Ishmael Cursed?

The Angel of God gives a pronouncement about the child in Hagars womb.

(Genesis 16:10-12 ) 10 “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”


11 “You will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has hear of your misery.”


12 “He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

Did God cursed Ishmael Seeing what is happening today. You will conclude that The so-called Arab people are cursed through Ishmael they kill others and also kill themselves. People hate them because they hate others. They like violence. Thier children live and grow up in a violent environment. They see nothing wrong in it. What exactly is this statement from God . Curse or blessing?

You have read bible that much, yet you don't seem to know biblical God's character quite.

Their way of life. I know what Islam means.

As regards learning about Islam. If you don't mind, we can start here and now.

This is the best advice I've received so far. May allah continue to grant you this wisdom and knowledge.

Amen. I'm happy that you found it useful. May Allah make everything easy for you.

Yes we can.

In Islam, there's high regard, from us Muslims for family at large. And there are certain red lines which we shouldn't cross, hence when we face crucial issues like this, caution must be taken so as not to invade others sanctuaries.

Parents should be treated with utmost respect and care. Their directions should be placed before any other, and their ideas shouldn't be treated with contempt. And if we must turn down their offers, we must be diplomatic as much as posible in doing so. We should let them see what we saw which they don't. And should they fail to come to terms with our opinion, then the judgement should come from God, The Most High.But, if it's only a worldly matter, where whatever decision we make don't incur any sin from God, we'd be rewarded if we honor our parents by accepting their wish over ours. The only situation where they have no say is when they are against what God's law stipulates.

Now, you know your dad than anyone else and can tell how he is likely to handle the situation at hand. So in order not to get yourself into what you are not ready for like being disowned, you need to keep your conversion to yourself for the mean time. Of course, you can't hide it from him forever, but let it be at a time he'll respect your decision. And if he's not going to respect it, his disapproval and consequence actions will not be too burdensome for you to cope with. Especially being a female child, who has lost her first sympathizer (mother), you may not be able to handle it if it explodes untimely.

For now, start learning about Islam, read books by reputable scholars and ask about whatever you don't understand on this forum. You can start practising your religion (Islam) after taking the Shahada as circumstances permit.

As regard your family, you need to start communcating with them through your actions. Show your household as well as neighbors the the virtue of Islam... Let them perceive changes in your life. Let your household know what good you are bringing in from afar. Be a light that illuminates your community at large, like that it will be easier for you to come out clearly when the time comes.

As_salam alaykum warahmotullah wabarakatuh.

Hey Nairalanders, I'm a northern girl who hails from Adamawa state. My both parents hail from adamawa, thesame local government but different villages. They're both christians. My mum died 2006 and my dad even remarried before her death. The 2nd wife is from a muslim home but converted to christainity for reasons best known to here. Since then we've been living in peace although she hasn't bore a child yet and I don't think my dad is considering marriage.
Right from childhood, I've been around muslims, I've always admired their religion ofcourse apart from the jihad and terrorism. But every other thing about them I love. Now, I'm thinking of converting, I've let my muslim friends know about my decision. But what I'm not certain about is if to let my family know about it, because I know the consequences that would come with it. I'll be disowned and thrown out of the house. But my mind is made up already. I don't know what to do. I'm the 1st daughter and we're just 2gurls.
I know somany of you will condemn me for this but I'm ready to receive all the condemnation and insults from my christian brothers and sisters.

I greet you with the best of greetings: As-salam alaykum warahmotullah wabarakatuh. Your decision is crucial indeed, but since according to your words; you have made up your mind, I believe you have already overcome every other challenges. Having said that, you need to know that in reality, every challeges demand readiness and sacrifices. So, are you ready to face this one?

Incase you are ready to face it, what about the sacrifices - can you afford the sacrifices now?

I want to help in a little way I can, let's talk about your family. Shall we?

So, your defence is leave it as it is.

truthman2002:
The Shahada is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam,
expressing the two fundamental beliefs that make a
person a Muslim: There is no god but Allah, and
Muhammad is Allah's prophet. Sincere recitation of the
Shahada is the sole requirement for becoming a Muslim,
as it expresses a person's rejection of all other gods.
There is no god but Allah shows Allah is a god. This
means recognizing only Allah among other gods.
It would have been a different thing if shahada reads:
There is no God but Allah.
Again, that Muhammad is Allah's prophet means only
Muhammad is the prophet of Allah.
It would have been a different thing if it reads:
Muhammad is one of the prophets of Allah.
Therefore, if Allah is a god, he cannot be Almighty God.

You really tried in your pursuit to discredit Islam. but I'm afraid, you have got a long journey to embark on. The content of the Shahada is TOO big for your microscopic knowledge about anything Islamic. So, you are hereby advised to drop the argument, quell the brouhaha and never muster up such guts as to debate Muslims on this kind of topic.

Peace... I rise!!!

Do you know anyone that has done it or can do it?I need genuine native doctor.

I'm dead silent on this. I only stated my stance and that doesn't mean I'm involved in it. #Macof, meet this dude : -\

Yesterday I was with a group of friends and they were discussing about money ritual,one friends said one Alfa told him to bring some items like goats for the ritual.the ritual is expected to raise a lot of money. my question is does money ritual exists

I know a lot of criticism would be meted out on this, but I'm not going to shy away from reality. And that's, money ritual is very real. Like in the case of other issues, everybody has the right to accept whatever he deems acceptable as far he's concern. But, what I know is that there is more to this than we can reconcile with intellectualism which guides some of our convictions.

chunky78:
the process and side effects?

