Then how is it the business of Muslims in Kano state on what is happening in the middle-east? How is it their business protesting against the Israeli policies while at the same time ignored what the Saudis negatively do worldwide, especially terrorists' financing and the killing of the Yemeni civilians?
speaking of financing terrorists, why did Christians and you not protest this?. Is it not clear that there is conspiracy btw Saudi and Western world who jointly created terrorism worldwide?. Blaming Saudi alone is not good enough

Even US embassy in Lagos don't trust evidences (docs) presented by Nigerians. They assume automatically that documents they present are forged by default. Therefore they want you to defend yourself verbally and convincingly. Up to them after that to give you or not. And we still have some ppl want Atiku to come to power. Was he not there for 8yrs as VP?. What did he do?.

What makes me detest Atiku is the fact that he sabotaged Nigerian power system. He owns generator company. If this doesn't wake up his supporters, then, you are in deep doodoo in nija.

Is anything wrong with your last paragraph?. Making money is part of life but that's not purpose of Haj. People have to rent a place to stay, therefore hotels make money. Tax men need to transport people, therefore they mak money. Airlines make money. And all these monies contribute to religious site maintenance. But tho make it sound as if this haj money was major saudi income is very nonsensical.

At the end of the day you admitted israel makes money through religious tourism as well. At least, for muslims, we have evidence to visit kaaba once a yr(hajj). But there is no evidence for christian to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Therefore, Israel deceived and scammed you to believe it is your religious right to visit jerusalem. But their plan was actually to make profit. They don't give a damn about your religion.

I hope the reason she has this suicide thought is not beyond her husband buying a car for girlfriend. If she kills herself over this, it is stupidity. What if he marries the lady as second wife?. What is she gonna do then?. Men are allowed to marry more than one wife. What's the big deal here?. She is just gonna put her family and innocent children in distress . I hope she is found alive. Her husband is not responsible for her fate.

I have been heartbroken many times but i moved on. If she commits suicide, she just gave her husband opportunity to bring in his girlfriend.

Bombing and killing innocent children cant be compared with a stranger slapping you and a mother slapping her son. Creating a humanitarian disaster is unacceptable no matter which country is responsible, after all, sufferings and death knows no religion or race.

The shia Muslims protested and condemned Saudi action in Yemen while the majority Sunnis Muslims kept quiet. You should note that the Sunnis do not regard the shia as true Muslims. Why the silence and hypocrisy! And please note that the Saudis never protested against the Israeli actions in Gaza, while the Iranians do almost all the time.

Why are sunni Muslims countries silent on Saudi atrocities in Yemen? Oh, it is a family issue.
how this concerned you is what I don't understand. You don't believe in Shia either. So why trying to play games here?. Your antics ain't gonna work. I have told you point blank that I do not support action of Saudi in Yemen. We do not have to take to the streets before you realise we are not in support of prince action.

Salat
See my previous inputs on salat and Qur'an:

Arabs Observed Salat Before Muhammad, God Never Condemned their Procedure
smh... In English language salat is literally "prayer". Hindu, Buddhist, shikh, chintos, Judaism, Christianity and the list is endless. All of them use the word prayer as muslims do. Does that mean their prayer or salat was right?. Prayer is prayer.
IslamRe: Saying That Specific People Are Going To Paradise Or Hell in Islam by Empiree:

Thank God that you acknowledged all what I said are facts except the issue of nationalism of Islam. As I said earlier Judaism, unlike Islam, is not an imperial religion that seeks to take over territories, cultures, languages and even overthrow foreign govt. All these are features of Islam till date.
you just shifted goalpost. What I acknowledged was that Jews don't care to spread their religion. They don't preach to non-jewish tribes or nationals to covert to Judaism. They prefer to convince non-practicing Jews to be religious one. But when it comes to imperialism, please tell me how they occupied and expanded "Jewish state"?. What does occupied territory means to you?. What's dropping bombs on defenseless people means to you?. Is this not imperialism?. Yes, they do not do this to gain converts. They did this to expand their Jewish territories. This is imperialism.




