This just shows Christianity is the only peaceful religion on earth.

In Britain, we allow you to run sharia.
In America, we make you run positions as far as you deserve it.
In Switzerland we let you work in our banks.
In France, we let you run legislation if you have the brains to.

In Nigeria, how many christians are in government. Especially takes laws directly from Aso rock? How many if not northern muslims all thru

In Saudi, how many churches are there?
In Kaduna, you kill our christian brothers, rape our sisters and claim your religion is a religion of peace.

In Iraq / Syria how many of our brothers did you kill to fulfil religion?

Don't make me mad you muslims. If we gave you a chance to run on seats, take it as a fair chance and shut up, and learn. No noise.

America was never and is not a Christian Nation, The U.S. Constitution is a wholly secular document. It contains no mention of Christianity or Jesus Christ. In fact, the Constitution refers to religion only twice in the First Amendment, which bars laws "respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," and in Article VI, which prohibits "religious tests" for public office. Both of these provisions are evidence that the country was not founded as officially Christian.

AMERICA may be a nation of believers, but when it comes to this country’s identity as a “Christian nation,” their beliefs are all over the map.


Separation of church and state. You also mentioned countries like England, Switzerland and France. What's the population of the True practicing Christians in these countries? Maybe between 10% to 15% yet you called them a Christian country even though over 75% of the population of these countries sees themselves as a non practicing Christian. History tells us the only time most of this countries actually practice Christianity as a religion by the majority of its citizens and also as a system by the government(which use to be same as the Church) is called the Dark Ages the time of the crusaders which is not that much different from what we have today as ISIS. History always repeats itself

googlepikins:
I've said this last year and am saying it this year and am still going to say it next year. Buhari will never, I said never use our oil for the 95% thieves.

But your oil only account for less than 24% of Nigeria revenue based on buhari 2017 budget even though not all oil producing States 24% are from SS. What stopped you guys from stopping Johnathan when oil accounts for way more than 24% of the Nigerian revenue for the so called 95%? The truth is that it's tribalism and hatred of buhari to be precise

manmidtexy:
Well said bro. If he had followed Yar adua and GEJ approach as he was sworn in. Things would have not been ugly now.

Let us keep watching.

And that is? You mean Giving billions to militants for protection of pipelines from themselves militants? Only in Africa you'll see that. The man campaign for change but you want business as usual

degamemaster:
Buhari is a useless old terrorist. He is pretending as if he truly desire the peace of the people of southern nigeria, all he wanted was to set the region on fire and use it as an excuse for his dumbness and foolishness hence, military force in the area. God punish buhari.

Buhari is the terrorist that wanted to set the SS region on fire? Really!!!!, you guys and your supporters are bombing you own region(pipelines), some of are even calling for all out war against buhari that he will be killed if he ever stepped in to the region (ss/se). Even though buhari is pleading with you guys(SS) not to destroy your own land from bombing and oil spillage yet you called him the terrorist, he even wanted to clean up oil spillage that the militants also help in creating from pipelines bombing even though your hero (Johnathan) failed to do much about it yet you guys still said you'll still kill him if he ever stepped SS region for cleaning up your oil spillage mess. Look at the state of SS today yet most of you guys are quick to praise people like ibori, asari, militants and all SS past leaders but you said god punish buhari what exactly do you guys want buhari to do?

Orikinla1:
President Muhammadu Buhari must revoke all the oil blocks licenses awarded between 1984 and 1999.

What stopped Jonathan from revoking the oil blocks ? Or should I say what stopped you people from asking Jonathan or pdp the same questions?

Stalwert:
Please brothers help me empiree, is he ashamed of Islam that he has consistently refused to answer the question regarding its position on war, how it is to be fought and how to treat civilians? Please help me ask why all this pivot to right akin to talking about the Gestation period of elephant? Empiree why can't you use Islam as the criterion to judge Assad's actions? Let frame the question as follows:

1. Does Islam permits killing people who questions the way you are ruling them or demand their rights?

2. What is Islam Position on Fighting Wars with regards to the rights of civilians?

2. What does Islam says targeting civilians?

3. Does Islam support the use of Chemical weapons, indiscriminate bombings of civilians, starving civilians, burning them etc?

