Good info. But the Legendary Mr. Trumpcoat who happens to be a friend has been dead for over one year now. The family did not want it broadcasted then.
But Gbadexy is still here and have been supplying a lot of Nairalanders including myself.

My brother don't mind those Charlatans and mischief makers, they represent their evil self not the general Muslims. They are on their own!

Evil sect!

Actually this is old pix. I think someone is manipulating the whole thing. They put the same pictures up about a yr ago with text saying Buhari administration should not succeed. But now they put these same pictures up saying Buhari should not survive. So something is wrong. This is misinformation. Either way, it is haram to wish someone dead especially your fellow muslim. Another thing is, how is it possible to know exactly what they doing just by looking at the picture?.

They might be charlatans, yes, but it is obvious someone is playing with muslim mind. Search NL and you will see same pictures with different message.

This thread is dedicated to subject like this. I'd prefer here but you dont need to comment if you dont have to. You can always ask ur questions in general thread

Hkana:
Emp.iree, I saw your work on the soffeeyah thread and although I have questions I couldn't post them so as not to derail it.

I'd like to know what suffiyah is about plus tell me about karamat (of Al Hallaj and others)

For short, Sufism is the spiritual heart of islam. Sufi, the word itself is English language. Sufi also means tasawwuf. Tasawwuf is arabic word also means Islamic science of spirituality. So sufi/tasawwuf is same thing but none of these words mentioned in the Qur'an. What Quran and hadith used is Al-Ihsan. So by definition every muslim should be sufi. It is ignorant of some muslim to even ask "is sufi part of islam?". This is silly question. But unfortunately, some muslim only hold on to text and full stop. In sufism however, you hold on to text and practical aspect of it. Both can not be separated from each other. This is why sufis said Sahab are sufi i:e people of Islamic spirituality.

I am only talking about ESSENCE here. I am not talking about any sufi group or practices. Remember muslims were practising islam in Makkah before they migrated to Medina. If they were practising islam before migration, why would Sayyidina Jibril(as) appear to the prophet (ra) and his sahaba(ra) to teach them Islam again?. What he taught them in Medinah is deeper Islam (spiritual islam). People were already praying salat in Makkah. But in Medina they are taught to pray as though they seeing Allah meaning they should forget and stop thinking about the material things. Sufism is not about performing miracle and all that. That's not their goal. Goal is perfecting one's character. It is stages and gradually they reach their goal. Allah in His rahman could gift what He pleases ro whoever He pleases which is reality/karamat. But one needs to be steadfast (istiqama). To begin, it is about practising obligatory duties (salat, ramadan etc) followed by optional activities {nawafil).

Nawafil includes qiyam layla, tahajud, dua and dhikr etc. And by constantly chanting Allah's Names and His Attributes, you good to go. If Allah elevates your status, you do not abandon obligatory activities (tenets of Islam). Here comes karamat. Allah may bless any muslim with Karamat. Some get it as natural gift. Some inherited it and many work towards it (which is common one). Karamat are different.

I understand there are charlatans or fake sufi who are doing something completely off. There are verses of Quran and ahadith in support of sufism so i dont understand how a muslim would say sufism(tassawuf) is bida. They simply dont like it. You become enemy of what you dont like. I am sure you can read more on sufism

The video above titled "World of Spirituality" give unbiased lecture on the subject. Watch it at your pace. This is also 12 minutes video as well

So for someone to open a thread saying sufis hate seeking knowledge is nothing but falsehood. Imagine Nigerian Sufi like Sheik Adam Al-ilory (ra) built institution since 1950s at the age 34 or so and many people graduated from there, how could he open such institution without islamic knowledge?.

