Ranchhoddas:
I don't know. Perhaps the ''badluck'' is reserved for the ones you give out. You have not denied the allegation yet. Why is that?
What allegation? According to the rulings, you are supposed to give ram out raw immediately you kill and skin them and portions you talking about is wrong, there are no 3 different portions it's very simple, list out people you want to give meat to that you know they don't have means to kill as well, if I give a certain portion of meat to David individually and I remember Iya Nkechi and her 3 children and Papa Nkechi would you expect me to give them the same portion I gave David? That's where the portions are choosed that you heard.

It's like it should be circulated in a way you don't give people that wouldn't be satisfied with the gift and it has never been byforce, if I send to you and you don't partake in eating you are free to return 'free meat' since you not hungry.

CC! Sissie
IslamThe Sunnahs That The Muslim Should Observe On The Day Of Eid Are As Follows: by balash(op): 6:14am On Sep 11, 2016
The Sunnahs that the Muslim should observe on the day of Eid are as follows: 

1 – Doing ghusl before going out to the prayer. 

It was narrated in a saheeh hadeeth in al-Muwatta’ and elsewhere that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar used to do ghusl on the day of al-Fitr before going out to the prayer-place in the morning. Al-Muwatta’ 428. 

Al- Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said that the Muslims were unanimously agreed that it is mustahabb to do ghusl for Eid prayer. 

The reason why it is mustahabb is the same reason as that for doing ghusl before Jumu’ah and other public gatherings. Rather on Eid the reason is even stronger. 

2 – Eating before going out to pray on Eid al-Fitr and after the prayer on Eid al-Adha: 

Part of the etiquette is not to go out to pray on Eid al-Fitr until one has eaten some dates, because of the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari from Anas ibn Maalik, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used not to go out on the morning of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates… of which he would eat an odd number. Al-Bukhaari, 953. 

It is mustahabb to eat before going out to emphasize the fact that it is forbidden to fast on that day and to demonstrate that the fast has ended. 

Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) suggested that the reason for that was so as to ward off the possibility of adding to the fast, and to hasten to obey the command of Allaah. Al-Fath, 2/446 

Whoever does not have any dates may break his fast with anything that is permissible. 

But on Eid al-Adha it is mustahabb not to eat anything until one comes back from the prayer, so he should eat from the udhiyah if he has offered a sacrifice. If he is not going to offer a sacrifice there is nothing wrong with eating before the prayer. 

3 – Takbeer on the day of Eid 

This is one of the greatest Sunnahs on the day of Eid because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar: Allaah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him”

[al-Baqarah 2:185] 

It was narrated that al-Waleed ibn Muslim said: I asked al-Awzaa’i and Maalik ibn Anas about saying Takbeer out loud on the two Eids. They said, Yes, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar used to say it out loud on the day of al-Fitr until the imam came out (to lead the prayers). 

It was narrated in a saheeh report that ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami said, “They emphasized it more on the day of al-Fitr than the day of al-Adha.”. Wakee’ said, this refers to the takbeer. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 3/122/ 

Al-Daaraqutni and others narrated that on the morning of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Ibn ‘Umar would strive hard in reciting takbeer until he came to the prayer place, then he would recite takbeer until the imam came out. 

Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated with a saheeh isnaad that al-Zuhri said: The people used to recite Takbeer on Eid when they came out of their houses until they came to the prayer place, and until the imam came out. When the imam came out they fell silent, and when he said takbeer they said takbeer. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 1/121 

Saying takbeer when coming out of one's house to the prayer place and until the imam came out was something that was well known among the salaf (early generations). This has been narrated by a number of scholars such as Ibn Abi Shaybah, ‘Abd a l-Razzaaq and al-Firyaabi in Ahkaam al-Eidayn from a group of the salaf. For example, Naafi’ ibn Jubayr used to recite takbeer and was astonished that the people did not do so, and he said, “Why do you not recite takbeer?” 

Ibn Shihaab al-Zuhri (may Allaah have mercy on him) used to say, “The people used to recite takbeer from the time they came out of their houses until the imam came in.” 

The time for takbeer on Eid al-Fitr starts from the night before Eid until the imam enters to lead the Eid prayer. 

In the case of Eid al-Adha, the takbeer begins on the first day of Dhu’l-Hijjah and lasts until sunset on the last of the days of tashreeq. 

