Islam › Re: Why Call Yourself “salafi”? by Empiree: 12:36pm On Nov 26, 2015

[size=2pt]Salam! On this note, The Quranist however follows the 5 pillars of Islam but they pray 3 times a day, reason being that only 3 salawat was mentioned by name in the glorious Quran, what happened to "obey Allah and HIS Messenger"? And also they are verses that says the Quran was revealed and explained to Muhammad, i ask again, how are we going to know these explanations if not by following his traditions? if explanation was given to Muhammad(s.a.w) then who are the Quranists that believe they can understand the Quran all by themselves, they are many orders given to muslims by Allah through Muhammad(s.a.w) which was not included in the Quran just to test the true followers of Muhammad(s.a.w), a perfect example is the issue of kibla facing Al-Aqsa that later turned to Al-Haram, that of Al-Haram is in the Quran, but Al-Aqsa isnt, which both was attributed to Allah in the Quran. #say_no_to_secteranism[/size]
That's Quranist problem unfortunately. Most of them dont even call themselves muslims

do u attend asalatus ( Sunday asalatu all white e. G. )? Cos i get what point the bro is trying to make
the last time I attended was 2001 in lagos. I have not been able to attend bcus I'm not in any of the environment its conducted. Besides, I'm a private person. I do dhikr singly in my privacy but I do not condemn group dhikr. It's beneficial. If some people are doing it for show off or introduced something silly- that has nothing to do with its essence.

What point are you talking about he's trying to raise?

One of my muslim friend traveled throughout the Middle East; he shared with me with sadness how dark skinned Africans were treated negative in Mecca , Saudi Arabia during Hajj. Today Islam has become more Arabism than Islam, but most Africans Muslims want to overlook the Arab racism in Islam. In Islam you will always find the dark skinned Africans people subservient to the Arab light skinned ruling class.
What you said does have some elements of truth. However, is that any special or anything new about it?. We can say the same of Christianity. [size=15pt]Have you ever had Black Pope?.[/size] Has there ever been Black preference over White or White Christians treated equally with Black Africans?. In America (a Christian country) even though there is "separation of church and state", there exist (in 21st century) racism. You can not deny it. The reason emphasis is not placed on Christianity is simply bcus of separation of religion from normal way of life. This however does not change the fact that America is a christian country.

Are you not aware of recent killings of Black Americans at alarming rate?. Can you compare that with Black in Saudi, they aren't being killed like that. Nothing in the headlines to suggest that. So I emphatically say that treatment of Black Arabs in Saudi is still fair than in America. All you have to do to proof this is go to US and talk to real field niggas. Let them tell you how they feel. Just last week, a famous weatherman made headlines in New York for being turned down by a cab driver to pick up White customer next to him. Why are you pretending?.

This nonsense you bring up. George Bush a terrorist because he captured sadaam hussein? Who the very day he was captured, people danced on the streets of raqqa, Mosul,and you say he's a terrorist. Stop attributing self made blames to others. Very soon you would say Christians are raping your women.

By the way, where is your Allah, when these terrorists chant his name, and after chanting his name, when justice comes they run into hiding? If really Allah sent them, why is he silent with them when time for justice comes? He should have come down to protect them since he sent them!

You have misguided views my friend.

na'am
The problem is can you avoid being drawn towards particular "sect" I.e having more affinity for it practices
My eldest brother saw me reading a shi'I book and became furious asking me not to believe whatever they say,,THaT I SHOULD JUST BE A MUSLIM

The next day he bought me a book which speaks against the shias and advices us to be MUSLIMS..suprising enough it is clearly written on the book "BASED ON ThE ALQEDA OF THE SALAFS"

Salaam
Frankly, there are some sects that involve in some silly practices. These practices are non-obligatory. Some of these practices are inappropriate as well but not all. Each sect has extremists amongst them that deviate from the essence. Therefore, you can always shun them and stick to basics.

Now, here is a question for you; have you seen any muslim sect (s) that have denied 5 pillars?. I have never seen one. So if you go to any masjid and they pray according to sharia and the sunnah, all rakat for each salah as stipulated in the sunnah without addition or subtraction , then you have no reason not to pray behind the imam.

And yes, you can easily disregard sectarianism by focusing on practices that are universally accepted in the quran and sunnah. But if you join a sect, you will naturally have soft spot for the sect. Best thing is to avoid them. You can always learn from any sect. Take advantage of their good teachings and ignore blame worthy practices.