Hkana, i actually posted something to this effect in this thread on the last of page 10. Hope this help but i can also explain in my little way. Check it out

Thanks

Sir, you better leave this or you will keep digging holes for yourself. I was just shaking my head reading your comment. It is obvious you have no iota what you talking about. Quran being in order doesnt mean a story is compliled on one chapter. For instance, let's take a look at story of Musa(AS) that you called Moses. In Islam, Moses is loved and respected; he is both a Prophet and a Messenger. God mentions him more than 120 times, and his story ranges across several chapters. It is the longest and most detailed story of a prophet in the Quran and is discussed in elaborate detail. So how could you read one chapter of Quran about Moses and you think you already know everything about him?. We have what we called "system of meaning" in Islam. By this, it means reading entire topic you choose to know throughout Quran and also related ahadith before coming to conclusion. So your assumption is flawed. You are simply saying isolated verse of Quran is what it is without other related verse(s)complementing it. You just wrong over. Even christian apologists cant even say this which means you have your ulterior motives.

Significance of Order. The question of why a surah like Surat Al-`Alaq, which was revealed first not put first in the mushaf (a physical copy of the Qur'an), this will required scholars to search more in the Qur'an and explore some of its secrets. A deeper look into the whole matter shows us that the order of the Qur'an has a purpose and the revelation of the Qur'an also has a purpose.

For instance, the revelation of the Qur'an responding to specific problems or incidents carries the purpose of solving these problems or providing guidance in these incidents. During the first 13 years of Islam, the main task of the Prophet (saws) was to call people to Islam based on the Qur'anic revelations that focused on the Oneness of Allah and righteous conduct.

When Muslims migrated to Madinah and an Islamic community started to be well-established and new challenges emerged, the main focus of the revelation was to regulate the life of Muslims through detailing the rulings pertaining to different acts of worship and setting punishments for crimes and so on.

This shows that the revelation in each of the two stages has a purpose. When the revelation stage was completed, the whole Qur'an was there and the whole message was put in the order that was intended for it to stay till the Day of Judgment. So you are saying verses of Quran do not link to one another is practical joke. That's a school boy methodology buddy. Also different verses talk about story of Jesus. you cant just pick isolated verse and derive a meaning. That's lopsided methodology and MUST be rejected. That's why you conclude that supposed "violence verses" are valid. In fact, Billy Graham and Adeboye would not even say that.

plainbibletruth:
Ok. Let's look at things OBJECTIVELY. No harm intended.

The quran's 114 Suras (chapters) are not "perfectly arranged", the Suras are not in chronological or in any subject matter sequence. The arrangement is simply by size, with the larger size appearing first. As a result, there is no logical continuity or transition between chapters - and sometimes in the chapters there are no clear linkages.

In short, there is very little literary consistency in the quran.

The Bible on the other hand is quite the opposite. It is more orderly. Therefore if a portion is telling a story the best approach to understanding it is to look at the WHOLE PICTURE and not to pick at portions of that story randomly. After understanding the whole picture application of the message being brought out in the story becomes easier. That's how it's done.

So, whilst it is in order to pick a stand-alone verse in the quran and scrutinize it you cannot do the same for a portion in the Bible that has a flow and is more organised.

Therefore the quran’s HATE LANGUAGE and HOSTILITY to non-muslims which are not based on say parables or the sort, neither are they CLEARLY SAID TO BE time-specific cannot be understood differently from what they simply say.

Islam’s PROPAGANDA machinery today says the quran talks about PEACE with others and that it is accommodating toward non-muslims. The FACTS in the quran say a different thing. If the quran is to be held as superior to men's statements then those who say islam is a religion of PEACE are DECEIVING the rest of the world.


To IGNORE facts does change the facts.

Now to Bible, if i am "protestant christian", i am holding on to only 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament for a total of 66 books. Nothing else. If you are Catholic, you are holding on to 73 books recognized by Catholic. Obviously, protestants are missing. The missing links/verses are NOT recognized by catholic. There are many more and more like 81 books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon. The Tanakh (sometimes called the Hebrew Bible) contains 24 books divided into three parts: the five books of the Torah etc. That's why it is surprising to some christians when each other quote from their bibles and not find in one another's so called "holy books".

