In Truth, there's no ritual for burial in biblical text, bury the dead, remind yourself your time will come, take care of the living and move on. But because humans love flamboyant ways they do what they do to impress others or to give impression of "assisting" or "ushering" or "guiding" souls to the world of the dead and brand it "Christian", it not so in the Bible go and check. All that is absolutely IRRELEVANT!!

Dagger111:
I so much love that practice in Islam. So beautiful and unique.

Nchenches:
But why humility, equality and... are not practiced by Nigerian Muslims when they are alive?
Why would a Muslim strive to convert non Muslims to Islam by force, and ostracise Muslims who converted to other religious faith?

AllBlack:
What would happen if the whole world buries their dead like this?
No. We just want FANCY coffins that we can't use and big parties we can't eat in.

The annual worldwide total amount of money spent in burials and all the things we do in burials is enough to end hunger globally.

omoredia:
Pls it was a practice He borrowed from the Jews. Pls say the truth

Hardeybohwarley:
I supposed you tribe was considered when you were about to be named and will be considered when you're about to be buried.

Islam before tribe brother.

Fuckyoumod:
instruct your children to bury you that way.

Dagger111:
Of course, that is the way i should be buried. And so shall it be.

Lionessza6:
I love it for them. No wasting of money on coffins for the dead when you still have people living in that family that might need the money to continue and better their lives.

zeyt:
Islam does not in anyway encourage, promote,support or cordone this criminal activies. Any indivial or group metting out voilence against any human or even animal in the name of Islamic must be astray on the wrong path. Allah will judge them accordingly.

JIBO4REAL:
That’s human for you , Islam is perfect but those practicing it are not perfect, I think I answered your questions

Most of them are ignorant, remember the religion is about memorising...I was trying to explain to them that ritual means religious practices not dark arts as they make it seem...every religion has it's practices, this is rituals.

dederocs:
What I tried to explain to you is that the word ritual is not a evil or dark word, ritual simply means practices in a religion, every religion have their practices, therefore every religion have it's rituals.

jaszplus12:
Thanks for clarifying....well appreciated.

KingCold:

BrickDevo:
i really don't care.




just thought i should let you know.

dederocs:
Can you explain the idea behind the jihad and kafir doctrines?

zeyt:
Jihad is a broad concept but it essence is the protection of sanctity and intergrity of Islam. This where many misinterperete the message. Jihad involve fighting your heart resisting temptentions of life in the sense that you lead pious and clean life and at the same time following the doctrine of Islam. It involve attempt at stoping any vices in the communities wether by words or action. This is where many get it wrong especially the extremist to mean shedding blood in the process of protecting the name of Islam. Islam does not in any way encourages shedding of blood .

Enskynelson:
It's not enough to be humble in death. Some people live arrogantly all their lives only to be buried in a wrapped clothes for humility's sake. Imagine a man who eats different meals from the poor, used different market, different hospitals, different school now all of sudden want to be equal with others in place of burial! True humility is the way we live life and not how we are treated in death.

Utanisco:
So why Christian d bury with 100 million naira casket

Just why ??

Anijay1212:
How i wish us christians would adopt this form of burial. Just imagine in my community siblings had to sell of their father's property to be able to give him the so called befitting burial due to pressure from the church, extended family, the community including friends and associates. May God help us 🙏🙏

dederocs:
In your own words " It involve attempt at stoping any vices in the communities wether by words or action."

But in a democratic civilised system, we have the courts and the police, I think the extremists are using action to try to stop perceived vices...you can't tell people how to live, if people want to engage in vices, it's not in your place to use action to stop them, they don't believe what you believe, you are a mere mortal like them, trying to force others to live like you is where the problem is, this always leads to violence and anarchy. There are many things people don't like about you and your beliefs but you are tolerated, the almajiri system that is leading to an epidemic, the noise from worship centres, people don't like these things, but in a secular free country, you tolerate, or move to an extremist religious country. You have no right to tell people how to live, if we all start forcing others to do what we want and not do what we don't want, we will have anarchy...if you feel aggrieved go to court. Trying to force others to be like you is looking for trouble and extremism in itself, I pity North, the violence will get worse, with this type of archaic beliefs.

There are hundreds of religions if all religions start moving against perceived vices, this country will go up in flames. This is a twisted mentality, and reeks of narcissism.

dederocs:
They get what they do inspired by the hadiths.

zeyt:
Sorry I did not elaborate more on Jihad. Its no everybody in Islam that is eligible to undertake it. It start from your heart, and that is where many are disqualified such that you are full of sins. Something I want to tell is that in Islam we mirror the life and deeds of Prophet Mohammad as role model for every muslim. Jihad is not about forcing others to convert to Islam because Prophet Muhammad has a non muslim neighbours and business collegues and never force anyone to convert. In fact many voluntarily converted because of his good deeds and examplary lifestle. He was once stoned and never call for revenge or war for it.
One the issue of Almajiris, there is diversion from the original aim and goals. The system was meant to train and discipline the children to withstand an inevitable hardship of life and learning Quaranic and Islamic teachings in the process. It has been around for centuries and many still believe it is relavant today but many dont

dederocs:
I don't care about your religion, man is born free, no man born of woman can tell another human how to live... nobody cares about how you feel, what you practice or whatever. Mind your business, if you people are looking for things to do due to idleness or overzealousness, feed your almajiris and empower them, all these false sense of importance must stop, or the violence in the North will continue.

Fuckyoumod:
Are you a Muslim?

Dagger111:
That shouldn't be your concern bro.
