CAMEROONPRIDE:

wash your mouth and mind the way you talk to me .


pagan and I are in a crusade against islam, as a pagan it is important for me to open such threads which expose islam, what they don't want you to know.

so this has nothing to do with ***********8.


peace b with you.

Thought you were Muslim?

Reallymilky: Salam alaykum. Am madinah-a newbie on NL. Am glad i found this thread. Jazakumullah!

Welcome sister

Ramadan is a time of rules and regulations- but this does not preclude having a fulfilling and joyful Holy Month- and there are certainly benefits to be gained this month.

Ramadan is a time for practicing self-restraint. The order of the month is piety and sobriety with less pleasures of flesh than ordinarily enjoyed. Because if you can refrain from your lawful pleasures for God's sake, with full freedom to do so, it would be easier for you to stop doing what is unlawful and forbidden.

As stressed in the Holy Quran, fasting is basically prescribed on Muslims to learn piety and righteousness. “Fasting provides us with motivation, self-control and firm will to give up bad manners and habits, otherwise such a vital worship will turn futile,” said Imam of Al Faruq Masjid Shaikh Mohammed Al Arabi.

While it is seen to be a time when economic productivity may drop, the true manner in which it should be practiced ought to allow for focus and productivity in the day-light hours, when the mind is not distracted from temptations of the flesh.

When a Muslim fasts, all his organs fast too. "I mean his tongue should fast, i.e. he should not backbite or lie, for example. His eyes should not look at what Allah obligates as forbidden. His legs should not walk to places where such a person would commit a sin, etc…", according to a Muslim scholar. "Since Allah is the Creator of Man, then He is the best One to know what is beneficial for him and what makes him develop to the better. When a person fasts from dawn to sunset, he/she abstains from food and drink, along with sexual intercourse if he/she is married. Thus, he stops eating or drinking what is lawful, in obedience to his Creator and he/she would be the one who gets the benefit too."

The above display of Ramadan Do's and Don't's is not an idiot's guide nor a Wiki-How to do Ramadan; instead it touches on some of the points that you may already know of, adding some creative ideas for how you can 'get it right' this Ramadan if you're practicing the Holy Month, or else better understand or even support your neighbors who are.

Reminder of Ramadan terms:

Iftar: The meal taken to break the fast at sun-down.

Suhoor: The traditionally light meal taken late night or early hours before starting the fast, from dawn.

DO Dress Appropriately
Both men and women should dress conservatively, and not display too much skin when in public. Cover shoulders & upper arms, hemlines should reach the knee and pay attention to necklines.

DO Stop Smoking
As with eating and drinking, smoking is not allowed in public during the Holy Month of Ramadan. It’s the perfect time to quit; go on…. you know you want to!

DO Exchange Ramadan Greetings
It is customary to use the greeting “Ramadan Kareem” when meeting Muslims, and at the end of Ramadan, for the three day Eid celebrations, “Eid Mubarak”.

DO Be Charitable
An important element of the Holy Month is to be generous to those less fortunate by donating food, clothes or money to individuals and charitable organisations. If you would like to acknowledge your Muslim maid or gardener, a token gift will be appropriate and much appreciated.

DO Be Considerate
Fasting can play havoc with a person’s eating and sleeping habits, so be sympathetic to people around you.

DO Avoid Driving at Sundown
As the day draws to a close, the roads fill with people heading to break their fast at Iftar celebrations. They haven’t eaten, or had a drink for twelve hours. If you don’t need to be on the road at that time, you would be wise to wait half an hour.

DO Enjoy the Local Culture
It’s so easy to live our lives in parallel lines. Ramadan is the time of the year you can blur the edges. Take your family along to one of the many hotel-based Iftar tents, soak up some local life, and don’t forget the backgammon set!

DO Accept Invitations
If you have been invited to an Iftar meal with friends or colleagues, do go along. Remember not to go empty-handed. Arabic desserts are always a good option to offer your host.

