Don’t leave Istighfar: A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: “The sky does not shower us with rain.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).”


�

Then another person came to him and said, “I complain of poverty.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”


�

Then another person came to him and complained, “My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”


�

The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: “Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”


�

Al-Hasan al-Basri said, “Have you not read the statement of Allah? ‘I said “Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”‘” [Nuh (71):10-12]


�

There are two things in the earth that give a person safety and security from the punishment of Allah. The first has been removed, whilst the second still remains. As for the first, it was the Messenger of Allah (صلي ألله عليه و سلم).“Allah would not punish them while you were among them.” [al-Anfal ( 8 ):33] As for the second, it is istighfar. “Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.” [al-Anfal ( 8 ):33]أستغفر ألله… أستغفر ألله… أستغفر ألله…


�

Do not ever leave istighfar!

�

Please share and remember that you will receive the reward for all those who make istighfar, due to your reminder.

Astaghfirullaaha wa 'atoobu 'ilayhi.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him.�

It is really high time these Northern youths start using their thinking capacity. Everything is not gra gra. Are Nigerian hotel worse than Western hotels when it comes to fawaish(unholy activities)?. In any hotels you go in the US, they place Bible in each room, inside the drawer. Nothing else stays in the drawer with the Book. I have now noticed they are putting Quran too in the next drawer by the other side of the bed.

Quran or Bible may be in the drawer and whoever wants to commit fawaish would still do it. This is not the way to go about expressing your 'love'. I understand but it is getting too much now with this kind of uncultured attitude. If Nigeria or the region is lawless, islamic principle should have prevailed their silly approach. Now, hotel would remove Quran from the rooms but leave the Bible. Higher percentage of non-muslim guests will see no need to request for Quran. Many of them may not even know that Quran is available if hotel doesn't make provision for it. But if Quran is also placed there (without request), a non-muslim guest may decide to open and read quietly on their own.

Those youths need proper islamic education and adhab (etiquette). Everything doesn't have to be furious approach. So Mr. martinlooter, there isnt nothing wrong placing Quran in hotel. These youths just lost the opportunity to have non-muslims pick up the Quran and read it. As for the first comment, let's just say you are being prejudice. A section of muslims in the region acted in a silly manner is equal to all muslims?. Use your brain. You are part of the problems.

spyder880:
More from Onitsha.

I don't remember how you take this Ariel pic anymore

Oh, was wondering who he was. Now I know cuz i watched his lectures before.

ShaheedBinAliyu:
The name of prophets, ALLAH's name (s) , histories told.. Everything is ibadah.. We must not alter it. .

keep wasting ur time over irrelevancy

ShaheedBinAliyu:
Bro.. It's not about language.. Read the post again

you are wasting your time on this. If it is not about language, why are you condemning the use of "Olohun"?

Sura Rum 22

"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know."



All these languages have their word for Creator so whats the big deal?

The sheikh doesn't speak language other than Arabic. Hence, it is easy for him to say what he said. There is nothing wrong calling allah by Olohun. You are Yoruba man. Yoruba is word for Creator.

Don't start telling people not to say "olohun"

What's the problem here?.

How about non-Arabic speaking people?.

There is no doubt that Allah is proper Name of the Creator,

But there is nothing wrong to call Him by local Names known to the people,

For as long as The Names mean Creator of Heavens and earth.

There is absolutely noting wrong for Yoruba speaking folks invoking allah by Olohun.

Olohun is nothing but Creator of The WHole Universe.


Allah said in Surah Isra 110


Yusuf Ali

Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."


Mohsin Khan

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Invoke Allah or invoke the Most Beneficent (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names. And offer your Salat (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between.


Sahih International

Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.



Sura 7:180


Mohsin Khan


And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be required for what they used to do.


So these Shuyukh you mentioned are Arabic speaking. It is easy for them to say this if indeed the fatwa attributed to them was fact.

lol

means "Se customers wa" or do you make sales?. Problem you guys have is ede (the use of language)

cescky:
Because their trying to show the world another picture...their laeader is very paranoid and the money meant for keeping people alive and well, he's building weapons of mass destruction...that will wipe your nation out with one button ....so be very concerned

That being said ...if the world knew how bad the living conditions of people are the can collectively agree to invade the place

Omo ale nija nie. Warmonger. you must be one of those judeo/christian terrorists

tintingz:
You're joker, so white man will enter the sky and shook the world with a thunderous voice?

Okay

no, your are. I'm simply saying that's your possible answer if that was to happen.

The benefits you are enjoying for making lots of blameworthy speeches is bcuz of prophet Muhammad. Allah has said in the Quran that for as long as he is in our midst Allah will not punish us. That's why many get away here on Earth but they can never get away with it in the grave.

