AbdulSleeky:What's the correlation? ![]() At least, I DON'T: -have many monickers to troll religion for 8+ years. -find my source of happiness on a faceless forum. -pose as the opposite sex just to seek attention. Take away Nairaland from your life, what's left?! Emptiness?! The same Islamic section that is dead is the same section you keep opening threads and posing as an ex-Muslim! Even, with the "dead Islamic section", it is still the sole purpose of your happiness and joy! Attention craving is your food and Oxygen! ![]() |
Empiree:Lol, you should have been used to his numerous monickers na. |
![]() Jazakumullah khairan for this akhee. You just sum up the reasoning of these folks. They're not different, same questions with surface dressing. May Allah plant our feet firm |
whitelotus:Your buddy or yourself? ![]()

Excel70:Wa alaykum salaam warahmatulah wabarakatuh akhee. Surah Al-Anfal, Verse 40: وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلَاكُمْ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your Maula (Patron, Lord, Protector and Supporter, etc.), (what) an Excellent Maula, and (what) an Excellent Helper! Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 78: وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ هُوَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَٰذَا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِاللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلَاكُمْ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ And strive hard in Allah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Quran), that the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper! |
Rilwayne001: ![]() LAUTECH of all schools?! The school is looking like a polytechnic self |
alphaNomega:Only the owner can answer that. |
alphaNomega:Nairaland was hacked and lost most of the threads (like two or three years sha). There wasn't backup for that duration. |
whitelotus: Yawns |
whitelotus:Please stop spamming my mentions and stop lying too. Are you bored Logicboy? |
tintingz:Okay tintingz |
whitelotus:Okay Logicboy |
Rilwayne001:I have noticed that too, the obsession has led to something serious for him. He just seems to be jumping from one place to another. The pride in him won't make him take corrections, a product of ignorance and arrogance! |
tintingz:It is very obvious you lack comprehension skills. Where is gender mentioned in these ayahs? Is a pair restricted to genders? When I asked on the other thread if you were okay, you thought it is an insult. But truly, it seems you're not okay. You just wanna argue even when there is nothing to argue about. Rilwayne001 was right when he said your atheism wasn't borne out of reasoning or knowledge. (I once told you this too) What does "a pair" means? A set of two things used together or regarded as a unit. E.g. "a pair of gloves, a pair of shoes." So in your small brain, a pair of gloves/shoes means male and female glove/shoe abi? A pair can also mean two people or things related in some way or considered together. E.g. "A company run by a pair of brothers". Where does the definition limits it to GENDER ONLY? In the noble verses you quoted, where is gender pair mentioned?! When Allah says He created in pairs, it NEVER REFERS TO GENDER ONLY. Pairs can be of different forms, gender is just a form of a pair. Male and female are a pair, Black and white are a pair, short and tall are a pair, sweet and sour are a pair, slim and robust are a pair. Life and death are a pair, day and night are a pair and the examples are endless. We have sweet and bitter yams, they are a pair. Aren't they? There are sweet and sour oranges, aren't they a pair? Why were you thinking male and female only when arguing? It simply shows you aren't sincere. So I ask you once again where do you see GENDER pair mentioned in those ayahs? Afala taqilun? (Can't you think?) |
tintingz:I challenged you to point out where the Qur'an says EVERYTHING has a GENDER pair. Let's see how you're going goof as usual. |
Rilwayne001:The atmosphere isn't that high as compared to other Ramadan. Everything is just silent. Seriously, may Allah grant us succor and grant us goodness. |
Empiree:Those guys are clown. ��� ![]() I remembered when one of those Christians was debating Ustadh Adepoju and said that ustadh is ignorant of the Qur'an. He said the Qur'an commanded Muslims to be building churches. The ustadh was surprised and asked for evidence. The guy said "Have you not read in the Qur'an surah Qasas?" To him, Qasas means "kosoosi" which means to be building churches in English. Smh lol ![]() |
tintingz:Are you okay bro? |
Rilwayne001:I anticipate this though It is understandable, Rilwayne how far na?Empiree, Wa alaykum salaam warahmatulah wabarakatuh, we fully understand bro. May Allah safeguard you. Next one will be better in sha Allah. May Allah elongate our lives on goodness. |
tintingz:You aren't getting the point. Yes, science deals with experiments but your own knowledge of science is based on testimonial knowledge. Your knowledge of the world being a sphere is an example. This belief of yours is not based on mathematics or science. It is purely centred on testimony. You may say: “I have seen pictures”, “I have read it in science books”, “All my teachers told me”, “I can go on the highest mountain peak and observe the curvature of the Earth”, and so on. However, upon intellectual scrutiny, all of these answers fall under testimonial knowledge. Seeing pictures or images is testimonial because you have to accept the say-so of the authority or person who said it is an image of the world. Learning this fact from science textbooks is also due to testimonial transmission, as you have to accept what the authors say as true. This also applies when referring to your teachers. This source of knowledge and others like moral truths, logical and mathematical truths, science can't account for them. Yet, they are vital. tintingz:This is insinuating that science is static and experiments overtime will always yield the same results. This is wrong as regards science. All scientific theories are ‘work in progress’ and ‘approximate models’. There are things you don't understand about experiments in science. Experiments in science work on limited resources and they draw a general conclusion from it. Scientists heavily rely on inductive arguments to form conclusions about the data that they have observed. However, since all observations are limited or based on a particular set of observed data, then deriving a conclusion based on limited data will not be certain. Example, science tells us that pure water boils at 100°C, but it is based on inductive arguments cos they have NEVER tested every sources of pure water on earth. They simply concluded on the limited research they did. tintingz:As if he has seen it . Your belief of earth's curvature is purely testimonial, you are trusting other's people reports.tintingz:"Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." -Isaac Newton This is what I am telling you to do, look at things around you, how they are fashioned and created, look at your own creation and tell me that you happened by chance without any purpose. tintingz:Miracles belong to the Prophets of Allah to support their