^^^^^ Wa aleykum Salaam wa Rahmatullah Ta'ala wa Barackatuh. Alhamdullah. I'm doing fime.

May Allah reward you. Amin. And keep us us on His Deen. Amin.

I'm certain the sister is doing fine. InshaAllah.

@Congoshine; not wanting to mix it up with you, at all. but we must agree that to the straight out heterosexual who is married, a guy person in sin assembly room is a handwork of shaytan by his/her action.

to the same married heterosexual, who lost his virginity to his wife when they got married will say that even they young buck down the street with his unmarried girlfriend are also handwork of shaytan by their being unmarried.

the above are scenarios which will let you know what i meant by influence of satan in my earlier post.

Sweetnecta:
i am on the path of my forefather Adam [as].

i will no fall for the gimmick of shaytan [lana], the one you are advocating.

i know i would confuse you, congoshine, since i mentioned hell fire.

anyway, my last comment on the one on one with you. miriam is happy in her Islam.

Alhamdulillah. i am certain that her future will be brighter. InshaAllah.

Sweetnecta:
congoshine o; i listened to a tafsir of surah "Humaza" the other day.

in it Allah promises that the "Fire" of Hell will burn so fiercely that it will consume every part of the body simultaneously!

imagine touching the skin and touching the innermost of the body part, just that instant. they will crumble at the same time. and it will be repeated without ending and never getting used to. all gods will burn along with the worshipers like that, as long as these gods say that they should be worship, the reason Jesus of the Quran will not be part of the gods to be burnt.

definitely shaytan who excites them will be burn for sure.

i ask Allah not to count any of us as follower of shaytan. Amin.

you have a chance, man. you cant have any excuse now since we muslims on nl are playing rissala [being the carriers of the Islamic true radical monotheism] for you.

Sweetnecta:
i know about the oyotunji people in south carolina. in summer of 1990, i hung out with a family from there with 'yoruba traditional face marks [some people call it scratch, hence they are nicknamed 'tigers' as in the tiger clawa scratches]' in miami, florida. i am very certain that not all my forefather's traditions are ok. godly but not Godly, the reason we say they are idolaters.

i do not use 'beads', preferring to count with my fingers.

while Kaaba is where i turn my face in worship, it is not the building or anything in or not in it that i obey in doing so. i do so in the obedience of the Lord of all things Who commands me.

Qibla by definition is 'direction'. nothing more than that. Kaaba happens to be the spot of 'direction' for muslims.

While i consciously choose islam as my way, i therefore shun everything else. is there a god/God other than The One God? This is my God He Whose Face does not perish. Everliving, Always Sustaining, Capable and Never diminishes.

Please show me a proof that there is anything 'idol, statue, etc' housed in Kaaba, today.

you made allegation. i know you are doing the bidding of others for them.

go to youtube and you will see video of inside the Kaaba. no one worship the building, otherwise you will not even see anyone standing on it when they are spreading cloth over it. finally, Seyiddina Bilal Rabah used to stand on its roof to make the call for prayers. they used to stand on top of its roof before mic and speakers replace the old way of the call to prayers.

Sweetnecta:
did anyone understand congostine, in the immediate, above, for the most part?


since we muslims think alike, i will answer no. none of us understand you, congoshine.


we abandoned the idols of our forefathers for God Almighty Who created.


God say I am your Creator. I am the Creator of what you create.

so when clothes and raffia leaves are worn by a man pretending to become 'masquerade', at the end of it all, the masquerade is nothing without the creation of God creating it and giving it weak/fake power it does not have of its own.

or in your mind the clorhes and raffia leaves, alone can walk down the street, without man inside it or devicing a mechanism to move it, so that you may be gullible enough to think of it as something important?


congoshine, oba koso, is a gimmick. if you see a sango shrine, you can scatter scatter it and nothing will happen until the people who use it as the means of their livelihood begins to make noise. sango is dead if there was a sango in the first place. if it was powerful, he would not have allowed death to terminate him. and death is a creation of the God we muslims worship.


everyone, will experience, except The Creator.

Sweetnecta:
^^^^^ Alhamdulillah. She is not confused. She is having good life. Just because a child says crawling is difficult does not mean the child will not find excitement in it, and enjoys walking fast when walking properly is mastered.

Do we all have to be stationary like our forefathers when the chained masquerade can't even snatch the chain off the one that controls it? By the way is the costume able to do anything of its own without the man that wears it? This goes for all idolatry; ogun can't do anything on its own.


Congoshine needs to let the Light of Iman shines on his hidden congo in a cocooned bone.

By Miriam, a graduate student in Philadelphia

You may see me in the crowd in my community saying, “kedu” (hello) or chanting “eh” after “Igbo Kwenu” (“Igbo speak”). On the outside, I am your typical Igbo-American girl. However there is nothing typical about me – I am Igbo and a Muslimah (gasp!). Shock to you? Perhaps not, but to many in my community it is. Many Igbos and even Nigerians claim that “there are no Igbo Muslims.” Well, sorry to break it to you, but I am living proof that I am full Igbo and a practicing Muslim. When I tell Igbos that I am a Muslim, I frequently hear “tifaqua” (God forbid!). I am not married to a Muslim (a common thought among many), nor was I tricked into the faith by a fellow Muslim. I converted (Alhamduillah) because I felt like this was the right path for me – to convert to another faith- the same convictions that drove my forefathers before me to convert to Christianity. Others may claim that “Islam is not compatible with Igbo culture,” yet I challenge them to prove that Christianity is more compatible to our heritage than our traditional indigenous beliefs that preceded it for thousands of years. What many fail to realize is that we are a product of our environment. If Buddhists took control of Igbo land, we would most likely be Buddhist and still strong in that faith and conviction. My challenge for everyone reading is to analyze why you believe what you believe – and to respect and agree to disagree with others who may differ.

