DOptical:Another emotional outburst without rationale thought. Did I imply that Jews are descendants of Ishmael though there is no denial of their shared ancestry to Abraham. Did Ishmael and his descendants arise in Isolation? Someone said whoever looks to the future without reflection at the past is really looking no where. Well it applies the colonialists have succeeded in making you and your like forget your ancestry which has bad effects on your present and inability to chart a prosperous future. Does the Bible categorically say Ishmael and his descendants will be terrorists? The term wild ass from Genesis 16:12 refers to the nomadic and independent lifestyle rather than an inherently violent nature. This reflects in the characteristics of Bedouin tribes who traditionally inhabit desert regions, suggesting freedom and resilience rather than terrorism. The ancient near eastern culture was characterized by tribal conflicts and warfare, which were common among many groups, not just those descended from Ishmael. Does your Bible not narrate conflicts of the Israelites within themselves and with other tribes? The Benjamin wars, Abimelech's tyranny, Hasmonean-Samaritan and Jewish-Samaritan conflicts to name a few What relationship does Nimrod bare with Oduduwa? Is Nimrod the same as Lamrudu? Where did you get this from? Perhaps when you have reliable facts to discuss you may bring otherwise don't quickly display your ignorance. Is Oodua not born of Lamrudu who was fathered by Kisra of Arabia? |
DOptical:Good that you can speak some truth in your last paragraph. However can you give plausible rationale why a second born twin becomes first unless you rather sit logic and rationale on their head. Is Jacob not born from Isaac's marriage? Is Isaac not a brother of Ishmael? Do they not share the same parent in Abraham? Please answer these questions. Present proof of Waraqa a cousin to the prophet's wife reading the bible to him else stop running by your whims and unjustified bias. Read your history to know the origin of the Yoruba tribe. The Yorubas are said to have sprung from Lamurudu one of the kings of Mecca whose offspring were Oduduwa, the ancestor of the Yorubas, the Kings of Gogobiri and of the Kukawa, two tribes in the Hausa country. The artistic styles introduced by Arab traders and travelers found their way into Yoruba art during Obalufon’s time. |
DOptical:Present proof that prophet Muhammad pbuh could read and write and running your uninformed thought on your type pad. The education you think you have has disillusioned you. Can I ask you if you know Mansa Musa of Mali? Do you have proof that he could read or write? Is he documented as one of the richest men of Africa? There are no specific historical records indicating that Muhammad pbuh personally wrote a ledger for Khadija, he more likely assisted in managing her affairs effectively due to his trustworthy nature. His role would have involved ensuring accurate accounts of transactions rather than formally documenting them in written ledgers. Pre-amalgamated Nigeria had many wealthy individuals who were often illiterate by colonial standards. It seems you don't know of Jewish Muslims who are prominent in Islamic history. Does Akobi not translate to mean first to be born? Kindly tell and convince me I am wrong. DOptical:The terracotta sculptures of Arabia significantly influenced the artistic development of the Yoruba civilization. I see your Omoluabi is that of Omo gutter that resorts to insult. Continue being uncivil |
DOptical:Does your Bible tell you that Jacob became the first born by resorting to deceit (lies) in order to steal the birthright of his older brother. Have you considered archaeological findings in Ife which reveal artifacts that bear resemblance to those found in ancient Arabian sites? A key pointer to your challenges and rejection of the truth. Tell me is this the origin of the end no matter how crooked justifies the means? |
DOptical:Thank you very much. I see you eliminate the fact that Jacob is a son on of Isaac. Is Isaac a brother to Ishmael? Unlike the biblical narratives, which are often linear and historical, the Quran employs a non-linear narrative style emphasizing moral lessons and spiritual guidance? The stylistic elements of the Quran showcase a literary richness indicative of original composition rather than derivative authorship. You are again caught in your lie as Muhammad pbuh could neither read nor write. He received the Quran verbally and by direct revelation to him and transmitted this in same manner. You ignorantly and boastfully make statements you know nothing about. Do you need spoon fed direction to where Allah created the darkness and the light? So much so you lied to mislead me that akobi is elder when it really means first to be born. Did you try to make any research about medical uses of Urea a primary component of urine. The language you address me in is localized to your tribe? I think very much not. |
