The Wedding Night

Chilly twilight breeze whooshing like that of an isle,
With Nightingales playing euphonical tunes in style.
One can see his face booming brightly with a smile,
Cos he has been anticipating this moment all this while.


A taintless elegant white flowing robe the bearer wore,
With her radiance emanating luminously from the door.
He's full of enthusiasm and simply can't for wait anymore,
For a moment he has sacrificed more than enough for.


In reality, exhaling one's last breath is like a wedding night,
For a righteous slave who would be happy to meet his wright.
Like a joyous groom to his newly-wedded bride in delight,
Uniting to begin a new phase of life: A home filled with light.


The Angel of death is indeed a celebrity everyone is going to meet,
Your deeds would determine if you would a good or bad treat.
So work righteousness before your heart finally skips a beat,
And you say goodbye to this ephemeral world and its deceit.


Lanrexlan

Lone Wolf

When the world isn't on your side and you feel all alone,
As you are being swept away by life's fiery cyclone.
You are sad, depressed and pained to the backbone,
Like a man who just lost his beloved to a military drone.


Sometimes, you find yourself in life's darkest zone,
A lone wolf sighing in low guttural sob and moan.
Crestfallen, forlorn with nobody to call your own,
And in your own tears, you are about to drown.


When you are lost in the jungles of life with no cicerone,
Flee to your creator; He is the only one worthy of a padrone.
Bow, prostrate and worship the Lord of the Throne,
Reciting His blessed glorious book with a soothing tone.


Cry your eyes out in prayer; Solah is a stepping stone,
To reach the creator of the hidden and the known.
He will remove your griefs and worries like a hone,
And give you a cause to shine again like a gemstone.

Demmzy15:
Bro Lanrexlan, sorry for the question but I'm curious. When AlBaqir called the Adhan, did he add anything unusual to it?

Yes! "Hayya ala khairil amal (hasten to the best of deeds)".

sino:
Well, our Babas learnt the Qur'an based on what was available to them in their time, they didn't have any other option and they strove hard to learn what they were able to learn and read, they never abandoned the Qur'an or had doubts about it, but such cannot be said of these Shi'a scholars. I presented a link in my post to show some of the challenges that are the probable cause for a poor recitation by these Shi'a scholars, anyway, I will let their leaders answer you accordingly, then you would understand the basis of my comment...


I must state categorically that I do not engage in just jumping into conclusions anyhow just because those in question are shi'as, I try as much as possible to have evidences to backup my assertions/opinions. So again, I am not surprised!

And what gives you the solid belief that those shia scholars in those videos didn't strive hard in learning about the proper pronunciation? Those submissions of yours? Maybe they also learn based on what was available then who knows.

Tahrif(distortion of the Qur'an) is an issue for another day.


You are still generalizing dear akhee, how many shia scholars' recitation have you listened to apart from the op??

Have you listened to Sheikh Mohammed Al-Hilli's recitation? Have you listened to Sheikh Mustapha Qawzini's recitation? Have you listened to Sheikh Murtadha Alidina's recitation? Have you listened to Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Yahya Al-Husseniy Al-Ninowy's recitation??


These are shia scholars too! Stop using some old papas to judge other shia scholars who can recite fluently.

sino:
I'm not surprised at all, I had already created a thread on their scholars attitude towards the Qur'an here is the link:

https://www.nairaland.com/3071287/discussing-reality-crisis-between-shia

Seriously dear akhee I am not here to defend shias or butt-lick their scholars but I think judging them by the recitation of some of their scholars is just totally wrong.

The similitude is a man visiting Yoruba land and prayed behind the late Cheif Imaam of Ibadan land, Sheikh Suaara and heard his recitation, not fluent nor with proper tajweed.

You would agree with me that most(if not all) old babas who are Imaams of central mosques can't recite the Qur'an with proper tajweed and mispronounce many letters of the Arabic alphabet.

How would it be if a non-yoruba is to judge the entire tribe with that? They are our leader and one would expect their tajweed to be the best, but the reverse is the case. Would it be proper??

Can we use that as a yardstick of judging the tajweed of other Yorubas?? Absolutely NO.

It is because of this tajweed of a thing, that some Hausa consider Yoruba folks not to be complete Muslim.
Is that proper

Demmzy15:
Thick horrible voices! I'm imagining AlBaqir reciting with his thick Yoruba accent voice!

Unfortunately for you and your folks, Albaqir has gotten a nice ma sha Allah recitation.

I once prayed behind him when we met and when he pronounced the adhan, you would feel like licking his mouth.

Correct tajweed ma sha Allah.


Sorry to disappoint you.

