usermane:Thats why i won't argue with you on this. One thing is clear, your view and your likes were recent not classical one. Women covered throughout islamic history until we have this idea of feminism and freedom which are hypocritical in nature. Examples, Women say "what men can do women can do better" Now, when it comes to job and pay, the statement above works fine for them. But when it comes to paying bills, they say 'you are men, you should pay it'. When it comes to dating, men pay everything. When it comes to entering car, "women first". When it comes to proposing marriage, men kneel. If you dont, they say you are very disrespectful. But when it comes to religion, "we have freedom". All these nonsense make me sick to my stomach |

usermane:Yes, i don't care what you think. My grandfather did the same when i was young. Not only to his family but entire hood. He knocked on doors early in the morning for fajr. I still remember like yesterday. And he taught many islam including those rich people you see on tv today, like Chief Bayo Kuku and many dignitaries. If he didnt do this to us, we would be something else today.Guess what now?. He died in 2015 at 105 and every single person he taught appreciates his effort. So dont blame Mutawa. Dont look at this from Western perspective. You will be so wrong. This is major tenet not hijab, and quran says "enter into the islam wholeheartedly" Q2:208 Too bad you still support the propaganda. He was laughing because he found it ridiculous that a man who cannot force his own daughter to wear headcover wants the entire population of Egyptian women be forced to wear head cover. Nothing mocking of hair covering in that. The problem is your mindset.If you said so |

usermane:all these are diff stuff. We talking about Islamic injunction here. One thing is to acknowledge this injunition, another thing is to acknowledge it but dont have the capacity to do it yet. This i dont have have problem with. But to say "i dont see it as obligatory or command from God" is opinion and such people need knowledge. Opinion is irrelevant here bcus they can as well say obligatory salat is not neccessary too. Re-read my post again. I did a lot of modifying, so a lot you've written here is not really necessary. Plus, I haven't stated that Sufi relaxed hijab, I stated Sufis generally do not believe in enforcing Islamic rules like hijab.See, if you take little time and go back to old men in Yoruba history, they enforce it and they were sufis but the enforcement was not to the level of authority. Like for instance, they would explain the way i just did like covering to protect their beauty and covering in the case of prayers. If they saw women walked down the street, they said "cover your head". Some would say "where is your head cover". See, it is enforcement but not authoritative. This is enforcement i was talking about not enforcement of wielding cane around or jail them. This enforcement i just described falls under commanding good and forbidding evil. This is what i taught MS tried to do Which problem do I have with Muslims? Is it criticizing the Saudi and Iranian government for enforcing hijab?You have problem with enforcement code in those countries? There is no importance in hair covering, if that's what you mean by hijab. Modest dressing that curbs lust is what Qur'an speaks of. There is no in hair that incites lust.I have told you that they reduced hijab to "covering my beauty", is not essentially the case. It has spiritual meaning which was the real case when i was growing up. Hair is not about lust. It is more than that. I think you should research this. Some understand what i am talking about. Why do you think christians, when they have problems and go to their pastors with head covered?. |

usermane:Whats your position on covering hair for women in salat. Obligatory or not?. This will give me clue where you stand. |
| Islam › Re: Islam For Muslims: Side Talk Station by Empiree: 4:08pm On Oct 09, 2018 |
usermane:Okay, i think your issue is FORCE. I get it. Remember obligatory practices like Salat, Siyam, zakat, Haj are forced on us by Creator Himself. We have no choice when we embrace islam but claim we have freedom not to pray. Salat etc are injunctions. There are also other injunctions muslims abide by but depends on level of Iman. They simply have different levels of enforcement. Like enforcement of obligatory practices are higher compared to enforcement of hijab. I have to admit that i didnt fully watch the clip before i posted it. But i still disagree with the president bcus, even if he disagree with MS's proposal, it should never happen in such platform where it appears mockery of God's injunction. He didnt reject their proposal from scholarly perspective. Rather he was laughing. That was the reason i see no Ikhlas in his rejection of proposal. If he wanted to reject their proposal, it should have been done respectively. He didnt do that in the video. He and his audience were just laughing, Therefore, propaganda was justified in my opinion. |

