I believe you oga, especially those robber pastors.

Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III has stated that putting on hijab is a right and not a privilege for Muslims across the nation.
The Sultan spoke in Benin City at the General Assembly and Executive National Council Meeting of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).

Abubakar said though Christians were not believed to be terrorists but they committed wicked crimes against humanity.


He, however, hailed the Pope for making a very strong statement defending Islam as a religion of peace.

On the hijab controversy, the Sultan said: “Hijab is our right not a privilege. It is not a favour to us. It is our right.

“And we hold on to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that guarantees freedom of worship.

“That is why we don’t disturb anybody who wants to go and worship the way he wants.”


He added: “Nigeria is a multi religious state, not a singular state. And being a multi-religious state, we must allow the various religions to go on but we must not trample on each other’s right, which means I must be allowed to practice my religion the way I believe as ordered me by the Holy Quran and nothing else.

“So when we get this done, the issue of hijab and so many other things affecting Islam, I believe is our right, not a privilege, unless the Constitution is changed.”

On bad elements in Islam, he said: “Those bad people among us, like in other religions, we should pick them out and teach them the tenets of Islam.

“If they refuse to change, that is their own problem. We will meet with the creator on the judgement day.

“In any society, there are many terribly bad people. So many, who are not Muslims but carry out criminal activities with some Muslim organisations in America, France and even in Nigeria.

“Those people doing negative things should be called criminals or terrorists but not Muslims.

“I’ve never heard of Christian terrorists but we have heard of so many Christians or followers of other religions who committed heinous crimes against humanity.

“But they didn’t claim to do it for their religions and we did not hold them against their religions.”

realmindz:
it saddens my heart to see my fellow blacks still mentally enslaved and backward, when shall we evolve and be great. well I blame religion dat has successfully reduced that part of man that has to do with being inquisitive, hungry and searching for knowledge and answers rather than relying on ancient books of fallacies and exaggerated events with little or no evidences...Well just believe, bcus the bible said so.

realmindz:
if the great pyramid of giza cud ve been absent in the bible, then something is wrong with the bible

Because using cranes, bulldozers and every heavy modern machinery to build an ark proves one 500 year old man and his 3 sons did same

Yep. And I was just thinking how the empire state building verifies Spiderman

prettydpri:
How is that bro? your statement is rather ambigous

Obadiah77:
And so I have been waiting for this moment ever since I stopped being a Christian. Although I never at anytime doubt the existence of god, but I doubt if their is any credible way of getting to know him out there.

I have been a Christian all my life until I joined Nairaland before my Christian faith was shattered by the agent of satan on this section.
I lost faith in Yahweh, I lost faith in Jesus after seeing the Bible is indeed fallible with all the errors and irrefutable contradictions in it.

And then Lexiconkavir walk up to me and started telling me how Islam (of all religion) is different and how Allah is the only true God that science is yet to disprove. For this reason, I have decided to create a thread where I would be throwing different question at him and his fellow Muhammedans. Perhaps if they are able to convince me and are able to answer my questions without resorting to fallacies known to religionists, they might end up winning a soul for their Allah.

Here we go then. Lexiconkabir I await you to mark register before I start throwing my questions. Other Muslims can come in too.

Please no derailing.

Mods: please leave this thread here, I can't go to there territory be swearing one shariah. I will swear shariah if I become a Muslim.

Let the show begin

Hanging Towers of Babylon

You have probably heard about King Nebuchadnezzar - viewed as one of the most powerful King to have ruled in ancient kingdoms.

This is not about his military or masculine power this is about Love, the beast in love.

Nebuchadnezzar married the young beautiful Amtis from the kingdom of Media a very tropical land with beautiful green veiled moutains, trees, green grasses, flowers.

The new queen became very home sick and missed the usual green beauty of her hometown in contrast to the harsh sun baked sandy lands of Babylonia.

King Nebuchadnezzar decided to bring media to her - he had a tower built almost 75feet tall, filled with flowers, trees, grasses to give the queen a little slice of home.

Such edifice certainly is a masterpiece that shows architectural wizardry of the Babylonians..

the irrigation system of such work in ancient times is still a thing of wonder..

Great Pyramids of Giza In Egypt

The Pyramids were built at the pinnacle of the flourishing period of the great ancient egyptian civilizations, up to 130 them still stands till this day though there is still chance that very many more still lurk buried deep in the desertic lands of the nile.

The pyramids held the record for the tallest man made structures in the world for more than 4,000 years after there were built and up to this day remains one of the few outstanding work of ancient architecture and engineering mastery standing nearly intact.

The Pyramids were developed from small temples dedicated to dead pharaohs which slowly evolved in height to be closer to Ra [Sun God] and developed to what we have today.

The pyramids of Giza attributed to an ancient egyptian architect Imhotep built 2584 and 2561 BCE for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu.

Though massive slave labour was certainly, how they managed to pull of such engineering feat with remarkable geometrical mastery still is awe striking to us.

[P.s: Several other civilizations also built pyramids even the small Igbo pyramids at Nsudde.]
