Islam › Re: A Muslim Asks A Few Questions . . . by bilms(m): 9:16pm On Mar 08, 2009

May the peace and blessing of the almighty Allah be unto u.

i will answer ur question one after the other so be calm to listen to the truth with ur heart open.

davidylan:
Why cannot the Muslim males and females pray together, like other religions in a family unit?
The male and the female muslims (family) can only pray in there homes like other religion when they organize a special prayer. they cant do like other religion because islam come with devine revelation and not what u think.

other religion dont have a prayer they observe like the muslim. muslim have 5 dialy prayer which is compulsory for everybody and other religion dont.

the reason why male and female wont pray togethre is not becuase they cant, but because it is better for male to pray in the mosque and it is bettre for female to pray at home.

male get 10 good write when he pray at the mosque and get 1 good deed when he pray at home.

and

female get 10 good deed when they pray at home and get 1 good deed when they pary at mosque.

so if u happen to be the one, will u pray at home with ur family for 1 good deed when u can get 10 good deed by just going to the mosque?

- Why cannot a man pray with his wife and daughters?
i just answer that.

Why did Allah not have direct dialogues with our messenger of Islam, just like when God directly talked with the Prophets in the Bible?

prophet of bible, which prophet? definately not jesus.
to ur question. Allah had direct conversation with our prophet, but that was only when he went to receive the direction of prayer.
each prophet had his attribute given to him by Allah.

Prophet moses that had direct conversation with Allah, the attribute Allah gave him was (Kalamullah) meaning some one who can talk with God. and even jesus never had such opputunity or did he?

Why weren't there any witness to the monologues between Angel Gabriel and Muhammad, unlike Bible prophets, where there were so many witnesses?

witnesses. ofcourse there where witneses but not in all occasion. the companion of the prophet witnesses when jibril came to prophet mohammed in form of a person.

and besides, the amighty Allah is the greatest and he own no one explanation if he so desires. and if he really wish everyone to witness these at all times, he have the capability to do so.

another witness is Kadija, the first wife of the prophet. she witness the first revelation which angel jibril came to the prophet instructing him to read in the name of Allah the most high.

another witness is Aisha, the other wife of the prophet , she inform the companion about the away angel jibril use to bring revelation to the prophet. when they ask her. and note her father is Abu bakr. one of the righteous Caliph

Why did the Hadith say Jesus Christ would come again on final Judgment Day; but if Muhammad is the last prophet, why didn't Allah send him instead?

yes, jesus will come back says the hadeeths, but not as a prophet of Allah. and not with anyother book.

he will come as a muslim and read from the book of prophet mohammed. that is when he will differentiate between himself and the almighty as u regard him as God. and that is when he will let u know that he his not the saviour but just a messenger of Allah.

Why did Muhammad supposedly, go to Jerusalem on a donkey to rise to Heaven, instead of going to Mecca – Islam's holiest, or Medina-Islam’s second holiest, and why are there no witnesses?

He went to jerusalem because Allah instructed him to do so.angel jibril took him from there. the reason why he did not go throug mecca or other places is because he do just what the almighty instructed him. and the reason why there is no witness is because the almighty own no one explanation. and that is the reason why he said. those of u who beleive in the unseen. and establsih prayer and u take from ur belonging and give the needy. u are the people who have known the way to your God and in the day of jurgement you will be rewarded.

many of the things u and i believe, we do not see them, neither do our father's do. but we belive because the almighty gave us the understanding. but wait i will bring up a thread that will address more elaborate about ur questions.

Why cannot Muslims marry in a mosque, like others, blessed in their sacred places?

says who? muslim do nikka in mosque. but not dancing because his a house of God. and the place of worshiping the almighty deserve respect.

