Empiree, awon alfa nla ti lo faa. My father used to tell us about one alfa in Ebira land. He was called "Alfa oni tira". According to him, if you go to the alfa for prayer, his only prayers were Fatiha & Solatu Fatih. For example, if you went to him to complain about failing business he would say: you have told Allah your problem not him, may Allah bless your business Fatiha, Solatu fatih. And will bring baraka into that business. No matter the problem you took to him, even if it is village people, na Fatiha, Solatu fatih be the prayer and, in sha Allah, that problem would be over. The likes of this alfa are difficult to come by these days, and the few ones left are old and will leave us soon enough.

One imam said, "awon alfa wonyi aba aye je. Won ani ko si nkan ti onje batini, gbogbo nkan ni sohir." LOL ...


The next generation go suffer ehn. At least, most of us were born when sheikh Adam, Sambo and other alfa nla in Lagos were alive. But the coming generations go meet awon alfa who would give more weight to ahadith than the holy Quran. Even those ahadith would be approached superficially by them.. E don dey happen small small self.

If they claim to believe in the ahadith of the Prophet SAW, why then do they deny this? Abi any hadith can now be rejected on whims ni. I'm confused.

aadoiza:
Wow!! Subhanallah!! This is some incredible stuff coming from you, brother. This your experience is another big proof that dreams are a means of receiving messages and by extension, the 46th part of nabuwa as stated in the hadith referenced by Emp.iree. So why do some deny this? What is wrong with some people?

aadoiza:
One username, which I can't remember for if I do I'll mention him, on here deridingly asked "from who"(sic), when Empi.ree wrote that dreams are a means of receiving messages.

It was in the mid 2000s, when my big bro was going through hell on earth. As a jaye jaye that he was, he was broke and only lived on his past street credibility as a tough guy.

There was an alfa - a younger brother of his intimate friend, in fact, they all lived together at the time, who told my bro of a baba alawo who comes to Lagos once every few months to help people after my bro asked if he knew any strong baba who could make him agbo iba or something . He took him there; but while this alfa left them alone, my bro changed the subject and told the baba what he really wanted was "ogun owo" (money ritual), and baba said it was no big deal and that he'd done for many people, even popular ones. I should just conclude the story here with the dream part but, for those who think there's no such thing no dey deceive ya self oo...

The baba gave him four options to choose from: 1) He'd be made a bathing soap, which he'd use but must not come in contact with his eyes or he goes blind. 2) It would be made for him such whenever he thought of spending some money, all he had to do was just to dip his hand in his pocket with the intention of the amount he wants, and he'd bring out the the exact amount but must return from the money into his pocket, everything must be spent or...... I don't know. 3) He'd make a box (a small coffin, to be precise) and keep in his wardrobe. And says every morning he would find the box filled with money which must be emptied, and that the money coming next day must not meet that which was found in the box the previous day, so wherever he was he must go home to empty the money -filled coffin. 4) He'd get a piece of land, with the view to developing in it, dig a well in it and slaughter a ram in the well once every year. And the baba said, even after my bro's passing his children must continue that tradition like that yearly. The baba asked him to come back after two weeks and said he would go back to his village to get the ingredients for the ritual because they could not be got in Lagos

He didn't tell me the option he chose but said it was not the first option. He said, he'd gone to price his favourite car then and boasted to his fellow drunks at the bar how he was gonna be the first Otunba of Lagos from our state. LOL..

He said, before two weeks had lapsed, one day he got a call from our sister (younger than him) in Abuja, and on the phone, he could feel she very nervous. And she said, "boda mi, mo ma la ala buruku kan si yin" ( my brother, I had a bad dream about you). I dreamed that you went to do money ritual and died in the process or afterwards, I'm not which was it again, but he shaa died in the dream. He said, he was deflated and confused simultaneously as he had never told any soul about it, and was sure it was no just dream but a message through his sister.
He never went back to the baba and never told our sister about his botched money-ritual plan, unless he's planning on doing so on the morrow.

Thus, if you're not blessed with dreams do not doubt that there are so many out there who are. They may not even be Muslims. As a matter of fact, this same sister saw my father died about three months before his actual death. She said she cried for days after the dream and prayed about it but she knew our father was going to die anyway.