But other prophets would invoke God's wrath on their people. So enjoy it while it last. Bani Israel said they wanted to see God face to face but Allah dazed them with thunder. In 20th century Nigeria, a man that made similar statement in Yoruba land was 'Jabaru' a famous Islamic preacher. Allah silenced him until he died. So keep it up

tintingz:
I'm talking about a thunderous voice sounding from the sky, and if we all brush it aside, at least we all certain believe a God exist and we won't be arguing about this right now.

You would still end up saying white man entered the sky and shout from there.

You are incredible and boring at the same time. Just wait for asrail and everything will be crystal clear.

tintingz:
What about using science? Anybody can write down fictions and said it's true or do you believe Obatala created the world with chicken, corn and sand, if No, then how do you expect me to believe in the Quran and hadiths, what difference do they make?

if he existed at all, he was just the way christians coined jesus as the son of God

Evidence please, i don't see any angels when I wake up,

wait until asrail appears. You will get to see hoe Angels look like.

how do you know God and his angels are active when we sleep, what if fairies are the guidance, you believe?

Yourself is the testimony of their activities.

If God is truly active, natural disasters shouldn't be killing innocent children and those who worship him, but he's more concern about writing his name on a tree or giving a baby Quran from the womb.

People killed by natural disaster are shuhada.

Who is going to brush aside an Almighty God showing up in the sky with thunderous voice, who will do that?

you have watched many American horror movies while growing up isnt?. I am sure now horror movies no longer scare you anymore. If Gd had made His appearance known, you would have brushed him aside like "oh well, he is just one if those horror tings i watched in tv

If God is really loving, caring and wants to save Humans from entering hell, he should show up for everyone to believe in him and so that we can all enter Paradise or better still make everything non existing.

you perfectly sound like bani Israel. They said worst than the same thing in the time of Musa and Isa (AS).

tintingz:
The only ways to understand your God is from the Quran and Hadiths.

But you dnt believe Qur'an and sunnah, hence, the reason for logical discussion. And then you said this

tintingz:
Anybody can write down this fiction, it doesn't prove anything.

This is why i abrely quote bcuz i knew you would dismiss it outright. But then, i used logical deduction and illustrations, you still got it wrong. (below)

tintingz:
Is the bolded illustrating Allah?

* Allah goes through series of thinking to get to communicate with his creation? If yes, does God think? If yes, he must be channeling information from somewhere?

* Why does an Almighty God come down to human level(limiting himself) to communicate with us? Hope you know what almighty mean.

Are you saying God doesn't understand his creation?

Your illustration is pointing out more flaws about God.

I'm yet to watch the video tho.

I feel sorry for you though. If you can not understand my illustration, and dismissed Quran and sunnah, obviously nothing else to talk about. Illustrations i gave about kids have nothing to do with God. I think you are messed up.

tintingz:
The thing is the Quran and ancient book with many outdated moral practice, we can read how Allah was very active in ancient middle east but fail to be active in mordern age where we now have technology like cameras.

whatever active means to you?. If He is not active, how come you wake up this morning and use computer?. You think you did that on your own?. Throughout the night you slept, you think God isn't active?. He stationed His angels to watch over you. You woke up sound and healthy and now saying He isnt active?

tintingz:
If God is truly almighty, he should show up and make people believe he's real and not hiding in a book.

Bani Israel said this before. It is not new. Be careful bro. Michael Savage, a judeo/christian, American radio talk show host, a very strong anti-islam would even disagree with you. The last time i listened to him he said "it makes sense that we don't see God. It makes sense that God makes Himself hidden from us bcus He knows that if He is readily visible to us, once we see Him, we just brush Him aside like He is one of those guys, nothing special."

Just like movie, once you watched it, it loses it values.

tintingz:
What make you think Allah exist and other God and Goddess don't exist, evidence please and not a failed assumption of some humans behavior except you agree Gods have human personalities including Allah?

If you can not understand your fellow human (me), how are you gonna understand God?. Read btw the lines. Drop that ego and remove the clog. It is as clear as daylight man.



^^^^^^^

Here,
Apart from reading Allah behaving like archaic humans in the Quran, is there any other way to understand Allah? Is he bound to our moral codes?

The way God communicates with us may not be the way he communicates with Angels, Jinns and other creations. I have answered this twice already. Refer to the above. I will give you one last illustrations. Imagine your newborn who is just few months old, cries cries cries and cries. Most likely you want to give her milk as everyone would assume but she turns it down. She actually wants something else that you dont understand. She keeps crying and you trying to figure out what she wants. You have to go through series of thinking to figure her out. Bottomline is, her cry is actually communication at her level. That's the best she can do but you understand not.