Why are muslims always so afraid to ask questions of their quran? What are they scared of? why are they so quick to threaten others who ask, delete threads and harrass those who innocently wish to be informed?

we are not afraid because we no the truth.

please ask any question. i am here for you. and insha Allah u will get all the answers from the Qur'an.

the reason why they delete ur thread is because u are too insultive. so change ur approach and come up with ur arguement in a mannered way.

i will always be there to answer ur questions.
Why can i not personally know allah? Why cannot i talk directly to him? why can i only see his back in jaanat? does he not love me?

lol. i can see u re very sentimemtal. do u no jesus u claim to be ur lord or saviour? from whom will jesus save u from. why dont u ask why dont u see who jesus will save u from.

u can talk to allah anytime u wish. and he listen.

even prophet moses who talk to allah, just as u see from the bible, when he requested to see him and Allah show him light, he fainted for one month and when he get back he says i do not want to see u anymore.

he says he want to see Allah because he talks to him. but seeiong Allah is beyond our sight

Travel › Nigerian Development Movement – Get Involved by bilms(op): 8:28pm On Mar 07, 2009

NIGERIAN DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT – Get Involved
(A call to social reawakening)

Nigeria. A Country since inception that has been plagued with civil war, coups (which instigated dictatorial regimes), infrastructural decay and underdevelopment, corruption, bad governance and social degradation. The country has challenges of which many read like a list of common problems in Africa: a non functioning democracy, freedom of speech or a lack of it, politics driven by ethnic chauvinism and biases along similar lines, lack of basic infrastructure, no accountability in government, defunct industries, a dilapidating educational sector and many more problems which serve as a hindrance towards genuine progress.

Such has been the fate of a country abundantly blessed with raw materials and people resources capable of lifting countries the world over out of poverty if properly utilised and yet the opposite has been the case with each new iteration of government, seemingly sliding Nigeria further into the trenches of underdevelopment and retrogression.

A country that while rich in its diversity, in seeming unism lauds its social morality exemplified in principles like respect for elders, community living, social life and service, and strong family bonds of which the people are proud of.
A country rich in individuals of various professions who while under appreciated by the current Nigeria have been able to blossom and receive greater respect in the global sphere. We have writers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, business men and entrepreneurs that contribute their services the world over and yet still can’t boast of a home country that is worthy of respect attained through progress, development and national principles expressed in the quality and leadership of government.

Wherever Africans are present abroad a Nigerian is very likely to be close by. Whenever Nigerians meet it is very likely that the issue of Nigeria is brought up at some point, an issue which seems to inspire passion, heartbreak at the situation and a desire to see change and development as attains in more developed countries especially when these changes are mostly simple in true implementation while only requiring the genuine will to implement and actualise them. Whenever Nigerians meet such are the characters of their discourse and such are the questions asked by people who traverse the length and breadth of the nation. The simple truth is that we have all been collectively let down by the nation called Nigeria and over the various avenues which allow discussion and debates like internet forums, news papers, television broadcasting, radio and the likes, one would find people debating on the issues of the nation time and time again while the nation continues on its path of degradation regardless of the quality of such discourses.

While the country is diverse in its union ranging from ethnic groups to religious affiliation, what seems unifying through all groups is the desire for development, the desire for change, the desire for a country to be proud of, a country to raise children in, a country with prospects, a country that can be a beacon of hope to Africa in terms of leadership, governance and development. Rather than letting a focus on what divides continue to stifle progress and development the belief is in allowing the desire for a better Nigeria unite as all. We have an opportunity each day to move beyond rhetoric, arguments and debates irrespective of how articulate, well debated or eloquent such are. We have the opportunity to instigate change and we can change the nation, we can work and act to bring about change in whatever capacity we are able to regardless of what field or profession we ply and regardless of our earning power, for change does not solely rely on such factors but on the genuine willingness to change and follow such desires with actions geared towards bringing about such positive change.