A catholic, protestant and all other confined themselves to what they have. So there is no way your verse can agree with each other. Haven't we discussed this before 2yrs ago when i trashed the Bibles over?. Not long ago a christian quoted bible and asked me to check it. In fact, the entire book he quoted from doesn't exist in my bible. So i wonder what you talking about. Yet all your books have one book pointing fingers at each other which is the book of "revelation"


Revelation 22:18-9 which states:

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."


Obviously this is the reason protestants for instance would not accept 7 additional books in Catholic's. I dont even have time to explain those ayat of Quran you quoted bcus i know you not ready to listen. Those verses have their historical contexts and we connect the dots.

You can see reason why science is progressing day by day, only God knows what will science discover or create in the future.

Islam NEVER impedes scientific research or scientific knowledge. FACT!

I read a report our body can be kept for years without getting old or dying, something like icing the body in a tube gas.

It is possible for science to even create clones of humans in the future.

This is believed in Hinduism. They believe there will be cloining of humans in the Last Age. This is true but the problem is, it is linked with shayateen. Some people's grandparents or great grandparents that have long died would appear to them, speak to them, but all these only meant to sway men. It is happening gradually. So there will be cloning. And just bcuz scientists are able to do this doesn't make it halal.

imagine scientists bringing back mammoth to this century according to the report in the link, mammoths that shrinked to elephants.

Thanks for the link.

Exactly. Expect human cloning soon. I already seen experiment on tv. You welcome

‘Adams’ before ADAM This theory supports that of Sheikh Muhammad Mustapha Al-Mubarak Ashile El-Ilero (ra)


Regarding the creation of Adam, the majority of ‘ulama believe that Adam and Eve were created in their complete form in Heaven. They were then sent to earth after partaking from the forbidden fruit. Their progeny populated the earth and thenceforth started the history of mankind.

What is not explained explicitly by Allah SWT in the Quran is how Adam is created. Was he created in stages or in just one process? A fraction of tafsir scholars are of the opinion that when Allah SWT created Adam, it was not until 40 years later that his ruh (spirit) was blown into him. In this is clear the influence of Ancient Persian tradition towards this tafsir.

Another fraction of ‘ulama are of the opinion that Adam was not the first man created to be on earth. In their opinion, hundreds and thousands of previous ‘Adam’s have existed before Adam our father. Each previous ‘Adam’ had their own progeny and life, were destroyed completely, and replaced by the following ‘Adam’, until the time came to Adam, our father. Adam our father is seen as being the last of the ‘Adam’s on this earth.

Then there are also ‘ulama who are of the opinion that Adam and Eve were not created in Heaven, but on earth, and from the earth.

(Refer al-Maqdisi: Al-Bad’ wa al-Tarikh and Ibn al-‘Arabi: al-Futuhat al-Makkiyyah)

albaqir, this supports the Sheikh's video i sent you on the other end


Ikhwan al-Safa too explained a bit more on this aspect. They state that all creatures were created from dry clay and inhabited the Equatorial regions, unaffected by weather extremes. This created a good environment for procreation. It is in this environment that Adam was created (takawwana). Ikhwan al-Safa are also of the opinion that Adam and Eve spent the first half of their life on earth (Rasaa’il Ikhwan al-Safa, chapter 181, pg 229. There is a possibility that this concept was taken from come Biblical concepts, where Heaven is termed the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived in purity).

http://saifulislam.com/2013/07/adams-before-adam/

With regard to what some commentators and historians say about a race called Hinn inhabiting the earth, then the jinn came and killed them and took their place, it seems that this is a story that cannot be attributed to any sound isnad (chain of narrators).

Ibn Kathir said in al-Bidayah wa’n-Nihayah:

Many scholars of tafseer say that the jinn were created before Adam (peace be upon him), and before them on Earth there were the hinn and the binn, then Allah caused the jinn to prevail over them, so they killed them and expelled them from the earth and inhabited it after them.

