[quote author=frgy_]And what is that all about please ? As a muslim(I assume you are one from your statement) , you need to guard your utterances , say only what is good or keep shut , as the Prophet (SAW) admonishes us
You would have done more good by simply explaining to him that the sighting doesn't matter after the 30th day. Simple[/quote]Gbammmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

apacheguy: yeah! from the counting of days in the lunar month, the moon is suppose to show up on the 29th day wch signifies that the days of that particular month is 29 days, and if it doesnt show up on the night of 29th day, then the month extends to 30 days...so, since its not showing up today, we'll fast tomorrow wch makes our fast 30 days and we'll break the fast...i hope this is informative!

good!!!! Atleast not all of u are daft.

apacheguy: the moon has been religious significant right from time immemorial in islam, so its not a new thing...and that tells you that islam is a religion which has direct link with the divine, divine in the way it is been practiced and its ideologies, it is neither man made laws nor made made principles...go make some research and you'll understand better!

Now some of u are making sense, that shows that u really fasted and not those belle fulled pretenders laying abuses here and there.

ashson: it is significant because weneva d moon shows up marks d beginning of a new month, which lasts in 29 or 30 days. islam goes with nature if u dnt knw, not like your gregorian fool dat can only calculate base on common man reasoning

Who is the gregorian fool u're talking about?

get serious with this, it's no scam!

Those he had seen lately wasn't good for him, so I am in a special way, extending this search to NL. Be da lucky girl.*NOTE* U must be a virgin, nt joking o. Now, if interested please post ur email, facebook, twitter, bb pin and ur best pix aswell. GOODLUCK TO THAT LUCKY CHICK.

[quote author=Area_boy]Having read through, I notice a lot of assumptions and "out of context" reading.

For the guy that said Abraham and Solomon went to heaven, there's no evidence for that in the bible. The bible only accounts for TWO people to have gone to heaven. Elijah (2Kings, 2:11) and Jesus (Mark 16:19 and others). (u might wana read John 3:13 though )

The only thing we have to go with here is what Jesus said. And that alone is a brain teaser .

Bottom line, forget about heaven and focus on the life we have now. Be good to others and keep an impeccable moral standard. If that's not good enough then fck it [/quote]How can u forget heaven when all the good deeds u do and tend to do are directed towards being there at the end. I believe that the thought of heaven strenghtens the struggle. How can u say that even Abraham is not a sure heavenly saint? What about the Abrahams bossom?

Uyi Iredia: Joseph of Arimathea was a rich man who was a faithful disciple. Riches don't necessarily stop one from entering into heaven.

Now that the world is full of trouble, what more can we do.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]The bolded is the trouble. Anything in this would can become a hindrance if you place it above God, His Word and His Spirit.[/quote]Yes yes yes u're right, and thats the enemy we face and because of the bolded we work, fight, bragg, show our pride and kill for it. Because we think money can protect us we then forget our devine protector*God* these things are the dragnets to hell. Does it mean we should go poor?

U guys really shower great light on this, but lets view this on this direction. What about nowadays rich men, with all the complexity and luxury of life? Public problems here and there is affecting and accumulating into our individual problems. People can't make right decisions anymore. Social problems and much more temptations are archered everywhere like arrows. The rich are always put under pressure cus more is expected of them. Pride, power, fame, more money(because u can't afford to be poor again now that u are rich) at all cost! Am a millionaire alright(not boasting though) and a face all these problems especially the social aspect. Most time I don't put God first(it's a shame), not that i want to but just alway forgot. Now how can I and others alike and more of than me get through all these and still make this heaven? Looks kinda difficult.....

Talking about Solomon and co who were rich but made heaven, these were special people, we're talking about people of our time with all the complexity of nowadays!

please i need a tangible answer.

The word of God made it clear to us that it'll be easy for a carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven.Does this include the good, bad and ugly? It does sounds like a curse, doesn't it? Now the problem is, can any rich man on earth possibly make heaven, whether by mistake or whatever way! Am afraid, what if I get so rich which I know would happen soon, but guys i want to make heaven. Please what can one do to escape this? any idea, clue, please share because it's really obvious to me!

long story, cyber cafe go do am 4 dem.

