small g denotes anything and not the proper God Who is identified as the Creator, by those who believe that thre is a Creating God. Allah is the specific name of that God Who is the Creator. Hence this God is atually "The God", the loosely translated meaning of the Arabic word: Allah. Allah is a compound word, therefore, where Al is "The" and illa is "God or generic god" But when you put them together, you will have a specific word for a specific God; Allah (The God Almighty Creator). Is there any other god but The God?

For those who write Allah with lower case "a", it is either that they are ignorant of its evil implications or they intent to display arrogance. Neither should be the property of a muslim, male or female. Write Allah and dont start with lower case leter. And write God without the lower case first letter to specify in your own mind that you are speaking about the Creator. And not just anything that a person may falsely or ignorantly worship.

Funmi. It seems to me that you are afraid of something. What it is I can't put my finger on it. There are many wealthy and self made successes among muslim women. Even as far back as the very beginning of Islam of Muhammad (AS)! His wife, Khadijah (RA), was older, more successful if wealth was the measure. And she was the very first person to become muslim. Muslim women are strong. They raise the future of the family.

Become a muslim. You will meet your match, from the rank of muslim men. Your OKO (a strong Lion) will catch you. He is in Germantown or neighboring place. Trust me. If you want a yoruba Muslim; he is in there. Like a ragu spagetti sauce.

Shaaa dimalee. Then oun oju nwa loju nrii. Muslim men are very romantic. When you roar, your husband roar will drown yours. But the benefit of all of this is that your life will be richer. You will be self made with a purpose.

Benefit yourself. Become a muslim and get a benefit of a husband. Your heart will finally be at peace. And finally, there is no ulterior motive that is hidden. I just want the best for you. The same way I want it for everyone.

Aburo. Become a muslim. There are many men, in Islam, who if you marry from the pool, will let you know that you are a woman, in more ways than one. The fortunate man, your muslim husband will take care of all your needs; finance, emotion, etc. Infact all that you know that husband should do, and then some.

What type of man; hue, race, height, build, etc, is your fancy? Islam has him. If your taste is white and young, I know there right there in Germantown, or neighboring communities. If its home grown black man, or foreign grown, young or older, Funmi, somebody will be there to take you on. He will meet you all the way. What are permissable in Islam will overwhelm you, from him, whereby you will become a kitten.

Aburo. Funmilayo. Become a muslim. There are experiences, tons of them you will discover with your husband.

there is a person who will dig that in Islam. Not my type though, who will sam roll you in one single shot. Just become a muslim. Your husband will appear in that Maryland that you live in.

Are you in Laurel, or where: Potomak, Bethesda, Baltimore? lol.

@Adam Brody: For comparison of two consecutive responses to me, are laid out one after the other. Yor erradict thoughts is very apparent in the way you score your points. Your thought is not even consistent.

@olabowale

Yes i was a former VERBAL TERROR on NL and i am not denying that!

But i never commanded anyone on NL to cut off the limbs and feet and cruxify any NL that doesnt share my views!

You just scored a lower point in front of the christians by proving Allah is more of an unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

So so far even though i hate to admit it, its:

Koran 0 Bible 1

and compare it to below on the scoring system; See how inconsistent the great mind is;

@Olabowale

Before i used to wonder why people like pilgrim and davidylan used to say you are a very daft and imbecilic poster! Maybe because we havent really come across each other post wise to share a banter but after this post, even though i disagree with davidylan and pilgrim, i have to say they have been vindicated.

You state things out of context and you post things that are totally irrelevant to the issue at hand talkless of the long windy crap you spew!

Where in my previous post did i compare my self to your so called allah? If your so blind from myopia, you would have read that i was once a former verbal terror on nairaland! Did i arrogate my self to any god or what? When did a verbal terror turn into a religious deity?