usermane:Even in salat?. Even craziest feminist Muslims in America like Amina Wadud and the other one in canada who leads salat cover up around the clock despite feminity agenda. It got to do with your militant views on Islam, like authorities enforcing headcovering. Sufis are less militant in their approach to sharia that hardline Sunnites. But with you, I learnt to be cautious with SufisTalking about enforcing hijab by authority, is just one of these basic public moral laws. Hijab should be encouraged. Not the way you are viewing. You are trying to relax it 100% as you already pointed out up there. Back in the days, the Sufis you mentioned didn't even allowed women to sit near them uncovered when they make Dua or offer salat because the believe is that angels don't patronize the region where women's hair is uncovered. This has long been Muslim tradition. But today, they reduced Hijab to "covering our beauty" which is not essentialy the case. So you can see importance of covering hair. This is not about militant view. Majority of the Sufi still command wearing hijab. So what's your point. And at no point did I tell you I'm a Sufi. This name calling are meant to promote sectarianism. I don't fall for that. Changing your words? You said you support the government enforcing it. And you falsely accused an ex-president of ridiculing it. That is the problem.like it or not, I like the way Muslim majority countries, Iran and Saudi enforced it. There should be outward signs and outward appearance of muslims in majority muslim countries. Muslim country shouldn't look like Las Vegas. Just like Vatican, if you go there, you see women and men in their religious regalia all the time. Why should you have problems with Muslim?. What I don't support is enforcement of face veil. Beautifully explained? You might be living under a rock. There is no guarantee that such an effort will convince every Muslim woman on headcovering. Ask the Ayatollahs and Muftis.efforts must be made. Period. You on the other hand are trying to relax it and make it sound like it is not important. The best way to make it easy for them is by making it traditional and cultural practice from childhood. Allah rewards them for covering. I have sisters too who don't cover but only cover at the time of salat. I also have sisters who cover all the time outside. We're talking about freedom of every Muslim women to decide whether to wear or not wear it. Not whether it is divine command or not.Sorry sir. Hijab is part of Islam. I don't understand what freedom you are talking about. So people can also say they have freedom not to pray obligatory salat too and still remain muslim?. Let me ask you this, why are you concern about hijab when in fact, there are non-Muslims trying to be like muslims?. We should encourage people not nonsense you are saying. Did you watch American rapper who appeared on Dr. Phill show some 6 years ago all covered up?. She went from unclothedness to being covered. What Islamic legacy do you as a "muslim" teach folks like her?. Importance of hijab must be taught. And if after understanding it, but some women still decide "oh well, I still don't wanna wear hijab", then, for as long as they don't go around telling fellow women that they have freedom not to wear it, I'm cool with that. Head covering is fitra for women throughout history, muslim or not. |

| Islam › Re: ...... by Empiree: 12:06am On Oct 09, 2018*. Modified: 5:59am On Oct 09, 2018 |
LadunaI:  Honestly, i am seeing his picture first time. I only heard his voice on radio back then. He is الشيخ عبد العزيز عجاجمبيفرفي As-Sheikh AbdulAzeez Ajágbémókèfèrí Why is that there is insufficient materials on ruhaniya? I tried to make some little research about it after watching those videos, but what I find is very scanty. I wish I could get details about them.The reason for insufficient materials on ruhaniya is because Quran only mentioned 3 major categories of beings: [u]Malaikat, Jinns and Humans[/quote]. Therefore, it is easy for fellow muslims who are not essentially adhkar to criticize or condemn it. Or simply say it is Jinn. To be honest, i dont necessarily blame them, but they need to humble a little. I started researching on them 4yrs ago and i found some materials. Also heard that Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani(ra) encountered them. Another reason is, since evidence is not entirely clear from kitab and sunnah, it only makes sense for awliya to keep it to themselves, bcus they only strengthen awliya afterall, which means it is personal to them. That's why it is not publicly displayed. Sheikh Malik Adebayo said "what you learned internally remains internal and within your rank". Unfortunately, there might be folks who are doing something else while attributing higher spiritual status to themselves but in fact, they only use Jinn especially for levitate, "karama". There are also extreme people on the other side who think that every extraordinary incident that happens to awliya is work of Jinn to the extent that if they hear a muslim predicts or says something out of their firasa, they always claim he is using jinn like they accused sheikh Adam (ra). So i wonder if in their mind, Allah can not do anything without jinn involvement?. The reason i have made up my mind and believe that ruhaniyun are different from Jinn is bcus, Quran talks about "ruh" in different categories and that we can not fully understand "ruh". When I asked my sheikh if there is evidence for ruhaniya in the Quran, he cited surah Qadr ayah 4. Although some translations claim ruh in the ayah is Jibril(as) but sheikh Ahmed Alaye (ra) disagreed. He said "if you believe Jubril is what the ayah is referring to as "ruh", that's your believe not me". But one thing is clear, malaikat and ruh are mentioned in the ayah separately. Another reason I believe ruhaniyun exist is bcus there exist in all Allah's Names and Attributes beings in charge of them if you invoke these Names. Remember that mufassir are only human beings. They only translated Quran but i have realized that Quran can never be translated. It can only be explained. Therefore, there was no way they could grasped everything. Another excuse given by those who dont believe in existence of ruhaniya is that there was no precedence. That is, the aslaf. I said to them that, sahaba would not need that bcus the presence of nabi(saw) was more than enough for them. Even after nabi(saw) was gone, sahaba displayed magnificent element of firasa and kashf. Everything is not about Jinn. Those who sincerely involved with dhikr can tell the difference btw Jinn and ruhaniyun (ruhaniya). Also, sheikh Yasir Qadr few years ago narrated a friend of his who is a raqi. He asked a jinn (a young jinn) if Allah created other beings besides Malaikat(as we know them), Jinns and humans because one of Allah's Names is He creates (al-Khāliq) which is also present continuous tense?. The Jinn replied "it is possible but i don't know. You should ask my senior". The raqi only exercised his crousity due to Allah's Name, "al-Khāliq". We just need to move close to awon agbalagba sufi. They have Allah's Names beyond 99 Names we know. I didnt want to say this 4 years ago in Jinn Stories thread because some might say there are no other Names. But alhamdulillah, i found famous hadith and also heard of the same hadith in Jummah lecture that there are other Names. But these are just for the elites. What is in the kitab and sunnah are enough to live our lives to make it to jannah in sha Allah. So, good sheikh would not come outside and talk recklessly about ruhaniyah or any phenomenon that average muslims don't comprehend. It is mukhuh to do so. My sheikh is like that too. He doesn't talk outside. And he never talked about this with me until 2012. You may need to get off online and look for awliya or those faithful alfa who are not lazy. There was a website i found 4 years ago. I don't remember where i saved it. It ranked them as follow: Malaikat (like Jubril) Ruhaniyun(light) Jinn This is exactly what my sheikh said. He said "awon ruhaniya lo wa laarin. Fúnfún lawón". So knowledge like this are not debated in public according to Sheikh Rabiu Adebayo 2 Likes |

