When it suits them or when they are at the receiving end, they chant "Freedom" of Religion but when Christians are pracicting their freedom to religion (like the Coptic Christians they keep murdering in Egypt) or when one person decides to exercise their freedom to chose a religion by converting to Christianity, they bring out their knife and murder the person because their Islamic religion DOES NOT PRACTICE WHAT IT PREACHES!

You should watch what you say. You can pass your information across without calling anyone names.

Hatred for Islam is what I see has been inscribed in your heart and has clouded your eyes into saying the truth when you see the truth and rising up against falsehood.

There's freedom of religion like I said and cause some people do evil in the name of Islam does not mean that is what Islam says.

Christians and Muslims are not meant to commit adultery/fornication but it is the norm of the day doesn't mean that is what the religion says.

You should stand for the truth always.

Yes we have bad eggs in Islam that misinterpret the religion to commit evil but they are condemned by me and other good Muslims out there as they don't represent the teachings of Islam.

MarieSucre:
If indeed "To you is your religion and to me is mine. There is no compulsion in religion."

Then why is there a penalty for eating outside during in countries like Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, Iran etc

Isn't it fair for the Muslim authority to let these other people practice their religion and they the Muslim's practice theirs?
Or do these rights not exist if other religions are in the minority?

Those are Islamic majority countries and penalty for eating outside during Ramadan is not from Islam but rather law of the land.


Same way Nigeria has a law of 14 years for homosexuality. Some countries like USA might not be cool with that law but most Nigerians commend that law as they don't tolerate homosexuality.

Nigeria is a multi-religious society and Boko Haram can never be practicing Islam as it has been taught. There will always be Muslims,Christians, Jews and idol worshippers in the land as it has always been even in the time of the prophet Muhammad (SAW). There's no compulsion in religion as I said and you don't force people to practice your religion.

Tolerance is key. And I believe you will say Boko Haram don't tolerate other people. Look around you, you must have few good Muslim friends that you trust even more than some Christians. Study their behaviour and reflect on the reality of true Muslims. Most Muslims hate Boko Haram,ISIS, etc but it's unfortunate we have those evil eggs in our midst.

Kathmandu:
When there is ORO in Lagos everyone respects the traditional customs by not walking around at night and obeying their instructions but I'm surprised that the Muslims
had to break the customs of the land because of Islam.



Traditional worship has been there before the advent of Islam in Ekiti land

You made no sense sir.

Imagine Egun worshippers storming the church service during praise and worship and breaking the pastor head because they are having their festival.

So a muslim should not break his fast or sit at the mosque because Egun is in town?

You are anonymous online but you have to fear God with you comment.

To you is your religion and to me is mine. There is no compulsion in religion.

nextprince:
And you dey argue on top English matter.

Correct it Mr. English teacher.

It know you want it to read "He must have written NSE examination and passed".

I wasn't even arguing about his English. I was talking about the Engr. Infront of his name.

hardbody:
Is it your Engnr. ?

Na wa oo

Yes it could be quite annoying.

I'm an Engr. with up to 3years + post NYSC experience in engineering. I have been elected a member of Nigerian society of engineers (NSE) and I know the hardwork it takes to be a member.

I am still awaiting my COREN certificate and still I don't use Engr. Infront of my name yet as I haven't been permitted to do so which is usually permissible by COREN council approval.

He's not a certified engineer.
You don't put Engr. infront of your name without COREN
He has to have written NSE examination and passed.
Without no experience I wonder why he put Engr there.

We do not think that the Muslims should be so sensitive with regard to issues that are the matter of scholarly differences or make them the cause of division and fitnah among the Muslims.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, when speaking about the matter of one who prays ten rak’ahs with the imam, then sits down and waits for Witr and does not complete the Taraaweeh prayers with the imam:

It grieves us deeply that we find in the Muslim ummah a group which differs concerning matters in which differences of opinion are acceptable, and they take these differences as a means to cause division. Differences within the ummah existed at the time of the Sahaabah, yet they remained united. The youth in particular and to all those who are committed to Islam must remain united, because they have enemies who are laying in wait.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/225

Two groups have gone to extremes with regard to this matter. The first group denounced everyone who prays more than eleven rak’ahs and said that doing so was bid’ah. The second group denounced those who do only eleven rak’ahs and said that they are going against scholarly consensus (ijmaa’).

