obiekunie2: Your question sir is so dumb and stVpid.
this young man asked questions based on what he read from the Quran and all you could come up with is asking him first if he is a christian or a muslim.
fact is, you dont have the answers he seek - or rather let me put it this way - you know the answers he seek but your penchant to lie in other to defend your religion is already showing.
FACT IS, ISLAM BORROWED FROM THE BIBLE, THE BUDDHA AND THE TALMUD TO WRITE YOUR QURAN. THE QURAN IS SO MIXED UP WITH TALES BY MOON..... THAT NONE OF YOU CAN CLARIFY IT - HENCE THE RESORT TO IMMENSE VIOLENCE TO SCARE PEOPLE FROM ASKING QUESTIONS BUT ONE THING I KNOW FOR A FACT - LIES DON'T STAND THE TEST OF TIME. THAT RELIGION WILL SURELY IMPLODE IN FUTURE WHEN MEN ARE MORE SMARTER, BOLDER AND STRONGER WITH LITTLE OR NO FEAR - THEN, THAT WHICH CANNOT STAND THE FUTURE SCRUTINY WILL FALL.
ISLAM: QURAN - BORROWED FROM THE BIBLE, THE TALMUD AND THE SANSKRIT
ISLAMIC PRAYER: BORROWED FROM THE BUDDHISM PRAYERS AND PRAYER BEADS
ISLAMIC MOON FASTING: BORROWED FROM THE ANCIENT ARAB PAGAN RELIGION DESTROYED BY MOHAMMED
ISLAMIC KAABA: THE KAABA WAS FORMERLY THE TEMPLE OF AN ARAB GOD WHERE PILGRIMS COME FROM VARIOUS PART OF THE WORLD TO MAKE BLOOD SACRIFICE. AFTER MOHAMMED DEFEATED THE TOWN OF HEJAZI IN THE CITY MECCA, HE CONVERTED THE TEMPLE TO ISLAM HOLY SITE!
WE KNOW ABOUT ISLAM BUT WE JUST CHOSE TO LET ME WALLOW IN THEIR DELUS....
DON'T EXPECT TO GET HONEST ANSWER FROM THAT JIHADIST!
thanks. You have no idea where I was going with my question, and my question was not directed at you. I don't know you. But thank you very much because my question was meant to "diagnose" Informer155's aims and objectives for this thread. So you forfeited everything. I am under no obligation to answer anything because you just proved my suspicions.
I have been active in this section for 5yrs in a row and I know exactly how CHRISTIANs think and how they behave was the reason for my question.
Thank God you didn't disappoint with your rants. You really saved me from wasting my previous time with op. I thank you very much again, sir.
Now I can unfollow this thread. If op has anything serious to talk about he's free to call my attention. But for now, it looks like you are his mouthpiece which means you are too forward to reveal his agenda that I have long suspected.
Have a nice day.
Op (Informer155), this guy just ruined your chances of getting your questions answered. If you have genuine questions and sincerity behind this thread, onus is on you to prove this guy wrong and prove yourself.
Informer155: Those are the two important questions I asked sirs.two guys gave me answers......and disappeared when I replied them. Hope you guys won't disappear too
**The stories I read in Quran about Noah,John,Zacharias, Mary,Jesus etc is so unreal,funny and dramatic compared to the BIble.world believed that Bible existed more than 600 years before Quran.so which story should I believe in? Example: Allah SWT said:
قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً ۚ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا "[Zechariah] said, My Lord, make for me a sign. He said, Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound." Maryam 19: 10
"And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." Luke1:20
which one is true between the two? and so many other stories
Informer155: Ok sir....just search "my confused question about Islam" you'll see the quetions and conversation there....i cant quote you there if not i will do it....pls just search it sir(am not fighting nor arguing)quote author=Empiree post=80980829]We are not here to read questions in form of epistles.

Obasanjo being one of the instigators shows that this silly protest is lopsided. Abeg, tell us exactly what obj did in his 8yrs tenure?.
