I always had a dream about flying with no wings to anywhere, sometimes to a place where there was many stars and darkness please somebody should interpret it for me.
I'm not a dream interpreter. I think you should check these out what it means to fly in dream. Your dream doesn't sounds like scary one but you should always always take precautions by keeping your dreams secret in case of being misinterpreted.

Signs of a Wali (Friend of Allah) Are you one of them? Find Out



The plural of ‘Wali’ is ‘Awliya’. It is an Arabic word meaning friend. Awliya Allah, therefore, means Friends of Allah almighty. To become a friend to Allah isn’t something you just do. Allah honours certain people; some from birth and others due to their deeds. Here are some characteristics of the Awliya.





#1. They love Allah
Every person obviously wants the love of Allah, or should I say needs the love of Allah. But how many of us are willing to love Allah back? The Awliya are people who actually love Allah. Not because HE can punish them or because HE is more powerful than them. They just love him for being Allah. They always want HIM to be pleased with them. The Quran says: “And those who believe are overflowing in their love for Allah” (2:165)




#2. They remind you of Allah
The Hadith reports that that when the Prophet (pbuh) was asked about the characteristics of the Awliya, he declared, “Allah is remembered when they are seen.” (Nawawi and Ibn Majah). In order words, their presence alone can make you increase in faith.




#3. They do not grief or fear
The holy Quran says: “No doubt! Verily, the Awliya’ of Allah [i.e. those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which he has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve, Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism), and used to fear Allah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and sins and by doing righteous deeds). For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world (i.e. righteous dream seen by the person himself or shown to others), and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allah, this is indeed the supreme success.” (Yunus 10:62-64)



#4. They feel fear when they hear the verses of Allah
Allah (SWT) said in the Quran Surah Al Anfal verse 2 to 4: “The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur’an) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone); Who perform As-Salat (prayer) and spend out of that We have provided them. It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise).”


May Allah make us one of them

IslamRe: ...... by Empiree:
I usually don't use Facebook. But i came across a video uploaded by a brother explaining importance of dreams in Islam and he backed it up with evidences from kitab and sunnah. So he caught my attention.

Not to my surprise, a brother left img comment about Hadith of Aisha(ra) which says



" Whoever innovates in this affairs of ours which is not from it will be rejected"


I saw his comment and I decided to message him, that how is his explainations innovation?.


Our messages are the screenshots. I don't quite understand how some of our muslims think these days. It is funny he doesn't know such Hadith exist and it is muttawatir. He went on to say he went through my profile. My profile doesn't even have religious and spirituality there. Only family stuff and random posts.

Dreams in Islam


The good dream of a man who is salih is a forty-sixth part of prophecy




Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha al-Ansari from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The good dream of a man who is salih is a forty-sixth part of prophecy." Yahya related the like of that to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Maliks Muwatta Book 52, Number 52.1.1

True dreams are a part of Prophethood, as it was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “True dreams are one of the forty-six parts of Prophethood.” (al-Bukhaari, 6472; Muslim, 4201)

Not here to pick a stone at you

Crusaders were designed to wade off intruders. Like first crusader attack i once read was to wade off intruders, ask me who de intruders at that time were.... (Moslems) shocked shocked. It was then i discovered that islamic war don tey

Do you know of a land in India owned by Christians(i think) claimed by the moslems and they kept fighting till none possessed it

Sorry for calling you guys intruders but do you know why i do? A Christian hausa woman was told me that Catholicism came to their land first but the same moslems came in with force (that's intruding u know!!! ) ....some africa countries too suffered this.




we christians halted ours long ago but jihad still lives on embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed

to refresh history

The crusaders of the First Crusade managed to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem in 1099. But after almost 50 years of peace, fighting broke out again, with the Muslims the winners. The Third Crusade made heroes out of the Muslim leader Saladin and the English king, who became known as Richard the Lionheart.

IslamRe: Qur'an: Human Rights, Freedom & Equity by Empiree: 6:02am On Oct 22, 2018
usermane:
Self righteousness & Hypocrisy. Holier than thou! A Muslim whose own traditions relay that the messenger consummated his marriage with a 9 years old kid, whom he had married at 6 years of age. Pedophilia?! Such Muslim have no right to condemn to death two gays in private, consensual romantic or marital affair.
Although I am not pro 9 year old hadith. I am only for or against it base on whoever i talk to. I personally do not believe the hadith is valid base on ayah of Quran which portrays wife of the prophet(saw) as woman. But according to hadith, a girl at 6 to 9 is still a child or young girl base on another hadith which portrays Aisha(ra) playing with a doll. That's my reason for rejecting the hadith when i dialogue with fellow muslims.

