Ephemmm:
And we does the term 'school uniform' comes from? Your ignorance is second to none, honestly.

School uniform? You Christians just don't get it. What we have in Nigeria today as uniforms should not be called school uniform.

Just like I posted before A public school that collects money from a any government in any multi religion state should first put into consideration all the different religious(beliefs) before deciding on a school uniform which Nigeria failed to do, what we have today in Nigeria as school uniforms were mostly designed by the so called white colonial masters and their missionary partners who's tenets of the religion were used to justify the actions of the colonists(they used Christianity to justify rape, murder, theft, and empire). If the Nigerian states can come up with a school uniform that all the different religion within its boundaries are Ok with, then fine, but if not, then it should be no uniform in any public schools. Just like public schools in the U.S. were no uniforms.

But if you still insist on this same uniforms for muslims then I think the proper thing for you to do is to go start your own private Christian school were you can have 100% freedom to decide what others can and not wear

maclatunji:
Well actually, it is just now Muslims are shaking off the effects of western imperialism that meant you could not get proper education and a place on top of society in Nigeria without western education.

And if you really want to go for classic Arab culture, you might start worshipping idols.

Sebi you want to form expert analyst?

#Yeye

Get it into your head, Islam is no man's culture but divinely ordained religion.

As for those that want to wear ceremonial clothes to school everyday, I live them in the hands of the economics of it.

#Hehe.

Thank you well said

SuperS1Panther:
Thank you for your learned and highly knowledgeable submission, that is devoid of emotions.

Fundamentally, the following questions must be answered:

1. What is a school uniform -- a dress or dressing mode to make the pupils appear the same, devoid of political, ethnic or even religious segregation.

2. Is Govt and her institution secular or religious or multireligious. All faiths that are tax payers have a stake in government and governance.

The moment a faith decides to enforce it's will on the collective property of the faiths, others will see it as injustice and also enforce their right.

Do you think Xtians dressing starts and ends with Choir Robe. For the C&S their sutana is very compulsory for them, likewise their Cap of Victory aka Fila Isegun.

Remove your mind from Xtianity and Islam, can you vouch that you know the mode of dressing of other faiths too eg Amorc, Rosicrucians, Traditionalists etc.

To prevent such anarchy, that is why a uniform was stipulated and once a faith deviates from it, it is only fair and just for others to follow suit.

A public school that collects money from a any government in any multi religion state should first put into consideration all the different religious(beliefs) before deciding on a school uniform which Nigeria failed to do, what we have today in Nigeria as school uniforms were mostly designed by the so called white colonial masters and their missionary partners who's tenets of the religion were used to justify the actions of the colonists(they used Christianity to justify rape, murder, theft, and empire).

lumeneng22:
Let the juju, the igbe, the white garment, the red ayilala and jukuns dress on theirs too.

Who's stopping them ? Definitely not we the Muslim's maybe it's the Christian yet they want to preach tolerance of other religion

Ephemmm:
You mean other religions cannot wear what they want too?

Please read my post again Muslims never stopped Christians from wearing anything they want to schools neither are muslims trying to dictate to Christians, it's you guys the Christians that always have problems with what a Muslim wear on his/her own body

You're more than welcome to dress like the Pope to school if want we're not stopping you guys if it makes you a better Christian why not put it on

Ephemmm:
[/s]

Summary please?

Summary ? All we ask is for you guys to be tolerant of the Muslims

wadetaw202:
You are right. Nigerian Muslims are known to wear traditional and cultural dresses of people from the middle east. And because you nigerian Muslims are mentally backward, you now link the garments to religion; whereas, there is no link between hijab and Islam. Hijab is the cultural and traditional way of dressing of Arabians.

Here is your link between Islam and hijab
Quran 33:59
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.

Ephemmm:
Denominations in Christianity like Baptist, Methodist, CAC, MFM, Redeem etc have different mode of dressing, likewise other religion like Sango, Obata, Osun etc. Not to talk of other religious attires.

Other religions wear it in their different religious centres too, but Muslim still want to turn public schools to religions centres to continue their evangelism after putting North into trouble through massive reproduction all in the name of religion.

Nigeria is a secular state: no religion can be claiming to have dominance in public institutions.

Please Nigeria is not a secular state. Nigerians are usually religious even though they don't really practice what they preach a very good example will be Christians preaching "tolerance of other faith" yet they refuse to let others (Muslims) practice their faith and yes wearing of the hijab is not just a dress mode but it's an act of faith mandatory for all faithful female Muslims in every public places "The Hijab is an act of faith" so refusing the hijab is like denying the Christians the right to practice one of the major mandatory acts of Christians Faith.