End quote.

Al-‘Allamah at-Tahir ibn ‘Ashoor said in at-Tahreer wa’t-Tanweer:

If it is true that the earth was inhabited before by a race of creatures called al-hinn wa’l-binn or, it was said, they were called at-tamm wa’r-ramm, this is a reference to something that never existed and is unknown. Perhaps these are among the myths of the Persians and Greeks propagated by the storytellers, because the Persians say that before mankind existed on earth, there was a race called at-tamm wa’r-ramm, and the Greeks believed that the earth was populated by creatures called Titans, and Zeus, the leader of their gods according to their beliefs, drove them from the earth because of their evildoing. End quote.

And Allah knows best.

https://islamqa.info/en/72470

# The second opinion is that there was no one on earth, jinn or otherwise, before Adam (peace be upon him).

at-Tabari narrated this view in his Tafseer from ‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd, who said:

Allah, may He be exalted, said to the angels: I want to create a creature on earth and make him a vicegerent (khaleefah) therein. On that day Allah had no creation except the angels, and there were no creatures on earth.

Al-‘Allamah at-Tahir ibn ‘Ashoor said in at-Tahreer wa’t-Tanweer:

After mentioning the creation of the earth then the heavens, Allah referred to His will, that He would create a vicegerent. This indicates that creating the vicegerent was the first thing done on earth after it was created. The vicegerent here is the one who takes control of another’s property and manages it, and the original owner does not necessarily have to have been in that place beforehand. So the vicegerent was Adam (peace be upon him), and his role as vicegerent was to do what Allah, may He be exalted, wanted of developing the earth on the basis of inspiration and revelation, and to teach his offspring Allah’s plan concerning this earthy realm. End quote.

Were there any people before Adam (peace be upon him) whose name was Jinn and others whose name was Hinn?

Praise be to Allah.There is nothing in the Qur’an or sunnah (prophetic teachings) to indicate that there were any people living on Earth before Adam (peace be upon him). Rather the reports that speak of this are the opinions of mufassireen (Quran commentators) among the sahabah (companions) and tabi‘een (successors). For example:


# The first opinion is that the earth was inhabited by the jinn, whom Allah, may He be exalted, created from fire. This opinion was narrated from most of the mufassireen. At-Tabari narrated in his Tafseer from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:

The first ones to dwell on earth were the jinn, and they caused mischief therein, shedding blood and killing one another.

It was narrated from ar-Rabee‘ ibn Anas that he said:

Allah created the angels on Wednesday, and He created the jinn on Thursday and He created Adam on Friday. Then some of the jinn disbelieved, and the angels used to come down to earth to fight them, and there was bloodshed and corruption on earth.

Delivered Without Prejudice

tintingz:
I read a lot of Prophet Muhammad (SA) children died.

This is off akhi. This is unrelated. This is test and trial for the prophet (SAW) and it has nothing to do with them being born through cousins marriage.

Cousin marriage is Halal base on Quran alone (in case you choose to disregard the hadith). In the verse below, Cousins marriage is exempted from forbidden marriages. That should have cleared the air.



Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. Q4:23



And I have said earlier that it is mustahab. It is individual and family matter. Some family are so close like myself where we dont even recognize "cousins". For this reason it is no no for me but it remains HALAL. The only thing to do before engaging in such is proper precaution. Both of them should visit medical professional beforehand. Just like Umar faruq (ra) advised a man to marry from outside his family bcus they are thin and sick.

As for "Olorun", it is not correct. It is Olohun {Creator and Owner of Everything}. While Olorun {Owner Of Heavens}. The later restricts Allah's Majesty auzubillah. It is mistake on the part of those who pronounce the later. Besides, Allah says in the Quran call Him by whatever name but to Him belongs the Best and Most beautiful names Q17:110