DOptical:Interesting but defective argument. You obviously don't know Jewish and Arabic language are semitic languages. From where do you derive proof that prophet Muhammad pbuh copied; indeed you can present no plausible evidence of this and just follow ignorant vain talk. You do not know Allah created both darkness and light? You obviously don't know the continuity established in passing essentially similar message over time? Is the ancestor of Muhammad pbuh not Ishmael the brother of Isaac? Who came first between Jacob, Isaac and Ishmael? You repeatedly present this your 72 virgin talk but I doubt you have investigated the truth of that claim? Read up the medicinal value of urea |
DOptical:Interesting that you refer making the second born of the twins the elder. Rationally and logically akobi means the first to be born. What is the meaning of agba or agbalagba? It seems you rather resort to a lie in defense of your opinion. How can the child born later become the first? Does Omoluabi thrive on falsehood? I get the folktale that the second twin sends the first to check out the world but tell me if the first born prevents the second from being born after completing gestation? |
DOptical:Well good for you that have a monotheist that begets in Yoruba religion with Christianity. Judaism like Islam doesn't believe in a practically begeting supreme being. I see you go on with the usual slanderous claims about Islam. What this has to do with the existence or non existence of a true God should be answered by you. The hadith mentioning the reward of 72 virgins for the martyr in paradise is a commonly cited but weak or fabricated hadith that lacks authenticity. This specific narration is not found in the authentic collections of hadith such as Sahih al-Bukhari or Sahih Muslim, which are considered the most reliable sources of hadith. Modern day definition describes Aisha's marriage as paedophilia but ignore other marriages of people close to her age as not? This is obvious bias and a reflection of the general dislike of the truth by a number of people since the beginning of time. Glad that despite the claims of paedophilia relations there is no single report of ailment resulting to Aisha as a result. Does this not question the veracity of the claim? I should however congratulate you for quickly revealing your true nature and not pretending for long in your contribution. Glad that you accept there is a supreme God. What you make or interpret as the supreme is indeed a point of difference. Sadly you don't know anything about the likely Arabian origin of the Yoruba tribe. The Arabian Influence on African Cultures: A Case Study of the Yoruba Tribe A straight question though; is the Eledumare report a myth or reality? |
DOptical:What I am primarily trying to say is there is a general agreement of a supreme being though there are differences in how the supreme is understood. Allah transcends physical and spiritual limitations; he created both. |
DOptical: DOptical:Basically the names Allah, El, Elohim, Adonai, Jehovah and probably Eledumare represent the monotheistic conception of God in various religious traditions. Regardless of linguistic and cultural differences, these terms share core attributes. Indeed some have variations in their concept of a monotheist God as some expand this monotheism into parts |
Kingsempires:Perhaps they argue that Jesus never referred to God by that name. They however forget that the name Jehovah is a Latinized version of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), which represents the Hebrew name for God. Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. In these languages, He would have referred to God using terms like Elohim, Adonai, or simply as Father. Jehovah itself was not used until around 1100 AD, long after the time of Jesus. |
SIRTee15:Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) existence in the 7th century is informed by various non-Islamic texts and anthropological evidence. Historical accounts from Byzantine and Persian sources, such as the writings of Theophilus of Edessa and John of Damascus, reference Muhammad and the rise of Islam, even though predominantly in negation of his message provide an external perspective on his life and influence. These texts illustrate that Muhammad was recognized as a significant figure during his time, often depicted in relation to the socio-political upheavals occurring in Arabia. Archaeological findings too have unearthed inscriptions and artifacts that align with Islamic traditions while also corroborate historical timelines. SIRTee15:Interesting yard stick of comparison. Can you tell how many decades after Jesus were the accepted gospel canon written? These were how many decades after Jesus? Which one of them did Jesus physically witness? SIRTee15:The concept of worshipping the shin of Allah does not align with Islamic teachings. In Islam, worship is directed solely to Allah in his entirety, not to any specific part or attribute. However, the mention of "the shin of Allah" appears in a metaphorical context in Islamic texts and requires interpretation. The shin of Allah mentioned and other similar descriptions are metaphors. The "shin" represents something beyond human comprehension that indicates Allah's presence or an event on the Day of Judgment. These descriptions are not meant to be taken literally but rather point to a deeper, allegorical meaning. Islamic emphasizes that Allah is unlike anything in creation, as stated in the Quran: "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing." (Quran 42:11). Thus, physical descriptions are seen as figurative language to convey concepts in a manner that humans can understand. |
