Shukron yah ustadh. nice one

be ready to come to court to proof your assertion that I am a terrorist. can you tell me why I am terrorist? For sharing posts for you people to see?

new2012:
There's a huge difference between hatred and whatever u smoked.

Freewill to read a course u know so well abhors hijab and kidnap.. Does that make sense to you? Wtf!

How can you compare both scenarios? Are you legally blind?

There's sharia law, why didn't firadus read that? So she can hijab all her days? Do your sharia courts allow women now?


Dude, you're completely not well... The same schooling firadus went freely because it was in an enlightened area of Nigeria is what Boko haram is attempting to stop for Leah. They are pushing those girls out of school or else why should they go to school when they can get kidnapped? Did u not read that they preached to them to avoid schools?


How can u compare someone with freewill to someone beside a trigger happy terrorist?

You must be a terrorist yourself for such!

new2012:
Both you and the writer have bruised mentality.

How can u compare intentional actions to forced actions?


It's obvious your kind are capable of kidnapping such little girls to make a point..

You and the writer have the spirit to kidnap, u may not know it yet.

Clear your hatred then u will understand

femi4:
No sense. At the point of death, she ll remove that hijab

Can you re read my post and see what the writer meant

Nutase:
you will remember this day 28/03/2018 in the nearest future when karma comes knocking on your door. Mark my words.

But you too can pray your daughter be deprived her constitution right and be disallowed to graduate during her graduations in the country you pay tax. You will understand how painful it is too.

Nutase:
you will remember this day 28/03/2018 in the nearest future when karma comes knocking on your door. Mark my words.

Anyway, since I didn't wish for anyone, then God will judge between I and you. That's it. Ire o

ReinaFarine:
What does the Qur'an teaches?

You must cover your hair or You must wear the hijab?

The rosary.... True Catholics always wear the rosary.

Deeper life never wear trousers. Ever. Except they decide to serve their country.

OK let me tell you sir if you were given false point. God asked them to use Hijab to cover their body and not the hair alone sir. I am now asking you sir, do all these people you mentioned wear all those you mentioned respectively to official places rather than their religion places. If your answer is yes and it is their God that mandated them, then Nigeria Government should allow them too but I have not seen any of those you mentioned that will dress like that to a wedding ceremony and other public functions whereas those sisters wear their Hijab everywhere even at home to obey their God instruction. Pls let's understand one another, it is not about fighting for a religion but I think it is something we should all understand. If you are kind that've travelled to other countries with even less Muslims population, you will see Hijab or no Hijab is not a problem there, they see using it as their right. Thanks for your matured debate and time sir.

Nutase:
what hatred are you talking about?? I don't harbour hate for anyone. NBA has notable top Moslems who can fight there case. You should be channeling your complaints to them. Besides hijab doesn't make anyone holy. Go to the north and see what hijab represents. Prostitutes use hijab to stand by the road.

How does hijab now compare to a girl being held against her will.

Be careful what you say NL may be a faceless forum but you are not faceless to God and the laws of nature in case you don't believe in god.

A tested law of nature is Karma. You might just be setting up yourself and your loved ones to be kidnap victims.

You don't need to use another mans pains to prove a point. If you cannot pray for her safe release then leave her and her family alone to suffer in silence.

You are not the kind to exchange words. I was using pain to prove point rather using pain to prove pain because it is so painful to Amasa and we her family for disallowing our daughter be called to bar in the name of her constitution rights in the country we pay tax. Look, if you can hatred or love for a particular can not make you just then stop waisting your hand typing what is not. I rebook all the negative things you have been saying only because of your unjust and hatred. Iree ooo

ReinaFarine:
Two things:

Is the embargo only on hijab? Are there not other religious belief affected by the rules and regulation?

Is the hijab the identification mark of a true Muslim female or covered hair? Can her hair be completely covered by the wig?

Yes, Hijab is the identification sir. Can you tell me other religious belief that wear their costumes to an official function if not only to thier worshipping place. Everyone knows those sisters do.