Description of the takbeer: 

It was narrated in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he used to recite takbeer during the days of tashreeq: 

Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaah akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, there is no god but Allaah, Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great, and to Allaah be praise). 

It was also narrated elsewhere by Ibn Abi Shaybah with the same isnaad, but with the phrase “Allaahu akbar” repeated three times. 

Al-Mahaamili narrated with a saheeh isnaad also from Ibn Mas’ood: “Allaahu akbaru kabeera, Allaahu akbaru kabeera, Allaahu akbar wa ajallu, Allaahu akbar wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great indeed, Allaah is Most Great indeed, Allaah is most Great and Glorified, Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise).” See al-Irwa’, 3/126. 

4 – Offering congratulations 

The etiquette of Eid also includes the congratulations and good wishes exchanged by people, no matter what the wording, such as saying to one another Taqabbala Allaah minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept (good deeds) from us and from you” or “Eid mubaarak” and other permissible expressions of congratulations. 

It was narrated that Jubayr ibn Nufayr said: When the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) met one another on the day of Eid, they would say to one another, “May Allaah accept (good deeds) from us and from you.” Ibn Hajar said, its isnaad is hasan. Al-Fath, 2/446. 

Offering congratulations was something that was well known among the Sahaabah, and scholars such as Imam Ahmad and others allowed it. There is evidence which suggests that it is prescribed to offer congratulations and good wishes on special occasions, and that the Sahaabah congratulated one another when good things happened, such as when Allaah accepted the repentance of a man, they went and congratulated him for that, and so on. 

Undoubtedly these congratulations are among the noble characteristics among the Muslims. 

The least that may be said concerning the subject of congratulations is that you should return the greetings of those who congratulate you on Eid, and keep quiet if others keep quiet, as Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If anyone congratulates you, then respond, otherwise do not initiate it. 

5 – Adorning oneself on the occasion of Eid. 

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that ‘Umar took a brocade cloak that was for sale in the market and brought it to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, buy this and adorn yourself with it for Eid and for receiving the delegations.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him, “Rather this is the dress of one who has no share (of piety or of reward in the Hereafter)…” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 948. 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) agreed with ‘Umar on the idea of adorning oneself for Eid, but he denounced him for choosing this cloak because it was made of silk. 

It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had a cloak which he would wear on the two Eids and on Fridays. Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, 1756, 

Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeh isnaad that Ibn ‘Umar used to wear his best clothes on Eid. 

So a man should wear the best clothes that he has when going out for Eid. 

With regard to women, they should avoid adorning themselves when they go out for Eid, because they are forbidden to show off their adornments to non-mahram men. It is also haraam for a woman who wants to go out to put on perfume or to expose men to temptation, because they are only going out for the purpose of worship. 

6 – Going to the prayer by one route and returning by another. 

It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: On the day of Eid, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to vary his route. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 986. 

It was said that the reason for that was so that the two routes would testify for him on the Day of Resurrection, for the earth will speak on the Day of Resurrection and say what was done on it, both good and bad. 

And it was said that it was in order to manifest the symbols of Islam on both routes, or to manifest the remembrance of Allaah (dhikr), or to annoy the hypocrites and Jews, and to scare them with the large number of people who were with him. And it was said that it was in order to attend to the people’s needs, to answer their questions, teach them, set an example and give charity to the needy, or to visit his relatives and uphold the ties of kinship.

CultureYoruba Culture And Tradition: 10 Cultural Taboos In Yoruba Land by balash(op): 9:10am On Sep 06, 2016
Every people everywhere have their cultural ways of life and what is considered normal and acceptable for community folks in those areas. The need to sanitize the society and prevent cultural abuses has led to the establishment of cultural taboos and abominations – what people in given areas must never do to keep the society going.

The Igbos, Hausas, Ibibios, Igalas, Beroms, and every tribe in Nigeria and other parts of the world have cultural taboos; the following are those of the Yorubas and what you must never do in Yorubaland:

i. Same-sex marriage is forbidden: Americans and people in Europe may have legalized same-sex marriage – that is, gay and lesbian marriages, but it is forbidden in Yorubaland. Some people in the northern part of this country have been caught in the act of sexual union between males, but such is an abomination in Yorubaland and must never be practised.

