maclatunji: To be honest with you, it makes little sense for Muslims to be talking about Salat or Zakat for example and some funny individual posts, "All Muslims are terrorists", "religious bigots" "Bloodsuckers" and so on.

I suggest you lay low for a while and observe trends. You will see that debates with Non-Muslims happen here. Only trolls get sanctioned.

i understand what you are saying and am sure you get my message also.

na waka pass i just dey do bros

BetaThings: There is nowhere where there is absolute freedom of speech
Anyone who says "Death to America" is marked ***are you now equating AMERICA to GOD?? GOD is not human and thus he is free from human emotion****
Anyone who challenges the authenticity of the holocaust in Europe goes to jail *** there you go again
CAN has told us that they will stop restraining Christian youths from resorting to violence if El Rufai does not stop abusing Jesus
Christians who moderate the main Religious Board on NL also threaten to ban people who post insulting statements

So I DON'T believe that that warning should be removed. Seun should be supported ****if you advocate for this, then the same should be done to other sections also or where is the justice in this (the same justice that Islam preaches). Islam section having this view only SHOW ONE THING CLEARLY for everyone to infer from
We should post civilly, objectively, and with empathy. That is not too much to ask
BTW Non-muslims who want to preach (to Muslims) tolerance of opposing viewpoints should DEMONSTRATE tolerance in their reaction to posts
I can criticise Christianity, philosophy, atheism etc without being offensive *** dont you think people become offensive beacuse of what they have been fed by the media ( and we are here contributing and strengthening it.

large percentage of people will naturally be abusive when you give them a reason to and the only to correct their notion is to start by being totally transparent

BetaThings: If you feel concerned that muslims seem to "fear having our faith challenged" don't you think that you too might also appear to "fear having your posts quoted" to give a background to your view points

Muslim will always have our faith challenged. That is not the problem
Muslims disagree on certain issues - That is not the problem. Shayk Uthaymeen has book on that subject "Difference of Opinion Amongst Scholars"
Muslim however DON'T disagree on some fundamentals - oneness of Allah, Salat, Zakak, Ramadan fasting, Need to submit totally to Allah and His messenger (PBUH)
Enter Islam completely = Qur'an 2 : 208

The problem is those who derail thread by abusing Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). We are not allowed to sit and discuss with those *** but you are allowed to keep them off in their ignorance? isnt that why word tolerance exist? i have heard that the best way to convert people is our behaviours/attitude which am sure tolerance is part of. It is religious
But when someone abuses my parent, I stop discussing with the person. This is religious matter too. We are forbidden from allowing people to abuse our parents *** can you please show where in the Quran where it says we should suppress people freedom of speech cos the prohet or our parents is abused (the highest we could do is walk away)

Anyone can call me a fo.ol, eed.iot, stu.pid **we all need to read the Quran ourselves and stop viewing GOD with anthropomorphic traits. It does not matter. Discussion continues
People are allowed to query some Islamic beliefs, but some issues are off limits

There is nowhere where there is absolute freedom of speech *** surely you didnt read your Quran very well you would av understood it is stated clearly in the Holy book Fortress33 Verse 72 (we offered trust to the heaven, earth and mountains and they refused to bear it for they feared it;man bore it. man was unjust to himself and ignorant of its result)
Anyone who says "Death to America" is marked

** who put the limit off disscussion are you now saying you wanna fight for GOD cos someone talk ill of the Prophet?? God is more than capable to fighting his own war, we can only air our own view post and guidance and that is the highest we could do.

BetaThings: Muslims want to be left alone to discuss beneficial knowledge. Afteral
“The religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity.” They said, “To who O Messenger of Allaah (PBUH)?” He (PBUH) said, “To Allaah, and His Book, and His Messenger (PBUH), and the Imaams (leaders) of the Muslims, and their common folk.” (Muslim)





May Allah give you guidance
Of course "Ihdina s-sirata l-mustaqim"

this is where u get it wrong qouting my post. if you dont agree with what i posted and you wanna guide, dont you think it should be open to everyone so that different views can be entertained perhaps i might be wrong in ur view or better still give you a new way of viewing things

justaqad: good notice.
islam is open to criticism thats the beauty of our deen.

it should be removed i suggest.

