annunaki2:Start gasping on this fella ![]() Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germans have failed to grasp how Muslim immigration has transformed their country and will have to come to terms with more mosques than churches throughout the countryside, according to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily. “Our country is going to carry on changing, and integration is also a task for the society taking up the task of dealing with immigrants,” Ms. Merkel told the daily newspaper. “For years we’ve been deceiving ourselves about this. Mosques, for example, are going to be a more prominent part of our cities than they were before.” Germany, with a population of 4-5 million Muslims, has been divided in recent weeks by a debate over remarks by the Bundesbank’s Thilo Sarrazin, who argued Turkish and Arab immigrants were failing to integrate and were swamping Germany with a higher birth rate. The Chancellor’s remarks represent the first official acknowledgement that Germany, like other European countries, is destined to become a stronghold of Islam. She has admitted that the country will soon become a stronghold. In France, 30% of children age 20 years and below are Muslims. The ratio in Paris and Marseille has soared to 45%. In southern France, there are more mosques than churches. The situation within the United Kingdom is not much different. In the last 30 years, the Muslim population there has climbed from 82,000 to 2.5 million. Presently, there are over 1000 mosques throughout Great Britain – – many of which were converted from churches. In Belgium, 50% of the newborns are Muslims and reportedly its Islamic population hovers around 25%. A similar statistic holds true for The Netherlands. It’s the same story in Russia where one in five inhabitants is a Muslim. Muammar Gaddafi once stated that “There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without sword, without gun, without conquest. We don’t need terrorists; we don’t need homicide bombers. The 50 plus million Muslims (in Europe) will turn it into the Muslim Continent within a few decades.” The numbers support him. http://spinzon.com/muslim-immigration-has-transformed-their-countr/ |
tintingz:You should rather ask which of the Bible today was revealed to Jesus and i will gladly tell you none of them was. |
tintingz:That's clearly you view not the view of ENTIRE muslims. so Uthman sent for Quran with Hafsah(which ever version it was), appointed some folks to rewrite the Quran and burn other copies(am yet to know what this copies are).YOu keep saying "version". It is OBVIOUS you appear to have your ulterior motives. What is being discussed here is "Mushaf" What is Mushaf?. The Islamic term al-Qur'ān means 'the Recitation', denoting its content. When referring to the physical bound volume, some use the term mushaf. ... The literal meaning of mus'haf is "The manuscript bound between two boards". Again, no question of "version" here. Thse different "mushaf" exist today but Quran is standardized with one whihc is Qurayshi. Quran's challenge stands, produce those "other versions" of Quran and let's see. |
tintingz:With respect to burning copies, Imam al-Bukhari narrates in his Sahih (6:183-184) from Anas ibn Malik (RA) that Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman came to `Uthman at the time the people of Sham were battling for the conquest of Armenia and Azerbaijan [~year 25H] with the people of Iraq. Their divergences in Qur'anic reading had alarmed Hudhayfa, so he said to `Uthman: "O Commander of the Believers! Rescue (adrik) this Umma before they differ over the Book the way the Jews and Christians differed." Whereupon `Uthman wrote to Hafsah: "Send us the folios (suhuf) so that we copy them then we shall return them to you." Hafsa then sent them to `Uthman who ordered Zayd ibn Thabit, `Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, Sa`id ibn al-`As, and `Abd Allah ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham who copied those folios into the volumes (masahif). `Uthman said to the group - the three Qurayshis: "If you find yourselves differing, [the three of] you and Zayd ibn Thabit in anything of the Qur'an, write it in the tongue of the Quraysh. For it was not revealed but in their tongue." They did [as instructed] and when they finished copying the folios into the volumes, `Uthman returned the folios to Hafsa, sent one mushaf to each region from those they had copied, then ordered that all other [copies] of the Qur'an in each and every folio or volume be burnt. So clearly, their is no question of version here. You simply made up your own. It is rather dealing with dialects |
tintingz:Sorry, the so called "al furqan" is not Quran revealed to nabi(SAW). It is a complete different content. The evil book "the true furqan" was written in the way of the bible and it will never be acceptable by those whose heart are immersed in Iman. Imagine the book was in existence since 1999 but in 2017 it is not even recognized. Version ko fashion ni ![]() |