Let us listen to what Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Here we say that we should not go to extremes or be negligent. Some people go to extremes in adhering to the number mentioned in the Sunnah, and say that it is not permissible to do more than the number mentioned in the Sunnah, and they aggressively denounce those who do more than that, saying that they are sinners.

This is undoubtedly wrong. How can they be sinners, when the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), upon being asked about night prayers, said that they are to be done two by two, and he did not specify any particular number? Of course the one who asked him about the night prayer did not know the number, because if he did not know how to do it, it is even more likely that he did not know the number. And he was not one of those who served the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so that we might say that he knew what happened inside his house. Since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told him how to do it but did not say how many times, it may be understood that the matter is broad in scope, and that a person may pray one hundred rak’ahs then pray Witr with one rak’ah.

With regard to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Pray as you have seen me praying”, this does not apply in absolute terms even for these people. Hence they do not say that a person should pray Witr with five rak’ahs sometimes and with seven rak’ahs sometimes and with nine rak’ahs sometimes. If we understand it in absolute terms, then we would have to pray Witr with five rak’ahs sometimes and with seven rak’ahs sometimes and with nine rak’ahs sometimes. But what is meant by the hadeeth is pray as you have seen me praying with regard to how to pray not how many rak’ahs, unless there is a text to state what the number is.

Whatever the case, a person should not be strict with people with regard to a matter that is broad in scope. We have even seen some brothers who are strict on this matter accusing the imams who pray more than eleven rak’ahs of following bid’ah, and they leave the mosque, thus missing out on the reward of which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever stands with the imam until he finishes (the prayer), the reward of qiyaam al-layl will be recorded for him.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 806; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 646). Some of them even sit down after completing ten rak’ahs, thus breaking up the rows of worshippers by sitting there, and sometimes they start talking and disturb the people who are praying.

We have no doubt that their intentions are good and they are doing their best to come to the right conclusion, but that does not mean that they are correct.

The other group does the opposite. They sternly denounce those who pray only eleven rak’ahs and say that they have gone against scholarly consensus. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell — what an evil destination!”

[al-Nisa’ 4:115]

All the generations who came before you only knew the number as twenty-three rak’ahs, and they denounce anyone who says anything different.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/73-75

With regard to the evidence quoted by those who say that it is not permissible to do more than eight rak’ahs in Taraaweeh, they quote the hadeeth of Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan, who asked ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), “How did the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) pray during Ramadaan?” She said: “He did not pray more than eleven rak’ahs in Ramadaan or at other times. He would pray four, and do not ask how beautiful and long they were, then he would pray four, and do not ask how beautiful and long they were, then he would pray three. I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, will you sleep before you pray Witr?’ He said, ‘O ‘Aa’ishah, my eyes sleep but my heart does not.’”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1909; Muslim, 738

They said: This hadeeth indicates that the Messenger of Allaah was consistent in his prayers at night in Ramadaan and at other times.

The scholars refuted this use of the hadeeth as evidence by saying that this is what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did, but the fact that he did something does not imply that it is obligatory.

The evidence that there is no set number for prayers at night – which include Taraaweeh – is the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar according to which a man asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about prayer at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Prayers at night are to be offered two by two (two rak’ahs at a time). If any of you fears that the time of dawn is approaching then let him pray one rak’ah as Witr.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 846; Muslim, 749)

If we look at what the scholars of the prominent schools of thought said, you will clearly see that this matter is broad in scope and that there is nothing wrong with doing more than eleven rak’ahs.

Al-Sarkhasi, who is one of the imams of the Hanafi school, said:

It is twenty rak’ahs, apart from Witr, in our view.

Al-Mabsoot, 2/145

Ibn Qudaamah said:

The favoured view according to Abu ‘Abd-Allaah (i.e., Imam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy on him), is that it is twenty rak’ahs. This was the view of al-Thawri, Abu Hanfeefah and al-Shaafa’i. Maalik said it is thirty-six.

Al-Mughni, 1/457

Al-Nawawi said:

Taraaweeh prayer is Sunnah according to scholarly consensus. Our view is that it is twenty rak’ahs with ten tasleems, and it is permissible to pray it individually or in congregation.

Al-Majmoo’, 4/31

These are the views of the four imams concerning the number of rak’ahs of Taraaweeh prayer. All of them said something more than eleven rak’ahs. Perhaps the reasons why they said something more than eleven rak’ahs include the following:

1- They thought that the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah did not mean that this was the specific number.

