Shari'ah Court In Southwest: Why The Fuss? Let's Reason Together by TheNiceGuy(op):
The barrage of insults directed at me less than 12 hours ago is beyond comprehension. And over what? Over the fact that I passionately support the idea that judging matters with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is compulsory for every Muslim, as affirmed in Islam.

Why the outrage? Shari'ah is not about cutting off hands or heads as some people ignorantly perceive. To those accusing it of barbarity, how many heads have been severed or hands amputated under the Shari'ah courts in Northern Nigeria? How many? You hypocritical lot seem eager to label it extreme without understanding its full scope or application.

Even some Muslims, who should know better, are making baseless statements that reveal their limited understanding of Islam. Shari'ah extends far beyond criminal laws. It governs personal matters like inheritance, zakat (almsgiving), Hajj (pilgrimage), marriage and marital disputes, and the distribution of wealth after death. It is a complete system that ensures justice and fairness within the bounds of Islam which is not in our judicial system.

To the olobeeyo Muslims criticizing it, we know why you oppose it: you engage in acts that Shari'ah forbids, such as drinking alcohol, committing zina (adultery and fornication), consuming riba (usury), using human being for sacrifice, eating human flesh and drinking human blood and even more severe social vices. Your guilty conscience terrifies you at the mere mention of Shari'ah, but understand this: there is no Shari'ah State in the Southwest or even in Nigeria where Shari'ah is being practice in it's full scale, so you may be safe in this World but you'll be held accountable in hereafter should you die on this.

Consider Ilorin, Kwara State, where there's Shari'ah Courts. How many hands have been amputated there? How many heads have been severed? Even in thesame North. Your fears are based on ignorance and misinformation.

To my fellow Yoruba of other faith, why are you angry? Why does the establishment of Shari'ah Courts, which apply only to Muslims, upset you? Some claim it’s a tool to subdue Yorubas by the Hausa-Fulani, but what’s the correlation? Are we lesser Yoruba to you because we're Muslim who understands our religion?. Shari'ah Courts in the Southwest are for Muslims only, and their jurisdiction is entirely voluntary even on Muslim because Nigeria is a circular State. No Christian or non-Muslim is subject to their rulings.
In fact, Shari'ah (the sittings for matter adjudication) have existed in some form for decades in the Southwest, long before many of you were born. The only recent development in Oyo State is the construction of a physical Court building.

Some even promised they’ll “burn it down” or ensure Shari'ah itself never exist in the Southwest, thesame Shari'ah that's being used to determine matters by Muslims who understands their religion for years in Yorubaland already? Jokers! And Non of your heads has been severed! Know this: your anger changes nothing, Shari'ah is existing to serve Muslims who voluntarily choose them, and they will continue to operate. You can rant all you want, but you cannot stop this. Even the building itself will stand, just give it time when the Governor is made to understand.

That's how you're opposing Muslim women wearing the hijab. How does a Muslim woman covering her head affect you? Why the intolerance? Why does her personal choice become a source of anger for you? Is the hijab forced on you? NEVER will we subject to this nonsense intolerance from you NEVER.

To those who insult and call us unprintable names that they themselves ought to be answering, we’re not extremists. We’re not against any religion. We're not stopping you from practicing your religion? You're the one intruding into what concerns you not. We’ve never attacked anyone, nor will we ever do so. All we want is the freedom to practice our religion as commanded by Allah. That’s it. We seek to live peacefully alongside others, as Islam teaches us to do.

To conclude, I am not here to please you. My purpose is to please my Creator. My focus is on where I am headed in the Hereafter, not on pandering to your misguided perceptions. I urge those who claim to follow Islam but lack understanding to learn more about their religion and when it comes to matter concerning the religion of Islam, they should be quiet because it requires knowledge and understanding. Let us strive to coexist peacefully and respect each other’s choices. Love and let live but we're not relenting in our women (those who wish to) using hijab wherever they are and having Shari'ah Court in Yorubaland just as we have the sittings in Yorubaland for decades.

Insult me, call me unprintable names, èébú ò kín so...

Some Muslim in Oyo state shouldn't be used by some northerners all in the name of senseless Sharia law.

Not in any part of South West

The so called Muslim group, what social programs have they contributed towards the development of Nigeria that they want to cripple the little available

Nonsense and ingredients

Does Sharia law not violate religious freedom?
By the way, is Nigeria not a secular country. Can someone educate me! 🤷🏼

As usual just making baseless claim and accusations

You don't know and you're not ready to know. That's the peak of ignorance.


Your rant can't stop anything, we decide our matter with Shari'ah here in Yorubaland,\ already, and there's nothing you can do about it

The Court will stand, just give it time
Re: Shari'ah Court In Southwest: Why The Fuss? Let's Reason Together by Edygrin(m): 8:49am On Dec 25, 2024
Most people if not all of the South wasterners have rejected sharia law/court, the question you should be asking is why?

In some states in Northern Nigeria were they have sharia courts and practice sharia law, have the citizens there benefited or are they better off than those in the SW, if No then your question is answered.

So what will you do?

Who among your family members' head has been severed? Who has been amputated?

For your info, if you're as pure as Yoruba as me, you can't understand, speak and even teach the deepest Yoruba language as me. You cannot

Sharia court applies to Muslims only and it is even voluntary for the Muslim to be tried under sharia laws. It does not concern Christians or traditionalist in any way.
Just like you like Tinubu and everything he does, so some Muslims prefer sharia laws.
Practice what you preach by allowing everyone with their preferences.
Nigeria is a secular nation where the citizens are allowed to choose their religion as no one religion is superior to the other.

Go through Nairaland, go through other social media and see how Yoruba's in general have rejected the proposed Sharia law. Even Gov Makinde has spoken about it.

So which side of Yoruba are you that you want to force something majority of the Yoruba's are rejecting!

That'll be your Faith if you steal and it worth you are amputated. This is under where there's full scale of Shari'ah law not hear.

If that's your fear, then you're a criminal.
