Not everyone can become a farmer or business man. Some people are better off with white collar jobs. People should have a chance to practice what they studied and shouldn't be forced due to social circumstances to be doing what they wouldn't like to do. It's only fair people are more inclined towards white collar jobs because it's what they know. For example, being a nurse is all I know and I love it. I can't see myself doing something outside that.. I have been chanced to talk to people who successfully run their business *these people KNOW THEIR STUFF*. They know what they are doing and they studied things related to their field. If someone originally wants to start up a business, depending on the type of business, I don't think there is a need to study an unrelated field at university.

I think there is also a difference when someone goes into business because they have a vision/ dream and when someone goes into business due to circumstances just to make ends meet.

I was reading through the best student/worst student thread on NL and a lot of comments I saw made me unhappy. It seemed like alot of people are unemployed and I was surprised that includes people who studied things like engineering are still unable to find jobs.

My questions are

1) How likely is going to get a job related to his/her field after graduation? Are jobs really based on connections?


2) Excluding the government, what do you think can improve unemployment rate? What can the average person do?


* I feel like the government has failed the youths and the youths are failing themselves as well. I used to be optimistic about Nigeria but reading comments on NL makes me think otherwise.

Can I derail the thread a lil to ask a few questions about employment and education?

I think we need private universities that follow Islamic guidelines tbh. I heard of umm hikmah and tried enquring but maybe the person thought I was a 419ner and didn't respond.

carinmom:
I once went to the secondary section of the school to see someone, but I wasn't allowed access because I wasn't wearing niqab even though I was in hijab.

Their school fees is something else, Lol.

Really? Is it a boarding school?

What curriculum do they teach?

I think security is still a big issue.

No. 1 is very true

Coccoh:
Try include a means of payment, like ur acct details.

I agree.

AbdelKabir:
Its a secondary school school, like others but its an Islamic school...

The fees is 25,000 naira per session(that's what he said, but i think it should be term instead)....

Okay. Thanks.

Jzakallahukhyran

Wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullah wa barakathu


May Allah make your situation easy

Do they accept everyone that applies?

Is it like a school?

What are the fees?

AbdelKabir:
I don't think you should dignify him with any more response......if he can't decipher simple things rather making false inferences despite his "civilisation" he should be ignored...

I won't respond to him any longer. I have said salam to him.

Organs:
Well you can say i am not reasonable because i and you disagree. But again, your answer speaks clearly about your horizon. You don't know because you just don't know. the answer you gave is reflective of your worldview which is limited. Walahi, again i repeat walahi, brother if you have lived in Egypt, UK, the US etc you will not give that answer. You have not in any way made it clear that Allah has made it haram to sell food to a muslim in ramadan. Or that it is not permissible. For the sake of Allah, i beg you, arguments apart, leave people alone. Stop judging people, these are the reasons why people in Kano will lynch a lady because she is wearing "jeans" or kill Bridget Agbahime because she said "don't do that una thing (wudu) for here.

May allah guide us all aright ameen.

You can call me myopic simply because we disagree. You can judge and make false inferences simply because we disagree as well. You read without comprehending the content of my post or the website. Without hesitation, you made false assumptions about how I live and made suggestions blaming it on living in Nigeria. Like I mentioned earlier, you are entitled to your opinion.
Please don't swear to God because you don't know where I live and where I have lived.
Ameen. May Allah guide us right.
Salam alaykum brother.

This is really nice!

AbdelKabir:
So did I....




You recited faster than emm, shuraim or sudais?

Yes. I was in the missle of Al Fathia and the imam went to ruku so I sped up to try to catch up and then I was like I don't have to complete it so I went in ruku too.

The imam recites at that pace (Shuraim).

I recite around that pace too maybe a lil slower.

AbdelKabir:
That what?

You must complete reciting surah Al- Fathia.

AbdelKabir:
OK, well its obligatory to read faatihah when the imam is reciting silently or if you can't hear the imam, but if you can hear the imam, then its sufficient.......

Wait even in the third and fourth rakah?

AbdelKabir:
Ruku, *you also said sujood, so I made the mistake following what I read from you*

Perhaps you may be slower than average since you are not used to praying behind an imam....maybe you should try and be faster....

Didn't know that I wrote sujud. I actually thought of ruku.

I don't want/like to be faster. I literally sped up my recitation and I felt like it ruined my salah... I recited so quickly just to catch up *I am not even sure it is permissible t recite that fast* but I followed the imam regardless. If I recite fast I can't concentrate and reflect on what I am reciting. It becomes like.. I don't know how to explain it but there is not tranquility or kuhsoor.

AbdelKabir:
OK, well its obligatory to read faatihah when the imam is reciting silently or if you can't hear the imam, but if you can hear the imam, then its sufficient.......

And as for praying behind someone else because you feel the imam is too fast then I'll get back to you on that insha Allaah, seems there is difference of opinion, what I've understood previously is, wherever you stop, just go to sujood with the imam, and your inability to complete will be on him......

BT like I said, I'll get back to you....

This was what I understood too but I was reading about it again and the scholars differed on it. I followed the opinion of following the imam because it was from a trustworthy scholar. However, I am starting to think it's safer to complete reciting the surah. I heard the person may be blame worthy if he/she is taking her time and reading slowly. The thing is I am not sure if the Imam is reciting too fast or I am slower than "average". Sujood or ruku?

AbdelKabir:
Isn't the imam reciting loud? I mean its taraweeh

Yeah but I am talking about the Isha prayer. I am more concerned about that than the taraweeh. Regarding the taraweeh, the tranquility is not the same.

AbdelKabir:
Isn't the imam reciting loud?

