I Pity this man and iran government. Iran economy will enter recession in matter of days and weeks

Iran has been under sanctions since the "nuclear" issue. It does not hit much on their economy because they produce their own things. So their currency can go low against the dollar as it wants

obedience4:
A drone from Iran to isreal will take two hours,
Enough time for the iron dome to track and kill

Good luck IDF

You think the drones are 2 hours apart right?
Iron dome "track and kill" when it's within its perimeter. As long as it is concerned, it does not know anything yet.

"Enough time for the iron dome"
makes it like you made it human readying for something.

They thought everyone is dumb.

I will be waiting for the transport fee by these buses. It's an electric vehicle right? I will be waiting for "the fee is high because it moves slower" or "maintainance is more expensive" as an excuse. Both excuses are invalid.

I try my best to believe stories like this. Not that they are not possible, but the way they are presented. You really think a woman who cheated or cheats have this long time to type all of this? She can go to this detailed level? What is her gain for going this detailed? She also has this much time to type with no typos or may be someone else did the typing. Sure she can tell this secret to someone. But having this much time to relay all of this may not be believable. This may be the work of someone who is given to entertain people for some gains perhaps, or at best someone who has made a short secret more sensational. I don't think a married cheating woman have this luxury of time on her escapade unless she is paid or maybe she is not cheating. I do not see her gain writing it. She could not even start or end with things like "I am confused, I need your help, etc" to make it more believable. And if she thinks we do not need her help to solve this, then why did she write this?

JJC Skillz Returns To Islam After His Marriage To Funke Akindele Crashed

Clearly, the media still has a powerful grip on people's mind. The original poster could just have said "JJC Skillz Returns To Islam", but he chose something else. This wasn't random. He made the post appear like his conversion has a link with Funke Akindele crashed marriage.
I could not find anywhere in JJC Skillz post suggesting that he returned to Islam because of the reasons people cited here. Do you know that if the post was "JJC Skillz Returns To Islam After visiting Turkey", the derogatory statements here would be something like, "Them done give am jazz for there", "them done promise am 72 virgins", etc. And that would be outside of his crashed marriage. Unfortunately, not many people noticed this. I see hundreds of likes and shares on comments and are considered "smart" or "good". People have not become smarter and I sometimes think people chose to become foolish just to spite you. It is saddening. How can people not notice that they are being used and be smart?

SultanOfPuna:


Why Allah No save them?

I think by now you should know that Muslims don't expect miracles. They would rather say words like

who, when calamity befalls them, say, "Verily, unto God do we belong and, verily, unto Him we shall return."
al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:156

Imagine you are traveling From New ZEALAND to USA

You will leave NZD in 2023 and land USA in 2022.

What a backward journey!

Maybe, or maybe not? Time will not pause in the USA. While in the air, they may have gained time to reach the new year.
It is based on the speed of airplane.

Sepviour:
But I thought it's Samoa that is always the first to enter the new year

Countries in the same latitude share the same time zone. So, it's not only them.

Sepviour:

A whole 13 hours difference

I doubt though. The most they can be is +12 GMT. And Nigeria is +1 GMT. I think it's 11 hours difference

ThompsonJoo:


I guess they uses +13 GMT

Is there "+13 GMT"? I think there can only be -12 GMT and +12 GMT

These people no dey finish?

Starzo:

Na you bring 'religion' enter the discussion


I just completed it

Perhaps you should read again and with a less diluted mind this time. My post was about we Africans having this thought of "what will be will be" or "it's God that protects" disposition. I know for sure that there is work and pray in the bible. I can however reference from a book that I know well. It's an African problem.

How can this be offensive? Is there anyone whose relative or beloved God can not take?

So what's your point exactly?

Starzo:

Your religion also teaches people to blow up themselves in the hope of getting 72 virgins in paradise,so?...

You are not smart and I am not like you. Of all that I posted, this is what you could come up with. What has my post got to do with blowing up?

The way we think differently amazes me. Someone came up with pictures of better ways things could have been done, and people could only retrogressively object to it. They did not even suggest anything that is better if they think this is not good enough.

Are you saying the chances of getting drowned in a pool that is covered is the same chance as with a pool that is not covered?
Why has Africa always been backward and retrogressive in thinking?

One would not expect people who use this platform or use the internet to think like this. What then would be the case of average market men and women who may be ignorant of a lot of things?
If this happened in Europe or America, and they have a forum like this, they would likely be discussing why he did not get his pool covered when he has a child at home. But here we are in Africa. It's is different, all just from the comments of people here. What is more shocking to me is the high number of "likes" you get from such comments. It makes me feel like I am the the crazy one here. But if really I am the crazy one, I would prefer to be crazy in the eyes of people who hold such thinking. And yet you people have internet. It's a shame to the 21st century.

