Lubbish...
When I eventually become Nigeria's president. I'll scrap this hajj and Jerusalem pilgrim trips. You can't be spending state funds for religious indulgences. This should be a personal affair.

You know that not all the pilgrims are sponsored by the government, right? Majority of the pilgrims go with their own money.

But you're right, I don't think the government should involve itself with sponsoring pilgrims.

Paying December salary in November is not common anywhere in the world. No matter how bad these politicians are, we should learn to commend them when they take steps in the right direction.

I don't think this is right though. Those workers haven't worked in December but they've already received salary for December.

dyydxx:
stop violating dress codes. it is the right of every school to decide it's own dress code. if hijab isn't allowed there, carry your child to islamic mission schools. They want to convert everywhere to islam by force

But according to the article, there's a subsisting ruling of the Appeal Court on the issue saying students should be allowed to wear the Hijab.

Stanslim22:
I thought Muslim detest western education. Just do the right thing at the right time.

Well, you thought wrong. Muslims don't detest western education.

iluvpomo:
The battles are real but the act of them(warriors) fasting during those battles is a complete myth .... or abi you have proof of that??

So you believe the Roman-Persian battle was real? What's the difference between that battle and the Battle of Badr that made one of them mythical and the other real?

iluvpomo:
Yes, those are mythical stories that can only be accepted by faith. You have no way of proving that those events occurred - let us be factual.

I think the crux of this discussion is to ask you this:

Do you believe God sent certain people many years ago to preach to people about Him? That these people are His prophets? That these people include Jesus, Moses, Muhammad?

mujibson:
Barahkhallahu fihi...

Ameen.

iluvpomo:
Mythical stories of course ...

You asked for an activity which was more intense than footie that Muslims engaged in and fasted nevertheless. I provided one and your retort is that it's a mythical story?

C'mon!

Idrismusty97:
Yea, Example the used of phone in replying me right now. Although i criticized most religion but when it comes to Islam i don't even know where to start from, Your backwardness is on a whole new level.

You seem to be getting it confused. The use of gadgets isn't against Islam. What Islam is against is thinking you can add to the laws of Islam. Islam has sets of rules which are set in stone. The circumstances regarding them might vary but the principles are unchangeable.

Islam would lose its uniqueness and purity if men can decide to change its rules just because they can't keep up with it. Its beauty will be lost if what isn't permitted in 1990 is now permitted in 2018.

Islam is the submission to the will and rules of Allah. If some people then decide to innovate and remove & add some rules, does that still make the religion and its rules a divine one?

lease09:
did u read my text i never said he did not fast, i said why was he trying to con his way out that means break his fast

Oh! Okay. Apologies.

Idrismusty97:
Meaning progress is forbidden in Islam?

It's said in the Qur'an that Islam is perfect just the way it is. When people bring in innovations, they're merely saying that they know better than Allah.

lease09:
then why is he trying to con his way out of fasting

How is he trying to con his way out of fasting? It was sunset and dude 'faked' an injury to allow him and his teammates break their fast. That shows he was fasting prior to the start of the match.

iluvpomo:
Which activities were those?

The Battle of Badr took place during Ramadan.

goal9ja1o:
Forcing people to fast defeats the purpose of fasting

Is there anywhere in the story where it's stated that people were forced to fast?

Ndonu101:
So professional footballers are putting their victory at risk over a religious rule that came into existence when there were no professional footballers?

Why can’t people think outside the box?

The Qur’an makes concessions for travellers breaking fast early simply because when he qura’an was written travelling was one of the tedious task of the time

Why people can’t understand that if professional sportsmen existed when the qur’An was written they too would have had a concession Beats my imagination

It doesn't work that way. The Qur'an was explicit about those who were exempted from fasting. In Islam, innovation (bring what isn't originally in the religion into the religion) is forbidden.

Moreover, there were probably more activities during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) which were more tedious than football and the actors in those activities fasted.

The first and only time I passed there was 2 months ago. The ever busy surrounding of Laos Island is even capable of preventing one from enjoying the tranquillity the place has to offer.

I've read about the blind drummer whose statue is erected there. Quite a fascinating story I must say.

MistadeRegal:

I was expecting to see that oath of allegiance before commenting on this post… or is it not applicable to all Islamic posts?

The post is in the celebrity subsection.

vizkiz:
Allah Does not punish the dead. Lizzy is just a dumb Muslim whose fast is a waste of time.

She is even saying the small girl shall never "no" (Olodo can't spell know) peace.

Religion of peace my foot.

Yeah, blame her religion for her excesses.

Logic of Kagawa.

Repairs?

How Nigeria consistently mismanages the greatest resource a nation can ask for, the human resources is baffling, to say the least.

uchman48:
Dinner for the rich only. Instead of them to use their influence to talk against the killings going on in Nigeria, they are busy hosting dinner. I just don't know why our celebrities are so nonchallant

LOL. When Tuface planned to organize a protest last year, I saw comments of people berating him and reminding him of his numerous baby mamas

phrancys001:
Still don't get it was the airplane door an egg shell that can be easily dismounted?