My dreams mean shiit, and prefer it that way, but I don't go around disputing people's dreams when they say they have got the gift of dream. Mine is, however powerful you are, even if you're shaytan, you can never overpower me in my dreams. I could do all sorts of unimaginable things therein. I'm like something else entirely whenever there is an attack, there's hardly ever one though.

We all have our individual differences, mentally, physically, socially, psychologically, and spiritually too. If we accept this fact we'll all be better for it.

If the guy identify himself as a Muslim, why the doubt from you? You may not like his brand of Islam or him being critical of certain Islamic beliefs but take his words as it is with respect to his religious affiliation.

Obama said and I quote: 'America is no longer a christian nation'. Obama also said: 'Islam has always been part of the US'. Using Obama as a yardstick for Islamic thought, Muslims always choose to render the west anything they deem fit based on circumstances and event. The president of Turkey, Tayyip Edorgan, said that the US was founded my Muslims and that the Christians in the US are late comers and settler, who do I believe? Obama, Edorgan or you?

On the saudi killings in Yemen, please dont blame the west. The sauidis are buying weapons they don't need and no one forces them to buy. The Saudis already has religious and political leverage over hundreds of millions of Muslims; they dont need to spend billions of dollars on US weapon to get their security. And if they kill Yemenis with a US-made weapon, don't blame the US but the Saudis for the sufferings of the Yemeni people. And remember, Iran is also armed by the Russians and these weapons are being used in Yemen to, against the saudi-backed regime.

It is first a religious thing which has also turned a cultural thing. In Kano, girls as young as 13 already have 2 children for older men, and remember the story of baby Aisha and Mohammed.

Almost all the Arab world are migrating to the US and Europe. You cant convince me that all the Muslim world are in crisis; hijra is a religious duty in Islam. Remember the exodus of Mohammed from mecca to Medina; the migration of the fulanis to the hausalands. The pattern remain the same with or without conflict.

Oppression, unfotunatley, is part of human nature. If God shift power to the Muslim world, they will also oppress the kafir. The Muslims/Arabs had done it before and will do it again if they have the opportunity.

true2god:
'usermane' identified as a Muslim and I have no reason/evidence to believe otherwise.

What's the relationship between the atrocities the Saudi government is committing against religious minorities, in the name of religion/sharia, and the activities of the western power? I highlighted the ills in sharia and you drag the west into it, I can;t get how you guys reason at times.

You come again; blame others to deflect the argument. The fact remains that child marriage is ingrained in Islamic culture and the adherents are doing their best to follow the way of the prophet. I used northern Nigeria as a case study because you are likely a Nigerian and would most likely be familiar with Hausa and Fulani culture.

Muslims are protected 'species' in the west while Christians are endangered 'species' in the Arab/Muslim world. This is a known fact. Muslims are allowed to migrate, en mass, to the infidel west while christian can never migrate the ummah Arab/Muslim world (except to dubai for picnic) . And you know what, alomost all the western media encourage Muslim migration to the west as part of what they call 'multiculturalism' or 'cultural enrichment'. When the New Zealand terror attack happened, Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc call it 'attack against Muslim worshipers' but when the Sri Lanka Islamic terror occured, Obama and Hillary Clinton called it 'Easter Worshipers' attack. Can you see how the refused to name the victims as Christians while the quickly identified the victims in the New Zealand attacks as 'Muslims'?

Ok, it is a Judeo CHRISTIAN military invasion of Muslim lands. The Ottoman also invaded Judeo Christian lands at the height of their military might. The rightly guided khalif did the same. As I said earlier, the world is a jungle and the lions will continue preying on weaker animals

The beret is never a religious symbol, unlike the hijab. Stop dragging issues that are not necessary.

IMAliyu:
I'm pointing this out to the people that think everything in life can be discovered through science and that somehow by giving our lives to science everything would be better.
Humans tend to do bad things and are more than willing to use religion, ideology or "for the purpose of research" to do bad things in the world.

Sahih Muslim

(65)Chapter: Clarifying that Islam started as something strange, and will revert to being something strange, and it will retreat between the two Masajid
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:

Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.

The Quran is a beautiful book walahi, a truthful book. Nothing in d quran is a lie.

One of the good side of having a glimpse into the unseen world sometimes is dat u see a tin and u will be like, wow! the Quran did said this or d hadith said dat. It's beautiful and it strengthen ur faith more than ever. But it can also be tiring and sometimes u just wana be normal like everyone.