2- A greater number was narrated from many of the salaf.

See al-Mughni, 2/604; al-Majmoo’, 4/32

3- The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray eleven rak’ahs and make them very lengthy, so much so that it used to take him most of the night. Indeed, one night in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his companions in praying Taraaweeh, he did not end his prayer until just before dawn, and the Sahaabah feared that they would miss suhoor. The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) loved to pray behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and they did not feel that it was too long. The scholars thought that if the imam made the prayer so long, this would be too difficult for the members of the congregation and that might put them off. So they thought that the imam should make the recitation shorter and increase the number of rak’ahs.

The point is that the one who prays eleven rak’ahs in the manner narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is doing well and is following the Sunnah. Whoever makes the recitation shorter and increases the number of rak’ahs is also doing well. A person who does either of these two things is not to be denounced. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:

If a person prays Taraaweeh according to the madhhabs of Abu Haneefah, al-Shaafa’i and Ahmad, with twenty rak’ahs, or according to the madhhab of Maalik, with thirty-six rak’ahs, or with thirteen or eleven rak’ahs, he has done well, as Imam Ahmad said, because there is nothing to specify the number. So the greater or lesser number of rak’ahs depends on how long or short the qiyaam (standing in the prayer) is.

Al-Ikhtiyaaraat, p. 64

Al-Suyooti said:

What is narrated in the saheeh and hasan ahaadeeth is the command to observe night prayers during Ramadaan, which is encouraged without specifying a particular number. It is not proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed twenty rak’ahs of Taraaweeh, rather that he prayed at night, with an unspecified number of rak’ahs. Then he delayed it on the fourth night lest it become obligatory for them and they might not be able to do it. Ibn Hajar al-Haythami said: There is no saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed twenty rak’ahs of Taraaweeh. The narration which suggests that he “used to pray twenty rak’ahs” is extremely weak (da’eef).

Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 27/142-145

So you should not be surprised that people pray Taraaweeh as twenty rak’ahs. There have been generation after generation of those imams (who used to pray twenty rak’ahs), and all of them are good
Reference:islamqa

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:

It is prescribed to offer the night prayers in Ramadaan in congregation or individually, but it is better to do it in congregation than to do it individually. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his companions in offering these prayers in congregation on several nights.

It is proven in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his companions in prayer (Taraweeh) for several nights, then on the third or fourth night he did not come out to them. When morning came he said: “Nothing prevented me from coming out to you except the fact that I feared that it would be made obligatory for you.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1129. According to the version narrated by Muslim (761): “But I feared that night prayers would be made obligatory for you and you would not be able to do them.”

Offering Taraweeh prayer in congregation is something that is established by the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stated the reason why he did not persist in offering this prayer in congregation, which is that he feared that it might be made obligatory. This reason cased to be applicable after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, because when he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, the wahy (revelation) ceased and there was no longer any worry that it might be made obligatory. Once the reason, which was the fear of it being made obligatory, disappeared with the cessation of the wahy, then the fact that it is Sunnah to offer this prayer in congregation resumed.

See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/78.

Imam Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

This indicates that praying qiyaam in Ramadaan is one of the Sunnahs of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and is recommended and encouraged. It was not introduced by ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab, rather he revived something that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) loved and approved of. Nothing stopped him from doing it regularly except the fear that it might be made obligatory upon his ummah. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was kind and compassionate towards his ummah. ‘Umar knew from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that the obligatory duties would not be increased or decreased after his death (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so he revived this practice and enjoined it upon the people. That happened in 14 AH, and ‘Umar has the honour of being the one who revived this Sunnah.

Al-Tamheed, 8/108, 109

After the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) prayed Taraweeh in small groups and individually, until ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) united them behind a single imam.

