This is it.
If only people can do discussions without inflammatory remarks and try to keep it clean, it would be better, but all its being turned into is a freak show.

I hope people will take this into cognizance.

@OP,
Regarding this very issue, I'll, inshaAllah, provide us with solid proofs of her actual age soon.
May Allah guide us, amin.

Assalamu alaikum,

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet (PBUH) used to start every thing from the right (for good things) whenever it was possible in all his affairs; for example: in washing, combing or wearing shoes.

I too enjoyed reading wisedge and Tudor's encounter.
One needs not to be told who is the good and the bad among them.
Hint: Tudor, retreat, for you are flatly defeated.

@OP,

These Mods clearly say, above this very board, that we should respect one another's belief. Yet some of us never adhere to the rule. Hence they must delete any sort of rubbish.

And to them, sincerely speaking; some posts shouldn't be just deleted. Why because there's nothing therein them like insult, abuse, blasphemy, etc. But intellectuality. Take note, please.

Ciao!

Counter-action.

On a more serious note; I've never believed that Buhari is corrupt. But he's not ready, actually, to rule the country. How he did then as a military leader and succeeded can no longer be done now.

davidylan:
The biblical prophets are clearly defined . . . they have nothing to do with islam.

This is rubbish:

1. The quran says the bible is corrupt, so on what basis are you using that same bible to make an islamic point?

2. Exactly what "message" did the prophets bring? The biblical prophets ALL came SPECIFICALLY to the jews. It wasnt until Christ's death and resurrection that salvation became open to the gentiles. So whatever message the prophets brought was certainly NOT similar to that of mohammad who wasnt even a jew in the first place.

this is more unintelligent and dishonest rubbish. Moses gave 10 commandments to the jews, Samuel didnt come speaking "the Lord your God is one" neither did Noah (who wasnt even a prophet except in mohammad's fraudulent world), Ezekiel or Jeremiah . . . so did all these not come with a "message"?

To quote Noah from the quran is just laughably stupid . . . Noah died more than 5000 yrs before that quran was written . . . so from whom did that alleged quote come from?

what we can "see evidently" is that the "god" of mohammad could not have been the same as that of Noah, Samuel, Jeremiah or Isaiah. None of them were political leaders or warriors or husbands of 6yr olds with concubines. Infact many of them paid dearly for their faith with their lives . . . they were mocked, beaten, jailed and killed for daring to oppose the rulers of their day with the Word of the Lord.

Meek men like Moses, faithful servants like Micah, mighty men of faith like Elijah . . . could not have been from the same God as the blood thirsty bandit called mohammad.

none of them suffered schizophrenic fits when God or angels spoke to them one-on-one, Daniel had fantastic encounters with the Lord who appeared with the three hebrew boys in the burning fiery furnace.

The biblical prophets had miracles and tons of evidence to prove supernatural providence from God . . . what does mohammad have beyond his unreliable words?

More rubbish . . . Christ came for one purpose . . . to bring REDEMPTION through His precious and sinless blood. To equate Him with mohammad is serious blasphemy.

this is a huge lie that has been perpetuated for too long. Even ordinary wikipedia sets the record straight - allah = al + ilah - THE god!

It is interesting to note that the ARABIC WORD FOR GOD is ILAH! Very similar to the hebrew and aramaic versions called Elah!

When will you devils stop lying?

Mohammad's father was abdallah - slave of allah . . . which allah was that?

Still using the "corrupt" bible to prove allah? when Isaiah was penning those great words allah (if he existed at all) was naught but a mere one of 360 idols in the kaaba shrine.

the above is again another example of the stupidity of the average muslim.

1. Trinity is an english word - the bible was never written in english. How can you find "trinity" in a bible written mostly in greek and aramaic?

2. The concept of trinity is clearly established in the bible.

3. If indeed we shld disregard the words of John since "he never met Jesus" . . . how reliable then is the quran or the words of mohammad who lived thousands of yrs after EITHER Christ or the disciples he usurped lived and died?

Why is the trinity a particular problem for the muslim? Has he finished reading the doctrines in the quran?

You are not worth replying to at all. Your religion would be better off without ignorant persons like you. You can't not reason totally. Your specialty is blabbing, abusing, insulting and calling names. You cannot quote both the two books, as I do, and reasonable, rationally, intelligently back up your claims. But blabbing, calling names. . .what a shame.

More shame when I remember you are a PASTOR? What a pastor?

And more proofs are on the way, inshaAllah.

@ahonohai,

Let me take you to a little trip. Say he met him, right? Where is the word "trinity" or its equivalent therein bible. Thanks

Dede1:
Anybody who read this article of alleged selling of a baby by a mother and concluded that it happened as stated should not be allowed any place close to decision making circle.

If the majority of conclusions instigated by the article are yardstick to measure the intellects of the so-called Nigerians, then I will suggest that the country is in a deeper trouble than perceived.

I don't quite get where you are leading to by your words.

congoshine:
poorly developed brain you mean to say 

LOL

ahonohai:
Who is you people? Don't generalise.