ii. A strapped baby must never fall from its mother’s back: It is an abomination in Yorubaland for a baby to fall from its mother’s back. And this is why many new mothers are warned to strap their babies firmly to their back again if their baby is not well positioned. It is believed that a male child that falls from its mother’s back will always lose his wife at adulthood, and a female will always have a lover die atop her when she grows up. And where a baby eventually falls from its mother’s back, the mother is expected to carry out some rituals to prevent evil from happening to the child when it grows.

iii. Suicide is an abomination: Committing suicide is an abomination in Yorubaland, and a dangling body must not be lowered down until some sacrifices are performed to appease the gods. Even at that, the body of such individual will be buried in the evil forest and outside town to avoid the anger of the gods. The family of an individual that commits suicide will be tainted forever in the community.

iv. Pregnant women must never walk the streets in broad daylight: What this means is that pregnant women must not go about the streets or go to the market or go to the stream when the sun is high up at its zenith – between 12 pm – 3 pm when the sun is at its brightest. It is believed that evil spirits roam the town when the sun is at its brightest and they could enter into a pregnant woman, making her to give birth to deformed babies.

v. Whistling at night is forbidden: Men and women are not allowed to whistle at nights in Yorubaland. Whistling at nights is believed to invite demons and evil spirits into the house to torment people. Additionally, it is believed that whistling could attract snakes and reptiles into the house at night.

vi. Adultery is forbidden: It is forbidden for married women to commit adultery with another man who is not their husbands. This taboo is more critical against women than against men, so it is highly frowned upon for a wife to cheat on her husband. A man that suspects that his wife is cheating could be tempted to lace her with magun, and this would lead to the death of her adulterous lover.

vii. A king must never look inside his royal crown: It is an abomination for a king in Yorubaland to look into the inside of his royal crown. A king must wear a crown but he must never peer into it. The day he does it is the day he will join his ancestors. Kings could be allowed to do this if they insist on committing suicide.

viii. Corpse of a person that drowns must not be brought for burial at home: What this means is that the corpse of a person who dies in a river must be buried near the river, and the corpse of a person who falls from a tree must be buried at the base of the tree. Bringing their corpses home is believed to irk the gods who may cause people to die without causes.

ix. A king must never prostrate for anyone again in his entire life: A royal king is considered a demi-god in Yorubaland and he must never prostrate to greet anyone in his entire life.

x. Eating of cats, dogs, pigs are forbidden: It is generally considered unclean to consume dog meat, pork, and cat meat among others. While many Yorubas will never taste dog meat but gladly consume African rabbit (Okete), the Ondo people considers Okete an abomination but will gladly eat dog meat with relish.

IslamThe Status Of The Family In Islam by balash(op): 11:59pm On Sep 04, 2016
Praise be to Allaah.  
Before we find out about the role of Islam in organizing and protecting the family, we should first find out what the situation of the family was before Islam, and what it is in the West in modern times. 

Before Islam, the family was based on mistreatment and oppression. All affairs were controlled only by men or in other words, the males, and women and girls were oppressed and humiliated. An example of that is that if a man died and left behind a wife, his son by another wife had the right to marry her and control her life, or to prevent her from getting married. Men were the only ones who could inherit; women and children had no share. They viewed women, whether they were mothers, daughters or sisters, as a source of shame, because they could be taken as prisoners, thus bringing shame upon the family. Hence a man would bury his infant daughter alive, as is referred to in the Qur’aan, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!

He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision”

[al-Nahl 16:58] 

The family in the broader sense, i.e., the tribe, was based on supporting one another in all things, even in wrongdoing. 

When Islam came, it did away with all that and established justice, giving each person his or her rights, even nursing infants, and even the miscarried foetus who was to be respected and prayed for (i.e., given a proper funeral). 

When you examine the family in the West today you will find that families are disintegrating and the parents cannot control their children, whether intellectually or morally. The son has the right to go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants; the daughter has the right to sit with whoever she wants and sleep with whoever she wants, all in the name of freedom and rights. And what is the result? Broken families, children born outside marriage, (elderly) mothers and fathers who are not looked after. As some wise men have said, if you want to know the true nature of these people, go to the prisons and the hospitals and seniors’ homes, for children do not remember their parents except on holidays and special occasions. 

The point is that many non-Muslims the institution of family is destroyed. When Islam came it paid a great deal of attention to the establishment of  strong families and protecting them from things that could harm them, and preserving family ties whilst giving each member of the family an important role in life. 