Islam is against localization of religion because it gives room to take over lands and territories, either by Jihad or dawah, depending on the situation Muslims find themselves in certain countries. If Muslims go to the US, they do dawah, but in India or Ethiopia they do both Jihad and dawah. Modern communication, knowledge and shift in balance of global power has significantly reduced global jihad. What we have now is stealth jihad through lawfare for hijab in schools, building mosques in catholic schools and some other islamically-induced privileges which gradually erode tradition laws and values.
handsome submission. Dawah is not a crime. There is dawah in every religion. I will give you example. I was riding my bike on the road few months ago. I stopped momentarily to relax. Then two women approached me. They are Christians doing street dawah. As you know, once Christian evangelist realize that you are not ready to accept pamphlet but you engage them, they forced "Jesus is Lord" on you because they do not want to hear what you have to say. This is what the women did to me. She asked for my number after I engaged her and I gave her. Since then she would call me every Sunday morning to come to church. I have now blocked her after warning her to stop calling me. I told her the first day we met that she would never convert me. I immediately quoted her Bible against her which she doesn't like. She's now blocked because she was causing nuisance every Sunday morning while I'm in bed.




You said because the kabba is located in saudi arabia so it is reasonable for the saudi govt to remain sole custodian of the holy site, that's wrong and a nationalist outlook on their part. You may not see this way especially when blinded by religious loyalty and not rationality. Since Islam is an international religion for 'all nations', the custody of the kabba should also opened to international custodianship and hajj operation should not be an exclusive right of the saudi royal family to control. Other muslim countries have complained about this but you dont seem to get it.
I am sure deep down your stomach you know you are just trying to find excuses. There are other muslim countries in support and manage holy site. Take ASO ROCK for example, it is very close to Hausa folks than Yoruba and Igbo. Even if Yoruba or Igbo man is president, majority of the people in the region would be Hausa that maintain and direct affairs of the building. This example is not perfect but it gives you perspective.



If the saudi government sees the custodianship of kabba as their sole responsibility is that not nationalism on their part? Is it not an attempt to protect their property and avoid external influence?
it is nationalism only if they do not allow foreign muslims to make pilgrimage there.

Almost on a daily basis Muslims curse Jews for their actions against the Palestinian people and some stage a deadly protest for that, when will Muslims worldwide protest the against the actions of Saudi govt in Yemen? I have not seen a single Muslim on the street pretesting against the Saudis, why?
well, arguing on this with you is a waste of time. Allow me to give you analogy.

If unrelated fellow, stranger, hoodlum etc slaps you on the face, you most likely would react almost immediately to curb the person. But if a family member, parent, friend etc do the same, you would most likely restrain yourself. You would say something like "if not for you, if someone else tried this with me I would have retaliated instantly".

This means your reaction to both acts would be different bcuz of their closeness to you. In the same way, Israel is not Muslim friend in this case. It has long records of cruel treatments of its neighbors. Therefore, it is only natural that muslims protest against Israel.

One being rational does not make him an atheist. All religions are geo-specific and identifiable with certain cultures. If I was born in the UK, the chances are high I will be a christian. If I was born in Saudi Arabia, I will, by law, be a muslim. If I was born in India, the chances are high I will be a Bhudist or a hundu, etc. Claiming exclusivity to originality and calling other 'dirty kafir', which Islam is notorious for, is a high level of ignorance on the part of Muslims.

Judaism is a not a proselytizing religion/faith, unlike Christianity and/or Islam; they don't seek converts. Non-Jews, calling themselves Jews, be it the Igbos or the Ethiopians, is a high level of stupidity on their part. Jew is not a religion; Judaism is a religion exclusively associated with the Jewish people. The Jews are not begging the Igbos or Yorubas to join their religion, the same way the Saudis are promoting Islam worldwide, while suppressing religious minorities in their own countries, and also killing or jailing apostates from Islam.

It is very funny that you said the Jews he have nationalize their religion while ignoring the fact that Saudi Arabia, since the time of Mohammed, had already nationalized theirs. How? The organization of hajj, planing and logistics, is the sole responsibility of the Saudi people, despite the fact that hajj, just like the modern Olympic, is an international religious gathering. Iran raised the issue of Saudi Arabia nationalization of hajj and the Saudi authorities threatened them with fire and brimstone and vows to maintain the status quo.

I can never become an atheist; I will always believe in the supernatural because it exist and I am a living witness to its existence. Islam is just a no-go for a rational mind like me.
everything else you said is irrelevant. We already knew that. I'm only gonna respond to the highlight. Saudi did not nationalize Islam. Matter of fact, Islam itself is against nationalism. If Saudi nationalized Islam it would have been exactly like Jews-Judaism. In another word, Islam would have been restricted only to Saudi Arabia. This would have been in conflict with Islam.

The issue of Hajj, it is only normal that since current Saudi Arabia is geopolitically located near the Kaaba, it only makes sense that they are the custodian of the Holy sites(makkah & Medina) with active involvement of other muslim countries because they too have the right. So issue you are trying to raise is not logical enough.

Victims Of Freedom of Speech Violation - Raif Badawi

Raif Badawi is a Saudi Muslim apostate or secular Muslim who ran a blog promoting secular democracy, condemning sharia and the Islamic right wing of Saudi Arabia. For his blogs, Raif was arrested, tried and sentenced to 10 years in prison with 1000 lashes in 2012.

Raif's supportive wife and kids had to seek asylum in Canada afterwards, where she has been campaigning for his release. While Raif's defense attorney, Waleed Abdulkhair , was later arrested and imprisoned for opposing sharia and promoting human rights.

So all these people are muslims: Abraham, Moses, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Job, Jonah, Aaron, Solomon, David, Enoch, Isaiah, Lot, Zachariah, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, Jesus.

Almost all of them are Jews and are already written about in Jewish books and history long before Islam. You never included names of other non-Jewish prophets who are from other continents, like the Chinese and the Indian prophets. Do you mean these people were not sent prophets too? Mohammed said that prophets are sent to every nation, why did Mohammed forget to mention the names of prophets sent to the Indians, Chinese, Africans and other nations as he claimed?
You appear in "Islam section" very often these days. Perhaps Allah may guide you.

But you sound more like atheist these days than Christian. Seems to me that you are losing your Christian faith.

Anyways, concerning your post, you failed to realize difference between Jew(tribe, nationality, ethnicity) and Judaism (religion). Where there seems to be confusion to some is that jews of today have nationalized their religion which makes them intolerant towards non-jewish tribe who claims to be a Jew(Judaism).

For instance, Igbo claim to be Jews but European Jews will not recognize them unless and only if they need them for political reason. This is why jews today do not care if any other tribes or nationals claim to be practicing Judaism. They rather try to get non-practicing European Jews to be religious. So Jews today is about nationality especially in the West. But those prophets mentioned above were Jewish by tribe and ethnicity not Jewish religion as we know today.

Those prophets never practiced Judaism.

No time Ni sir
I have a question for you. How is your trust level?. Reason I see is because, sometimes, I wanna surprise someone by having ileya ram delivered to him without getting family member involved.

This means, when ileya is 2wks away, I make deposit to your account for a ram of my choice. That's, you have to show me video and pictures of rams to choose from. Then I pay for it and you deliver to the intended recepient without my physical presence.

Therefore, there must be level of trust. Businesses are conducted like this in civilized world without issues. But Nigeria is a country of distrust and insincerity which makes it hard for average man to do business without his physical presence. This is bad.

So In Sha Allah, I intend to conduct business with you this way to test your company's level of trust. It will be so great if I buy a surprised ram for ileya for the intended recipient at that time.

Hope you understand?. So do you ship rams outside of Lagos?

May Allah continue to rest the soul of Shaykh Adam Al-Ilory. His evergreen lectures dating back to the 80s are still very relevant today.

"He encouraged learning skills and using the brain to "produce and sell" rather than "buy and sell". He encouraged handiwork and agriculture. He warned against sudden personal enrichment through political office fund misappropriations. He encouraged having patience and putting our trust in Allah. He discouraged the get-rich-quick syndrome."
