sino: Dont let my granpa see this o, to him, a muslim must wear a turban and it must be several yards long lol.

I think it stemed from trying to imitate the prophet(saw) since we were told he had a turban, automatically it is part of a muslims attire, not trying to differentiate culture from religion...the arabs wore the turban before Islam na.

My ish has to do with how people here tend to ascribe dressing in a particular style synonymous to what they see of other scholars as some kinda OFFICIAL MUSLIM attire.

Definitely. There's a reason those in the north and the arabs wear the turban. One needs to like I always say, sieve the wheat from the chaff. The way words are used and their implications must be noted.

Makrooh connotes something that is disliked, even if it is not mentioned, for the benefit of doubt, it's mentioned.

The topic is WHAT MEN WEAR. Are we saying that because a man's body hug covers his body, it doesn't reveal his body structure

The `awrah of a man is between the navel and the knee. This is the area that has to be covered.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “What is below his navel to his knee is his `awrah.” [Musnad Ahmad (6756), Sunan al-Dâraqutnî (1/230), and Sunan al-Bayhaqî (2/229)]

Both Shu`ayb al- Arna`ût and al- Albânî declare this hadîth to have a good (hasan) chain of transmission.

It is obligatory for every Muslim to cover his `awrah while in prayer. The `awrah for men is from the navel to the knee.


As long as this area is thoroughly covered, prayer will be valid. Scholars disagree, however, as to whether the knees themselves have to be covered.

Shams al-Dîn Ibn Qudâmah writes in al-Sharh al-Kabîr (3/203): “The navel and the knees themselves are not part of the `awrah. This is the opinion of Mâlik and al-Shafi`î. Abu Hanîfah says that the knees are part of the `awrah.”


It is preferable for a man to cover his shoulders while in prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “None of you should pray in a single garment without having part of it upon his shoulder.” [Sahîh al- Bukhârî (359) and Sahîh Muslim (516)]


The majority of scholars are of the opinion, however, that covering the shoulders is not obligatory.


Al-Nawawî explains this in his commentary on the hadîth [Sharh Sahîh Muslim (4/231-232)]:

Scholars have explained that the wisdom behind doing so is that if the worshipper is wearing a waistcloth without having part of it upon his shoulder, he cannot be secure that his `awrah will not become exposed as opposed to if he places part of it upon his shoulder.

Also, he might have to hold it (his waistcloth) with one or both of his hands and in doing so neglect, among other things, the Sunnah of placing his right hand over his left hand beneath his chest and that of raising his hands when he is supposed to raise them. It is also because he is neglecting to cover his upper body, and this is a place for beautiful apparel.

Allah says: “And wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer.” [Sûrah al-A`râf: 31] Mâlik, Abû Hanîfah, al- Shâfi`î, and the majority of scholars consider the prohibition here to be one of dislike and not one of unlawfulness.


Therefore, if a man prays in a single garment that covers his `awrah without placing any of it upon his shoulder, his prayer will be valid, though his action will be disliked.

The official position in the Hanbalî school of thought is that it is obligatory for a man to place part of the garment upon his shoulder if he is able to do so. Shams al-Dîn Ibn Qudâmah writes in al-Sharh al- Kabîr (3/203):

Whenever a man covers his `awrah in prayer, his prayer will be acceptable, as long as he has something of clothing upon his shoulder, regardless of whether it is from the garment that is covering his `awrah or something else. This is if he is able to do so. However, the strongest opinion is that it is not obligatory.

Sheikh `Abd al-`Azîz b. Bâz says:

“It is obligatory for every Muslim to cover his `awrah while praying. The `awrah for men is from the navel to the knee. As long as this area is thoroughly covered, prayer will be valid.”

And Allah knows best.

I have not the book herre but you can peruse the attachment.

emilyone: a guy once did that to me in a banking all. God saved him that i was in a good mood, if not i would have stabbed him in the groin with the pen i was holding.

About this, have you ever wondered why some ladies never stay on the queue? I used to vex for these ladies who just sit down somewhere etc cos I see no sense in being not patient to wait on a queue - when you feel you're next, someone pops out saying "am here", like seriously, your ghost is visible Were we whiling away time on the queue?

