lastpage:I love Jesus. I worship the one who created Jesus. The one who made Jesus talk from the cradle. The one who fed the mother of Jesus Mary. The one who in his infinite display of power created Adam from clay, Eve from Adam and you and I from our parents and to crown it all Jesus from only Mary. That in itself shows my God is able to do anything. My God is not a man. My God is the one who created the heavensame and the earth and rose above his throne in a manner that suits His mayesty. I can't praise Him and exalt hI'm enough. That is why I praised Him as he has praised Himself. |

imhotep:That is my opinion on the God I worship, you really free to give yours without giving insults because you didn't open my nairaland account for me sir. Thank you |
InvertedHammer:Your comment is irrelevant. I'm not the kind of person you can oppress with your mumbo-jumbo sentences. I stand firm and tell you Muslims are not in support of terrorism even though some few bad eggs maybe be within. If you like believe what I said and if you like you reject it, your opinion to me is irrelevant. Thank you. |
There is only one God that deserves to be worshipped. If the definition of what you worship doesn't fit all this description you have to research on the truth. 1. God is One 2. Absolute,Eternal 3. He begets not and wasn't begotten 4. There's nothing comparable to Him P.S For those Christians quoting me with insults. I love Jesus. But I worship the one who created Jesus. The one who made Jesus talk from the cradle. The one who fed the mother of Jesus Mary. The one who in his infinite display of power created Adam from clay, Eve from Adam and you and I from our parents and to crown it all Jesus from only Mary. That in itself shows my God is able to do all things. The God I worship does as he wills by His power and ability and decrees as he wants by His majesty and honour. My God is not a man. My God is the one who created the heavens and the earth and rose above his throne in a manner that suits His mayesty. I can't praise Him and exalt him enough. That is why I've praised Him as he has praised Himself. |
wiseoneking:Mr man your statement is irrelevant and nothing but blabbing. Educate your ignorance on islam and stop chatting rubbish. Mohammed is a man that could not read or write. The reason why God made it so is because people like you would claim he stole information from christianity and judaism. I love Jesus more than you. I don't worship him but the God who created him and Muhammed, the God of Abraham, Isaac Moses and Jacob. God is one without father , mother or children. Jesus is not God and he is coming back to rule the world by God's permission. You need to read and understand because you feel your way is the true way. |
samplegirl:Go and learn islam. And stop displaying ignorance. Get a Quran and read yourself. Because your aim is to look for someone to argue with. Go to the source. Read the English Quran like a novel and tell me where murder is permissible I am a muslim aswell and I read the Quran , I'm not a terrorist aswell as millions of muslims out there. Peace onto you |
samplegirl:Perhaps you are right. Their logic maybe based on ignorance as you just displayed. Nothing like promised virgins for people who do evil. |
Bsc:Not logical. If the person is a murderer and found guilty he can be killed in the court if law. That's what guilty means |
Alezy:It is for you to think about and research about. There is more to life than that which meets the eyes. My own opinion is: Every one was created to submit to God alone without associating partners in worship with him and all the prophets of God did this from Adam , Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus down to Mohammed. The all preached the worship of One God and indicated the worst sin is to ascribe partner in worship of God. Satan is still around would want people to be losers and hereby comitting great sins that would make them ascribe partners with God whether directly or indirectly. This is why Satan is creating mischief by ensuring people misinterprete the scripture and make people develop evil grudges towards islam. |
[quote author=1stdammy post=40034117][/quote]I also want to ask when someone is comitting fornication and the girl is screaming 'Oh my God' or 'Jesus' who is she calling on? Calling someone's name doesn't justify the person being in support of the evil they are committing. |
Benoxvals:I said innocent cause there are times when lives can be taken by appropriate authority. Like in the case of armed robber or murderers |
Alezy:I understand my religion to the limit even though im not a scholar. True scholars have been victims because they spoke the truth about islam even tbough I understand your point of view. Do remember that Muslims and Christians are usually victims of the terror attacks which doesn't discriminate religion when the people are killed. We are in the end times like I said and different things are happening which would want to either trigger people to learn about islam or trigger them to hate islam. |
Adaeze003:Infidels you say? Did you bother thinking if they asked who was muslim and who is Christian at the point of their terror? Both muslims and Christians were victims and you are here claiming infidel? Terrorism has no religion. And stop saying muslims blabble, educate yoirself on the true message of islam before pointing accusing fingers. It's forbidden For us to commit fornication yet most people do both Christian and Muslims doesn't mean they are not Muslim or Christian but the issue is if they truely follow what God said. |