And you go on to justify the lunacy and idiocy of your allah in this post:


Quote
if He wills to hurt you, nothing you can do. And no one will help you.
if He wills to favor you, nothing can anyone can do about it.
and when He sends death to claim a soul, no one can delay the decree for a moment longer.

and those Who are and What they are commanded to do by Allah, whosoever disobey will be dealt with in proper Justice; those who obey will receive Mercy, from Him alone


What kind of a sensible and intelligent god will come out to say "if He wills to hurt you, nothing you can do"? only a full blown lunatic worships such a monster and both the worshipper and the monsters are deluded freaks!

I puke on your shitty religion

For your stupid comments, you just set the koran 3 points aback as the most violent book:

Scores: Bible 0 Koran -4

Is this a mind that is sound? May Allah help you against whatever is controlling you. Amin.

Now as to your arrogance of being a "former Terror". I have used the condition of the arrogant lies of tyrannical pharaoh to illustrate the false complex that you have of your own person. in the same vein that Pharaoh called himself lord of Egypt and controller of nile, both are empty boasts. The same way is your empty boast of "Terror!" By relative comparison, you have displayed Pride and Arrogance!

Pharaoh found out that he was only mouthy, the hard way when ordinary water from the sea in his territory was used to annihilate him. I pray that such delusion that plagued him does not lead you to peril. I hope you will reflect on this statement from me.

Omo boy, don't be puffed up with arrogance. You are only a human being. Yes, once you needed the nourishment from your mother.

Listen Funlayo. You don't have to marry my type. Islam, like everything else, is not homogenous. There is a man who will satisfied with your energy and you alone. An unseasoned man or somebody in your age range will like you as the only wife.

Just become a Muslim, aburo. There is a husband ready for you. He is in your neck of the wood. If I know what type of man that flow your roll, you will find a muslim that fits that perfectly.

Make that move. Am rooting for you to do it. Go Funmi.

The "former Terror" in the same way that Pharaoh called himself "lord of egypt/commander of river Nile". Both are delusional liars. Toothless and fake in arrogance and empty personal agandisement. If you command, I hope you are smart enough to know that no one will listen to you. You have zero power. You are arrogantly comparing yourself to Allah Who you will have no defender to protect you from His Power; while you are alive and when you die, in the far future:

if He wills to hurt you, nothing you can do. And no one will help you.
if He wills to favor you, nothing can anyone can do about it.
and when He sends death to claim a soul, no one can delay the decree for a moment longer.

and those Who are and What they are commanded to do by Allah, whosoever disobey will be dealt with in proper Justice; those who obey will receive Mercy, from Him alone. What are you going to do, when you arrogantly lead yourself astray and will definitely be punished for it? have you prepared yourself for the biggest punishment that you can not be able to get used to? Ever?

You just scored a lower point in front of the christians by proving Allah is more of an unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

So so far even though i hate to admit it, its:

Koran 0 Bible 1

You will find out in the long run who is in authority; Allah or you who needs His Mercy, but arrogant to ask for it?

@Olaadegbu: I am building my plan against you. Thats Makr. You know that am planning because i informed you. If I didn't, my plan will be secret, and unknown to you. If you are not my friend or somebody I dislike, it should be natural that my action to counteract or render or overcome your evil action or intent and make it ineffect, should be expected by you. My action is therefore is not a deceit, or deception nor am I a deceiver, since all you wish is evil to my grand objective of progress. Now place Allah as the One now taking action to act against the action of the "disbeliever; non Muslims and the Devil. Note that the believers are true Muslims.


Now lets talk about deception, deceit or deceiver. Thats Khaada'. If I pretend that you are my friend, but in reality, I count you as an enemy, that is deceit on my part. It means that I have brought about deception because I am a deceiver who is not being honest or sincere with you. That is if you are an innocent man. But if you are an evil person, what I do to neutralize your evil plots or deception, is fair game, as long as I am within my power to do so. Now Allah is the Almighty Who has Power to do all things. Is there anyone to challenge His decision, plan, etc? If an evil person or Devil is deceiving innocent people who are beloved to Allah, is thre a problem if Allah also deceive the deceiver and render their deception and deceit useless?