Kingsempires:I am impressed by your apparent curiosity. In 1958, the first known group conversion to Islam among the Igbo occurred in Enohia in Abakiliki Division, southeastern Nigeria. Okpani Nwagui, a Roman Catholic Christian who a year earlier had converted to Islam, mediated this conversion. He assumed the name Ibrahim Niasse Nwagui. https://punchng.com/why-we-profess-islam-despite-discrimination-in-seast-igbo-muslims/ https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/486318-inside-the-world-of-igbo-muslims-in-nigerias-south-east-region.html?tztc=1 |
MaxInDHouse:You sound like without a loud call to salat the prayer is invalid. If the few Muslims call themselves individually within their localty is it wrong? How exactly does the call to prayer translate to being on the right path? It seems you just want to put up a response |
MaxInDHouse:It's wrong to think all African ancestors were idolaters. There were indeed ancient Africans who worshipped God amidst idolators. These individuals or groups often faced challenges due to cultural pressures but managed to maintain their faith through various means such as oral traditions, rituals focused on their understanding of God, and community support. |
TenQ:Thank you for confirming the folly where direct or analoguos definition fail to explain trinity. Where did you guys get it from? How did it become a fundamental tenet of Christianity? |
TenQ:Sadly you don't even comprehend who questions you. But since you make the mistake in your statement do satisfactorily explain the Trinity with and without analogy that cannot be faulted? |
I am surprised you all don't see the diversions due to an absence of a clear explanation of the trinity with or without analogy. |
@Antichristian I ponder what you gain by apparently always questioning the christians anout their faith? Is this the best way you can worship Allah that you have time to engage those who feign blindness, deafness and reasoning to reject the truth? In any case using analogies to explain the concept of the Trinity has proven to be a futile endeavor. Exodus 15:11 states Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? Isaiah 40:18 asks rhetorically, To whom will you compare God? What image will you compare him to? It often appears that Christians ignore the theological implications of these verses which suggest that God cannot be confined to human understanding or categories. Sadly they don't understand what is said in John emphasising that God must be worshipped in sincerity. Allah's omnipotence (Al-Qadir) refers to Allah being all-powerful. He has absolute and unlimited power over all things. He is capable of doing anything that is in line with His will. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.(Quran 2:20) Allah's omnipresence (Al-Hadir) refers to Allah's presence everywhere, though not in a physical sense. His presence is not confined to any specific location. Instead, Allah’s knowledge, awareness, and authority encompass the entire universe. This concept assures Muslims that they are never alone, as Allah is always with them, aware of their actions and thoughts. "And He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing." (Quran 57:4) Allah's Omniscience ; Al-‘Alim, Allah is all-knowing, possessing complete and perfect knowledge of everything, past, present, and future. His knowledge is not limited by time or space. Allah knows what is hidden and what is apparent, what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen. He is aware of the innermost thoughts and secrets of every individual. "And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it." (Quran 6:59) These attributes highlight Allah’s supreme and absolute nature in Islamic belief, portraying Him as the ultimate authority and sustainer of all existence. |
MrPRevailer:Sorry for your thinking. Allah does not define the Trinity in explicit terms within the Quran, but rather critiques its implications through various verses aimed at maintaining monotheistic principles. |
Jaycobbs:Best be cautious |

As you all are won't to do after explaining the meaning of Quran 19:71-72 in its context you bring another poorly thought out one. Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow what is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner." (Qur'an 46:9) In this verse, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is emphasizing his role as a messenger of Allah and clarifying that he is not unique among the messengers; previous prophets who spoke about monotheism . He humbly states that he does not have knowledge of the unseen or what will happen in the future to himself or to others. Instead, he follows and conveys only what is revealed to him by Allah. |