Just ask your question there and look for my response; you know I will respond.

Good. And am sorry for the generalization.

BTW, I'll like to see your response to one thread I started today. It's entitled The Messages of the Prophets. . .
Thanks

ilugunboy:
@Mushin,
We thought the guy was going to be a refreshing change to the OBJ years, but just throwing away all the initial goodwill we gave him by seconds. It quiet unfortunate that this is the best OBJ can give as a successor.

You people voted him.

kokoA:
VACANCY! submit your C.V to me

Hahaha

huxley2:
what is happening to this thread?

Your tribal sentiment, dude, is sickening. Why this title? Did the newspaper say anything of that sort?

;d

ilugunboy:
The guy is completely the odd one out in the first picture, the way their Nigeria (not our Naija) always stands out like a sore thumb amongst the gathering of progressive nations.

Our collective shame indeed!

Which country did you write you live in your profile? Nigeria of course. So its ours still.

OK.
But even if I open (it) you people will refuse to answer. And if you respond, the thread end up being locked. Mts.

Henry Okah

President Umaru Yar’adua has ordered the release of militant leader Henry Okah, who is currently standing trial for alleged gun-running and treason, after reports said Okah has accepted the president’s offer of amnesty.

Okah is leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the main militant group, whose attacks in the last six weeks have wreaked havoc on the nation’s oil sector.

Presidential Spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi said yesterday in a statement that the president, who is currently attending the G8 Summit in Italy, has instructed Attorney-General of the Federation Michael Aondoakaa to “tidy up” the legal processes for Okah’s release.

Earlier yesterday, news agencies quoted one of Okah’s lawyers Wilson Ajuwa as saying that the militant leader has accepted the president’s offer of clemency.

Adeniyi said, “The President feels elated by the acceptance of amnesty offer by Mr Henry Okah and commends the role played by his lawyer, Mr Femi Falana in the entire process.

“Shortly before he left Abuja yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, the President mandated the AGF to work with Falana to tidy up the legal process so that Okah’s release can be effected.

“President Yar’adua, also calls on the remaining militant leaders to avail themselves of the amnesty offer so as to pave the way for peace and rapid development in the Niger Delta for which he is strongly committed.”

Reuters news agency quoted Ajuwa as saying: “They offered it to him yesterday. Okah welcomed the amnesty. We are in the process of finalising it. Hopefully, it will be resolved early next week.”

Ajuwa later confirmed to Daily Trust by telephone that the militant leader had been offered the amnesty, though he could not specifically say if Okah has accepted the offer. “We are still (discussing) on it,” he said. “We will be able to come out with an official position by Sunday or Monday.”

Also, Falana, who is the lead counsel to Okah, told our reporter in Lagos that he could not confirm if Okah has accepted the clemency offer. He said he had not seen Okah since last Friday when they last met in court.

When asked for comments, Attorney General of the Federation Michael Aondoakaa (SAN) said: “I do not know anything about it now, you can find out from the National Security Adviser to the President.”

If Okah is released, it would raise hopes that other militants would lay down their weapons in the Niger Delta, Reuters reported.

Yar’adua announced an amnesty programme for all Niger Delta militants last month, and extended the clemency offer to Okah with a promise to release him if he accepted.

A meeting between Okah’s lawyers and government officials is expected on Sunday or Monday to finalise the terms of the amnesty and his release, a second Okah lawyer told Reuters.

Okah was arrested in Angola in September 2007 and extradited to Nigeria to face charges carrying a possible death penalty. They included supplying machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and bazookas to armed groups in the Niger Delta.

He has been on trial before the Federal High Court in Jos, and last Friday the court adjourned hearing in the case till July 24.

The militant’s release has been one of the key demands from MEND.

A senior spokesman for MEND, General Boyloaf, confirmed to the BBC that if Henry Okah was set free, the organisation would lay down its arms, but added that the release was just one issue—and there were other issues to be settled in the region.

Even if militant leaders agree on paper to a ceasefire, there is little to stop splinter groups with speedboats and dynamite from attacking hundreds of kilometres of exposed pipeline or continuing abductions and ransom demands.

People should be encouraged to adopt children/give them up for adoption, not buy/sell them! The child is at risk if being bought/sold.

I once heard one complaining that he went to adopt a child but the rules are a pain in the neck.
Has anyone know how this works?

I find it difficult to find the rationale behind this OP. Is it meant to make people laugh or what? Remember this board is titled "Politics". Thanks

ahonohai:
Please start a new thread quoting me and I'll be happy to respond

Why do you always insist like this?

@Nezan,

I always want you be saved. Here is another short tip regarding the thread:

Qur'an chapter 19 is named after her. Secondly go read 3:33,4:163,6:84,7:71-73, and host of others. After you read, come back and tell me your judgment of is said there.

@bashali,

You should go to here: www.kanoonline.com/smf for stuff like this. But not here.

Thanks

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=294720.msg4165480#msg4165480 date=1247230632]so what do you feel is wrong with the picture?