O boy eee i've being laughing since. Ogaa Sheik, e bey like say u wan go the main yankee abi, u go enter airplane and land for Uyo. The weed is affecting ur body and spirit.

okwu nkasi obi. Fowl, turkey, fish, goat, sheep, bushmeet! C'on name them, they're everywhere and are begging and fighting to be the christmas stomach celebrities, and don't forget that the goat is fighting for his title*scapeGoat*

Samsung Electronics won't be able to
use the testimony of one of its key
designers in its case against Apple,
according to a court document filed and
signed by Federal Judge Lucy Koh
yesterday.
Hyong Shin Park, who was the lead
designer for Samsung's F700 phone, will
be barred from testifying, as the court
sided with Apple's request to keep her
from the courtroom.
Park has said that Samsung's phones
were inspired by a "bowl of water" and
not the iPhone. Apple argued that her
project, the F700, isn't in the list of
accused phones, and that her testimony
isn't relevant to the case.
She was to be part of Samsung's case as
it takes its turn in the ongoing trial
against Apple in San Jose, Calif. The case
picks up again today, with the trial's
outcome potentially shifting the
bargaining posture for both parties, and
possibly getting the two sides a bit
closer to finding a resolution.
Samsung said in a document filed Friday
that Park's design patent dates back to
December 2006, before Apple launched
its first iPhone.
Park was expected to detail the
evolution of the F700 project, including
how the company went about choosing
which features to include. That's a key
point in this trial, with Apple accusing
Samsung of copying the look and feel of
the iPhone. Samsung has argued that
the choice of shapes such as the
rounded corners or rectangular shape of
the device have nothing to do with
design and everything to do with
functionality.
Apple has argued that her testimony
isn't relevant because she didn't design
any of the products it says copied the
iPhone's look and feel. Apple noted that
Park herself wasn't aware of any of the
Samsung phones being based on the
F700.

Manchester United’s pre-
season preparations
continued with a 0-0
draw with Barcelona in
Gothenburg in a game
which saw Wayne
Rooney miss a first-half
spot-kick before losing in
a penalty shoot-out.
Both teams fielded strong line-ups in the
showpiece friendly which sold out in 45
minutes, saw the ball arrive on the pitch by
helicopter and featured a firework display
after the final whistle.
United included fit again Nemanja Vidic in
defence with Wayne Rooney and Danny
Welbeck up front and new boys Shinji Kagawa
and Nick Powell starting on the bench.
Barcelona, meanwhile, were near full strength
with Carles Puyol, joining Andres Iniesta,
Lionel Messi and Alexis Sanchez in the starting
XI with David Villa amongst the substitutes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly it was the Spanish
side who started strongly, characteristically
dominating possession and enjoying the best
chances of an entertaining first half.
Indeed it took less than a minute for
Barcelona to get sight of goal, Iniesta firing
goalward but his shot was easily saved by
David de Gea, returning to the United team
after his Olympic efforts.
Minutes later and the Spaniard was at it again,
dinking a delightful ball over the United
defence and into the area for Messi. De Gea
came flying out of his goal but could only flap
at the ball, but fortunately for the Red Devils it
skipped out of play before Messi could tap it
into the empty goal.
As the half wore on, Barcelona began to profit
down the United right, with Tello exploiting
Antonio Valencia at right-back and frequently
finding acres of space but unable to pick out
team-mates in the box.
United, meanwhile, were reduced to half
chances. Indeed a Rooney header that flew
wide and a low shot from Nani that flew past
the post after a gorgeous cross-field pass by
Scholes were all they had to show for their
efforts in the first half an hour.
Whilst it may have been a friendly, that did not
stop Scholes getting his name into the book
after a sliding challenge on Sergio Busquets
left the Spaniard in agony.
However, with time running out it was
another late challenge that almost gave United
an undeserved lead. Cristian Tello upending
Nani in the penalty area, leaving the referee to
point to the spot with just a minute left in the
opening 45 minutes.
Up stepped Rooney but his poor effort was
easily saved by Victor Valdes, who parried the
ball straight back to the England international
who put the rebound wide as the game went
into half-time goalless.
The penalty miss was to be Rooney’s last
contribution to the game, the striker being
part of a whole raft of changes at half-time as
Kagawa and Michael Carrick joined the fray for
United whilst Xavi, Pedro, Gerard Pique, Pinto
and Cesc Fabregas arrived for Barcelona.
Substitute Kagawa almost made an instant
impact, a good lay-off from Welbeck allowed
the Japan international to shoot low and force
Pinto into a diving save, as he tipped his
fizzing effort around the post.
Further changes followed with Dimitar
Berbatov and Powell introduced by Sir Alex
Ferguson who looked visibly frustrated on the
touchline; irritation which only grew after
Busquets pulled back Nani on a United break,
only for the Portuguese international to kick
out and force the referee to book both men.
Yet despite the attacking talent on view, there
was to be no breakthrough, with the crowd
treated to a penalty shoot-out after the 90
minutes ended goalless.
First up was Nani, but after a stuttering run
up his effort rebounded off the crossbar and
away to safety. Xavi then slotted home coolly
for Barcelona before Ashley Young also
missed for United, leaving Gerard Pique to roll
home the ball for the winning goal.