A friend of mine told me this abuse by shameless men happens especially on the ATM queue, so they would rather stay beside someone on the queue than on the queue.

Personally, I term this "gross disrespect to your body", so next time, any right-thinking lady should give such pathetic male a pathetic embarassment if there's any phrase like that! When you publicly embarass the opportunist, him go think twice before him try am again elsewhere. You don't even need to be violent, just publicize the incident. Oniranu



It has also occured where after arguing with the guy in front of me for just popping out of nowhere to use the machine, it gets to my turn and there's no cash available. Very annoying!

Like it's said, whenever the falcons lose, it makes the news! Whenever they win, it's like an overflogged issue.

All the same, what makes this more like bad news was the girls' near-disgraceful display unworthy of 6 times champions.

[quote author=Red-Light]number portability will definitely do sum magic..[/quote]At the FEC meeting, it was still mentioned that number portability will begin December. Let's see then.

Slim-fit is different from tight-fit.

All the same, for the shirt, they should get to the elbow.

They can't all be the same. Though they may have a/some class(es) that feature in the 3, they'll eventually all branch out to their specialized areas.

^^^ Pele. But like I always tell candidates, if you don't know why you failed, you prolly may not know how to pass. Hope on reflection, you've 'hatched' out your mistakes.

About the body hugs or tight fitted shirts, I've read about that some years ago where the top recommended was something that should at least, get to the elbow for the man! Certainly, hugs don't do that.

1. To pray bareheaded due to laziness or to pray while arms are exposed above the elbows

2. To play with the clothes or the body during Prayers

3. Praying in clothes in which people ordinarily do not go out

4. To dust the floor with one’s hand to prevent the soiling of clothes

13. Praying in clothes with pictures of living things on them

16. Praying while sheets or clothes wrapped around in such a way which will make it difficult to free the hands quickly

Here, #16 may do with agbada in some cases or sometimes, suits!

One 'trend' am observing is women wearing the jalabiyas that are meant for men - especially the ones that are 'fitted'.

Some companies have it as their policy not to add any prefix - e'one is called by their names. However, taking cognizance of the Nigerian culture that emphasizes respect (and a situation where the organization/company has no such policy), it's safe to add the Mr/Miss/Mrs prefix before the surname.

In the civil service, you go hear "broda", "sista", "chief", "pastor", "alfa", "PS", "S.A" etc as our people take exception if you fail to give them the recognition they 'deserve' especially if you're aware.

In the academia, do not fail to use 'Dr' where the person is a PhD holder and when such person is a professor, do not make the mistake of degrading the person. Dis is Naija.

From my knowledge of what computer schools offer and their course contents, I'd say you should go for number 1.

nenergy: e.g At a job interview in Lagos,candidates were deliberately delayed then taken to a dining hall for lunch and were asked to serve themselves unsupervised. Many candidates exhibited gluttony while others observed table manners.

Lol!

Big Brother is watching you. Boys dey hung - using NL familiar words, some of those candidates must have seen something better than garri!


I've not had such but there's one whereby the interviewer(s) laugh and you're unsure of whether to join in the (obviously not funny) joke

Why modify my post?

He came up with War Against Indispline and flogged people to stay in queues. That was a colonial era and sharia style mentality in display.

I have been advocating for government to be taken compulsorily as a course in high schools for, in this era of social media, people not only misinform, they take it to a new level by writing it on websites making people who're not patient enough to seive credible information from blasphemous accounts to be misled.

For goodness sake, where is it in the sharia that people are flogged on queues Do you even know the sharia you're writing about? Have you ever taken time to know about it before writing about it? The same queues you're riling about is what Dora's Information Ministry encouraged Nigerians to embrace in their media campaign of 'Good people, good nation'. Don't just swallow things hook, line and sinker without investigating - that's what differentiates your analysis from others.

It's okay not to be in the same ship or party but when people want to criticize, they should stop the blasphemy and stop misleading (ignorant) people with false information please!!!