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And similarly, We have made in every town leaders among its criminals that they may conspire in it; and they do not conspire except against themselves and they do not have perception.

Yusuf Ali:
Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot (and burrow) therein: but they only plot against their own souls, and they perceive it not.

Pickthal:
And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones, that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves, though they perceive not

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And remember O dear Prophet when the disbelievers were scheming against you to either imprison you, or to kill you or to banish you; and they were scheming, and Allah was making His secret plan; and Allah's secret plan is the best.

Yusuf Ali:
Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.

Pickthal:
And when those who disbelieve plot against thee (O Muhammad) to wound thee fatally, or to kill thee or to drive thee forth; they plot, but Allah (also) plotteth; and Allah is the best of plotters

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And indeed those before them had plotted; therefore Allah Himself is the Master of all strategies; He knows all what every soul earns; and soon will the disbelievers realise for whom is the final abode.

Yusuf Ali:
Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah's He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.

Pickthal:
Those who were before them plotted; but all plotting is Allah's. He knoweth that which each soul earneth. The disbelievers will come to know for whom will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home.



17:16 wa idhaa aradnaa an nuhlika qaryatan amarnaa mutrafiyhaa fa fasaquu fiyhaa fa Haq-qa 'Alayhal qawlu fa dam-marnaahaa tadmiyraa

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And when We will to destroy a township We send the commands to its prosperous people, thereupon they do not obey them, and so the Word is proved upon it - We therefore destroy and ruin it.

Yusuf Ali:
When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly.

Pickthal:
And when We would destroy a township We send commandment to its folk who live at ease, and afterward they commit abomination therein, and so the Word (of doom) hath effect for it, and we annihilate it with complete annihilation.

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
They wish to deceive Allah and the believers; and in fact they deceive none except themselves and they do not have any understanding.

Yusuf Ali:
Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!

Pickthal:
They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
The hypocrites will call out to the Muslims, "Were we not with you?"; they will answer, "Yes you were, why not? But you had put your souls into trial, and you used to await misfortune for the Muslims, and you doubted, and false hopes deceived you until Allah's command came - and the big cheat had made you conceited towards the command of Allah."

Yusuf Ali:
(Those without) will call out, "Were we not with you?" (The others) will reply, "True! but ye led yourselves into temptation; ye looked forward (to our ruin); ye doubted (Allah's Promise); and (your false) desires deceived you; until there issued the Command of Allah. And the Deceiver deceived you in respect of Allah.

Pickthal:
They will cry unto them (saying): Were we not with you? They will say: Yea, verily; but ye tempted one another, and hesitated, and doubted, and vain desires beguiled you till the ordinance of Allah came to pass; and the deceiver deceived you concerning Allah;

Verse 16

Ka mathalish shayTaani idh qaala lil Insaanikfur fa lammaa kafara qaala inniy bari-um minka inniy akhaafullaha rabbal 'Aalamiyn

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
The example of the devil - when he said to man "Disbelieve"; so when he has rejected faith, he says, "I am unconcerned with you - indeed I fear Allah, the Lord of The Creation."

Yusuf Ali:
(Their allies deceived them), like the Evil One, when he says to man, "Deny Allah": but when (man) denies Allah, (the Evil One) says, "I am free of thee: I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"

Pickthal:
(And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of the devil when he telleth man to disbelieve, then, when he disbelieveth saith: Lo! I am quit of thee. Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.


Planner

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And the disbelievers conspired (to kill Eisa ), and Allah covertly planned to destroy them; and Allah is the best of secret planners.

Yusuf Ali:
And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

Pickthal:
And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers.



7:99 a fa aminuu makral-laah* falaa ya’manu makral-laahi il-lal qawmul khaasiruun

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Are they oblivious to Allah’s secret plan? So none is unafraid of Allah’s secret plan except the people of ruin!