As for Sowore, the guy owns business in new york. It is very possible he is a funded tout. We have experienced western ppl funded citizens of foreign countries int heir country to destabilize their home countries. I am not saying the same is happening with Sowore but it is very highly possible. If there is level of sincerity in this si called revolution, they should start locally. But this way they are doing it by taking their vex to macro level is bound to fail.
Fed govt always fun state and local govts. Therefore, the first revolution must start with traditional rulers. Those Obas are nothing but fat ass embezzlers. What exactly are they doing in their palaces?. What exactly is their responsibilities to the people of their communities?. The local region are so bad and structurally and also cult infested. Take a look at Ijebu-Ode, this historic town is far worst than 20yrs ago yet they have traditional ruler sitting on his ass doing nothing. They have local govt chairmen just looting but they keep lying that federal govt gave them little to nothing. And then they have state govt who did substandard road that messed up within a week. Yet they are blaming Buhari.
Revolution must start from locally. Taking your anger and frustrations to federal govt is very silly. Even if they succeed and achieve thier aim, federal govt isnt gonna deal with them directly, They deal with traditional rulers, local and sate govt. And these aforementioned will mess up over again and you keep blaming federal govt. Start your protest from the scratch by probing obas, local govt authority and state authority. This is the way to go about it in my humble opinion.
true2god: This shows Islam is all about mohammed. If mohammed condemn a thing today, as bad, muslims will condemn it too, then if he turns around and justify the same practice tomorrow, Muslims will adjust. You are making Mohammed to be equal to Allah.
see why I hate responding to you sometimes knowing you have mind of your own to say nonesense?
You are giving justification for evil. Under no circumstance is grave worship (or ancestral worship) justified. Remember in sahih Muslim, Mohammed used to pray in the cemetery. What makes Islam different form African paganism? The catholics also do it and call it 'the veneration of the saints'.
see another reason I hate replying you?. Where did I say "grave worship"?. I even translated "ziyara". When is visiting graves becomes "grave worship"?. Bro, who did this to you?. Graves visitation is worldwide phenomenon. Sample of that is annual 9/11 rememberance of the victims. Purpose of graves visitation in Islam is reflections and to make Dua for the dead.
Islam borrowed a lot from existing cultures and practices, grave visitation inclusive. There is nothing wrong visiting the grave of a loved ones who had passed away but it is wrong to visit such site for a religious purpose and many Muslims visit the grave (shrine) of Mohammed as part of the hajj rituals.
this is your opinion. How about those CHRISTIANs who visit graves, light candles and place cross on the graves and even bow their head for mins to reflect and to sobber?. Of what purpose they visit the graves when they recite Bible verses at the graves and even hired bishops or pastors?. Is that not for religious reason. Bro, stop being sentimental because of your irrational hatred for Islam. There are existing practices as I have explained earlier but those practices are 'contaminated' if I may use that word. Islam came to rectify or fix it properly. Another example is bowing down in sajda(prostrate with forehead touching the ground) in form of respect. It was never act of worship but act of respect throughout history of mankind. It is after Nabi Muhammad came he forbade muslims from doing that. But Hindus, alawo etc still preserve this tradition.
Can you provide any prove or citation that the Jews and the Christians were making tawaf around the Kaaba before the advent of Islam? It is NEVER on record that the Jews and Christians held kaaba of any religious significance, either during the pre-Islamic or current islamic era. History has it that the kaaba is a home to about 360 idols (allah inclusive) before Mohammed turned mecca and Medina into a mono-cultural society. Always tell the truth even when it is not convenient.
kindly visit your Old Testament that you have shamelessly abandoned or make use of when it is convenient for you. If you can't, I will just post a video that explains this for you. That's all
true2god: Educate us what the hadith is talking about. It is not just saying 'I have no problem with the Hadith bcuz I understand' but telling us you own understanding of the context of the hadith. You have already said it all, the herbalist saw no difference between his experience in mecca and what he does traditionally at home.
shaking my head.
