umarumuazu:
Asalam brothers and sisters men of little.faith keep yr little knowledge about Rasulullah SAW,while men of strong faith i believe u ,nafilats are not out of islam ,there good tins we do its call optional not compulsory .only weak people discourage people from doing extra nafilats to receive Allah's mercy.pls lets maintain peace.we need more extra tin
u de mind them. They are people who don't understand. They don't understand islam. And they undermined such ulama a lot. Better not to argue with them.

op, jzk. problem is when someone is now steadfast, and promises made by Allah are made easy like Angel assisting the person. It looks strange to many Muslims in our time.

They will condemn it. Some even go as far as saying he's consulting spirit.

So much to learn from Qur'an. It's about working hard. Practical approach to Qur'an. Not just reading. That's where the read deal is. Indeed, it's istiqamah.

Ummm, hadith of rosul is coming to pass. It's already in some places. He said (sallahu ta'ala alaiy wala alaiy wasalam) 'a man will maintain 50 women'.

In other word, maclatuniji will eventually end up with 50 women. God is Great!

My Greatest Need is You

Rabi'ah al Adawiyya

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You --
O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You--
How can I endure the next world
Without seeing Your face?
I am a stranger in Your country
And lonely among Your worshipers:
This is the substance of my complaint.


[size=5pt]Rabi'ah al-Adawiyya, a major spiritual influence in the classical Islamic world, is one of the central figures of the spiritual tradition. She was born around the year 717 C.E. in what is now Iraq.[/size]

Assalam alaykum, I did not mean we cannot do more nawafil, i was just saying that since we can do more in non obligatory acts, which tahajjud is part of, doing more cannot be classified as a bid'ah, so we cannot say 20 rakah of taraweeh is bid'ah technically.
walaykum salam okay. Now, you are understood.

Am sorry, you must be weak to recommend that thread for me. [s]Did i ask any Muslim to condemn Charlie Hebdo shooting? Did i complain that Muslims aren't condemning the shooting? I don't expect you to condemn something that is justified under your teachings. I am not a naive, ignorant westerner. The least you could have done is discuss those traditions(Hadith) posted above but you chose to find fault somewhere else.[/s]

Sometimes i just have to go with popular opinion to avoid backlash. When i first posted my opinion on sister's website, folks were asking 'what do mean?'.

Initially though, when this news of attacks first broke out, i thought of my subject of ilm akhir zaman. Recently, France voted YES for Palestinian statehood. Just less than a week ago, same French president, as revealed by RT, seems to appeal to West to "lift sanctions against Russia". Zionists dont like this.

They are damn good at orchestrating schemes. They have their boys and son of a gun to sacrifice. All these dramas on tv dont move me a bit. I strongly believe that attacks on cartoonist was a scheme to shut up France to back down from its claims. You may disagree with me though.

But Quran teaches us a lot and we really need to look into it. It speaks in 'pregnant' and plain forms about past, present and future events. I am not fooled by dust or smoke screen they put out there on tv.

Just pay a little attention to Hollande, see if he goes further on his mission to back Palestinian statehood or relieving Russia of it sanctions. Recent attacks in my opinion is to distract him and blame muslims as always. We are the scapegoats. The only people who dont understand are muslims. We are so dump...

Islam › Re: Charlie Hebdo; Beacon Of Free Speech Fired Reporter For 'anti-semitism.' by Empiree:
Op, I understand what you meant. It's indeed freedom of xpression in their own terms. Sincerely speaking, it was about mocking prophet and muslims whether they conceal that or not.

Fact is, it's still not appropriate to carry out such act. It hurts muslims more especially french muslims. Not only that. Mainstream media already talking about placing cops in mosques in ny like they used to do. I hope you know what that means. Survellance, phone and internet tapping will make come back. And i know how crazy that can be. I was once victim of that for good 4 yrs.

Also, it is avenue for someone like usermane to start runing his mouth. He thinks one way. This reminds me of a friend friend of mine currently sitting in jail over nazi-jewish rants. We'd thought he was xpressing himself. Alas! he was arrested and jailed for "hate crime". At least, if not for govt involvement he would have been hacked to death by 'holy' jewish guys.

No, prophet muhammad (Allah's blessing and peace upon him and his houseld) would not have ordered killing of Charlie Hebdo. Instead, dialogue would prevailed. Anyways, Tariq Ramadan pretty much summed it all. The printing of cartoon was about making money off stupid jokes. I wonder in what position he would meet Allah.

Lastly, both Cartoonist and his killers are dead and in the hands of their Lord. Taking any action against muslims would be unjust over what we have no control. I am sure though that charlie isnt going to meet his Lord comfortably in his grave. Thats just too bad.

Why would he do this in Rabi-Awwal?. One need insuitive understanding to figure out he did what he did intentionally. Sleeping dogs lying jejely, na him wake am up for no reason. My humble submmision. Peace

I respect Yobo's choice of candidate. However, Victor Ikpeba got my support on this one. I cant imagine common electricity is not stable since the so called omi nira. This is due to mismanagement, lack of discipline, trust and accountability.