Islam is open to everyone including critics (atleast its the only way they can have a doubtful mind which may eventually germinate)

Islam to open to everyone including critics (atleast its the only way they can have a doubtful mind which may eventually germinate)

by censoring what people with threat has already taken out transparency. people wont put up what they think/feel the same way its in their mind and this would av defeated what they were trying to pass across.

maclatunji: Wa Alaykum Salam, my guy, save this lecture for Seun the owner. Muslims did not put that notice there.

since you are MOD here,and am sure u are true umma dont you think it will be better if you try discussing it with seun to make Islamic threads also open and transparent

i am not a fan of religious forum but was a bit taken back when i saw the cation "A forum for Muslims to share their faith. Muslims only please, even the moderators are Muslims". are we muslims scared to have our faith challenged? are we scared of what non-muslims will ask and say about us? are we not promoting segregations among Allah's creations??
if we keep this forum open for only muslims, how are people looking for answers going to get since they cant come on this forum. i think the MODs should think about this and realize they are not doing justice to Islam. Christain forum is mixed with everyone and there faith are being challenged and re-solidifies

just my own observation

Salam

@op there is nothing demonic about it. its all about making up for the vacuum in you, something u have built up over a long time. there is nothing wrong with selfservice xcept when it becomes an addiction (addiction is not something u will wanna keep especially on something like cos it will damage ur self esteem more)

getting over self service is pretty easy, all need to do is to be honest with urself (trace back to how it all started), realise is a problem of -ve self confidence. the first step in solving all problem is acceptance (accept the problem that u are the cause and every other thing is pretty easy)

@joagbaje there is nothing demonic about it, it purely scientific

There is silence because u are gonna av to figure that out urself (Buddha said enlightment is the end of suffering. What is left afterward? He was silent on that). U are gonna av to create ur own reality.u wanna believ it or not cos there are one million and one reasons to believe and to not believe. In the end its all in the mind

Eze Promoe: [color=olive]I don't do with such books in order not to set pace for eccentric belief that will be the genesis of hallucinated and vicarious. idealogy[/color]

if u dont do such books, how then did u know for a fact for what u claimed so hard?? dont you think u are being well over board beating chest for what you have not verified?

Eze Promoe: [color=olive]That's it! African mentality. I don't blame you sha. Even the bible said women should be submissive but not that women should be used as slave. In Islam, women are not given a modicum of discretion as far as his husbands respires the salubrious gas cycle.[/color]

and can u pls bring your proof from the Quran??

agabasam: Jesus said I and the father are 1,,to have seen me,is to have seen the father, and NO 1 can go 2 d father except tru me.............the book of John confirms that he z God.............

why is it that we dont understand the scriptures most of us claim to follow(muslims inclusive). Jesus saying I and the father are 1 means u become 1 with the almighty once u are operating on the same wavelength with him.u also become one with God once u are in harmony with nature plain simple (the muslims call it friend of Allah, Buddhist call it NIRVANA). that was why jesus what does it profit a man to gain all the world and losses his soul (he is not talking of material things but telling you that everything u are looking for is already within you, looking for it is like giving your soul away. He also said pe patient like the servant waiting for the arrival of the master) ponder on all this meaning.
the book will guide you (The Power of NOW by Tolle Echkart)

Toluwarni: The truth is, its not going to work.. At some point he's gonna marry another wife.... And another, And another. Islam doesn't preach equality between men and women... So when you get married, your gonna become a typical house wife, or a sex slave...And the truth is, at some point one religion is gonna give way for the other. So its your choice... Marry a Christian man and live a life of freedom, or marry a Muslim man, get converted and end up as a slave.