4. Does Islam permit the support of terrorist organizations like al qaeda, which we learn Assad did during US occupation of Iraq?

4. Does you the Assad regime which you are more favorably dispose to adhere to these Islamic principles?

let me stop here, brothers please help me beg Empiree to answer the question and not bore us with red herrings

Looking at the war in Syria from Islamic perspective all I can say is that all Party involved are all wrong let's start with the West they are in Syria only for Western interest same is with Russia as for Assad, you just listed the reasons why his wrong too and if you truly use Islam to Judge the rebels you'll simple finds out that they the rebels are very wrong too Islam never supports picking up arms against a sitting Government even if it's a corrupt government Islam only permits us as muslims to advise any Bad or corrupt government that's ruling over us. The Hadith of the prophet Muhammad (saw) actually advice Muslim not to Fight a corrupt government but only to advise them on right and wrong and the reason he gave over 1600 years ago was that it could easily lead to blood shed the whole Arab revolution is not Islamic and even though most corrupts Arabs government are also wrong(unislamic)

bonechamberlain:
After using tax to almost suffocate people

Or you'll rather prefer Lagos to also generate it's revenue from natural resources(oil) like the rest of Nigeria? so that when the prices of oil comes crashing down what's next? Or when the militant starts blowing off oil pipe line ? I remember vividly most Nigerian where against fashola when he was trying to increase Lagos State IGR internal generated revenue by increasing taxes but what you failed to understand is that the same taxes most of you guys where against is the same thing that's helping Lagos State(Ambode) today.

What exactly do you guys want? You don't want the so called federal government oil (aka Niger delta) being spent on Lagos State or any other States yet you don't want Lagos to generate it's own revenue it's not like Lagos is taxing the residents of Anambra or Kano? Lagos is only taxing it's own residents and if you don't like it you're free to relocate. Maybe people like you likes it or not the taxes is staying. Nigeria is just now calling for diversification from oil but Lagos already did and just like you guys where calling for fashola's head when he was laying the foundation for Lagos you're all doing the same thing with buhari now .

Nnwannsukka:
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Even when he killed, raped, converted and all sorts of evil things
I believe he didn't complain [right][/right]

Stop spreading rumors(lies)
What exactly do you expect him to do when he's being attacked during War by the enemies trying to kill him? Are you saying its wrong for him to fight back in order to protect his family, community, and religion?

There's is not a single person that was forced to convert to Islam by Prophet Muhammad(saw) even Allah directly told Muhammad(saw) in the Quran that he Muhammad(saw) cannot decide Who can or cannot be a Muslim. his job as a prophet is just to deliver the message (Messenger of Allah) he could not even convert his own Uncle that raised and protected him all his life. Quran 28:56 clearly say Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

Who exactly did Muhammad(saw) raped ? or are you now saying when a man have sex with his wife is rape to you?

usmanktg2:
Why can't you stop this nonsense for once please, Forget the fact that am doing Maulid. Let us celebrate our Prophet SAW. Is that bid'a also?

May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow by virtue of Prophet Muhammad.
Wish you lots of love, joy and happiness.
Happy Maulid

Assalam alaykum is Maulud really part of Islam?

There is nothing in the Qur’aan to say that we should celebrate the Mawlid or birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not do this or command anyone to do it, either during his lifetime or after his death. Indeed, he told them not to exaggerate about him as the Christians had exaggerated about Jesus (upon whom be peace). He said: “Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari). What has been reported is that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made the day of his birth a day of worship, which is different to celebration. He was asked about fasting on Mondays, and he said: “That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was entrusted with the Mission or when I was first given Revelation.” (Reported by Muslim, al-Nisaa’i and Abu Dawood).

Moreover, we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most. Was it reported that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Was it reported that ‘Umar, who ruled for twelve years, or ‘Uthmaan, did this? Was it reported that ‘Ali, his relative and foster son, did this? Was it reported that any of the Sahaabah did this? No, by Allaah! Is it because they were not aware of its importance, or did they not truly love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? No one would say such a thing except one who has gone astray and is leading others astray.

