true2god:it is waste of time trying to explain color to the blind. Stop this emotional blackmail. I debate against Islam, which is normal, just as thousands of Muslims debate against Christianity. It is a normal practice worldwide to condemn a belief system which you don't agree with, as long as you do it intellectually and not violently. I have no issue with visiting the grave of dead loved ones as long as there is no religious significance to it. As part of hajj, muslims visit and pray and the burial site of your prophet.keep deceiving yourself. Visitation to the graves is universally acceptable regardless of religious beliefs. Whoever worships the graves that's their problem. And what constitutes "worship of the graves" according to you? Show me where the Jews of the old testament visited kaaba, did tarfa and marwa, drank from the zam-zam water, kissed the blackstone, worshipped facing mecca, etc.I should waste my time with you?. Hell, no. Help yourself. I believe this is the link where he explains links between Kaaba and all God's prophets https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=480328262752637&id=1408022469436535&anchor_composer=false |
Megatrix:Guy, it is not buhari that arrested journalist. It is police doing their job. I thought you learned division of labor in school?. Whats wrong with nigerians. If your toilet is not flushing, it is buhari. If your girlfriend cheats on you, it is buhari. If your mobile network fluctuates, it is buhari. If you forgot your stew on a burning stove , it is buhari. If you angry at yourself, it is buhari. Haba, na only him waka come?. |
obiekunie2: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:answer my question. [quote author=Emp.iree post=80981152]are you muslim or Christian?[/quote]And just because they have not replied you doesn't mean they "disappeared". Everyone has things to do. We don't live on NAIRALAND |
Informer155:are you muslim or Christian? |
Informer155:ok |
Informer155:I read your first post but I'm trying to understand your point. It just looks like you are talking to yourself, sir. All the time you are replying you could simply retype your questions one after the other for clarity |
Informer155:looks like you don't understand what I just said. I said you need to clarify your question (s). You simply wrote epistles and I can't figure out what you need exactly |
We are not here to read questions in form of epistles. You either ask your question (s) plain and clear so we understand where your going or where you are coming from. So far, you lumped everything together. When you get out of your confusion holla at me again. |
"revolution" my foot. |
true2god: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: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. Understand now? |
LadunaI:you need to listen to this interesting piece by Maulana Dr. MUhammad Fazlur Rahman Ansar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRVjP3U4M9Q 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: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: |
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: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: |
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: |

otuekong1:this one doesn't even know which is Qur'an and which is Hadith. Big waste of time ![]() |
Brothers/Sisters should take advantage of the first 10 days of dhul hijjah to do extra dhikr especially after salat fajr La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer’ 100 times after fajr 100 times after maghrib 100 times after isha |
Amujale:this niggah here keeps getting angry at himself at all time let me console you small...kpele ![]() |
Alhajiemeritus: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. |
