IslamRe: Is Quran The Word Of Allah OR Creation Of Allah? by Empiree: 4:28pm On Dec 10, 2018
lanrexlan:
You keep clinging to this weak rope and committing fallacy. Your father might be a sheikh of Islamic studies, that's not tantamount to you knowing what he knows. Prophet Nuh was a messenger, yet his kid NEVER benefited from his knowledge nor guidance.
We know sheikhs of the highest order whose kids are shame to them. These kids know nothing as regards to the deen. (May Allah guide them and us)

Knowledge is acquired by learning and studying, it is NEVER inherited. Stop hiding under this "My father is this, my dad is that".
this is a tactic used by so called former Muslims or "Muslim experts" who are now Christians, according to them. The same was used by "bonsue Fuji" man Ayuba. "My father is a sheikh" as if he and his father will be buried in the same grave.

Nonsense.

ADAGBA JE RAUFU .......................


In case you wish to know the Event that led to the popular Yoruba say, "ÀDÀGBÀ JÉ RÀÚFÙ"

The phrase is not complete, historically, the meaning is .....
"Àdàgbà jé Ràúfù, ó sàn ju Ògúndèyí bá n múgbáwá (or ahá)".....

Meaning.... "To Change ones Name at late age is better than Ogundeyi serve us with Palmwine....aha is a small calabash in form of Cup used in serving or drinking palmwine.

There was a Man called Ogundeyi, he was like a bar man in one of Yoruba King's palace. His duty was to serve King's guests everyday.

One day an itinerary preacher came to their town and Ogundeyi got converted to Islam. The Scholar gave him AbdurRauf based on the circumstances of his conversion.... But in the olden days, the Name was better called Ràúfú.

Ràúfú decided to follow the Scholar on dawaah outing that lasted for months....

On his return to the town, Ogundeyi (now Raufu) shunned his job of Service Man at the Palace claiming Islam abhors drinking of intoxicants. He became subject of discussion, taunting, abuse, name calling and jesting.....

One of it is ....Adagba je Raufu. That is, at old age, you suddenly realized the need for Raufu instead of Ogundeyi based on religious belief.


But, an event that Changed the narrative was a drought they experienced in the town . There was no rainfall for years, and all the Idols were appeased to no success... Then, Ogundeyi went to the King to inform of a Prayer he learned through his Alfa that can bring rain ( Solatul Istisqai).


The King in dire need of a way-out of the drought agreed to Ogundeyi's suggestion.


The whole populace gathered at the outskirt of the town to observe the Solat led by Ogundeyi or Raufu. They hardly finished the solat and there was a heavy downpour to the admiration of the people.



Ogundeyi was revered as they saw as someone with better efficacy of prayer. Thus, the narrative Changed instead of abuses it turned out to be praises...
The phrase was now modified to.... "Àdàgbà jé Ràúfù ósàn ju Ògúndèyí bá n múgbá wá or bá n máhá wá.

Anyway from your post I think you are saying it is not a must for them to follow Islamic process in determining custody?
I doubt the mans family will let her go with the kids especially since she has no legal court marriage certificate. Her saving grace is to invoke Islamic law and involve imams in her area if they try to take her kids that's why I wanted to know what Islamic law states.
she can definitely seek assistance of Islamic leadership. And what I meant by "it is not necessarily Islamic thing" is about custody. Actually in most divorce cases, the process is identical with Islam and common law. The difference is Islam proceedings make sense in the sense of Will (ogun) than Western one. I think she should seek help from both families and call on local imams to intervene.

This may not resolve the issue permanently as the husband could do as he wishes after meeting. But court is the law. This is why I suggested family court.
Christianity EtcRe: Oyedepo Replies Presidency, Says ‘dead Buhari Statement Not Hate Speech’ by Empiree: 1:32pm On Dec 08, 2018
MediahelmNGR:
The General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has mocked critics urging him to withdraw his statement concerning the President Muhammadu Buhari being dead and cloned as Jubril Sud

Oyedepo had last week while reacting to report that Buhari was dead and the President in Aso Rock was Jubril El Sudan, urged the congregation to pray to God to deliver Nigeria from slavery, shame, and reproach as the report of alleged cloning was disturbing.

But, reacting, the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital and New Media, Tolu Ogunlesi described the cleric as a ‘hater of Buhari’.


He had wondered why the cleric would go to a far length to discredit Buhari.

However, speaking from Living Faith church HQ at Canaan land, Ota, on Saturday, Oyedepo vowed not to withdraw his statement because it was not a hate speech.

According to him, his statement was a self esteem speech.


The cleric said,

Salam all.

I am asking this question because of a Muslim sister who is having issues in her marriage.

Her husband fails to provide for the family and he is hardly even around for days, the last time he showed up he disappeared again for a month and then sent a text to his wife saying she can leave if she is tired of the marriage but she must leave the children behind, she cannot take them with her.