Did any of the imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – do this or command others to do it or say that it was good? By Allaah, no! It was not even mentioned during the first and best three centuries. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a saheeh hadeeth: “The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi). The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of true religion had vanished and bid’ah had become widespread.

The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of true religion had vanished and bid’ah had become widespread.

Thus this celebration became a sign of one’s love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? But can it be possible that the Sahaabah, the imaams and the people of the best three centuries were unaware of it, and it was only those who came later who were aware of its importance?! What the Qur’aan tells us is that love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is demonstrated by following the guidance he brought. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Say: ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger.’ But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers.” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:31-32]

The first aayah explains that love is just a claim, but the proof of sincerity is following what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought. The second aayah reaffirms the importance and necessity of obeying Allaah and His Messenger. Hence Allaah ended the aayah with a very stern warning in which those who refuse to obey are described as kaafirs, and Allah does not love the disbelievers. We ask Allaah to keep us safe from that. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of the danger of not obeying him, and the danger of adding to what he brought. The celebration of Mawlid or his birthday is indeed an addition to what he brought – as all the scholars agree. He said: “The best of speech is the Book of Allaah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The most evil of things are those which are newly-invented (in religion), and every innovation is a going astray.” (Reported by Muslim and al-Nisaa’i).

We ask Allaah to protect us from bid’ah and to bless us by helping us to follow. Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.#copied

Well said, may Allah continue to bless you. and just to add to what you said, we can fast on the DAY(every Monday's) but not on the DATE(Yearly Birthday dates) and Allah knows best.

general111:
...this man should be the president of this country sef ..he seems to have plenty sense to borrow to this present government.

He was not tweeting during the last administration when Nigeria was being stolen dry by his own PDP party now he decided to care about Nigeria all a sudden? People like him don't even deserve to be a local government chairman not even a senator. Another northern senator was actually the one that starts the movement against the tax increase making his case against the government while the common sense senator his making his own case on tweeter looking for cheap publicity

ELKHALIFAISIS:
Nigeria has turned to discovery Nation... despite all this discovery yet the dullard is complaining there is no money... Buhari is a crazy lazy old cow... TUFIAKWA

An administration that's discovering your stolen money you called it a Dullard while you're calling the administration that stole your money a Hero (classic black man mentality ) the plain truth is that people like hate PMB and you hate him so much that you'll never see anything good in all his policies. But why do blacks hate one another so much?

marhoinspire:
PDP finished this country.

No I disagree with your statement, Pdp did not finish the country but we Nigerians finished our own country

salabscholar01:
Nigerians accumulate wealth so much, but higher percentage of this wealth is non legitimate. Now, let us deal with the truth; we the youths are too jobless to pick a side to defend politicians. Most of us here are inspired by these corrupt politicians and even have them as role models, while we struggle to square a good meal. Sad!



We the youth are the foothold of these politicians yet easy to be manipulate and still find their ways to the top. We the youths, are always fighting unending open wars against one another while the politicians meets at closed doors to reconcile.




We the youth are trading our tomorrow for these politicians who will buy our energy to create a world for their generations. The youth who benefit massively from politics are the stronger ones who must be ready to be stubborn or to die in the process.



I look into the future of our youth, all I see are mostly the folks who are busy searching around, looking for schemes that will help multiply their little Kobo, only to sustain, while the politicians stack our money in a corner.



For how long do we continue this journey of walking on broken paths in this country? We need to think once more when it concerns politics. Ask yourself good questions when politicians asked you to defend them or when voluntarily want to defend them. The truth is this, we are all corrupt in Nigeria.

Thank you, a classic example are the mama Peace supporters

nely:
Every day this Apc keep recovering money from various agencies and corrupt politicians and they would say they are broke, where is all the recovered funds going or are they using it as foot match in aso rock

People like you Just don't get it, even though the amount of money recovered is billions of naira but also don't forget that the naira is also very weak due to oil prices the money recovered so far is nothing compared to the money needed to fix Nigeria

fkdmods:
Actually, you are misinformed. The fact that he writes these articles draws people's attention to issues because we all know how quickly Nigerians forget. For instance, Nigerians are blaming Buhari like he just came from nowhere and destroyed a great country. LOl. Nigeria has always been crap and will always be crap because of one major reason. It citizens. You forget that these leaders come from the citizenry. They are not from the moon. If the citizenry is bad, the leaders you select will also the bad. Bad citizens = bad leaders = bad country. Good citizens will always bring forth good leaders. It is an indisputable fact. As they say in computer science; Garbage in, garbage out. It will behoove you to start looking inward. It is not by magic that Nigeria has been in existence for more than half a century with no good leader to show for it. The average Nigerian is groomed from birth to be corrupt. What do you think will happen when you decide to select from the pool of corrupt people to be your leader?

