KDULAR:
In the real sense oo., I think ist makes no difference, GOD is too BIG to care about religion , which is a way to make us feel we are doing swomething. Behold thwre are so many religion but there is only ONE GOD and CREATOR.

I hold the view that the issue stated that al musulima female should not marry a christian is just political. If in the Al qouran, there especially on the early chapters, the Christians and Jews are regarded as Al Ikthab ,( the people of the book) and there is injunction to consult them if there is any thing you don't understand. Then it shows an endorsement of those in these faiths. I now find it funny when Muslims will talk about the corruption of the Christianity based on non agreement with theology and the fundamentals of Christianity including the Sonship of Jesus and all that are led by the spirit of God. ( Me I believe as Prophet ( PBUH) was led by the Spirit of God through angel Gabriel to READ, then He is also a son of God, take it or leave it , that's what I believe). Theissue of corruption I know did not come from the Prophet pbuh but the later followers from whom the religion spread to the rest of the world and that propaganda endured till date.
You cannot judge me by your own standards, but by universal standards. HUMAN STANDARD.

We are humans first , created into a family in a society and we decide as times goes on what we want to believe. The Prophet (PBUH) was Arab first before he became a muslim and he wrote the Qouran in Arabic and not Yemeni nor Yoruba, nor German, nor Turkish etc Thus you become a Muslim or Christian or any by conviction followed by decision . So you appreciate and the primary identity God gave you. The tolerance in religion in Yorubaland is unsurpassed by anywhere else in the world, although it's eroding fast and I am using this medium to urge NLders who are Yorubas and indeed Nigerians to retrace their steps in this wise.
Marry who you unconditionally decide to love, happy and emotionally and all wise compatible with and let there be no hindrance based on religion.

u sound confused. read suratul ikhlas,chapter4 of the quran nd u'd c ow THEprophet can not be regarder as a son of GOD.

lailai, olorun ma je.

Xtians sef, no! way

the real hypocrites keepp showing their faces

Sweetnecta:
The Only True God. Allahu Akbar.

This is truly, by the mention of His Name, knees go down and faces prostrated.

This is not just just a saying, it is an action that one sees, and going around in this world 24/7 every day, from now till the last man alive.

Allahu Akbar!

I was doing my usuals online when I came about this site talking about eid celebrations from around the world. I checked it out and  not only was Nigeria out of the list, no African nation was mentioned. EH eh, that is not the racist me oo,  Its just the me that is passionate about what is mine. And how would they even have it when we have not taken the time to put it into writing, I always say if we don’t write our view of our own stories, who would??

SO came the inspiration to write this. A Yoruba proverb says ‘there is no particular way to the market’. There is no standard way to this celebration. And as Nigeria is highly multicultural, the manner of celebration differs among ethnic groups. From the Yorubas of the southwest, to the igbos in the south east to the majorly Muslim north, Eid is one special event!

Am a Yoruba girl( a typical one at that, lol) so I’d be writing on how we do our thing at my side. And you know what, I got MJ, my hausa friend to write the hausa way of doing it, Now am going to be needing friends from other parts of Nigeria. When they do write, we’ll get this post updated InshaAllah. Eventually, we’ll all learn of the other cultures in our dear country and people from other places might learn too.

Preparation

The preparation for eid starts from a week before it usually. The most important things at this time are the clothes to wear. Yorubas are well known for what is called Aso ebi, also known as and-co. The family shops for a common material to be worn by all its members. Some have a particular one for the boys and another for the girls. These are given to tailors/fashion designers(we have got many of them oo) and trust my Nigerian folks to want the latest trends in fashion for their eid celebrations! Shoes, bags, goggles(for children) and other accessories are gotten to match the clothing. Every child loves this part of it- they go hiding their clothes so no one sees them until the D-day. I can remember always going to peep at mine as a child, I still do this sometimes

Then comes the food. It is Usually rice, amala and pounded yam. Amala is the real deal for adults and children would always go for rice.

By this time, eid is very close and the next thing is to keep the house clean. washing, fixings and all. If you have a generator, that’s when the petrol is bought too- no one wants a blackout on eid day!

Finally, there’s the need to cut those nails, plait that hair(for girls) and visit the barber’s shop(boys).

If its eidl adha, the ram must have been scaring the children and making the whole neighborhood know of its presence.

The D-day

wow! dressed up, everyone goes for the eid prayers. The Eid ground is always a spectacular site with a blend of colours from the beautiful outfits. Some eid grounds have large tall trees or beautiful gardening which further give them serene looks.

Of great importance is d ‘barka de sallah’ hat worn by children. These are sold at the eid grounds and parents rush to get for their children for every child sees them as  part of the celebration.

