Em.piree, Please how should we submit our answers? Through an email or just paste on here? Thank you.

Empiree:
I will suggest when you reply your answers, you should repost and align the questions with answers and bold questions only for easy read. For example,

Question: Who is Nairaland founder?
Answer: Seun

aadoiza:
I think Albaqir is purposely doing this to expose the double standard therein.

sino:
There wouldn't have been an issue with regards to this if not that it has to do with sectarian predispositions.

5. Praying qiyamu layl at home is the best and this does not mean praying it in the mosque is forbidden!

AlBaqir:
Unfortunately, you have looked at the hadith from one angle only. From the other angle, another hadith did not even bring that dalil that "I'm afraid it might turn obligatory for you". For a fact, I believe that part was fabricated by hadith forgers to justify Umar's BID'AT. Sahabah were not that stupid and daft not to discern fard from recommended salat. Even my 5 year old daughter knew that clearly.


# The dalil of the second hadith which is true and make more sense than the first was, "you people persist this salat be in jamaah, go home and pray it FOR SALAT (nawafil) PRAYED AT HOME INDIVIDUALLY EXCEPT FARD SALAT IS BETTER".

Are you saying "is better" is limited to that time or the "better" will continue to be till qiyamat?

Yet, Umar bold recognized this when he said, "What good Bid'at this is; BUT the one they sleep (then wake) and pray is better than this". Umar never argued based on the fact that people will misunderstood it for fard salat.

true2god:
Does this include Mohammed's killing of his political enemies as it is well documented in the seerah and the hadith?

ChristianNorth:
No, I meant sunnis condone it. According to topic, you can masturbate but make sure you don't ejaculate. It doesn't invalidate fast.

usermane:
I know, I really feel bad about the Khasshogi incident. But come on, covert assassination of the regime opponent has always been part of Muslim history. Khashoggi, a journalist fled Saudi Arabia to US, where he continued to criticize the ruling regime. He was an opponent to MBS, and the prince might have taken him out.

ChristianNorth:
That is why I love them. They recognise a sin and call it by its name unlike Sunnis that pamper sin.

I believe you misunderstood my post. I am not actually criticizing shias. I am in support of their position on masturbation.

aadoiza:
What is your take on the Prophet disbanding the congregation lest it be made obligatory?

ChristianNorth:
By the way, what you call Tawheed, is what Christians call Trinity. It holds that God is one and single but manifests himself in 3 dimensions- As a loving father, as a son (to relate with men (son of man)) and as a Spirit (to provide guidance).

As these 3 are ONE.

Belonging to a sect helps one to put his beliefs into perspective. Without it, one is like a ship without rudders on a wavering sea.

ChristianNorth:
Your eternal soul is not something you should gamble with. Personally, I am careful with what I feed it with.

I am unapologetically Pro-Shia and I love sufism. I have not made a decision on Tijanniyya yet, I am still trying to understand what they fully represent.

I am torn in between because it is both sufist and sunni. It is the only part of sunnism I am not outrightly anti to.

Wahabism is a NO-NO. They have massacred more Shias than christians.

aadoiza:
Well you have overwhelming evidence to back your claim, but are you saying Umar would deliberately go against a well-established sunnah? I think not. He had good reasons to fix the chaotic situation resulting from the too many people observing nawafil separately that night by enjoining them to do so in congregation. Of course the Prophet's way is the best way, and the congregation type should be done with the intention bringing people together, even if not as rewarding..

In sha Allah, I will get different perspectives on this.

aadoiza:
This is exactly what I meant. Nobody is doing exactly the same way Rasool did it.
Sectarianism is killing us. Albaqir can't make good points without some calling him Shia or kafir or allu bidiah, which I think is ridiculous. Shey we no fit agree to disagree without name calling ni? After all, Allah and his messenger did not any sect

ChristianNorth:
I am sure Shias don't subscribe to this nonsense. Masturbate during Ramadam, Al Sunnis are ijiots. Spits on their extremist skulls

Rilwayne001:
Indeed, too small. Make it 250

Rilwayne001:
But bro, 10-20 questions?

ChristianNorth:
You would have be a perfect moslem if not for some of your salafist views.

Anyway, I wish most moslems would be like you.

true2god:
That's his mission statement, read it.

ChristianNorth:
How? Explain please.