Before Nabi Muhammad (saw) people (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc used to do ziyara (visitation to the graves). After Nabi Muhammad (saw) came and meccans accepted Islam he stopped muslims from doing ziyara and the reason was given. He later allowed muslims to do ziyara.
Now the reason he stopped muslims from doing ziyara in this early stage of Islam was because he wanted muslims to be firm in the religion and to be able to discern legitimate activities allowed in Islam during ziyara from what they (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc) used to do during ziyara.
Note that both muslims and non muslims do ziyara till today but different intention. In Yorubaland, alawo still do ziyara and most often what they do there is against Islamic constitution. In Western world they too do ziyara by visiting graves and laying wreaths, candles etc. Sometimes they do things that are not in harmony with Islam. So you can see that visiting graves is the same whether by muslims and nonmuslims but their goals are different.
So before advent of Prophet muhammad (SAW) nonmuslims (herbalist, Zoroastrians, kufar, Jews, nasara etc) used to make tawaf around the Kaaba because all prophets before him did tawaf. But after all these prophets the people already corrupted prophetic version of essence of tawaf and started doing things that are not allowed in the religion brought by their prophets but they kept intact tawaf itself (Circumambulation). So when Nabi Muhammad (saw) came he now rectified their mistakes. So that mistakes he condemned and rectified is what someone nonmuslims still do today in different versions. But correct tawaf which is in harmony with God is what Muslims are doing today. So when that herbalist said muslims are doing what alawo do, he forget that tawaf was always ordained by religion of Abraham (as) but alawo corrupted their version of tawaf but they still have white robe around themselves and go around their shrines like Muslims do at the Kaaba but the essence is different. But CHRISTIANs forgotten and abandoned all these practices in the old testament.
Towards the middle he speaks about islamic sciences and of making "inquiries" (spiritual) he was referring to i believe. It is never forbidden in islam. He said "you might find some of these sciences being labeled blasphemy by religious people of today(muslims) which are in tandem with nabi muhammad(SAW)" I didnt quote him verbatim and i hope i didnt misunderstood him. I am going to listen to this over again.
He said we made everything today haram haram haram which are not and this is changing religion of islam. Subhanallah, at the time he gave this lecture, muslim population was only 700 million in the world. Now look at it today. He said no muslim countries today is actually muslim country. We only call them muslim countries bcus majority are muslims. I am learning here faah. Finally he said, Western world is not the master of sciences. Nabi Muhammad was the master the modern science. Allah akbar. He said it is muslims that restricted everything by making this haram haram and haram is the reason the lack in science and technology. I understood this long ago actually. I estimate this lecture was given in 60s or early 70s bcus he died in 1974 I am sorry i gave much info before you watch it. Go ahead and watch it.
wowcatty: Your problem is bigger that what's on social media, go and seek for help! What has this got to do with my stance on this issue,? You are crazy!
you know what?. I am aware that I always have unpopular opinion and I have been criticized for that for years. Good news is, I am not bothered.
I definitely like the idea of self defense but it needs to be properly coordinated. But since they can't seem to get their act together, I support total elimination of gun right. Why isn't that possible?. Germany and UK don't allow their citizens to own guns. How is that not possible in the US?. It is very easy. No one owns gun except law enforcement. This way you know for sure if someone attacks you it is either knife and similar object or fist fight. This eliminate possibilities of stray bullets and mass shootings.
Last year a Nigerian man was killed by stray bullet in Texas in his own driveway. Stray bullet hit his head. This man just completed his mansion in Nigeria and was getting ready to travel in few months to launch it before his untimely death.
For how long are we gonna keep talking about gun control without actually doing nothing about it?. When I was in Germany 3 months ago I was told no one owns gun. They were just making fun of America's gun violence. This sh!t is getting too much. We should not play politics with people's lives man like you do.
Enough of this shit.