This is not a political party of any sort but a social movement. A social movement that seeks to bring about change in all strata of Nigeria which people are willing to contribute in. We invite and encourage all who want to contribute in whichever sector they are willing to contribute in. We welcome all who want to make an impact and we ask that all feel free for this is not about any one person but about the change we desire for Nigeria, this is not about any one person but about a people’s movement. This is a platform for working towards actualisations of set goals in whatever sphere anyone is interested in contributing in and in whatever capacity people are willing to contribute in to positively impact on Nigeria, we have the opportunity to act. This is not about being financially aggrandised but actions towards the greater good, not about power or egos but selfless service towards development. Democracy has being described as “government by the people, of the people, for the people”. What is sought is a reawakening of “the people”, you and I. Get involved and spread the word. Would you stand to be counted?

policeman and doctors

Salesman to Policeman
A salesman, tired of his job, gave it up to become a policeman.

Several months later, a friend asked him how he liked his new role.

"Well," he replied, "the pay is good and the hours aren't bad, but what I like best is that the customer is always wrong."

Kidneys and Livers
Two old men were arguing the merits of their doctors. The first one said, "I don't trust your fancy doctor. He treated old Jake Waxman for a kidney ailment for nearly a year, and then Jake died of a liver ailment."

"So what makes you think your doctor is any better?" asked his friend.

"Because when my doctor treats you for a kidney ailment, you can be sure you'll die of a kidney ailment."

Islam › Re: Why Is Pork Forbidden In Islam? by bilms(m): 3:03pm On Mar 06, 2009

May the peace and blessing of the almighty Allah be upon u all.

i am here to answer ur questions one after the other.

davidylan:
we know its not a new thing. Mooslims cant do without the bible because their own quran is nothing but unintelligible gibberish.

oh mr. the Qur'an is not unintelelligible as u said. but a book that contain devine guidance. the qur'an is the work of God and has been preserved by him. b4 the existance of the qur'an, that was when we have the bible. it was the almighty who sent jesus and gave him the bible as guidance and that is why when we quote the Qur'an, we have some refernce from the bible too. even if bible have been alter but yet some part of it still remian a refernce to authenticate the accuracy and the truth of the qur'an.

This IS the message of Jesus Christ - John 3: 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God

yes. u re right abt it. but what u are ignorant abt if far much what u understand.

jesus was sent to the jew. and as at then, he was the saviour and who ever follow him and be born again will see the kingdom of God. b4 jesus, we have amny other [prophets too and during there time, those that do not follow them will never see the kingdom of God. during jesus time, anybody claiming he follow moses is on the wrong part because a superior message has been sent with jesus.

the same applies to we in the time of the last prophet, who ever, i mean who ever denied the prophethood of Mohammed is heading to the wrong part.

and that is why Allah said. finally.

Conclusively, the religion that directly come from ur God to u is Islam. and who ever disbelieve in it and practice any other religion except islam.
that religion will be rejected. and in the day of jurgement such person will be among those that will perish.

Do you believe it?
so believing in that is not meant for us in this generation.

simply because the quran copied from the bible.

1. the bible existed centuries and in some cases thousands of yrs before the quran.
2. The quran does NOT in anyway represent eyewitness accounts. where did it get its "similar stories" from? Pls dont tell us "revelation". We've had enough of lies.

The almighty Allah sent jesus with it and not jesus alone but other prophets like him.Almighty Allah educate Prophet mohammed about the past. quoting from his previous messges. so claming that the Qur'an was copied from the bible is just the smae as saying the bible was copied from the old testament.

so the qur'an was not copied, but contain more detailed information which the bible and other books do not contain.

spend more time familiarising urself with the quran you hypocrite. You cant claim the bible is corrupt and then be familiarising urself with its stories.
Could it be you read the bible because the quran contains very poor excerpts of biblical stories that you need to ferret the bible to perfectly understand?

answer
We read the Qur;an every day. we pray five times a day and we use the qur'an. even if the bible is corrupt, but it still contain some little un altered truth which we use to convey the truth to u. we give u evidence from our Qur'an and for authentification. we still bring the same out from ur own bible.

that means u are ingorant about ur own book.

if u want to knwo how experts and authentic the Qur'an is, plz ask a question either from qur'an or other book and u will get ur answer from devine revelation which is the Qur'an.

we only refer to the bible most time since that is what u beleived in. if we quote the qur'an, u might say that is the Qur'an. but when i quote ur own bible to u and still convey the truth message. then u need to re-think and seek for the truth with ur heart open.