Riduane:
Empiree, got it. May Allah continue to bless you. Thanks very much brother!

10% mi da?

Empiree, Jazakallah khairan. Jazagbangba

Empiree:
"Do zikr to the point of being called mad man" -Nabi Muhammad(saw)

Where is the evidence?

tintingz:
Slay mamas be typing kk, y, gud mrn, hw r u, fyn.. Etc Like WTF, simple spelling most of them can't spell correctly.

They type 'kk' why can't they just type 'OK', is something wrong with their keyboard?

Yes there's something wrong with their keyboard. This is how it looks like

Empiree:
Other explanations you provided may be credited after further review since you brought nearly convincing evidence even though your long winded explanations are crooked

Crooked bawo?? Your questions are also not straightforward . So,zigzag questions require crooked answers

Empiree:
Evidently from another hadith indicates they are human from hadith of 999 out of every 1000 humans are from Yajuj and majuj. I dont believe Gog and Magog are some obscure entity. So even though you chose Yajuj and Majuj as your answer, it is controversial. We want plain answer

Several other ahadith portray them as human where they would pass by lake of Galeel and inquire about dried water.

No wahala, I give up. I no wan drag am

Riduane:

Kini o mu eleyii?

Empiree:
Fifth Candidate:




1)Adam (Alahi Salaam)- Created from clay.

2)Angels- Created from light.

3) Jinn- (Created from smokeless fire)

4) Hur Ayn- (Created from saffron)


Prophet Yusuf (Joseph)- Alahi Salaam


It comes from the Arsh of Allah.


The name of the creature is donkey (Ass)

Majuj and Yajuj People.

Bismillah Ar Rahmon Ar RaheemCan you prove question 2, 3 and 5 from Quran or hadith to increase your grades?

Empiree, firstly your number one question. Do angels and Jinns have father and mother too?? How can Hawwa be amongst the list?

If I would recollect vividly, there's a narration I heard that creation is in four forms.

1)Creation without father and mother e.g Adam
2)Creation without mother but father e.g Hawwa
3)Creation without father but mother e.g Isa
4)Creation with father and mother e.g Progeny of Adam.

Hawwa from created from Adam, so how can she not a have father?

Second question, your question is subjected to various answers sir. Coffin can mean many things.

I may decided (nearly wrote that) that Musa is the answer. He was carried in a coffin too (The wooden plank his mother placed him in just to save him from Pharaoh's terror).

Metamorphically, isn't that a coffin too?

As per my answer, I got it from Imaam Ibn Kather "STORIES OF THE PROPHET"


Joseph (pbuh), at the moment of his death, asked his brothers to bury him beside his forefathers if they were to leave Egypt. So when Joseph (pbuh) passed away, he was mummified and placed in a coffin until such a time as he could be taken out of Egypt and buried beside his forefathers, as he had requested. It was said that he died at the age of one hundred ten (Stories of the Prophets, Page 90)


I chose this since coffin is usually used for the dead.


Third question, the water? Ehmm, na guess work jare.
.

As per the fifth question, I thought the message of Dhul Qarnain to Yajuj and Majuj people is the answer.

There are narrations that say they aren't humans and that's why I went for them. I am still correct

AbdelKabir:
No I don't and I mentioned that towards the end of that thread....

You said this akhee

lexiconkabir:
as you can see, I had problem with the beating initially which was why I opened this thread, but with proper research I came to realise that there are conditions attached, not beating for just anything, plus the beating is a light one, which is not done for the purpose of revenging, but for a psychological reason to bring the woman to her senses

Please enlighten us on the proper research of yours that made you changed your stance. Won't you mind doing that?

Nice submission Albaqir, lexiconkabir (Abdulkabir) once made similar submission here.

However, there is no room for 2nd, 3rd and 4th position. These positions are closed since we already have 4 candidates. Any subsequent submissions after this MUST compete 1st position i:e must answer ALL 6 questions correctly or satisfactorily. Otherwise, the grades will not be furnished or considered.

@tintingz, you have started your "goalpost shifting technique" once again and I am afraid that I won't be able to continue. Truly, it is no point if argument is just back and forth, I am not here for a win or lose affair. You find it very hard to see from another person's perspective, just viewing things only through your lens.

tintingz:
Scientifically we are among mammal animal species, so dont be surprise if humans possess animistic behavior.

Many people having relationship without any form of marriage are already known by the parents. Some couples cohabits for years, have kids before doing wedding ceremony. I know some.

