Islam › Re: Eid-El Maulud, A Rallying Point Of Unity by GreenCovering:
The basis for which you rejected the observing of mawlud:

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Nonsense innovation.
Something the prophet didn't do.
Was wrong and was corrected by this hadith:

Al-Harith ibn ‘Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Mu’adh to Yemen and he said, “How will you judge?” Mu’adh said, “I will judge according to the Book of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Book of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, with the Sunnah of the messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, I will strive to form an opinion .” The Prophet said, “All praise is due to Allah, who has made suitable the messenger of the Messenger of Allah.”.

Your hadith quotations:

Tadeknkeepcalm:
“Whoever innovates into this matter of ours that which does not belong to it, it will be rejected.”
“Whoever performs a deed that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected.”
Were wrongly reworded in your above verdict as what The Prophet "did" or "did not" but the quotations show that the scope is wider than that by the phrase "our matters" which is detailed in the above hadith of Muaz bin Jabal. There we saw that it is not only about what The Prophet (PBUH) did or didn't do that count as acceptable in judicial matters.

Your attempt to support your claim with the understanding of the Sahaba (RA) did not come with any evidence to support your view.

When I see someone who can explain these flaws of the modern narratives flying around, I shall continue with him.

Thank you.

What was the point of your previously posted hadith? Was it not to show evidence that you can "form an opinion"?
Then I responded to you with an answer from the same Hadith that they were specifically talking about judicial matters. Hence the question, is the celebration of maolud a judicial matter you have come to settle? Is it a matter you have scoured the hadith and Qur'an about to make judgement upon?
If your answer to the question is "No", then refer back to the first hadith I posted about innovating into the religion. I hope you can see that there's no mix up here.

To your second paragraph, it was in response to your claim that "matter of ours" has a wide scope. Which I said otherwise. For example, does the matter of ours refer to the way we speak? The tools we use to make our daily lives easier? Does the hadith count flying a plane as an innovation? Or conversing over the internet as one? If your answer to this is also "No". How do we know this since it can have a "wide scope"? You see now that it does not have a subjective meaning but an objective one. And that is—innovation in the Deen

I hope you understand.
You came to give a verdict on a practice as nonsense innovation and that verdict could only have been possible if you considered the practice as a judicial matter which is the context under which you can give your verdict.

If you did not consider the practice as a judicial matter but rather to be outside the space of judicial matters, then you should not have made the comment. This way there is no need for you to ask me whether the hadith that I quoted is dealing on judicial matters or not. You are putting the cart before the horse by asking me if the hadith was on judicial matters or not because you have already given a verdict on the subject matter as nonsense innovation which set the context as speaking on a judicial matter.

So can you now own your verdict and tell me if you are giving a position based on placing the practice within the context of a judicial matter or outside of it?

Thought process matters, I hope you understand?

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Is the matter of innovating a "festival" a judicial matter?
There is something of a mix-up that is coming from your side based on this post of yours. You came to label a practice as a nonsense innovation and now you are asking me if it is a judicial matter? Why then did you come to label it as a nonsense innovation if you did not consider it a judicial matter?

Tadeknkeepcalm:
And "matter of ours doesn't have a wide scope if you understand it as the companions of the prophet and those who came after did.
How did the companions understand it? Did they understand it differently from the above given hadith?
Islam › Re: Eid-El Maulud, A Rallying Point Of Unity by GreenCovering: 11:17pm On Oct 19, 2021
Tadeknkeepcalm:
Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever innovates into this matter of ours that which does not belong to it, it will be rejected.”

In another narration, the Prophet said, “Whoever performs a deed that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected.”
So the phrase we are looking at is 'matter of ours' and not 'what I do': 'matter of ours' has a wider scope than 'what I do'.

The hadith of Muaz Bin Jabal to Yemen breaks this down:

Al-Harith ibn ‘Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Mu’adh to Yemen and he said, “How will you judge?” Mu’adh said, “I will judge according to the Book of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Book of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, with the Sunnah of the messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, I will strive to form an opinion.” The Prophet said, “All praise is due to Allah, who has made suitable the messenger of the Messenger of Allah.”