After reading most of these comments your comment is the only comment that makes sense(Plain truth) the biggest problem Nigeria have is not the leaders but it's people, leaders are just part of the problem. Leaders don't produce people but people produce leaders and corrupt people will always produce corrupt politicians.
Nigerian citizens and businesses don't even pay taxes close to what Americans or westerners pay in taxes yet we call for diversification of the Nigerian revenue. America produces way more oil, more coal, more iron, more resources yet still taxes it's citizens and businesses 2 to 3 or more times the Nigerian government taxes it's citizens or businesses. Nigerians supports pipelines bombing but where do we expect the government to generate revenue? Tax the rich? Who are the rich people if not not the current and previous politicians how do you tax stolen money? We are even against buhari going after the people that stole our money eg mama Peace yet we want him to tax the rich and now we are against the government increasing the tax of one of the few rich industry (telecommunications) yet we all including the common sense senator supports the telecommunication industries given hundreds of millions if not billions of naira to the the so called celebrities(davido and the rest) to spend on expensive imported products like cars. Why are these industries not paying for the tax increase from money being wasted on the so called celebrities? Why increase the price on the common man? I don't really believe the so called common sense senator really cared about the people

basilo102:
ebonyi have invested in rice production and milling over a long time to arrive at this. Bubu has not invested in anything

Common now, with all due respect you're being bias with your statement when you comment on ebonyi you said " ebonyi have invested over a long time " you're actually not judging based on only the current sitting governor but you're judging based over a longer period of time that go past the current administration in ebonyi. When it comes to the federal government you're only judging Nigeria based on buhari administration which is just over a year old you said "bubu has not invested in anything " whatever happened to continuity of the government from the previous government investments? or are you saying Jonathan did not invest in anything ?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
No, I won't.
This governor banned foreign rice cos local production is enough.
Buhari just bans stuff when there are no substitutes in sight. This leads to hoarding, process inflation, outright scarcity and extreme hardship.
Umahi 'so method is not trial and error.

Can you please give us examples of this stuffs Buhari is banning without a locally manufactured alternative

yohannazack:
Rubbish! Must you ban foreign rice before people will buy locally produced rice. All you need to do is litre, I.e make it cheap and neat, and see whether people will buy or not. By the way, how sure are we that the governor doesn't eat foreign rice?

My guy if I'm the governor I'll completely ban each and every thing my state can produce locally we need to start from somewhere to fix our unemployment problem or you'll rather be importing competitions from advance countries that will in turns kill our locally grown/manufactured products?

Godprotectigbos:
guy i dont have problem with buhari

Guy I don't really have problem with your statement either, even though I'm from the SW I fully supports any laws that will encourage locally grown/manufactured products in ebonyi or any other state in Nigeria at least many ebonyi farmers and citizens will benefit from it

My problem is with those that only support laws not based on if it's good or bad, but rather there support is based on the tribe of who's making the law

Godprotectigbos:
i love that




igbo nation on a run





we are progressing

Will you say the same thing if it was Buhari that ban a imported product just to promote locally produced product ?