Islam honoured women, whether as mothers, daughters or sisters. It honoured women as mothers. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, who among people is most deserving of my good company?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Then your father.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5626; Muslim, 2548) 

Islam honours women as daughters. It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has three daughters or three sisters, or two daughters or two sisters, and takes good care of them and fears Allaah with regard to them, will enter Paradise.” 

(Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh, 2/190) 

And Islam honours women as wives. It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.” 

(Narrated and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, 3895). 

Islam gave women their rights of inheritance and other rights. It gave women rights like those of men in many spheres. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Women are the twin halves of men.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood in his Sunan, 236, from the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 216). 

Islam encourages men to treat their wives well, and gives women the freedom to choose their husbands; it gives women much of the responsibility for raising the children. 

Islam gives fathers and mothers a great deal of responsibility for raising their children. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, “Each of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The man is the shepherd of his family and he is responsible for his flock. The woman is the shepherd of her husband’s household and is responsible for her flock. The servant is a shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for his flock.” He said, I heard this from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 853; Muslim, 1829) 

Islam paid a great deal of attention to implanting the principle of respect for fathers and mothers, taking care of them and obeying their commands until death. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour”

[al-Isra’ 17:23] 

Islam protects the honour, chastity, purity and lineage of the family, so it encourages marriage and forbids free mixing of men and women. 

Islam gives each family member an important role to play. So fathers and mothers take care of the children and give them an Islamic upbringing; children are to listen and obey, and respect the rights of fathers and mothers, on a basis of love and respect. Even our enemies have borne witness to the strength of family ties among the Muslims.

 And Allaah knows best.

AlBaqir:
# Any lies attributed to the holy Prophet can easily be exposed by the holy Quran. I tag those lies as "crazy". Quran says Shaitan can never ever sway or near the devoted ones. A lie called hadith says Shaitan once disturbed the salat of the Prophet to the extent of getting physical, and other times Shaitan used to be present with the Prophet whereas another lie called hadith says Shaitan can never even stand Umar's voice let alone his person. Why won't I refer to such lies as crazy? A true hadith from the Prophet is hadith Nabi!

# Why are you shy quoting authentic ahadih to butress Quranic argument? You might be doing more harm than good faah. The fact that the author of this thread is a Christian does not mean you cannot quote ahadith of the Prophet. This is Islam forum.

Ahadith are even more surf on the internet. It seems to me you are scared to get battered by some "crazy lies" called hadith, about the Prophet.



# To forget something in a blip is not issue here, brother. We talk about mistakes and sins in all matters - Religious, social, moral etc.

# Nabi salallahu alayhi wa Ahli's perfection and infallibility is nothing other than perfection of faith. Quran verse of purification testified to Nabi and his household's absolute purification from whatever you can ever think of.
Your claims are like you shooting yourselves in the leg, I have no problem with everything else I just want you to understand yes the Prophet made a mistake that's so he can be placed and known as human and not immortal that's just what am talking about simply and the other issue like calling one hadith Crazy is uncalled for in Islam, if you don't believe in some people's ways in Islam you don't condemn them, you only correct if you see they going astray in dealings not been so insultive like calling your brother in Islam work on propagation of Islam as 'Crazy'

And the issue about the author is just that he is not a muslim and he was the one who asked the questions so if we must respond at least we should do it in layman's method so it would be easier for him to understand not quoting an hadith that we only Muslims knows how to reach and get through, his reasons for asking the question is so that we all can be enlightened so let's do his biddings as stipulated

AlBaqir:
Even @underlined, Nabi never make such. That is gafla - forgetfulness. And it is usually caused by loss of concentration, hopelessness, shaytan etc.

Listen to what shaytan says:
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate

Except Thy servants from among them, the devoted ones

He said: This is a right way with Me:

Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.
{Surah Hijr: 39-42}

# Shaytan has no way whatsoever near the Prophet. Unfortunately, you will see some crazy so-called ahadith which indicate for example that shaytan came to disturb and confuse the Prophet in his prayers whereas he used to run away from Umar ibn al-Khattab. Such ahadith are discarded by this strong infallible evidence of the Quran.
This is so wrong? Why would you describe an hadith as 'Crazy' that's unislamic my brother, this thread author is a Christian and their so trust is based on the fact that we Muslims get all our beliefs and guidance from the holy qur'an it's so wrong for me quoting hadith to him, I needed to quote something he can actually surf the Internet and get the same meanings so I can at least be crisp in reasoning and dealings

