Do you know that the Ghanian currency was redimated and four zero were eliminated in 2007 and they made it. 1 cedi= 1 dollar and N1=120 cedi , if you had 10000 cedis in your account it became 1 cedi and if you have 1000000 cedi it became 100 cedi

In less than ten year now is 4 cedis= $1 it has lost value by 400%.

The cedi is even useless than the naira as in 2007 naira was N120=$1 now it only lost
value by 250% as the current rate of dollar to naira to dollar at interbank is N315

So this your post should also make Ghanian cry and. Furthermore Reno is lying 1 cedi is 79 naira which means 5 cedis is 395

MrDavidson:
Terrorists thrive on propaganda, and unfortunately Salkida, has been an easy conduit for BH to churn out their lies. Even when the NA claimed they'd killed Shekau, and provided an incontrovertible evidence in pix, BH told him otherwise and he was busy broadcasting "Shekau is alive and well".
He ought to be arrested to serve as deterrence to other self claimed "investigative journalists " who go about sourcing for lies from terrorists groups just to earn name and prestige.

Why do we like living in denial I have met several people from Maiduguri that know Shekau personally, and they all said. The person parading himself is the real Shekau and even his voice is the same as they knew him before 2009 BH resurgence.

It is very obvious Salkida has some classified information as the most relied journalist by the BH so instead of all this gra gra by the army they should use him to get the way forward of of this BH mess .

I believe the DSS will just interrogate him as they to the other they declared wanted along with him and let him go

If eid el kabir is 12 of September then our ramadan of 30 days was wrong the sultan should apologize to Nigerians

Remember we started the ramadan on June 7th, now since eid del kabir is Sept 12 that mean between 1st ramadan and eidel kabir there are 97 days.

Ramadan 30 days, Shawwal 29 days, Dhul qidda 29 days and the 10 days of Dhul Hijja i.e 30+29+29+10=98, So instead of having the 97.

From the above you can see that if Ramadan was 29 days as done in some countries it would have been 29+29+29+10=97,

Clearly the Saudi authorities have realized there mistake and corrected it with Arafat,

Our sultan refused to agree with clearly sighted moon here in Nigeria, (remember even Niger republic and other nation did 29 days) and decided to follow Saudi a country we are not on the same time zone to do a 30 days ramadan

OP please tell me how many northerners are there in federal university otueke, or even Muslims sef?


You are so bias that you said a former registrar of ABU, a premier university as not qualified to be on the council of a glorified secondary school christened federal university just because he is from Katsina.

The biggest problem you people have is that you always underrate the northern Muslim thinking he has nothing to offer even when glaringly qualified. That is they they will always surprise you because they have the numbers and if politics remains the game of numbers then they will determine it's leadership for long time.

@Emmaachile @HAH I'm pretty sure y'all will come running back to 4922 once an autoroll patch is released!

honestly if strong 4922 has an autoroll I will have no business with alphabox, but as long as I have to look for keys every two days then alphabox is better than it

ben1daEbiri:
You and I know strong have the best UI around,don't argue it.Then most importantly,their TUNERS cannot be compared to any other...in turn,alphabox have the worst tuners ever known,Gsky doesn't even have a better tuner than strong!I think you sell this stuffs,you know the truth,I mean no harm to your business!

EMMAACHILE:
You've not stated any advantage. Good UI for strong?

I love my alphabox x4 principally because in these days of powervu, I don't give myself headache with looking for keys it is just plug and play I don't even know when keys get changed unless I see people with strong 4922 looking for keys on this thread, this to me is an advantage that passes other that strong may have above it unless strong too will start an autoroll decoder

Wa antum fa jazakaallaah khaira, you see the underlined? Its wrong, it should be, "what is the correct ruling for Congregational du'a"

Well as for the answer, here is a detailed fatwa https://islamqa.info/en/93757

Thank you very much my brother but please what is your take on this

http://www.tafseer-raheemi.com/congregational-dua-after-salaah-bidah/


Question
Is congregational dua after salaah or whenever bida’h?

Answer
Congregational Dua after salah is not bida’h. Bida’h means to innovate in the aspects of the sharee’ah and to add that which has no basis in Islam. The majority of the scholars say that congregational dua after salah was not the practice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Let us discuss why this practice is so prevalent in our societies today and why it is emphasised so much by our Ulama and our elders of today.

