Is it not haram to allow a dhimmi in the mosque?

It is not haram as it was practiced in day of prophet Muhammad ( saw) attended to some yahudi in madinah. He even allowed them to do their worshipping then. though they were visitors from another town

Federal Government on Friday in Abuja
signed a $250m joint venture/partnership
agreement with a United Kingdom-based
company, Menasat Gulf Group Plc, to provide
Synthetic-Aperture Radar satellites in the
country.
When operational, the SAR satellite technology
will be the first of its kind in Nigeria. Images
generated from it will benefit oil and gas
operators, farmers, among others.
It will also be used for ocean monitoring,
tracking of oil pipelines and also military
activities.
The Director-General, National Space Research
and Development Agency, Dr. Seidu Mohammed,
while signing the contract, said the SAR
technology was necessary for Nigeria because of
the challenges the agency had faced in acquiring
images in mostly the southern part of the
country.
“We have always had this constraint that even
though we are the national repository for satellite
images, we are not able to provide completely all
the required images in this country. In the light
of that, we have specially taken this opportunity
to satisfy the Nigerian market”, he said.
According to the NSRDA DG, the Federal
Government will contribute its expertise and
make a place available to enable the firm set up
a ground-saving station and equipment which
will process and make the images available for
Nigerians.
The Managing Director, Menasat, Dr. Hani Salem,
said the company chose to invest in Nigeria
because of its solid foundation, capacity and
advancement in the earth observation satellite
sector.
He said, “We have a very important and solid
foundation to build on in Nigeria for this
technology; that is why we are here. The first
satellite plan is expected to be completed by
2020 and will cost $250m.”
Salem said the satellite, being the first in Africa,
was an advanced step for Nigeria. He noted that
it would have an impact on the technological
development of the country.
According to him, the project will commence with
the development of a data centre in a couple of
months, training of the Nigerian team, direct
receiving station and lastly, have the radar
satellite in space.

so much wahala for the illiterate terrorist Daura President gworo chewing bastard burukutu sipping gorilla Buhari

confusion shall be your portion till the last day of your Hopless miserable life.

Hopless cow Daura President the bastard kunu sipping monkey


Buhari is a terrorist - Elrufai

And as you wish for him, so shall it be for you. point one finger to somebody and the rest 9 fingers shall be yours insha Allah.

Threat? Does that one exist? Who is Nnamdi Kanu? Does he own a private jet? Does he have a property in Asokro village or is he a popular comedian?

If he doesn't fit to all this category he is a no body.

Does shekau has a private jet or house in Asokoro village? He (shekau) was nobody then, but now.........

AlBaqir:
First, must you marry any of those men? You can can get a rightful man with prayer and patience.
"Allah does not place burden on any soul..." (Quran)

Second, it is haram for a muslimah to marry a non- Muslim man. No doubt you will lose your iman ( faith and belief). In Islamic sharia, only a Muslim man can marry a non-muslim ( christian or jew only) even at this stage, he cannot force the woman to convert to Islam. She's free to practice her religion. But there's always the danger of the faith of their issues.

Third, you have a choice to make. Can you cope being second wife? Absolutely its your choice and there is no reward whatsoever for being second wife. Its however full of unimaginable challenges.

Lastly, Istikhara is of no use here. Those who keep on advising on Istikhara, though meant good for you, but do not understand the concept of al-Istikhara.

While there are various type of Istikhara, in this case and similar issues, you are expected to use your God- given aql ( intellect) first to seek solution. If you can't find solution, then Islam enjoin you to consult people of wisdom and vast experience for advice. If yet, no solution, only then you can perform Istikhara.

Note, istikhara is not a form of future- teller. I do not wish to go further on Istikhara not to derail this thread.

wa salam alaikum.

salaam;
I will be totally disagree with you for saying istikhara is of no use in this issue" yes it is of important use in seeking Allah's guidance in any kind endeavor you want to embark upon. Though istikhara is not future or fortune teller as you said but, seeking guidance for mind for Almighty Allah that know it all. please you can consult the dual istikhara itself and understand the meaning of its content. No one can know more than our beloved teacher Muhammad (s.a.w) He is the one enjoined us to do istikhara.
maasalam

No excuses, GEJ inherited a dilapidated infastructure nationwide, he did not complain but got down to work.


Buhari must not disappoint or go back on his words.


We are not afraid to call u a liar and cakll for your impeachment, if you do.