tintingz:I keeo telling you that translation(tafsir) and interpretation(tawil) are not versions of Quran. Quran is in Arabic. So Yusuf Ali, Musin Khan, Pickthall etc are translations of the meaning. For example Yusuf Ali In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful MUhammad Pickthall In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Sahih International In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful These translations are CHOICES used by translators. They are not versions of Quran But original arabic Quran reads Bismillah Rahman Rahim That arabic ^ is the same in ALL Quran worldwide. So bring me evidence otherwise if any. As for interpretation, Quran itself speaks about methodology in sura Imran. It says some verses are PLAIN and CLEAR which many of us can understand. The other verses are tobe interpreted by well grounded and firm believers. They are called "MUTASHABIAT" i:e not entirely clear. These verse need tawil (interpretation). Doesnt mean it a version of Quran. For instance in sura 41:30, Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised. You see where it says "saying" in parenthesis?, some people understand the verse and place in bracket "at the time of death". Some say both at the time of death and in haqiqa. These are interpretations. They are not versions. So in order to substantiate your point, you will have to bring evidence that there other versions of Arabic Quran. You can't provide "evidence" in the absence of evidence itself. Thats not acceptable. As for why Sayyidina Uthman burnt other dialects if nabi(SA) did nt have problem with it, thisis simply part of wisdom Allah bestowed on him. It is part of protecting Quran which Allah promised in sura Hijr 9. Those different dialects exist today as I pointed out to you earlier. |
AlBaqir:I like to see reference for this please # Second, what do you think is the essence or purpose of creation? Some will quickly say to serve God, and immediately cite the popular verse, " We have not created Jinn and Man but to serve Him". Is that really it when the next verse that follows says Allah did not need our worship. Purpose of creation is perfection and if you reflect clearly, Salat, Sawm, Zakat, Hajj etc are established to refine and purify the animalistic side of us. If Salat does not have effect in our life, am afraid....Allah knows that we all can not maintain Ihsan. We are different. We are weak. Barely in today's world we can find a muslim to pray like sahabt. Sayyidina Umar and Ali come to mind. Today, the moment we make takbiratul ihram, we start thinking baout what need to to do next after salat, we start thinking about money we make or want to make, food, children and the list goes on. The reward is there as you said but of different level. That's not my point. My point is obligatory duty is fulfiled by offering the salat simply bcus it is FARD # Third, Allah is merciful and He is Just in his dealing. Saying praying in congregation attract more reward than being individual needs to be understood clearly, my friend.I understand. Some congregational are faster than federeal express but still obligatory duty is fulfiled when they offer it (in congregation or not). But we can't be sure if it accepted or not. Thats the reason we keep saying "olohun a gba o". But salawat on the prophet is no doubt according to ahadith. Fuqaha (all 4 schools) even said salat is not valid without salawat after atahiyat. That's how pretty salawat is. Just any tom, dick and harry congregation? Those babalawos can never be an Imam for congregation and you expect reward. Besides, in my little understanding of fiqh, even every individual of congregation has different reward depending on the state of his connection with his Lord. A follower at the back might have more reward than Imam.Again, saying babalawo is derogatory statement in order to castigate them. If i happen to visit his masjid in time of salat and he leads prayer, i will join the congregation. It is none of my business what he does so long as he prays the way it s established. # Fourth, somebody that drinks alcohol, adulterer, fornicators, visiting soothsayers or te yanrìn etc and his a regular prayer. Obviously Salat does not have any vital impact on his life. In my opinion, he will surely be rewarded with his effort of praying or fasting but definitely not like he who has abandoned those things.Exactly,because they fulfilled Fard. That's my point. Bold, is there any known Sheikh who preaches "abandonment of salat" to his people?. I am not talking about mureed. Mureed do whatever they want. And i am not talking about few mins clip you sent me before because that's not evidence I think i know why you detest him. I remember watching his lecture a yr ago i think where he said "a je eyan ka to je eyan". I considered this mistake and slip of tongue and not to be used against him. He later stylishly corrected himself few minutes later in the same clip. So thats now evidence of him being babalawo. His recent lectures i watched show that he go against such things. He was simply advicing people from using "ewe ati egbo" for haram, human sacrifice or money rituals. He frown at these things. |
