Muslims and their twisted sense of morality. The companies involved should sue the state govt. and their hisbah touts.

Hypocrites.

So many contradicting and confusing answers here.
*Women are fit to be leaders, cause Solomon's wife who's not a muslim is the queen.
*Women are not fit to be leaders cause men would be jealous and rebel against her. Giving allah no other choice than to give in to their misogynist nature
*Scholars themselves are confused on the matter. A quick look at saudi will tell where they stand. Women are not even allowed to vote let alone contest for position of authority.
And so others like it

It's quite confusing.

babylolaroy:
thank yu very much and here is why...to d best of my know-how
Women are weaker creation of Allah. whether we take it or leave it, women are not as strong as men. And in the islamic era, there used to be several wars, battles and all that. The leader will lead battles, build fortresses and so many other tedious works a woman cant handle.

Says who? During that era pagan women were leaders in various fields. Salma a former maid of Aisha lead her tribe in battle to fight against muslims aggression. There are many stories of women leading in wars during that time and they were successful as well.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Zafar

The woman by nature is delicate and shouldnt lead the whole of a nation. No?...if a woman leads nd has so many males under her, one day dey will rebel against her and be like...obinrin lasan lasan lon pashe funwa...i.e an ordinary woman giving dem orders. someday dey will stop listening because they cant keep being inferior or subjects to a woman

Another silly excuse. Like men are not rebelled against?

see a more practical example. in a classroom in school where a lady leads a guy, the guy will be furious and be like: a woman! a woman just beat me Hands down?...and he'll wnna buckle up subsequently.

A better practical example would be Khadijah the first wife of Muhammad. This woman was a widow; she was wealthy and ran her own successful mercantile business. She employed men to work for her. Muhammad started as her employee. This shows that women, prior to Islam, could own and manage businesses. The men of the Quraish did not think it is degrading to have a woman as boss. So its really disappointing that allah would give in to misogynist natures of few men and declare that women are not fit to be leaders. Is he a misogynist god?

lastly, a rule is a rule and the law giver knows best. If Allah has said ladies shouldnt rule den its for the best

babylolaroy: Damn you usermane. Are you a learner?. Must you impose your phucking crazy ideas quoting Quran like you know whatsup?..Damn!.

Queen sheba ruled when she was a kafir. She embraced islam and married solomon. that was the end of her rule...Sulaiman was the king and she was merely a queen not the ruler
jeez!! yu'll learn only when Munkar and Nakir teach you the hard way!!

So why are women unfit to be rulers?

usermane: Qur'an 27:22-40
tells a history. A woman ;Queen ruled Sheba. And GOD spoke well of her even though she initially was a pagan. GOD described her as a brillant,moral,democratic and humble ruler. Infact you should get a translated Qur'an to get the gist yourself. She embraced Islam at last, but continued to rule. No where did GOD state that women cannot rule, infact by giving us the story of this great muslim queen and not prohibiting women from leading in any verse on his Scripture, GOD is in essence telling us to women have just equal right to lead as men.

And for your own good,be careful with hadiths, not all of them are authentic.

Are they ever authentic?
I see babylolraroy has answered you (she's a muslim) besides the story from the verse is from pre islamic era and like dr Arewa pointed out, the jews had a lot of women leaders or rulers.

Another unfortunate reason could be fear of being attacked or sexually harassed by fellow muslims or those that belong in another sect.

"Clerics appear on TV inciting people, telling men they have the right to touch a girl if she is not 'properly' covered up. They should be stopped and brought to account but they are not," she says.

Emphasis on the bold.
http://bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22402053?sa=X&ei=f9psUqyYJMHt0gWmjIDIDA&ved=0CA0QqwQ

Dr. Arewa:
deborah was a judge in the bible, and a pretty good leader,ellen ruled liberia successfully...we'v had male leaders ever sinc amalgamation..are we succeeding?...abeg stop all these gender stereotypism and face d fact...this is d 21st century!...some of the greatest men have fallen to mere women,yet you say women can't be leaders?...well,wether u agree or not women r rising faster than u think...end of story.