Another example is, two kids play together but they can't speak fluently yet other than scream and gesture. They play together and laugh. They make series of sounds like "jejejejehehehehejajajajaahahaha" and then start laughing. You are wondering why are they laughing?. Guess what, that sounds and noise they make is actually their form of communication at that particular stage but you understand not. They perfectly understood themselves. And you notice that if you mimic them, they start laughing at you which means they most likely understand you than you understand them, and you definitely do not understand the mimic. Example is this 2mins video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY


Now, let's take a look at Holy Prophet Muhammad (Allah's Blessings be upon him). He was reported to have said that revelation did come in the form of ringing of a bell. Thats a form of communication. Do you understand this language of "ringing of a bird"?. The nature of revelation was such that it caused angels to faint. The sound would be like the pulling of a heavy chain over Mount Safa. Angels would ask Jibreel what Allah (SWT) had said, and he would reply ‘haqq’ (Abu Dawud). Angels could not handle the Revelation, so imagine the weight upon the heart of the Prophet (SAW). Revelation would shatter a mountain. The Prophet said the Revelation was like the ringing of a bell and then he would remember what Jibreel (AS) had brought to him from Allah (SWT). Sometimes he (SAW) would lose consciousness and sweat on a cold day. https://divinespeechblog./2014/08/03/the-story-of-jibreel-as/

So God communicates with us in the Qur'an the way we can understand.

So which dimension, universe, galaxies are the jinns are,

Ask them

Have you communicate with jinns before?

No and i am not interested. You may ask sissie. I heard she did

Fact is, you need to make tawbah (return to Faith) before it is too late.

CaptainJeffry:
At this moment, D Freeze and I are no longer on the same page.

I don't wanna incur the wrath of God for supporting blasphemy.

He didnt blaspheme. He simply spoke the truth.

I am sure Naija Yahoo Pastors will never attend this kind of summit

You are just repeating yourself

tintingz:
Your God is a personal god because he has characteristics of humans, I wonder why Allah is even refer has "He".

In the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions, God is described as being a personal creator, speaking in the first person and showing emotion such as anger and pride, and sometimes appearing in anthropomorphic shape. In the Pentateuch, for example, God talks with and instructs his prophets and is conceived as possessing volition, emotions (such as anger, grief and happiness), intention, and other attributes characteristic of a human person.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_god

A father still has human personality and bound to it, so humans possessing some God attributes shows he's human-like.

# Why is that an Almighty God can't do things without showing emotions like humans, e.g jealousy (do not worship other gods), anger (destroying unbelievers), why can't God just command humans with authority(just like be and it be), but we see his limited powers with threats on people, depending on humans to speak for him, giving laws like that of humans moral codes and please don't come with freewill ish because It is flawed.

This already answered your concerns. Take it or leave it

Empiree:
You have a very serious problem.

Allah communicates in the language we understand. Let's take for instance those who communicate with jinns, Angels and other supernatural beings and send them on errands, these spirit communicate in any language locally. This means, if you send a jinn to America or english speaking regions, he speaks in the language of the region. If you send him to India, he speaks their language. If you send him to Igboland, he speaks igbo. When he returns to you, he speaks your language which is Yoruba. But if you send him to these places if ony yoruba he understands, then there will be no effective communications. Which means, there is no way he can effectively delivers your message. I have told you before that there is always parable for everything.

So whenever Allah wants to communicate, He does so at the level of the intended recipients.


It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah’s permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise. (Quran 42:51)


Another verse says:

And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Q14:4


So the so called anthropomorphism you keep talking about is non existence unless you believe those human attributes are actually of God. If i want to change the dimensions this discussion in a way that you won't understand His Majesty, i can do that as well. Example, it takes 25,000 years to travel from one Galaxy to another, and we have 100 billion galaxies. All these Galaxies are far away from kursi of Allah, and kursi is even no where near Allah contrary to your saying that Allah sits on a chair. So this is just a tip. Does this God sounds human to you?

# Empi.ree, so over billions of galaxies, the tiny earth is what Allah is more concern of, he's very concern about how tiny humans lives?, let me ask this question, when Allah was giving moral laws, did he give laws because it's right thing to do or he just give laws the way he feels?

You are incredible. The same way Allah is operational and concerned about planet earth, He is also operational in many other places and things He created. Just because you don't get to see other worlds doesn't mean they don't exist or Allah is only concerned about our planet. Examples are Jinns and Angels who live on another dimension of space and time, and Allah is very well active there as well. You need to communicate with Jinns. This is why Quran says:


Alhamdulillah Robi lialamin {All Praise and Thanks Due to Allah the Lord of the worlds and all that exist}