TheBigUrban2:
I am neither a christian or a jew. And I have condemned the heavy-handed actions of isreal

So stop lying. I call a spade a spade. Muslims need to speak up more on terrorism. Fact

We muslims speak against terrorism on a daily basis from all over the world, for example in my Masjid we usually invite the churches, the non muslims, U.S Federal Government officials including the Police officers to our Masjid, we even went on Air in our local TV show programs to speak against terrorism, we even have someone assigned to go to the street tomorrow morning(Every Saturday morning) to speak to the public, I can go on and on about what we muslims do to reject terrorism but at the end of the day we muslims don't control the major media house (CNN, ABC, FOX .....) it's like most of the media are only looking for negative news about Muslim believe me negative News about Muslim sells a good example is the tittle of OP article

Omexonomy:
What do u suggest we non muslims do when we cotinue to hear and see violence nd wickedness being perpetuated by muslims promising each fighter 72 virgin by quoting the koran and hadith to support their evil

We as muslims follows the Quran and the teachings of our beloved Prophet Muhammad(saw) and I'm telling you today there's nothing in the Quran or teachings of Prophet Muhammad(saw) that's says or talk about these so called "72 Virgin " it's nothing but lies to attract young Muslims to join their movement by the terrorists, the truth is that this terrorist will never give you the verses of the Quran or hadith that says 72 virgin

Neroclassic:
Have u ever bought a drink with the intent of winning a certain prize after peeling d bottle cork? Or a scenerio whereby u make your purchase in a store n qualify for a raffle draw. Aren't these instances of gambling which is taking chance with the possibility of winning and also losing out.

No no no what you just said is really not same as gambling because with your case of buying a product and hoping to also win in the same process let's say the value of a coca Cola bottle is #50 if you pay #50 with hope of also wining a prize if at the end of the day you didn't win any prizes The truth is that you also did not loose anything either because you still have your Coca Cola bottle worth #50 but in the case of gambling you tend to lose part or everything #$ you invest into it, most religion are against gambling because majority of the people that invest in it are guaranteed to loose their investments $# with only one or person gaining (that's on Godly)

MinorityTribe1:
We wouldn't have all these questions if only God can talk like in the old testaments. But it seems so far God has been deaf and dumb. So people are worshiping him according to what they perceived to be right.

God is not deaf and dumb, God have been speaking to mankind through the books like old testament(Jew's Book), New Testament(Christian Book) and The Last Testament (Quran) even though God sent you this books and you still don't get the message, Now who is really deaf and dumb?

Greatzeus:
Sir we are talking about Betting and MMM, none of them is shady,to start betting biz,you register a company under C.A.M.A 1990,you are are issued a license by C.A.C ,which is a government agency.
MMM is a helping community where people give help and receive help from each other,no law in Nigeria forbids it so,it is legal.
With all due respect,you are wrong calling them shady,its an insult to the founders and millions of participants across the country.

I disagree with you with all due respect, why are you quoting the Nigerian laws ? The OP never mentioned paying taxes to the government he/she was only talking about paying the tithe (religious tax) and both Christianity and Islam are against gambling, so if you really want to make your point please bring proof from a religious text that support gambling not Nigerian laws as proof because this topic not about the government but the Church(religion)

kennyblaze007:
If na u nkor,U go like cum back to Naija ontop this Buhari Administration... Seriously no one I repeat no one in his right senses will travel out of this country and wud want to cum back and stay...Just saying though...

My name is Ken,I just want to make common sense...

Mr common sense are you really making any sense at all? Buhari is only in power for just over a year or two but this same people you're supporting have collecting tax payers money(including your money) for 14 to 15 Years yet you blamed it on buhari, some of this people were already studying abroad for over a decade or over 12 Years before buhari became the president, even if they choose to relocate to another country by fooling the state government why are they still collecting state funds for over a decade if they don't plan on returning? You're really not making any sense at all maybe it's your hatred for buhari I don't know. I personally know people in the U.S that did the same thing the 80s, 90s, even in the year 2000s all this people wasted so much tax payers money that at the end of the day the program did not serve it's purpose.

analice107:
You follow hios teachings? Which one?

With all due respect, which of Jesus Christ (saw) teachings are we muslims not following?

kolaish:
CHRIST WAS NEVER AGAINST ANY WOMAN LEADING, SHE HAS NEVER REBUKED ANY WOMAN FOR PLAYING LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE CHURCH. CHRIST MAY NOT WANT ANY CONTROVERSY TO TEAR APART HIS MINISTRY DUE TO JEWISH LAW THAT FORBIDS WOMAN TO LEAD, PROBABLY THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY THERE IS NO WOMAN IN HIS 12 DISCIPLES.

