There are some other things religion is still telling us till date science will burst soon especially the Mohammedians. My instinct tells me that God is far from the current religion these men are forcing on us.

Lol! It will shock you. Just die as a non-Muslim first.

The reality of God is far from what every religion tells you, apart from in the Qur'an where God speaks to you directly about Himself.

============================

These people have no grasp of God’s true measure. On the Day of Resurrection, the whole earth will be in His grip. The heavens will be rolled up in His right hand- Glory be to Him! He is far above the partners they ascribe to Him!-

Surah Az Zumar (39), Ayah 67

oluwaseyi0:
Without science telling us about this before hand

Religion will have told us this is sign of end time and consequences of crimes/sin

Ask pastor un righteousness2 or your Alfa to explain this biblically or from Qur'an and they will start singing bulabah

Stay with biblically. Don't mention Qur'an. In Islam, we have knowledge and answers for everything, including Eclipse. The eclipse is a natural phenomenon; and just like everything in nature, is a sign from the signs of God.
============================================

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:

"The sun eclipsed in the life-time of Allah's Apostle on the day when (his son) Ibrahim died. So the people said that the sun had eclipsed because of the death of Ibrahim. Allah's Apostle said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of some-one. When you see the eclipse pray and invoke Allah."

Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 2, Book 18, Number 153

How long did the whole process take?

Not one single word about the over 30,000 people, including 10,000 CHILDREN Israel has MURDERED.

God will certainly judge, and there shall be no peace for the wicked and their supporters forever. Amen.

The comments are filled with hateful slander on the religion shared by billions of people globally. But some would genuinely want to understand what fuels these terrorists, while still respecting their Muslim neighbours. I will attempt to explain. If you are one of them, read on. If you are a hater, keep hating. Soon will you come to know.

First a distinction between Islam and Islamism.

Islam is a religion that brings meaning to billions of people across the world. It is by far the fastest growing religion in the world and in all regions due to its beauty, clarity, logic, and community. It has immensely contributed to all that is good in the modern world (This is a historical fact). Its foundation is the firm belief that: No one deserves absolute worship and devotion except the One True God, and that this God sent His Messenger Muhammad, the final in a line of Messengers that included Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus, to show the world how to worship Him, and how to relate with Him, other people, and all the other creations that occur in nature, so that they can be live in peace and harmony, in tune with the beats of the universe. This is the meaning of the common phrase you hear from Muslims: La Ilaha Illa Llah Muhammadun Rasulullah. Every other thing in Islam stems from this firm foundation.

Islamism on the other hand is a political ideology, like Marxism, communism, socialism, anarchism, authoritarianism, etc. Its goal is to create a society that works on the blueprint derived from its interpretation of what God wants. Like other political ideologies, it has variants that seeks to actualize its goals non-violently, and others that will act with violence. Its foundation is a perverted interpretation of a verse of the Quran (6:57) that reads:
Say, "Indeed, I am on clear evidence from my Lord, and you have denied it. I do not have that for which you are impatient. The decision is only for Allah. He relates the truth, and He is the best of deciders."

The traditional Islamic understanding of this verse has always been that only God can decide what happens, where it happens, and when it happens. And He is the only decider of right and wrong. But the Islamist perversion is that Sovereignty belongs to God alone. Only a kingdom ruled by God can guarantee peace, justice, and prosperity to the inhabitants. Therefore, any country that is not ruled by a theocracy deriving from their own interpretations of God’s Law is a false idol, a devil seeking to inhibit the prosperity of their people. And all people that support the state apparatus of this false idol are agents of the devil that must be destroyed without mercy. Believing that you are fighting the devil and his forces to save the world from chaos is a powerful motivator. This is why the radical Islamist terrorists have refused to go away – they believe everyone else is an agent of the devil perpetrating evil, and they are the last forces of good in the world, and they will gladly give their lives so that good will prevail.

How do we defeat such an ideology? By three strategies:
1) Just and Caring Rulership: This is the most critical. Governments must rule with justice and fairness, and do the best they can to ensure the safety and prosperity of their citizens. When there is no fairness and justice, there are grievances, which leads to resentment, which leads to a desire to seek justice, which leads to falling prey to Islamist propaganda – that you need to become a force for good in the world by eliminating these unjust agents of the devil and all their supporters.
2) Education: Most of the Islamist terrorists are starkly ignorant of Islam (the religion). They only rely on tracts produced by their leaders which are perversions of Islamic teaching. Proper and regulated Islamic education should be pursued among Muslims, so that they can recognized perversion when they see it.
3) Military force: By decimating the terrorists' formations militarily, others can see that their mission is not supported by God, which will lead to a change of heart.

This is what defeated the growth of Christian terrorism in the West in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For more on Christian terrorism, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism, and it has started to rear its ugly head again (see: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/17/we-need-to-talk-about-extremism-and-its-links-to-christian-fundamentalism).

May the peace be upon those who follow the guidance.

Bros,
Take my advise and change to this:

Rent 50,000.00
Fuel 80,000.00
Car Maintenance 20,000.00
Gen 20,000.00
Food 60,000.00
Health 10,000.00
Data 5,000.00
DSTV 5,000.00
Card 3,000.00
Drycleaner 5,000.00
Miscellaneous (Hygiene, 22,000.00
Clothing, Footwear, Outings, etc)
Gifts to people 10,000.00
Eko electric 10,000.00
Family house 20,000.00
Savings/Investment 80,000.00
TOTAL 400,000.00

Note the following
1) At your age and level, single without children, if you are not investing, or saving to accumulate investment capital, at least 25% of your earnings (I consider family house as investment), then you need to have your head screwed right.
2) Don't mind anyone saying you should not give. Givers never lack. Whatever you give will come back in manifolds. It is the stingy that will never be successful.
3) Keep working hard to increase your earnings so that you can maintain the percentages when you start having wife and children. Eventually, proceeds from your investments too will contribute until it fills your entire need. Then you can retire in peace and happiness.
4) Don't waste your life and earnings trying to impress anyone. It will always end in tears.
5) Never sway away from God. Life is ephemeral.

Peace!!!

Why don't we see any Muslim posts on Fridays anymore? And when we do see, it is only about Rulings?

On Sunday, the whole FP will be filled with Christian threads.

Please let's wake up.

Alhamdulillah for the mercy of Islam. Front page on Friday please!

I noticed that there are very few or no Islamic threads on the front page on Fridays. Why is this the case?