But when i dialogue with christian, bcus they have ulterior motives to mock our prophet(saw), i simply point several reasons why they can not mock him and get away with it. My arguments against them on this issue are as follow:


according to some christian literature, Mary, a young girl at 12 married to 99 year old Josef


historically, many non-muslim cultures, clergymen, kings, warriors etc both pre-medieval and post medieval era married young girls as young as 10 -15 yrs of age


in our contemporary world, western world especially, looking into thier marriageable age by state, shows that a girl can marry as young as 15, 16 etc depending on state.


we have bunch of pre-teen who have babies everywhere like roaches




These 4 points highlighted are enough to shut them up. When it comes to you however, going by your analysis up there, you failed to reason logically. You forgot that you can hardly find any muslim male who marry a girl as young as 6-9. No one follow the hadith (sunnah). But you applied 1400 years old documented evidence to non-practical act in 2018 and then compared to a condemnable act of homosexual. Therefore, you are very illogical. If you can identify a 50 year old muslim man who marries 6 yr old child in our time, only then you may be right about pedophilia. But guess what?. The only place pedophilia is obvious and still in existence is in christianity (vatican). You have no point at this time. Or if you wanna talk about child abuse, you will find it there too in the name of baptism

What's your view on the story of Nabi Muhammad (saw) and Abu Bakr(ra) in the cave of Thawr when they escaped from Mecca to the desert?


As portrayed in the movie, " The Message ", a man who appeared to be soothsayer foreseen presence of both men and claimed they were inside but the mushrikun could not see the traces of that due to lack of footprints on the desert.

Common notion in Yorubaland in that the soothsayer was "ifa Diviner" which was used to track them in the desert to no avail. And I think he was killed by mushrikun afterwards.

Similarly, Osupa made reference to this in his song in the 90s. I can't verify authenticity of this narration. Do you have any documented evidence of this or it is just one of those unfounded stories?.

Thanks

Regarding the objection raised by the ustaz, I can also play the same similar game with Islam. If the same Islam of muhammed is still the same as of today. They are so many evidence that go against it.

No, you should ask. And the answer is, prophet Muhammad was one then and the same person now. His message is one till now. Any questionable messages attributed to him will have to be weigned with Quran. But you failed to see what Alfa is saying regarding isese. As for Ifa aspect, if Ooni is not historian nor babalawo, then, he is simply wrong to come out publicly and made obnoxious statements that even fellow Obas disagree with.

I understood it very well. So what's your take in the issue of putting The Quran in those hotels. Unless we want to be munaafiqs, mist hotels are full of Haraam acts. Is there nothing wrong in having The Quran in those rooms. Imagine someone just spilled alcohol on The Word of Allah!(wa iyaadhu biLlah)
there is no need to drag this. Like someone said earlier, it is not necessary to place Quran there.


I think I made my point clear, isn't?.


What you missed is that if a hotel is primarily funded by Muslims and it is established on Islamic principles, there won't be any obvious Haram activities like selling it alcohol, pork etc.

But you can't prevent fornication or adultery because you don't know what goes on in the room and management is not responsible for that. Therefore, base on these principles I mentioned, Qur'an can be placed in hotel drawers since management
doesn't accommodate selling of these things to begin with. Simple isn't?.

Let's not complicate things

And there are very few who indeed were Muslims before but for some reason, they left Islam. This is normal if we understand Islam better. There are people who are born in muslim household to muslim parents and die as Muslims. There are people who are in the same position but they converted to other religion and die there.

There are people from Christianity and or other religions who revert to Islam and die as muslims. So it is not a big deal at all. I'm not here to debate religion. This topic is not related.

I knew you will twist things. What I wrote can only be understood by wise people. You don't have to tell me what an hotel is meant for. So hotels can be selling alcohol too?
perhaps you misunderstood this?. If they sell alcohol, that's their discretion. A muslim may avoid specific hotel if they force customers to buy alcohol. But I have never seen any hotel that forces anyone to buy alcohol. They have bar on the side where they do this. It has nothing to do with you. You just rent your room, order food at their restaurant as that's it. Their Haram activities have nothing to do with you unless they make it obligatory as part of their policy for you to be part of it.

Why should we have The Word of Allah in hotels, while we know that most hotels if not all are places of fornication and alcohol. And Allah has protected His book from such filthy places.

Only someone who doesn't understand Islam or wants to become like the West would advice The Quran be put in such hotels.
lol, this is illogical. Hotel by definition is meant to provide accommodation for travellers especially. It is not designed for fornication or adultery. But people may do Haram things they want while hotel establishment is not responsible for that. However, hotel management may accommodates Haram stuff like alcohol etc. But this has nothing to do with whoever doesn't want to drink alcohol or fornication.

In Nigeria, we have different definition of hotel from day 1. We have the idea that hotel primary use is for Haram activities. If you travel to another country where you don't know anyone, you have to rent hotel. You possibly carry your Quran with you too. And I do this. I rent hotels all the time and I see their Bible placed in the drawer on the side.

I noticed most hotels in Nigeria (I don't know about the ones in the North) only have the Holy Bible for lodgers.

While this is a good developments, I always wonder what about adherents of other religions?
actually, it is the same in the west. Now, that brings up question of fundamentalism and religious persuasion. If MUSLIMS do the same they label them something despicable. Most hotels in Western countries have Bible(s) in their rooms. It is their fundamental believe system. Why can't Muslims do the same without being seen as extremists?

That's is very cruel!. So, all this America dream boils now of been in perpetual debt till "eternity". Muslims must NOT be caught in this mess.

