joker5180: nobody doubted or denied that a woman can seek divorce frm her husband if she has cogent reason to do so,she can even take him to court if he refuses, but the issue was whether she can do that jst because he is marrying another wife.

U dont seem to get it. If it was a clause the wife put in the contract befor marriage, then she has every right to call it off. It's a violation of the woman's trust. But if it wasnt discussed before, that i cannot say.

Ibnjurayj: Maa shaa Allaah wallaahi it's a great reminder, may Allaah ease our affairs. But how are we gonna be able to answer these three questions right if there's no sincerity in our Deen? most of us left the Sunnah of the Messenger peace be upon him and imitate the sunnah of the confused kuffaar, Allaahul Musta'aan.

That is why this islam exhorts us to strive towards perfection until our death. A muslim is expected is to continualy retrace his way back if he falls into error. May Allah make us be among those dat wil answer the questions correctly.

Deols' argument is as compelling as its true. I usually wonder why is it dat most of agberos,garage n area boys turn out to be muslims. Many fathers are only concerned wit the procreation aspect, d real fathering work goes to d mothers.
But polygamy in itself is not bad, only that its success or failure depends on the players involved.

deols:

Like every other contract, it should be written and signed with witnesses involved.

Okay

By contract, does it hav to be a kind of form or just an agreement(s) by word of mouth between them?

Polygamy polygamy... I av always asked myself whether its something I can go into. But i think golpen's analysis will suffice for now

Its not hard at all. Am assuming my hosts should know dat muslims dont close their eyes 4 prayer. As the praying is on, i silently say mine too.

Sissie: On to lighter notes, if your wife chooses not to work, will you agree.
P.s please no right or wrong answers, answer and state your views, dont attack other peoples views, it's a discussion not an argument.

As for me o, if she chooses not to work as in bluecollar job, no prob. But i'd lyk her to hav a kind of 'shop' or whatever,

Olohun o kuu suuru

frosbel:

Just look at 80% of Islamic countries with all the war, ignorance, bloodshed , confusion etc , I wonder why their religion cannot bring them peace and harmony if it is such a lofty idea.

You should have tried checking who /what are the primary instigators of the "war" and "bloodshed''; WWII, Israel, Soviet Republic, US Of America.

frosbel:


So you know more about the history of Christianity than the Christian Scholars
:-)

If you cared to notice, all the references he made use of were from christian scholars

@tbaba, your piece seem to refer to new muslims only but the truth is it has an impact on we 'old' muslims too. I for one.

That man can really express thoughts. Its as if he's a hijab sister himself. So beautifully written...thnks tbaba

Na wa o, this is definitely not sunnatic. I dunno how events such as this even get sponsors.

onegig:

When I or If i do prostrate to someone it will be as a show of love or as a form of greeting.

The first hadith has already covered this...All actions are based on your intentions.

My intention for greeting them by prostrating is not because they own me or they are lord over me but just a representation of the word "good morning or good day" and as a mark of respect. The Prophet preaches respect for the family and we all have our ways of showing respect. It all boils down to the intention. If you are bowing or prostrating to someone as paying homage or obeisance then that's when it is termed sin.

But as for me and from my own understanding. I don't think there's anything wrong in this. I don't have to prostrate on Third Mainland Bridge before God knows am paying obeisance to HIM as long I believe HE is ONE and The Only One nothing else matters.

Yeah, u may be right. But I have seen mor dan one case where 'brothers' and their entire contigent flatly refused to prostrate. Caused no smal altercation....

onegig:


Very funny...You mean you won't prostrate to your in laws when seeking the hand of their daughter in marriage if it is required by the culture?

Hmmm....you are taking it way too far..


Pray tell me what else would you do? Walk away when asked to do so or plainly refuse...Everything is judged by your intentions bro.

