lol, this is illogical. Hotel by definition is meant to provide accommodation for travellers especially. It is not designed for fornication or adultery. But people may do Haram things they want while hotel establishment is not responsible for that. However, hotel management may accommodates Haram stuff like alcohol etc. But this has nothing to do with whoever doesn't want to drink alcohol or fornication.

In Nigeria, we have different definition of hotel from day 1. We have the idea that hotel primary use is for Haram activities. If you travel to another country where you don't know anyone, you have to rent hotel. You possibly carry your Quran with you too. And I do this. I rent hotels all the time and I see their Bible placed in the drawer on the side.



Your point is actually Illogical. Given the fact that the Hotel has other commonsensical meanings gives more credence to why Qur'an should not be found in an Hotel room. Now taking the Qur'an with you on a Journey is a different scenario entirely, but having it in a place like Hotel especially in a hotel room is basically Haram. Since some hotels do have Masajeeds, its basically appropriate to find the Qur'an there and not in the Hotel rooms

That's because the Bibles are sponsored by the Bible Society of that particular country and they are regarded as donations to such establishments.

As to why Qurans can't be found, I guess that's a question for NSCIA or Muric.
that muric man is still finding a way to sue Falz to court....

Christianity is one of the most peaceful and tolerant religion

Having that Bible there makes it easier for you to pray and communicate with God

Irrespective of what brought you there

The Muslims finds fault easily in religious matters or their items

If you put a Koran in a hotel room they will twist it and before you know it

That their Islamic war go begin and the hotel will be burnt down

actually, it is the same in the west. Now, that brings up question of fundamentalism and religious persuasion. If MUSLIMS do the same they label them something despicable. Most hotels in Western countries have Bible(s) in their rooms. It is their fundamental believe system. Why can't Muslims do the same without being seen as extremists?

Did anyone stop Muslims from putting Bible in the hotel rooms

who told you this?. We do. Maybe not as much as you do. It is called "Dawah". You ever heard of it?.

Colonial mentality is what slowed down Muslims in the field of evangelism, I believe.

Why should we have The Word of Allah in hotels, while we know that most hotels if not all are places of fornication and alcohol. And Allah has protected His book from such filthy places.

Only someone who doesn't understand Islam or wants to become like the West would advice The Quran be put in such hotels.

But you can keep Quran in a house where a man marries four wives?

Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Hotels Have Only Bibles In The Rooms? by klax(m): 2:58pm On Oct 21, 2018
Because the Islamic teaching is too aggressive and brainwashing in wrong direction. Any hotel that does that is inviting a ugly scene one good day because every little thing you do about quoran is blasphemy, even if you tourch it it's blasphemy, if you take it off your room it's blasphemy the next you will see is they are coming to behead someone.

Pls abeg change topic.

Is it everyone that does something 'filthy' in a hotel?

And did I say all hotels are filthy of these acts? If an hotel is managed in a way taught by Islam, there's nothing stopping them having it in their rooms.

I knew you will twist things. What I wrote can only be understood by wise people. You don't have to tell me what an hotel is meant for. So hotels can be selling alcohol too?

Yeah that is true. The Muslim kind of evangelism is ; blow an area up while screaming Allah Akbar, capturing survivors of the blast and screaming '' believe in the Koran or get your head chopped off? Choose one''. Not like the Christians actually.
hahaha.. To whom it may concern... Fact!

Same reason anyone can comment on a christain thread here. But one is required to swear an oath before commenting on any Islamic thread.

Christainity as a religion is open to all and transparent.

There are Muslims who will find it offensive, if they see you reading the Quran.
Christians on the other hand, encourage you to read the Bible.

Before you say anything, I know muslims who don't like anyone talking about the Quaran.



You've spoken my mind, God bless you. Christianity is open, while Islam is like a secret cult.

It's because the best insurance Nigerians Christians believe in is the blood of Jesus. The hotel may have the best security available and the most sophisticated of medical equipment to check mate possible emergencies but if a Nigerian doesn't pray before bed then all those mean nothing to him/her.

Good life? Where in the west is good life? Oh! You meant enjoying the material things of this world. There's nothing wrong in that, so far it's not again what's prescribed by Islam.
So, I'm not an hypocrite. Abi your definition of hypocrite is that I should be like you, even when I'm not happy with whatever you do?

In Islam there are rules and regulations governing our religion. As a Muslim u are supposed to be in state of purity before u touched the Holy Quran and as a convert or knowledge seeker ur major preoccupation is not just to see Qur'an and read u need guidance. Therefore, distribution of Quran across Hotels and Guest Houses is not envagelism or propagation of Islam and like somebody says the Almighty Allah is protecting is word and u definitely not find it in filthy environments like that of Nigeria Hotels.

Adolf Hitler was a Christian Apple gone bad, he killed millions of people, but one spoilt Apple dose not destroy other Apple. Osama bin laden a Muslim apple gone bad makes the whole Islamic religion of terrorist. I believe Judas Iscariot is Jesus and Jesus was taken to Heaven directly.

Anything Haraam shouldn't be done there while the hotel management know. Everyone the comes there to do Haraam things secretly is entitled to his or her acts, the hotel management shouldn't be blamed for that.

Simple.