It was narrated that ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Abd al-Qaari’ said: I went out with ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) one night in Ramadaan to the mosque, and the people were scattered, with one man praying by himself and another with a group of men following his prayer. ‘Umar said: “I think that if I gather them behind one reader, it will be better.” Then he decided to unite them behind Ubayy ibn Ka’b. Then I went out with him on another night, and the people were praying behind their reader. ‘Umar said: “What a good innovation this is. But the prayer that they forget about and sleep is better than the one they are offering.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1906.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said, when refuting the view of those who quoted ‘Umar’s words “What a good innovation this is” as meaning that innovation (bid’ah) is permissible:

With regard to qiyaam in Ramadaan, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) introduced this to his ummah, and he led them in prayer for a number of nights, because at his time they used to pray in congregation and individually. But he did not persist in leading them in one congregation, lest that be made obligatory for them. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, sharee’ah was established (and would not change after that). When ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) became caliph, he united them behind one imam, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, who united the people in one congregation on the orders of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him). ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) was one of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, of whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs after me; cling tightly to it.” So what he did was Sunnah but he said, “What a good innovation this is,” because it was an innovation in the linguistic sense, as they were doing something that they had not done during the life of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), i.e., gathering to do this, but it is Sunnah in the shar’i sense.”

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 22/234, 235

For more information, please see question no. 21740 and 45781

Secondly:

Completing the Qur’aan in Ramadaan, whether during prayer or outside prayer, is something that is praiseworthy. Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to review the Qur’aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) every Ramadaan, and in the Prophet’s last year he reviewed it with him twice.

We have discussed this in the answer to question no. 66504.

Thank you.

Slight hit ??

That's sickening

There is nothing in the Qur’aan that suggests that a man is allowed to bite his wife.

1 – The Qur’aan enjoins good treatment of one's wife: she is to be honoured and treated kindly, even when one no longer feels love in one's heart towards her. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allaah brings through it a great deal of good”

[al-Nisa’ 4:19]

2 – The Qur’aan explains that women have rights over their husbands, just as their husbands have rights over them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise”

[al-Baqarah 2:228]

This verse indicates that the man has additional rights, commensurate with his role as protector and maintainer and his responsibility of spending (on his wife) etc.

3 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined kind treatment and honouring of one’s wife, and he described the best of people as those who are best to their wives. He said: “The best of you are those who are the best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3895; Ibn Maajah, 1977; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

4 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke beautiful word concerning kind treatment of one’s wife, stating that when the husband feeds his wife and puts a morsel of food in her mouth, he earns the reward of doing an act of charity. He said, “You never spend anything but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you lift to your wife’s mouth.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6352; Muslim, 1628.

4 – And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fear Allaah with regard to women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allaah and intimacy with them has become permissible to you by the words of Allaah. Your right over them is that they should not allow anyone to sit on your furniture whom you dislike; if they do that then hit them but not in a harsh manner. And their right over you is that you should provide for them and clothe them on a reasonable basis.” Narrated by Muslim, 1218.

What is meant by “they should not allow anyone to sit on your furniture whom you dislike” is that they should not allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses, whether the person disliked is a man or a woman, or any of the woman’s mahrams [close relatives to whom marriage is forbidden]. The prohibition includes all of them. From the words of al-Nawawi.

The hadeeth may be understood as meaning that a man has the right to hit his wife, in a manner that is not harsh and does not cause injury if if there is a reason for that, such as her going against his wishes or disobeying him.

This is like the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“As to those women on whose part you see ill‑conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great”

[al-Nisa’ 4:34]

If a woman rebels against her husband and disobeys his commands, then he should follow this method of admonishing her, forsaking her in bed and hitting her. Hitting is subject to the condition that it should not be harsh or cause injury. Al-Hasan al-Basri said: this means that it should not cause pain.

‘Ata’ said: I said to Ibn ‘Abbaas, what is the kind of hitting that is not harsh? He said, Hitting with a siwaak and the like. [A siwaak is a small stick or twig used for cleaning the teeth - Translator]

The purpose behind this is not to hurt or humiliate the woman, rather it is intended to make her realize that she has transgressed against her husband’s rights, and that her husband has the right to set her straight and discipline her.

And Allaah knows best.

I said it before that you are not allowed to beat your wife if you are a christian.

BE NOT BITTER AGAINST THEM.

The bible say's mistreat your wife and ur prayers are ignored in heaven.

1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife,
as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered


You are only allowed to beat your wife if you are muslim.
As the quoran lays out the rules for beating your wife.

I have noticed that female police officers always stay under the bridge in Ikeja near computer village to harass flashy car owners. Many vehicles pass through that place but they only stop jeeps. Every time i pass there they stop me. Last saturday incident was very annoying and we went to the station where they started demanding for 20 thousand naira that my vehicle papers were expired. I had an important appointment and had to give them 5000 naira to let me go. Calling on the public to continue to expose them. I made a mistake not to take pictures.