How come gay's and lesbians can't marry in your so secular Nigeria? I'm happy it was not a Muslim government that stopped gay marriage in Nigeria because if it was buhari, you would have been shouting "objection" Nigeria is a secular state, your hatred of the Muslim will always make you guys supports what your own Bible is openly against e.g covering of the head by female.
Some of you guys are now claiming we muslims in the SW are not tolerance of other faith. really!!! We muslims have had to tolerate the oppression of Christians directly and indirectly right from the very first day the Christian white colonial so called masters and their missionary partner set their foot in Nigeria they created a school system that only put one religion(Christianity ) into account while neglecting other faiths that were already in place (e.g Islam and traditional believe, etc). The schools uniforms only put Christians in to account when it was created.

We've had to give up our religious rest day (Friday) to go government jobs and schools yet we don't complain but Christians don't have to give up Sunday's for nothing we are not even asking you guys to give up your Sunday and we are not even asking to get whole Friday's off, all we are asking for is to be able to cover our own heads not yours, according to our our beliefs. Only god knows what our muslims fathers have had to go through just to get the schools to close at 1pm on Friday's in the past.

Christians always calls muslims intolerance when we are just demanding basic religious Rights that they as Christians themselves are already enjoying.

If I live in Nigeria and pay my taxes that is used in building public schools in Nigeria yet I'm restricted from attending the school that I indirectly paid for just because of my belief? Even in western countries hijab is allowed in public schools (secular society ) but in Nigeria we see the opposite, I think it's either mental slavery of our Christians brothers and sisters are suffering from after independence from the colonial rule or it's just their hatred for muslims.

Please Christians are more than welcome to put on whatever they want to wear schools and if they still want wear their colonial master uniform that's fine too but don't make it most for the muslims. In a truly multi religion society that really practice tolerance of all its religions then school informs should only belongs in the private schools not the other way around. This is a public school for God's sake

Christians do not question your act of faith. What they do not want is a public school multifaith school being used as a place for a public expression of faith.

[/color]Christians have a wide range of opinions on a lot of issues. What I am sure is that the anti gay law was passed easily because 100% muslims pyshed for it. Muslims initiated it and the Christian president signed it to law

your hatred of the Muslim will always make you guys supports what your own Bible is openly against e.g covering of the head by female.

[color=#000099]The so called colonial masters did not really set up the schools. Most if these schools were set up by christian missionaries with the tithes and offerings of Christians in order to educate poor africans. Whike the missionaries were ruling, the church was educating nigerians. Why didn't muslim countries fund the teaching of africans then? Why didn't they reach out to poor uneducated africans? Because they considered africans as perpetual slaves, even the arabic word for africans means a slave.. when evetually they began coming to africa, all they cared about is religious teachings and no scientific teaching. Till today, when you hear of a muslim charity, all their work is devoted to religious expansion only. Nothing holistic about them

[color=#000099]There are muslim public schools in the state. You can go there. If you want the state to allow hijab in christian public schools just like your judge has ruled, then it means Christians shoukd also be allowed to dress anyjow they want in muslim public schools.

You missed the point my question to you is that, are these your so called Christian public school receiving money from the federal or state government? If yes then you have no point to prove.

A public school that collects money from a any government in any multi religion state should first put into consideration all the different religious(beliefs) before deciding on a school uniform which Nigeria failed to do, if the state can come up with a uniform that all the different religion are Ok with, then fine, but if not, then it should be no uniform in any public schools.

ZUBY77:
This is the best news I have heard this year.

If we allow Muslims to promote their religion in public schools, we should be ready to allow other religions too.
Its high time we begin to tell these animals that Nigeria is a secular state.
If they don't like it, they should allow others to go.

Please Nigeria is not a secular state.

Fashola, enough of rhetoric.

Give us light. Even if it is not 24/7, we will do with 18/7.

You can keep your housing. We will provide our own accomodation.

Remember that generating electricity is not rocket science.

The truth is that many people like you will probably be disappointed if Fashola eventually gives you close to 24/7 electricity after 4 years.

