That is what I am going through now, I have been calling her days and sending messages but she doesn't reply, so I just went to jer house to day put all my fears aside, her body language just showed it all. I am so sick now.
Haven't been able to eat, last ate yesterday. I put a spoon of spagetti in my stomach and had to go throw up before typing this post that's why I am landing on page 2 instead of the original page.

Amanda6: courses that have more applicants than the seats given, sometine u may have a high grade but no admission its not lyk ur result is not good, there are just 2 many people.4 example 9 people competing 4 one seat.

ok, thanks.
how do you know a course is restricted?

Amanda6: i thought msc in economics was a restricted admission course if so u should follow d advice of applying 2 a course related 2 it, because 2 get into restricted course no easy. Just apply 4 a related course and apply 2 a different school 1 dat does not have high admission requirement.

please what do you mean by restricted course, thanks..

The Rulings of Itikaf

Allah said:

... وَلاَ تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ ...

And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in Itikaf in the Masjids.

Ali bin Abu Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas said,

"This Ayah is about the man who stays in Itikaf at the mosque during Ramadan or other months, Allah prohibited him from touching (having sexual intercourse with) women, during the night or day, until he finishes his Itikaf.''

Ad-Dahhak said,

"Formerly, the man who practiced Itikaf would go out of the mosque and, if he wished, would have sexual intercourse (with his wife). Allah then said: وَلاَ تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ (And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in Itikaf in the Masjids.

meaning, `Do not touch your wives as long as you are in Itikaf, whether you were in the mosque or outside of it'.''

It is also the opinion of Mujahid, Qatadah and several other scholars, that;

the Muslims used to have sexual intercourse with the wife while in Itikaf if they departed the mosque until the Ayah was revealed.

Ibn Abu Hatim commented, "It was reported that Ibn Mas`ud, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Mujahid, Ata Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, Ar-Rabi bin Anas and Muqatil said that the Ayah means,

`Do not touch the wife while in Itikaf.'''

What Ibn Abu Hatim reported from these people is the agreed upon practice among the scholars.

Those who are in Itikaf are not allowed to have sexual intercourse as long as they are still in Itikaf in the mosque. If one has to leave the mosque to attend to a need, such as to relieve the call of nature or to eat, he is not allowed to kiss or embrace his wife or to busy himself with other than his Itikaf. He is not even allowed to visit ailing persons, but he can merely ask about their condition while passing by.

Itikaf has several other rulings that are explained in the books (of Fiqh), and we have mentioned several of these rulings at the end of our book on Siyam (Fasting), all praise is due to Allah.

Furthermore, the scholars of Fiqh used to follow their explanation of the rules for fasting with the explanation of the rules for Itikaf, as this is the way these acts of worship were mentioned in the Qur'an.

By mentioning Itikaf after fasting, Allah draws attention to practicing Itikaf during the month of the fast, especially the last part of the month. The Sunnah of Allah's Messenger is that he used to perform Itikaf during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan until he died.

Afterwards, the Prophet's wives used to perform Itikaf as the Two Sahihs recorded from Aishah the Mother of the believers.

It is reported in the Two Sahihs that;

Safiyyah, the daughter of Huyai, went to Allah's Messenger to visit him in the mosque while he was in Itikaf.

She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet accompanied her back home, as it was night. Her house was at Usamah bin Zayd's house on the edge of Al-Madinah.

While they were walking, two Ansari men met them and passed by them in a hurry, for they were shy to bother the Prophet while he was walking with his wife. He told them:

عَلى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَي

Do not run away! She is (my wife) Safiyyah bint Huyai.

Both of them said, "All praise is due to Allah, How dare we think of any evil? O Allah's Messenger!''

The Prophet said (to them):

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا، أَوْ قَالَ: شَرًّا

Shaytan reaches everywhere in the human body, that the blood reaches. I was afraid lest Shaytan might suggest an evil thought in your minds.

Imam Ash-Shafii commented,

"Allah's Messenger sought to teach his Ummah to instantly eliminate any evil thought, so that they do not fall into the prohibited. They (the two Ansari men) had more fear of Allah than to think evil of the Prophet. Allah knows best.''

The Ayah (2:187) prohibits sexual intercourse and anything like kissing or embracing that might lead to it during Itikaf. As for having the wife helping the husband, it is allowed.

It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Aishah said,

"Allah's Messenger would bring his head near me (in her room) and I would comb his hair, while I was on my menses. He would enter the room only to attend to what a man needs.''

Allah's statement:

... تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللّهِ ...

These are the limits (set) by Allah,

means, `This is what We have explained, ordained, specified, allowed and prohibited for fasting. We also mentioned the fast's objectives, what is permitted during it, and what is required of it. These are the set limits that Allah has legislated and explained, so do not come near them or transgress them.'

... َلاَ تَقْرَبُوهَا ...

so approach them not.

Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said,

"Allah's set limits mentioned in the Ayah mean these four limits (and he then recited): أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَآئِكُمْ (It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Siyam (fasting).) and he recited up to: ثُمَّ أَتِمُّواْ الصِّيَامَ إِلَى الَّليْلِ (then complete your Sawm (fast) till the nightfall).

My father and other's used to say similarly and recite the same Ayah to us.''

Allah said:

... كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّهُ آيَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ ...

Thus does Allah make clear His Ayat to mankind,

meaning, `Just as He explains the fast and its rulings, He also explains the other rulings by the words of His servant and Messenger, Muhammad.'

Allah continues:

... لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٨٧﴾

to mankind that they may attain Taqwa.

meaning, `So that they know how to acquire the true guidance and how to worship (Allah).'

Similarly, Allah said:

هُوَ الَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ ءَايَـتٍ بَيِّنَـتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمَـتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

It is He Who sends down manifest Ayat to His servant (Muhammad) that He may bring you out from (types of) darkness into the light. And verily, Allah is to you full of kindness, Most Merciful. (57:9)

^^
......And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques. These are the limits (set) by Allah, so approach them not. Thus does Allah make clear His Ayat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelations, verses, laws, legal and illegal things, Allah's set limits, orders, etc.) to mankind that they may become Al-Muttaqun

It doesn't say that.. Its clearly mentions when you are at itikaf. But logically its very difficult to because you are to spend most of the nights worshiping.

***** drop your eid message as well ****

O Allah let not my days of fasting in (this) month of Ramazan be the last obligation (end of my life term). I take refuge with Thee lest the dawn of this night breaks forth without me having been positively forgiven.




I never hear anything, this should be on FP.

^^
Thanks for the help.

femmoy: from experience,my advise to u is to wait till admission opens before u send ur toefl to the school.
apply first
send ur credentials to ur first choice school
send ur toefl through ETS

Say I write my toelf in august and I want to send it in november through ETS how do I do that?

Dot1: Av u tried

No I haven't, but I will very soon. By His special grace.

batteryempty: Go steal ets score now....

Oga no b fight naw. We are all here for some reason or the other, I want to gather as much info I can, I haven't written nor know someone that has, so don't judge me.

iceberg54: Didn't get your message bro!

Make una talk for here now! Haba!!
Make we to pick one or two things.
Thanks.

Was about to ask this myself

kellyemms: Hello house! I av done the Toefl english test. Can I send it to the school now? Or is it wen application opens in december I will send it?

ferdimako: I've seen it oh---76! Not needed for admission...Australian Embassy will make do with that score oh.All those Chinese and Indian students are coping. I might still use IELTS GT to lodge for the student visa,though.

Is it that hard? I assumed as a nigerian with the english we study with, one should be able to score the 92+ with ease?

kofsy: Looool why?

I want to do some business with him, so I am just passing it through you guys so I don't get scarmmed.

Please has anybody done business with this guy??


batteryempty

^^
Yeah, am the one.
I actually thought I could write it while I am apply for the schools. I am going to apply for masters not undergrad.

I want to apply to various schools in like 3 countries, does that 4 slot thing still apply?

My mind is made up already, early september by the special grace of the Almighty.

batteryempty: Template of a motivational letter shouldn't be the first thing....

Write ur language test first and have it send directly to the school in case of TOEFL.IELTS is also acceptable.

After writing ur lang text, the next stage will commence proper when the admission portal opens come december or so.

So I can write my toefl from now? But what if I am applying to various schools how do I send it to all of them?

Please is this also a student thread for inquiries or its just for people traveling for business and pleasure?
thanks in anticipation.

kunletune: my CGPA is 3.5 which is Upper credit for my HND and Lower credit for my ND.. do u hv answers to the question i asked earlier

Sorry I don't, I am also new here. Maybe you ask the experienced peeps here.

SimplyD: It should depend on the university, but most universities will accept a 2.2. But I want to believe you are planning for next winter / summer semester 'cos admissions to this winter semester are already being processed.

Thanks fore the help. I am apply for the next summer admission

steelie: Its not all about grades. So don't let your grades discourage you. I had a 2.2 and the course i applied for had about 400+ applicants, and i still got a direct admit. Check edulix forum and see posts of 1st class indians that applied in German unis that got rejects. So my brother, you can't tell if you don't give it a shot. Just make sure you read the program requirements very well before applying, and it depends on the relevance of your B.sc to the program. As for your grade, you are very eligible,since its a 2.23 in german grades.

Thank you, I really appreciate.

Hello..
Please I have been reading through the thread and I come across some places where people say admission is competitive and you have to have a good grade to have a chance of acceptance.
I always read where people say they have been accepted into 2+ unis and I believe they ended with a very good grade.
Please what are the chances of someone with 2.2? CGPA of 3.35 to be precise.. Thanks.