God help us cause we are in the end times. ISIS and Boko Haram don't know what they are fighting for because myself and many other muslims don't support what they are fighting for. Killing of innocent people is forbidden. P.S To the poster below me, I'll advise you learn about Islam from genuine source because some misguided people are comitting evil with the name of islam doesn't mean islam and muslims are in support. I know you have muslim friends who you trust even more than some Christian friends. Terrorism has no religion. Both muslims and Christians are victims of casualties. Now tell me who are they fighting for since they are killing their muslim brothers and sisters if they were true muslims? |
It's a welcome development |
The policy is too harsh on BDC operators. |
Diamond ring |
tellwisdom:Even though we don't get what the OP is insinuating, the insult is uncalled for. You just confirmed your wisdom level. |
It has been paid |
Ma Sha Allah May Allah make it easy for us all. |
Ponmo. Why would it be imported in the first place. And if it is to be imported, there has to be an acceptable standard for the ones to be eaten and the ones in making products. Even though I don't like eating Ponmo I think adequate measure has to be taken by resturant owners and citizens with immediate effect as to where they source their ponmo |
Nina4u:You also need to study further aswell because you only see what you want to see. If you want to see the bad side of Islam you would easily see it from bad muslims and explanation of hate from people who don't like islam. And if I want to bring out things in Christianity that I don't like it is easy for me. But remember there are millions of muslims who also follow Islam and are as peaceful, loving and caring as God wants then to be. You can't deny having muslim friends that are very nice and not evil. Humans generally are either good or evil. Some would use religion and some part of scripture they don't fully understand to justify doing evil. God is One. The absolute,the eternal. He begets not neither was he begotten. And there is nothing comparable to Him. If the defination of who you worship doesnt tally with the above then you need to research more aswell. |
Nina4u:Even if you see the truth you wouldn't acknowledge it. May God guide us all to the straight path. Peace be unto you. |
Nina4u:. (#DrZakirNaik): Regarding the first question that – why is Polygamy allowed for the male, and not for the woman?…Why is a man allowed to do Polygamy? Polygamy means, a man having more than one spouse… more than one wife. Polyandry, is the woman having more than one husband. In fact if you analyse, Qur’an is the only religious Scripture on the face of the earth, that says…‘Marry only one’ it’s shocking. Qur’an is the only religious Scripture on the face of the earth, that says…Marry only one. If you read the Ramayana, if you read the Vedas, if you read the Bible, other Scriptures….No Scripture says… Marry only one, except the Holy Qur’an. In fact, if you read the Scripture of the Christians, their saint Soloman, had hundreds of wives – Abraham had more than one wife…the Bible says, three wives. Even the Hindu Scriptures, they had several wives… the father of Rama… King Dashrata – he had more than one wife.The Holy Qur’an is the religious Scripture which says that…Marry only one. It says in Surah Nisa Ch. No. 4, V. No. 3, Marry woman of your choice, in twos, threes or fours. But if you cannot do justice, marry only one – Islam puts an upper limit. In other ways of life, you can marry as many as you want – no upper limit. Islam puts on upper limit, of maximum four. But you can marry, only if you can do justice. If you can’t do justice, marry only one. And the Qur’an says in Surah Nisa, Ch. No. 4, V. No. 129, that… It is difficulty to do justice between your wives. So don’t altogether turn away from them. It is nowhere mentioned, that if you marry more than one wife, you get more blessings. No where its mentioned – Its optional. So, why has Islam given permission to marry more than one wife. The reason is that, Islam has given permission because…if you analyse the birth rate of male and female… they are approximately equal. But if you ask any pediatrician… a doctor of the children, he will tell you that…The female child can fight the germs and the disease, much better than a male child. They are the stronger sex medically – so there are more death rate in the males, than the female children. When you grow up, there are accidents taking place, wars taking place, more men die than women. If you analyze the statistics of the world, India is one of the few countries, in which the female population, is less than the male population. You know why?… Because there is the answer given in BBC…a television programme “Let her die”, by the title… assignment Emilly Beckhenen, a Britisher. She came and said…according to the statistics…Every day, more than 3000 feticides are been aborted, after they are identified as female. According to a government hospital report, of Tamil Naidu…Out of ten born alive, four are put to death…female children. Islam prohibits female infeticide , in Surah Al Takurr, Ch. 87, Verse 8 and 9. In fact, Qur’an says in Surah Isra, Ch. 17, Verse 31, as well as in Surah Anam, Ch. 6 Verse 151 , Kill not your children for want of sustenance , for it is Allah who will give…who will give sustenance, to you and your children. It is prohibited in Islam…even if its male or female. So because of this…that the male population is more in India. If you stop this evil practice of female infeticide and female infeticide…even in India, within a few decades, the female will be more. If you know the statistics of America… in America alone, there are 7 to 8 million more females than the males – in New York alone, there are one million more females than males. Out of the population of New York, 1/3rd are Gays. Gays, means Sodomites, Kaume – Looth… who can’t find female partners. There are more than 25 million Gays, in America. If you analyse the statistics, there are more than 30 million females in America, who can’t find husbands. In