessed by few people later turned to a party. Now they fixed the walimah to a later period which is 8months after meaning that they are making serious preparation for it.
@ Op, I don't have any problem with having a dream nikkah but the problem is always the family esp bride's who will escalate the event. So my question is, hw can we manage an elaborate Nikkah...............

Seriously, I still don't understand why non-Muslims give themselves headache when Islamic posts make front page. They don't have to show us that they hate Islam and Muslims cos Allah has warned us about them.

Dear Muslim brethrens, hope you realise that argument is not allowed in Islam even when u're right talkless of arguing with those that dnt wish you well nd will always look for ways to critic you and tag u wit all sort of names.

Remember that Allah has perfected His religion, completed His favour on us and accepted ISLAM as our RELIGION. Let's continue to pray that Allah forgive their sins and guide them aright.

Can anybody tell me what this post is doing in a Muslim section and not the other way round??

Wonders shall never end. What's all dis about I dunno why people tends to go beyond der boundary nd wen Muslim reacts, they call us all sort of names. May Allah save us frm their evil plots.

May Allah save us

Hope those that critic Islam and Muslims will clearly understand that what Boko Haram and their accomplices are doing is against Islamic doctrine.

Allah has perfected His religion, no amount of evil acts perpetrated by those who call themselves Muslim can spoil the image of the Religion.

PROUDLY A MUSLIMAH

Pls hw did u go abt it. D website is nt opening

Been reading the same news on facebook for the past 1hr nw. Life is vanity the moment we take it easy and remeber our last day on earth.
http://www.informationng.com/?p=73643

Hmmmnnn. Nigeria we hail thee

Interesting and educative writeup. Jazak Allah for sharing this

@ Tbaba n Maclatunji, may Allah increase you in knwoledge.
I want you to understand that, for the fact that you did not attend such Nikkahs doesn'nt mean they are not existing. I want to tell you categorically that it is rampant these days.

Categorically, am not suprised about the scholars that join both person without telling them the evils behind the unscrupulous act because some of them involve in it, but will rather blame we the youths of today.

The crave to have sex before marriage has become the order of the day to the extent that some brothers do not believe that we still have virgins in the society. Some groups even believe that to make a guy responsible, you must tie pregnancy on his neck before you can get married to him while some families will tell their would be brides to get pregnant before they can seek for hand in marriage.

The major problem is that, the system is rotten, people are not concerned with what the Qur'an and Hadith says about fornication and adultery.

Am so confused on this that I feel that their is the need for us to orientate ourselves on the evils behind this act. We need to jointly condemn this act before it gets out of hand

May Allah assist us.

Asallam Alaykum Warahmotullah Wabarakatuh.

It is disappointing to note that fornication and pregnancy have become the order of the day to the extent that a lot of brides appear with protuding bellies on their wedding day. Yet, the scholars or alfas that join them together, rather than preach the evils behind pre-marital sex to the couples and the people present, they are concerned with how to make money and the likes.

Some so called schorlars even praise those that involve in the act to the extent that many people do no longer see anything bad in getting pregnant before Nikkah.

Let's deleberate on this issue please.

Is this how we'll continue
If NO, what is the way out
Let's analyse the evils behind fornication in Islam.


Jazakum Llahu Haeran....

@ moderators, if there is anything you can do from stoping this jobless people from posting insultive comments on Muslim blogs again, pls do cos this is getin out of hands.

What is our problem in this forum? Why do people find it easy to insult Allah, the Prophets and the Holy book whenever there is a post about Islam Is it only Muslims that perpetrate all these evil acts

Where do you find Muslims commenting on Xtian posts not to talk of insulting xtians. Yet, you call us all sort of names without you thinking about your atitudes toward us.

For your information, Allah has perfected Islam as the true religion, no amount of your insults will change that. Beware and desist from this act before Allah's wrath decend on you.

Waalaikum Sallam Warahmotullah Warabarakatuh. Jazak Allah brother for this wonderful piece. May Allah increase u in knwledge n may He grant us d hrt to follow the footprints of our role model (SAW). Ameen...