Firstly, we need to understand one concept of congregational dua, and that is, that if one has the firm belief that this specific type of practice is in any way sunnat, wajib, or fardh, and if one makes an objection if it is not carried out after every salah, or, he deplores those who do not take part in this practice, is totally bida’h and sinful. The highest category which we can give this practice may be mustahab.

The following discussion can be found in full detail in fath-ul-bari, the commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, from pages 150-153 volume 12 (cairo print) under the baab,  بَاب الدُّعَاءِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ (page 397 of the Indian print).

1 – The first proof of evidence of the Hanafi School of fiqh comes from the qur’an, surah qaaf (26th para, page 721), where Almighty Allah says, “وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ”. Some of the commentators of the Qur’an, on the commentary of this ayat, have said that this ayat is referring to congregational dua after salah.

2 – Secondly, Imam Abu Daud and Imam Nasai have narrated from Hazrat Mua’z Ibn Jabal radhiyallahu anhu that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to him,

يَا مُعَاذ إِنِّي واللہ لَأُحِبّك ، فَلَا تَدَع دُبُر كُلّ صَلَاة أَنْ تَقُول : اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرك وَشُكْرك وَحُسْن عِبَادَتك
Imam Ibn Hibaan and Imam Hakim have classified this hadith as authentic.

3 – Imam Tirmizi has narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah radhiyallahu anhu that  the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was asked,

أَيّ الدُّعَاء أَسْمَع ؟ قَالَ : جَوْف اللَّيْل الْأَخِير وَدُبُر الصَّلَوَات الْمَكْتُوبَات قِيلَ يَا رَسُول اللہ
4 – Imam Hakim, Imam Nasai, Imam Tirmizi and Imam Ahmad have said that the following hadith is authentic, narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakarah,

حَدِيث أَبِي بَكْرَة فِي قَوْل ” اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذ بِك مِنْ الْكُفْر وَالْفَقْر وَعَذَاب الْقَبْر ، كَانَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللہ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ دُبُر كُلّ صَلَاة ” أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَصَحَّحَهُ الْحَاكِم ۔
There are many more proofs from the ahadith, which prove that dua after salah is a practice of the Holy Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) himself, but I have omitted them to prevent prolonging the answer.

Hazrat Shaikh Yunus Sahib (of India, Saharanpoor, and the great Khalifah of the late Hazrat Shaikh Zakariya rahmatullahi alaiyah), has said that the majority of the evidence points towards the dua after salah.

Note:

Regarding congregational dua after salah, one needs to and must understand that the majority of the people are immersed and are busy in their work and everyday life. They hardly find time to perform their obligatory prayers let alone find time to practice upon the mustahabaat such as dua. We see daily that many of the musallees get up straightaway after fardh salah and leave the masjid. One of the reasons that so much emphasis is given to this practise is that the general public offer inadequate excuses of “not having the time” to do things, and, among them, is dua.  Therefore, in reality, this is the one chance where everybody has the opportunity to turn to his lord in supplication and to repent five times daily.

The reason dua is carried out as a congregation is to help each other give strength, due to the weakness of our Imaan and the lack of sincerity and contemplation that we have, to the duas that are made. Through congregational dua, it is hoped inshaAllah that our duas will be accepted in the court of Allah. In this way even if there is only one beloved servant of Allah who is pious and sincere in his dua then Allah’s rahmat will decend upon all who are present, and, if he accepts this persons dua then Allah is not a miser as to accept a single persons dua from an entire congregation and reject the rest!!

lexiconkabir:
if you mean in group, saying dhikr in one voice and in unison, then this is bid'ah, but if you mean the normal dhikr where Miuhammad(pbuh) asked us to do istighfar 3x, Allaahuma anta salaam wa minka salaam tabarakta ya dhal jalaal wal ikram and so on, note that this is not done in one voice and in unison, rather individually, you are also permitted to do it loudly, as we see in this hadeeth;

Ibn 'Abbas told me, "In the lifetime of the Prophet it was the custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the compulsory congregational prayers." Ibn 'Abbas further said, "When I heard the Dhikr, I would learn that the compulsory congregational prayer had ended." [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 12, Number 802]

here is an explanation on this hadeeth by shaykh ibn huthaymeen and shaykh ibn baz may Allaah have mercy on both of them,

shaykh ibn uthaymeen said:

[b]The Sunnah is to say it aloud, as the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to say it aloud. Ibn 'Abbas (radiallaahu 'anhumma) said: They used to raise their voices when making dhikr after finishing the prayer in the time of the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam).