DO NOT Eat in Public
Show respect for those who are fasting during the day by not eating and drinking in front of them. Most malls, and all hotels, will have one or two eateries open but discreetly tucked away behind screens / closed doors.

DO NOT Kiss or Hug Your Partner in Public
Given the furor over a few headline cases over the last year this will not come as news to anyone. In reality, not all is how it is reported in the papers but during Ramadan, avoid demonstrative acts of affection, as you will offend.

DO NOT Play Loud Music
Ramadan is a time for prayer and spiritual reflection. As such, it is important to respect the peace by not playing loud music in your home or car.

adaobi123:

Hard times

I know it's everywhere

adaobi123: S5 ?

I just got a S3. I GIVE UP !!!

Lmfao I feel your pain

CAMEROONPRIDE: okay, lemme clarify. there are Cameroonian who only speak English and there are some who only speak French but the average Cameroonian speaks both languages pretty fluently.

yeah I love to learn .

Lol I know what bilingual means!

CAMEROONPRIDE: lol it is a bilingual country. there are no official documents where Cameroon will b described as a Francophone country . both English and French are our official languages and they are both mandatory.

Really I never knew, always thought you guys speak French only... I guess we're learning from each other.

CAMEROONPRIDE: ooh I see. Cameroon is not a francophone country

Yes it is!... Or you guys speak Portuguese?

CAMEROONPRIDE: as i told you before no one on this earth is holy, we are only trying. now If u mean what I think you mean , I will say some .most are very open minded and moderate. there's no radicalism in Cameroon.

sister you are yet tell me why you think i'm not from Cameroun?


Ps: we will probably agree on more things, don't worry.

Oh I see , I guess it's the same here. To be honest it's because your English, is a lot better than most people, who grew up in English-speaking countries, most people from francophone countries have terrible English. Well the one's I know.

CAMEROONPRIDE: keep it up. u are right this world is not an easy one .lol

We finally agree on something lol btw are Muslims in your country really holy?

CAMEROONPRIDE: sorry to disappoint. I don't use them in real tho. but last time I checked no one is holy. are u holy?

Hmmm kinda in my own way I guess but in this day and age who can, everywhere you turn you see or hear something haram.

CAMEROONPRIDE: This sh1t is funny, u are a newbie and yet u are already doubting about my origins?

wow thought you were holy didn't know you used words like s*** and f***... guess you ain't no alim.

[quote author=CAMEROONPRIDE] i meant who will u support?

I don't believe in modern history anyway. They fcked it with their white supremacist and afrocentris bias. I'm who I am and I don't come from anyone, I'm not mixed with anyone.[/quote

why should I support anyone of them,it's not like they're in competition. modern African history is nothing but a bunch of crap .why did you get offended , when that guy said some part , of Cameroon belonged to Nigeria ?

@CAMEROONPRIDE those two tribes have got long history together...some people say fulani are a mixture of berber and serer...I don't believe the story anyway.

CAMEROONPRIDE:

the literacy rate was kinda a rhetoric question those countries are among the ones with the lowest literacy rate in Africa. I told u Azmarie, I told u to not become a bigot. lol Wft of course i'm from Cameroon(what kind of question is this), I was asking if you live there because you said there are no nomadic Fulani in Gambia. don't they herd cattle in Gambia? even in rural community?

ah ah .you are too mixed. what it is a serer vs Fulani debate?

ok you got me on the literacy rate , thats only because I'm kinda oblivious sometimes...and yes we have nomads but they are not fulani , well I don't think your from Cameroon anyway ...

CAMEROONPRIDE:

lol you are overhyping them and your country. don't worry I understand. but what's the literacy rate (in Niger, Gambia, Mali, northern Nigeria, Senegal) ? anyway like I said let's move on , you probably have a Fulani BF or husband

are u sure you live in Gambia or Senegal?
and you can b educated and own a shop

Lmfao I'm not married and neither do I have a boyfriend, yes I do live in the Gambia , how am I suppose to know the literacy rate? and are you even from Cameroon? trust me the kinds of shops they own you can't be educated and and run them. I'm only supporting them because my grandparents are fulani.