What will you do when he BRF eventually deliver? Will start bombing pipelines too? Just to justify yourself? I really believe you'll probably never see anything good in BRF no matter what, some of you guys deeply dislike both fashola(Yoruba ) and Buhari(Hausa ) just because they both are not from your region or allied regions

YoursGEJ:
May God continue to bless and protect this man and his family. Wailers will blame you who has only been a minister for about 6 months even though their party spent over $16 billion on power and had 16 years to fix the power problem. Just know that true Nigerians are behind you and we are confident that you're doing your very best to fix the power problem

Thank you!!!!! You'll even think BRF have been the minister for over 6 to 7 years the way these hypocrites are blaming him for no lights but the facts is that he has only be in office for just 6 to 7 months this is with the fact that these hypocrites choose to to ignore pipelines bombing they might as well blame BRF for the Bombing too

sam4eva777:
I am not a Muslim but I have spent years in research and study of the Qur'an. Sadly, many Muslims are ignorant of their Holy Book. Here are a few verses in the Qur'an supporting violence and the killing of non-Muslims.

Quran (2:191-193)-"And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah[disbelief or unrest]is worse than killing...but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah[disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah]and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)
"(Translation is from the Noble Quran)
The verse prior to this (190) refers to"fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you"leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word"persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" -do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned"until religion is for Allah"- ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.

Quran (2:244)-"Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."

Quran (2:216)-"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time

. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot.

Quran (3:56)-"As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.

"Quran (3:151)-"Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers,for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".
This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah')

.Quran (4:74)-"Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.

can you quote some verses that shows Islam is a religion of peace. the few verses that speak of peace in the Qur'an fail to balance the ridiculous calls for violence and Jihad.

Yes you're very right many muslims(e.g Boko Haram, isis, al-Qaeda etc) do not understand the Quran and with all due respect that includes you too.

You're quoting the Quran wrongly you started with Quran 2-191
And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. 2-191.

You just turned the whole verse upside down like a Boko Haram member read again this verse is not really directly talking to me as a Muslim today or most Muslims alive today these verse is specifically addressing a specific sets of people at specific time in a specific situation

first of all you need to understand that the Quran as a book was not revealed to prophet Muhammad(saw) in one day it was a gradual process of revelations of chapter or sometimes this revelation is just a verse all these revelations took about 20 years was compiled together to make the Quran by Prophet Muhammad(saw)

Yes you're right the verse was revealed in Medinat even though the Prophet(saw) was from Mecca and if you have really done proper findings you'll also know that this verse was revealed after the muslims had migrated from mecca to Medinat after the fact that the muslims have been wrongfully prosecuted in mecca for a long time, up to the point that muslims were being killed by non muslims all of the muslims properties where taking away by non muslims, even the whole city of mecca boycott the muslims no one should Buy/sell to muslims in mecca during the early days of Islam this went on for about ten years or so but all along the muslims where asking the prophet (saw) if they can fight back because some Muslims were being killed too but the prophet(saw) refused because Allah have not revealed to him that muslims should fight back even though other revelations was coming from god( Allah) then(I.e about being faithful but nothing about fighting yet) but when it became unbearable for the few remaining muslims they all had to fled mecca to Medinat with nothing all their properties had been taking away from them after many years of suffering in mecca just because they are muslims

It was after the muslims have settled down in Medinat that Quran 2-191..... was revealed and that was after about 10 years of early Muslims being wrongfully prosecuted and I think there were other events that happened before this revelation on 2-191.. but I can't really remember well but it's something like that mecca government then saw that the muslims have settled down and growing in numbers in Medinat because many people in Medinat were converting to Islam then that started planning an attack on Medinat that was when the Quran verse 2-191 was revealed

If you see clearly the verse states expel them from where they have expelled you (addressing the people that have been kicked out of mecca ) the verse is not addressing me direct even I'm a Muslim and for sure not addressing Boko Haram(located in Nigeria) this verse also reminds the muslims not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram (located in mecca) in the process

I tried my little best in explaining the verse I hope you see points I'll my best to try explain your remaining points have a good day

bilazego:
Yoruba Muslims don't kill Christians because they don't understand Islamic teachings yet. This is why the Northern Muslims look down on them.

Really!! With all due respect how did you come to that conclusion that a whole Yoruba tribe don't understand Islamic teaching ? Are you now saying the northern interpretation of Islam is the true teaching while the Yoruba less violent interpretation is false? or maybe you already have a bias mindset towards Islam to be a evil religion
You what? I think you're the problem and not Islam it's people like you and the violent northern muslims(not all northern muslims are violent) you guys are the problem and if you disagree bring your proof real proof from the "QURAN or Hadith " please don't bring the actions of a ignorant muslim as proof that Islam is bad

Psylas:
Why do sharia court in Kano sentence people to death by hanging because of blasphemy?