The fact that the man is helping out a woman without asking for sexual favors in return?

I know that's very unusual to you and many others sharing your nationality.[/quote]LOL

Oh, I pity Buhari. He should best quit politics.

@Nezan,

For God's sake, can't you be a bit more fair? Both "I" and Abuzola's threads were locked yesterday. And I swear with the Almighty God nothing like insult, abuse, blasphemy, etc was said in these threads. But here, fairly enough, read $Osisi's threads. . .

Respect the OP and write your input rationally, intelligently and reasonably. Or else remain mute. Is there anything hard? Nope.

Thanks

Assalamu alaikum,


Narrated Abu Musa:

While we were with Allah's Apostle in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbir. Allah's Apostle came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-Listener, the All-Seer." The Prophet then said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): 'La haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor power except with Allah)."

Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 77 :: Hadith 607

LOL

Whatsoever he's what he's to us, i.e. President.

kola oloye:
I like you as a person but my problem with you is that you never tried to understand the cause of these incidents.

You can "educate" us of the cause.

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem,

This thread is not out-and-out mean to hot the feeling neither insult or abuse anyone's belief here. It's mean to appraise, find out and conclude on a certain issue which is being quite unexplainable and thus unclear to many. May the Almighty God guide us, amen.

Are the prophets all sent by God?

Jesus, on whom be peace, says:
"Do you think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the Teachings of the Prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make the teachings come true." (Mathew, 5:17)

The above verse tells us that the Message of these prophets is the same.

What is[i] that[/i] message (commandment)?

Moses, on whom be peace, was asked of it and he answered:
"Israel, remember this! The Lord our God is one." (Deutonomy, 6:4)

It's said to Prophet Isaiah,
"The Lord, who rules and protect Israel, the Lord Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me." (Isaiah, 44:6)

Jesus, on whom be peace, says:
"Jesus replied, "The most important one is this: Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord" (Mark, 12:29)

Noah, on whom be peace, said in Qur'an 33:23 that God is One.

Hood, on whom be peace, in Qur'an 7:59 said the same.

Salih, on whom be peace, in Qur'an 7:65 also said the same.

Shu'aib, on whom be peace, in the same vein uttered the same in Qur'an 7:73.

Allah says unto Muhammad, on whom be peace,: "And We sent no messenger before you but commended him to inform his people that there is no true God except I; therefore worship Me alone. (Qur'an 21:25).

We can see, evidently enough, that the God of the prophets is that One true God, and to Him alone all worships are called to. (Mark, 12:26)

Moreover, neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by the earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.

Who is that "One true God"?

Allah is the God. The name Allah is the Arabic word for God. More precisely, it is the One Eternal Creator, Lord of the whole universe. It is the same Arabic name for God that is use in the Arabic Bibles. Thats in brief.

Why would not we worship Him?

"Say "O people of the Scripture--Christians and the Jews, come to a word that is equitable between us and you--that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with him and not take one another as lords, instead of Allah. . ."(3:64)

"Can there be another god besides Allah (God)? High is Allah above what they associate with Him."(27: 63)

Isaiah, 44:6 God says He is the first and the last and beside him there is no any god.

Still in Isaiah, 44:6 He asks either there is any God beside him. There is none.

You see? The whole Laws/Teaching/Commandment is ONE=worship God/Allah alone. Jesus, on whom be peace, has never said I am God so worship me. And the word "trinity" is nowhere in the Bible. The whole concept was derived from the words of John, who never met Jesus.

The myth of trinity gradually crept into Christianity, influenced by pegan belief and Greek mythology, an was adopted by Council of Nicaean in 325 CE, according to scholars of both Christianity and Islam.

Thanks for your good comprehension.

A woman, Ijeoma Emeto, who allegedly sold her two weeks old daughter for N15, 000 has been arrested by the police in Abuja.

The Area Commander (Metro), Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Assistant Commissioner of Police Sunday Odukoya said Ijeoma Emeto of Mpape Village sold the baby to one Patience Donatus Ejioku a week after her birth. He said the baby was later given to one Jessinta Ekoma who connived with her husband Vincent Ekoma and took the baby to one Juliana Ekoma in Owerri Imo State. He said a team of police officers led by Superintendent Aisha recovered the baby in Owerri.

“We were informed that the baby could not be found with her mother few days after birth and when we investigated we discovered how the baby was sold. Police would not know the motive behind selling the baby until after investigation. All the suspects have been arrested apart from Juliana Ekoma who is on the run,” he said.

He said Emota who has two other children is in police custody with her accomplices. He said all the children are under the care of the police as she is a single mother.

Emota said when she found that the baby was ill and she could not be able to settle her medical bills she took her to Donatus for care. “I too was unwell and Dotatus gave me N15, 000 for my medical expenses. We met in the church,” she said.

Jessinta said Ejioku complained to her that she could not take care of the baby, so she collected her and gave her sister in law (Juliana) in Owerri. “Juliana has not given birth and was looking for a baby,” she said.