yetseyi:Very beautiful market built like Mall sytle but inside is not built that way. |
vannessa7:I think thats the one opposite King Palace (Oba Awujale). Am I right? |
AlBaqir:Yes, Quran clearly states that but many of us still do evil regardless. But that does not mean it is or it is not accepted. What you don't get is, a Muslim already fullfils obligation once he prays. Like a hadith says that salat of a man is not accepted for 40 days for seeing soothsayer. Does that means he shouldn't pray because hadith denies him of the reward?. No. If he doesn't pray because he's deprived of the rewards for seeing soothsayer, that's effrontery. But if the person prays anyways regardless, Allah may give him back the rewards for fulfilling his duty. I never read or heard of any known Muslim shuyuk preached abandoning salat but I have heard some people do. I am not aware of any known figure said that. |
AlBaqir:I was wondering what it is too. Will asked the lady that sent it to me |
And concerning him being a "confirmed babalawo", I don't know what criteria you used to arrive at this conclusion. The only thing I can point out is where you talked about his omo kewu might involved in dubious business like harvesting human flesh. That's haram obviously. I listened to his lecture about this just last week and he condemned this type of things but he's not against using Allah's creations (leafs, roots ) as means of livelihood. This is why I find it hard to really reconcile what you said about him with what I heard him say. Now, in Yoruba land, we tend to assume that whoever uses Ewe atI Egbo is a babalawo. This is very wrong concept. Ewe ati egbo are Allah's creations for believers and non believers. The ONLY clause is how they are used and what it they are used for. That's the only difference between us and them. There is absolutely nothing wrong using these things. They aren't created for fun. They are there for our use including sacrificing animals. Again the only difference is a Muslim sacrifices animal only according to sharia not by strangling, cutting off the throat with teeth or mentioning other than Allah's Name. These activities (of animal sacrifice ) are embedded in the Quran. For instance, some Muslims today condemned the practice or idea of making dua and sacrificing animals. It is rather their limited understanding of Quran. In sura Kawsar ayah two, Allah talks about making dua and making sacrifice. So there is nothing wrong doing this. This is what I was trying to say in "Jinn Stories" thread few years ago but I didn't think about references much. If they are babalawo for using ewe ati egbo, what do we call a medical doctor and scientists who formed these capsules and tablets everyone use in modern day. Some of these sufi practices are okay for as long as they are within the boundaries of Sharia. It is not sharia to kill human and use him for money ritual, this is haram and kufr. And whatever dua, ewe, egbo and sacrifices we make must be submitted to Allah. And I said before, Quran is very rich in meaning and you understood this. Not everything nabi (s) and his sahaba didn't do is bidah or haram. Shirk is clear. As for occult, Quran itself enjoined having groups that command khayr and forbid munkar. There is nothing wrong in groups. I hate to use "occult" or cult as some translations of quran do sometimes. So there is nothing wrong if shuyuk are together upon all that is good and by helping one another. I want to believe that you are being sentimental for saying his omo kewu publicly involved in dubious means and he his aware and support them. I would argue otherwise. Matter of fact, I read on naijagists website last week that one of his boys duped someone for millions of dollars. I'm yet to read his statements about this. I can only judge him by what i heard from his lectures on YouTube which are in many occasions in conflict with what you said here. |
