This is a response thread to alBHAGDADI thread https://www.nairaland.com/4117606/how-answer-question-where-did

IT IS A COMMON BELIEF THAT MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT JESUS (PBUH) IS GOD AND THAT GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO BECOME A MAN.
In this Article,we will look in bible passages and see what they are saying…and whether christian claims are true or not !

Throughout the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus (pbuh) referred to himself as “son of man” (human being). He never possessed the knowledge, nor any Divine ability that of GOD. Jesus (pbuh) was never self-sufficient or all-knowledgeable and most importantly he prayed to GOD, so this is enough to say that he wasn’t God nor did God come down to earth to be Jesus.

The one thing Most Christians don’t understand about God is that His Divine Nature, Knowledge, Abilities, and Attributes are far more superior to the nature of His Creation. Many Christians will proudly say that GOD can become whatever He wants just to justify their way of thinking, but this ideology contradicts His Nature and Self proclaimed statement in Numbers 23:19 about how He is not a man, nor the “son of man”!

If GOD Himself says He is not the “son of man” while Jesus (pbuh) clearly claims to be the “son of man”, then this proves beyond a resonable doubt that they’re not the same diety so who gives anyone the authority or right to change GOD’s Nature? GOD cannot be the opposite of what He is!I sincerely hope with this proof Christians will apply this understanding with an open mind and heart that at no time GOD ever became a powerless man on earth and forfeited His Divne Nature for 33 years while no diety governed the World…it’s that simple!

You always surprise me with your ignorance

OtemAtum:
in situations people term as miracle, they hardly thank the humans who directly help them. What I would suggest is that people should thank the physical helpers first, then they can go and thank whatever they want in their privacy.

That's your opinion to thank the physical helpers first, I'm against that coz the Creator is greater than the creations. God created the helpers also.

Pls my fellow umars, and Alfas in the house, pls what is the role of muhazim in islam and mosque, and is there any ruling that compulsory that if imams is praying, muhazim must also say it loud after him, pls i need to know this fact..

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

My first advice to you is to try and find good Alfa who follows the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to ask your questions from him. Because there are many sects and organisations in this forum (Shia, Ahmadiyya, Sufi e.t.c).

To your question, if what you mean by muhazim is the one person who calls to prayer. The roles of a Muazzin(one who calls to obligatory prayer) is to call the Azzan, and there are some rules and regulations which must be followed by a Muazzin such as having full knowledge of the correct time for prayers,having loud voice, able to pronounce the words of Azzan correctly and so on.

It's not allowed for a Muazzin or anyone behind the Imam to re echo what the Imam says as long as the congregation can hear the voice of the Imam loud and clear. But if the people can't hear the voice of the Imam, then it's allowed for someone to repeat what the Imam says where the voice of the Imam can reach. WaLlahu A'laam.

OtemAtum:
In about a year and half from now, a decision was made by the goverment. Whether local government or state government I cannot tell. A culvert was to be made at the side of the road, because a canal is right beside the expressroad. The culvert was made and all things go smoothly till today.

But today an accident struck. A BRT bus hit a danfo such that it tumbled and lay by its right side beside the road.It did not tumble into the canal because of the culvert made beside the road.

I as well as other passersby help the victims to come out of their buses, but none of them remembered to thank us or the culvert for rescuing them. They thank only Allah and Yahweh. A lady whom we helped came out and said, I shall do thanksgiving in my church.

Some of them snapped the buses because they say that they will use it to share testimony on the media and also in their religious gatherings.

Now tell me, who should be thanked in this situation? The culvert, the government who did the culvert and we who rescued them out of the damaged bus were not thanked, take note of this.

Richardbrandy, okaicorne, Dazzlingd, realmindz, hopefullandlord, dalaman, geoworldedu, felixomor, goodmuyis, iamgenius, wilgrea7, Muafrika2, johnydon22, 4kings, godsmopol

They should thank God Almighty first, then those whom God used to save them. It would make no sense if they didn't thank their rescuers.

Christians would not issue death on him because he converted to Islam but for muslims ,it is death penalty.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17:

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."


It is just a pity that he is going to hell after his death , pending the judgement day:


Volume 1, Book 12, Number 770:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.'

There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be like the thorns of Sa'dan but nobody except Allah knows their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of ..........

What a pity.