Yusuf Ali:
Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah?- but no one can feel secure from the Plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!

Pickthal:
Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish.


27:50 wa makaruu makraw wa makarnaa makraw wa hum laa yash'Uruun

Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
So they devised a scheme, and We made our secret plan, and they remained neglectful.

Yusuf Ali:
They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they perceived it not.

Pickthal:
So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not.


We do see that when Makr is used, it is to neutralize the evil intent or a way to debase.

When Khaadai is use it is used in such a way that afterall, Allah has made it plain that the deeds of evil doers will not go without repercussion.

davidylan is not o. o. idowu.

And Adam Brody; do you have a condition whereby you can be deemed violent against whom you act or react upon? Remember you just called yourself "former terror" above? I see that you like it because of your open laughter about it.

@Kola Oloye: Are you sure that the words "forgiveness" and "kindness" do not occur in the Qur'aan? They are the opposites of unforgiveness and cruelty. Or are they not? If I show these to you, aburo, you must then come come back to Al Islam. If my mother can enter Islam, so can you return to it.

@ adam brody:

Numbers 31:14-18 states that:

31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?  

31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.  

31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.        

31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

The one who gave instruction above is Moses. Further, we see that all he asked them to save among the conquered people are young and virgins, for "themselves!" I wonder what men will do with virgins whose tribal men are wiped out? I am making this observation because the people should now that the law of life and death in the Bible is stricter and more dire for the weak, if we objectively compare it to the Qur'aan.

COMPARED WITH

Quoran Surah 5:33, which says:

"The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom."

The Speaker here is Allah Himself. Muhammad has nothing to say about it. Yet, the allowance to show mercy is expressed as in "expelling them out of the land!" Then the instruction to serve the only befitting reward upon them; kill, or crucify, or cut hands and feet on alternative sides or expel them from the land, is restricted to those who make war upon Allah and His Messenger and their striving after corruption in the land. The punishment does not cover or hang over every person in the camp; aged, and disvirgined, non combatant, virgins or young. It is strictly on evil doers and those who support them out of freewill.

Who is the translator of the lexicology book, or source? Could it be an orientalist? Look, I aught to know Islam more than an orientalist, including John Esposito!

Islam is many generations in my blood. And I have practiced Islam for over 50 years! Now, Miim Kaf ra; is covering up, hiding the truth because of personal desire or arrogance or pride of speaking the truth. Makr does not appear anywhere is Miim Kaf Ra! Show it to us, if you know.

Ola ade gbu, can never pass for Ola bo wale! Oje man.

Sharia is ingrained in Nigerian constitution. Muslim communities across the nation practice Sharia, in different degrees. I remember when I was a little boy, the civil courts (The court of the natives) is for all intent and purposes amongst the Muslims is sharia court.

Unfortunately, it is the lack of knowledge and commitment and sincerity that has brought about an unnoticeable impact of this system on the community. For example, a society that allows a man to be unjust to his wife. And does not allow the woman to devorce this evil husband by simply returning his dowry. And the society which does nothing when a man has more than 4 wives at anytime. The impact of Sharia can not be noticed in such society.

And I have not spoken about, theift, adultery, and other ills including bad business dealings. How can Sharia be a benefit, unless the muslims themselves change! Where in Nigeria, I mean those who are presently practicing Sharia is the beauty of the system showing? All the lawlessness and the killing of the hudlooms, and petty thieves, an street thugs known as Almanjiri, who have soiled the beautiful name, Al Muhajirin, the first set of person who emigrated from Makka to Madina to escape persecution, are bow the people who are persecuting people in NIgeria.

Do these people know that Islam commands both religious and secular knowledge on the true worshippers? The burden of enacting of Sharia, isnot just a lip service. But a very heavy commitment. The Madina community under Muhammad (AS) should be the best example, because it has complete protection for every citizen, to do all that is good and progressive.