who tell you there is equality in xtianityyour post actually expose that you have never study your bible or you dont understand everything you have been reading. women have been seen has property from time memorial and its peculiar to almost all religions of the world (with each showing different kind of intolerance the female gender). intolerance to female gender is another reason why all religions are seeing as fallacy by some people of the world.
madam/sir read your bible or google it and look for inequalities among genders

kasheemawo: how can i give my life to human being like me;can Jesus create a life? Stop joining almighty God wit marry son.think with ur head that Jesus was merely messenger to Israelites.SMH for u.

can u also see you are silly how did u know Muhammad was a prophet, were u there?? how did u know Jesus was a messenger (ohh because your Quran said so), grow up and respect individual way of reasoning and conviction.how are u even sure u are real and existing (can u prove it??)

foliks: I am a christian lady dating a Muslim guy for about a year now,the guy has been everything a woman can ever ask for in a man. Before I met him I dated my first boyfriend for 5yrs but those years were the saddest years of my life and each time I try to leave,he comes back begging and another relationship.

I was supposed to have left me because he found out my first boyfriend is still around now my first bf is back begging again and has gone to beg my aunty. Now my aunty who is like my mum cos my biological mum is dead has refused to support my new relationship and even said I should give my ex another chance since my new bf is a Muslim and now we are not even speaking to each other because she feels my new relationship is the reason am not accepting him back...


I don't know what to do,please what do you advice

my dear dont ever allow anyone to derail you with their reasoning. religion =culture+spirituality. being spiritual has nothing to do with religion but religion has everything to do with culture. check xtianity and u will see its full of roman culture while Islam is full of arabs culture. the spiritual aspect if u check standout the same for all the religions of the world.
dont be cajoled for this is you life and not a dress rehearsal and only can create the reality you want from it not what people tell you.interpretation differs which is why some people study hermeneutics of languages which happen to be the major problem of philosophy(the problem of infinite regression). in the end all that matter is you before you reconnect with everything else (how can you reconnect with everything else if you dont really know hw to create your own reality, the real essence of Christ which is SALVATION, the real wisdom of Muhammad which is SUBMISSION, the real understanding of Buddha which is Enlightment 'the end of suffering'.
please my dear follow your heart

doctorbabs: . am telling u religion will neva allow dis country to grow, why are we deceiving ourself as if polyggamy is perculiar to muslims, according to our holy is allow to mary more than one wife but not compulsory, abi whay is essemce of one wife, thousands concubines outside. who is decebong who?. if lady love the muslim guy let her go ahead if she ready to practise his faith or look for broda ezekiel in ur denomination

thanks for your post. the muslims call them kafr and they call them unbelievers. kettle calling pot black. we are in it for a long ride

nwando: Please say it louder
She won't say she hasn't been warned
She can choose to listen to you or the Muslim men luring her into hotel california,a place of unknown outcome

there is truely no difference between you and boko guys. yours is mind terrorist while they are what they are.people like you need to be shipped out of this country to where u all belong. kei we are in trouble in this country

nwando: Do you want the truth or do you want people to tell you what you want to hear?
I will give you the nak.ed truth.

Are you a Christian or a church goer?
If you are indeed a Christian ,you should know what your Bible tells you about unequal yoking
do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers your Bible says.
People can give you all sorts of examples but what does God say about your marriage with a non Christian?
It is outside the will of God for you and it is clear
If he is not ready to be a Christian,forget about him
A Nigerian woman in London was stabbed to death the other day by her Muslim partner because he wanted the children to be raised Muslims
That is the dilemma you will be faced,what will your children be?

If you truly believe that Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of the world and died on the cross for you and that no one comes to the father but by him,why on earth would you even consider marriage with a non believer?

open your Bible and read it and allow God to lead you.

Marriage is tough in itself,them to add an unbelieving to the mix
Who are you going to pray a prayer of agreement with when things are not going right?
What scripture will he admonish with?
What principles will you teach your children
Have you thought about other women on your matrimonial bed along the line

Laila Ikeji: Here, let's see if you are really ready for the year, *winks*

The fun of this test is when you do it first time without looking at the answer.

So, leggo!

Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which order would you solve them?

1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone's knocking, yelling for you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!

In which sequence would you solve these problems?

Write the sequence and check after the cut how your decisions were made.