Ice cream is one of the main things sold at the grounds. This you don’t usually get until the eid day. yoghourts and all forms of snacks  are just part of the eid. Earlier, before getting for the prayers, it is common practice for the elderly to give eid gift(usually money) to the young. Also the husband gives his wife. Child to  the mother and so on. This is usually given in new notes- we wld keep some until long after eid cos they were just too new to be spent,  . These monies provide for the ice creams and snacks of the day.

Every one goes back home where the mothers do the cooking. Home usually means the extended family home. Family members from far and near meet here, have fun, discuss their various lives. Cousins get to meet and so much re-unions happen.

It is common practice to take food to the neighbours whom are usually Christians. For eidl adha, meat from the killed ram is also given to them.

There is so much merry making, singing and dancing.

By evening, it is time to visit others and to be visited. Non muslims usually come to take part in the feasts at this time.

Day after eid
This is when the outdoor part of the celebration is done. many people go visiting relatives. Others go to parks, and eateries (mr.Biggs and co) have a boost.

Eid in Islam is for three days but the official holiday is Usually for two  and that doesn’t leave room for more celebrations.

EPILOGUE
Anytime we witness eid, let us thank Allah for the previous year, plan for the coming one, make corrections for our mistakes and make resolutions on them.
May we live long to witness more of this. Eid Sa’eeeeeeeeeeed!

Now, part two is on how Hausas do it, I tell you, you don’t wanna miss that,

I second

FIX ur house toba
dont put odas luggage on ur head while holding urs.

tobalase,
i yield not to ur request

Frosbel is soooooo immature

i dont c a reason for these.

@ toba,
i can c u'r avn a good time,

P.s- My muslim siters arent going to be lured into marrying u. Ur aim is obvious- to convert them into xtianity nd dats not goin to happen by Allah's grace

@ toba,
now i leave u wv frosbel,

frosbel:
^^^

You are a heretic for saying that there should be marriage between Muslims and Christians.

May God have mercy on your soul !!!!

I hav a dinner to attend!- mo n kiri odun lo

ttyl

toba:
thats why yoruba wouldnt join boko haram all in the name of religion

yorubas wont join boko haram because of their understanding of the religion

afam4eva:
I'm still of the opinion that a hard-core muslim cannot marry a Christians because they'll disagree on so many things. One of the couple will have to either convert to the other's religion or  take it down a little bit. Because two fanatics in the opposite direction cannot live peacefully. That's what i think.

abi oo, y wld anyone bring wahala into their own household. It is marriage w'r talkn about here, not mere friendship.

afam4eva:
Exactly. That's why we never hear of inter-religious crises in Yorubaland.

i dont like people playing the tribal card. It all boils down to ur understanding and not all hausas support bok haram- many of them are victims too.

toba:
u know thats a lie about islam. what are the islamic sect boko haram fighting for? whats their agenda?

av bn here long enoff to know wat ds is. 'lets call dem terrorists wen we run out of  point'  

well, i av told u my definition of Islam, d boko haram av told u drs- choose one  

toba:
yea it was an error. however try to force some kinda practice on some innocent young ladies that might not go down well with them is what?

wen u preach xtianity, are u forcing some ideas on somebody's throat Islam is goodwill nd dr's no compulsion in it. It is also total submission to the will of God. SO, reminding fellow Muslims of what is expected of them isnt a forceful act.

OLASODE2K:
Islam while allowing moslem men to marry christian women forbids those between moslem women and christian men. The reason is both tactically and strategic. Tactically in sense the if such marriage is allowed, it would lead to one in which the husband, as the head of the family, would use his tremendous powers to restrict the freedom of the woman to worship Allah freely. Its strategic importance is dat it bcomes quite risky that islam might lose that woman to another religion thereby depleting the moslem folks.

makes sense!

Many pple wu think such allowances as ds are for the good of the muslim men do not understand Islam.

A man is the shepherd of his household and would be asked about every individual under his keep. A muslim man who marries a xtian woman would be working so hard to keep his children on the part. If they stray as a result of his choices, he has a great case to answer before God. So a muslim man married to a xtian woman better not feel like he has one big priviledge. I would call that a TEST.