You should have completed the Hadith. What you don't understand is that, the more you try to lie against Islam , the more wise people start to explore Islam wisely and honestly and sincerely. That's what you are missing man. Show me where life after death is written in the Bible of Paul.

ajiboye007:
if Islam comes from Arabic word Slim ,how can old prophets before Muhammad be a Muslim since the root word comes from Arabic not Hebrew or Aramaic ?
it's obvious the old prophet can't be a Muslim because there is pre-islamic period before Islam, also Arabic as a language was not speak or record as a language period to first century.
YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

Haha! Guy, you are very dull Sha. Bring your proof and let's see.

Origin:
Ask yourself this: What language did Adam speak?, what about Moses who grew up in Egypt? What about Abraham? How did Abraham communicate with his wife Hajar.


The word Islam (means total submission to God). Muslim (those who submit to God).

If I say Adam, Moses, Abraham and Jesus are Muslims because they submitted to God.





Remember, I just spoke English, yet all the past prophets never heard of English. But you that I am talking to UNDERSTAND it.




God has spoken to people in the language they will understand. And has sent their fellow men to them to remind them.

If you can translate the word "Islam" to the old languages then that is what they were called. Remember God has a name in every language.

May Allah bless you.

It is one thing to complain about a contest but rioting and harassing people that didn't harrass you for enjoying certain activities or tv programs that don't affect you is not peaceful.

Why do you tell obvious lies
Quran10:94-95
And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee , then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. And be not thou of those who deny the revelations of Allah, for then wert thou of the losers .


....that which we reveal to thee...
Is the Message of Islam NOT Mohammed's name.


Secondly, don't gloss over my post

Is the Quran not in error by insinuating that trinity is God, Jesus and Mary?

Part if what was revealed to him is the mention of his name in the scriptures

shadeyinka:
It was the Fathers Voice
Matthew 17:5
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"

At least it wasn't like Mohammed who didn't even know the identity of the spirit who spoke to him. It took a combination of Kadijah and Waraqa to convince him that it was Jubril. If a spirit actually spoke to Mohammed, it must be a demon.

If I lie, show me anyone else in the Taurat, Zabura, Injeel or any other scripture where an angel almost strangled the messanger or where a slight resemblance of this kind of Mohammed's encounter took place and I will apologize and henceforth take Islam more seriously. Jubril did not even introduce himself anywhere or did he?

It was a voice that said This is my beloved son.. . There is no proof that the voice is God's? I don't believe in dem say dem talk.

shadeyinka:
Aren't you not confused about Trinity?
Why repeat the error of the Quran when you know that the Christian's Trinity consist of

-The Father
-The Son (Jesus)
-The Holy Spirit (NOT Jubril..another confusion in Islam)

If you need understanding, ASK!
Quran10:94-95 And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee , then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. And be not thou of those who deny the revelations of Allah, for then wert thou of the losers .

Does Islam not believe in Duality?

Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) can't read or write, Allah ask him to ask and confirms from the Jews and the Christians that his name was written in their books, yet they (Christians and Jews) still didn't believe in him as the messenger if God. Next time do your research well before talking gibberish.

John 3 vs 16.

For God so love the WORLD. that he gave his Only begothen Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Salvation is not for the Jews alone. It's for the world.


Jesus was not sent as a MESSANGER to the gentiles. He was sent to Israel. But his work of salvation is for everyone. Gentiles heard his words anyway and believed.

When he prayed for his disciples, he said..... I don't only pray for these but also to those that shall believe on me thru their word.(Assignment. Go and look for where it is in the Bible)

John 12 vs 20-30.... Greeks came to the feast of passover...they wanted to see Jesus..

Jesus prayed and said.Father glorify your name and a voice came from heaven. I have, and I will glory it again. And they all heard it.

Jesus said. This voice did not come for me. But for you sakes that you may believe. It means they Greek heard it too..

He sent Paul to gentiles.
He told Peter to preach to Cornelius, a gentiles.

A voice from Heaven? Not even God's voice. Remember,it's not God alone who is in heaven.