Aren't the whites Christians too? Yes people in houses of those pictures. But they didn't wait for God to do what a man can do. In fact, if God loves you, he would give you knowledge so it will occur to you to cover your pool because of the danger. But if he does not love you, he would let you wallow in your ignorance and let you expect him to save you from such danger from up there where he is.

In my own religion, we are told to tie our camel and then put our trust in God. Let me relate to you.

One day Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it.
He asked the Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?”
The Bedouin answered, “I placed my trust in Allah.”
At that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Tie your camel and place your trust in Allah” (Tirmidhi)

That's a good balance between faith and reality.
Even with that sef, they still fit steal am. But you still just have to do what you can to ensure it.

But if we think all these are still nonsense. We can as well then leave the doors of our house open. After all, what will happen will happen. We also may not have to use passwords for our accounts because we still get hacked anyways. We may even go national. We wont be needing the police anymore. we spend too much on security and yes there are still attacks.
It's then we will appreciate numbers.
No one said it's secure 100%. But not doing anything to secure more is pure foolishness.

And kudo to those who gave different other ways. People who think they wont construct a pool in their house are even way smarter than those saying it's God that protects or that what would be would be.

A risk we may have to take and allow. Perhaps if China takes part in Nigeria's affairs, they will be able to deal with what we could not achieve all this while. Let them handle electricity and economy too. We would learn from them how they could handle a multicultural society like ours plagued with corruption, insecurity, and etc. Let's see what they can do.

Ojuntana:

It doesn't matter whether they are two or three. What I showed about the faulty synopsis of the Quran is the fact that there are so many prophets with messages but only four have distinct messages.

I must first point out that Quranic accounts of most of these persons differs very significantly from Biblical accounts. While the Bible agrees that Noah preached to his people about the impending destruction, it does not say he was sent by God. As a matter of fact, God had already made up His mind to destroy these people. Your Quran also seems to say Abraham preached to Lot. It is not so in the Bible because Lot actually did not partake in the sins of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. His fault was condoning them and that was why he was not marked for destruction along with them. As I told you before, Abraham was not sent with a message to anyone according to Biblical accounts. Instead God developed a personal relationship with him which took him out of his paternal land to a foreign land for his offsprings to inherit according to God. Note that, Abraham was not a depiction of a prophet according to Biblical standards. Nevertheless, he was a man with a covenant with God. Those are two distinct things. A covenant usually comes after a sacrifice or acceptable worship to God. Abraham's came after he obeyed God in sacrificing Isaac. Noah's also came after he built the first altar to God after the flood. Those covenants are significant because from them came a definite boundary of relationship between God and man that exists even till this day. For example, Adam; be fruitful and multiply. Noah; I will no longer destroy the earth by water.

Now, I usually wonder why we should accept Quranic accounts of the patriarchs of the Jews given by an Arab over that of the Torah which was written by a Jew. Does a stranger tell a people's story to them? Can a Briton tell the Yoruba their history? Or the Chinese tell the Igbo their history? I believe very strongly that the Quranic accounts are best taken with a pinch of salt at best.

I also find it interesting you think God needs to be justified before he can judge others. I thought the Quran depicts humans as God's slaves. How does a master justify his actions to his slaves? Does he even need to warn his slaves? He can choose to kill whoever he wills among them, warn others and even forgive the most guilty. The master-slave relationship from time immemorial has never been based on any form of justice. So I wonder why you think God should be beholden to explain himself to his slaves, or rather, warn them of his impending actions before he can be allowed to be a judge over them. I'll like to think that is antithetical to Quranic depiction of God.

And I strongly believe God has a purpose for everything he does. He could not have done anything without reason or purpose cause that is an attribute of thoughtless or low-intelligence beings. God is the Omniscient. So to say he might not have a purpose for an action of his is reducing his capabilities.

May I ask what then was Adam's message of preaching and to whom? I know Adam is described in the Quran as well as the first man. So who did he preach to? The trees? Animals? Heavenly bodies? or Eve.
If prophets are to be sent by God to different people, who did he send to the Chinese? What about Africans? who did he send to them? The fact is God chose to work through the people of Israel. It is indisputable. Even by the Quran. For the Quran recognizes the genealogy of the Jews as people who received three out of the four books. It also does not explain how come the fourth book was sent to an Arabian and not a Jew. It is another faulty synopsis of the Quran.
The covenants preceded the other and the inadequacy of each one led to the need for the other. Adam fell. Noah got drunk and cursed. Abraham's offsprings became slaves in Egypt. Moses did not enter the Promised land. David's offsprings lost the kingdom. It is the imperfections of the human bearers of these covenants and their generations that led to the need for the other.