Well, I personally don'tknow much about the process. And I'll advise you don't seek too much either.
And on that of side effects. As much as I know, the fortune that may be acquired from money ritual itself is momentary while its repercussions are dependent on the mode of the ritual and are agelong. If you ask me, the enjoyment from ritual money doesn't worth its conditions and side effects.

johnydon22:


Go read those replies, its just a tuff war betwee my bullshiit is better than your bullshiit... nothing special...

is that how you judge which is better, number of replies? .

Meanwhile, you believe your bullshit is better than Satanists' bullshit. The truth is that you all are bullshit bashers.

Demons gang_up... New interesting style! Now let's see if we can make sense out of the thread. Mr Johnydon22, how may I help on this?

truthman2012:
I observe muslims are gradually surrendering. They are no more as vocal as they used to be. They have discovered that Muhammad cannot continue to be defended as a prophet of God.

I want to see the first person that will give testimony of conversion to Christ so that we can celebrate with him/her and praise God for him/her.

You are right with your observation, but the conclusion you made thereof is hilarious. As a frequent visitor of this forum, I'll implore Muslims not to waste time on threads like this. Because, no sensible explanation will be accepted; you surely didnt create it for that.

Yet, in the next few hours, you will still open another senseless thread and still expect them to come and comment

Well done for the points guys.

Honestly, its obvious that the zoo won't last. Every indication show that the end is near.

Does the zoo think Nnamdi Kanu wasn't anticipating arrest?

Does the DSS think Nnamdi Kanu cam to Nigeria to have a party?

Indeed! The zoo has fallen to this trap. So let the onslaught begin!

[quote author=Annunaki post=39083317][/quote]Seriously, someone needs to tell u that u are being ridiculous with all these. Are you this idle or it's that same islamophobia that's getting over u. Well, I don't see how the op add value to Islam in any way. It's just a case of a country trying to provide the best for its citizenry. But here you are finding it hard to accept because It's nothing like a kind of bad news from your enemy country. sey una know anything like badbelle?

malvisguy212:
No muslim is able to defend the quran?

Hmm you've got someone now. but then, I'm predicting how many days you are going to last on the thread. You must be full of yourself for this post!

plappville:
Muslims believe they are achieving thier aims. See as they are spreading everywhere because of war in thier countries.
Sometimes believe they deliberately mae war in order to spread Islam to none islamic countries. By this means, they will be spreading thier religion... :

As much as this doesn't make any sense. you must be very happy that those countries are as good as u wish, No?

A liar promoting his mentors.

Why bothered yourself

Okay, thanks.

I'm assuming u get the message? u guys need to know certain things before starting arguments.

I must tell u, macof is not the type u can waste ur time on trying to explain things to. He'd know somethings, yet, he'd act not knowing when he deems fit.

Rilwayne001:
Those 5 narrations you narrated, are they alll relating the same incident at a time or differet incident on different occasion?

I Love this very question.

This fool is saying that when your American masters demand from their puppet to send troops to help them fight the Russians and Chinnese you will gladly accept the draft and end up joining the Suicide allah brigades

Some times, threads you come across on this forum tell u the implication of joblessness state of Nigeria.

ProphetUdeme:

JOHN 17 VS 3 - this is life Eternal that everybody should know You as the only True God and Jesus Christ whom You Have Sent.
a muslim lady alhaja amina was a good looking young woman in her early thirties. But she was born into a muslim family that were so devoted to the Islamic Religion. Amina lived holy and read the quran times without number and loved everybody who came to her, she was full of charity, holiness, merciful and love and hated no one. She was a woman of virtue, so devoted to her husband. But because of her religion she never knew Christ. In her work place, her colleagues who were christians preached Christ as the only perfect salvation, but she denied and rejected Jesus and said that only allah is God and mohammed was allah's prophet.
A two years later amina died of breast cancer and her soul appeared in eternity and she looked and saw good pearly gates of heaven and she was so happy and jumped for joy and praised allah that finally she has seen the heaven that Allah had promised to all those muslims who loved him. As Amina was walking towards the direction of Heaven, she felt a very big chain on her both legs, the chains where thrown by demons and they dragged her and told her that they are taking her to see where allah resides. They dragged her to darkness and she cried, her soul has been lost for all eternity and her works of righteousness and morality could not save her. She has been lost.
Listen muslims, Christ is eternal life, God has ordained Jesus to be the captain and Author of Salvation to all who follow Him. The name Jesus is Salvation.
Acts 4 VS 12 - neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men where we must be saved. .
If you like read the quran like a scholar, pray to allah 30 times in the morning. He will never save you. CHRIST IS THE ONLY ROOT OF SALVATION.

1 John 5 vs 11 & 20 - this is the record that God had given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son (JESUS CHRIST). we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is True, and we (christians) are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ, this is the true God and eternal life.
amen. Muslims. come to Christ and be saved. Jesus is pleading in isaiah 45 vs 22 - look unto me and be saved all the ends of the earth for I am God (the saviour) and there is none else. To Him be all the Glory and Honour. Amen

One out of the reasons i still come to Nairaland: to read poo!

PAGAN9JA:
