not knee brother, ankle "kokose" and its a must.

Will try, but the mockery will always b there,
Wallaha Allah

lexiconkabir:
about trousers, it should be worn above the ankles, and as for rosary, according to shaykh ibn uthaymeen(which is the view i favour), it is not haraam to use rosary as there is evidence in the sunnah that the sahabas used pebbles for counting just like how the rosary is used for counting, but, it is safer and better to use your hands as this was the sunnah of Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).

and Allaah knows best.

I know it should be above the knee, but how compulsory is it?

A scholar once came to my mosque one day and I noticed he place something on the floor which is a compass when it was time for asri, instead of him to face the kibla which the congregation where facing he did not but turned to where his compass was pointing to.
Then I begin to ask my self his is compass more accurate than the kibla we facing?, is he the only one practising the right Islam or he is just involving his own innovation in Islam? Is it that the people that built the mosque are ignorant of the rightful place the kibla is facing?
So house what your view on this, using compass to determine the kibla in a already built musjid, is it the best?

lexiconkabir:
yes, not all sunnah ia compulsory, we have sunnah that are waajib(obligatory) and the ones that are mustahab(recommended), but shaving of the beards is part of the sunnah that is waajib, praying tahajjud is one of the sunnah that is mustahab, so to know about the sunnahs that are mustahab or waajib, you have to ask.

I also started keeping beards early this year, and i must tell you, it wasnt easy (and its still not easy) because i get mocked and bullied at times, although I'm used to it.




don't just ask anybody that calls himself a scholar, ask the ones upon the sunnah, so whoever is giving answers should bring his evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, if it doesn't go with those two, drop it, if it does accept it.....

note: these scholars must interpret those texts according to the way the sahabas, the students of the sahabas and the students of the students of the sahabas, the way they understood the texts, in short from, the way the salafs understood the text.

OK tnkz.... But what your take on trouser and rosary.

lexiconkabir:
If that hadith isn't clear enough, then all i can say is, enjoy! The prophet said follow my sunnah and the sunnah of my rightly guided khalifahs, Umar ibn khattab do not take the report(without investigating) of someone who shave his beards, you know why? He sees them as faasiqs(sinners) and the directive of the Qur'an is to investigate a report that a faasiq bring, implying shaving of the beard is fusuq(disobedience).





The shareeah text of Islam is the Qur'an and the sunnah, not just the Qur'an, the prophet said he was given the Qur'an and something similar to it(i.e the sunnah), so if he makes anything halaal of haraam, its like Allaah making it haraam or halaal. The prophet said keeping the beard is part of a fitrah of a man.


What is fitrah? fitrah are things that when done, it makes one into the natural pattern on which Allaah made mankind and urged them to follow. So you want to leave your fitrah and look like a woman? The messenger cursed men that tries to look like a woman, by shaving your beards, you are changing your face to that of a woman.

Take heed! And no I'm not forcing you, if you like listen, if you like don't, mine is to convey the message, if you don't want to keep your beards, its none of my business, it becomes my business when you try to say "I hate the beards naturally" and "the beards is not a mandatory sunnah".

I had a mentality that follow of the sunnah is not compulsory, although all of them has their reward, also their are compulsory one and non compulsory ones, I was made to believe that their are some sunnah you follows depending on your heart desires.
Also ideas of different Scholars with different saying of Islam made me stop making enquire to some level e.g when I said about keeping tebleek(trouser above the knee) and if using tesbri(Islamic rosary) is bidah, most of their answers contradict each other.
But I understand the point you proving.