And if all of the people raise their voices, they will not disturb each other. But they will disturb each other if some of them say it aloud and others say it quietly. There is no doubt that it will disturb the one who says it quietly, but if he were to raise his voice like them, there would be no disturbance. As for those who are making up what they missed, they have brought it upon themselves; if they had wished, they could have come early and it would not have disturbed them.

And as I said, if all of the voices were mixed together, there would be no disturbance, even for those who are making up their prayers, just as you see now on Fridays; the people all recite the Noble Qur`an and they raise their voices but, in spite of this, the worshipper comes and prays and he does not experience any disturbance.[/b]

shaykh ibn baz also said;

[b]It has been authentically reported in the Sahihain (Two Sahihs) on the authority of Ibn 'Abbaas (radiallaahu 'anhumma) that in the time of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), it was the practice to raise the voice when making dhikr after the obligatory prayers; he said: I used to know if they had finished (praying) when I heard it.

This authentic hadith and others which carry the same meaning, such as the Hadith of Ibn az-Zubair, Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah and others all prove the lawfulness of raising the voice when making dhikr after the people have finished the obligatory prayers, so that the people at the door of the mosque or those near to it will know that the prayer is over.

But whoever finds people praying what they have missed of the obligatory prayer near to him, it is better for him to lower his voice a little so that he does not disturb them, according to other evidences. And in raising the voice when making dhikr after the obligatory prayers, there are many benefits, including demonstrating the [saying] of Allaah's praises for the blessing He has conferred on them through their performance of this great obligatory prayer, and it teaches the ignorant and reminds those who forget; and if it were not for this, the Sunnah would remain unknown to many people. And Allaah is the Granter of success.[/b]

WAllaahu 'Alam

Jazakallah hairan but my brother what is your person opinion on congregational dua, is it good or bad, what I mean is making dua together after salat for either his mercies or for some worldly gain?

It baffles me too that this very good idea that will reduce some pressure on the Naira has not yet been implemented, I still believe the deal has been made but is being delayed by some bureaucratic bottleneck within the Nigerian civil service as usual..

The greatest bottleneck and hiccup in business in Nigeria is the civil service and their corruption most likely someone has been paid by geedy beneficiaries of dollar scarcity to delay the deal.

Another reason may be the slow nature of Buhari, though his intentions are very good to be frank he is very slow, the word hit the ground running is strange to Buhari, imagine how long it took him to appoint his cabinet and just imagine till today no replacement for James ocholi that died several months ago thereby short changing Kogi people.

Another reason may be from the Chinese it self, they may given it a second though and are frustrating it deliberately among reason they may do that is they realize they need dollars in their economy.

Another reason may be the Almighty USA may have threatened Nigeria not to go ahead with it, because going on with the deal means making the US dollars less attractive in Nigeria and the moment that succeeds in the Nigeria other african nations can follow suit, thereby making the dollar irrelevant, also there is a cold war between the west and the east(ie china and russia) so there may be an economy war being by the superpower and Nigeria is the battle ground.

Very good, clearly the hardship we are going through is making us think out of the box, this was how China becane a superpower.

Just imagine the value of dollar when we have self sufficiency in Rice,wheat, and Sugar then Dangote crude oil refinery starts operations, as the CBN said 75% of dollar demand are for petrol, rice, wheat and sugar.

I bet dollar will be atleast N100

Empiree:
They have tagged EVERYTHING bid'a (innovation) to discourage Muslims from practicing Islam. These people condemning everything are protestant. They are "protestant Islam"

I once met an elderly man in Maiduguri he said the moment they asked us to stop dua in congression calamity befell our state, he said just imagine this Boko Haram menace, he said is it not insane for a group of people under the threat of Boko Haram will pray together and everyone will just dust his clothe and leave without any group prayer for Allah to bring succor to us. He said those who are telling us not to duas are not but playing to the dictates of the yahud

Empiree:
It is Sign of the time. We have some people now claiming to know SUNNAH in this Last Age and they think those men of old were silly. You raised good point. How do we children back then know the dua if not THE GATHERINGS/ASSEMBLIES OF DHIKR?