I thought Congress would be forced to make changes when Adam Lanza killed 20 children and 6 adults in 2012 including his own mother with military weapons. What the heck is going on man. Again, let me remind you that when forefathers recognized gun right it was not automatic weapons. Rather it was shakabula
This one doesn't even understand anything. It is fruitless debating endlessly. I have no problem with the Hadith bcuz I understand.
true2god: The herbalist was right; Islam and paganism are one and the same. The only difference is that the latter is well packaged with books, set of rules and theology while the latter is crude and traditional. The early Muslims supported the opinion of the herbalist, see hadith below:
Narrated Aswad: Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka'ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said, 'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka'ba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same. (Sahih Bukhari 1:3:128)
Worship at the Ka’aba and the kissing of the Black Stone are just the first of many practices adopted from 7th century paganism and repackaged within monotheistic Islam.
High time we need to choose another word instead of "sacrifice" or "sacrificial animal". CHRISTIAN think Muslims do "ìrúbó" for sacrificing Rams on ileya. Alawo think Muslims do "ìrúbó" for making tawaf around Kaaba.
Some years back a man who was alawo supposedly "reverted" to Islam and went to Hajj. After returning from Hajj he coverted to his Yoruba religion. He said muslims are doing exact same thing alawo do by roping white sheet around themselves.
This man forgot that there are 3 types of people that go to Hajj. There are 3 types of beings present in spiritual realm during hajj.
The first are those who answer the call of nabi Ibrahim (as). This set of people are on seeratalimustaqeen.
Second are those who answer the call of shaytan. This set of people are a lot. This is where you see people go to Hajj but after they return their behavior get worse or they revert to kufr.
Third is the call of death. This is a set of people who die in hajj
Pasuma was once answered the call of shaytan because it was after he returned from hajj he released Òròbòkíbó
wowcatty: How am I partisan? This is the problem with you liberals again, you hate the truth and I don't bend for no one. I'm parrisa.The two parties can't come together unless Democrats move back to the middle, which I don't believe they will, Democrats is now a socialist/communst party. Republicans have already proposed a sensible plan but the dems can't meet them in the middle, it's now the winner takes all.
You are too political and partisan at the expense of human lives man. Take no side. Both parties are morons. Taking sides is the very reason this thing will not get done.
You are being partisan at the expense of innocent lives. What's my business with Democrat majority regions being the most gun violence?. I never thought that way. To me both parties are profiting and are both guilty. I'm not saying guns should be taken away from them. I'm saying the law should be reformed. It is getting too much. When forefathers signed right to own gun, abeg, what type of gun it was, AK-47?, Automatic riffle?. Absolutely not. It was old fashioned where you shoot one time at a time and before you reload the gun your intended victim would have fled already.
wowcatty: What you guys don't get is that NRA will go to war to protect its guns and I support them. Law abiding America citizens can't surrender their guns while all the criminals have access to guns through the black market and across the border. All the coyotes carry ak47 like keys. All Democrats controlled towns with strong gun laws are the ones having the highest gun crimes, so ask yourself why! From Baltimore to Chicago to Detroit, what they have in common is Democrat mayors and congressional districts.
December 2012 the day Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children between six and seven years old, and six adult staff members in mass school shooting at elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut and govt could not reform gun law was the day I gave up hope on gun control reform. Money and politics talk when it comes to right to own gun in America.
Obama tried all his possible best but NRA is too powerful. So don't expect Donald Trump to find solution to this because he himself is staunch supporter of this madness.
Koolking: Yet some lost brain people call Nigeria a shithole while USA is peehole with sane people.
Just imagine, 22 people gunned down unprovoked. Last year, a man from his hotel room gunned down over 50 in a concert gathering for no reasons whatsoever.
Nigerians lack love for their country. Every country has her problems but patriotic citizens make her stand tall.
true2god: He is saying nothing but the truth. Arab-muslims, using the quran and the hadith, invaded and destroyed Africa long before the imperial europeans came to africa.
Amujale: Under what circumstance is it permitable for a bunch of unethical warmongers to be claiming to know anything about virtousness.