Prostrating is adjudged by some scholars as a form of worship, dat means u may actually be paying obeisance to ur in-laws without knowing, something meant for God alone. That could be a sin u know

Salam, talkin about mixing culture with religion, ow about cases where the groom and friends are required to prostrate before the bride parents. Wat can d groom do in such a situation?

tbaba1234: [b]Tribe and Marriage[/b

So what are your view on tribe and marriage? Are you willing to marry a muslim outside your tribe?

Salam, i think people (or at least d yorubas) assume that marrying from one's tribe makes for better understanding between the couple. When we meet 2 strangers, most of us tend to feel more at home around one who is a fellow tribesman at the initial stages, so generally when it comes to serious issues like marriage, its a kind of subconscious thing to choose from the tribe.

In my case, my growing into Islam has being a major factor in shedding a large part of this belief. Even though am not yet ready 4 dat step, I dont think tribe will be a condition.

Jazakum lahu khayran. Emi a se opo ramadan o...

Subhanallah! Such a wonderful and moving story. Allah's light will forever continue to shine.

Thanks brother. May Allah reward you abundantly..

That was a really potent reminder of what our priorities on earth should be. Jazakum lahu khairan. I heard dat during d waiting period in d grave, we wil b visited by our solaat who wil keep us company til d day of judgement. Is dis true?

A lot! A whole big lot. We even have married nairalanders e.g....my e-daddy [/quote]
Ur e-daddy no get name?

tbaba1234:

Apparently you didn't think about that before your first comment. This is a public lecture, it is for only those that are interested, nobody is forcing you.

There is no compulsion in religion: true guidance has become distinct from error, so whoever rejects false gods and believes in God has grasped the firmest hand-hold, one that will never break. God is all hearing and all knowing. (Surah 2:256)



Go and speak with the saudi authorities then, what does that have to do with the public lecture

Or maybe he should tell us if mosques are allowed in the Vatican

fatdon1: Former Zambian president, Mr.
Rupiah Banda, was arrested on
Monday by the country's law
enforcement agents over
allegations of corruption and
abuse of office, following a
crude oil import deal with
Nigeria.
Banda, according to an online
news agency,
hotnaijanews.com, was also
alleged to have
misappropriated about $11m
during his three-year reign as
President of the country.
The country's authorities are
accusing him of procuring oil
which did not benefit the
country.
He was said to have imported
crude oil from Nigeria without
actual deliveries, despite the
fact that the funds were
deposited into the bank
account of his son.
Banda, who was released from
police custody and is due to
appear in court on Tuesday,
however, said the moves
against him are politically
motivated.
He was questioned for close to
three hours after his arrest
related to the oil deal Monday
before he was released on bail.
Banda denies the charges, and
his lawyers claim the arrest is
an attempt by current
President Michael Sata to
silence him.
After his release, Banda
appeared before his
supporters and told them to
remain calm, reassuring them he
would win his case in court.
Earlier this month, parliament
lifted Banda's presidential
immunity, clearing the way for
him to be prosecuted for
several corruption and abuse
of office charges.
Banda lost to President Michael
Sata in 2011 elections. The new
government has been pursuing
the corruption investigations
against the former leader and
his political allies.
Banda, born 13 February 1937,
was President of Zambia from
2008 to 2011.
During the Presidency of
Kenneth Kaunda, Banda held
important diplomatic posts and
was active in politics as a
member of the United National
Independence Party. Years
later, he was appointed as
Vice-President by President
Levy Mwanawasa in October
2006, following the latter's re-
election.
He took over Mwanawasa's
presidential responsibilities
after Mwanawasa suffered a
stroke in June 2008, and
following Mwanawasa's death
in August 2008, he became
acting President. As the
candidate of the governing
Movement for Multiparty
Democracy, he narrowly won
the October 2008 presidential
election, according to official
results.
Opposition leader Michael Sata
defeated Banda in the
September 2011 presidential
election, and Sata accordingly
succeeded Banda as President
on September 23, 2011.