Posted on the wrong thread in error previously It is well established that these discussion are ignorant sinful jests. Not withstanding let the verses be appropriately understood. In Surah Maryam from verses 68-72, Allah mentions the fate of different groups of people on the Day of Judgment. Here is the explanation of these verses: But by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees Then We will surely extract from every sect/group those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence. Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein. And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. (Everybody will pass through judgement; some swiftly and others not swiftly hence the hadith about walking over the bridge over hell) Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees. This is absolutely perfect justice unlike the fairy tale most people like to believe. The justice and fairness of Allah at the end is absolute hence the various degrees of enjoyment in paradise and various degrees of punishment in hell. Do you think all that are righteous are righteous to the same degree? Though all of paradise is incomparable pleasure as is the reverse in hell |

Ohyoudidnt:Indeed it is tiresome discussing with these folk especially those that claim an awareness beyond religion. You are very much correct as prayer is a powerful tool for expressing our grievances and frustrations to a higher power. When we turn to prayer as a complaint, we are acknowledging our feelings of discontent and seeking comfort and resolution from the divine. Most Christians view Jesus's crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. More so Hebrew 7:27 reads unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. Yet Jesus said in Matthew 26:39...... Father, if it’s possible, let this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ be taken away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine. Did Jesus not know this was how it will play out? Did the script authors feel they can turn on and off his willingness without care? In any case the OP is simply asking if Jesus Wanted To Be Crucified, And Why? It seems this will be in obedience to God the father who is also Jesus as said by their majority. |
Expanse2020:Come to think of it; can we compare this to the sacrifice of Abraham though not as a means to salvation of his first son as he had pledged? I have not come across Abraham's initial planned first child sacrifice complaining. Is there a case of Abraham's child being more submissive than the Biblical Jesus? Is it that Abraham and his first child had a less human side than the allegedly divine and human Jesus? |
Kukutente23:Of course not. Excuse the typo Explore2xmore:Zayd headed the committee constituted to collate and reviewed with them and others. Do not shift the discuss. You have been presented with facts that Najran existed at the time, there were Christians there and Prophet Mohammed pbuh invited them to Islam and effecting mutually respectful grounds which includes letters and actual meetings at least they came to meet with him |
Kukutente23:Do you outrightly lie that these people didn't exist? Ali ibn Abi Talib was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and was the fourth Rashidun caliph who ruled from 656 to 661. I now know your primary nature. |
Praxis758:The roots of the Arab people go back much further than late biblical references. They are descended from Eber through Joktan, one of Eber’s sons. From Joktan’s descendants eventually came the nomadic Arabs who later inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. This genealogical connection is acknowledged by Islamic historians themselves, who refer to the Arabs as “beni Qatan,” meaning “sons of Joktan. Ishmael, another son of Abraham through his wife Hagar, also played a significant role in the origin of the Arab people. Ishmael went on to father a lineage of desert people who joined with those already existing in the Arabian Peninsula to form what would later be known as Arabs. Iraqis are Arabs. They are a diverse population with various ethnic groups, including Iraqi Arabs, Iraqi Kurds, Iraqi Turkmen, Yazidis, Assyrians, Mandaeans, Armenians, and Marsh Arabs. The majority of Iraqis are Iraqi Arabs, making them the largest ethnic group in the country. Studies on the genetics of the Iraqi people indicate that there are no significant differences in Y-DNA variation among Iraqi Mesopotamian Arabs, Assyrians, or Kurds. Modern genetic research suggests that Iraqi Arabs and Kurds are distantly related but that Iraqi Mesopotamian Arabs are more genetically similar to Iraqi-Assyrians than they are to Iraqi Kurds.

Kukutente23:Though I understand you are merely making a response. Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, Abdullah ibn Sa’d,Zayd ibn Thabit and Ali ibn Abi Talib are amongst the scribes. The last but is very prominent in the compilation of the Mushaf (the written for of the recitation known as Quran) |