She didn't do court marriage so she cannot fight for custody with Nigerian laws so what is she supposed to do regarding custody of the kids?

In Islam who keeps the kids after divorce, the man or woman?

Thanks for your help.

everyone else
walaikum Salam

I am not familiar with Nigeria family law. What I do know is that, regardless of whether they did court marriage or not, they may take their case to court or family court. I am sure they have such system in place in Nigeria.

Court only decides what's in the best interest of the child. Mind you, both parents are entitled to custody of their child. Again, what is in the best interest of the child is what's at stake. If husband is deemed irresponsible in the eyes of the law, which is detrimental to the child's well being, the mother takes custody base on info you provided (that husband appears to be in and out of his child life). Obviously this is unhealthy for the child.

This is not about who takes custody Islamically. Both parents are entitled but women tend to have more right due to their caring nature, perhaps. In this case, they are still legally married but they are only separated Divorce has yet to take place. Their case may have to be settled within the family if they aren't interesting in legal adjudication.

Again, in any sane court, interest of the child comes first. So taking custody depends on factors affecting either parents. A child can not be in environment that is unhealthy. There is possibility that they may reconcile after they calm their nerves and shun divorce. So Divorce is off the table for now. Telling his wife that she can go if she wants is not divorce or legal process.

Why is it that other Mujaddid are not been recognised and they hardly make reference to any of them.

At least there should be more than ten Mujaddids, as we're now in the 15 century of Islam. Do you know others been consider for that exalted position before?
As a saying goes, the first mistake we make is that we always think of "someone else would be that majadid". Why not me?. Lol

The Hadith in question is valid, no doubt but matn of the hadith may have been worded slightly different from how Nabi (saw) said it. In this day and age with this sectarian and different ideological nonsense imbibed in the Muslim community worldwide, if someone should claim to be that majadid, such may belong to certain group or ideology. By default, other sects would turn him down if his manhaj doesn't fit their narrative.

For instance, sayyidi mawdudi said to be Mujaddid. Ibn Taymiyyah is said to be Mujaddid of his time as well but we have people who disagreed with them. I used to read sayyidi mawdudi growing up.

So there is another similar hadith which said there would always be group from this ummah that is upright and will be so until end of time. So by uniting both ahadith in harmonious whole to derive a meaning shows that Mujaddid is kinda collective effort of muslims i:e groups in the Muslim community.

But without clear evidence, whether it is real or not about the origin of irun Kiki, I say ALLāhu a'alam, but I would rather take a safe side by distancing from it and use another word for it.

Yea, imo lile was coined by those who mocked Islam, you are right. Maale itself is from esin maale (Mali).

Lolzzzzz, you are always funny as you are. If this iwakuwa, then keep on swimming in the pool of ignorance. Am trying to explain words which have islamically incorrect background or might have originated from shirk, you are there swallowing everything that comes ur way, no wonder. Imale wasn't coined from imo lile, it was coined from esin maale, (meaning religion that comes from Maali), go and consult your elders before you come online tintype nonsense, not esin lile.
This isn't about disrespecting language, Lolzzz, this is about Yoruba use of language that contradicts Islamic teaching.

I thought you would also refute number one to four of my post cos it is also disrespecting language na, shiior.
oya then, refute yourself on irún since it is derived from "shirk". So far, what you copied is not convincing. The terminology is off.

Yes, imale might originally derived from "maali" according to other source (s). I have heard that in the past. But the people who mocked Muslims back in the days coined the terminology from "imo lile" hard knowledge. I grew up with this. People used to say keu studies was hard. This meaning appears to be restricted to non-Muslim Yoruba.

it is not about local language, it is about the origin. If it negates tawheed, we don't take it even if it is Arabic language. Ogun, Oya, obatala are local languages too. Argue with facts.
shaking my head. Irun kiki is what it is. Nothing negates tawhid. Ya just wanna have something to criticize. It is the same with sujud. There is no single english word for sujud but english translation of meaning of the Quran is misconstrued for ruku(prostration or bowing). They used the same for sujud which is false. Sujud is iforibale/iforikanle which Allah and His messanger(saw) forbade us. But today, our brothers said "dont prostrate to greet parents" forgetting that english have no word for sujud.

So irun is salat in yoruba language and it has nothing to do with negating tawheed. If you wanna talk about "imale" which is coined from "imo lile" to mock muslims back in the days in reference to difficulties studying arabic or keu. If you live in the West however, it is common amongst muslims even reverts to say "let's go and offer salat bcus thats how they are trained. And once in a while they use "prayers". So prayer is salat in english while irun kiki is yoruba language. Respect your local language my friend and stop giving yourself headache trying to figure out something.

Yoruba so pe, eni ba wa iwakuwa ari irikuri. So keep looking for background meaning of irun and translate it to orun(sun). Thats your definition not me.