In as much as the Prophet is a noble man we can't say as human he won't forget somethings as human naturally, we don't need to describe the Prophet like immortal human to christians, it's more appropriate to say he is Noble and would never sin against Allah and his beliefs not saying he can't merely say, Oh I forgot my toothbrush, that's cool not like he forget to pray and we be like it's a mistake that can't happen to the Prophet but he surely would forget things as human normally even if there ain't no written evidence based on such but as human, he is bound to forget things in a split secs

I think I understand. You mean he didn't make mistakes with the Qu'ran, but some of his actions which Allah did not command him to do could have been wrong. Not intentionally, but by mistake. I'd really like to know which 3 actions you would pick as the Prophet's top 3 mistakes.
First you need to know that mistakes doesn't necessarily mean sin or wrongdoing.

What we are referring to as mistake isn't a sin or a reprehensible wrong, Allah has protected his Prophets from such.

Bringing it closer to us,
If you are fasting and you unintentionally ate something, that's a mistake but it's not a sin.

That's exactly what the errors of the Prophets were.


All of the Prophets of Allah don't commit sins, they have been protected from such.

In some cases mistakes could be sinful, but that's not the way it is for the Prophets.
IslamRe: Your Personal Reasons For Believing In Islam by balash(m): 7:01pm On Aug 24, 2016
Yes, the Prophet was a Man,
Yes, all men make mistakes and he made human mistakes too BUT these mistakes are just his day to day human mistakes and have nothing to do with what's divinely revealed.

Your stories about how Prophet Muhammed reacted to the death of his children, and how he was nice to the guy who threw broken bottles unto his road, are inspiring. I can see how one would want to follow the religion of a man with such strength and maturity. One thing I've noticed about the muslim view of the Prophet Muhammed is that, while you respect him as the last Prophet, you recognize that he is a man, just like Jesus. Being a man, I'm thinking that he could not have been completely perfect. He must have made some mistakes, though not many.

As someone who has studied the life and character of Prophet Muhammed, and whose belief in Islam rests on this, you must have come across not only his great deeds but also his mistakes. Some things which he did that he should not have done, and which you would not emulate if you found yourself in the same situation. Can you describe 3 of them to us and tell us how it affected your faith when you came across them?
He never made a mistake, there was a revelation in the Holy Qur'an Chapter 53 Verse 1 to 62 ( An Najm ( The Star)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

53:1 By the star when it sets!

53:2 Your companion errs not, nor does he deviate.

53:3 Nor does he speak out of desire.

53:4 It is naught but revelation that is revealed —

53:5 One Mighty in Power has taught him,

53:6 The Lord of Strength. So he attained to perfection,

53:7 And he is in the highest part of the horizon.

53:8 Then he drew near, drew nearer yet,

53:9 So he was the measure of two bows or closer still.

53:10 So He revealed to His servant what He revealed.

53:11 The heart was not untrue in seeing what he saw.

53:12 Do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?

53:13 And certainly he saw Him in another descent,

53:14 At the farthest lote-tree.

53:15 Near it is the Garden of Abode.

53:16 When that which covers covered the lote-tree;

53:17 The eye turned not aside, nor did it exceed the limit.

53:18 Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

53:19 Have you then considered Lat and ‘Uzza,

53:20 And another, the third, Manat?

53:21 Are the males for you and for Him the females?

53:22 This indeed is an unjust division!

53:23 They are naught but names which you have named, you and your fathers — Allah has sent no authority for them. They follow but conjecture and what (their) souls desire. And certainly the guidance has come to them from their Lord.

53:24 Or shall man have what he wishes?

53:25 But for Allah is the Hereafter and the former (life).

53:26 And how many angels are in the heavens, whose intercession avails naught except after Allah gives permission to whom He pleases and chooses.

53:27 Surely those who believe not in the Hereafter name the angels with female names.

53:28 And they have no knowledge of it. They follow but conjecture, and surely conjecture avails naught against Truth.

53:29 So shun him who turns his back upon Our Reminder, and desires nothing but this world’s life.

53:30 That is their goal of knowledge. Surely thy Lord knows best him who strays from His path and He knows best him who goes aright.

53:31 And Allah’s is whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil for that which they do, and reward those who do good with goodness.

53:32 Those who avoid the great sins and the indecencies, but the passing idea— surely thy Lord is Liberal in Forgiving. He knows you best when He brings you forth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers; so ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows him best who guards against evil.

