Nope. Just doing a right thing.

Got things to do better than stating these things.

Whats difficult in doing that, eh?

More-over, anyone can go and see it.

Asalamu Alaikum,

Every Muslim should remember these essential expressions.

Note: Spellings may vary when translated to English

These expressions are mostly singular. For example to say Allah baraka fiki to more than one person you would say Allah baraka fikum and as sister tathbeet noted to say Jazak Allah khieran for more than one person would be Jazakahu Allah khieran and so on. It is fine to speak in the masculine tense when speaking to women formally.

But that notwithstanding your questions, comments, corrections, etc are welcome.

May Allah, the Exalted, guide us all to the right path, ameen.

Just look at the christians, they even claim to know more than the white man who sold them the jesus lie in the first place!
Even the bloody nigerian muslims are now more islamic than the arabs!
What these illiterates do not know is that islam is just arab culture and education disguised as a religion. . .you look at a typical nigerian muslim and you don't know whether the goon is from kano or sudan. . .damn![/quote]Can't you ever without either name calling or swearing words?

Assalamu alaikum,


Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?"

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 21 :: Hadith 246

An exact thread like this one has had just been recently here.

Mod, where are you?

I feel sorry for ya, Sleek29.

I feel sorry for ya fellows.

whalezy4u:

You really a newbie. You don't know nairalanders.

Simply go to Islam for Muslims section and discuss this; not here.

Stay blessed.

@Nezan,

Is this your new hobby, inserting words you want to say in one's quote?

Please get matured and quit doing that. It's not a work of a sensible man.

Thanks

OLAADEGBU:
Like I said, If you don't want to be confused with the facts don't watch it because you stand the risk of losing your ignorance if you do.

Like I also said, the clips are wholly fraud, thus not worthy viewing.

Should I present you facts to believe that? Don't think there is that need.

davidylan:
where were his quranic schools?

Kai David!

You get a real job.

Continue.

kuramo:
If Dr Olusola Saraki or is it Alhaji Abubarka El Sar 'aki or is it Chief Saraki claims to be a Fulani from Mali. Here is the solution to his identity crisis.

The Nigerian Immigration should simply deport him and his entire family back to Mali so he can be with his Fulani brethren.

He can then use his questionable wealth to contest for the Presidency of Mali.

Very funny input.

Pure dogma.

OLAADEGBU:
@ olabowale,

Before you go out on a tangent and start instigating your almajiris to slaughter the man you see in that videoclip even though you have not listened to what he was saying; he did not say that he was a muslim, he is a coptic christian as his dressing depicts. Why are you afraid to watch the film, are you scared that you might come across the truth? If you don't want to be confused with the facts I will leave you to bury your head in the sand since ignorance is bliss. But for those of you who are sincere seekers of the truth don't let any of these far -to-see deny you of the opportunity of getting out of bondage simply click on the video link to get knowledge and understanding.

I don't ever waste my time watching such a fraudulent video clips. They are pure crap.

olusolami:
being a muslim is a state of mind, many are bron muslims but they fail to practice because they are just too lazy to appreciate what its all about, i was lazy too, i didnt even have muslimahs as friends, but i had to sit though a lecture by my day, who happens to be an IMAM, and what he said kind of got through to me, i realzied that i was practsing my own islam the way i wanted nt the way it should be, i recenty decided to be using my hijab, i thought it would look very odd on me but it drew people closer to me, they were curious about what happened to change my mind, it was like they didnt know i was a muslim, SO FORTHOSE THAT KNOW ME, I AM A MUSLIM and im proud,

You sound exactly like one girl I know in Bayero University, Kano. The girl came from Kwara state, thus she's probably an Igala. Can't actually say. She was first dressing like an infidel--exposing every curve of her body. But all of a sudden she changed to a full muslimah--always wearing an unadorned outfit from head to toe. She's very lucky.

May Allah, the Exalted, guide us to the right path, amen.

ilosiwaju:
@poster
then you are simply deluded.

He might be un-deluded. 

May Allah, the Exalted, guide us to the right path, amen.

May God help him.

But his future na wa o in this country.

He's at last released, right? Lucky.

Unless my God guides me I shall surely be among those who go astray.

Thanks Allah, the Exalted, for guiding me.

Wish you will guide folks like my nairaland friend, Nezan, amen.

Funny.

Wonder never end.

Are these your problems with Islam?

I don't know.

Maybe we are just created so by the God.

Who knows exactly?

Nezan:
Have you been rational?

Yup.

The former governor was just furious because his endorsed choice wasn't chosen.

Too unlucky.

LOL

Wa'alaik Salam,

Very good.

Ameen to your prayers brothers and sisters.

lol

Hi,

We have passed this stage, as I told you on other thread, Nezan.

Please get more rationale.


Oops! I break my promise. Something necessitate that.

Assalamu alaikum,

The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, said:

"He who observes Ramadhan believing (it to be a pillar of Islam), and expecting its reward, his past sins will be effaced."

Bukhari, Muslim and others.

You'll never understand.

A mind believes what it chooses to believe.

Eyes see what they choose to see.

Thats all.

no.