But the creator has given us intellect and reasoning, why don't we use them for self control? Animals can eat foods that don't belong to their owner and that's not stealing, but is it acceptable that humans also steal food because of animalistic behavior?

tintingz:
Lol, please how does perfumes hurt or harm someone? What is wrong for a woman to scent nice? Why allow it for men but prohibited for women?

Again we are talking about empathy here.

You are shifting goalpost man. I have moved on from the issue of perfumes. I only gave that analogy when you brought up the issue of free sex. Check what I quoted but now, slowly.

tintingz:
Cigarette is tobacco, it doesn't make someone go high or make someone misbehave but it is not healthy(risk of kidney, lung diseases etc) as it is placed in their commercials, adverts, one have the choice to smoke it or not it is left for the person. cigarette is not classify as hard drug. Marijuana is hard drug that make someone misbehave to the extent of hurting another person, drinking and smoking weed is not allowed while driving as it can cause alot of damage to human life like accidents. Keeping weeds, cannabis is illegal.

Bros, not everybody that takes marijuana misbehaves. I know guys who take it and don't misbehave. That's probability.

Even drinking and driving cause accidents, what is the point? Why is alcohol not prohibited??

tintingz:
Which country criminalize suicide attempt? it is only religious counties like Saudi criminalize suicide attempt.
What many countries do to suicide attempt person is send him/her to see a psychologist for counselling.

Suicide is illegal in some countries like Cyprus, Brunei, Uganda et al. It is legal in most european countries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_legislation#cite_note-1

tintingz:
If you work in an organization won't you abide to the rules? Government is also an organization with different bodies, so road safety is part of it, the road is like government organization public property one has to abide to the rules and regulations because this is a public usage, but using perfumes is something personal to you.

You are still shifting goalpost bro. I have moved on from the issue of perfumes. I only gave this analogy when you brought up the issue of free sex. You aren't following the conversation, it is like you sha wanna reply to everything without properly assessing the points raised. Islamic discussions aren't like that akhee.

tintingz:
Lol, who told you she cant inherit his property if the husband dies?, the husband can simply sign a document regard to his property using the lady's name as the second owner of his property.

These things happen without any form of marriage. This is what Oprah Winfrey did, she is not married but she has a partner and the society have no problem with it.

Alright

tintingz:
Is this man a Christian?

Does morality started in religion?

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell (May 18, 1872 – February 2, 1970) was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, and social critic. In 1950, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature.
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell

He wrote a book titled "Why I am not a Christian"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_I_Am_Not_a_Christian

tintingz:
You have not presented the stats how the rate of hijab sisters is low, you cant argue base on your assumptions.

Is like you dont know the psychological behavior behind rapists.

It is not assumptions. Go check statistics and see for yourself. I barely heard or read hijabi women being raped, I am not saying it is not possible or can't occur.

tintingz:
What does empathy means?

What does empathy has to do with what Musa and Khidr's story?

Salaam alaykum Warahmatulah Wabarokatuh
It is nice chatting with ya

tintingz:
Logically, there is nothing like illegal relationship, it is religion, cultures that make it up. As far two adults have consent for each other what's illegal in the relationship?

It's illegal in the sense that they haven't sought the consent of their parents. It's a he-goat (Obuko) that would be cohabiting with a she-goat with the consent of the doe or buck. Are we animals? Why behaving like one?

tintingz:
It is the resposibility of the government to care for the people's health, safety. There are long term debates before laws are put into constitution.

So you believe it's government's responsibility to care for the health and safety of her citizens out of love and yet you can't still fathom that's it is out of love and mercy that the creator of man and his laws would laid down laws and regulations to guide man in every sphere of his life which his sexuality is not exempted??

tintingz:
Taking hard drugs is harmful to the user and to the people around him/her, imagine someone took marijuana and move aggressively to stab another person because he's high and not in his right sense.

This is not true. According to the secular society, a man can do whatever he likes in as much as he is not infringing on people's rights. Why is cigarette smoking not prohibited? It also causes harm for the smoker and even the secondary smoke is dangerous to the people close to the smoke.

Not everyone who takes marijuana gets high to the extent of stabbing the other person. That's a probability, it is not always true.

In some states and countries, attempted suicide is a crime. But is the person trying to commit suicide inflicting any harm on anybody?? It's his life, why placing punishment on it?

tintingz:
There are rules in road safety regulations and using sit belt is part of it, this is something agreed everywhere in the world, the safety is for the people in the car, government own the roads you have no choice than to follow the rules and regulations, it is like given rules for student to wear uniform. This has no logical correlation with mixing with opposite sex or having sex with anyone you wishes, as long as these two adults are ok with it and even at that there are rules in having sex, e.g rape is under criminal charges.

This is about empathy.

You are not getting the drift.
You agreed that there should be rules for driving a car because of the safety of the person who's driving the car right? The government owns the roads and you have no choice than to abide to their rules right?

Similarly, Allah owns your soul and your body and you can't use it the way you like, in the same way you can't drive on the road the way you like without following the rules and regulations of the government who owns the road, despite the fact that it is your own car.

What I am saying is that in Islam, apart from a person's right to himself and the society, Islam goes a step further and makes us to realize that rights are divided into three: The rights of an individual, rights of the society, and rights of Allah. A person is free to do whatever he or she likes as long as it does not violate the rights of other people and Allah. To become a Muslim, one has to accept this limitation on his or her personal freedom.

In other words, Islam holds a person responsible even for the use of his or her body. You are not allowed to abuse your own body or harm it.
If a person misuses or abuses his body, then he is guilty of infringing the rights of his own body and also the rights of Allah who has given the body as a trust to us. So be careful on how you use it, you may your own car (body), yet the government (Allah) has rules and regulations on how you would use your car (body) on their roads (world). Hope you got the analogy better?

tintingz:
People who are married and people not married are still practicing same relationship, the latter was design to make the relationship known to the family, friends and law, and some religious, cultural reasons. I can do all these without making it looks like marriage.

Two people cohabiting together is not marriage. Why?
They are not recognized by the society as husband and wife. The wife can't inherit the husband when he is dead.

tintingz:
People practice premarital sex in western countries and no one is persecuted for it, even their baby mamas are being given child support, they don't have problem with premarital sex in the western world, it is religion, culture that makes it illegal, sin. There is a marriage called open relationship(marriage), where the couples can have multiple sexual partners and they won't have problem with it.

There are few people that have problem with it, even in the western world. Russell says "If we are to allow the new morality [of unrestrained sex] to take its course, it is bound to go further than it has done, and to raise difficulties hardly as yet appreciated.

If, on the other hand, we attempt in the modern world to enforce restrictions which were possible in a former [Christian] age, we are led into an impossible stringency of regulation, against which human nature would soon rebel. This is so clear that, whatever the dangers or difficulties, we must be content to let the world go forward rather than back.

For this purpose we shall need a genuinely new morality. I mean by this that obligations and duties will still have to be recognized, though they may be very different from the obligations and duties recognized in the past.
. I do not think that the new system any more than the old should involve an unbridled yielding to impulse, but I think the occasions for restraining impulse and the motives for doing so will have to be different from what they have been in the past.''(Russell, Marriage and Morals, p. 91-92.)

tintingz:
Lol, I have read a lot about hijabi sisters being raped. It is no news.
Because some women wear hijab doesn't mean they can't be raped, there are pervert vampires that love to rape women in hijab.

I don't know where you saw me saying that women in Hijab can't be raped. I never said so, you just keep hammering on it.

tintingz:
Good, if someone can rape a goat, how come hijab sisters can't be raped. I even seen a video of a young man raping a chicken!!!!

Who says hijab sisters can't be raped? The fact is that the ratio of women in hijab that got raped to that of woman not using hijab is low. Take it or leave it.

tintingz:
There are some people that cant control thier sexual urge even if they live in saudi, the more reason polygamy is legal and early marraige is recommended.

True.

tintingz:
Yes but it's against some freedom of people's choice. Women can't use perfumes?

Ok.

I guess this is the freedom you are also looking for right? To do things that only appear logically to you? As a muslim, you should know that there are limits and it is not a must you comprehend the wisdom behind most laws.

For example, the story of Musa (AS) and Khidr when they boarded a ship. Khidr scuttled the ship despite the fact the people gave them a free ride. To you, is what Khidr did explained logically? Absolutely not, it's not logically that you would scuttled a ship of the people who gave a ride without pay. Yet, there is divine wisdom behind that, quite beyond the knowledge of men.

tintingz:
LOL
Thanks for the recap of the movie, i have really forgot the storyline of the movie. How come you still remember that very long time movie?

I can remember baba latin met those iwin in the forest and one also appear to him in his room beating him or so.

I rarely forget movies, even early 2000s movies, I still recap them

He didn't beat him, they offered baba latin a deal. Not to see them again and keep all his riches, but he declined. He was very selfish and want more things. So they tricked him, they told him there is a means he would have unlimited wealth and he asked how? They told him to give all his properties in charity with nothing left. Afterwards, he should drink from the calabash, he would be richer than dangote

The mumu con follow iwin's advice and he did. The outcome was that he became poorer than he was before he met the Iwins


Moral of the story; Don't make deals with Jinns, it may have good beginning the end is always bad. Ask the Winchesters for more details