The brother that gave you a book clearly have soft spot the for sect he professed obviously.
Islam › Re: Why Call Yourself “salafi”? by Empiree: 10:56pm On Nov 23, 2015
I think many muslims misunderstood the hadith on sect. The hadith never advocates sectarianism at all. Whoever interprets like that is just being literal.

The hadith is a mere prophecy. As a matter of fact, a warning to caution ourselves from slipping into sectarianism. But if anyone interprets the hadith literally to mean an order for sectarianism, that would be in conflict with sura imran ayah 103.

Yes, the prophesy is evidently manifested today but it should never be promoted.

why are you ranting always?. You cant even discuss reasonably without saying gibberish about Islam. Anyways, I think your brain needs replacement. Take this test see if it functions properly. Your brain is probably old enough to malfunction.

Christianity Etc › Re: A Man Sentenced To Death For Renouncing Islam In Saudi Arabia by Empiree:
dorox:
I would really like to hear what a nairaland muslim thinks about this blatant display of medieval barbarity in the name of Islam by the Saudi judiciary.
Awaiting a reply from Abu.Khair, ma.djnr, Emp.iree and company.
The headlines is misleading. Reading the content, it shows that his punishment is not based solely for renouncing his faith. Al-Baqara 256 says "no compulsion in religion". He's free to renounce his faith and by Quran standard, there isnt punishment for that. However, there is punishment for treason. In every country of the world, treason attracts capital punishment. For instance, if one renounces Islam and then, while remain in the same environment, he/she creates hostile situation like cursing God and His prophet or make false allegation against Islam, the authority does have the right to punish such a person.

In this article, it shows clearly that he's not being punished for merely renouncing Islam. The article says:


"Fayadh’s conviction appears to be based on evidence from a witness for the prosecution who said he heard the poet cursing God, Islam’s Prophet Mohammad and Saudi Arabia, and on the contents of a poetry book he wrote in 2008, according to Reuters. Fayadh’s supporters say, however, the government is punishing him for publishing a video that shows the religious police, known as the mutaween, publicly lashing a man in the city of Abha, southeastern Saudi Arabia."

At underlined may be in violation of the State. Punishment for such crime may vary from Muslim country to another. Saudi's verdict must be respected. This case is not about being punished for renuncing faith. If you live in Germany, you may face heavy punishment if you say something unpleasant about holocaust. Same thing if you live in the US, the "land of the free" and then you say something on the internet about Mr. president, I swear, fbi or secret service will be at your door. Depending on gravity of your statement, you may be going to jail for a very long time. Take case of Edward Snowden for example, his action warrants death penalty upon conviction. So please respect Saudi's verdict. The guy is not punished for just renouncing Islam. Besides, aren't non Muslims in the Arabian peninsula?. Headline is just propaganda. Hope this answer your concern.

Calm down my sister, I know all these can be very annoying but u've got to calm down.
It's not easy trying to reason with pple blinded by hate, stereotypes and falsehood. They brought questions from their usual hearsays and falsehood wc were duly refuted but they wld never accept rather they'll resort to insults.
Personally I only answer some pple I deem a bit reasonable when I av time, but most times it's always a waste of time, cos in the face of facts they'll still continue their delusions
May Allah bless us. Rather ignore them, it isn't easy bt better so one doesn't sin against God while answering some morons.

^ The narration above doesn't prove anything. I have read it before. First all, this narration could not be chained to the prophet(SAW). It's merely a companion's opinion.

Second, the last part of the narration where prophet (SAW) said people would read Quran but wont go down their throat - really doesn't correlate with doing dhikr. There are other narrations in hadith that are in support of group dhikr. It's definitely not bi'dah unless they make it compulsorily part of the deen.

AlBaqir:
Jabata is absolutely not BH. But by default he's also being influenced by "Kill-kill fatwa" of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Abdulwahab. And no doubt the guy is being financed abroad. He has declared everybody including his late father (a Sufi) as Kufar/Ahlu bid'ah, and Only himself and his followers are Muslims. And he specifically mentioned his father will lead his followers into Jahanam just like Prophet's parents (nauthubillah). And truly, as said by the man, he declared Imam Shafi'i, Abu Hanifah and Malik as Kufar. Only Ahmad ibn Hanbal (the spiritual leader of the Salafi movement) is a true Faqih and Imam. There is a guy of his genre, Ustax Sarumi, that one don finish am. Honestly you just need to listen to him to know the kind of person he is.
He definitely gone too far @ bolded. I dont like associating with folks who only see themselves as the only true believers. What nonsense!

@underlined, the man didnt say he's. He only gave historical background of bh. I will download some of his lectures just for listening sake. I am sure he has something good as well.
