Doing good and having the right belief go hand in hand in Islam. In fact, doing good in practice is the proof of having the right belief in the heart. This is why the Holy Quran speaks of true Muslims very often as "those who believe and do good deedsp". Both the Quran words of Allah and the Prophet (SAW) have told Muslims that the best among them is that person who shows the best behaviour towards other people.

Although we cannot be perfect but we should strive to always adopt good behaviours expected from a muslim .The key to this is self awareness, constant reflection, and to reassess ourselves.

Below are the qualities in the words of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( SAW) qualities a Muslim should display:

1. Truthfulness:

"O you who believe! keep your duty to Allah and speak straight, true words." (Holy Quran 33:70)

"O you who believe, keep your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful people." (9:119)

"Be maintainers of justice and bearers of true witness for Allah, even if it (the truth) goes against your own selves or parents or relatives or someone who is rich or poor." (4:135)

2. Sincerity:

"Serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience." (39:2)

"It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that you say things which you do not do." (61:3)

"Woe to those who pray but are unmindful of their prayers, who do good to be seen." (107:4-6)

3. Unselfishness:

"You cannot attain to righteousness unless you spend (in charity) out of those things which you love." (3:91)

"They (the true believers) give food, out of love for Allah, to the poor, the orphan and the slave, saying: We feed you only for Allah's pleasure - we desire from you neither reward nor thanks." (76:8-9)

"Do no favour seeking gain." (74:6)

4. Humility:

"The servants of the Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility." (25:63)

"Do not turn your face away from people in contempt, nor go about in the land exultingly." (31:18)

"Do not ascribe purity to yourselves. Allah knows best who is righteous." (53:32)

5. Patience:

"Allah loves those who are patient." (3:145)

"Give good news to the patient, who, when a misfortune befalls them, say: We are Allah's and to Him do we return." (2:155-156)

6. Forgiveness:

"Pardon (people) and overlook (their faults). Don't you love that Allah should forgive you." (24:22)

"(The dutiful are) . . . those who restrain their anger and pardon people. Allah loves those who do good to others." (3:134)

"Whenever they (true believers) are angry they forgive." (42:37)

"The recompense of evil is punishment like it. But whoever forgives (an evil committed against himself) and amends (matters), his reward is with Allah. . . . Whoever is patient and forgives, that is a matter of great resolution." (42:40, 43)

When the Holy Prophet Muhammad defeated his enemies in Makka and returned to that city as its conqueror, he forgave them in the following words:

"No reproof be against you this day; Allah may forgive you, and He is the most Merciful of those who show mercy." (12:92)

7. Purity and cleanliness:

"He indeed is successful who purifies himself (in mind and body), and remembers the name of his Lord, then prays." (87:14-15)

"Purify your garments and shun uncleanness." (74:4-5)

8. Honesty:

"Don't go near the property of an orphan, except in a goodly way, till he attains maturity. And fulfil the promise (you make) . . .. Give full measure when you measure out, and weigh with a true balance." (17:34-35)

"Do not swallow up your property among yourselves by false means, nor offer it as a bribe to the officials so that you may swallow up other people's property unlawfully while you know." (2:188)

9. Goodness and kindness to others:

"Allah commands you to uphold justice and to do good to others and to give to the relatives." (16:90)

Three degrees of doing good are mentioned here: "justice," which means returning any good that someone has done you with equal good; "do good to others," which means taking the initiative in doing good to others; and "give to the relatives," which means doing good to people instinctively and naturally just as one does good to one's close relatives.