The Prophet(saw) warned us critically about debt, to the extent that as loftly as position of mujaheedeen is in the sight of Allah, their debt wouldn't be forgiven whilst other shortcomings would be for them, if they die in the battle field. This shows the gravity of debt. May Allah protect us from it.

I want to believe that more than 50% of Americans dies with one form of debt or the other because of this useless system.

No wonder Robert Kiyoski was saying in one video that there are "good debt". The one in which you invest perhaps in real estate, which will always fetch you not only the monthly payback money but also small change in your pocket grin lol. You beat then in their own game.
if they die of natural causes while in debt is one thing. But many kill themselves because of debt. That's double jeopardy.

Real estate is beautiful depending on area you deal with. But there is always profit and loss. One profit may give you lifetime financial security. So Robert Kiyoski was right. But it may be very tough to make it through at the beginning. So it is better to be debt free than swimming in debt in the name of building credit. Credit doesn't put food on the table. It only looks good on paper. Hell with paper. undecided

if you are aware we learn it from school, why are you asking for documented evidence then?. Consult your school text book to have one. Isese is not limited to human writing. Isese holds ancient value that predate both Islam and Christianity , we don't have one useless book to argue over, we let nature inspire us. Oduduwa does not claim prophethood, so what does he going to do with the holy book . Muhammed himself cannot verified his own source. What is the external evidence that what is written or find in quran is a fact? It is just belived that rested on nothingness like that of Vedas of Hindus or bible of the christain. There is no objective theological way to test the evidence in the documented quran. ATR is about giving you value thru the nature. You can find evidence yourself if you so wish.


You cited a bogus reference that cannot be objectively verified if it is true., I will give you information that was passed down thru memorization but has physical evidence to hold on. The lingua meaning of oni is (oni ri orisha ) the one who see orisa, oni fore father was an ABORE( chief priest ) not oduduwa direct son. He was just fortunate to own oduduwa crown ( their are historical background to this). If you want first hand information , visit ife during olojo festival, oni wear a particular crown called ade are(oduduwa personal crown) It only used by oni thru out Yoruba race. The essence is to justify the importance of oni and the throne in Yoruba land.


lol....alfa has no authority on the subject, isese is unstructured religion .There are more than 7,000 languages in the world, as listed at Ethnologue.
Each of those languages has been a defining mark of at least one culture in which Yoruba is part and nearly all of those cultures have their own religion.

Fewer than a hundred languages have a really active written culture. It is not peculiar to Yoruba tradition only.

Like i said having your written documented those not validate your religion.... and the babalawo accepting Islam is not a well substantiate evidence. Even many alfa are practically babalawo. Many alfa are even embracing Christianity.....


Odu ifa predate islamic prophet or even Jesus. There are scientific evidence for that.... if you must know , check and confirm when Ile ife was established (the expansive land).





As someone who has studied the quran and islam and it is still on it till present ., I would say there are just too many to count. Yet for every error you find, there are always brainwashed followers who will use the following arguments; 1) you don’t know what you’re talking about; you just got that from some islamophobic site! or 2) Well, if you read the actual Arabic, that’s not what the qur’an really says. But if you must know. These are just two examples among the numerous. According to Quran 51:49 and Quran 36:36, all creatures are created in pairs, but viruses, bacteria, Mexican whiptail lizard, and several other creatures are asexual and do not mate or have a couple. Confirm my source.




No one has make orisha an object of worshiped it is ignorance to say so. Yoruba belief exist long ago before muhamedanism, therefore should be different from arab myth. I repeat It again. it is the duty of oni to foster unity among his subjects. Oni is sophistically treating all religion as one just like how our politicians are treating us as one people. When in actuality we are of different background. ( but this techniques has foster unity among us)despite it been false. It is also find in islam, i have earlier refer you to it.


I said you should stop treating road side mechanics as the same as mechanic engineering. I am aware of adam al ilori myself. Bunch of Ile kewu graduate.



Go thru my thread. I have answer this similar question. This is why I use to say black muslims suffer from deep mental-slavery. They often try to condemn African spirituality as "idol worship." And When we say that our religious sculptures are just symbolic focal points, and not God himself, the muslims act stupid like they can't understand this, yet they do the same thing but with a building and not a sculpture.

When muslims worship, they bow and kneel to a mosque in the direction of the kaaba in Mecca. To any onlooker, they are worshipping the mosque building and the kaaba of Mecca.

But that would sound foolish to the muslims right because they know that the building is just a visual symbolic focal point not an object of worship.

Yet, hypocritically, you don't recognize the same logic in other religions that are doing the same symbolic thing but just with sculpture instead of bowing to a building.

You want me to take you and your clown king seriously. I am well versed in this topic than him.(sorry if that denote pride but that is the truth )he even lack the requirement in the first place, so his sophistry cannot influence me. . Iwo is a suburb of Yoruba land not the entirety of Yoruba kingdom.

We like to tell you about iwo but i don't see a need for that in this topic.



i have admitted this since .he is not an historian just like king fahd that authorized quran is not a scholar.

Oni roles is not to preach but to influence . I have repeat this times without number.
when you have time watch this response to Oni
