nedu2000: D fact dat they identify themselves as a church,is what's paining me

Then you should go and hang yourself

It has been long reading such mandate here but it will be very hard to be applied. I hope this time around the Mods will strategised and makes it happen.

Despite all that, Sa'd did not care. He would not sell his faith and religion for anything, even if it were his mother's life. Hoping that his heart would yield upon seeing her, some relatives took Sa'd to his mother, who was almost dying.

Sa'd went to her. The scene was so impressive, even mountain rocks would yield and melt. However, his belief in Allah and His Messenger proved to be stronger than rocks and iron. He came with his face nearer and shouted so that she could hear him. "You know, by Allah, mother, if you had 100 souls coming out one after the other I wouldn't abandon my faith in return for anything. Then eat if you like or don't eat!"

His mother changed her mind. A divine revelation greeted Sa`d's position and supported it. "But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not..." (31 : 15).

* * *

Sa'd lived long. He secluded himself during the period of civil strife following the death of the third Caliph, `Uthmaan. Furthermore, he ordered his whole family and children not to tell him any news about what was happening.

Once, everyone was anxious to know his position, when his nephew Haashim Ibn `Utbah lbn Abi Waqqaas said to him, "O uncle, here are 100,000 swords which consider you the more entitled to that matter (i.e. the caliphate)." Sa'd responded, "I want out of the 100,000 swords, just one sword that if it hits a believer it won't do anything, but if it hits a disbeliever it cuts through."

I am much sure 2015 will be the actual time for knowing the standard of the country, people that are praying for the disintegration of the unity should work very hard there is possibility of their dream to come true.

The leaders should have themselves to blamed because the pocket money they were shared long ago will not be accessible to them and the struggle will continue.

The bolded part on each post stand as a lesson to learn, so kindly if not all we should endeavor hard to put some into practice, in consequence it wouldn’t end up reading the lengthy post worthless however, the history will also assist us to benefit from their greatness and the effort made to firm their believes integral. In addition it will also help and transform our rational towards the perfect deeds of these pious people.

kemiola89: Wow! Quite an interesting topic.
@chakula! Pls come and complete what you started, i hate suspense. *following topic* @deols! Dont keep us waiting. Get it on already! I am so loving this thread, do wish i could contribute but gat no much knowledge about it, still on the learning process though. May Almighty Allah reward you for this.

Have your update above.

He was blessed with success and accomplishment. Once the Prophet (PBUH) was sitting with the Companions when his eyes gazed on the horizon while listening to what was being revealed secretly and whisperingly. Then he looked at his Companions' faces and said, "A man who belongs to Paradise will soon appear." The Companions turned in all directions trying to learn, who this successful person may be. After a while, Sa'd arrived.

Later on, Abd Allah Ibn Amr Ibn Al-'Aas asked him persistently to tell him the worship or deed which made him eligible for such a reward. Sa'd told him, "Nothing more than what we all do or worship, except that I don't carry any spite or hatred towards any Muslim.'

This is the "Lion's Claws" as `Abd Ar-Rahman Ibn Awf had described him. This is the man whom `Umar chose for the great day of the Battle of Al- Qaadisiyah.

The Commander of the Faithful had insight into all his glittering merits when he chose him for the most difficult task confronting Islam and the Muslims:

- His prayers were heard and answered; if he asked Allah for victory, he would be granted it.

- His food was pure, his tongue was pure, his conscience was pure.

- He was a man who belonged to Paradise, as the Messenger (PBUH) prophesied.

- He was the horseman on the Day of Badr, the horseman on the Day of Uhud and in every battle he experienced with the Prophet (PBUH).

- And another thing, which `Umar would not forget nor underestimate the value and importance among the characteristics which should be present in anyone facing major tasks, was the strength and firmness of his faith.

-`Umar did not forget what happened between Sa'd and his mother when he converted to Islam and followed the Prophet (PBUH). At that time, all attempts to hinder and obstruct him from the cause of Allah had failed. His mother used a device which none doubted would conquer Sa'd's soul and drive him back to his people's idols. She announced her abstention from food and drink until Sa'd returned to his ancestors' and kin's religion. She actually carried on her hunger strike with death defying determination and had almost approached death.

To be continue in sha Allah.

Sa'd lived until he became one of the wealthiest Muslims. When he died, he left a great fortune behind. Although the abundance of money and its legitimacy are rarely to be found together, they certainly were combined in the hands of Sa'd. Thus Allah granted him a great amount of halaal money.