usermane:then you are in the wrong because the prophet even singled out kulafah rashidun and those who follow them Same argument as Abdelkabir. Your fault here is that you do not have an official list of the companions during and after Muhammad's days. So how do you isolate the grains from the chaff?why is a list needed when history already tells us positions of them?. You also fail to see that some companions may not have not renounced Islam but invariably fell astray in their practising.Astray in what sense?. Tenets of Islam or other voluntary practices?. No companions of the prophet (saw) go against obligatory practices as taught them till today. The one who tried to deviated was dealt with. So what do you mean by "astray"? Give it up, man. There is no guarantee that any of the companions, remained accurate in Islam till death.onus is on you to be specific on what part of Islam they failed to hold on to. |

usermane:whatever rock your boat. I wasn't thinking about correcting my original post because I didn't think that was necessary as my later post would automatically corrects that. Otherwise, your post will be meaningless. Anyways, Hijab is fard when making salat and this is not about "covering my beauty" as many think. This seems to be trending notion amongst women. And there is nothing to suggest that it's not fard outside of salat either. And who told you Sufis relaxe this practice?. And what's Sufi gotta do with this?. Now if a woman doesn't wear it, is due to her understanding or idea of how she perceives it. So I don't recommend any individual forcing it on her. Hijab is not about just "covering beauty". It is more than that for their own good and those around them. If they pray salat without head cover they are just doing exercise. Truth must be told. I am not here to curry flavor your opinion. There is linguistic and sharia definition of hijab. So we are talking about sharia definition here. It has to be beautifully explained to women before enforcement and only authority should do that if they want to. It is not essentially a Law but a Command. And forcement thing has to be gradual process. And talking about Sufis, some just have liberal approach to it that's all. Doesn't the Bible commands Hijab?. Answer that please. |

usermane:Authority does have the right to enforce it if they have to. Quran orders for it so muslim authority has enforcement responsibility to certain extent but not without explaining its importance. But I don't support imposition on non muslim citizens. It has nothing to do with iran and Saudi. |