@Cayon:

I never cry in public and a lot of times in private either. If i do cry in private - its not the boo hoo crying, its the cuddle in bed watery eyes crying.

One time my father screamed at me and I cried (tears ran down my cheek). He did not apologized but said crying is a weakness and i am not to show weakness. My brother by father side said the same thing. Even an ex-coworker (Palestinian) said "i hate to see people cry"

Present

Now, i can't cry at funerals or anything that rightly deserves an emotion. Last Monday i cried internally, meaning i felt extreme emotions but no tears/watery eyes.

it bothers me because I want to cry but I can't. I feel bad because i think a child should be able to cry (death)for his/her father. Maybe i am afraid to cry because i don't want to be known as weak and i want to be strong for my father.

My other brother (same mother/father) just don't care our father is dead. Then my mother always saying "why can't yoiu be like your brother and that I am "heartless" like my father. You kidding me?? - heartless because i don't show emotions. Saying that, I always try to do the opposite of my mom's teachings just to hurt my mom's feelings.

The highlighted may lead someone to conclude as I have. I do not want your father to die. At least not until he sees your grandchildren having their own children. If he is not a muslim, I pray that he becomes a muslim, along with you and bring your mom along, too.

By the way do things that will please her, and not what will hurt her feelings. One is allowed to disobey parents only when they want you to disobey Allah The God Almighty. I think you are ready for Islam. Dont delay. Becoming muslim is something one should hasts to do. Others are Salah, marriage and burial of the dead. You should hurry to pay your creditors, too. You should also hurry to seek repentance.

Good night and Good luck

Sharia is Madina era. Makka era the muslims, worldwide, and especially the decadent Lagos State will have to go through. Muslims should pay attention to that era; it was a single and focused objective; Tawhid. This means that all the evil things have to be shed from the body, but specifically from the heart, since Allah looks at the heart.

When Muslims reach the Madina era in belief and deeds, and not just by lips, then Sharia will be a thing that will come naturally. Muslims all over the world will beholding on to the rope of Allah, all together, and will not be divided among itself.

The muslim will practice Sharia in their individual, family, community, societal, national and global lives. And no one else can do anything about it. For example, I do not receive interest or pay interest, in personal or business life. My associates then accept it and practice the same with me. Anyone knows that if i were it be parter with him/her, my rules which is from Islam has to be accepted by all decision makers along with me.

What you do with your own funds or operations that I do not have any part of, is your own lifestyle.

Become a muslim and get it over with. Just to be walking around the periphery is not a good thing for your soul. Maybe you may meet a muslim man who like exactly what you like; your match for a husband. Islam is not boring and it cuts across all tastes.

If you see my boys: Olayiwola and Oladunwo, both look like spitting image of Olabowale. There mother Omolola used to call them by my name. You see I was the only man in her life at the time I was married to the Lioness.

I pray that you do not embark on multi-husband lifestyle.

Is that how you want you children to know their father(s)?. Omo 9ja; Hello. This is a matter dispute. You against then men! Thats not good. The childen will hate your gut because, for at least in a short period, they will be fatherles or Papa maybe. That happens in the case of lose women. Don't sell your stocks that cheap.

Have you seen a woman, in the home country; Nigeria, who is married to more than 1 husband at a time? Even the christian woman, or the animist? If she is pregnant, while she has more than one husband, and each of them slept with her, just right before the pregnancy occurred. Who is the father of the baby? All of them? What if the one whose seed made her pregnant is not even ready for a baby yet? Think about that for a moment.

Unlike the case of a man who marries more than 1 wife; we know who the father of the expected baby from the wife's pregnancy is. My darling sister, you should not be interested in that type of greed, as to have more than 1 husband at the same time. Your children may never know who exactly, for sure is the real father among the husbands. Just imagine if the children look like you.