Even though I'm a Muslim I can't really speak for the so called Sharia Court in Kano or kaduna or even Saudi Arabia or anywhere on this planet but based on my understanding of the Sharia there's no country or states or even cities on this planet that truly practice the Sharia not even Saudi Arabia or in Mecca and if anyone (muslims and non muslims included) wants to disagree I challenge you to bring your proof there's a big difference between a Islamic Country and a Muslim Country(a country with majority Muslim population) we don't really have any Islamic country or states anywhere all we have is Muslim Countries claiming to be a real Islamic Country a good example just because a Country called itself Democratic Republic of Congo or China does not make it a real Democracy Right or wrong?

Based on my understanding of Islam(Sharia ) our northern Muslims brother are in the wrong on this matter and on many occasions in the past too I think their actions are based on more of a culture thing not really on Islam how come we in the SW are not quick to start killing for Allah or Prophet Muhammad (saw)? Or how the Fulani Herdsmen killing around the country? Are Fulani herdsmen killing for Islam too? Please don't mix culture and religion together

I personally think it's negligence on the part of many muslims all over the world to sit down and study the Quran and Hadith of the prophet themselves instead of listening to one fake imam I must confess to you that I was shocked and amazed when I myself started studying the Quran, hadith and especially the biography of prophet Muhammad to finds out how simple he lived his life.

The following are some testimonies that some non-Muslim scholars, thinkers and political icons had to give about the Prophet of Islam.
Larmatine, the French scholar says:
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad?..."
-------------------------------------
Bosworth Smith says:
" ...if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports."
--------------------------------------...
Annie Besant says:
"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme..."
--------------------------------------...
Prof. C. Snouck Hurgronje :
"The league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle of international unity and human brotherhood on such universal foundations as to show candle to other nations..."

So all I can tell as a Muslim is I don't even have faith in the Kano Sharia Court System or the Saudi System they practice the opposite of the Quran and hadith they all tends to only punish poor.

gabazin080:
so wen one dies a mysterious death and no proper autopsy was done to determine the source of the death is why u like islam?

Even after the Autopsy is done will it bring back the dead? Or if we have the opportunity to ask the dead do you really think they care about the Autopsy? Nothing you do can bring back the dead they are now in a place most of us knows very little about probably experiencing God(Allah) judgement now the best thing we can do for the dead is to pray for them (May is soul rest in peace) Ameen

My Goodness, education standards have fallen really badly in Nigeria. One Nigeria is hampering the progress of the Yorubas, we are too forward thinking for this contraption called Naija, and all its wahala......
See how far we already were since the pre-independence days, and the days of proper regional governments.

Common guys why do many Nigerians like to blame our failure as a nation on One Nigeria I can almost say with guarantee that with your so called divided Nigeria we still be in the same situation (failure) as a nation if not worst.

Why do we blacks likes to blame every thing around us but ourselves and the truth for our own failures we use to blame the white man so we got independent then started blaming the military after that then we started blaming the so called civilian government now the new trend is to blame one Nigeria so if we divide now and still have our problems who will you blame next? A good example is South Sudan.

The average Nigerian(Black man) always wants the fruits(dividends) of democracy yet he's not yet ready to be a democratic citizen are we ready to pay our taxes?, are we ready to vote for a candidate based on the content of his/her character or based on the candidate's ethnicity or religion? are we ready to hold our leaders accountable even if they are from the same region or religion with us?

We as a people messed up bid time if I will have to blame anybody I'll start with myself(I'm a Yoruba Guy) and yourself and every Nigeria ( including civilian and the government)

keally:
are Nigerian muslims more Islamic than Chadian muslims?

My question to you is are Chadian muslims more Islamic than Nigerian? Or are Northern Nigerian Muslims more Islamic than Southern Nigerian muslims? Why not leave that to God (Allah) to answer

AgentOfAllah:
Islam is an inherently violent religion. To claim that there are no instances where Mohammad ordered the killing of people for deriding him is simply false!
There are two prominent instances where this happened, his call to assassinate Asma bint Marwan and Abu Afak, both, for writing poems against his person and religion.

Cherry-picking verses in the Quran that cloak the violence of Islam does not change this.

You know what? You're the one Cherry-picking verses you cannot even quote verses of the Quran that supports your so called believe of Islam it's always better for you to give references when making allegations against any religion (e.g verse number or what chapters numbers) let me give you an example on how to criticize a religion But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.’” Luke 19:27 that's according to the Bible itself so if you really want to criticize Islam do your homework and bring real proof not fabrications have a nice day

Lol... I'm laughing in tears.
please if you have an issue with Jamb , trash it out without dragging Christianity into it. that's the mature to handle things. this speaks volume about your religion hope you know?