Nutase:
How insensitive can one be to draw a comparison between someone that is forcibly held against her own will became of her beliefs and someone who knew the rules of a profession and decided to flaunt them.


No one forced the lady to study law but Leah is being held captive against her will.

I believe you have sisters and probably daughters or you will have some in the future if you do not have them now.
I pray none of them goes through the trauma of kidnap were they can be subjected to rape and so many unmentionable things.


Religion has destroyed our humanity. It has made us monsters. You just see Leah as another christian casualty that is why you are so insensitive to draw this comparison.

Remember we are all FIRST human beings before subscribing to any religion.


I kindly appeal to your conscience (think of Leah as your sister or daughter) to delete this post and beg god to forgive you.

Remember we all reap what we sow.

But common sense should tell you too that NBA is a public institutions and all citizens should be not be hindered. We all know, Hijab is part of this people's dressing but your hatred and unjust will not let you reason like that. Off your hatred for Hijab and Muslims then you will understand what I mean

ReinaFarine:
Two completely different scenarios.

If Leah was asked to cover her hair in front of the terrorist because it is against their rules for a woman's hair to be uncovered, it differentiate from saying change your religion and denounce your faith. She can cover her hair even with the hijab and remain a christian. But she can't deny her God when itbi tough and claim Christianity.

On the other hand, if Firdausi had respectfully covered her hair with the wig and design one in a way all of her hair will be covered and respected her religion, then this will be a non issue.

Two,

Leah didn't intentionally visit the boko haram's den. If she went there of her own volition to greet someone there or do some business transaction with them, she MUST respect their wishes. They have laws guiding communication and if they say they won't talk to a matured unmarried lady with uncovered hair, that is their decision that she must respect if she wants to talk to them. But they kidnapped her, and her forcing her to remain there without respecting her wish.

Firdausi chose to study law. She accepted to live by the laws of NBA knowing that they choose the dress regulations for the call to bar ceremony. If she can no longer abide by the laws, the document she signed said she would forfeit being a lawyer. She signed this document without coercion or threat.

If I refuse to accept that I'm a Muslim and believe in Allah and other professions, I'm am not allowed to comment on certain threads on Nairaland. If I don't want to make such because I feel I am denying my God by saying that, I don't commentbon such threads. I was not start suing Seun and threatening riots. I can go to other forums and say whatever I want to say and tag whoever I want yo read it.

The best I can do is try to reason with him to at least make similar concessions for my religion.

No judge will make Seun pay for damages for whatever rule(s) he made on his thread. I read and accepted by them if I want to be a nairalander.

You are comparing what is not comparable. Amass can't deny her God too. And are you telling me now NBA is not for all citizens of Nigeria? Since it is a public institutions, why is embargo placed on Hijab in the first instance when they know it is part of dressings of some citizens who jointly pay tax for the construction. The thing is you guy should be sincere first, then you will understand all these. Are Muslim sisters not Nigerian? Or what are u telling me sir?

Then how is Nairaland related to Nigeria. Naira land is owned by seun. Nigeria is own by all.

I hope and pray our sister Leah Saribu be released by this guy but let's try to be just in this country. Honestly to me, I see no reason for much national deliberation on whether some part of the citizen of this country be allowed to put Hijab on their head or not. Can you kindly ask those against them whether they force them or their children to put on thier head? Honestly it is annoying

Lalasticlala I hope you can see sense here sir.

Yoruba call them Igbo

Allahu Akbar! though we dont need to be told Quran was found in the hand of a baby or in a tree befor WE believe in the oneness of Allah and his prophet

I am coming for you guys

Is chatting with opposite sex on social media comes under Khulwa that is prohibited:

https://www.nairaland.com/4413633/chatting-opposite-sex-khulwa-prohibited

Praise be to Allah

Firstly:

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “No man should be alone with a woman unless there is a mahram present.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5233) and Muslim (1341).