RABIUSHILE04:
Hadith from rasullullaah that if a slave believes in Allaah, ie if he/she has an atom of iman in him will enter jannah, dat is sure. But that doesn't mean if Allaah won't punish a slave for his/her deed that he committed, if He wishes, but these punishments will be temporary unlike the mushrikoon/kuffar and munafiqoon/hypocrites which will be permanent, may Allaah not count us among them, ameen. There are muslims who engage in sins like zina, theft, backbiting etc and die upon it, it is up to allaah to punish or not!
You saying that you hate keeping beard and you're a practicing muslim is illogical here, bcuz there were people during the lifetime of rasullullah who were good in Quran recitation, who fought wars with him, who gave in charity abundantly but were munafiqoon(hypocrites) bcuz their intention wasn't pure, the mu'min back den did not knw abt dis except wen wahy/revelations comes down abt dem(hypocrites). Been a praciticing muslims is following the Qur'an wa sunnah,"[obey allaah and obey the rasul 'atihullahu wa 'atihu rasul"].
Also, u claim to hate keeping beard,(this is a statement that can lead to kufr o), but if one of those FILTHY, WORTHLESS, celebrities that you might like starts keeping beards, or starts wearing trousers above the ankle you will suddenly LOVE to keep beard or wear trousers above, be careful of falling into 'nifaq'/hypocrisy without knowing. Lemme leave u wif this:



"The last and best of the Messengers,
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him), let his beard grow, as did the
caliphs who came after him, and his
companions and the leaders and common
folk of the Muslims in all but the most
recent period, when many of them have
gone against the way of their Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and
their righteous predecessors (may Allaah be
pleased with them). But this is the way of
the Prophets and Messengers and their
followers, and it is part of the fitrah with
which Allaah created people, as is proven in
Saheeh Muslim. Hence the correct view is
that it is haraam to shave it, as was the view
favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah
(may Allaah have mercy on him), because of
the command of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) to let it
grow."

Am not talking about celebrities here, am talking about myself.... U don't even know me, how sure are u that I even follow any of them, I am more of keeping to myself.
Following of the sunnah is not that easy, it depends greatly on the level of your eeman, so when next you trying to convince someone you try to be more logical or see from the person's point of view.

I understand u, jazakumllah aikran, sorry if I sound rude.

AideeSheks:
Asalam alaykum brother. I would like to implore you to please do an honest research on this issue. Go and look for what the scholars of islam have said regarding this and understand the proofs and logic they have given. I agree with all lexiconkabir has told you and if you're not yet convinced, you're free to look up on this more. The truth isn't hard to see, it just depends on whether we choose to acknowledge it or stay in denial.
Remember this dunya is a testing ground for us all, we weren't created to live by our own whims and desires. I understand that it appears hard at times when we have to leave some of the things we've gotten accustomed to just for the sake of pleasing Allah. Yes, it's never meant to be easy but I assure you that it is well worth it at the end of it all.
May Allah guide you brother.

OK tnkz will do that

lexiconkabir:
Actually it is mandatory and a must you keep it.

The prophet said; “Be different from the polytheists: let your beards grow and pluck your moustaches.”

And you said its not obligatory?

What's your proof that its not obligatory?

The prophet said be different from the polyteist did he say keeping beards will differentiate you from them don't we have Non Muslims that keep beards, moreover the Quran does not compulsion the keeping of beards, it is sunnah, you will have reward if you do so... But you don't have to force me to accept you ideology, that is been selfish.

Seun:
Why must you participate in shady businesses in the first place? If you're worried that they are not acceptable to God, don't participate in them!

Exactly

lexiconkabir:
you dare not speak ill of his sunnah but you just said you hate the beard,

islam is not a religion where just anyone can give his/her opinion, THIS IS THE DEEN OF ALLAAH!

Entering jannah cannot be decided by me, but by Allaah, Allaah is the most merciful and he forgives whom he wills, just follow Allaah and his messenger, and his messenger said we should, let the beard grow and pluck the moustache, if you don't do so, its a sin, and sins are capable of taking one to hell!

So are you saying it a must I keep beards,
I am not against keeping it, infact I encourage people to do it because it is sunnah, but I don't like it as an individual.... Moreover, keeping of beards as a sunnah is not mandatory.

lexiconkabir:
you hate THE SUNNAH OF MUHAMMAD (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam)? if you can't do the sunnah of growing the beard(which is a sin by-the-way), do not speak ill of it as it might cause problems for you, the statement is a kufr statement, be careful of what you say.