Punctuations, please!!

2sexycom:
You should be ashamed of yourself. Most of you make God look stupid for giving u brains. Go to China and Japan, they don't carry this religion matter for head but TILL YOU DIE, YOUR GENERATION will NEVER ACCOMPLISH what they have been able to accomplish.

Saudi Arabia where you all copied this thing from is ahead of you in all ramification... their princes even date sexy ladies...

The same goes for my Christian brothers...Isreal is embracing tech and science, same Isreal that is the house Christianity... Africans are stupid abeg.

Firstly, Muslims don't take religious instructions from Saudi Arabia. Whatever the princes of Saudi Arabia do, it doesn't mean it's supported by Islam.

Secondly, Christianity isn't even the dominant religion in Israel.

hooklover:
Not even a Hausa Muslim but a fucking Yoruba Muslim lady that is lower than the Hausa Muslim trying to change status quo...

Soon she will realize Yoruba Moslems are inferior to the Northern core Muslim..

I hope she is given 20yrs ban for deliberately trying to test the resolve of the legal profession...

Unfortunately she could not differentiate religion from profession..

Who the Bleep told you that a Yoruba Muslim is inferior to a Hausa Muslim? The only Muslim who is superior to the other is the one who does better deeds than others.

It's just like saying a Yoruba catholic is inferior to an Igbo catholic.

columbus007:
So king pharoah and all his household is been dugged out again ba? Very good.

Where did you read that it was a Pharaoh that was excavated? It was a private tomb; many rich Egyptians of old had their remains mummified.

Olabenjamen22:
So Muslim don't celebrate burial?

What is this one saying

Maybe some Muslims do but it isn't allowed in Islam.

booqee:
if i hear..

Yeah Muslims bury their dead immediately.. But months later they still do what you call the final burial party.. where they throw a lavish party eating and drinking.

That's not allowed in Islam though. Because some Muslims do it doesn't make it right.

bakynes:
So why is the Christian thread open for everybody to comment but your own is sensored.

Na wa for Muslims!

Firstly, it was Seun that decided to do that, not Nairaland Muslims.

However, below is why I believe he did that.

For those that were with NL 6-8 years ago and knew how NL worked, they would understand this declaration. In the early days of NL, religious related topics especially Islam related ones were always battlegrounds. Non Muslims usually invaded those topics and mock and deride Islam and Muslims. Meanwhile, Christian topics didn't witness these attacks. A subsection, Islam for Muslims was thereafter created just for Muslims and their topics. This didn't prevent those attacks from coming. Seun then made topics about Islam appear on the front page only on Fridays. Some Muslims saw this as being unfair as Christian related topics graced the front page at anytime. So, the questions being asked is one of the measures put in place by Seun to check these attacks on Islam topics on Nairaland.

If any topic is posted on the Islam for Muslims subsection, the question about whether you're a Muslim is automatically asked. It doesn't matter whether the thread is about Islam or not. I believe what Seun hopes to achieve with it is to make sure only Muslims view threads in the Islam for Muslim subsection. A non-Muslim making comment on them is seen as being at the wrong place. It's then weird when non-Muslims click on topics posted in the Islam for Muslim subsection but complain of the whole NL being islamized (whatever that means).

Note that this is purely my opinion.

bakynes:
I just don't understand, the guy said he is a Christian that is considering converting to a Muslim doesn't make it an Islamic thread so why can't we comment the normal way.

It's because the topic was created in the Islam for Muslims subsection. It has nothing to do with the OP's current religion.

Coitus:
so because of one law school hijab girl saga, una wan create topic to give Christians L

Maybe you're new to Nairaland but Islamic topics always make the FP on Fridays while Christian topics make FP on Sundays.

It has nothing to do with the Law School lady.

frenzyduchess:
I am shocked that people even support this, I don't even know another word to qualify the shame I feel that frsc could come up with this kind of lame excuse knowing fully well that Nigerians like the many that have commented on this thread have myopic reasoning and have known violence all their life, SMH

Madam, FRSC isn't justifying it; they're just laying the facts on the ground. The affected officers will face a disciplinary panel.

davillian:
If the guy wanted to defend himself he should have thrown punches not slaps.
He is way stronger than the woman and he doesn't need to hit her to prove that.
Women can be annoying sometimes but it's only normal for a weaker being to always launch the 1st attack.
We men need self control.
If I slap any woman she would pass out and might use that route to see God.
We should learn how to tolerate women.

Not trying to justify the officer but why should it be men that need self control? Secondly, if the woman knew that the man is stronger than her, I think it was foolish for her to have attacked him first.

The officer should have exercised restraint though.