He (may Allah be pleased with him) was a great figure in the act of charity, as much as he was a great figure in the act of righteously choosing the sources of his money. His ability to collect purely halaal money was equal to, if not second to, his ability to donate it in the cause of Allah.

He became ill during the Farewell Pilgrimage, when he was accompanying the Prophet (PBUH), who visited him. Sa`d asked him (PBUH), "O Messenger of Allah, I own a lot of money and there is nobody to inherit from me except one daughter. May I contribute two thirds of my money as alms?" The Prophet (PBUH) said, "No." Then he said, "Then half of it?" The Prophet (PBUH) said, "No." Then he said, "Then a third?" The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Yes, and the third is too much. To leave your heirs wealthy is better than to leave them having to be dependent on someone. If you spend any money in the cause of Allah you'll be rewarded for it, even the bite you put in your wife's mouth."

Sa'd did not remain the father of one daughter because he was later on blessed with other children.

Sa'd used to cry a lot out of piety. Whenever he listened to the Prophet (PBUH) preaching or advising, his tears rolled down abundantly, so that his tears nearly filled his lap.

F00028: you want to know who "blasphemes" Jesus, research jewish literature. then ask your "small group of christians" to pray over that!

I can see the assignment is too big for him to do.

emcemayo: Subhanallah I envy the OP for d awesome reward u'll b getting for this thread , that said am going on research I'll insh'llah be back, may Allah uplift you all and CHAKULA barakallahu fee! That's all I can say

Ameen.

- First, he was the first to throw a spear in the cause of Allah and the first to be struck by one.

- Second, he was the only one for whom the Prophet (PBUH) hoped his parents might be his ransom.

That happened when the Prophet (PBUH) said to him on the day of Uhud, `Throw, Sa'd. May my father and mother be your ransom." Yes, indeed, he always mentioned proudly these two noble blessings. Thanking Allah, he always said, "By Allah, I am the first Arab to throw a spear in the cause of Allah."

Aliy lbn Abi Taalib said, "I have never heard the Prophet (PBUH) hoping that his parents may be made someone's ranson except Sa'd. On the day of Uhud I heard the Prophet (PBUH) say, "Throw Sa'd. May my father and mother be your ransom."

Sa'd was considered to be one of the most courageous Arab and Muslim horsemen. He possessed two weapons, his lance and his prayer. Whenever he pierced an enemy with his lance he hurt him; whenever he invoked Allah He answered. He and the Companions always saw that this was due to the Prophet's prayer in favor of him. One day, when the Prophet saw him doing something which made him glad and delighted, he made the following plea: "O Allah, make his spear hit unerringly and answer his prayer."

It was in this way that he became famous among his companions for his prayer, which was like a sharp sword. He knew that about himself; therefore, he never cursed a person. Sa'd would just trust Allah to do with him as He liked.

An example of that is what `Aamir Ibn Sa'd once narrated: Sa'd once saw a man insulting `Aliy, Talhah and Az-Zubair. He forbade him, but he didn't stop. Sa'd then said, "Then I will invoke Allah against you." The man said, "You're threatening me as if you were a Prophet."

Sa'd went away, performed his ablution and prayed two rak'ahs. Then he lifted his hands up and said, "O Allah, if You know that that man has insulted people who have already been granted by You that which is the best and his cursing of them has annoyed You, then make an example out of him." Only a short while had passed, when a stray camel went out of a house. Nothing could stay it till it entered a crowd as if searching for something. Then it attacked the man, and he fell between its legs. It continued to kick the man down till he died.

If this phenomenon was to prove something, then it proved primarily the purity of his soul, the honesty of his faith, and the depth of his sincerity. He always sought to support his piety by halaal food; with great insistence he always refused to take doubtful money.

International and Domestic prostitute at large.

The Holy Bible does not even spare God from illicit sexual aspersions being ascribed to Him;

In the case of the conception of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), God Almighty arranged for Mary to conceive Jesus by the intervention of the Holy Ghost, as witnessed in the Bible:

(a) "The Holy Ghost shall COME UPON thee (the question is,how?), and the power of the most High shall OVERSHADOW thee (again, how?). LUKE 1:35


Whereas in the case of Isaac, his conception took place in the womb
of Sarah by the direct intervention of God himself, as recorded in His
(?) Holy Book:

(b) "And the Lord VISITED Sarah, as he had PROMISED; and FULFILLED what he had SPOKEN. and Sarah CONCEIVED.......' GENESIS 21:1-2.

Please I need a good response from the highly educated bible vicars. Thanks Alot.

Patiently waiting for blissy4real comment because this thread is waiting for her comment on a serious note.