Allah the Almighty give everything its due just. And by the way, not every muslim man wants more than 1 wife. Some can handle it. And as to your issue of equality among the sexes; it is not precipitated on who is allowed to have more than 1 spouse at the same time.

The american women have a song: Anything you can do I can do better. In no place in the song do you hear the american women wanting to have more than 1 husband at a time. That place of sexuality, they leave for men.

I bet a woman who advocates for it will have a terrible label or name tag. Even no decent woman will support her on the issue of more than 1 husband at a time.

Muhammad (AS) is dead. While alive, he instructed his daughter, fatima (RA), to ask Allah alone. My girl, sex addiction like all addiction can be overcome, with prayers, dedications, and remembrance of allah. The fact that a person admits to a problem, the process of resolution begins.

As much as I love sex, and other things, I do not lose the focus what is higher. So I have relationship with the person (s) that are legally permissable for me to have it. My legal partner(s). Secondly, as a means of moderation, I engulf myself in what are also, almost as enjoyable.

If a person is addicted, he/she should try to control the addiction. I will not be playing music day and night, non stop, even though I enjoy music. Therefore, I make it a moderate thing, otherwise I see myself forgetting other aspect of what is good to do, also.

Become a muslim, first. Then we can micromanage your addiction.

Just be fully dressed when you take it. There must be muslims there, preferrably to witness your declaration. Its like marriage, you shouldn't do what I will call "its you and me marriage." People should be there to witness. Otherwise you may be accused of illicit behavior.

If no one sees you and the community does no that you have become muslims, when death comes, the issue of burial may actually be in dispute. A muslim must be a able to have someone at least to vauch for his/her revertion.

Do it in the public, instead of your bedroom. Thats my suggestion. Masjid is the best place of all. Your declaration is remembrance of Allah. Masjid is for three; Salah, Reading Qur'aan and remembrance of Allah. (Shahada tain is part of remembrance of Allah).

And in all of your years in Obodo america; you still manage not to severe your heart from 419, woman?

You got game, gurl! Yours is like "pay to play!" You seem to be a pal of Illinois's governor; Blagojevich! Gurl! Boi! lol. Haha. The simpsons.

@DaviDylan: « #77 on: Today at 05:30:21 PM »  

which would also mean Mohammad is a fake since we don't see his name anywhere in the quran no?

Alhaji, have a dose of sense.

Surah Muhammad is well Known Chapter in the Qur'aan. Surah Ahzab contains the name Muhammad. Surah Saff carries Ahmad whch is the other name Muhammad is also known. What are you talking about when you are talking about the "dose of sense?" I see. You never opened the Qur'aan before. No wonder.

David read the Qur'aan. If you have opened it up, you would have seen Allah, Malaika, Reveaed Books; Torah, Sabur, Injil, Qur'aan, Isa bin Mariam, Masiah, Muhammad, etc written about in positive light. Then you would have seen Trinity, death on the cross, ressurrection, etc written about as things never happened.

Read the Qur'aan (2 doses; pills for your soul and heart) and call me in the morning (When you are finished).

@Olaadegbu: « #9 on: Today at 05:48:59 PM »

@olabowale,

You can practice all the altaquiyya you want you cannot deceive me. We are aware if you must know that the Koran describes Allah as the best deceiver there is, a liar who is not above using the same evil and wicked schemes of his opponents. Before you start another Jihad lets see what your holy book says about Allah: The Koran calls Allah a makr, in fact the best makr there is:

I will now, InshaAllah expose your deceit. (If I was not born by a woman who is a former Christian and never went to Christian school and married to Christian woman, I would never have known enough about Christianity. Except what I hear from the outside. But thank Allah. My case is not exactly like yours when it comes to your knowledge of Islam).