"Do good to others, surely Allah loves those who do good to others." (2:195)

10. Consideration and respect for others:

"O you who believe! do not enter houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted the inmates . . . and if it is said to you, 'Go back', then go back." (24:27-28)

"O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion (against others), for surely suspicion in some cases is sin; and do not spy (into other people's affairs), nor let some of you backbite others." (49:12)

"When you are greeted with a greeting, greet with one better than it, or return it (in the same terms at least)." (4:86)

11. Courage:

Speaking of a small number of Muslims facing a big and powerful enemy, the Quran relates:

"Those to whom men said: people have gathered against you, so fear them; but this increased their faith, and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and He is an excellent Guardian." (3:173)

12. Moderation:

"Eat and drink, but do not be immoderate." (7:31)

"Do not chain your hand to your neck (so that you are mean in spending), nor stretch it out to the utmost limit (so that you waste everything)." (17:29)

Regarding the performance of religious duties, the Holy Prophet has given the following advice:

"Religion is easy, but any one who exerts himself too much in religious devotions will get overcome by it; so you should just act rightly, and keep to the mean, and be of good cheer, and ask for Allah's help morning, evening, and a part of the night." (Bukhari.)

13. Cheerfulness:

"Be of good cheer." (Holy Prophet in Bukhari.)

"It is an act of charity to meet your fellow with a cheerful face." (Holy Prophet in Mishkat.)

Finally, we give a verse of the Holy Quran mentioning a number of qualities a Muslim, man or woman, should try to acquire:

"The truthful men and the truthful women, the patient men and the patient women, the humble men and the humble women, the charitable men and the charitable women, the fasting men and the fasting women, the men who guard their chastity and the women who guard their chastity, the men who remember Allah much and the women who remember Allah much - for all these Allah has prepared forgiveitness and a great reward." (33:35.

muhammed accused the christians and Jews of something they no nothing about, this make him a liar, were did he get the idea that christians and Jews worship in dead prophet tomb ?

Christianity is not a religion, God created man and man invent religion. The apostles never call themselves christians , they call themselves "brethren","disciples", "apostles", "servants","believers", "followers", "the faithful", "the elect", "the called", and "saints."

It was the pagan who first call the apostles christians because the apostles do not follow the commercial world of the pagan, The substance is not in the word "Christian", the substance is in the heart of the man it is attempting to describe, and which the pagan user cannot see.

When you commit an atrocity and you want your wife to witness to your innocence. Who doesn't know that even a mad man will clear a bush towards himself. You don't try to use the Bible as your point when presenting a case of your defense. We don't believe a chunk of it.

God prevented xtians from being enticed to performing pilgrimage, then what do they go to do in Jerusalem? You and your priests bow to the picture and cross, what kind of worship is that called?

Visiting the grave of the prophet is not mandatory and no act of worship is performed in the process. It is as a lesson to instill the fact that he was a prophet and still died. To teach us the inevitability of death. And we also do so because he recommended it for us and we may be rewarded by heeding to the recommendations of the Holy prophet.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8,
Number 427:
Narrated ‘Aisha and ‘Abdullah bin
‘Abbas: When the last moment of
the life of Allah’s Apostle came he
started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his
face and when he felt hot and short
of breath he took it off his face and
said , “May Allah CURSE the Jews and
Christians for THEY BUILT THE PLACES OF WORSHIP AT THE GRAVES OF THEIR PROPHET .”

even in his dying breath, uttered curses. Please recall Muhammad’s reason for cursing the Jews and the Christians. He said, “FOR THEY BUILT THE PLACES OF WORSHIP AT THE GRAVES OF THEIR PROPHET .” We will now address this accusation of Muhammad. We will look at the facts recorded in the Bible.

Moses and Jesus ,they are very important to the Jews, Moses to Judaism and Jesus to Christianity. As stated in Deuteronomy 34:5-6, God himself buried Moses to an undisclosed place and to Jesus,God removed His body. committing. Meaning it prevented both christians and Jews from being enticed to make pilgrimages or pay homage to such sites. It protected them from creature-worship. In contrast, what did the Muslims do with Muhammad’s tomb after his death? Muslims built a mosque on his tomb. His grave became a place for Muslim pilgrims to visit in Medina annually. The Prophet’s tomb at Medina is, after Mecca, the site most venerated by Muslims. It is visited with reverence in the hearts of the faithful. Ironically, these Muslims fell into the very class of people, upon whom Muhammad beseeched Allah’s curse.