You're getting it all wrong erm dr Arewa. I didn't say women are not fit to be leaders. I'm just asking why muhammad said so.

"Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler."

Are you a muslim?

Logicbwoy:

Sometimes? Most of her pics are without veil......

Anyhoo, let us leave this their thread ooo. like one poster above said- they wish to ignore commonsense.

Tomorrow, they will lie to our faces that hijab is not by force but today they are calling the choice not to wear hijab "excuses".
Many of the rich Arab women dont even wear hijab. Na the Africans, Asians, especially the poor ones that prefer it....

*runs from thread*

Right behind you. My post's already been hidden.

"Narrated Abu Bakra: During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler." - Sahih Bukhari 9:88:219

Babadeen: Is the hijab now by force?

Why do you have to call a woman's choice of not wearing the hijab an "excuse"

The queen of Jordan and princess of Morroco. Tell them that their choice not to wear the hijab is a silly excuse.

Queen of Jordan wears veil sometimes.

Nigeria should provide evidence of the attack. Its as simple as that.

babylolaroy:
you are just a terrible hater!! you hate him because you wanna be him. Talking abt kinana and his wife whateva...you studied dos stories for criticism. could you not study dem positively to learn? why are you badmouthing Muhammad. That man was great, that man was and is blessed. That man lives on. That man had our interests at heart....urs and mine. what happnd to the story of thumama?. you didnt learn that?. what happnd to everyone Muhammad saved, helped, prayed for?...He died saying ummati ummati...my ummah(followers)...no muslim calls jesus a robber or murderer. i shudnt even be saying ds. Eesa is our very own not yours. He IS a muslim cos we believe hez alive. i know i dnt know you buh i pray and hope and am positive dat inshaaAllah, i will witness the day you will be shamed for rejecting Muhammad!

Is there anything positive to learn from Kinana story?

All I see here is pathetic appeal to authority. Are these people being quoted muslims? If they are it's understandable why their views are biased and if they are not, why not? He wasn't good enough for them? I mean let's face it, the man was raiding people's caravans and torturing POWs. How's he a mercy to anyone?

NL member:

Thanks for this.

Many Muslim females think they are also getting male virgins in paradise just like the men lwtmb

They don't know (or maybe they can't accept the fact that) only men will get more wives.
Why will Allah give women many husbands in the first place? Men don't like the idea of their wives sleeping with any other man on earth then is it in heaven they will automatically become indifferent to the idea of other dudes ploughing their wives?

I actually asked a Muslim cleric about this issue and he told me that women don't get any other man in paradise except their earthly husband. He told me the reason for this is not because Allah wants to be unjust to women but because the men carried out more good deeds on earth than women. They fasted more and prayed more since there was no menstruation to reduce their fasts and prayers, so as a result of the extra good deeds men did they will have an edge over women in paradise and that edge is the houris

So sorry o, muslim women. No hunky hunks for you ladies in al jannah .

Eish, that's rather unfortunate. Who's fault is it that women menstruate? What of single ladies with no husbands? What will they get?

lanrexlan: I challenge you to point out a single verse of the glorious Quran that talks about 72 virgins in Paradise.Stop displaying your ignorance here,who told you Females will have no reward in Paradise?
Allah says in the glorious Quran in
Surah At-Taubah 9:72- Allah has promised to the believers -men and women,- Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever,and beautiful mansions in Gardens of 'Adn (Eden Paradise).But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah.That is the supreme success.....Peace

You're getting it all mixed up.
1) I didn't say men will get 72 virgins. A Saudi Arabian cleric did. Surely you're not more Muslim or knowledgeable than a SAUDI ARABIAN CLERIC. Besides Quran did say men will get virgins but didn't say how many.