You can see bcus of abandoning this practices is the reason we now have thugs everywhere. They have no knowledge of the deen but they scream "Qur'an and SUNNAH" everywhere. There are documented evidences of group dhikr. As you rightly said, even if prophet did not do it, it is common sense for us to do it. I learned many stuff and chapters of Quran through group dua.

They now claiming it is bid'a to gather and make du'a. This is fabrication. It is not just in the North or Nigeria. This is the way it is in the Western world too except few. Once Imam says "salaam alaikum". They all stand up and leave. They dont even make private dhikr either. This is fading the ESSENCE of islam. Bro, knowledge is going away. I am not surprised at all. Read this thread when you get the chance and follow if you want.

https://www.nairaland.com/3301071/muhammad-alee-jabata-not-among#48710714

They now campaigning against group du'a, group dhikr etc. How would children learn if not by that?. Group dhikr is SUNNAH. Those who condemn it are Alhu Bid'a pretending to be people of SUNNAH. What they dont understand is it is not befitting for the prophet(SAW) to do what we would do. They trying to compare themselves with the prophet. I thank God you spotted this madness. Because people dont do dhikr anymore, they have lots of time doing nothing. So shaytan took over. If they see any mosque doing group dhikr now, they tag it "alhu bid'a" (people of innovation)

Jazakallah hairan, personally I learned the ayatul khursi as a child because it was recited after every prayer, not in a school so I wonder how my child will learn it or even know that it should be recited after prayers.

Golden days of banking are gone, when I started working in a bank in 2001 bank were the most sought after job in Nigeria, my salary was 100k monthly then federal govt lvel 8 were paid 18k and NNPC new entry were paid 25k.

There was no much pressure as the target we had was a branch target and everyone works toward it together and the branch always surpassed it being in Abuja and public sector fund was everywhere.

Almost every year I got promoted and our salary also got reviewed annually, by 2005 I was SBO that year I bought my first house in Abuja for 9M I also got married that year to my lovely wife, I bought her a car immediately after our wedding.

In 2005 bank were asked to shore up their capital to 25billion naira, my bank easily got and a lot did not, there were about 90 banks in nigeria then but after the soludo consolidation only 20 survived, a lot of banker became unemployed and our bank took a lot of them we started branching out like crazy almost on every major street the bank became too big and the devil came in, individual target was introduced and that wasn't a big problem only one of the ministry I manage gave me my target to cut long story short , by 2009 I was a DM and made a branch manager at the age of 33 suddenly our MD was sacked and new MD was appointed by Sanusi the new CBN governorm

Depositors started becoming weary of our bank and we started losing deposit, this led to stagnation no promotion and our salaries were reduced too to reduce overhead of the bank, life became unbearable as the mention of MPR make me crazy, I became restless and developed hypertension at a tender age, my staff are also not happy due to the pressure because of the presure on us all but life went on, one day in 2012 I came to the office and found half of my branch crying that they could not log on to the system, I tried logging on and I logged on, those that couldn't log on were sacked I became depressed the next day I wrote my resignation letter and I submitted it in the HR, I cannot continue with this heartbreak.

I immediately went to my friends government for employment but how wrong was i, as all of gave me promises that did not materialized till today, after almost two years of job searching and living on rent I collect I decided to move on with my life I decided to be an entrepreneur, now I have poultry, I also do real estate, farming and I just finished building my bakery.

My greatest joy now am not under any pressure, I work at my own pace though I still don't earn what I use to earn in the bank as I pay myself a paltry 150k monthly but my joy is seeing those I employ and pay them to and everytime I think of what to do next as a business man, am now 40 and still have a whole life before me, my friends in the bank are still complaining anytime we meet those they were blaming me when I left the bank without any work in hand.

I have nothing but glory to God. And my prayers are with struggling young bankers to also find their feet in this struggling times