What is meant by khulwah in this hadith is physically being alone together.

The reason for this prohibition is that it is thought that this khulwah will lead to falling into what is prohibited (haraam), because it enables the Shaytaan to instill such temptation. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) referred to that when he said: “Indeed, no man is alone with a woman but the Shaytaan is the third one present.” Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2165); he said: This is a hasan saheeh ghareeb hadith with this isnad. al-Haakim said in al-Mustadrak (1/114): It is saheeh according to the conditions of the two shaykhs [al-Bukhaari and Muslim], and adh-Dhahabi agreed with him. It was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel (6/215).

Al-Minnaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“but the Shaytaan is the third one present” by means of his waswasah (whispers), stirring up of desire, dispelling of modesty, and encouragement to commit sin, until he tempts them to commit the act of intercourse or that which is less than it of precursors that will soon lead to it. This hadith proves that it (khulwah) is haraam.

End quote from Fayd al-Qadeer (3/78).

The prohibition on being alone with a non-mahram woman comes under the heading of barring ways that lead to shameful deeds. This is one of the fundamental principles of our religious teaching.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The basic principle is that anything that is a means that leads to fitnah (temptation) is not permissible, because the means that lead to mischief must be barred, if that is not outweighed by a greater interest.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (15/419).

If a man talks to a non-mahram woman in a private chat on social media websites – even if it does not come under the heading of the khulwah discussed by the fuqaha’ – this is still a means that leads to fitnah (temptation) and mischief, so it is disallowed for that reason.

If looking, shaking hands and the like are forbidden, so as to block the means of being tempted by the woman, even if there is no khulwah, then disallowing private conversation, especially among young people and those who are thought most likely to be vulnerable to temptation, also comes under that heading.

There are many religious texts which forbid seeking enjoyment in talking to a non-mahram woman and finding pleasure in listening to her voice and looking at her; this is regarded as a type of zina.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), that “Allah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of zina, which he will inevitably get. The zina of the eyes is looking and the zina of the tongue is speaking. The heart wishes and hopes, and the private part confirms that or denies it.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6243), Muslim (2657). Ahmad (27430) added: “And the zina of the ears is listening.”

With some people, the matter may go as far as the Shaytaan tempting them to the extent that they take off their clothes for one another (exchanging nude photos etc).

Undoubtedly the Shaytaan has many traps into which people fall, such as mischief, desires and temptations. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I have not left behind me among the people any fitnah (trial) that is more harmful to men than women.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5096) and Muslim (2741).

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe”

[al-A‘raaf 7:27].

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

So Allah has forbidden the children of Adam to be tempted by the temptation of the Shaytaan, as their parents were tempted, by disobeying Allah and obeying the Shaytaan in going against the commands and prohibitions of Allah.

He stripped the parents of their clothing, and in like manner he may strip their offspring of the garment of piety (taqwa) and their physical garments, so that they show their private parts.

End quote from al-Istiqaamah (2/170).

To sum up, for a man to chat with a non-mahram woman on social media websites, in a chat room away from other visitors and subscribers, does not come under the heading of the khulwah that is forbidden,

But it is disallowed because of what it involves of temptation and the likelihood of mischief.

So Muslim men and women should avoid such contact, unless it is for a greater religious purpose, such as asking questions of scholars, or it is for a legitimate worldly purpose, in which case the conversation should be only as much as is needed, without unnecessary chitchat and going off topic.

And Allah knows best

Rashduct4luv:
It's high time we stopped fasting the whole of Rajab...It's sheer ignorance to fast for Rajab, Shaaban and Ramadan plus six Shawwal = Almost 96 fasts. May Allah purge us of all the these Do'eef and Mawdoo' Hadiths!

Baba, ignorance is a disease

I bet after reading below, you will think twice before you quote this Ayah again:



When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you. And when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. (Deutronomy 7:1-2)

“When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself; and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you… Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes (Deuteronomy 20:10-17)

Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

Even in the New Testament we read the following statements attributed to Jesus saying to his disciples:

“I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence. (Luke 19:26-27)

"Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. I am sent to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law" (Matthew 10:34-35).