How do you expect Jamb to see the faces of those ladies writing the exam if their faces were covered?
The dates and time for exam is not peculiar to Muslim candidates alone!

Really? Please give us a break Hijab don't cover anybody's face but the Niqab does and please read the article again it clearly says Hijab. I have just one question for you and please be truthful with your answer have you seen any Muslim female secondary school student wearing a Niqab or Burka to secondary school?

cana882:
I get now.. thanks

You are very welcome

cana882:
Please our Muslim brethren, can u educate us on the reason for covering of faces.. I believe their face was well exposed once in their life so why the hiding of identity?

Covering of the face is not mandatory in Islam but it's also not disallowed some Muslim women usually in the minority cover there faces out of faith some do it because it makes them feel closer to God by being modest.
Only the Hijab and Chador is mandatory for Muslim women but the Niqab and Burka are also accepted but not mandatory as a Muslim I strongly believe that a Muslim woman can show her face out of necessity especially if it's required by law.
Let's face the truth about this whole hijab issue do all you guys really think the real suicide bomber will actually put the bomb on their HEADS under the hijab? Reports after reports worldwide have shown us that suicide bomber usually wear a suicide vest or belt on the body not on the head the truth is that many non muslims just don't agree with the hijab for whatever reason

Lukay99
All the quranic verse you provide are conditional love, Allah only love the believers, the quran commandment of love is straight forward to only the believers, what you are doing now is , trying to bring contradiction in the quran,I provide a verse in the op which say Allah only love the believers and you are trying to bring another verse that say Allah love the believers and unbelievers, is this not contradiction ? Although you failed to provide the verse that talk about unconditional love for ALL. But an attempt mean contradiction.

Check this out:

Matthew 5:38-48
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye
for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h]
39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and
pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what
reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Now read verse 47 again, verse 47 talk about conditional love and it went on to say , EVEN THE SINNER can love those who love them. Is it not what Allah commanded the muslims to do ?

Just like you said Allah's love is conditional, do you really think your God in your Bible do not have conditional love too ? my question to you is this, what's the purpose of life ? Why are we put on this planet? Are we not all put for a test ? Whoever passes go to Heaven and whoever fails goes to Hell (this is the truth for both religion) at the end of the day when it's all said and done the God of both Quran and Bible will put unbelievers in the Hot blazing fire for ever and ever and ever and ever is this what you call unconditional love in your Bible? The truth is that God does not like/love evil but God love/like good deed or righteousness the Quran is more realistic on this issue about God's love even though Allah from the Quran dislike evil or unbelievers it also said this about unbeliever “God does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who have neither fought against your faith nor driven you out of your homes. In fact God loves the equitable.” Qur’an:60:8 from this verse you can see that even though Allah dislike unbeliever we as muslims still can still be kind and equitable with non muslims as long as they are not trying to fight the Muslims

Read this In the Name of Allah the most Beneficent the mist Merciful who are you to tell us which Allah attribute is the least one how did you come to the conclusion that Love is not Allah's number one attribute do you even know if all his attributes are all equally his main attributes?

Please pardon my curiosity ; I have always wanted to know, do Muslims believe in miracles? Like healing the sick and physically challenged...

Really want to know..

Yes Muslims do believe in miracles Muslims also do believe that the Quran is one of God greatest Miracle or the greatest Miracle to mankind The Quran (Koran, the book of Islam) contains scientific knowledge that could not have been known 1400 years ago. It ranges from basic arithmetics to the most advanced topics in astrophysics.
One of the Great Miracles [74:35]
The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never found in any human authored book. Every element of the Quran is mathematically composed — the suras, the verses, the words, the number of certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many other elements of the Quran besides its content. There are two major facets of the Quran's mathematical system: (1) The mathematical literary composition, and (2) The mathematical structure involving the numbers of suras and verses. Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the slightest distortion of the Quran's text or physical arrangement is immediately exposed.
Simple to Understand Impossible to Imitate
For the first time in history we have a scripture with built-in proof of divine authorship — a superhuman mathematical composition.
Any reader of this book can easily verify the Quran's mathematical miracle. The word “God” (Allah) is written in bold capital letters throughout the text. The cumulative frequency of occurrence of the word “God” is noted at the bottom of each page in the left hand corner. The number in the right hand corner is the cumulative total of the numbers for verses containing the word “God.” The last page of the text, Page 372, shows that the total occurrence of the word “God” is 2698, or 19x142. The total sum of verse numbers for all verses containing the word “God” is 118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19x6217).
Nineteen is the common denominator throughout the Quran's mathematical system.
This phenomenon alone suffices as incontrovertible proof that the Quran is God's message to the world. No human being(s) could have kept track of 2698 occurrences of the word “God,” and the numbers of verses where they occur. This is especially impossible in view of (1) the age of ignorance during which the Quran was revealed, and (2) the fact that the suras and verses were widely separated in time and place of revelation. The chronological order of revelation was vastly different from the final format (Appendix 23). However, the Quran's mathematical system is not limited to the word “God;” it is extremely vast, extremely intricate, and totally comprehensive.