Yes. In matters of the religion. Yes.
And he said "What I did not do" is innovation In matters of the religion or you reworded it like that because what I am implying here is that rewording can project other meanings, right?

That is outright misinformation and incorrect!

Mecca was the last city to come under the rule of Islam during the time of The Prophet (PBUH), that is after Islam had already gone international, and here you are mentioning Saudi Arabia as a country. It is obvious, by this, that we can't expect Saudi Arabia to be the pioneer in everything about Islam.

Politics › Re: 3 Nigerians Who Are Not Yoruba But Currently Holding Political Offices In Lagos by GreenCovering: 8:13pm On Oct 17, 2021
UnabashedIPOB:
The Igbos outright hate the Yoruba and it is time Yorubas become very conscious of this hatred.

Truth be told the hatred is a two way street! Well, let me take it back, I would not call it hatred but rather an unhealthy rivalry. This rivalry stems from the British Colonial era policy of divide and rule which, they imbibed into the consciousness of the citizens to bring suspicion and mistrust so that they can continue to loot the country. But one thing that both tribes, Igbo and Yoruba, failed to appreciate is that there are more that bind us together than separate us. Both tribes pretty much share similar values as far as education, hard-work, entrepreneurship, innovation, sense of community, personal responsibility, self reliance and empowerment are concerned. So, only those that do not understand the dynamic at play would call it hatred. As Igbos, I am certain there are aspects of us that other tribes resent and so are the Yorubas as well. There are aspects of them that other tribes detest. The major problem is that we see our differences as things to use to drive a wedge between us and demonize each other. It should not be and that's the more reason we want the disintegration of the damned country!
Unhealthy rivalry indeed!

Divide Yorubas along religious lines and call one part Afonjas, albeit, using a Yoruba owned platform to galvanize that division (pains to drag NL along that line, but truth be told). And when it feels like idea is sold and bought, turn around to burn down their center of unity, Lagos, and ransack their Oba's house, and finally put the stamp of no man's land or waste land on them.

What a detailed analyses based on, of course, media projections but, as usual, devoid of contextual history.

Can't you see you're a hypocrite? Y'all go to Western countries and see the ladies dress this way but cool with it but you will start shouting at the top of your frog voice just because of irrelevant matter in Nigeria.

When last did you even have light in your area? When last have you used water from the government except the borehole you made? There are many things to say to your government but no, you will focus on irrelevant things.
In my opinion a larger percentage of white society are actually very decent, disciplined and very straight-forward. Exponents of these humanly degrading unclothedness are few ideologists among them. But give the average black man a phylosophy that feeds his desires, a large percentage go into indulgement and disorientation.

There are still many parts of the country where you can enjoy upwards of 18h/d electricity supply. Once you stay focused in what you do, you can still transform a whole lot of things for yourself slowly but steadily without all of these bitterness towards any government.

Politics › Re: Ahmed Nasreddin: NASCO Group Reply Terror Sponsor Allegation Against Late Owner by GreenCovering:
A company becomes successful because it is managed with talented employees irrespective of ethnicity and religion and these are regular people like you and me.

The most tasking job for any management is to stay competitive in the industry especially one that is as competitive as the FMCG where you have got several alternatives. The simple fact that Nasco have been able to remain relevant through the decades means that they have brilliant people over there and I am sure the names and the religious affiliations of its employees will reflect the company's openness to staying this competitive. Therefore, to present Nasco as a muslim company whose interest is to support terrorism is way too far fetched.

The history of wahhabism was deceitfully presented in that report to hide the main actors and how its ideologies had been used in the past to really hurt Islam (itself) by its western and capitalist backers and how it began to transmute into other violent forms were carefully concealed.

What is paining me is that the entire story is being told by half imho.

How the focus now is solely on Wahabism without making reference to the insidious hands of the capitalist West that used the ideology to bring down the Ottoman empire and foster ideologically discordant regional autonomies is the missing link that some readers may never understand.

Trying to use groups that have morphed into violent forms with an intent to indict all muslim leaders who have ever served the nation is even worse and may be reeking of another hidden agenda especially when the hands that manipulate the strings behind the scenes are deliberately being kept out of the narration.