Question: "I want to talk about an important matter, which is that children sometimes do not appreciate their father’s circumstances. I am twenty-three years old, and I have siblings, among whom is a girl who is twenty years old, but unfortunately she does not care about my father’s situation. My father is facing financial difficulty, but she says: I want such and such, and such and such, and I don’t care even if he has to go and ask of people in order to get me what I want, because this is my right over him. By Allah, my father is going through a lot of distress because of his worries about his children, and the situation in which he is living. What is your opinion about this? What advice can you offer to such children? Does this come under the heading of defiant disobedience towards parents, or are there other explanations for it? Please note that she gets angry with my father for various reasons, and I do not know how to deal with her.

Answer::::
Praise be to Allah

Firstly:

Girls’ impulsivity when dealing with one or both parents, or rebelliousness towards them and constant resentment towards them is usually due to one of two reasons: either it has to do with lack of understanding of Islamic teachings and weakness of faith, or it has to do with psychological and behavioural problems.

With regard to lack of understanding of Islamic teachings and weakness of faith, the problem can be discussed as follows:

It may have to do with weak or distorted understanding of the status of parents according to Islam, and the rights that parents have over their children.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “No son can repay his father unless he finds him enslaved and buys him, then manumits him.” Narrated by Muslim (1510).

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the father, and the wrath of the Lord is in the wrath of the father.” Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (1899); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

Whatever there may be of misunderstanding or differences between a child and his father, it is still essential to accompany him with appropriate kindness. Even if the difference has to do with the fundamentals of religion and the foundations of the message of the Messengers, and the father tries to force his child to associate others with Allah, that does not cancel out the rights that the father has over his child, and does not give the child an excuse not to pay heed to the father’s rights. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.

But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]. Then to Me will be your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do”

[Luqmaan 31:14-15].

To sum up:

Talking to and debating with parents is not like talking to anyone else, because we are enjoined to lower the wing of humility to them by speaking gently and humbly, softening the voice and expressing humility in our body language, and not to repel them by doing something that they dislike or by refusing to do something permissible that they like.

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], ‘uff,’ and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, ‘My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small’”

[al-Isra’ 17:23-24].

Humility towards parents is likened to the weak bird lowering its wings in humility when it feels scared of another bird that is stronger.

It was narrated from Hishaam ibn ‘Urwah that his father said, explaining the phrase “And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy”: Do not refuse to do anything that they like.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad, in the chapter Leen al-Kalaam lil-Waalidayn (speaking softly to parents). Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.


Secondly:

Another of the significant matters that cause such problems as mentioned in the question is that many children do not adapt to the circumstances in which they find themselves, and they are not taught to be content with what Allah has allocated to them and what He has decreed for them of shares of this world. Rather you see them always looking at those who have been given more of provision, and demanding for themselves what others have, without either himself or his family having the means of attaining that. This always makes them discontent with their lot, and causes them to complain about it and not be content with what they have been given.

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring”

[Ta-Ha 20:131].

Shaykh as-Sa ‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

That is, do not be unduly impressed and do not look repeatedly and admiringly at different aspects of this world and those who are enjoying them, such as delicious food and drink, fine clothing, beautiful houses, and adorned women, for all of that is merely the splendour of the life of this world. People who are deceived by this life are excited about these things and they dazzle the eyes of those who turn away from the truth, and the wrongdoers enjoy these things without paying any attention to the hereafter. But this world will soon come to an end, and everything in it will cease to be; it destroys those who love it and are infatuated by it, but they will regret it at a time when regret will be of no benefit, and they will realise, when the Resurrection comes, that what they were pursuing was no more than a trial and test from Allah, to find out who would make this world his sole concern and be deceived by it, and who would do good, as Allah (st) says elsewhere: “Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground” [al-Kahf 18:7-8].

“The provision of your Lord” in this world of knowledge, faith, and righteous deeds, and in the hereafter of eternal bliss and a good life in closeness to the Most Gracious Lord,

{is better} in essence and attributes than enjoyment in this life,

“and more enduring” because it will never end; its food and shade will be perpetual, as Allah says elsewhere: “But you prefer the worldly life, While the Hereafter is better and more enduring” [al-A‘la 87:16-17].

This verse indicates that if an individual notices in himself any aspiration for the adornment of this world and finds himself interested in pursuing it, he should remind himself of what lies ahead of the provision of his Lord, and he should weigh up the two matters.

End quote from Tafseer as-Sa‘di (516).

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Look at the one who is at a lower level than you, and do not look at the one who is above you, for that may keep you from scorning the blessing of Allah.”

Narrated by Muslim (2963). There is a similar report in al-Bukhaari.