Instead of the Arabians to concentrate on apologising to Africans for all the looting, stealing, so-called 'holy war', that are infact part of the evil Arabian crusades of their recent past; they're there peddling falsity and fakery.

Alhajiemeritus: Salam alaykum my brothers and sitsters.... I want to clarify something... Iyepe tite and IFA(ejiogbe) are the same thing... They are both based on calculations..... Which is kind of related to astrology, cos it's also based on alignment of stars... All these are definitively forbidden in Islam....
hummm just seeing this. How did you come to this conclusions though and what do you think of the related hadith posted above?.
Ifa(opele), you can see clearly what those alawo say or do. They invoke their deities in the process. However, the reason our ulama in yorubaland keep these types of practices and even other part of the muslim world is bcus they do not want muslim to seek help from non muslims. This is why they accepted daef ahadith as long as they do not implicate shari'a. Unfortunately today, current generation trash out many of these practices and now as you can see, many modern healthcare system and schools are owned by christians. And ultimately weather or sky is controlled by them. See, many of us now sit in front of the TV believing in their forecasts. It is the same future telling. Modern technology is derived from Quran. They are mentioned in the Quran but we don't make use them them.
Bar1941: Can't you guys use the charm to deal with the corrupt politicians first since retrieving the looted ones will not stop them from relooting it?
This sounds like common business sarauta. It doesn't suggest fraudulent activities. If you dont receive your goods at all and no money refunded, then i have problems with that. I do thank you very much for bringing this up. Hope Amdman would rectify whatever the problem is.
Remember, customers always right *wink*
codedcliq: The time I thought I will comment on this post is when I have received my car from Amdman. However, recent happenings have necessitated this post.
Preamble: I contacted Amdman concerning one of the cars he posted. Total amount (inclusive of clearing) he posted was N1.1m. I made a payment of N800k to him so he can purchase and ship. Days later, he told me the car owner is no longer willing to sell so he had to source for another. No wahala. He got one with total amount (inclusive of clearing) as N1.25m. My downpayment was still witihin 60-70% of the total cost so all was fine. He sent pictures and videos to me and posted same here. All good.
Weeks later, I contacted him to send me a scanned copy of the original bill of lading. Please note scanned copy as I wasn't expecting him to courier the original to me since I am not the one clearing. First he said it wasn't ready, then later he said he will send a part of the original. After a couple of weeks, he send he can only send the Draft Bill of Lading. When I asked why he can't just scan the original Bill of Lading with his phone and send to me, below was his response verbatim
"The amount of bad press that will be generated against us if anything goes wrong with anyone’s car is not something we are willing to risk"
How sending a scanned copy of transport document will make anything go wrong with someone's car is what I am still trying to undestand. I have been working with shipping documents for almost 10years now so there is no risk he wants to claim that I don't know of. You can only clear your car at the Seaport if you have the original Bill of Lading and evidence to show you are the one it was consigned to. Any clearing agent here is free to counter this.
Two reasons I requested for the scanned Bill of Lading 1. To apply for car financing - since I am pre-ordering the car, it is one of the required documents 2. To be able to indepently verify that actual shipment took place using the International Maritime Bureau portal
He eventually sent the draft bill of lading which didn't qualify for the intended purpose. Still I moved on.
Later, he sent the tracking details of the vessel / shipment to me. As at this moment, tracking details he sent is still showing that Vessel will likely arrive today, not that it has arrived. He chatted me up days ago that the ship has berthed and I should pay the balance of 450k. No wahala. I told him to send the contact of the clearing agent so I can make arrangement to have him deliver the car to my place. Let me state here that on the Invoice he sent, two conditions stood out:
1. Pick up at Lagos port 2. 2nd payment due after confirmation of vehicle purchase
The Pick up at Lagos port is not something I am comfortable with. This was not communicated until I made the advance payment. His post here after he decided to be handling the clearing cost was - "buying, shipping and clearing" - not that the buyer will still have to go the port to pick up the car.