There is no knowledge in the quran to be sought. Why read the quran when muslims themselves need to read the bible to understand the myriad of stories in the quran?

we dont need to read the bible to understand the Qur'an. but we sort for refernce to get convinced that surely the Qur'an is the right religon. which we did. and if u dispute me.

plz come up with ur better way to expalain all these from ur own book. or anyother.
typical. Call them out on the fraudulent quran and they start crying about "hatred".

not hatred. but u are shying away from the truth. u dont have any genuine evodence to prove ur despute, but say wht u like.

so it hurts to see u are on the wrong path. May Allah guide u to the right path. u dont need to say amen because i just did for u. (Ameen)

We dont need comparative religion, its the ploy of the devil to insidously destroy christianity and supplant it with islam all under the cloak of "understanding".

If u are saying the truth, plz explain and if truely christianity is the right path we will see. i have what it takes to convey the truth to u. but allah only put who he likes to the right path.

What a joke. Islam is becoming a problem for the UK. how plz?
Why hasnt comparative religion become a success in Saudi Arabia? it has become huge sucesss because many who are behind the light saw the truth and they changed.

i have answred all ur question.

if u have more plz dont esitate to ask.

May the almighty Guide and protect u.

[quote author=No2Atheism link=topic=242149.msg3551695#msg3551695 date=1236280768], lol lol. , , Good Question!

now u got the answer.

davidylan:
dont mind the hypocritical fools.

Note ALL their examples of countries were "comparative religion" has become a "success" are predominantly christian nations. When they say "success" what they really mean is that islam has been able to gain a foothold and flourish under the very democracy they despise in their own desert enclaves.

about ur post, this is ur response., islam was gained groud from God mercy. and not from democracy or what u call. we have been in power ever b4 democracy. and we will continue to spread the truth. nothing but the truth. we will continue to be in power till the last day where we all wil stand b4 God. and then guess what?

We will also be the happy people b4 God.

why dont u seek for the truth with ur open heart instead of shying away.

if a muslim person commit a crime, it doesnot matter. and that those not concern his religion. every one will be responsible for his or her wrong did.

Islam preaches peace. and if i, u, or anybody did not get the message right, we are to be responsible for it. and when we get the message wrong or understanding it in the opposite way. we are to face the consiquencies of our did.

so get the religion right and stop saying negative thing abt us.

May the almighty bless and guide u too.

morpheus24:
The papau new guineans depend on the "Pig" as a signifcant source of their protein diet. Without it I don't think their kind would have survived to date.

It is evident that the lack of these essential proteins and even other nutrients which they find hard to come by have contributed to their morphology i.e stunted growth, skinny pyshic, women have small dried up breasts.

Though many cultures have detested this beast as an unnatural source of food, others without choice have depended on it for their SURVIVAL.

In other words if I have to eat it I would, otherwise it is not the best tasting of all meats.

My 2 cents.

My brother. no food is forbiden by Qur'an except that is unclean.

The objective of Islam is to purify all aspects of human life and soul. It
therefore insists that besides cleansing the inner self from contamination, care
must be exercised in the intake of food and drinks. Only the clean and pure among
them should be eaten and drunk. While answering a question in the Qur’a#n
regarding animals tamed for hunting, the Almighty has spelled out this general
principle in the words: ‘ all pure things are lawful to you), (4:5).
As an obvious corollary, all impure things are forbidden to the believers. While
inviting the Jews and Christians to profess faith in Muhammad (sws), the
Almighty has referred to the extremist attitude they had adopted with regard to
food and drinks in the following words:

And he allows them as lawful what is good [and pure] and prohibits them
from what is bad [and impure]; he releases them from their heavy burdens
and from the yokes that were upon them. (7:157).

so take note and may Allah help u.

bawomolo:
don't mind them, the massai should have died off by now. A likely reason for banning the eating of pigs is that early humans didn't have means of preparing them properly to avoid disease.

i have answred ur question.

all ur question and arguement has been cleared.

plz i mean no insult to any one. although some of my word might sound offensive, but am sorry for that.