Anyways, i really have nothing to do with Nigerian politics. I will only watch from my 3D. At least light should be fixed and stable and security. This will encourage nigerian-born abroad based, Nigerian-American etc to do business. Healthcare system really need to be properly insitutionalized and maintained so average folks dont have to keep begging for donations.

usermane:
I expected such a backlash.
I haven't discouraged the OP in anyway. I opined that one who is ready for Islam should have done his homework well enough to understand certain things without asking specifically. You cannot be ready for an exam, standing at the door of the exam center and yet you don't know if an eraser will be neccesary or not.

Your problem with me here is that i did not instantly goad him on as most Muslims do. Read my lips, Empiree; i do not care about followers or co-religionists, i care about substance. I don't treat religion as politics where the jackpot is to draw the largest crowd. That is why i rather implore people to search for the truth about their religion, inquiring and re-examining the mainstream narrative of it. I don't believe in one religion for all.
isn't what he's doing ?. it's obvious his heart inclines towards this deen. Hence, encouragement is all he needs.

slyfox5555:
The question should be - did CAIR have members who were convicted and persecuted of terrorism? Can you please answer that!
No. How do you describe 'member'?. Well, those people you mentioned earlier are not all charged. The one that seems to have link with cair is holy land foundation guy and we all know(except you) that it was cooked up charges and conviction.

So i really dont take that as you portrayed it. The other guy's charges was dropped and is living in ME. The rest just nonsense cases. So no, CAIR member were not charged. They are not "member" of CAIR. You just trying to play smart. CAIR video above exposed your crap.

Bros - did you ever see where I said CAIR acquired their funds using 'dubious' means? I suggested CAIR gets their funds no different than Hamas does - mainly through donations. CAIR however sues people alot and their are monetary settlement they get from such lawsuits.

I take God beg you, please don't put words in my mouth
CAIR is terrorist?. This video murders all nonsense you have been saying since you started your contributions on this thread. And dont forget to note Ibrahim Hooper's comment also. Ibrahim's comment is contrary to misinformation you gave here.

I weep for that country. It's sad reading stuff like this. This is why i seldom watch or listen to news and even Tv altogether. It's sickening.

Some people abroad miss home so much that they want to come but heading home is really questionable. At this point, i think we will be deceiving ourselves to think prayers solve Nigeria's problems.

A little story i was hinted last September was really heartbreaking concerning how govt waste money unnecessarily. Wealth is no longer circulated. Zakat is in cold storage. Anyway, a learned Muslim wont be surprised. We Muslims know where the whole thing is heading. Brace for worse. And not only in Nigeria.

So while Sino stood my his "don't do outside what is documented", he tried to use my submissions against my arguments.
I see

Yeah! There are some groups like that stem from this modern day Sufi-tariqa.
As for this, is what are clearly bid'ah that should be condemned not pettiness within shariah. Although i have not see anyone does this but clearly, it's against established sunna in the obligatory salat. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for this.

Also it's no excuse for others to condemn all sufi over this silly thing.I am sure their % are minimum.

What do you mean @bold Albqir?. Do you mean some people recite salat fatih in place of sura al-Fatiha at the beginning of 5 daily salat etc?I never saw anyone do that. Thats pure misguidance and bid'ah if there is.

NB: But we need to be extra careful as not all "innovations" can be condemned. Some are good. In fact I do not even see anything Nawafil as Bid'ah just because we don't see evidence that prophet did it unless for what is obvious like reciting salat fatih instead of sura al-Fatiha.
I dont quiet understand sino's intention by his statement which i tackled earlier. Is he saying nawafil is wrong and bid'ah?. I found this strange.

2. For someone who agrees that we can do more than what was prescribed by the Prophet (SAW), is the Tahajud of the Prophet (SAW) not a nawafil,

Comment on the above traditions by Shaykh Ibn Ata` Allah raDiy-Allahu-anhu:

"Lend a close ear, then - may Allah be gracious unto you - to what this tradition conveys about the abundance of the saint's power and eminence of the rank which the Truth (al-Haqq) has granted him.

The Prophet MHMD declared:
"Whosoever shows enmity to any of My friends, has declared war upon me."

For the friend of Allah has gone from disposing of his own affairs to relying upon Allah's disposal thereof; from defending himself to allowing Allah to defend him; from (trusting in his own) power and strength to (trusting in Allah's) by his sincere reliance on Allah.

As Allah- may His Majesty be exalted ! - declares, "for everyone who places his trust in Allah, He (alone) is enough." Sura 65-3 He likewise declares. "... for We had willed it upon ourselves to succor the believers." Sura 30-47 This (distinction) was theirs because they had made Allah their ultimate concern, as a result of which He drove back from them all that was other than He, fulfilling the obligation which He had set for Himself to come to their defense. KLM30/31


Note, I dislike the use of "saint". I'd stick to waliy, preferably