you are saying rubbish, do you know how much Jonathan inherited from yaradua

Following the collapse of the
Roman Empire at the
beginning of the 5th century
man’s concern was primarily
focused upon security and
stability, whilst art and science
were neglected. For two
hundred years all progress
stagnated in the wake of
barbarian invasions and the
resulting lack of maintenance
of public works, such as dams,
aqueducts and bridges. With
the advent of Islam in the 7th
century a new type of society
emerged, which quickly
established its supremacy and
its constructive identity in
large sections of the known
world. The citizen, whether
Muslim or not, soon became
confident in the future stability
of his environment, so that
trade not only reached its
previous levels but also began
to expand.
In an empire that stretched
from the Pyrenees to India,
security of communications
was vital. The resultant priority
given to safety of travel
provided a stimulus to trade.
There followed a rapid
expansion of commerce in
which the economic strengths
of the Sassanid (1) , Byzantine,
Syrian and western
Mediterranean areas were
united. The establishment of
an efficient fiscal system
meant that the state could
now invest in large public
works projects: mosques,
schools ( madrasas), public
baths, palaces, markets and
hospitals. Princes and
merchants became patrons of
intellectual and scientific
development. Trusts ( waqf)
were created to provide better
education.
This sponsorship engendered a
creative enthusiasm and a
flowering of scientific works
and scholarly research. The
world in effect became greater
as mathematicians,
geographers, astronomers and
philosophers all contributed to
a gradual but definite
extension of the horizons of
man’s existence. The dividend
of all this expenditure on
learning made an immense
contribution to the sum of the
increase in man’s scientific
knowledge that occurred
between the 9th and the 16th
centuries.
Foremost in the achievements
of Muslim scholars was the
treatment of numbers. It is
impossible to conceive how
science could have advanced
without a sensible logical
numeric system to replace the
clumsy numerals of the Roman
Empire. Fortunately, by the 9th
century the Muslim world was
using the Arabic system of
numerals with the essential
addition of the zero. Without
the latter, it was impossible to
know what power of ten
accompanied each digit. Hence
2 3 might mean 23, 230 or
203. The introduction of this
numeric system with its zero
was thus the ‘sesame’ of
scientific advancement.
The new numeric system did
not only affect science. Its
value was manifest in many
aspects of daily life, from the
calculation of customs dues,
taxes, almsgiving ( zakat) and
transport charges, to the
complexity of divisions of
inheritance. A further useful
innovation was the mine of
separation in fractions, which
eliminated many frustrating
confusions.
Islamic civilization produced
from roughly 750 CE to 1450
CE a succession of scientists,
astronomers, geographers and
mathematicians from the
inventor of Algebra to the
discoverer of the solution of
quadratic equations. (2) The
list is far reaching, some are
well known whilst others
remain anonymous. One of the
major advances was contained
in the work of Al-Khawarizmi,
(3) who wrote a mathematical
work called “Al-Jabr wa Al-
Muqabala” (820 CE), (4) from
whose title is derived the name
“algebra”, this book may be
considered the first book
written on the topic of algebra.
Amongst the achievements
that Al Khawarizmi left to
posterity were: (1) Solutions to
first and second-degree
equations with a single
unknown, using both algebraic
and geometric methods. (2) A
method of algebraic
multiplication and division.
Al Khawarizmi(5) defined three
kinds of quantities: (1) Simple
numbers, such as 5, 17 and
131. (2) The root which is the
unknown quantity ‘shay’ in
Arabic meaning “a thing”
However, in translations made
in Toledo, (the centre for
translation of Arabic books),
the absence of a “sh ” sound in
the Spanish language meant
that a suitable letter had to be
chosen. The choice fell upon
“x”, which may well explain
why Don Quixote is often
pronounced as “Don Quishote”.
(3) “Wealth” (mal) the square
of the root (x²).
The algebraic equation
expressing the Golden Ratio
could therefore be written as:
“x:y = (x + y)/x”. Another
virtuoso of algebra was Abu
Kamil, a 10th century
mathematician nicknamed the
“Egyptian calculator”. He was
capable of rationalizing
denominators in expressions
that involved dealing with
powers of x (the unknown) as
high as the eighth and solving
quadratic equations with
irrational numbers as
coefficients. Al Biruni (9th/10th
centuries) mathematician and
physicist, worked out that the
earth rotates on its own axis
and succeeded in calculating
its circumference. Abu Bakr Al
Karaji (10th century) is known
for his arithmetization of
algebra. (6) He also drew the
attention of the Muslim world
to the intriguing properties of
triangular arrays of numbers
(Berggren 1983). Al Nasawi
(10th century) and Kushyar Ibn
Labban worked on problems of
the multiplication of two
decimals. Subsequently
Kushyar explained the
arithmetic of decimal addition,
subtraction and multiplication
and also how to calculate
square roots. Abu Al Hassan al
Uqlidisi (Damascus 10th
century) invented decimal
fractions, which proved useful
for judges ( qadis) in
inheritance decisions. Al Karkhi
(d.1019) found rational
solutions to certain equations
of a degree higher than two.
Mohamed Al Battani(7)
(Baghdad 10th century),
mathematician and
astronomer, computed sine,
tangent and cotangent tables
from 0° to 90° with great
accuracy. One of his works:
Astronomical Treatise and
Tables (Al-Zij), corrected
Ptolemy’s observations on the
motion of the planets. Al
Samaw’al Ben Yahya al
Maghribi (1171) drew up
charts of computations of long
division of polynomials; one of
the best contributions to the
history of mathematics. Ibn
Shatir Al Muwaqqit (Damascus
1375 CE) was an astronomer
and the timekeeper of the
Damascus mosque. His
treatise on making
astronomical devices and their
usage and his book on
celestial motions bear great
resemblance to the works of
Copernicus (1473-1543 CE).
Ghiyat al Din al Kashi (1427
CE) raised computational
mathematics to new heights
with the extraction of fifth
roots. He also showed how to
express the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to its
radius as
6.2831853071795865, identical
to the modern formula 2pr.

Nyc one....cant wait 4 dem 2 acquire d F16 fighter jet

F-35 or Su-24 will be okay

Is like some people here do reason with there feet not with brains. If this is not control now would it not escalate into another thing when you will now blaming president for not taking action. If this has been done to boko haram in the north by otuoke man it wouldn't have reach this stage.

hen dey sweat na d feather no let see am. PMB on returning from Niger without living airport held another meeting. well Mr. President

what you forgot is that Nigeria military is still developing where there is lack of efficient communication for the coordination of attack. so, in this kind asymetrical warfare which is the different from the conventional warfare. there is no way you can attack from air without causing civilian casualties. therefore, there is need for proximity. more so, pls search Nigeria military strategy compare it with USA.