Najashi: The king who supported Muslim emigrants


It was a very critical moment. Jafar ibn Abi Taleb, the elder brother of Ali ibn Abi Taleb, who after embracing Islam escaped the prosecution of Makkans and led a delegation of over 80 emigrants to Habesha, was standing in the court of Christian King Najashi to defend Islam. He had full faith in Almighty Allah and so he spoke fearlessly.


After the second emigration of Muslims to Habesha (Abyssinia), Abu Jahl and Abu Sufyan, the two warlords of pagans of Makkah, sent a delegation to Najashi asking him to expel the Muslims. The delegation brought many precious gifts for the king and his courtiers. They presented their claim in the court saying:


“O king, there is a group of evil persons from among our youth who have escaped to your kingdom. They practice a religion, which neither we, nor you know. They have forsaken our religion and have not embraced your religion. The respected leaders of their people — from among their own parents and uncles and from their own clans — have sent us to you to request you to return them.”


The king looked toward his bishops, who had already been bribed, they said: “O king, they speak the truth. Their own people know them better and are better acquainted with what they have done. Send them back so that they themselves might judge them.”
The king was angry with this response and said: “No, by God, I won’t surrender them to anyone until I myself call them and question them about what they have been accused of.”


Najashi invited the Muslims at the court and asked their leader Jafar: “What is this religion which you have introduced for yourself and which has served to cut you off from the religion of your people? You also did not enter my religion nor the religion of any other community.” Jafar stood and replied with full confidence: “O king, we were a people in a state of ignorance and immorality, worshipping idols and eating the flesh of dead animals, committing all sorts of abomination and shameful deeds, breaking the ties of kinship, treating guests badly and the strong among us exploited the weak.


“We remained in this state until Allah sent us a Prophet (peace be upon him), one of our own people whose lineage, truthfulness, trustworthiness and integrity were well-known to us. He called us to worship Allah alone and to renounce the stones and the idols, which we and our ancestors used to worship besides Allah.
“He commanded us to speak the truth, to honor our promises, to be kind to our relations, to be helpful to our neighbors, to cease all forbidden acts, to abstain from bloodshed, to avoid obscenities and false witness, not to appropriate an orphan’s property nor slander chaste women.


He ordered us to worship Allah alone and not to associate anything with him, to uphold Salat, to give Zakat and fast in the month of Ramadan. We believed in him and what he brought to us from Allah and we follow him in what he has asked us to do and we keep away from what he forbade us from doing. “Thereupon, O king, our people attacked us, visited the severest punishment on us to make us renounce our religion and take us back to the old immorality and the worship of idols.


“They oppressed us, made life intolerable for us and obstructed us from observing our religion. So we left for your country, choosing you before anyone else, desiring your protection and hoping to live in justice and in peace in your midst.”


Najashi was impressed and was eager to hear more. He asked Jafar: “Do you have with you something of what your Prophet brought from God? Please read to me:” Jafar, in his rich, melodious voice recited for him a portion of Surah Maryam from Verses 19 to 32.
Najashi stood up for Allah’s words and said: Certainly this and what Jesus had brought come out of one source. He turned to the Makkan delegates and said angrily: I won’t hand them to you and I’ll defend them. Then he ordered his courtier to dismiss the delegation and to return their gifts to them. He then turned to Jafar and his group and said: “You’re welcome; Your Prophet is welcome. I admit that he is the Apostle about whom Jesus had given good news. Live wherever you like in my country.”


The pagan delegation returned to Makkah with their gifts in despair.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) after the Hudaibiyah Treaty, sent letters to leading kings and rulers of the region inviting them to Islam. Amr bin Umayyah Dhimri was delegated to the court of Habesha. King Najashi received the letter with great honor, touched it with his eyes and read it. He came down from the throne and sat on the ground to show his humbleness and high respect for the Prophet of Allah. Later he asked the letter to be preserved in an ivory casket.
The king wrote back saying”...I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah, true and confirming those before you. I have given my allegiance to you and to your brother (i.e. Jafar) and I have surrendered myself through him to the Lord of the Worlds.”


Muslim emigrants returned with Jafar to Madinah when the Prophet (peace be upon him) conquered Khyber. They thanked King Najashi for his good protection and hospitality provided to them. When King Najashi expired the Prophet (peace be upon him) offered his funeral prayer in absentia, in Madinah. He is buried at a place called Najash in Ethiopia.

You dey mind them. They have changed the definition of Sunnah. According to them, whoever subscribes to Alhusunnah Salafi is "truly" following Sunnah by default. And their definition of Sunnah is anything that contradict their understanding even though you present evidence it is bidiah. They are the only ones that have the right to tell you which Hadith is sahih and which one is not

Can you imagine a brother now telling me that hadith of "firasa" is daeef. I just dey smh before I replied him.