U.K. alone, there are more than 4 million females, as compared to males – Germany alone, there are more than 5 million females, more than male – Russia alone, there are more than 7 million more females, than the male. And almighty God alone knows, that how many millions females, are more in the world, than the males. If I agree with the customs, the religious Scriptures, put no upper limit – You marry as many as you want. If you believe into the customs of the other ways of life, that… You should marry only one – and if my sister happens to live in America, and suppose the market is saturated – every man has got a wife for himself. Yet, there will be 30 million females, who won’t be able to find husbands. If my sister happens to be one of those unfortunate ladies, who has got not married, living in America – the only option remaining for her is… she either marries a man who already has a wife, or become public property – There no third option. And I have asked this question, to modest people… That what would you prefer for your sister?…Would you prefer your sister, marry a man who already has a wife, or become a public property. All the modest people said that…We will choose the first one, when required. If you can get a man who has got no wife, then grab him…No problem. Regarding the second part of the question, that why can’t the Muslim women, be allowed to marry more than one husband? The reason is that of you analyze if a man has more than one wife , you can identify father as well as the mother. But if a woman has more than one husband…you can identify the mother, but not the father. There are today…researches today done, that you can have genetic coding and blood testing, which can identify. May be possible…which is accepted by the court of law …I have got no objections . That is one of the reason, may be for the past. These one other reasons, that a man is more sexual than a woman, biologically. And if a man has more than one partner…more than one wife, there are no problems of sexual disease. But if a woman is having more than one husband, then there are chances of Veneral disease, more chance of AIDS, more chance of general diseases. That’s the reason, why Islam does not allow polyendry. Hope that answers. Birth control is a very low. Birth control means… Birth control, is a word used by every one… should follow this, by hook or by crook. Like, India takes out a law…Hum Do, Hamare Do… Ek Ke Baad, Abhi Nahi – Do Ke Baad, Kabhi Nahi. See irrespective of rich and poor, if my parents would have done family planning, I wouldn’t have been here. I am the fifth child of my parent – I wouldn’t have been in front of you. So birth control is not allowed in Islam. Birth control is for every one – whether you are rich or poor… you follow. Regarding family planning, there are do’s and dont’s – For that, you can refer to my Video casette – Qur’an and Modern Science – its given there… it’s a long answer. Hope that answers your question |
Nina4u:You have to acknowledge that the creator knows better than we could know. The punishment the of hand cutting is a punishment the ordained by God and it has to fulfill some conditions under Sharia before it is carried out. If thieves out there know that their hands would be cut off after stealing they won't dare to. If it a preventive measure not a corrective measure. It would thereby reduce theft to its minimal. Marrying more that one wife is a measure to stop adultry, aid divorced people, widows and many more. It didn't just happen. Abraham had more than one wife. And like the Quranic text says If you can't treat them justly Marry just one. |
Nina4u:The Qur'an states: "And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may live in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between you; Verily, in that are signs for people who reflect." (Surah 30:21) Marriage is therefore not just a physical or emotional necessity, but in fact, a sign from God! It is a relationship of mutual rights and obligations based on divine guidance. God created men and women with complimentary natures, and in the Qur'an, He laid out a system of laws to support harmonious interaction between the sexes. Islam has made a good wife the best treasure a man can have in his life, after belief in Allah and following His commands. She is considered the key to happiness. According to the Hadith, the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, told `Umar, “shall I tell you the best a man can treasure? It is a good wife. If he looks at her, she gives him pleasure; if he orders her, she obeys; and if he is away from her, she remains faithful to him". (Transmitted by Abu Dawud in the authority of Ibn Abbas in "Zakat 2/1664; Al-Hakim who amended it 2/333, approved by Al-Dhahaby.) The Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, said, "The world is delightful and its greatest treasure is a good woman". ( Transmitted by Muslim on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Amr (1467) He also said, "Whoever is granted a good wife, he is helped to follow half his religion, let him obey God in the second haIf". (Transmitted by Hakim who amended it on the authority of Anas 2/161, approved by Al-Dhahaby and reiterated by Al-Munzery in Inducing and Intimidating (Al-Targheeb wal-Tarheeb). See The Selected (Al-Muntaqa) 111101. It is also related to Al-Tabrany in Al-Awsat as well as Al-Hathamy in AI-Majmu' 41272. Abd Ar-Rahman did not know the transmitter on the authority of Anas, Al-Hakim knew it was Al-Oqba Al-Azraqi, reiterated by Al-Dhahaby and mentioned by Al-Albany in The Authentic Traditions - 625). Below are some of the wives’ rights in Islam such as: 1. The first of her rights is the choice of her husband. A woman is not to be forced to marry a man without her acceptance. There is a known story of a woman who went to the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, complaining that her father forced her to marry a man she did not want to marry. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, refused that entirely. He allowed her to have a divorce, but the woman said that she then agreed to what her father did and said that she came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, not to complain from her husband but to make every woman know that nobody is allowed to force them to marry who they did not want. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Marriage (Wedlock), Book 62, Number 67: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! The virgin can be shy, How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission)." 2. The dower. Islam obliges the man to give to the woman as a symbol of his desire, in marrying her and of wanting her. Allah says: "And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure remit a part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allah has made it lawful)" ( Surah 4:4) The expression "with a good heart" signifies the dower as a gift and is not a price or in return for the pleasure he gets from her, as some people have insisted. 3. The wife is financially independent from the husband. Islam has protected woman’s independent personality and ensured her full capability to be financially independent from her husband. 4. Muslim women have the right to earn money, own property, to enter into legal contracts and to manage all of her assets in any way she pleases. She can run her own business and no one has any claim on her earnings including her husband. The Quran states: "and in no wise covet those things in which Allah hath bestowed his gifts more freely on some of you than on others: to men is allotted what they earn and to woman what they earn: but ask Allah of his bounty for Allah hath full knowledge of all things." (4:32) This was clear in the house of Prophethood itself where Mother of the Believers, Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, who had a very successful trade. Before she married the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he managed her trade successfully which was their first introduction to one another. After the marriage and after Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, started the call for Islam, He never asked his wife Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, to spend any money for Islam however she voluntarily spent lots of her money whenever she felt that it is for the benefit of Islam 5. The husband is financially fully responsible for his wife. Poor or rich, her living costs are estimated in proportion to her husband's financial ability. The Qur'an puts it thus:" Let the rich man spend according to his means". (Surah 65:7). He is obliged to provide her with food, clothes, a place to live and medical treatment according to his environment, conditions and income. Muslim scholars said that if a man does not support his wife financially then she has the right for a divorce. The Prophet, greetings and peace be upon him, said stating the rights of women, "You are obliged to provide them with food and clothes honourably". Honourably here means what is conventional according to people of faith and honour, without extravagance or meanness. ( Transmitted by Abu Dawud (1905); Ibn Majah (3074); Al-Doramy in Kittab Al-Mannish p.440 on the authority of Jabber; Ahmad 5/73 on the authority of Abu Gara Al-Raqashi's uncle.) 6. Living with them honorably, this includes respect her and pay attention to her needs, never ever reveal the secrets of the household and those of the married couple. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said that the best charity (sadaqa) is that spent on one's wife, patience and forgiveness in the case of disagreement or dispute, and not rush to divorce, good manners, sweet words, a smiling face, a pleasing playfulness and an amusing mien, etc. The Prophet, greetings and peace be upon him, said, "The most faithful believers are the best in manners and the most gentle of their own people".(Transmitted by Al-Termithy on the authority of Abu Huraira - 1162) Ibn Hibban transmitted on the authority of Aisha that the Prophet said, "The best of you is he who is the best to his family, and I am the best to my family". 124 (Transmitted by Ibn Hibban Charity (El-Ehsan) Vol. 9 (4177) The actual biography of the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, has proved his gentleness towards his people, his excellent conduct with his wives, to the extent that he used to help them with their housekeeping. The extent of his playfulness is shown when he raced Aisha twice; she won the race once and he won the second time. He then said, "This for that". 7. Islam placed lots to limitations to free the society from fornication where women are treated as just a means of pleasure. Islam placed a severe penalty on those who commit such a guilt. The punishment was equal for both men and women who were proved to commit this Lewdness. At the same time Islam protected the woman from being accused unjustly of such a crime. That’s why Islam assured the need for four witnesses to prove fornication. Also in Islam those who (unjustly without witnesses) accuse a woman of fornication must be punished by whipping 80 whips, not accepting his testimony again that all beside his punishment in judgment day. “And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fasiqun (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allah). “ (Surah An-Nur:4) 8. The husband is not to stay away from his wife or keep his wife in a state of suspense, whether at home or abroad, for a protracted period of time except with her consent. Allah said: "Turn not away (from your wife) altogether, so as to leave her hanging. If you come to a friendly understanding and practice self-restraint, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Merciful" (4:129). Protracted separation (6 months or more in the Shafi`i school) without prior or subsequent arrangement with the wife, whether the husband is away willingly or unwillingly (for example due to war, imprisonment, or illness) is sufficient grounds for her to obtain divorce from the judge. 9. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not beat your wife." He also said: "Do not strike your wife in the face." The expiation for striking one's slave in the face is to set him or her free on the spot, but what expiation is there for striking one's wife? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, condemned the man who beats his wife in the day and then approaches her at night. And to beat her to the extent of inflicting serious injury is enough grounds for her to obtain divorce from the judge. Wife beating in Islam will be further discussed later. 10. Caring for one's wife's sexual fulfillment is an obligation of religion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against rushing to gratify one's pleasure and forgetting that of one's wife. He also disliked that the husband should quickly withdraw from his wife afterwards, as it is a strain upon the wife. If she asks for intercourse, he should not refuse. 11. He must control his passions and act in a moderate manner especially in the context of sexual intercourse. Remember that Allah has placed between you and her "intimacy and mercy", not the gratification of your every lust; and that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised young men to marry "because it casts down the gaze and walls up the genitals," not in order to stimulate sexual passions. The husband should habitually seek refuge in Allah before approaching his wife and say: "O Allah, ward off the Satan from us and ward him off from what you have bestowed upon us in the way of children". Allah has called each spouse a garment for the other “They are your garments and you are their garments." (2:187), and the purpose of garments is decency. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, further said that he who marries for the sake of decency and modesty, Allah has enjoined upon Himself to help him. 12. The woman has the right to work provided that her work does not make her ignore her main job as a wife and a mother. While maintenance of a home, providing support to her husband, and bearing, raising and teaching of children are among the first and very highly regarded roles for a woman, if she has the skills to work outside the home for the good of the community, she may do so as long as her family obligations are met. Islam’s view for work is both realistic and fair. For both men and women work is allowed provided that this work is suitable and the person is efficient enough. Islam’s view did not ignore the nature of both men and women. Islam did not overlook the psychological and biological nature of men and women regarding work. For example it would be strange to allow a woman to work in a mine (a job in which a man is more fitting) while a man would stay at home and take care of the kids (a job in which a woman is more efficient). That is the main foundation upon which a woman is allowed to work. It is important here to mention that her work should not make her ignore her main role as a wife or as a mother. As an example lots of women reported Hadiths (Prophet’s sayings) and Islamic scholars accept these hadiths. Lots of Muslim women worked in the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, some even fought with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in wars like Umm Umara, may Allah be pleased with her, who fought with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the battle of Uhud. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was encouraging her during the fight and would tell her : “Who could endure what you endure Umm Umara” During the time of Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, a lady, Al Shafa bint Abdullah Ibn abd-Shams, was assigned the position of official business transactor/manager of the market of Medina... 13. The woman has the right to keep her family name after marriage 14. The wife has the right to inherit her husband according to the rules of inheritance in Islam 15. Even the divorced woman has the following rights: a. Islam states that when a man divorces his wife, he must pay her the delayed dowry agreed upon in the marriage contract, in addition to the expense of her maintenance of food, drink and living quarters for a certain period of time, known as the "iddat". The husband is legally and religiously charged with his children's financial maintenance, and for wet nurses to breast feed them. If their mother breast feeds them herself, the father has to give the divorced mother compensation for her nursing as is stated in the following Quranic verse "And if they suckle your (offspring) give them their recompense " (Surah LXV, verse 6). b. Islam states that after a husband divorces his wife once, he is given two options, one of which is to restore his wife during her " iddat " or period of waiting which is approximately three months for a wife who is not pregnant. The wife's return to her husband in this case needs no legal procedure and is valid as soon as the husband utters the words "I have restored my wife", or words to that effect. In order to encourage a husband to restore his divorced wife, Islam states that she lives in her marital home during her period of waiting. This is stated in the following Quranic verse "O Prophet When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately) their prescribed periods and fear God your Lord and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness" (Surah LXV, verse 1). Three times are the maximum number of times a man can divorce his wife and restore