prophethood. Everyone can't do miracles as per Islam. The greatest miracle is the Qur'an. What we have now is charismata. It is an unusual event which Allah manifests through some of his Auliya for supporting a mundane or spiritual matter. tintingz:Lol, haven't you disputed many personal experience of people and accused them of suffering from schizophrenia? Didn't you accuse people of hallucinations and delusions when they said they spiritual encounter? If a sign should come to you now, with how you have rejected logical reasons in the past, you will certain reject the signs cos you're not sincere with yourself. The Qur'an says Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 14: وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ And even if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they were to continue ascending thereto, And what will their reply be? The Qur'an answers Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 15: لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ They would surely say: "Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled. Nay, we are a people bewitched." That's what you will say if you see a sign cos the sincerity is lost. tintingz:You can't stand logic for God without shooting yourself in the leg, we've been there before and you were busy shifting goalpost and evading questions. |
Born2Freak:Cool down, I am not talking about age/date. (that's what carbon dating will give). Age is just a number that estimates when an organism came into existence. Carbon dating can only tell you the age and it is not even 100% accurate. Can carbon dating tell us about our past experiences, emotions and stories? That's what I meant by reality of the past. We all believe we have past experiences and science can NEVER prove our past using physical processes. Born2Freak:Lol, most of the approaches (biological, non-materialistic, materialistic approaches) by science on subjective consciousness have lapses and they don't really explain it. If you really examine and scrutinize the scientific method and the philosophy of science, you will understand that subjective consciousness is beyond the reach of science. A theistic approach makes more sense than all. Born2Freak:Yes, my religion gives life a meaning and a purpose, something your atheism can't address. For your atheism, the formula is simple: no God, which includes the associated concepts of Divine accountability, equals no ultimate hope, no values and no purpose. It also leads to no eternal and meaningful happiness. A society with Islam provides us with answers to all these issues. A society without Islam is like a gushing river without a dam to restrain it. Sooner or later, it will overflow its courses and lead to utter ruins for its denizens. Born2Freak:Partially true ![]() |
Born2Freak:The reality of the past, consciousness, and more. Can science or your physical processes explain any of the above? |
Riduane: Sorry, I thought you be olorioko of the faculty ni. I have been dreaming niyen ![]() Eeyah, corona don cause kasala oo. Ki Allah shanu, when you get your stipends, remember say na 50:50 oooo . Mi o fe story o |
Born2Freak:It is not the only way cos it has many limitations. Again, these are the limitation of science vis-a-vis philosophical naturalism: It is limited to observation. It cannot delve into the personal. It cannot answer why things happen. It cannot address some metaphysical questions. It cannot prove necessary truths. Can you explain how we can use observation and testing of physical processes to ascertain the truth in this story? "Your aunty knocks on your door and presents you with a lovely home-baked chocolate cake. You accept the gift and place the cake on your kitchen table. Once she has gone, you open the box to have a slice. Before you indulge, you ask yourself a question: Why has she baked me this cake? Why?!" Born2Freak:I am not using god of gaps argument, I am simply telling you that science or naturalism is limited. It can't explain many things, and that's my point. I simply pointed out things science can't explain and will NEVER explain cos science deals with physical processes only. You can NEVER understand some things via science, that's the bitter truth. I don't reject science (I love science and I am a science guy), and I cling tightly to my faith in Islam. We can accept both, you just need to know where to draw lines. Science is limited as it changes its stances on issues, divine book is eternal as science still confirms some things already mentioned in divine book. Divine book is ahead of science. That's my point. Born2Freak:That's the beauty of science, it progress and changes with time. It changes its stances on issues when better observations and testings are provided The discovery and use of the microscope and the electron microscope are good examples of scientific progress. Therefore, we can never be certain about our current understanding of the physical world, because it can change with improved observations. Some of the "everything" we know about the world has been mentioned in the Qur'an even before the advent of advanced scientific methods that led to these things. Born2Freak:Yes, I have problem with metaphysical naturalism cos there is more to what meets the eyes and other 4 senses. As stated above, many things can't be explained by physical processes. I don't have much problem with methodological naturalism because Islam accepts that the whole universe is made up of physical causes. But where we part way is that you believe that these physical processes/causes happened by themselves or randomly while I believe that these causes are pure manifestation of the Divine will (God). |
tintingz:There are other methods to test natural phenomenas around us. Most of the things you believe as a so called atheist are based on "trusting the third party narrations". Have you seen the curvature of the earth? They are all based upon testimonies of others. Personal experience is another thing. tintingz:Allah is known by the signs that point to Him. "Eyes do not see Him with a direct witnessing. But hearts perceive Him through the realities of authentic belief. He is known through the evidence that points to Him. He is described by indications. He cannot be compared to human beings. And He cannot be perceived by the senses." (By Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib AS in Nahjul Balagha & al-Kafi) There are tons of signs pointing to Allah around. Just open yours and see. Why are you turning away from them? Surah Fussilat, Verse 53: سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? Or you want a miracle? You want clouds to fall on you? Or a book should descend on you? Or angels should line up in front of you? Even if you see them, you will still find ways to discredit them as you always do cos the sincerity is missing. tintingz:So you don't do logical or philosophical arguments again?! Funny, Lol, it is now about signs . You are enough as an evidence pointing to the powers of God. Surah Adh-Dhariyat, Verse 20-21: وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُو And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see? Can't you see Taiwo? |

It is understandable, Rilwayne how far na?