CAMEROONPRIDE: BTW since you know Fulani you are supposed to know that they almost live in reclusion and are one of the most close society in African , just to say that mixing is very rare among them also because they are nomads.

lol not the one's in the Gambia, we also don't have the nomadic one's most of them are highly educated and if they aren't , they probably own a little corner shop.

CAMEROONPRIDE: ooops I forgot. this myth comes from white supremacist with a clear idea in their head. they did the same In Rwand and did the same with my ethnicity. their descriptions are funny

I guess , and what is your tribe anyway?

CAMEROONPRIDE: no i'm not, lived in the north. I can't see your picture and like I said there are LS Fulani but they ain't the majority ,most of them are from very dark to brown .period u will show me some pics . I will show you thousands of pics and videos .

Lmfao you just won't give up will you. and I didn't say all look like that I said the pure one's do!

@cCCAMEROONPRIDE the pictures don't want to load.

I know they come in different colours and have different features...btw are you fulani? here are some pictures the first girl is Gambian and the other two are Nigerians.and they fit my description.

CAMEROONPRIDE: I know more than you. Now you are twisting your words : you said pure fulani are light skinned,+long hair+ straight/sharp nose , which of course is false and doesn't even make sense. I simply asked if the fulani in the thread weren't pure ? See how you slayed yourself . How can u say pure fulani are ls and yet at the same time you said fulani are diverse. I know everyone is trying to claim being light skinned because it is a kind of prestige since the Caucasian look dominates the industry/world. being ls is far from being a fulani trait . Most are dark or Brown . But ls ? Nah , the only African group that wear such crown(majority are Ls) is the khosian from SA .

Lmfao brother I'm not one of those self hating , white washed sisters ok...I'm dark skinned and proud to be a black woman. in my country the one's who marry other tribes are darkskinned , and look like those girls .but the one's who don't mix look like that, plus I don't believe that eurocentric features are the ideal for beauty.

CAMEROONPRIDE: https://www.nairaland.com/276047/post-pics-fulani-girls/1#3921634

I guess most of the girls in this thread aint fulani or pure fulani?

Eh eh google is your friend too

well most haalpulaar'en people who are part of the large and diverse fulani group tend to look like that ...and why are you so aggressive?

CAMEROONPRIDE: dumbest posts I have ever seen(no offense) . The pure fulani?

Please I don't what kind of craps you have been feeded with but please refrain from doing such comment in a classroom

Lmfao you really don't know much about them do you, well the one's in the Gambia , Senegal and especially Guinea conakary look like that.btw I know they are a very ddiverse group.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Since when fulani are light skinned or better since when Ls is the label of Fulani?

Anyway ain't hating

The fulani in my country , are known for being light skinned. The pure fulani is light skinned , long hair and a straight nose and that's a fact.

CAMEROONPRIDE: lol Senegal is not populated and if they are the third largest then they are a minority. Everywhere those people are the majority not 2nd largest or third largest you will see troubles and the are is most likely to b backward .period

Dude stop being a hater , it could be other light skinned , tribes causing trouble .

CAMEROONPRIDE: They are peaceful when they are a minority

In Senegal they are the ,third largest ethnic group and are very peaceful people.

African men from French , speaking countries are very romantic.

FarmTech: Fulanis have always been a problem to every tribe. They'll destroy somebody's farm and yet fight the person. I really wonder how their brain works.

Are you sure that they're fulani ? it could be some Afro arabs.

onila: Brad Pitt is ugly

well I guess the saying is true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

onila:

brad pitt is so overrated never liked him

is this nene1?

lmao no he's not, he looks a lot better than the ones you like ...btw it's Azmarie.