I don't have the privilege of speaking ill of roosul infact, I dare not. Am only giving my personal view of it... I don't like keeping beard SO DOES THAT MEANS AM NOT A MUSLIM OR I WONT ENTER JANNAH

RABIUSHILE04:
Akhee, must you work in a riba based b4 one can feed his family? There are other jobs to do asides that, the problem is the western mentality that a whole meee, graduate working in a pure water company, for instance..igberaga oshi dat is doin us ni. Also you forget that only Allaah provides sustenance not ur working o, if one can seat down and think, and calculate his/her expense in a month and check with his salary, u wil be suprised aw allaah has been merciful! Also, he myt be working in this so called riba based bank and still not be able to feed his wife and kids, this wan na CONFIRM .


Yes he should resign, according to the sharia. Also, majority of muslims do not know the harms of riba, to the extent that Allaah proclaimed war on those who engage in riba; ie the one collecting(cashier, guarantor(ee), etc), one witnessing, one giving, one writing for them, even the one guarding dem(gateman) etc! Did you know riba is worse than zina for like 36 times more, in d sight of Allaah?! Also, did you know eating haram also cause duas not to be answered? Did u know eating haram leads to Allaahs anger? Did you know riba is the major cause of the worlds problem, wen it comes to the millions on the streets esp in the west( US, UK etc) ie buy a aws wif a loan of 50k, and dey say b4 the end of 3 years u wil be paying 80k..and u will first pay the 30k first ooo..and if one is unfortunate, he's not able to pay afta 3 yrs, more interest dey climb am, until, u won't be able to keep up wif d house and sell it to dem..dat is aw de do wif billions of ppl wif dem, No matter wat dem no fit lose!!! This issue of riba is an extensive one oo! Also, the current fitnah we r facing in Nigeria now, majority of it is caused by riba!

#culled
In a nutshell, Riba is forbidden because of the harmful
effects that result from it, such as:
Economic effects, e.g., keeping money idle
and unproductive, and swelling the ranks of
the poor;
Social effects, e.g., cutting ties, creating
enmity and hatred between the poor and
the rich, and spreading corruption and
promiscuity caused by need;
Psychological and spiritual effects, e.g.,
arrogance, looking down on others, hard-
heartedness and exploiting the needs of the
poor.
The above describes the effects of Riba on
the individual level. On the state level,
countries are weakened, their resources fall
under the control of others, they end up
following their enemies’ desires, they are
robbed of their natural wealth and their
problems get even worse. This is what we
see happening in reality. We ask Allaah to
keep us safe and sound..


Allaahu musta'an.

OK then but what about MMM

Rexhenrex:
haha...you know right i can't be constantly calling and texting a girl caise she looks good i look good too ....lol

Na so bro

I have asked and he said it' s work stress. I've gotten the advice I think is suitable. Thanks very much

Dezolo:
Hi all, I got married few months ago and it has been okay by God's grace, I've known hubby for a long time, we dated right from our university days. But few days ago, I have been feeling uneasy, so I slept off and the food got burnt, that was the only cooked food at home, and hubby came back very late and hungry, I saw his missed calls when I woke up to the smell of burnt food. He came back just in time to perceive the burning food. I've apologized and he said okay, he slept without food that night because it was very late. Since that day, he has been hostile, always moody and it has not been easy at home, he picks offence at every little thing. I'm very tired. Please how do I go about this?

From what you have said I don't think the burnt food is the issue here, their is another thing that is making him angry at you... He is your husband, you should know him better than any one
But am sure he is not picking offence from the burnt food(according to what you said)

Omonigeriarere:
I doubt it if you have really met the love of your life: she will even call you as if she dey work with MTN. Another point to note is that if you are too predictable, you will loose your value in the face of ladies.

God bless my bae.

TrapQueen77:
same with the men….i believe that theres no relationship if theres no communication…some men out there are playing hard to get as well…i once dated a man who likes me to call him all the time…and when he is mad of something, he will pour his anger on me, screaming on the phone and cut the call for no reason...

A man that act like that is immature. I know it is expected of a man to call a Lady but situation whereby she doesn't even call or care, the relationship start been a burden on the other partner. That the point am trying to prove.

Rexhenrex:
Its because they feel they are too fine na....bae hardly calls upon i call atleast every evening worst of all she walked up to me,as if thats not enough she will see me online and wait for me to msg first if i msg then we will chat if i don't then we won't, after a month i calculated the whole thing mehn i just made her a side chick when ever am bored i just remember her.....the main one can call and it shows she care,ladies call ur b.f or someone else will do it for u.