Still I was ready to proceed but I told him I will rather the Agent delivers the car to my place so he should send his number let me liaise with him. Next thing he told me is quoted verbatim below:
"Depending on your location, that can range from 20k to 50k"
So I have to tell him facts and any clearing agent here is free to counter. If I pay a clearing agent to clear my car in Lagos ports, I expect him to deliver the car to my place (they already calculate these costs in the fees they charge). If I am outside Lagos, he is free to negotiate additional cost with me for delivery. Why will I have to go to the port to pick up a car when I am paying for clearing? I can as well just get another clearing agent to do the clearing for me then. Imagine driving a non-registered car when I am not a car dealer or clearing agent and you are stopped by the police. Nigeria police do not respect the 90days grace period. That's why we have clearing agents for this.
He started threatening me with demurrage fees. Hello, you've been the one providing all the information. I can't run an independent check because you refused to provide a scanned copy of the transport document. The draft Bill of Lading you sent shows the shipping line Hapag-Lloyd gives 21 days free demurrage (which was clearly stated on the draft you yourself sent). So even if the claim by you that the vessel is in Tincan is true, it is after 21days that demurrage will start counting.
He is yet to provide the contact of the clearing agent but he wants me to pay 100%, leave my work and go to the port to wait for car to come out.
The tracking details he sent shows vessel is not yet at Tincan but he claims otherwise.
Amdman, I am willing to pay the balance right now, that is not an issue. However, I need to: 1. Independently confirm that the shipment took place and vessel has arrived. You can get your clearing agent to come here and confirm this or you provide me with a scanned copy of the original bill of lading 2. I won't leave my work to come to the port to pick up a car and I can't & won't pay "20k to 50k" for a distance of less than 15km from the port to my place.
I still believe Amdman is legit and these things are just business issues that can be resolved. I won't have brought this here if he has shown some flexibility because I even told him I may have to bring it public and he said I should go ahead. So fellow buyers, please if I am the one that is being unreasonable, kindly let me know. I am not a rigid person. Though I believe it doesn't make sense for one to pay for clearing fees and still have to go to the port to pick up an unregistered car to drive home.
sagenaija: You twist and turn things at will. When you think it will serve your purpose, you'll claim that Koran is the only authority. When Koran alone will not serve your purpose, you'll run to the hadith. You therefore make statements without clearly considering the implications of such statements. If Koran is the ONLY authority, then it simply means there is no recourse to ANY other "authority". ONLY means - alone; without any other.
But we ALL KNOW that Moslems DO NOT rely ONLY on the Koran. Herein lies the hypocrisy of Islam and Moslems. At the end of the day ANYTHING goes in Islam. Koran, hadith, mysticism - name it, are all found inside the cesspool of Islam.
To attempt to win an argument you can claim that the Koran was whole during the lifetime of the prophet. If the next argument wouldn't fly with that you run to ' it was written on different fragments or particles which included bones'. So, like I've said over and over again - islam speaks ALWAYS from both sides of the mouth.
A simple question to debunk you is this: Do you not have things in the hadith that are not in the Koran which Moslems practice today?
Now on Islam reverting to being something strange, and retreating between the two Masajid: It is narrated on the authority of Abu Haraira that the messenger of Allah said: Islam initiated as something strange, and it would revert to its (old position) of being strange, so good tidings for the stranger. “Islam began among a few individuals, then it spread and prevailed, then it will reduce in numbers until there are only a few left, as it was in the beginning”
In Sharh Saheeh Muslim, Al-Nawawi quoted al-Qadi’Iyad as saying concerning the meaning of this hadeeth. It says in Fatawa al-Lajnah al-Daimah, 2/170 The meaning of this hadeeth is that Islam began as something strange, when the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called people to Islam, but no one responded except a few here and there. At that time it was something strange because its people were like strangers amongst others and they were few in numbers and strength of their enemies who persecuted the Muslims … …. The Islamic state was established and Islam spread … … So the enemies of Islam found a way in and they colonized their lands, humiliated their people and treated them badly. This is the way in which Islam returned to being strange as it was in the beginning.