THE CRUCIAL POINTS ARE, HAS GOD EVER BEEN ANNOYED WITH A WOMAN BEING A PROPHET. Consider the following

1. MIRIAM

“Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them: ‘Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea’” (Exodus 15:20-21).


2. DEBORAH - was a prophetess and a judge in Israel

“At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment” (Judges 4:4-5).

3. Isaiah wife was a prophetess - Isaiah 8:3

4. Huldah was a prophetess - 2 Kings 22:14

5. Noadiah was a prophetess

“Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid” (Nehemiah 6:14).

People like you needs to be very careful whenever you speak about God or religion, even though I'm a Muslim I still think Christianity should be strictly based on the Bible and not based on your so called personal ideology same way my ideology doesn't count in any religion but what always count is the original religious texts like the Bible for Christianity or Quran for Islam. Based on what you said above in the bold you're not even sure about what you're saying that was why you said Jesus(saw) "May not want controversy", you're really not so sure yourself, are you now telling us your faith is based on assumption?

Let's say you're right for the sake of argument are you now saying Jesus(saw) was actually not in support of the Jewish Moses(saw) Laws that was before his arrival ? Then my last question to you is how do now explain this Bible verses below

Matthew 5:17-20English Standard Version (ESV)

Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Note: I'm only quoting the direct word of Jesus(saw) but you on the other hand you're speaking based on your ideology.

IhateYorubafool:
He should caution his brothers to stop bpombing Nigeria

He never supported Boko Haram, as a SW Muslim his Islamic interpretation is completely different from Boko Haram's or do you expect him to go all the way to sambisa forest to challenge Boko Haram so they can kill him?

mashnino:
As a muslim that i am i have actually thought of this before

I once asked my uztaz

He said and i quote in hausa "haram ne" which means it is forbidden

I was perplexed and then he explained it to me

He said the only break a worker needs on friday is the juma'a break which should be from 12-2 or whatever time it is being prayed in your community

But taking the whole day off because of Juma'a prayers is actually haram.

So mr akintola go and sit down one place and stop causing problems

Assalam alaykum, are you really a Muslim? Mr Akintola is not causing problems but he's just fighting for the Rights of muslims including yourself, your so called Uztaz is very wrong to say what you claimed he said, you see Friday jummah worship is way more than just two hours (the basic) the two hours is what we can say is the minimum (with the smaller reward) let me shear an hadith about Friday jummah prayer with you
Al-Bukhaari (814) and Muslim (850) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does ghusl on Friday like ghusl for janaabah, then goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow; whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram; whoever goes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour it is as if he offered an egg. When the imam comes out, the angels come to listen to the khutbah.”

So based on the above hadith Friday jummah starts at least 5 hours before the imam comes out to give the khutbah (after the call for prayer "adahn"

We as muslims need to be very careful before we start labeling things as Haram or halal. Don't trust some of this uztaz including Boko Haram too when they tell you something always ask for references from the Quran or hadith

TonyeBarcanista:
This is why we need to devolve power so that each federating unit will decide what they want. I'm. or opposed to making Friday a work free day, my concern is that this man is making case for this because he felt Christians are enjoying the luxury of Sundays.

However, I will educate him.

Egypt, though a secular Arab country has Friday and Saturday as Work-free day. Christians, including the Copts hold their weekly service on Fridays and Saturdays depending on the Church. If Egyptian Christians can hold service on these days, then Nigeria Christians won't mind any day of the week.

But Nigeria is a secular country, we can't run our affairs based on any statute of any religion whether Islam or Christianity.


He has to be guided.

Nigeria a secular country? LOL You Christians are very funny sometimes (hypocritical) why is it that whenever the Muslim are demanding there religious Rights, you guys are quick to say no no no Nigeria is a secular country we as a nation do not have time for that in a secular country, but where were you Christians when a Gay church is not allowed to operate in your so called secular society, where were you Christians when Jonathan (a Christian) government makes it unlawful to practice gay, lesbianism with a 10 years imprisonments in your so called secular society, what secular society has about 5 to 10 churches in every streets of its major cities? The truth is that Nigeria is not a secular country