May Allah guide and protect u.

Heavenly test

A Christian, a Muslim and a Buddhist die and arrive at the Gate of Heaven. An angel (or deva) stops them and asks, "Why do you come here? Can you tell me the reasons why you are allowed to enter Heaven?"

The Christian replies, "My ancestors disobeyed God, and I sinned all my life: I killed, I lied, I cheated my wife and I was greedy. However, Jesus died for me and all my sins are forgiven. So I deserve to enter Heaven."

"OK," replies the Angel. "Sounds good, but I must give you an entrance examination before you can enter." The Christian promptly agrees and the Angel asks him: "How do you spell God?" It is an easy question, and the Christian passes through the Gate.

Next came the Muslim, who says, "I did not do any especially good or evil things during my life but I was very devout. I prayed to God five times a day. So, I too should enter Heaven." The Angel replies, "It sounds OK to me, but I have to give you a test also. How do you spell Allah?" The Muslim passes the test and enters Heaven.

Finally, it is the Buddhist's turn. He tells the Angel, "I've done all the good things in my life and I followed Buddha's five precepts: I never killed, I donated to charities, I meditated every day, and I never cheated my boss nor my customers." The Angel replies, "That is very good, but there are no exceptions. You must pass the entrance test also in order to get in." Thinking that the test should be simple, the Buddhist happily agrees.

The Angel then asks him: "How do you spell Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva? "

the Buddisst cant spell it and the angel replied,Heaven is not 4 u.

abi u fit spell that?

In responding to the propaganda that if verses in the Qur'aan incite violence, I came across a set of five questions, that have been repeatedly asked and I am pleased to respond to them.

I am a Muslim and blessed to be one and I pray every one feels the same about their individual faith. My faith connects me with my Creator and answers the purpose of life, death, accountability, justice and results. The Islam I know is what the majority of Muslims practice around the world, it is universal, all embracing and pluralistic. I relate with every faith and see the same essence and beauty in them as I see in Islam. I am comfortable with every beautiful way people have come to worship the divine. We do not have to undermine other faiths to make our faith better, faith is beyond comparisons. Faith brings humility to oneself and not arrogance.

Some of us are too eager to point the fingers at the "apparent words in the scriptures of Qur'aan or any book that appear to be exclusive in nature ", my urging is not to get stuck in the given understanding of the scripture and re-examine and understand it from a perspective of inclusiveness, as God cannot be exclusive, if he (she or it) does, then he is not the kind of God we all believe; the causer, source of creation and the sustainer.

The questions and my answers;

Prophet Muhammad did nothing wrong or bad in his life?

He never claimed to be divine, he was a human like you and I and he mentioned that he will die like every one else and wanted to be buried like every one. His life was a model for living the life with human fallibilities and how to get up and be the best human you can be, despite the adversities. He faced a whole range of difficulties and accusations, as most of the humans would, and the way he handled the situations became a model for any human to follow.

Qur'aan is immutable?

Qur'aan offers broader understanding of the human issues and as such it has room to absorb diversity. We believe it is for all seasons and all times to come, it lends itself to be a guidance book for any situations, imagined and real. It is not a dogma to go against a good idea and become immutable, it is rather a book of guidance and you are free to practice it or ignore it, the choice is yours. You are accountable for your Karma and not any one else. What some Muslims have done in enforcing their way upon others is wrong, there is no compulsion in faith, and one can choose to be a Muslim or not any number of times. The apostasy laws were politically motivated and go against the very grain of Islam; free will.