It is interesting you say the Quran was not tampered with. How? It was not written by Muhammad himself who got the revelations but by a third party, years after his death, who also ensured some "uncomfortable" manuscripts were burned.

So it is not factual to say with full certainty that it was not tampered with.

It doesn't matter whether they are two or three. What I showed about the faulty synopsis of the Quran is the fact that there are so many prophets with messages but only four have distinct messages.
No. They all were given the same message but some have scriptures/books and some don't. And why would you wish that they contained distinct messages when they are from the same God? We don't wish for distinct messages, we wish for the same message, and one confirming what the previous have come with. We think God core message should be consistent.

“And certainly We sent to every nation a Messenger (saying): ‘Worship Allah and avoid false gods.’ “Quran 16:36

“And (remember) when Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said, “O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming the Taurat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed”. But when he (Ahmed, i.e. Muhammad – SAW) came to them with clear proofs, they said: “This is plain magic” (Quran, 61:6).

"It is He Who has sent down the Book (the Quran) to you with truth, confirming what came before it. And He sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)." (Quran3:3)

“He (Allaah) has ordained for you the same religion (Islamic Monotheism) which He ordained for Nooh (Noah), and that which We have revealed to you (O Muhammad), and that which We ordained for Ibraaheem (Abraham), Moosa (Moses‎) and ‘Eesa (Jesus)”
[al-Shoora 42:13].

While the Bible agrees that Noah preached to his people about the impending destruction, it does not say he was sent by God.
Please sir, return with a reference from the bible that says that Noah preached to his people about the impending destruction.

Now, I usually wonder why we should accept Quranic accounts of the patriarchs of the Jews given by an Arab over that of the Torah which was written by a Jew. Does a stranger tell a people's story to them? Can a Briton tell the Yoruba their history? Or the Chinese tell the Igbo their history? I believe very strongly that the Quranic accounts are best taken with a pinch of salt at best.
Well I really have not noticed when God sends messages to people based on their ethnicity. If it's the truth, then it's the truth. We Muslims believe in the Torah but we just wish that it was just the way it was when it was first revealed. We could find the obituary of Moses in Deuteronomy towards the end of the book. That couldn't have been Moses unless there was another Moses. They know more about their book, but their book has been "touched". Research on the Torah and you will find out that modern scholarly consensus rejects Mosaic authorship, and affirms that the Torah has multiple authors.

I also find it interesting you think God needs to be justified before he can judge others
Yes. He is just and would tell others to be.
If you think God is just too, tell us how he would be just without him first reminding or warning?

Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner. Verse (35:24)

[i]“And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)”
[al-Isra’ 17:15]"

“This is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrongdoing (i.e. associating others in worship along with Allah) while their people were unaware (so the Messengers were sent)”
[al-An ‘am 6:131].

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust. Verse (26:208-209)[/i]

I thought the Quran depicts humans as God's slaves. How does a master justify his actions to his slaves? Does he even need to warn his slaves? He can choose to kill whoever he wills among them, warn others and even forgive the most guilty. The master-slave relationship from time immemorial has never been based on any form of justice. So I wonder why you think God should be beholden to explain himself to his slaves, or rather, warn them of his impending actions before he can be allowed to be a judge over them. I'll like to think that is antithetical to Quranic depiction of God.

He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins and knows all what you do (Quran 42:25)

Tell them, (O Prophet): “My servants who have committed excesses against themselves, do not despair of Allah's Mercy. Surely Allah forgives all sins. He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 39:53)

Really it is contrasting that the slave ones have a just master and the non-slave ones do not think that God needs a justification for punishing them for something they are not aware of or know is wrong.

And I strongly believe God has a purpose for everything he does. He could not have done anything without reason or purpose cause that is an attribute of thoughtless or low-intelligence beings. God is the Omniscient. So to say he might not have a purpose for an action of his is reducing his capabilities.
That's for God. But for the people who were not warned, it's injustice. It's a different thing if they knew what they were doing was wrong and they continued. For example, not everyone knows that idolatry is wrong until you tell them.

May I ask what then was Adam's message of preaching and to whom? I know Adam is described in the Quran as well as the first man. So who did he preach to? The trees? Animals? Heavenly bodies? or Eve.
It's not stated in the Quran how he preached to his sons. He preached to his sons that there is only one God.

