Awesome.

The management of the free trade zone/Nigeria maritime association should look into the environmental aspect of this new seaport.

The should not allow discharge of ballast water by ships in the area, except they have Ballast water management system installed and it in used to avoid the introduction of invasive species like zoo plankton, Zebra mussels, Vibrio Cholera that would contaminate the environment or prey on fishes around the coastal environment.

Majority of Port around the world are forcing large cargo ships to make use of ballast water management system to treat intake water and Port authority check always before those ships can discharge at berth.


The free trade zone constituents lots of environmental challenges especially with the refinery (flare systems), I hope the Lagos state government would enact a strict measures in protecting the free trade zone.


It's quite unfortunate lots of masses are moving to such places in the name of building estate and houses instead of them to be far away from that environment due to the hazardous nature of such a complex chemical process, refinery and fertilizer plus other industries there.

The discharge of Nox would be much, and this would definitely affect the health.

But hey We Nigerians are ignorant, we just want to cash out from a new environment that houses the largest single train refinery.

It's quite unfortunate sha

2 From the first day I started reciting it
Did you recite any of your duas in #3 below on this day?

3 Yes, I will see a tiger appear in my dreams chasing me

4 Yes, I usually recite the surah on the Arabic Quran on my phone and after finishing the surah after each solat, I sometimes do some Duas
Would you be free enough to say exactly what these duas are that you recite?
Were they given to you by someone?

5 I recite the surah for protection because a very Islamic prayer woman told me to be prayerful cause my father had many enemies in his family who are trying to do evil to me

6 Before I used to but because I am in school, it is not like before but I am trying
I know it's not easy, but please try no to miss ANY of them or be late in offering them. This is where your protection by the Will of Allah begins and if it has gaps, then it'll be a problem.

Mikel99:
Assalam alaikum my Muslim brothers. Please don't mind my username. I am a Muslim . My question here is why is it that whenever I recite suratul Yasin 5 times a day, I always see a tiger, usually white in colour, chasing me in the dream?
Though I haven't been caught by it.

Empiree:
walaikun salaam,

For me, I am not into taqriqa nor do I condemn them either. This is simply for personal reasons and my upbringing.

Now, speaking of numerous taqriqat that sprang up up, all I can say about them is about competition sometimes. "We want to be better than the other" and there is nothing wrong with this in as much there is iklas. Quran itself says "race in doing good deeds". Q23:61, Q2:149.

Even alhusunnah waljamah or salafiya is a tariqa whether they deny it or not. Tariqat help some Muslims and they shouldn't be condemned. The purpose of Tariqat is also about bringing Muslims together. But if this purpose is not achieved then, there is no point in them. If Tariqat are all about causing schism, then this purpose I won't even recommend. This seems to be what's happening in Yorùbáland with different tariqat having sectarian issues and none of them is worried when Allah or is messanger is mocked. But when their Alfa or sheikh is abused, mocked or defamed, they flock social media and start causing nuisance.

And yes, all tariqat, including Tariqat Tijjaniya, Qudiriya, salafiya etc focus on the same goal.

Salam alaikum. I felt it may be too much information.

Musa95:
Please what is your take on Egbe and Elegbe Emere?

HausaIgboYoruba:
Unfortunately, I am not a good storyteller! However, I have been having serious nightmares and always falling sick after each nightmare. The problem is becoming too frequent.
I woke up after being given the dua and started searching the internet looking for more tafsir commentaries on the Ayah.

HausaIgboYoruba:
Subhanallah! I was given this same dua in my dream today.

Alhajiemeritus:
Wa Alaykum Salaam Warahmatulahi.
Simple: They were called by Jinns. Jinns whispered to their nafs and they succumbed to the whispering box jinns. We all understand that the agencies of these Obatalas and co are jinns due to their operations. You will realize this when these people go into trance.

fu91t1v3:

As for controlling one's ruh, that has been the most difficult task, it only happens during zikr but just for few seconds, any idea on how to maximize that?

Tessyy1701:

Salam alahykun brother.

The cancer eating Islam is eating it from within. A lot of Muslims don't really know the importance of what Allah in his infinite wisdom has given to us. I personally know a Christian woman that recites the 99 names of Allah at midnight after ablution to solve her problems.
She has even never been a Muslim and according to her it works perfectly for all her problems and we have a bulk of Muslims asking if the prophet ever did that. The Quran is not just meant to be read like some classic novels but be used to solve our problems. It is a mercy from Allah.