her during her “Idaat” period. After that he is not allowed to restore her until she marries another man if her new marriage comes to an end (by divorce or husband’s death) and in this case he will have to pay her a dower again. This is considered a punishment for the man who utters the word of divorce so easily on the slightest argument. Unfortunately this behavior exists in some Islamic countries to the extent that people invented the so called (Muhalel) i.e. a man would hire a man to marry his wife for a night then divorce her in the morning so that he can marry her again…of course this deceitful behaviour is totally refused and condemned by Islam and the marriage in this case is considered not valid. c. The Imam Malik related that during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him, Abdullah, the son of Omar ben Al Khattab divorced his wife during her menstrual period, and Omar asked the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, his opinion on the matter. He told Omar that his son must restore his wife until her menstrual course be terminated and she purifies herself from it then to wait till she purifies herself from the following menstrual course, after which he can divorce her or restore her (Authentic Traditions of the Prophet by Al Bukhari and Muslim, through Malik.). i.e. In Islam a man is not allowed to divorce his wife during her menstrual course because during this period women suffer physically and emotionally which can make her easily provoked. d. The laws of financial support for the divorced wife and her children, the custody of the children, financial support during the period of waiting, financial maintenance for nursing the children are all in the divorced woman's favour and this is verified by the following Quranic verses : "When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their (Iddat), either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them, (or) to take undue advantage ; if any one does that, he wrongs his own soul. Do not treat God's Signs as a jest, but solemnly rehearse God's favours on you, and the fact that He sent down to you The Book and Wisdom for your instruction. And fear God, and know that God is well acquainted with all things. When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their (Iddat), do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms. This instruction is for all amongst you, who believe in God, and the Last Day. That is (the course making for) most virtue and purity amongst you. And God knows and ye know not." ( Surah II, verses 231-232) Also : "O Prophet ! When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately) their prescribed periods and fear God your Lord : and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness ; those are limits set by God : and any who transgresses the limits of God, does verily wrong his (own) soul : thou knowest not if perchance God will bring about thereafter some new situation. Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms ; ..." ( Surah LXV, verses 1-2) Also : "Let the women live (In Iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your ) on them until they deliver their burden and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense : and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf ". (Surah LXV, verse 6) Also : "But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if you had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, take not the least bit of it back would ye take it by slander and a manifest wrong ? And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant ?" (Surah IV, verses 20-21) A wife can stipulate in her marriage contract that the right of divorce be in her hand and her husband agrees to the condition, she has the right to divorce her husband according to some schools of jurisprudence with certain provisions. Also if there is a breach of one of the terms stipulated by the wife in the marriage contract. If the husband is responsible for this breach, certain schools of jurisprudence consider this sufficient to legalize the divorce, provided that the term stipulated does not violate the basic elements of marital life or the laws ordained by God Almighty.

Nina4u:Which part of the Quran mistreat women? There's a difference between being given something as a guide by God and we humans following it as God instructed. The problem is not with Islam it is with some Muslims. |
Because you do not understand Arabic doesn't justify him not being a prophet. The Gospel was revealed to Jesus in a language you don't understand. The bible you read today is translations. You said miracles makes one sent from God? The ability to read without having learnt how to read is a miracle from what you have written. And Yes he was sent by God. |
arabianights:Like I said it's his money and he has made his own impact to the economy of Nigeria. It's not until he fixes all Lagos road before you say he has made an impact. I believe he helps people but you can't possibly help everyone and he doesn't need to blow his trumpet that he is helping people. We are in a country that even the government is struggling to help it's citizen. So before you start feeling "intelligent" you have to acknowledge that he earned his money and if he helps Lagosians it is for his own good and if he decides to help Somalians it is surely his money. |
Orikinla:He has created jobs for the youth thereby reducing unemployment to a limit. He is a businessman and it's not his duty to help people against his will. It's not a crime to be rich. |
Big Gbese! This supermarket is just next street from my work place. I would have gone to buy their amazing shawama today if I wasn't full. Arguably one of the best supermarkets in Lagos gone up in flames just like that! I hope they have insurance. May God help the owner of the business in enduring such a huge loss. |