Are these from the Quran too

yomi96:
They are more Muslims than he can ever be this fool sits in Lagos and says rubbish, he should go to borno and tell them they are not Muslims.
the Quran says and I quote

9:29 - Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.


4:89 - They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.

Islam preaches peace. Boko Haram are not Muslim. Beware of propaganda

22nd March, 2018

FG SHOULD NEGOTIATE RELEASE OF CHRISTIAN GIRL


Boko Haram insurgents yesterday returned 104 out of the 110 girls abducted on 19thFebruary, 2018. Five of them had reportedly died while one, Leah Sherubu, was not released. According to Khadija Grema, one of the freed girls, Leah was not released because she is a Christian and she refused to put on hijab or convert.

 
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) condemns Boko Haram’s attempt to compel Leah to use hijab. Equally reprehensible is the attempt to force her to convert to Islam.


We reiterate for the umpteenth time that Boko Haram’s doctrine is heretical and its methods stand in contradistinction to those of pristine Islam. The Glorious Qur’an asserts that there is no compulsion in Islam (2:256). It says Allah himself could have made the whole mankind Muslims if He had wished (11:118). It forbids forceful conversion or punishment of non-Muslims by Muslims and limits the role of Muslims to admonitions alone (lasta alayhinm bimusaytirin 88: 21 – 24). Furthermore, it declares that each shall have the right to follow his or her religion (lakunm diinukunm wa liya diin 109:1 – 6).

 
Once again we reject Boko Haram as an Islamic group. We urge the leadership and members of the group to re-examine its ideological base. Leah Sherubu must be set free because the basis for holding her after setting her schoolmates free is faulty and unIslamic.

We invite the Federal Government (FG) to widen the scope of dialogue with Boko Haram by incorporating doctrinal issues. Islamic scholars should be involved in such discussions with the insurgents. This process is sine qua non for the deradicalisation of Boko Haram. Military defeat of Boko Haram alone amounts to a pyrrhic victory without ideological re-engineering.

 
We charge (FG) to go back to the negotiation table in order to secure the release of the only Christian girl among the Dapchi girls who is being held back by the insurgents. Nigerians have been united in their prayers for the release of the Dapchi girls. FG should note that Boko Haram is not as daft as many people think. By withholding the Christian girl, they seek to divide Nigerians once again along religious lines.


MURIC expresses solidarity with the parents of Leah Sherubu, the Christian girl in captivity. Our hearts are heavy with grief over her plight. We salute her courage. Shame on Boko Haram for oppressing a lone, vulnerable and helpless girl. Shame on all those who suppress freedom of worship. We appeal to Nigerians to invoke special prayers in the mosques and churches for this Christian girl who had the courage to stare her oppressors in the face. We should also continue to pray for the remaining Chibok girls.

 
As we round up, we repeat our exhortation to the Nigerian authorities: to set Leah Sherubu free is a task that must be done.

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:

The month of Rajab is one of the sacred months of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein”

[al-Tawbah 9:36]

The sacred months are: Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram.

Al-Bukhaari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.

These months are called sacred for two reasons:

1- Because fighting therein is forbidden unless initiated by the enemy

2- Because transgression of the sacred limits therein is worse than at other times.

Hence Allaah has forbidden us to commit sins during these months, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“wrong not yourselves therein”

[al-Tawbah 9:36]

Although committing sins is haraam and forbidden during these months and at other times, in these months it is more forbidden.

Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said (p. 373):

In the phrase “wrong not yourselves therein”, the pronoun may be understood as referring to twelve months. Allaah states that He has made them a measure of time for His slaves, which they may use for worshipping Him, and thank Allaah for His blessings, and they serve the interests of His slaves, so beware of wronging yourselves therein.