Most people in power tend to dictate others, including "pushing democracy" onto others, or buying the influence or subduing others with the military might; the religion of Islam is about free will. Individuals are responsible for their wrong doing not their religion, just a Presidents ought to be responsible for his ( and eventually her) wrong doings.

1. Qur'aan was the true and final word of God?

It is the true and final word of God for the Muslims who believe in it, it is not for the Christians, Hindus, Jews or others who are not familiar with it. However, if one sincerely reads the Qur'aan, they will find the essence of Justice, fairness; truth and peace resonate in Qur'aan .

Finding the truth is your own responsibility, as you will be one to bear the joys and miseries of life based on what you believe or not.

Islam › Re: Can I Do This For My Wife If She Likes by bilms(m): 5:57pm On Mar 05, 2009

Assalamualaikum

Muslim jurists are of the opinion that it is lawful for the husband to perform cunnilingus on his wife, or a wife to perform the similar act for her husband (MouthAction) and there is no wrong in doing so. But if sucking leads to releasing semen, then it is Makruh (blameworthy), but there is no decisive evidence (to forbid it).

These parts are not dirty like anus, but it is ordinarily disgusting to man. But there is no decisive evidence to make it unlawful, especially if the wife agrees with it or achieves orgasm by practicing it. Allah, Exalted and Glorified be He, says: "And who guard their modesty, save from their wives or the slaves, that I heir right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy, but Who so craveth beyond that, such are transgressors.” (Al-Mu'minun: 5-7)”

In the light of this, scholars maintain that the husband is allowed to enjoy his wife through any means of enjoyment except anal sex, for that is strictly forbidden.

Dr. Ali Jum`ah, professor of the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence at Al-Azhar Univ., says further that licking, sucking and kissing spouse's sexual organs are all allowed, as long as it gives a person sexual gratification that will keep him away from Haram (unlawful) or starring at opposite sex (marriageable). But every Muslim must keep in mind that sexual intercourse is just a lust and passion that must be satisfied in a lawful way; it's not to be perceived as necessary as foods and drinks, as it's the case in the Western perverted ideology.

Shedding more light on this, Dr. Sabri `Abdul Ra’ouf, professor of Islamic Comparative Jurisprudence, at Al-Azhar Univ, says that it's allowed for the married couple to enjoy each other as long as what they do does not run counter to the teachings of Islam or violate the public norms. He also gives support to the view of Sheikh Al-Qaradawi that MouthAction or kissing private parts of the spouse is something viewed disgusting to Muslims, but if the aim is just kissing (without having constant indulgence in it) it's not sinful to do that, but people of high morality normally keep away from that, as not to give in to imitating non-Muslims.”

But note that it is not a practice of a good muslim.

cheers

Islam › Re: Why Is Pork Forbidden In Islam? by bilms(m): 3:16pm On Mar 05, 2009

the reason is here

Pork
Human nature has always remained averse to eating beasts. No one generally
eats beasts who tear apart their prey either through their long canine teeth or
through their claws or both to eat their meat like lions, tigers, elephants and
vultures etc. Such animals were never liked by man for eating. On the other hand,
quadruped beasts like goats, cows and camels which graze on grass and do not
have large canine teeth or claws have always been relished by human nature. The
meat of such animals has always been eaten.

Consider now the pig. We know that besides tearing apart its prey to eat meat, it
also consumes plants and vegetables. In other words, since the pig simultaneously
belongs to both categories it would have been difficult for human beings to class
it in either. Its plant consumption nature could have impelled some to eat it while
beastly nature of tearing its prey could have dispelled some from eating it. So man
could have faltered in grouping it in either of the two categories. It is here that the
Almighty told us that carnivorous nature in which it tears apart its prey is
dominant over its herbivorous nature, and therefore it should be avoided.
Consequently, in the Old Testament, the prohibition of pork is mentioned in
words which subtly allude to this double nature of the animal:
The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud.
You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses. (Deuteronomy, 14: cool