Just like in polygamy, d man is under a great test. How just can he be? A fear of the above is enoff to keep any man away but most dont know.

toba:
abeg tell them. just imagine how this doels have been defending absurdity. this is an indirect slavery. i pity some muslims that would follow most of what these muslims have been saying on this thread

u call ds slavery??
dey are not forced to marry anyone. dey'r only given a guideline.

i'd assume calling me doels isnt deliberate.

frosbel:
No surprise here , what will an old man want with a young girl  


I go die ooooooooooooooooooo    

wat does a young girl want wv an old man. MONEy?? Materialism??

toba:
i dont want to get angry with what u ve been saying so i will control myself. what kinda yeye benefit do our girls get from your men? what are going to do about your fellow muslima that are willing to marry xtian? u pple arent well informed at all at all. smdh

nice of u to control urself hahahah.

am serious about the benefit. Am talking from experience. Yu'll c many of those big men goin after xtian girls wu wld marry them  obviously for the reasons i mentioned.

but that is not to say ds is it in all cases. dats y i sed many of d time.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA link=topic=748203.msg9047158#msg9047158 date=1314794694]excuse me my dear friends. this is a bit complicated. let me explain this issue a bit. Before the advent of islam and christianity, tribe was inseparable from religion. Every tribe in this world had its own religion. Nowadays, because of islam and christianity, many tribes around the world have lost their original  religion,  which has been replaced by one of the two, like a virus. As a result, when i say tribe comes before religion, i am not referring to the original tribal religion. I am referring to these foreign religions.[/quote]

do u believe in GOD

frosbel:
How can I be racist when I am a raisin head black negro

i can nd should forgive u now. Racism is only against blacks ughn?? just like xtians are the only victims of terrorism??
u are highly myopic

frosbel:
@Laalamed

You have to understand that because ISLAM is not a spiritual religion, they can only grow their religion by two specific methods :

1. The sword - This is Jihad , to forcefully convert people to ISLAM

2. By rapid procreation , hence the issue of 4 wives.


There is another lesser method used but which is not very successful, i will say success rate 0.9%, is Jihad by deception. Telling lies to lure people to ISLAM.


Christianity on the other hand, ( and I do not mean Catholicism etc ) can only grow by a spiritual birth into the kingdom of GOD. You see God is not concerned about numbers but about the quality of holiness and righteousness of his followers and their LOVE for him.

You are not and never will be born a Christian physically , ONLY by a divinely initiated encounter with the living GOD, Yahweh, our Father, creator and lover.

Amen.

LOVE to ALL MUSLIMS.

Faithfully FROSBEL.

u can say wat u like but the issue of polygamy solves much more than u wld admit. is it not worse that your women are turning lesbians nd fathers turning gay

toba:
good point. this is high level of hypocrisy. u can pick on our girls but we cant touch your ladies. the Muslims wouldn't see the illogicality in this cos of brainwashing. smdh

ur girls av a choice. Like i said earlier, they marry Muslims for the material benefit many of the time

Laalamed:
Christians should marry only in the lord.in islam,muslims girls are not allowed to marry 'infidels' but muslim men can marry women from other faiths.that is hypocrisy.

a man who prevents his children from going out late at night but comes back late from work is an hypocrite by your definition then??. Common sense is all anyone needs sometimes!

frosbel:
^^


Islam is close to Christianity , yeah right 



Did you know there are similarities between Islam and Buddhism

have u ever heard of the word abrahamic??

u can find google helpful

frosbel:
decency , common among Muslim girls.




Please don't even get me started on this one.


Is it Kano where where both Full Hijab and Half Hijab wearing girls mess up, you see so called holy Alhajis fornicating with every Jane and Judith ,  or is it  Oyo and Lagos states where Muslims girls are , ,  in fact I won't say it !!!!

did u c d word common

of cus dr are always d bad eggs. Generally, muslim girls are d most decent.

frosbel:
God forbid that a Christian who has the Holy Spirit of GOD  , a new creature in Christ JESUS ,  should marry a Muslim.

A cousin of mind in the UK was going out with a Muslim Asian lady and the mother was heart broken , I personally was mad . Now this is not because I hate Muslims but because I see ISLAM as totally incompatible with the life of a true follower of JESUS. One is darkness and the other is light ,  one worships Yahweh and the other worships ALLAH.

So in the same house the husband will pray in Jesus name and the wife will be saying Allah-u-Akbar , I say GOD Forbid such a thing to happen !!!!


A truly born again believer ( I am not talking about nominal church goers here ) will never even consider marrying a Muslim woman except she repents of her sins and wickedness and becomes born again.

Why will anyone want to marry a woman covered in black 24x7  

I choose freedom over bondage.

grow up frosbel, grow up pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
i'd expect that follow Jesus in totality, Where is your claim found in the bible, to start with.

toba:
how does this affect xtians? didnt your koran talk about jesus and his followers as believers in God?

yes, d christians of then, who were monotheists and not those of three-in-one

Teejazy:
@toba or watever u're called, it's clear dat u're a xtian y not stick to your fellow xtian ladies or u want them to remain single 4life.

abi ooo. He is after decency, common among Muslim girls