If prophets are to be sent by God to different people, who did he send to the Chinese? What about Africans? who did he send to them? The fact is God chose to work through the people of Israel. It is indisputable. Even by the Quran. For the Quran recognizes the genealogy of the Jews as people who received three out of the four books. It also does not explain how come the fourth book was sent to an Arabian and not a Jew. It is another faulty synopsis of the Quran.
Prophet were sent to their people/nation/community and not countries. And not all were mentioned to the prophet.

“And Messengers We have mentioned to you before, and Messengers We have not mentioned to you”
[an-Nisa’ 4:164].

It is also well known that most of the civilisations that were established throughout history were in this area, which is known as the Mediterranean basin, and nearby, in Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Arabia. Hence the most populated areas were mostly in these lands. So it is very appropriate that most of the Messengers should have been sent to the people of these lands.

Islam is less bothered weather the messenger is Jewish, Japanese or Arab. In fact, all the prophets of God were all Muslims (e.g person who submit to the will of God). God would raise up messengers from anywhere he wishes to. And the people of those places are not any different from other people. They did not choose their messengers or prophets.

“Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’”
[al-Baqarah 2:136]

The covenants preceded the other and the inadequacy of each one led to the need for the other. Adam fell. Noah got drunk and cursed. Abraham's offsprings became slaves in Egypt. Moses did not enter the Promised land. David's offsprings lost the kingdom. It is the imperfections of the human bearers of these covenants and their generations that led to the need for the other.
Did the Bible say that the inadequacy of each one led to the need for the other? Please return with the verse that says or suggests so.

But in Islam, the messengers are imperfect but their messages were flawless, because it was from God. No need for update or override. But they were humans who made mistakes.

“The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded”
[al-Maa’idah 5:75]

“Their messengers said to them, We are only men like you, but Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely”
[Ibraaheem 14:11]

“Say, O [Muhammad], "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allah”
[Fussilat 41:6].

It is interesting you say the Quran was not tampered with. How? It was not written by Muhammad himself who got the revelations but by a third party, years after his death, who also ensured some "uncomfortable" manuscripts were burned.

So it is not factual to say with full certainty that it was not tampered with.
Muhammad could not read or write, but he could speak. When he gets the revelations, his scribes that could write, write them down.
Those variant were burnt to canonized the Quran.

According to Islamic tradition, the process of canonization ended under the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan (r. 23/644–35/655), about twenty years after the death of Muhammad in 650 CE, though date is not exact because it was not recorded by early Arab annalists.
Cook, The Koran, 2000: p.119

By the time of Uthman's caliphate, there was a perceived need for clarification of Qur'an reading. The Caliphate had grown considerably, expanding into Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Iran, bringing into Islam's fold many new converts from various cultures with varying degrees of isolation.

These converts spoke a variety of languages but were not well learned in Arabic, and so Uthman felt it was important to standardize the written text of the Quran into one specific Arabic dialect. Another reason for compiling the Quran was that many Muslims who had memorized the Quran in its entirety (huffaz) were dying, especially in battle.

When the task was finished Uthman kept one copy in Medina and sent others to Kufa, Baṣra, Damascus, and, according to some accounts, Mecca, and ordered that all other variant copies of the Quran be destroyed

Ojuntana:


Here's where the synopsis of the Quran becomes faulty especially if with are to go with your inquisition.

You ask why God will send a man of God to earth without a message? That's an interesting question. But first, who is a man of God? Remember that your Quran lists the two sacred texts sent by God to man as Torah through Moses and Injeel through Jesus. We can then add Quran through Muhammad (SAW) for the sake of this argument. The next question by virtue of your statement is the name of the texts sent through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph etc.

But that is assuming that the phrase "man of God" should only apply to these people. If we are to expand man of God to involve anyone sent by God with a message, then we will have to enquire why Oyedepo, Inyass, Zakzaky, Adeboye have not released their own sacred texts as well.

I don't know how exactly your Quran describes Abraham, but the Bible simply describes him as one chosen by God to embark on a pilgrimage, not as a prophet, but as a progenitor of a new nation God had chosen to be his own people. He was generally timid and tried as much as possible to stay away from trouble.

Same for Noah whom you mentioned. Biblically, God never sent him to preach to anyone. God only asked him to build an ark for him and his family, and then take two pairs of animals with him. Note that God had already made up his mind to destroy those people according to the scriptures so one wonders why he would send the person he wanted to save out of the lot to preach to them. He simply took it upon himself to preach to those people. It is interesting that unlike Jonah who the people of Nineveh (not his people actually. Nineveh is a city of the Syrians) listened to, the people of Noah's time refused his message, probably because he wasn't sent to them.