1.SA'AD IBN ABI WAQQAS.

As-salam `alaykum wa rahmat ALLAH wa barakatuh.

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Ra7eem

Al 7amduliLLAHi Rabb-il-`alameen

As-salat wa as-salam `ala nabiyyina Muhammad wa `ala alihi wa sa7bihi ajma3een

What do we know about this Companion (radhia ALLAH anh) except that he was the maternal uncle of the Messenger of ALLAH (salla ALLAH `alayhi wa salam)

The first part we'll dedicate to his (rA) life and the second to the great battles he had taken part in that made him the bearer of the title "The Lion's Claws".

Whenever he turned to the Prophet (pbuh) while sitting among his Companions, was greeted cheerfully by the Prophet (pbuh) saying, "He's my maternal uncle."

He was Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqaas. His grandfather was Uhaib Ibn Manaaf, the paternal uncle of Aaminah, the mother of the Prophet (PBUH). He accepted Islam when he was 17 years old. He embraced Islam very early. When he talked about himself, he said, "I witnessed a day in which I was third in Islam," which means that he was the third to embrace Islam.

When the Prophet (PBUH) spoke about the One God and about the new religion whose teachings he was to spread all around, and before using Daar Al-Arqam as a refuge for himself and the Companions in those early days, Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqaas had already sworn the oath of allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH).

Historical and biographical sources inform us that the conversion of Abu Bakr was the reason for Sa'd's embracing Islam. He may have been one of those who announced their belief in Islam after Abu Bakr convinced them. This group included Uthmaan lbn `Afaan, Az-Zubair Ibn Al-'Awaam, Abd Ar- Rahman Ibn `Awf and Talhah Ibn Ubaid Allah. However, that does not omit the possibility that his conversion had taken place secretly and he had believed even earlier.

Sa'd lbn Abi Waqqaas had many noble qualities which he could be proud of. However, he never arrogantly mentioned any of these merits, except for two great privileges.

Jaidey-one:
By the time this boko haram/jamb # is over the north would be back in the stone age. Smh

Mr bigot your hatred on North will probably leads you to your early grave. I am not a Christian but I don't know if the Christianity encourages it's followers to be displaying unacceptable and bad character on other people beliefs. Kindly the learned ones should orient this dude if he could listen.

I will go for SA'D IBN ABI WAQQAAS The Lion's Claws! - 1 In sha Allah.

Hmnnn

I discover this educative thread just now and, however I am expecting a mighty contribution in making the thread to be alive but unfortunately it was abandoned as if people don't have the contribution and the successes of the propeht companions as well as ther effort of making the religion what it is today.

Kindly I will appeal to you my Brothers and Sisters to pull our effort and makes the thread dynamic from now on. I will in-sha Allah pick a noble companion and discuss him (achievement performance and his contribution) with you and it wouldn't be quite long.

Babaji111: Though my wife has good characters

Babaji,

How should I verify your statement?

I think Maclatunji is doing a good job. He is not responsible for the warning statement; that was added by me to warn non-Muslims.

ok THAT is well. It is good to secure your business. Wishing you all the best.

deols: @Chakula, don't be too bothered about this issue. It is being discussed.

Noted!

deols how are you are doing? Hope you are doing great.

I don’t understand your last statement which may be is included after naming your sociable Muslims, Are you telling me that Maclatunji's way of moderating Islamic is not admirable? or was the statement that he placed on the section is invasive to you and Nairaland in general?

Kindly you can treat this situation between you and the moderators and, I can personally not happy the way things are happening on Nairaland. In all most all the sections that has to do with Religion and Politics things are getting out of hand and no measure that has been put in place, at least Mac is moderating his section the way he think is pleasing.

if You Seun is dissatisfactory with Mac style, so alarm should put in place and do’s and don’ts procedures should be attached to the offer of moderators before granting them the bid.

Bliss4Lyfe: All train services to and from the north must be stopped. haba aboki_ yariya_ boko_haram

Wait for your turn because the kinda of hatred and bigot you are displaying here on daily basis will catch up with you.

On every region of the nation there must be some issues that bothering its occupants but to my surprise you are not serious in addressing such issues however, with blind abhorrence you will jump into conclusion on issues that concerns north while plenty have lied at your door step without solution.

deols: if she wants it, there should be no problem once the people involved are not mahram to her. for example, her husband's sons cannot marry her but the husband's brother should be able to, with her consent(and not as an inherited property)

the husband's father cannot marry her.

Deols .... and you are finally take heart and look back unto this childboard.... it is well for you.