LadunaI:
Yes saw him toward the end of his life. I don't even see much to sheikh(ra) then only that I was filled with awe of him during that meditative/prayer facing sky. You need to be above average Muslims to read between the line and see that he's something, because is a typical Majzoob that even confused the 'elites' talk less of ordinary Muslims.

So, it is people that are close to the sheikh (ra) and those Alfas that know the signs of majzoob recognized and revered him then. So if not what I later know about him from other end after his demise, may be I would still be one of the doubting Thomas lol.

Look at the exalted station of hadrat Uways(ra) Qarni, if not what holy prophet (saw) said about him nobody would have take him seriously, even the elites from Kufa that met Hadrat Umar(ra) during Hajj confessed that they didn't see Uways(ra) as anything then. So, there is class of AWLIYAHs that one cannot see to them physically whereas they're exceptional in other 'world'. So one cannot entirely blame those average muslims that criticized those sheikhs, that is limit/level of their knowledge and understanding, which is a confirmation of how spiritual myopics they are.

Empiree:
Hopefully by the 15th of Ramadan quizzes should be up.

Empiree:
Salaam alaikum,

We shall be conducting quizzes of between 10 to 20 questions in this thread before Ramadan is over. However, this will be made possible if there are enough participants. In sha Allah, we are increasing number of participants to 10 this Ramadan.

Stay tuned

Rilwayne001:
I've been longing to ask you, just relunctant and waiting on you to raise the motion. Now, it's good that you raised it.

As per the thread, I'll suggest another new thread so as to attract more forumites.

May Allah bless you brother.

Empiree:
Thinking about possible short Quizzes this Ramadan.


Should we roll it?.

This thread or another one?

ChristianNorth:
Which one be sectarian tension?

I don't need to be officially one to believe their teachings. Already we share a lot of things in common and I learn a great deal from them.

I love their resilience and I am a fan of Caliph Ali. I love their moderate form of Islam.

I only accept as authentic, Shia explanation of Islamic practices.

ChristianNorth:
Oga, you can't explain the words of Umar away through a senseless apologetics. He clearly called his innovation as bidah and you are trying to cover up with poor defence.

I believe Shia offers the purest form of Islam.

aadoiza:
I think Ikupakuti's theory on Abiku is the most plausible I have read anywhere. Some Alfas here in Nigeria totally dispel this 'Abiku phenomenon', saying it does not happen. And that's a lie.

My mother's younger sister is Abiku. I can remember the number of times my mother said she died and came back. She said, it got to a point my grandfather got tired of her and burned her body, then again she returned and, this time, very black in complexion like charcoal. So my grandpa refused to name her thinking she'd die but she stayed and is very much alive today.

When I read kuti's theory on this, I, with immediate effect, adopted it as fact. Allahu allam.

IMAliyu:
You hit up on a topic I've been thinking about for years.
What constitutes as bidiah and are there different classifications of bidiah?
Like for example if I invent a tradition in my house where we recite the Quran every Monday from 4pm to 6pm. Does this constitute as bidiah because it is not something the Prophet (SAW) ever specifically directed anyone do in that manner? But reciting the Quran is sunnah and is still central to Islamic practices.
Or the way some of my Tarika(Sufi) buddies like to meet up in the masjid on Fridays and do zikr out loud together. Is this really bidiah if zikr is a highly recommend practice? The manner they choose to do their zikr is not something that Prophet (SAW) ever directed, but he never forbid it either and zikr is still a highly recommend act and if you choose to do it in a group is it really a bad thing?

Now i know that if someone comes and says you should be praying six obligatory prayers a day, instead of the normal 5. You should consider it as bidiah and dismiss it, but this would mean that their are different types of bidiah some bad (and to be dismissed), some neutral and some good (like the example i gave of reciting the Quran every Monday in a household). This idea would go contrary to the "Izalatul Bidiah Wa Ikamatun Sunnah" (translation: getting rid of bidiah and facing the Sunnah) or Salafi and Wahabi claim that all bidiah can only be bad and that you should only stick to what can be found in the Sunnah, but they never specify what they mean by bidiah.
Is something really even bidiah if it doesn't go against any established rules and Sunnah in Islam. Like where are the lines?
This issue has led to violent fights between the Izala and the Tarika sects here in the North
Edit: I've come realize that some people even classify traditional practices that are not against any Islamic practices as bidiah despite the fact that no one ever tried to attribute it to Islam. E.g. "Budan kai" a hausa-fulani traditional wedding practice where the bride's face is covered and reviled, and the bride is given gifts...