But I digress. The point I want you to note is that God walks with and works through people for his own purpose. Even you. I want to believe you accept that God has a purpose for creating you. If and when you become aware of that purpose, does that necessarily make you a prophet with a message? The man who fought for the abolition of slavery can be said to have fulfilled God's purpose for his life. Same with the man who created the smartphone don't you think.

Lastly, Biblically, there are five covenants generally regarded in the Bible. The Adamic, Noah, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic and lastly Jesus covenants. Each is believed to be a precursor to the other and if you read through the Bible, you can clearly see how each covenant fared and expanded until that of Jesus came. Jesus is the embodiment of all the covenants.

So again if only covenants determine prophethood, then it will be implicit that so many people we refer to as prophet will fail the prophet test. You can thus mention the people Adam, Noah, Abraham and Jacob preached to from the Quran. I'm interested in finding out and the texts they based their messages on. Also what happened to those messages that we no longer have them?

The men of God in this context are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph etc.
In Islam, the books are Quran(Muhammed), Torah(Moses), Zabur(David) and Injil(Jesus). So they are not just two or three.

And again it seems like we understand the word "message" or "preaching" people differently.
A message does not have to be a book. There are 4 books in Islam and there was no prophet that was not sent a message to preach to his people before they are destroyed. The Quran was revealed in 23 years and was compiled years after Muhammed died. We can't possibly say that he could not preach to the people without the Quran. Those who are given books have messages to preach and those who done have books have messages to preach too.
Those books are full revelation from God and they are not their words.

These are how they preached as reported in the Quran:
“And indeed We sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: ‘O’ my people! Worship Allah. You have no other god save Him. Will you not keep from evil?’ ” (Qur’an 23:23)
That was for Noah, He didn't have a scripture like others, but he was given a message and he preached it.

Do you commit immorality while you are seeing? Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly.” (Qur’an 27:54-55)
This is for Lut

10. “And when your Lord called out to Moses (saying): ‘Go to the unjust people,”
11. “The people of pharaoh; will they not fear (Allah)?’”
12. “Said (Moses): ‘O my Lord! Surely I fear that they will reject me?’” (Qur’an 26:10-12)
This is for Moses. He was given a book(scripture), but this is his preaching.


And that God already made up his mind to destroy them That's why Islam appeals to me more.

Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner. Verse (35:24)

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust. Verse (26:208-209)

The destruction of the people of Noah isn't justified if they were not warned
In Islam, God can not just make up his mind to destroy a nation without warning them. Even as he knows that they wont believe, he would still warn them. He does not want to be cornered on the day of Judgment, and also not want to be justified in the eyes of all creatures.
Were you not warned?

And yes of course God can have a purpose for anyone, just that we wont put those purposes or those people in the same set as Jesus, Abraham, Adam, etc. The prophet "thing" is kind of exclusive. Those people are people God acknowledges in his book. God gave some of them scriptures, God gave some names himself e.g Jesus is the "word of God" according to the Quran, and Abraham, "friend of God", and God some great miracles, etc.

And on the covenants, if Muslims had the bible, chances are there that such concept will only be found in books by scholars and not generally be accepted. Most wont even know about it and some will notice the pattern but it wont amount to anything. You know why? It's because it's just something that is noticed and not explicit. Did those Prophets say that their coming are in covenants? If so did they say one covenant overrides the other? Did Jesus say that he is the embodiments of all other one? Please note that I am not taking Paul as a prophet. Why would we even section it based on covenants? Why would we even believe that one is a precursor to the other when none of them said so. We would prefer what is explicit and not discovered or inferred. We would just take those words as they are. We would bother about what Jesus, Abraham, Adam, Moses, etc said just as it is. Because their messages are meant to be direct and straight. No covenant based sectioning except explicitly said. It may only be inferred but not made the core.

And those who are not given books amongst the prophets are given a message to preach. In Islam, they are majorly as warners of an impending doom. And on the same path and on the same message. One confirming what the previous has said before.

And on those books? some are lost and some not original again. Only the Quran is complete and as not been tampered with.

Why is the devil slaughtering your people when stoning the same devil at your hajj

Definition of slaughter
1: the act of killing
specifically : the butchering of livestock for market
2: killing of great numbers of human beings (as in battle or a massacre) : CARNAGE
merriam-webster

Now let's replace slaughter with killing.
Why is the devil killing your people when stoning the same devil at your hajj?

In Islam, the devil does not kill. He does not have the ability to do so. He cant kill people.
The Angel of death is another creature made by God. His only mission is to take life. He does not dissuade or lie like the devil.