Thirdly:

It should be understood that according to Islamic teachings, the father is enjoined to spend on his wife and children according to his means, not according to his children’s demands and desires. It is not permissible for the wife or child to demand of him more than he can afford, for Allah, may He be exalted, has not enjoined that upon him. Rather his family and children should control themselves and limit their requests and needs to what the father can afford; it is not permissible for them to annoy him or burden him with more than he can bear, or to make him feel that he is falling short in his duties, or that he is not maintaining them as he is supposed to, or that they do not appreciate what he is trying to do for them or what he is spending on them.

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them. And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for the father another woman.

Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allah will bring about, after hardship, ease”

[at-Talaaq 65:6-7].

Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“out of your means” – Ibn ‘Abbaas, Mujaahid and others said: That is, from whatever you can afford.

“Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth” that is, let the father or the guardian of the child spend on the child according to his means.

“and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him” – this is like the verse: “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity” [al-Baqarah 2:286].

End quote.

Fourthly:

With regard to psychological and behavioural causes, that has to do with pathological impulsivity that overwhelms the girl and she is unable to control it. This impulsivity usually occurs in the case of anxiety and stress disorders, and manifests itself more clearly in the case of borderline personality disorder.

If exhortations, religious reminders, education and discipline do not succeed with your sister, and she does not stop misbehaving and still does not show proper etiquette with her father, and does not stop burdening him with her demands and wants, then we advise you to consult a female psychologist who can evaluate her case and look for the causes of her bad temper and impulsivity, because it is important to use anti-stress and antianxiety medication alongside sessions of talk therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for stress and anxiety disorders, or dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) in the case of borderline personality disorder.

And Allah knows best.

Hello to the gurus here. I am not a tech savvy guy and I don't even know much about phones. So I do apologise if my question sounds tech ignorant.
However I just got a dual SIM phone because I want to stop carrying multiple phones and I want to know if I can have two whatsapp account on one phone as I need one account for my business and one personal.
Thanks for the response.

You can download an app called "Go Multiple " it's the best for me.

Allahu Akbar! ! thats what you where taught. But others use different verses quote different verses and traditions to justify innocent killings and to promote violence. There are alot of verses terrorrist leaders quote to justify their deeds. what can we do about that.. my opinion islamic leaders should sit down and talk about it and come to a conclusion. If peace then peace shall reign and every muslim shall follow that path and if a muslim doeas and act of violence all muslims should condemn them and fight against them. If that was done earlier it wouldnt have reachen this point.
Jazakumallahikhairan.

Brother, those verses terrorists misquote were not what is prescribed in Islam. And I must tell you that some people were just hiding under the banner if Islam to do their terrorism acts like ISIS and Boko Haram etc. YahdikumuLlahu Brother.

Praise be to Allah.

Islam is a peaceful religion because Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means ‘peace’), and Islam is His religion that He has approved of for mankind. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him”

[al-Hashr 59:23].

Islam is a peaceful religion because it forbids mischief on earth. Allah, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
[b]
“and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)”

[al-Qasas 28:77]

“Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allah Alone - Islamic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsan (i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah, totally for Allahs sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet SAW in a perfect manner), and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahsha (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islamic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed”

[an-Nahl 16:90]. [/b]

The blood of the peaceful individual (one who is living under Muslim rule or who has been granted the protection of the Muslim state) is regarded as sacrosanct to such an extent that transgression against a single individual with no justification is regarded as equal to transgression against all of humanity. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land”

[al-Maa’idah 5:32].

Islam is a peaceful religion that allows followers of other religions to live in the Islamic state and practice their religion without putting any pressure on them. They are the ones who are known as ahl adh-dhimmah or ahl al-‘ahd (those living under Muslim rule and enjoying the protection of the Muslim state). They are granted complete rights that are not granted to them by the most democratic countries nowadays.

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ruled Madinah when there were many Jewish tribes living there, and he established a constitution between him and them which required all citizens to defend the state and strive together for its wellbeing, and granted security to them, their property and their children, with freedom of worship, trade and travel. They mixed with the Muslims to such an extent that they used to invite the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to meals in their homes, and he would accept their invitations. He (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) also gave them the right to judge matters amongst themselves according to their own laws.