From everything you have be been saying about him @albaqir, I don't know if you have personal beef with him or not. So I can't really take your words as sahih. I will take them as daef for now. I know he's controversial man and very articulate. He says things that are out of this world that I dont think he should say. Some of them are right but the matn are wrong. For instance where he said solatih fathi is greater than obligatory salat, from few mins video you sent me before, I had to interpret his statement properly to understand him. It is common knowledge that praying in congregation is more rewarding than alone. It is said that if you offer your salat alone you get one reward. We learned this growing up, isn't?. And whether or not we pray in congregation we can not guarantee if it is accepted or not until we reach Hereafter. But what is guaranteed is if you send salams on the nabi (s), it is guaranteed that is accepted with multiple rewards. This is confirmed in sahih ahadith. This is where sufi emphasized on solat ala nabiy but this doesn't mean it is greater than obligatory salat. Five daily prayers are simply FARD whether the reward is big or not. So I believe this is what Sheikh Onikijipa was saying but he didn't phrase it properly. Again, it is guaranteed that one salam on the prophet (s) attracts times10 of the reward. So how about making multiple salams ala nabi?. See much reward you harvest and this is guaranteed as recorded. But doing this alone does not guarantee Janna without fulfilling obligatory tenets. This is what I can deduce from him for saying salati fathi is more rewarding than obligatory salat. I have heard him say that you can't get close to Allah through nawafil and abandoning obligatory salat. You enter into Allah's camp through fard followed by naflat. That's what he said |
AlBaqir:Lol....is that where he got "al-miskin billah" from? |
Trouble De For That Country Faah. All Types Of Crazy News Everyday! BREAKING!!! :-XBAD NEWS.Please don't you dear fail to share this if you have a heart. Keep on sharing till we save our dear ounce. Black soot has affected southern part of the country, and people are dying by the day. It will be evil of me, if I fail to share what happened at Oyigbo in Rivers state, where family of six are struggling with their lives as you're reading this. Please, Please and Please! For now, don't dear buy yellow garri (garri with oil). Once this garri is colored, you can't tell which is affected according to Dr. Deji Afolabi. Black soot has affected the soil, and its effect is more deadly in cassava than what you can imagine. When the garri is not white and smooth enough, don't dear it for any cost I beg you! If we were able to fight Ebola, together we can do this. And please, pray for Tamuno James , Uniport 300 level student who is in between life and death just because of garri. Share to not less than ten people in your contact list if you have an atom of humanity left in you :-XDO NOT EAT OR DRINK SOAK GARRI FOR NOW! PLEASE!! ![]() Please don't stop sharing till this message gets to your friends and family. Copied |
AlBaqir:Well, you may know him more. I have no idea of him beyond YouTube lectures and that's what i base my judgement on |
emekaRaj:Yes, it is usually kept secret bcus they dont understand. The only thing they know are Jinn and Malaika as we know them. They dont believe in anything else that neither Quran nor hadith explicitly mentioned. That's bcus they are theoretically reading Islam. I got this some place Khodam/Muwakils are extremely strong. But to some, a jinn is stronger, why is this ? Because a Jinn will do pretty much anything. It is like a human, it does good and bad, where a Muwakkil/Khodam will do NO bad, they are the guardians of the Holly Letters of the Quran and the 99 beautiful names of Allah Subhanawa Ta’ala See highlighted part, that's what i know about ruhaniyun that iw as telling them few years ago. They dont believe me If one is compare power to power, not what one is willing to do for another, A Muwakil/Khodam is unlimited time more powerful than any jinn. It has been known and proven that when A Dark Magician who has A Jinn King at his disposal, who allows the Dark Magician access to his army, thus causing the dark magician to be able to send tens and thousands of jnnns to its victim, BUT ONE Muwakil can kills hundreds if not thousands of Jinns within seconds. A Muwakil is something like a Jinn but made of light (Nur). But it has free will so it is not an angel (my opinion, if you don't like it, sorry, Angels only serve GOD). I have seen, yes seen one Muwakil kills 500 demonic entities under 25 seconds. The power that Muwakil has is “out of the ordinary” and what they can do is “awesome”, to say the least. Many black magicians will say, I’m not going to harm this or that person because they are familiar with someone in this person’s family has a Muwakil. To even bring a Khodam forward requires MINIMUM 40 days of rituals and fasting with "NO guarantee" and the riutal/Amal can only be done by one has full knowledge of the Quran, can read it with perfection and ease. Khodam/Muwakil is extremely pious entity. So in order to use such entities (it is not an easy task and such entities will not come 10 feet near you if you are not a very pious individual), one must not miss any of the 5 obligatory prayers, doing dzikirs throughout the day is a necessity, staying in the state of wudu (ablution) at almost all times is a must, eating nothing unlawful, watching nothing unlawful is something one must do. Only then when a person has reached a spiritual level so high and pure, he can ask for assistance from Muslim Jinns and even Khodams (ONLY if Allah wills). http://www.brotherrahman.net/difference-betweem-khodam-muwakil-and-djinn-jinn/ |