Unlike Jehovah, Allah did not have the
wisdom or the insight to prevent the
causes that could lead to creature-
worship among his worshippers.

The 12th century work by Qadi Iyad is
highly accepted throughout the Muslim
world. Al-Qadi Iyadibn Musa al-Yahsubi
(1083 C.E.-1149 C.E.) wrote in his book
Al-Shifa’:

“Visiting his grave is part of the Sunna
and is both excellent and desirable.
Ibn `Umar said that the Prophet said,
‘My shafa’at (intercession on the
Day of Qiyamah) is Waajib
(incumbent upon me to intercede)
FOR THE ONE WHO VISIT MY GRAVE.’”

is the hadith fabricated ? Bring proof of this accusations made by muhammed. You don't have to bear witness against me, Jesus is my witness.

op you try gan.. Although the things you listed here can increase the yard of your wife material, it doesn't guarantee that he will popup the big question. To me, as far as she is faithful and loyal to me, that is she will never think of giving the cookies to any man even if I travel far far away to Zamumndi kingdom, and she's submissive (not like all these feminists) then she's next rated on my list.


one thing I will advise men is never to be in a hurry to get married. even if she's an angel, put her to the test for at least six months. Never rush into marriage.

Here are some of the grisly passages from the Koran: "Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them." Koran 2:191 "Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." Koran 9:123 "When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." Koran 9:5 "Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." Koran 3:85 "The Jews and the Christians are perverts fight them."... Koran 9:30 "Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" Koran 5:33 "Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water melt their skin and bellies." Koran 22:19 "The unbelievers are stupid urge the Muslims to fight them." Koran 8:65 "Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." Koran 3:28 "Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an." Koran 8:12 "Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." Koran 8:60

OK so the thing is i just need advice and not criticism as i get quite a lot of it already.

I have been with a great guy for 2 and half years and he is probably the only best thing that has happened to me so far.

The problem is i just keep messing things up, its like we get over one problem then i create another. We recently moved in together (2months ago) and since then we just constantly argue about silly little things. Sometimes i think he takes things to seriously. I know he likes things a certain way but since moving in we just can not seem to get along. My biggest problem is i can not be open with him. I have lied to him numerous times about work, everything. The thing is he always catches me out when i do not tell him the truth and most of the time i know that he will find out one way or the other.

He is such a great guy, has been there for me through so much from helping me get into work encouraging me when am down etc. Now i got laid off work just because of one of my problems ( i can not seem to keep job either) I did not tell him for weeks until he found out. Now it has literally messed things up. Even though he is not mad with me if anything he just wishes i can talk to him whenever i am having problems. Now i have totally lost hes trust/respect and i do not know how to even get past this. I feel terrible and unworthy of his love. I feel that he now just pittys me and does not see a future together as we have planned so much but i just have ruined everything.

I do not want to loose this man and i just need advice on how i can get past it and gain his respect/trust.


PS- Any negative comments keep them to your selves, am only interested in serious advice



Thanks LULU

I have some overly generous friends, but I also have a few stingy friends, stingy with their money, their food, you name it !

I have a very close friend who cannot give the same sex N500 but can squander 5k on a random lady. Sometimes, when he sees me dying of hunger, he care less but reverse is the case when a lady tells him she's hungry, you see him running helter skelter like a messiah. This really looks weird but we have people of such as friends, neighbours, course mates and so on

Being stingy to the same sex isn't the best attribute if you ask me. So do you have any stingy friends who take their selfishness to a whole other level?

If so, share your encounter and how you react to their behavior ?

MisterLongman: This technique has a 50-50 chance because the lady might feel offended by your comment......... If she is hot-tempered with a bad mouth, omo na die you dey....... You need to study her before playing this prank on her