He once remarked: ‘My companions and others come to me, and I see on their faces, and in their eyes, things I do not mention to them.’ So I, or someone else, said to him: What if you just tell them? He replied: ‘Do you wish that I become a fortune-teller like those [in the courts] of the rulers?’ I once said to him: If you treat us according to what you see, it will help make us more steadfast and upright. He replied: ‘You would not be able to put up with me for even a Friday, or a month!’ He informed me on several occasions about certain private matters I intended to do, but which I had not spoken of to anyone. He told me of major events that would take place in the future, without specifying dates. I have seen some of them happen; I await the others. What his senior companions have witnessed of this is far more than what I have seen. And God knows best.” 1. A hadith related by al-Tirmidhi, no.3127, saying the hadith is gharib. It has a support in the following hadith: ‘Indeed, God has servants who know about people by reading the signs.’ [Al-Tabarani, Mu‘jam al-Awsat, no.3086, and its chain is hasan]. 2. Al-Fawa’id (Makkah: Dar ‘Alam al-Fawa’id, 2008), 106. 3. Madarij al-Salikin (Riyadh: Dat Taybah, 2008), 3:368-70. Source |

In his magesterial Madarij al-Salikin, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah discusses the reality of firasah, its cause, the sayings of the early masters concerning it, and its types. He also relates some wondrous accounts about the firasah of his shaykh and mentor, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. He writes: “I have witnessed incredible things from the firasah of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy upon him; and what I have not seen are even greater – accounts that would need a large volume to document: He informed his companions how the Tartars would invade the Levant (sham), in the year 699H, how the Muslim armies would be vanquished, and how there would be no indiscriminate killing or the taking of captives in Damascus, and how the army’s sole craving would be for wealth. All of this was before the Tartars had even decided to set-out. He then informed the public and the rulers, in the year 702H, as the Tartars were advancing on the Levant, of how they would be routed and defeated, and how triumph and victory would be for Muslims. He swore an oath about this over seventy times. So the people insisted, say ‘God-willing (insha’Llah),’ to which he replied: ‘God-willing; in the sense it will happen, not in the sense it could happen!’ I heard him say this. He said: ‘When they kept urging me, I said: Do not do so. For God, Exalted is He, has written it in the Preserved Tablet (al-lawh al-mahfuz), that on this occasion they will be defeated and that victory shall be for the armies of Islam.’ |

Firasah of Ibn Taymiyyah Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah remarked: ‘O you who are defenceless! Beware the spiritual insight of the godly one, for he sees your hidden deeds from behind a veil: “Beware the spiritual insight of a believer, for he sees with the light of God.” Spiritual insight, or firasah, is a faith-based insight that God casts into the hearts of His faithful ones, by which peoples’ states or deeds are unveiled to them. They are from those saintly miracles (karamat al-awliya) gifted to them by God; the inner workings of which are the very opposite of magic and sorcery. Sorcerers claim power, for themselves or for others besides God. Saints (and more so, Prophets) claim only helplessness before their Lord, accepting they have no share whatsoever in the miracles which issues forth from them. Such spiritual intuitions or epiphanies that arise in the heart are seldom wrong if the heart is pure. Which is to say, the accuracy of a person’s firasah will depend upon their nearness to God and their strength of faith. For, as masters of the inward life say, when souls approach the presence of the Truth (al-Haqq), it is usually the epiphanies of the Truth that come to it. |

MrOlai:Who is this one?. But you believe weatherman telling you 5 days forecast, right?. What do you call that?. You believe doctor telling your wife what is in the womb, correct?. Doesn't Quran speaks against these too?. If you dont understand what I posted up there, kindly not quote me. Clear?. Before modern technology, what was used? Before modern hospital what was used? Modern "life support" machine that allegedly "save" lives falls in this categories too. If you believe the machine keeps someone alive, you have committed shirk. God forbid, i am sure if your family member is in life and death situation and "life support" machine is suggested, you won't hesitate to use it which means you believe it saves. You can not say "this is technology and it is different". No. They are the same essence. Please stop sticking your nose in what you dont know. No one's telling you to visit soothsayers. Get over your ego. You fall in this category i described above. Empi.ree:What the prophet(saw) condemned are those who play God by claiming to know the future. Like Osanyin, Osun worshippers, "Alfa" who claims knowledge of ghaib for himself independent of Allah etc. If you give blanket declaration of shirk, how about those waliy that Allah bestowed firasa (spiritual acumen or ability to perceive the future), like Ibn Taymiyyah(ra) who foretold some events to occur in the future, especially regarding the Mongols?. Difference is, waliy refers back to Allah while the formers claim unseen for themself. If you want, watch this 4mins clip. He explained exactly what i said.

usermane:There is another similar Hadith and there are other ahadith in the contrary. Therefore, the best position in my view is that this hadith is talking about those "companions" at the time of the prophet who later mysteriously so, renounced Islam AFTER the prophet (saw). Or those who waged war on tenets of Islam like Musaylima. Therefore, we don't call those "companions" of the prophet (saw). They were "companions" only during his time. Perhaps they were not even believers that time too. No one could determine iman. Iman resides in the heart. |