Ishaq 243 I heard the Apostle say: 'Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!' He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks.... Allah sent down concerning him: 'To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful doom." [9:61] "Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, 'If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey's.'

Sahih Bukhari 9:89:256 Allah's Apostle said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin.“

Ishaq 450 It is your folly to fight the Apostle, for Allah's army is bound to disgrace you. We brought them to the pit. Hell was their meeting place. We collected them there, black slaves, men of no descent.

Ishaq 374 The black troops and slaves of the Meccans cried out and the Muslims replied, ‘Allah destroy your sight, you impious rascals.

"The Prophet said, ‘Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him.... If he [the black slave] asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession [to get into paradise], his intercession will be denied.'"

Sahih Muslim 3901 There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).

Qur'an [39.60] And on the day of resurrection you shall see those who lied against Allah; their faces shall be blackened. Is there not in hell an abode for the proud?

The following verses differ between the Warsh version (popular in Africa) and the Hafs versions (popular in Middle East) of the Quran: 7:57, 9:37, 2:259, 3:81, 6:96, 1:4, 2:140, 2:125, 3:146, 2:132, 91:15, 2:132, 3:133, 5:45, 2:139, 3:81, 2:259, 2:214, 2:9, 2:184 & 28:48.

different hadiths that are related to race from different sources

And finally, to end it -

Edward Wilmot Blyden, himself a black man and former slave, wrote in 1874:
The eloquent Adzan or Call to Prayer, which to this day summons at the same hours millions of the human race to their devotions, was first uttered by a Negro, Bilal by name, whom Mohammed, in obedience to a dream, appointed the first Muezzin or Crier. And it has been remarked that even Alexander the Great is in Asia an unknown personage by the side of this honoured Negro.
(Mohammedanism and the Negro Race)

May Allah(swa) guide both Muslims and Non-Muslims who still harbour racial feelings or hatred against one another.

ByfireByfire:
There's no love in that evil religion. Its 100% bitterness, hate,bloodshed. If a Muslim ever shows love its only because he saw a Christian examplify it. Yet at that many of them respond to love with suspicion, aggression and violence cos the concept is so foreign to them.

100% bitterness? Really
Please I beg everyone reading this (non Muslim and Muslim too) please take your time and try to read everything below or read as much you can and if God wills you might have a better understanding of Islam

Quranic verses (words of Allah)
For those that do care to know the truth and the Quran if it really says anything about love all I have to say is there are many many verses that talks about love which you normally don't hear from the media


And speak good to people [al-Baqarah 2:83]

And fulfil the Covenant of Allaah when you have covenanted [al-Nahl 16:91]

Verily! Allaah commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due [al-Nisa’ 4:58]

And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift) [al-Isra’ 17:29]

Eat and drink, but waste not by extravagance [al-A’raaf 7:31]

And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is al-taqwa (piety, righteousness) [al-Baqarah 2:197]

By no means shall you attain al-birr (righteousness) until you spend (in Allaah’s cause) of that which you love [Aal ‘Imraan 3:92]

And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance [al-Isra’ 17:37]

And turn not your face away from men with pride [Luqmaan 31:18]

And be moderate (or show no arrogance) in your walking, and lower your voice [Luqmaan 31:19]

And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allaah as a favour to Allaah) [al-Muddaththir 74:6]

“O ye who believe! Do not squander one another’s wealth in vanities, but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good will.” Qur’an:4:29

“When my servants ask thee (O, Muhammad) concerning Me, tell them I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me.” Qur’an:2:186

“God does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who have neither fought against your faith nor driven you out of your homes. In fact God loves the equitable.” Qur’an:60:8


“Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein, and whoever recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burdens” Qur’an:4:85