2) When you say women will get their own rewards try and be specific. We all know men are getting virgins and pearl looking male servants but women get none of that except their old husbands and I don't think that's a reward.

Samunique: This is very shameful, morally offensive, divinely insultive, spritually unethical, intelectually unacceptable! Are we saying God is encoraging immorality in a place that's supposed to be holy?

Ok! If male believers are rewarded with female virgins, what happens to female believers?

Will they also be rewarded with male virgins? "If yes"
So one will be seeing his wife being molested by virgin men in paradise? Pls this is laughable, i need more explaination, pls help me!!!

Females have no rewards whatsoever in paradise. They only get their old husbands and watch him enjoy his own virgins. That's for married women, as for single ones, Quran didn't say. My guess is they'll be among the 72 rewards for men.

BTW, did cleric give exact number? I'm just assuming it's 72, it could be more than that.

GeneralShepherd:

Paris_Love would you kill someone because of blasphemy?

Will that change their view?

Nope

^^ What has Christians got to do with this? As far as I can see on this thread none has supported him.

I've seen the latest threat they made and I think I understand Seun's decision to appoint him as moderator of this section. You would be a fool to ignore threats made by this people given the number of lives and properties that have been destroyed because their religion was allegedly insulted.

It even gets scarier when the so called moderates like tbaba are excusing the guy's action and defending him. So please let's cut him some slack.

I don't even know what to make of this one. It's probably nothing.

Muhammad Qasim: Look.. u will be saint at ur home .. But If anything U say Against My Holy Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) u will be done for.. and first of all anyone who said anything to my Prophet Are Dead ..

Lol.

deols:

Can you rephrase? That way, it can make sense to me. Thanks.

Like you said, the social network is a con for Islam and muslims otherwise people like Richard wouldn't be criticizing Islam most times anonymously and getting away with it.

deols: One of the cons of the social network. Everyone gets to talk.

But then, why care so much about what someone else says, like it makes a difference?

It is a con indeed. Otherwise his head would be on the next chopping block for blasphemy.

showietee: Jesus return is sure, everybody knows that but pls ANSWER THIS- WILL JESUS COME WIT A NEW MESSAGE OR MISSION?

I already said it uphere, that his coming back is to clarify the allegations levied on him... Man be careful how you talk outside, and alway be calm in discussions... Its computer age, even little kids can see the writings on the wall... You might be embarrassed if you continue in such way...

Jesus first message explains how people corrupt the truth today, is that a lie?

Messenger/prophet are sent to earth wit message, what ll jesus mission/message be in his second coming?

I already said the reason for his second coming, do you have any point contrary to that, if not, then your thesis is baseless..

Information is the curative for bad knowledge.

I think you should be the one to answer your question. Did quran/allah/muhamad say:
1) No prophet would come after Muhammad?
2) No NEW PROPHET would come after Muhammad? Or
3) No old prophet will come with a NEW MESSAGE?

Black vampire: Look at all of you bunch of hypocrites...assumed she was a nigerian all of u will be abusing n callin her all sorts of unprintable names...... because she is from abroad. Nobody want to say anything....i can see inferiority complex at wuk..here..u all shud change ur behaviour....becos dose living in glass houses shud nt be throwin stones...infact i cant wait to leave dis country

She already repented. It would make no sense to start insulting and condemning her. Whether she's from Nigeria or abroad.

maclatunji:

The confusion would only persist with you because you refuse to get out of it. The same Islamic sources you seek to misquote are not confused.

You have shown your disbelief, anything else you want to display?

You obviously have nothing to offer. Accused me of being ignorant, I asked for clarification and you're still blabbing like a broken record. Anything reasonable you've got to say?

Whatever your answer will be, the confusion is still there.
According to Islam Jesus is a prophet. And when he returns for the second time, he would be the last prophet on earth. Fact.
And this beast that will bring a message according to quran would be the last messenger since it came after Muhammad.

Unless you're going to tell me that Muhammad is neither a prophet nor a messenger of God.