This is how the Rightly Guided Caliphs who succeeded him also acted; they did not shed anyone’s blood on the basis of identity, ethnicity or religion. Rather they resisted the aggression of hostile parties, supported those who were weak and oppressed in the land, and strove to spread the religion of Allah, call people to Him and tell them about Him: “so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence” [al-Anfaal 8:42].

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If anyone wrongs a mu‘aahid [non-Muslim living under Muslim rule], detracts from his rights, burdens him with more work than he is able to do or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him (the mu‘aahid) on the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated by Abu Dawood (3052); classed as hasan by Ibn Hajar in Muwaafaqat al-Khabr, 2/184; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills a mu‘aahid will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3166)

The basis for all of that is the verse in Soorat al-Mumtahinah in which Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.

It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zalimoon (wrong-doers those who disobey Allah)”

[al-Mumtahinah 60:8-9].

And Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do”

[al-Maa’idah 5:8].

Al-Baydaawi says in his Tafseer (commentary on the Qur’an) (303):

That is: do not let your intense hatred for the mushrikeen (polytheists) cause you to fail to be just towards them and thus transgress against them by doing things that are not permissible, such as mutilating the dead, slandering them, killing women and children, or breaking treaties, because of the resentment in your hearts.

Although Allah has instructed His slaves to show enmity towards the disbelievers with regard to their religion and to disavow them, that too is governed by the definitive general principle, which is to treat them justly and fairly, and not to wrong or mistreat them.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Justice (or fairness) is obligatory upon everyone towards everyone in all circumstances, and injustice (or unfairness) is not permissible under any circumstances, to such an extent that Allah, may He be exalted, has enjoined the believers to treat the disbelievers with justice, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do”

[al-Maa’idah 5:8].

The believers treated the disbelievers justly in accordance with the command of Allah, because Allah told them: do not let your hatred of the disbelievers make you fail to treat them justly; rather treat them justly, for that is nearer to piety.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 30/339

This is the “code of conduct” that governs Muslim practices and highlights to you the peace, justice and security that Islam brought to the inhabitants of earth.

But if you want to judge Islam on the basis of the actions of some of its followers and adherents, then you must let us judge Christianity and Judaism based on the actions of some of the followers of these two religions too. How can it be said that Christianity is a religion of love when we see that the holy war (crusade) that was declared by the US president Bush (the son) is killing hundreds and thousands of people in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq?

Even if we accept that al-Qaeda has attacked peaceful citizens in the USA, and we overlook the reports and studies that suggest otherwise and point to the involvement of intelligence agencies, can that aggression be warded off by occupying other countries? If Afghanistan was occupied in order to strike at al-Qaeda in that country, then why was Iraq occupied, which led to the killing of thousands and widespread abuse of prisoners [Abu Ghraib], and put an end to the peace and security that existed before the occupation, so that rivers of blood could continue to flow because of the consequences of occupation?

How can it be said that Christianity is a religion of love, when we see complete support for the Zionist occupation of Muslim lands, the expulsion of millions from their homes, the imprisoning of hundreds of thousands, and the wholesale replacement of one people by another? Didn’t the Jews live in peace in Palestine and other Arab lands before the establishment of the state of Israel? So why this occupation? And why do Western countries continue to support this usurper state? Why does the Christian West support this state, and why was it given the Balfour declaration by Great Britain in order to kill Muslims and stir up the grave turmoil, trouble and war that resulted from the planting of the Zionist entity in the region?

What do you want us to tell you about the current situation that is filled with terrorism of Christian states and the blood they have on their hands, represented by the new conservatives in the USA, Britain and elsewhere?

Or do you want us to tell you about the armed Christian terrorist groups, of which there are more than forty-one, and more than twenty-two militias in the USA alone? If we were to list for you the operations that these groups have carried out throughout the world, it would take far too long. How about if we listed all the terrorist groups throughout the world, which are motivated by racist or religious beliefs, all of which have emerged from the Christian world?

But let us set all of that aside. Why should we delve so deeply into the Western world? Have you not heard about the Muslims in Central Africa, and the massacres and atrocities to which they are being subjected?

Have you heard about the offenses being committed against the Muslims in Myanmar, before the eyes of the entire world?

Do you want us to tell you about the past? The pages of history are filled with the Crusades in which the Muslim lands were occupied and their blood was shed for hundreds of years?

