Jarus:
I got this from a sister who prefers anonymity. Your sincere, honest advice based on Qur'an, Sunnah and useful experience is needed.

[b]Salam alaykum, am a nairaland member and I need this to be posted on the 'muslims, whats happening in your life section'.please let me know if you want it edited.

　

I come from a traditional Muslim home. The kind where you have to wear your hijab even as a kid and even the one yr old joins in the congregational prayer. A lot has happened in my life that so much affect me now because of my family.

It is a polygamous one and I must tell you that I don’t blame that aspect of Islam for my problems but the truth is, if I can date ever having a problem back, It was when my dad had another wife.

It was the first time I ever knew parents quarrel. To not go into details, a lot happened to my mum, my siblings and I. The effect of these on me especially as female is a wound, hard to heal. I just think speaking out & getting other people’s views while enjoying the anonymity here would help me out.

I say things like I would never ever let what happened to my mum happen to me nor let my children face what I did, No man will ever treat me like that and these have turned me into some kind of strong woman.

A lot of people tell me how nice I am & I Know am very patient with people but when I think marriage and its blues, am something else. In fact, when I think marriage, I think divorce. At least when you are going into something, you should know how to get out of it.

To achieve these, I work hard. I want to make my own money, be independent, resourceful. There is nothing wrong with all of these but mine has got an extra edge.

When I love people, I give them my all- my girl friends, siblings and I so much want to have a good home, the loveliest children, most wonderful mother-in-law. But, I don’t think I’ll be able to put up with the Yoruba belief that the woman has to tolerate the man no matter what, especially for the children’s sake. I just would not be able to tolerate any form of dictatorship over me.

I know I am not alone in this. I have seen girls who have the same thoughts as me. Even my mum never told me not to think this way and I say these to my brothers too. What do you think. Am sure I can do with some useful advice.[/b]

Kindly drop your advice if you have any. If you wish like advising the sister off-NL, you may send a mail to jarusnairaland@yahoo.com and I'll link you up.

Actually I tried "nail and tooth" to fathom the exact problem of that Sister from that post but I can't. I wonder how: does it have anything to do with my being a non-Yoruba as I see the problem has some tribal predilection; or my being a male (not female) and young? Can't say.

Nevertheless I'll inshaAllah be putting her in my prayers for Allah to solve whatsoever is the problem she faces. May Allah come to your rescue, sis.

@Viaro,

There is something you seemingly misunderstand with Mr. Experts's post, and that is: there are many, many issues that are already discussed by another person(s), knowing that therefore shun-away every need to re-compose the same piece with the same content. I kinda believe taking it and re-posting it is not what you claim it--plagiarism, especially since boards like this one is not an academic platform. Though I believe with something you raise, at least to some extent, that he (Experts) should include the piece's link for at least regard to the effort of its original writer.

That was just a by the by.

On the thread topical issue, you got really wrong there: although I can't, as of now, point directly a single verse where the noble Qur'an is said to be correcting the Bible, yet there are numerous proofs that that's what it has been sent to. For a typical example take the contents of the both two sacred books. On many instances bible tells stories that were later found and proved incorrect, unscientific, fiction, etc and when compared side by side with that of the Qur'an the latter's found correct, scientific, based on historical facts etc. This does not stay here but also on matters about the God, His being, His messengers and their acts, etc.

I'm afraid I lack sufficient time I should have to demonstrate these points to and other readers. But I'll see to it later, inshaAllah.

Thanks, Chakula

The thief was whipped 50 times, and was asked to either pay N20,000 fine or spend 20 months in prison. Since nobody stands for him he's to do the latter punishment. Pity.

Thanks to the Lord of the Universe.

Allah's Apostle (pbuh) said, "When the Imam says: 'Ghair-il-Maghdubi 'Alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e. not the path of those who earn Your Anger, nor the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then you must say, 'Ameen', for if one's utterance of 'Ameen' coincides with that of the angels, then his past sins will be forgiven."

I hope she's doing fine wherever she's been.

FayeZik:
A good point u hv made Muhsin. We shud always ask about each
Other, to initiate this, how about sending our contacts to Jarus so that noone will
Be incommunicado. What do u think guys?

Contact like how? Physical address? Any way, Jarus already has my phone no. and e-mail address. And I give him all permission to share it with anyone interested.