53:33 Seest thou him who turns back,

53:34 And gives a little, then withholds?

53:35 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?

53:36 Or has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Moses,

53:37 And (of) Abraham who fulfilled (commandments)?

53:38 That no bearer of burden bears another’s burden:

53:39 And that man can have nothing but what he strives for:

53:40 And that his striving will soon be seen.

53:41 Then he will be rewarded for it with the fullest reward:

53:42 And that to thy Lord is the goal:

53:43 And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep:

53:44 And that He it is Who causes death and gives life:

53:45 And that He creates pairs, the male and the female:

53:46 From the small life-germ when it is adapted:

53:47 And that He has ordained the second bringing forth:

53:48 And that He it is Who gives wealth and contentment:

53:49 And that He is the Lord of Sirius:

53:50 And that He destroyed the first ‘Ad:

53:51 And Thamud, so He spared not:

53:52 And the people of Noah before. Surely they were most iniquitous and inordinate.

53:53 And the overthrown cities, He hurled down:

53:54 So there covered them that which covered.

53:55 Which, then, of thy Lord’s benefits wilt thou dispute?

53:56 This is a warner of the warners of old.

53:57 The near Event draws nigh.

53:58 There is none besides Allah to remove it.

53:59 Wonder you then at this announcement?

53:60 And do you laugh and not weep,

53:61 While you sport?

53:62 So bow down in prostration before Allah and serve (Him).

I admire your commitment to finding out the truth. Most people have never studied any religion apart from the one they grew up with. Did you have any concerns about the objectivity of Mr. Jamiu Adegunwa, though, since he was a muslim cleric? Do you have any concerns now?


If you stumbled upon a website with a list of verifiable contradictions and errors in the Holy Qur'an, would that shake your faith a little or a lot?


Many Christians will tell you that they have also had experiences with demons. During prayer, some people will start screaming and writhing on the floor. Then the pastors would pray and command the demons to leave them in the name of Jesus and they would calm down. Many Christians see this as evidence of the existence of demons and the power of the name of Jesus over them. This happens in big and small churches of many denominations. Do you think these Christian exorcisms are genuine? If not, what do you think is really happening?
You can go to youtube and check the islamic ways of exorcisms and how jinns are been talked to, there's also a guy in the uk who specializes on commanding demons out of people's body on Instagram can't remember the handle off heart
IslamRe: Your Personal Reasons For Believing In Islam by balash(m):
The deal about my personal reason is simple, I only need to read about the entire ways of life and the day to day activities of the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) , A Man who seem to always have the best of decision in every situation in life.

More like I just need to study about Prophet Muhammed ( S.A.W) and how he lived his life in the ways of Deen ( Religion) I don't think there can be a man who can be tested in the weirdest of obstacle and still have faith that he who he serves can make a way where they seem to be no way. I have just 3 examples of how much a great man he is and I just need to study everything about him and emulate his beliefs, there's no issue in following his pact which leads me to been so steadfast in Islam and understanding the religion more.

The 3 Examples Goes thus

1. On A Sallah Day In His lifetime in the morning before going to pray at the mosque, he lost one of his daughter to the cold hands of death and he still went to the mosque and prayed, he was so touched and painful that he shed tears on the Solaat ( Prayer) but he still believe on his creator knowing the best

2. In his lifetime, whenever he goes to mosque in the early morning there was a bad man who always breaks bottle on the path where the prophet would take on his way to the mosque to pray and he the bad man kept on doing it and the prophet always gets wounded, but after a little while he realised he didn't notice the broken bottles on his path so he went to the man's house and said ' Sir, I came to checkup on you because I know you always breaks bottle on the path I take to the mosque and I realised it stopped so I came to checkup on you if you are alright' and he realised the man was sick and he prayed for the man and said he wasn't angry with the man, he just felt the man doesn't know what he was doing

3. A man who in his lifetime buried all the kids he fathered, none of his children was alive to bury him, he buried them all and still believed strongly in his creator that he knows best about every situation and obstacles

This 3 example is okay for me to know that if there can be a man who can succumb to every atrocities and believe solemly in a certain religion and till his last breath still says 'Islam is a religion of Peace' then I will die and Insha Allahu in my last word that comes out of my mouth when my time comes finally would be 'There's no other God worthy of Worship Except Allah, And Muhammed is his Messenger '