“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden (paradise) whose width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous – Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain (their) anger and pardon (all) men – for God loves those who do good.” Qur’an:3:133-134

“Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily, to them will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.” Qur’an:16:97

The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. God gives manifold increase to whom He wishes. God has boundless knowledge. Those who spend their wealth in the cause of God, and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or injure the feeling of the recipient, shall get their reward from their Lord; they shall have nothing to fear or to regret.Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. Qur’an:2:261-263


“O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you.” (Holy Quran: 2, 208)

“There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned.” (Holy Quran: 2/ 256)


“God does not love corruption”. (Surat al-Baqara, 205)

“Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility with them and He put love and mercy between your (hearts) : verily in that are signs for those who reflect.”
[Surah Ar-Rum 30:21]

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If anyone transgresses and receives punishment in this world, God is too just to repeat the punishment of His servant in the next. And if anyone transgresses and God conceals it and forgives him, He is too generous to go back upon a thing He has forgiven.” Al-Tirmidhi:1023

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Do you know who will go first on the Day of Resurrection to the shade of God…Those who when given what is right accept it, when asked for something give freely and who judge in favor of others as they do for themselves.” Al-Tirmidhi:1042

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O God, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man and resurrect me in the company of the poor..” His wife asked him why he said that, and he replied: “Because (the poor) will enter Paradise (before) the rich.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once saw the corpse of a woman who had been killed in a military action, and he disapproved of it and forbade the killing of women and children.Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and his successor as head of the Muslim community, advised one of his military commanders: “Do not kill women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place.” Al-Muwatta:V21N9-10

When asked what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did while in his house, his wife Ayesha relied: “He used to keep busy serving and helping members of the household.”Anas bin Malik related that: “(Even the humblest) maid servant of Madinah would take the Prophet’s hand and take him to any place (for the redress of her grievances).” Riyadh-us-Salaheen:605-606

A person who acquires knowledge, acquires his full share (of this legacy).” Riyadh-us-Salaheen:1388

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Verily, if Allah has loved a servant, He calls Gabriel, upon him be peace, and says, “I love so-and-so, therefore love him.” So Gabriel loves him. Then he calls out in heaven, saying, “Allah loves so-and-so, therefore love him.” And the inhabitants of heaven love him. Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has disliked a servant, He calls Gabriel and says, “I dislike so-and-so, therefore dislike him.” So Gabriel dislikes him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven, “Allah dislikes so-and-so, therefore dislike him.” So they dislike him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth.
[Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Number 6373]


The Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“The most perfect believer in faith is the one whose character is finest and who is kindest to his wife.”

Reiyvinn:
An Islamic tradition quotes Muhammad as
saying Allah has destined all the Black people
in the world for Hell Fire, while the Whites are
destined for Heaven.
.
The holy prophet said: Allah created Adam.
Then He stroke his right shoulder and took out a
white race as if they were seeds, and He stroke
his left shoulder and took out a black race as if
they were coals. Then He said to those who
were on his right side: Towards paradise and I
don't care. He said to those who were on his
left shoulder: Towards hell and I don't care.
(Mishkat vol III, P. 117)



Muhammad owned several black slaves.
Muslim scholar Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya relies
heavily on the prophet's biographies written by
great early Islamic scholars. He is regarded by
Muslims as an authority, a primary source and
a leader amongst Islamic scholars. He tells us
in his book, "Zad al-Ma'ad" (part 1, pp.
114-116), the following:
"These are the names of Muhammad's male
slaves: Yakan Abu Sharh, Aflah, 'Ubayd,
Dhakwan, Tahman, Mirwan, Hunayn, Sanad,
Fadala Yamamin, Anjasha al-Hadi, Mad'am,
Karkara, Abu Rafi', Thawban, Ab Kabsha, Salih,
Rabah, Yara Nubyan, Fadila, Waqid, Mabur, Abu
Waqid, Kasam, Abu' Ayb, Abu Muwayhiba, Zayd
Ibn Haritha, and also a black slave called
Mahran."

Even today in Saudi Arabia, the heartland of
Islam, the common word for "Black" is "Abd",
also meaning "slave".

From these Hadiths, an African Muslim must know
he has no place in the Islamic Paradise, even if
he dies fighting Jihad.

This is a false accusation again the Prophet Muhammad(saw) common guys this Man have been dead for over 1600 years yet you guys still will not him be, the link to your false information is fake no matter what you say about him Muhammad (saw) you cannot change his true records he never owned slaves but he actually freed slaves a good example was his adopted son Zaiyd the was a freed slave let me shear with you his last sermon to mankind be he died
The Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon


This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H.
in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca).