@All,

Where are you, brothers and sisters? Hope you've been doing good.

I have been going to court these days; I was robbed by a "friend" while in Mosque attending Subhi prayer days ago. The thief was caught and all the things he had taken found in his room while searching. Since then I haven't been resting; sympathisers calls, visits, messages. . . And the case is still in court. I should have been there today 11am. I only refused to be there exactly that time seeing our case was only heard some minutes to 4:00pm yesterday.

Will, inshaAllah, update you when I get back.

Salam, Jarus and all

Actually I lost real contact with Abuzola as his number doesn't work these days. Though we seldom exchange words on facebook. He once complained to me how unjustly he's been kicked out of this forum in spite of the fact we "have" Mukinat as our ambassador. Hmm . . . . Anyway, he's doing fine as far as I can say. Sister Uplawal could help us here with the latest info about him.

And, Olabowale shouldn't have left us that way; he at least should say that he was going for something like sabbatical, vacation, or whatsoever he feels like calling it. He should do that not because it's anything mandatory but because we care (as we hope he too does) about one another as Muslim brothers and sisters.

Babs, on another side, I learned he was even aboard yesterday. Alhamdulillah.

And others, we pray wherever you are; may Allah help and guide us all. May He triumph Islam over all other "religions", amin.

Salam alaikum

@Babs

Welcome back. I was just yesterday asking of you on another thread. Wish you've been doing great. Alhamdulillah.

@Godslave,

Can you modify your reply so that we can read it easily?

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (PBUH) said to me, "When the revenues of Bahrain will arrive, I shall give you such and such and such.'' He passed away before the revenues were received. When they arrive during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him), he ordered to be announced: "Anyone whom Messenger of Allah (PBUH) promised or owed anything, should come to him.'' I went to him and said: "Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had said to me such and such.'' He took a double handful out of the money and gave it to me. I counted it and found that it was five hundred dirham. Then Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "Take twice as much more of that amount.''

Assalam alaikum, brothers and sisters

Let me first of all begin by welcoming our honourable sister back to the house. You are warmly welcome back, Mukinat. I kinda fathom from your tone that something actually went wrong. But as the saying goes: all is well that ends well. May Allah, the Exalted, protect and prevent us, amin.

That aside, sincerely speaking something is wrong with this board these days. You (plural) might have noticed that as we barely see members contribute as they used to. I, in particular, got no problem with the site that could deter me to be as active as I used to; it’s something different, actually. I'm doing my best to get rid of that hindrance and come back as lively, kicking and active as ever. May Allah help me get through with that, amin.

But we really lack the true brotherhood and sisterhood we should have among ourselves. How? For example, the likes of Abuzola, Sir Olabowale, littleb, babs, etc no longer come aboard. And surprisingly enough nobody (or a few?) cares to ask of them, let alone looking for ways to invite them back, help them with the problem they face, pray for Allah to ease their tasks (if that’s what dissuade them from appearing). While our Christian brethren always ask of their folks. . .

The story goes along that line. . .

We really get to do something, please. I can't help feeling their absence. I can't, more-over, feel edgy or something very similar--thinking sth. happened/happening to them. Please Mod and Super-Mod respond to my request. Or anyone with any knowledge of those guys whereabouts. Thanks

really and how exactly are you sure that i didnt condemn the killing of the muslims??
no one is putting words in your mouths but judging your comments based on its colouring and aspersions you muslims should desist from using inflamatory and unfeeling comments like the bolded because two wrongs dont make a right secondly it has been proven that both parties were sponsored so how can it be a strictly christian versus muslim fight

You of all people?

Who proves that?

The Western world is starting to see Nigeria as a religious battleground.

This is not good for the Muslims in this country, because Christians will now have their voices heard.

Nigeria is not going to leave the spotlight.

Why and how?

Didn't the Christians as well do the same just recently at Kuru, where Muslims were massacred and their bodies stuff in wells and pit laterins? I do not and will not, in any way, condone either action but am reminding you of something you seem to have forgotten.

I can very well recall none of you had the courage of overcoming his pathological animus and condemn the other killing of the Muslims in Kuru; while I (here) apparently denounce that of Christians in Dogo Na Hauwa. But you are trying to put words I didn't utter in my mouth! Mts. Get lost, shameless dudes.