The first two rakaah yeah

Brother, you obviously has not stepped outside Nigeria so you are myopic in your world view and thinking and that is not Islam. I live in the US and even recently during the TRUMP muslim ban, gays, lesbians all where at the forefront protesting with muslims against the ban and stood all night at the airport to ensure all muslims coming in where all allowed to come in and their rights protected. Now we made it clear we will not join them if they are protesting for their rights, but back to the discussion, Yes if someone wants to buy weapons to kill, others or cause harm to himself and others you don't enable that person, but you cannot deny someone accommodation because they are going to commit fornication!! that is wrong and that is not islam, you might as well say you will deny a christian accommodation because he is not muslim, or a single lady because she is not married, or an akwa-ibom man because he eats dogs and pork, or an ogboni worshiper because he worships ogboni on and on and on. That is the reason for religious intolerance. Stop judging people stop pointing fingers, that is not islam, The prophet said in an authentic hadith, even if someone is committing sin and hides it, you do not expose him, Yes, you should advice him and do things that might positively help him stop but you don't expose him else Allah will expose you too on the day of judgement. So if someone has a BUSINESS OF SELLING FOOD, i repeat a business of selling food, you sell food to whoever buys your food. There is a lot on misunderstanding of the faith and people make Islam unnecessarily difficult for themselves and others and offers unnecessary interpretations.

I thought I was quoting someone reasonable. So living in Nigeria makes one myopic? Lol.
You accused the other brother of quoting out of context but you are doing the same. Anyways I don't have time to waste.
Like I mentioned earlier, you are entitled to your opinion even though it doesn't count in the deen of Allah.
Whatever Allah has made permissible, no one can prohibit and whatever Allah has forbidden, no one can make permissible. And Allah has forbidden helping in transgression.

Salam

Salam alaykum

So I followed the opinion that reciting surah al Fathia behind the imam is reccomended but now I am starting to think it's safer to recite it. Now, last time I went for tarweeh, I wasn't able to complete my recitation (during isha prayer) when the imam went to sujud and there wasn't much tranquility praying behind the imam compared to it on my own. I read that if a person isn't able to complete his/her recitation behind the iman then he/she should pray behind someone else. So I am not sure if it's better to pray at home or at the mosque (I can get tiredand that might prevent me from praying the full 11 rakah or even praying taraweeh at home alone).

AbdelKabir:
OK........

Aywa. Thanks.

One of the things I first learnt in philosophy is that you can have a belief without thinking that your belief is correct/right. If you believe in something then you must believe it is the right and that also means seeing other beliefs as incorrect. One cannot say I believe it is Monday but I don't truly think it's Monday. If you believe it is Monday then you must believe that it is regardless if others think it's Tuesday and you must believe that you are right and they are wrong. Having beliefs rules out relativism and states that there is ONE TRUTH.

* I hope I didn't confuse anyone*

* Honestly thinking about the idea of believing in one truth made me reflect deeply especially because we are usually told to accept people's beliefs and culture and it is intolerant not to do so, whereas really, having beliefs requires that conviction that one is right and others are wrong. There cannot be two truths.*

Anyways the point I am trying to make is when you say la ilah ha illah lah... do you really belief with conviction or are you just saying it because other say it?

When you say you are Muslim who believes in Allah, do you do that with conviction believing that Islam is the truth?

This is the basis of Tawhid

Salam alaykum

Can I mention you in a topic if I feel the need arises?

I disagree with the quotations you quoted. Allah knows best but this is my opinion, fasting is prescribed for muslims... there are those that are exempted from fasting, the sick, nursing mother, children, etc then we have those that are not muslims as well. So, if your business is selling food, please sell your food and those fasting will abstain until their fast is over and those that need the food can buy and eat, its a service your providing for profit so go ahead and sell. There is no compulsion in religion, there are muslims that do not fast at all for no reason whatsoever, if you know them and they come to buy your food, what do you do? ofcourse you sell to them each person's judgement is will Allah it is not our place to point fingers.

You are entitled to your opinion but those are the opinions of the scholars of Islam. It is not permissible to sell to someone I know would eat it because it comes under the helping people sin. We do not help people transgress against Allah's boundaries. Same way I won't rent my room to the one who I know would fornicate or sell weapons to people who would use it to cause mischief because by doing so I have helped them commit the act and this is something Allah has forbidden in the Qur'an. If you would like more explanation or you still aren't satisfied with the answers, I think you should be able to send a question.
Salam aylakum.

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to kiss and touch (his wife) when he was fasting, but he was the most able of you to control his desire.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1927) and Muslim (1106)

What is meant by the words “but he was the most able of you to control his desire” is that he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was able to control himself and to control his desire, so he would enjoy intimacy but that would not lead to intercourse or emission of maniy.



Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a man kisses his wife during the day in Ramadan, or touches her, does that invalidate his fast or not?

He replied:

If a man kisses his wife, touches her and is intimate with her, without having intercourse, whilst he is fasting, all of that is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to kiss his wife whilst he was fasting, and he used to touch her whilst he was fasting. But if he fears that he may end up doing that which Allah has prohibited to him, because he is easily aroused, then it is makrooh for him to do that. If he ejaculates, then he must refrain from eating and so on for the rest of the day, and he must make up that day’s fast, but he does not have to offer expiation, according to the majority of scholars.

Thank you ooooooo.... Injury to muscle is different from Stretching the muscle to be stronger. Until your muscle gets used to the exercise, the pain will be there... That's why you are advised not to take any analgesic after exercise. Definitely when you exercise for the first time your body will react that's why they Say "No Pain No Gain" .

How do analgesic affect excercise/gains?

Lovely piece.

Don't get no 6.

I have heard of any exercises being exclusive to gender.

Let me add mine.