The pronoun may also be understood as referring to the four sacred months, and this forbids them to wrong themselves in those months in particular, as well as it being forbidden to do wrong at all times, because it is more forbidden at this time, but it is worse at this time than at others. End quote.

Secondly:

With regard to fasting the month of Rajab, there is no saheeh hadeeth to indicate that there is any special virtue in fasting all or part of this month.

What some people do, singling out some days of Rajab for fasting, believing that they are better than others, has no basis in sharee’ah.

But there is a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months (and Rajab is one of the sacred months). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fast some days of the sacred months and not others.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2428; classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef Abi Dawood.

Even if this hadeeth were saheeh, it indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months. So if a person fasts during Rajab because of this, and he also fasts in the other sacred months, there is nothing wrong with that. But singling out Rajab for fasting is not right.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (25/290):

As for fasting in Rajab in particular, the ahaadeeth concerning that are all da’eef (weak), and in fact mawdoo’ (fabricated). The scholars do not rely on any of them. They are not among the da’eef ahaadeeth which have been narrated concerning virtues, rather most of them are fabricated and false. In al-Musnad and elsewhere there is a hadeeth which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined fasting the sacred months, namely Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, but this has to do with fasting during all of them, not just Rajab. End quote.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Every hadeeth which mentions fasting in Rajab and praying during some of its nights is false and fabricated.” End quote from al-Manaar al-Muneef, p. 96

Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in Tabyeen al-‘Ajab (p. 11)

There is no saheeh hadeeth that would count as evidence which speaks of the virtue of the month of Rajab, or that speaks of fasting this month or part of it, or of spending any particular night of it in prayer.

Shaykh Sayyid Saabiq (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Fiqh al-Sunnah (1/282):

Fasting in Rajab is no better than fasting in any other month, except that it is one of the sacred months. There is no report in the saheeh Sunnah to suggest that there is anything special about fasting in this month. Whatever has been narrated concerning that is not fit to be quoted as evidence. End quote.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer. He replied:

Fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer is a bid’ah (innovation), and every bid’ah is a going astray. End quote.

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 20/440.

Allah says:

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Allaah, the Most High, stated in his praise of the believers: “The believers are nothing else than brothers. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.” Q49:10. Similar verse includes: Q59:10, 49:12, Q3:103, Q9:71. The rights of a Muslim brother in the hadith include the followings:

1. A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim. So,

* Do not harbour hatred against one another,
* Do not artificially inflate prices against one another,
* Do not be jealous of one another,
* Do not turn desert one another,
* One of you should not enter into a transaction when the other has already entered into it; rather be brothers one to another and servants of Allah.
* A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim;
* He does not wrong him, and
* Does not desert him, nor despise him. Piety is found here [pointing three times to his chest; despising his Muslim brother is enough of an evil for any man to fall into.
* Every Muslim’s blood, property and honour are unlawful to be violated by another Muslim.” Muslim, Bulooghul-Maram 1539

2. You’re not truly believes until..? he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” al-Bukhari (13) and Muslim (45), Ahmad (12734)

3. Do not outweigh your brother; he should not enter into a transaction when his brother had already entered into but not finalised… Muslim 1412

May Allaah grant us understanding of His religion

Mynd44 kindly clarify this issue first before I ask lalasticlala to shed more light on it. It is even giving me headache

You weep a times while reading Nigeria news most especially Boko Haram. But something is not clear to me about the issue BOKO HARAM, FG negotiated for the release of few Chibok girls, early yesterday, they brought the recently abducted girls themselves. Who are FG negotiating with? How come they (mediator) know them (Boko Haram)? Does that mean FG know those in charge? But remember people are dieing daily on this issue of Boko Haram. Our military men are always killed by those guys and FG claimed they negotiate with them, but why not negotiate with them to end the terrorism. This to me is an irony.

If truly you negotiate with Boko Haram and it is not politics like people claimed, why can't you negotiate with them to put end to terrorism? Or what's your view?