After praising, and thanking Allah he said:

"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib (Prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived...

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.

All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

O People, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O ALLAH, that I have conveyed your message to your people".

truthman2012:
Firstly, this issue of Muhammad marrying his adopted son's wife is just one of the questions, what about the others? Why are you silent on them?

1. What made Zaid (the adopted son) divorce Zynab before Muhammad married her? Give authentic hadith, which was the words and deed of Muhammad and not the opinion of an islamic cleric that has no authoritave backing. I believe Zaid was forced to divorce his wife for Muhammad to marry.

2. Which prophets of old married the divorced wives of their adopted sons that allah was referring to as stated in the OP?

3. Which prophets before Muhammad satan cast his words into their mouths, which they declared to the people before God came in to cancel them as asked in the OP?

When allah knew he was going to cancel children adoption, why did he say it was no more a sin for muslims to marry the wives of their adopted sons? Did he not know he would cancel it?

Please answer the questions directly and not irrelevant talks. I have to repeat the questions because I suspect cover-up and avoidance.

Salaam alaykum truthman2012 aka Mr Twister I will answer your questions we know you dislike Islam with pride but why do you like twisting the meaning of the Quran? Why ? Why? Yet you call yourself truthman (aka Mr Twister)

In the OP you asked two questions but somehow it turns into 3 questions

1- you said. What made Zaid (the adopted son) divorce Zynab before Muhammad married her? Give authentic hadith,

Ok Mr twister you are twisting the thing upside down now we have a situation where you quoted us a verse in the Quran about Allah saying to Muhammad it is lawful for him to marry Zaid ex-wife nothing in this verse says anything about why zaid divorced his ex -wife and none of us muslims on NL are said anything on why Zaid divorce his wife it you Mr TWISTER (truthman) that claimed you know why Zaid divorced his wife so don't Twist things around it's we the Muslims that should be asking you how did you know that Zaid was forced to divorce his wife(Zynab) so you give us real proof i.e authentic hadith. It's like me accusing you of stealing 20 billion naira from CBN then expect you to bring proof to defend my accusation don't you think I should be the one the should bring proof to back my accusation again you?

2- You said Which prophets of old married the divorced wives of their adopted sons that allah was referring to as stated in the OP?

Mr Twister the verse never said that any of the previous Prophets married their adopted son's EX wife before it is you who twisting the meaning

Quran 33:38 There is not to be upon the Prophet any discomfort concerning that which Allah has imposed upon him. [This is] the established way of Allah with those [prophets] who have passed on before. And ever is the command of Allah a destiny decreed

Read it again Allah was just telling Muhammad (saw) that he shouldn't shy from what he (Allah the legislature) have imposed on him just like he had given orders to the previous Prophets the verse did not state what orders where given to the previous prophets


3- this is what you said Which prophets before Muhammad satan cast his words into their mouths, which they declared to the people before God came in to cancel them as asked in the OP?

This is what the original verse said
Quran 22:52
Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:

What you are failing to understand is that the Quran is not saying that this prophets were being used by the devil but what it's saying is that everytime Allah sends a prophet with a message to the people Satan always finds a way to corrupt this message for example if you narrate a story to one person and if at the end of this story you tell the person to pass this story on to someone else by the time this story would have gone through let say 100 thousand people if you check these story again it will not be exactly as you narrated it in the first place people may have added/subtract from the original story there may even be more than one version of the story this is how Satan works and this is what the verse in Quran 22:52 is telling you about Satan always corrupting the message not the messenger

NEXT Questions please Mr TWISTER?

truthman2012:
Where are the islamic apologists in the house?

As allahh declared himself not the God of the Jews and Christians, who is he?

Who is Allah?
* He is Allah, (the) One.
* Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all
creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
* He begets not, nor was He begotten;
* "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

Quran112:1-4

Next QUESTION PLEASE?

This is glaring overwhelming evidence from both the holy bible and the evil quoran that allah is indeed satan. Muslims what more evidence do you need

Overwhelming evidence? Common guys how can you just take another religious text and twisted its meaning. just to justify your own religious beliefs tolerance of our Christians brothers/sisters is been displayed right here on NL yet you guys are always quick to accuse Islam of intolerant of other religions

Quran 3:54 says And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Iesa (Jesus)], and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners

Quran 8:30 says And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you (O Muhammad SAW) to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah); they were plotting and Allah too was planning, and Allah is the Best of the planners.