May Allah guide us

Empiree:
you need to listen to this interesting piece by Maulana Dr. MUhammad Fazlur Rahman Ansar


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRVjP3U4M9Q

Towards the middle he speaks about islamic sciences and of making "inquiries" (spiritual) he was referring to i believe. It is never forbidden in islam.
He said "you might find some of these sciences being labeled blasphemy by religious people of today(muslims) which are in tandem with nabi muhammad(SAW)" I didnt quote him verbatim and i hope i didnt misunderstood him. I am going to listen to this over again.

He said we made everything today haram haram haram which are not and this is changing religion of islam.
Subhanallah, at the time he gave this lecture, muslim population was only 700 million in the world. Now look at it today. He said no muslim countries today is actually muslim country. We only call them muslim countries bcus majority are muslims. I am learning here faah. Finally he said, Western world is not the master of sciences. Nabi Muhammad was the master the modern science. Allah akbar. He said it is muslims that restricted everything by making this haram haram and haram is the reason the lack in science and technology. I understood this long ago actually. I estimate this lecture was given in 60s or early 70s bcus he died in 1974 I am sorry i gave much info before you watch it. Go ahead and watch it.

LyfeJennings:


To be honest. My faith in God is lost.

LadunaI:

Ummm...though I used to hear that as well but for me if you do it with noble intention for love of Prophet(saw), you think Allah will not reward you for your effort and sincerity?

Though mine is "accidental" I would say, been given to me my a known sheikh during conversion with him in my sleep, sort of encouragement to harness the potential of faith with what I have doing before ibramiya etc. So even if there is need be that you have to get it from sheikh, then Allah would bring succor someday. Continue engaging in what Allah has made easy for you.

Salaam alikum. I was going through this thread for the unknown number of time and I read this piece, it got me thinking, in that same planet ate there people living there, worshipping? I need your insights on this sheikhs in the house. Thank you

Empiree, awon alfa nla ti lo faa. My father used to tell us about one alfa in Ebira land. He was called "Alfa oni tira".
According to him, if you go to the alfa for prayer, his only prayers were Fatiha & Solatu Fatih. For example, if you went to him to complain about failing business he would say: you have told Allah your problem not him, may Allah bless your business Fatiha, Solatu fatih. And will bring baraka into that business. No matter the problem you took to him, even if it is village people, na Fatiha, Solatu fatih be the prayer and, in sha Allah, that problem would be over. The likes of this alfa are difficult to come by these days, and the few ones left are old and will leave us soon enough.

One imam said, "awon alfa wonyi aba aye je. Won ani ko si nkan ti onje batini, gbogbo nkan ni sohir." LOL ...

The next generation go suffer ehn . At least, most of us were born when sheikh Adam, Sambo and other alfa nla in Lagos were alive. But the coming generations go meet awon alfa who would give more weight to ahadith than the holy Quran. Even those ahadith would be approached superficially by them.. E don dey happen small small self.

Dreams are means trough which almighty Allah use to communicate to people, but of which dream is it, when you dream a dream that has meaning you would know. Allah so great even if it be for a 100 years you would still know the dream in details but you might miss some part but that memory is still in you Empiree must have known me before this post, well most of my dreams are messages to me but most times it's not good to say your messages to people the gift often get taken away from you in a way or two unless almighty Allah likes you then it would still stick by you.

They are so many other things but are best unsaid. It's good to come out sometimes to glorify Allah for what we have and don't have we all are blessed with a certain gift in one way or the other and to some it takes time to mature the gift out others piety some don't even have piety but are given gifts by the almighty but it's never easy.

To the incognitos all are blessed with a gift don't feel down because you don't observe for your self what Brother A is observing because you would like to, everyone is programed differently if you to witness what Brother A is witnessing you might not be able to take it physically and might mess with your physical as well as emotional state so we all are special one way or the other just be greatful to the Almighty for everything and anything

Like you see prophet Musa was programed to hear Allah directly no one else was if am not mistaken that's how he was if you choose to hear and you not configured to hear you might end up the way prophet Musa ended when he said he wants to see Allah because he can hear him he's not configured to see only hear.