To be a Muslim in my community is difficult – not impossible, but challenging. Many of our practices, cultures and beliefs rest heavily on Christianity, even though Christianity arose among the Igbos in the 1900s. In fact, my great grandfathers were not Christian. How do I come to terms with cultural beliefs such as reincarnation? This belief is ingrained in my people. Even my grandfather, a Christian, believes in reincarnation – even though it goes against the principles of Christianity. Are masquerades (symbolizing the dead) halal? Is breaking the kola nut (see a kola nut ceremony) a preservation of my rich culture or an abomination in the eyes of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta ala)? How can I find a happy medium yet preserve my identity as an Igbo? Today, this still remains a challenge. I am still trying to find a community – even if small – of people of my own ethnic background. Are there people like me? I asked myself, “do Igbo Muslims exist?” Frustrated, I scoured the internet for anything – ANYTHING that would reassure me that there were people like me. Alhamduillah, I came across this blog – about an Igbo Muslimah convert named Ify. I contacted Ify immediately, and soon we became friends.

While I expected hostility from my own community, I am somewhat dumbfounded and shocked by the treatment that I have received from some born Muslims. This is certainly not an attack on the fellow Muslims who have embraced me and provided support, but rather a critique of the way some born Muslims interact with converts. You never know who might be a new Muslim – one may have converted only a few hours before your encounter. Your interaction can either help a new Muslim embrace their faith or help them leave it. I can sympathize with why a Muslim may leave Islam, due to a lack of community – especially if you are non-white. No one comes to you, and invites you for iftar during Ramadan. No one introduces you to people they know in their family who are looking for a wife. I can be assured that if I walk into a local church, I would at least be greeted with a “hello” or a “welcome” and a smile by one stranger in the church. As for the masjid? Not so much. Are some masajid unwelcoming? Yes – and I have yet to find a welcoming masjid in my area. I desperately long for the feeling of community, acceptance, and support, which is so critical to building my faith. In the predominantly Desi/Arab masjid I have attended, as a Black Muslimah, I am invisible – I exchange salaams with women who give me cold looks. At the end of jumu’ah, the congregation lingers, talking and exchanging greetings while I, on the other hand, walk away, and even question if anyone noticed my presence at all.

However, the hostility has also occurred at the hands of fellow Africans. I can recall one instance when I stood next to an African woman, not realizing that she was praying on her own before the calling of the adhan. I had just converted, and was still trying to understand how to perform salah. She later looked at me sternly and said, “You don’t know how to pray?” in front of others. Embarrassed, I made some excuse and apologized for the confusion. I was too embarrassed to announce to the entire group that stood around me that I had recently converted. She neither bothered to assist me nor to make me feel welcome. I never entered that masjid again. I would have preferred her to come to me and say, “Sister, I noticed that you were praying with me before the adhan? Normally, this is a private prayer.”

I am putting my story out there to paint a 3D picture of the life of a female convert to Islam that may be residing in your community. She was not a blank canvas before embracing Islam. Rather she had an established cultural identity and is trying to merge it with her faith to paint a picture of who she is today. She may not have the support of her family or community and needs the umma to become her second family. Honestly, if my faith alone rested in the hands of Muslims in my community, I would have left Islam long ago. However Allah (Subhanahu wa ta ala) gives me strength to persevere even through tribulations and I ask everyone to please make dua to make this easier and my faith strong.

But don’t shed tears for me, just yet. I have found a small group of converts that I can call on for support. Recently, meeting Ify and her crew has expanded my circle, Alhamduillah. On a Friday night, Ify, her Muslimah friends, and I went out for cupcakes and pizza. We laughed, talked and giggled the night away. As I sat next to these women eating my delicious pizza, I thought to myself “so this is what a community feels like.” Alhamduillah, I think I have found a niche – a niche not based on culture, race or ethnic affiliation. But a niche based on the principles of Islam and the fear of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta ala) alone. Personally, I prefer the latter. Because while friends, family, and strangers may isolate you, the love of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta ala) is so much greater and and more rewarding.

President Goodluck Jonathan and leaders of the People‘s Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday met with the leadership of over 40 opposition political parties ahead of Saturday’s rescheduled National Assembly elections and sought their support during the election, especially if INEC fails to live up to expectations. The meeting, which was held at the Legacy House between 11am and 1pm, however, excluded some of the foremost opposition parties including the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Labour Party. It was also attended by Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo, acting national chairman of the PDP Dr. Bello Haliru, members of the National Working Committee and some party chieftains including Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.


After the Legacy House session, the opposition politicians retired to Denise Hotel in Wuse Area of Abuja where they met and shared some logistics. When Daily Trust visited the hotel at 7pm, the meeting was not over but few participants, who refused to talk to the press, were sighted streaming out of the hotel with some consignments.[/size]

as much as i am a fan of Stella Damasus Aboderin,i think she just needs to shut up on this case.
aiming subtle jabs at her ex inlaws is cheap and depicts her as playing to the gallery.
If she has problems with them, she should either go face them or sulk in the privacy of her bedroom.
If she chooses to talk about it in public, by all means tell the entire story from your own perspective.
not giving the public sound bites.
we all know that the Aboderins are not paupers (the family are the original owners of PUNCH newspapers).
i have said it before, will say it again; to every family feud, there are three sides to it: his side, her side and the truth.