AbdelKabir:I didnt notice that at all. besides, i didnt take her serious bcus I simply see her as one of those women i used to talk about. In another minute you would see her talking nice and you would be surprise. Thats why i dont take women that serious when they speak |
emekaRaj:No, that's not their name. That's just terminology used for them bcus of people that do lots of shahada or lots of dhikr Anyway I see them often dat period but since the day they chose me as their leader, an I organized them, I haven't been seeing them.Better...you may just hear their voice(s) now I believe if you do zikr alot, they may come close to you, is just dat not everybody God gave the third eye to see them. But they may always be with u.Certainly, they are very close to zikr places. Thats what they are assigned. The "third eye" is what Quran termed "internal eye" that's, eye of the heart |
AlBaqir:But i have listened to his lecture where he speaks against joining occult. Bold seems to be assumption not certainty. |
Hkana, this is what you looking for ![]() |
emekaRaj:Subhanallah!....you are dealing with Alhu la ilaha ila Allahi. Brother, you great man. I believe you bcus i lived with someone like that. But what i dont understand is how you see them. In their true nature or in human form?. My sheikh told me it is not good idea to see them often. Seeing them constitutes shortening lifespan. I want to be believe that's what happened to sheikh sasili Sambo (ra) but it doesnt mean it is bad thing. They live by Allah's Command. You may eventually have one of them as agent if Allah wills but you gonna have to keep up with faith and taqwa. They will help with lots of things. Man, you are gifted. Now i am interested in your story. |
ikupakuti:SubhannAllah. You hit the nail on the head. Some people did not understand me when i narrated my experience about ruhaniyun 2yrs ago. You can search the thread created by tbaba titled "Jinn Stories" where i contributed. I told them that every araf, ayah etc of Quran have khadim that evolves from them. But they think islam is all about just reading texts. They kept saying they are jinn bcuz Allah only mentioned Angel, Jinn and mankind and nothing else. But then, i forgot to cite this ayah as evidence 41:30 Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised. In some translation, they put in parenthesis (at the time of death) to think that only at that time malaika descend. That's translator's opinion. That's not practical. Experience comes through practical which i lived with for 20yrs under my Sheikh back then. JazaKallah khairan for this |
AlBaqir:I am only going to address IFA stuff. A scientist sheikh, Fadilat Sheik Abdul Fatai Muhd Raji i once told you about who authored "Science In The Quran" once said something like this. I dont know how Sheikh Onikijipa said it but from what you just said seems to me he said what this sheikh said. That for Muhammad, Islam, Quran is mentioned in "oriki ifa" the same way we say nabi (S) is mentioned in the Bible. If i see the video of the sheikh I will post it. |
abunafiu:I know right. First all, I'm not in this field but it is good thing you encourage people to go through and learn themeselves. I will try to read as much as I can in my spare time. However I would need average cost of it. Are panels i need depend on size of my house?. I would probably need 4 to 5 panels. I may not be able to read everything in this thread but definitely I should have an idea what you do. I have preexisting idea from other threads from 3yrear ago actually. |
sathob:I need some guidelines to go about this please. THE COST |
AlBaqir:I would disagree with you actually. I don't think he is as much as you might portray him. Yes, he does seems to do some stuff but definitely not shirk. He backs it up from Quran itself without even going much in hadith. Quran is loaded. It is up to us to explore it. For instance those who insist on "STOP where Sahaba STOPPED" would have limited approach to Quran. Those who use scientific, spiritual and philosophical approach would have more to explore in Quran. I do not expect the sahabi to do many things we do today because the presence of Nabi(S) alone was sufficient for them. But Quran will continue to function till eternity. I really grasped his message actually even though he is somewhat controversial fellow. |

Subhan'allah! Sule? Sule? Sule is talking about Bid'ah when he himself is a Bid'ah.