Exactly, have dumped quite a number of girls because of this simple act, they have this mentality that a guy should always be the one worshipping them

TrapQueen77:
I hate when I call my boo and ignoring my call

But you know that you ladies are fond of this act more than guys?
Quite a number of you believe that a guy should worship you, when he does not call you everyday, then he does not love you. This was the reason I decided never to call a girl yesterday, have called her like 50 times all she does is flashing what kind of attitude is that?
Moreover my father is not the owner of go, and it a relationship, it suppose to be a give and take thing, love is suppose to be shared equally

ndcide:
I've always dump ladies who don't reciprocate. Maybe because I'm not the emotional type. I remember spending thousands of naira calling a lady, when I evaluated the thing, I stopped. I remember going on outing with a lady, even when we got to our various homes, I had to be the one to call. I was like, we went on an outing, expense on me. i ensured you got home, then I left for my home and still had to be the first to call. Not even a thank you call. in fact, the thank you came when I called .

I say no be jazz. Dumped her like a bad habit shap shap.


No time. for wasted efforts.

Lolz

RadicallyBlunt:
My dear especially Nigerian girls. Their brains seem to be wired with same cable.

For sometime now a female whatsapp friend of mine(we've never met b4) told me how she's been liking and having facial contact with a guy but d guy isn't making any advancement. So I encouraged her to be bold and talk to him respectfully, he should be mature enough to understand. So she went to meet him yesterday. She said she was under tension Bcus she's so damn scared of rejection. In my mind I said "hmm now u know how guys feel when they walk up to a girl they like so much and all she says with her blatant mouth is 'I'm not interested".

But she was lucky d guy is mature and accepted her friendship. But to my surprise when I asked today that how is your flow with your new found guy? She said "l purposely refused to see him or call him today and didnt pick his calls so that he'll miss me". And I was like WHAT! Someone u just met yesterday... Don't you think its too early for emotional frustrations

So this is my conclusion.... Anything that has to do with giving... Whether gifts, love, complements, feelings, women have no understanding about it. But they know everythimg about receiving money, gifts, complements, feelings etc. They are always on the receiving side not on the giving side. And if they ever be on d giving side for once, they'll demand for so much in return like it was never free just like this lady I described... Demanding for attention just in less than 24hrz after expressing a feeling to someone

What a life!

Ummmm, same experience with one of my friend.

lexiconkabir:
Oh! The loan has no interest, that's why it's called non interest banking in the first place, just go to the bank first sha(preferably jaiz first).

OK, will try tnkz

[quote author=MDsambo post=50465649][/quote]Keeping of beard in Islam is sunnah, it not mandatory. So don't make a big deal out of it
I don't keep beard infact I hate it naturally and I am a practicing Muslim, does that means I won't enter jannah?

lexiconkabir:
As per opening of account, I don't know much about that, as I don't have an account with any of them, maybe you can go to any of these banks and make enquiry.

I only got to know about jaiz by an economics lecturer which happens to be the first NIB that came to Nigeria around 2003/2004 and stanbic ibtc through their advert on TV.

OK, but what about the loan question does it operate on interest.... Because if it does then their is no different between it and other Nigerian banks(they also don't operate on interest just by depositing with them).

Have dated quite a number of girls(also have friends that have experienced the same) and I noticed this trait among females generally, they are fond of expecting the guy to always be the one to be calling always when you try to ask why they don't call, they give reason like they out of card or any lame reason
It a relationship not a death sentence, I think the love should be equal between male and female... You know we guys also want to be appreciated.
So guys in the house what your say on these?

lexiconkabir:
Stambic ibtc bank and jaiz bank.

When I want to open account for non profit which type of account will I demand for? Also loan access in this banks you mentioned is their interest
Tnkz again, you very resourceful.

I don't think so, especially when all countries(that I know) has non interest banking in their system.

And Allaah knows best.

Let take d Nigeria banking sector as an example since they use interest, if we have a Muslim brother that works with them with no other ends to feed his wife and children, do u expect him to resign?
I think taking or giving riba depend on the situation you find yourself although Islam does not support it so I have to try as much as possible also to avoid it but their are situation whereby you have no other choice but to get involve in it
Wallah Allah