Do you want us to tell you about what happened to the Muslims in Andalus (Spain) and the atrocities carried out against them by the Inquisition?

Do you want to us to tell you about the atrocities committed by European colonialists – French, British, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch – in Muslim lands?

Nevertheless, we – as an independent Islamic research organization – cannot accuse Christianity, in the form that Allah sent down to the Messiah ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary – peace be upon him), of being a religion of terror or aggression; rather it was a religion of peace, as were the religions of all the Prophets. Rather terrorism occurrs among some of the followers who distort the divinely revealed books, or follow their own criminal agenda, or get confused and they are deceived by the Shaytaan (Satan), so they begin to shed blood, transgress sacred limits and provoke wars throughout the world.

We believe that we can find a great deal of common ground if we agree to respect treaties and covenants, and restore people’s rights in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq, and other countries that have long suffered oppression and occupation, and the plunder of resources, sometimes in the name of freedom and sometimes in the name of fighting terrorism. At that point we will be able to find a way to debate calmly and wisely, for we are the people of this call, as Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Quran) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.

And if you punish (your enemy, O you believers in the Oneness of Allah), then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, verily, it is better for As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)

And endure you patiently (O Muhammad SAW), your patience is not but from Allah. And grieve not over them (polytheists and pagans, etc.), and be not distressed because of what they plot.

Truly, Allah is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him), and those who are Muhsinoon (good-doers)”

[an-Nahl 16:125-128].

And Allah knows best.

Muslims claim the bible is corrupted yet they deep their nose in it looking for approval of Islam.

You can never understand those verses you quoted as long as you still see the Bible as corrupted. This means it's only a corrupted view you will get.

Bcoz we've got not the holy spirit, GIBBERISH.

Thank you jare.

The guy has been creating threads that are AntiChrist and Nairaland mods move them to front page every Friday to ridicule Christianity with lies. But when a certain Albhagdadi creats a Counter thread to dispute the guy's lies, Nairaaland mods won't move it to front page.

An example is this one - https://www.nairaland.com/4103454/counter-thread-misconceptions-allah-allah


Is Nairaland deliberately exposing Christianity to persecution and attacks while Islam gets shielded? Shielding one group while you expose another will only make the protected group bold enough to misbehave and abuse things. That is exactly what is going on with Islam on Nairaland.

If muslims want to talk about Christianity, they should do so in the religion section where Christians can engage them, not in the Islamic section where non-muslims cannot make a comment without swearing an oath.

This is all wrong

You don't have to thank me nah. I told him to do that so we can expose you Christians of those lies. More threads coming InshaAllah.

Raafidhi, coz u never make sense for once. Get out jare.

malvisguy212:
1 Timothy 4:10, "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of ALL MEN, specially of THOSE THAT BELIEVE ."

You see, salvation is conditional. Christ died for all men, but not all believe and accept His gift of salvation.

since muslims deny the crucifixion of Jesus, and the Qur'an acknowledged it that crucifixion did take place but it isn't Jesus that was crucified, according to the Qur'an, who was crucified ?

You are being crucified by Satan.

Rubbish talking brothers up there. This one no even want hijabite, Spit!!!

AlBaqir:
# Prof Ishaq Akintola and MURIC.

* While I support 100% all of his submissions, what is not clear to me is the function of the Muslim Association of Nigeria (MAN). It seems to be a DEAD association compare to her counterpart CAN.

* I only see all the agitation as a way of keeping the CAN at bay. Why this time of the so called agitation for restructuring that all those vital points are being mentioned? Muslims are known to be more serious and religious than Christians. However, in many Muslim dominated states, the practice of Hijab among government workers is intact but it still need to be pass in the law.

* Declaring Friday as holiday for Muslims? This is really not necessary for in the view of the Qur'an, Friday is not an holiday

Surah Al-Jumua, Verse 10:

"But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful."

Although, it is never against the Qur'an if it is made an holiday. Designating Working days and holidays (except days specifically mentioned by Allah and His Prophet) is no way a thing of Ibaadat (worship). Such things a left for man to decide.

* All in all, whether MURIC or whatever, should please stop politicising serious Islamic issues. If they truly meant business, they shouldn't wait for anybody before demanding right of Muslims in line with the way their religion dictates. MSSN of Lagos and Òsun state Muslim community have done it for Muslim girls/ladies.

First time you are making sense.