Now I just see everything happening around me like normal,especially the activities of the Jinn, mrnin day and afternoon but evening is wen their activities is the most, evenin is like their day, so I hav limited my going out in d night. Been matured I have learnt to pretend dat am not seeing them, because that's their strength. So they get defensive wen u open their nyash. Oh God If I can only tell wat this ppl do in broad day light to humans and even worse to themselves subuhanalah. I ask a friend an alfa, who use to call me for colabo wen he has a strong job, I ask him if he sees them like this and he said no he only feels their presence, although one of his strength is ilham.

I hav observed that they are much in villages, God knows y, and Muslim populated cities. Dis guys are the most jobless been I hav ever seen, and they really seem to be jealous Of the the humans. They are like as they were described in the Quran. "Created from smokeless fire" wen I wasn't matured I use to mistake them for human, so they would have catch me staring at them b4 I realize that this are not my ppl. But now I can differentiate easily using d description from d Quran. Wen u see they are like a figure of human but kind of wavy, I dnt know wat word I will use, you knw how a fire is dat d Breeze dictate it's structure, they ar kinda like dat, they are not firm like us, and wen they are walking is like floating. Make dua, make dua it's very important b4 living ur house wen u in a place of gathering.

Was "always" Inside that verse you quoted or did you add it yourself for the sake of this arguement? This is exactly the point of taquiri.

Taciturn1:
While certain attacks may be politically motivated. This one was done by the Sri-lankan Islamic terrorist organisation National Thowfeek Jamaath. Christians were also murdered by Islamists in Egypt during Palm Sunday service 7th July 2017.
These and many other attacks on churches both home and abroad, by muslim terrorists have continued to go on. Yet muslims never condemn and denounce these attacks. In like manner you have tacitly endorsed these attacks on Christians by condemning their cries against the unprovoked crimes and murders.
I'm not very surprised though, since the Islamic Jihad is the motivation for the muslim terrorists, and your tacit support.

2metrelaurie:
The new Zealand attacker was a white supremacists

proxillin:
The guy who murdered those people in Newzealand mosque is a fanatics Christians. It's a fact..im a christian..and I will say the truth when I see one.

The same way Christians were targeted in the church in stri lanka.

U can see the difference between us.

Islam allows its followers to lie to win an argument..Jesus frown at lies.

IdisuleOurOwn:
But if it was the other way round, he'd be declared as an apostate.

Anyway, the picture below is somehow true. We see these people who carry out these attacks justifying their actions by qouting Hadiths narratted by some 14 century scholars.

We await the Sri Lanka govt to know who carry out the attack

true2god:
You guys always try to drag Christianity into an argument that seems embarrassing to Islam. The topic is '25 sharia law breaching human right' and the person that opened the thread is still a Muslim, why drag Christianity into the matter?

The last time I checked, Saudi Arabia still kills/imprisons apostates, behead people in the public, cut hands of petty thieves (while the Saudi princes steal and launder billions of dollars abroad). These are sunnah of the proohet; they are simply following the ways of the prophet.

Millions of Muslims still engage in child marriage. Northern Nigeria has one of the highest incidence of child marriages in the world because the believed Mohammed did it hence find justification in doing that from the prophet.

On people's right to their belief, the corrupt western media (BBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc) spend all their energies attacking the Catholic church while shielding Islam. Most of the media houses in the US and Europe are subsidized by the Saudi and Qatari government to protect the image of Islam.

And FYA, I am against western military intervention in the Arab world. The point is that both the Western world and the Arab world are bad in terms of oppressing the weak. The Islamic caliphate will do the worst if they are in the position of the Christian west (the Christian west is also evil).

And for the hijab, every institution has a dress code but the Muslims have politicize the hijab worldwide; it is now not only a religious symbol, but also a political symbol. The Iranian and the Saudi government will jail any woman, according to the sharia law, who doesn't wear the hijab. You don't politicize and Arabian cultural outfit, that mental slavery and stupidity. In abuja, you are likely to get a better service in the ministry once you wear the hijab; the belief is that there is a high tendency that you are either an Hausa or Fulani lady

proxillin:
Christians claiming to be victims? When muslims were gunned down in Newzealand last week, they were addressed as muslims.

But when it happened to Christians now, Christians are claiming to be victims.

What exactly in wrong with muslims?

There is something wrong with that religion, because it's followers can't use their brain again.
Is it a curse or something?