But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)! S. 3:54; cf. 8:30

The meaning of Wa makaru wa makaruLlah. Wa Lahu khayrul makiriin. Wa is And. Makaru is plan or plot. Wa is And. MakaruLlah is Allah plans or plots. Wa is And. Lahu is Allah. Khayrul is best. Makiriin is Planners of Plotters. So what you have done is to substitute plot or plan for your owns device, a play on word which in this case "deceptive, deceivers!

So Olaadegbu your lying heart stinks because the verse means: And they plot and Allah plots. And Allah is the best of Plotters.

There are other places in the Koran that identifies Allah as a makr such as:

Makr is plot or plan. The word does not mean deceive. The word deceive in Arabic is khaada' (Verse 9 of Surah Baqarah will show you the word "deceive" in arabia and it is not Makr. Makr is plot or plan).

Are they then secure from Allah's deception (makra Allahi)? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme (makra Allahi) save folk that perish. S. 7:99 Pickthall

Plan is like the proper word here, because Islam believes that Allah is the Only One who no one can be secured from.

So they schemed a scheme: and We schemed a scheme (Wamakaroo makran wamakarna makran), while they perceived not. S. 27:50

Makr is plot or plan. Scheme or deceive is Khaada'

There are many passages in the Koran like these that teaches its adherents in the game of deception just as you see the propagators of the religion does. Who is deceiving who?

You are the deceiver, who is not telling the truth; Khaada'

Since I am a Yoruba boy, it is easy for me to call you Omo Yoruba. Oje man. (Thats ol school stuff).

Terrorism should not be practiced by Muslims. Just like Piracy, that is being practiced in Somalia's gulf of Aeden. Terrorists should not be muslims. Just like pirates. But we see injustices by many or many, going on.

Islam is never shy about what it means. Read Surah Mariam and learn about the truth and straight forwardness of this noble Book. For you to think that islam is deceiving your Christian mind is a thinking from the abyss of hypocracy. Islam does not state that muslims are the only innocent people and the rest is not.

Just like hypocracy in Islam is worse than disbelief which is not Islam, evil doers in Islam are worse than good doers who are not believers. The Islam should have bar away the believer from evil doing; like mass killing. There is no justification for indiscriminating killing.

Allah says revenge should not be more than the offence. But it could be less or could be forgiven and overlooked, completely!

This is not crusade or the other cluster bombing spree.

Just simply a sincere declaration, with your soul, heart and mouth (tongue ad lips) that there is no god saves The God (Allah) and Muhammad (AS) is is last Messenger. This declaration will shatter therefore the concept of any god along with The God.

If a christian makes this declaration, it means that he/she knows that Trinity is a farce and Jesus was only a human Messenger like Muhammad (AS to both).

If a Jew makes this declaration, it means that he/she knows that Salvation is not of the "Jews only" and therefore the acceptance of other human prophets and their messages. These other human messengers now include Jesus (AS), the last for the prophetic line of Isaac. And Muhammad (AS) the last of all Messengers.

If an Idol worshipper (Hindu, Buhddist, Ogun, Osun, and others, including agnostic and atheist) makes this declaration, it means that he/she knows that what used to be believed is now dead. The journey of reality of the Guidance of Allah the Almighty has taken hold. All form of beliefs have perished. Then the guidiing books are Qur'aan, Sunnah/ahadith, Sirah , etc. All of them Islamic.


Its better to make this declaration in front of witnesses. But just the declaration, will need a greater commitment. This commitment will include but not limited to a life changing qualities; learning how to pray and acquiring good manners, attending congregational prayers, making friends who are muslims so that you may be helped and be identified to better yourself islamically and as muslim, respectively.

Inshort, it will be hard, until it becomes easier. If you intend to become muslim, prepare yourself for a life changing experience. Before you make your declaration, look at your face. After the declaration, look at your face. You will see a more beautiful, fresher looking person looking back at you. This is a miracle of itself. Everytime I make salah, I look at the faces of those who participated. I see, always fresher, more radient, cleaner and calmer person.

Its as if there is light over the face. Truly there is light of believing prayerfulness on the believers.