This happened to me as well at Ikeja underbridge. The female police woman is lightskinned right?
She was even able to get me cause some of my papers had expired without me knowing. She demanded for money.

May Allah grant Buhari good health.

It's quite unfortunate that we Muslims still have loads of work to do in matters of showing more love to people in difficulties and propagating Islam.

May God not afflict us with difficultiies/trials that will make us renounce our faith.

Some men have greed in their eyes. No matter how many women they marry they would still want more from outside.

You have to understand that not every one who claims to be an Alhaji even prays the regular 5 times prayer talk less of obeying the command of Allah.

Allah who is the creator of the heaven and earth knows that man is indeed weak and knows there are way more women than men in this world. That is why He permitted men to marry more than one wife ONLY IF THEY CAN BE JUST to them all. But the reality is it's even harder to do justice to one woman not to talk of two or four.

Ahmed Musa you sighted as an example has a Muslim name but do you know if he follows the Islamic principles. So he left is Muslim wife to marry Juliet?

Polygamy I don't intend to practice but it is way better than cheating on your wife.

Some situations may arise in a marriage that necessitate a man to need to take a second wife even when he didn't plan that initially.

Self discipline and self control is key if you want to avoid cheating on your spouse.

Question:
1. Do you trust your wife?
2. Has your wife ever cheated on you?
3. Is your father an irresponsible person/low-life that you feel he has potentials to sleep with your wife?
4. If you can't trust you father in your house then the level of your insecurity is beyond limit.

Nigerians can insult sha!

Einl:
Nonsense.

How did it enter the country??

Wasn't it supposed to be confiscated at the border or ports?

You allowed it to enter the country and now you're making noise because you raided a warehouse.

How many have been sold??

Go and raid that.

SON is no longer at the port

SON needs to go back to the port

Police stopped me around Ikeja asking me for my tint permit. I confidently gave them the tint permit letter I got from the police office in Obalende.
Only to be informed that there's a new tint permit in town. That's how she told me to open the door and follow her to their station.

Mohammed was an Arab and Quran was revealed in Arabic as a guidance to the whole of mankind.


"All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

From the wisdom behind the revelation of the Quran in the Arabic language is that Arabic is the richest language and that it is the language of the Arabic peninsula, whose people were the first to be addressed by the Quran.

Az-Zarkashi may Allaah have mercy upon him said in Al-Bahr Al-Muheet:

“Allah sent down the Quran in the Arabic language; Allah says: {And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people.} [Quran 14:4] Ibn As-Sam’aani cited a good question, which is that the previous Prophets, may Allah exalt their mention, were sent to their own people, so it is for this reason that they were sent speaking their language. However, our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) was sent to all nations, but why is it that he was sent with the language of some of them [the Arabs]? The answer is, 'Either he sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) would have been sent with the language of all of them, which would have been unusual and abnormal; rather, this would have been most unlikely, and it is impossible that each word of the Quran be repeated in each language, so it had to be in only one language, and the Arabic language is most deserving of it, as it is the richest and most eloquent one and because it is the most suitable language for the addressees (the Arabs).”

Allah knows best."

I watched the documentary on Aljazeera, the boy was narrating the story how making graffiti on his school wall saying 'Dr, you are next' made the security agencies pick him and some of his friends up.
The parent and many in the community now protested for their release of which some protesters were shot dead and that was how the war spread.

You have spoken well.

Its quite unfortunate that immorality sells.

If there were likes of Achebe in the BBN house, the viewing rate of the show would decrease and most people won't spend their money voting.

If I read you correctly, it means; if a Nigerian is an overall first, he/she get $50k plus N25m; but if he/she is not overall first, but first among all Nigerian contestants, they get N25m?

First nigerian gets 1 million even if his overall position is 35th. But if a nigerian came first overall he gets $50k and N1m.
Check the attached table in comment page 1.

linearity:
Is this for real? Why the prize disparity between a Nigerian and Non Nigerian constant? E.g. For first prize a Non Nigerian take home $50,000 is more than N25m and they are giving a Nigerian a merger 1m?

Also, why is the prize money in dollars? Why boy Naira?

It's an international competition.
If a Nigerian came first overall he would be given the 50k dollars
But to encourage Nigerian participants that's why there's a section for Nigerians only