BUT BE HONEST, THE FINDINGS ARE EXCITING.

Answer:

This test is called the Sigmund Freud's Priorities.

Every individual point represents something in your life.

1. Telephone represents Work
2. Baby represents Family
3. Door represents Friends
4. Clothes represent Money
5. Tap represents Sex

Your chosen sequence determines the priorities in your life.

Now....Who turned off the tap first?

http://www.lailaikeji.com/2013/01/are-you-ready-for-2013-take-this-quick.html

2 (baby)- Family 1st before any other
3 (visitor)- friends follow my family cos they are human
1 (phone)- work is important, the caller might not call again
5 (tap)- Dont wanna spoil my house with water, the job will be damn to much
4 (clothes)- Sun will come up to dry it again or i will use iron

JAkpayen: Sell EU @ 1.3280 to 1.3200 with SL @ 1.3300

PLEASE HOUSE WHAT DOES SSMA MEAN?

it means smoothed simple moving average. it is when SMA is smoothed out by some certain figures

rozayx5: gtalk - rozayx5@gmail.com ( all questions answered as far as am online )

i dont use gtalk, will be glad if u av another messenger. not that i have questions, i just wanna be aving some trading discussions this days

Instaforex is one of the broker i use for my medium term trading and i have been pulling out money without any issue. most of the time the broker is not the problem but we the traders are.Instaforex have a fixed spread for majors (at +3pips) and if one is a scalper it can really be a nightmare)

k2039: So because I will die,I shouldnt leave my mark on this earth

which mark bros. there is nothing great about things (people talk about doing great things). thing is thing.if people like they talk about you for eon, it doesnt change anything where u will be atleast none has gone there and come back (silence is golden cos its only there we realize our true self

honeric01: Why fear what you can't conquer?

thank you so much for your superb short answer.

Olamyyde: Anybody that says he/she has no fear is lying. Nelson mandela said "courage isnt the absence of fear, but the triumph over it" meaning the only time one can be brave is when he is afraid. Dont get me wrong, there is a diffence between having a fear and being afraid. Being afraid means letting your fear control you. There are 6 types of fears:
fear of death
fear of poverty(most destructive)
fear of bad health
fear of loss of loved ones
fear of criticism(mostly exhibited by teenagers)
fear of old age.
All other fears are grouped under these fears. Well for me, im afraid of the price of garri increasing.
I conclude by saying "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

bros u can be free of fear if u truely want to. fear is nothing more but identification with the mind, not surrendering to every moment that comes. by trying to reject or question every moment while using the past to project into the future and seeing the present moment moment as a means to an end not end in itself we invite fear which manifest itself in the egoistic body.conquering fear is what every religions preach, its the in-thing of spirituality itself.Islam means surrender while jesus Christ said be awake like the master. how can one be awake if we always fear what it is (something we cannot change). too much attachement to the past bringeth fear (things like videos, pictures, Award gifts and many more)

Damitism: We all know obama is the forerunner of the anti-christ

and what are you "backrunner" nonsense at its best. how do people think sef?

obowunmi: @ AbiL, while its true that someone cannot keep blaming his or her parents, if you don't know any better. Because of your parents, you can easily miss out on many opportunities in life. What happens is the cycle continues. Think of this in the Nigerian context:

Your parents commit atrocities of child abuse from when you were 2 until 9 years old, at 9 - you go to boarding school, maybe there your teacher beats you and what not - in boarding school, you may have an opportunity to see how other children live and hear what they say - the problem is that memories of violence never depart. Maybe you go back home after you graduate from secondary school, your father beats your mom, and he bullies you... You go to University and then you marry,

The problem is that there has been little time for reflection. Little time to heal, no counseling and what not. If you are not carefully, you can easily replicate everything you were exposed to as a child and the cycle continues for your children.

you are very very correct. this is exactly what has been going on in most african homes especially from where i come from. parents feel they need to pass down what they have learnt from their parents (viewing it as the best form of training simply because what they felt they have achieved without really finding out by reflection through the growing years). most of our homes train us to be zombies and not thinkers especially people like me that come from polygamous house
