So why did allah ask Iblis to bow down to Adam? Even allah practiced shirk.

Hndrrxxx:
Yep
It's just an innovation now.
You never see the Holy Prophet Muhammad prostrate or bend over for anyone during his time


In anything innovated, is forbidden and anything that is forbidden leads ultimately to the Hell Fire

I'm a practicing Muslim Insha Allah. See all this Islam doesn't permit this Islam doesn't permit that are just a coward way of life. What if there is War in Nigeria will Muslim run back to their own country? are they not going to fight to defend themselves?

We are not running an Islamic System of government because Nigeria is not an Islamic country so we use the constitution that we are using to govern the country for anything related to the country and use Religion for what concern God, Religion and our hereafter.

Bad Leaders, SARS and Police brutality are government errors which can be addressed by protest and complains from the citizen. Why don't you ask the government to stop using Democracy and be using Islamic system or tell Muslims not to partake in Democracy (Politic).

MO TI SORO SOKE O.

Xmuslim:
afi innovation nà you no even understand your religion. It's categorised under maasiya and some categorise it under shirk.

And it is some of you who are clueless about Islam that will be in the front row to condemn people who leave Islam .

you talk shyt like a preacher �

where did Islam came from? There are certain things that the place the religion came from had impact on it, our culture allows us to prostrate for our parents and one should be mindful of that,

drizslim:
The question here is

Is Allah the Almighty God ?

Yes, HE is.

The op is not knowledgeable. It is permissible to prostrate when greeting.

The question here is

Is Allah the Almighty God ?

Yes, there is no God but Allaah, and Prophet Muhammad(solla Allaahu 'alayh wasalam) is His Messanger

Very unfortunate uneducated sign of extremism, AFRICA EXISTS B4 ISLAM CAME TO US FOOL!!!!!, You can as well change your skin colour to yellow like the Arabs, what a loser,brainwashed terrorist characteristics shown by this Bigot. Religion Biased LUNATIC.

newguy1:
that is the problem we don’t need to be accepted by them. We are over 50million not counting our lineage in Brazil, Cuba n more, we got our self. Saudi never see American Muslim as real practicing Muslim n they don’t care so y should we care about the north that always wish they are Arab.

Why yoruba muslims look up to the north for moral guidance still baffle me till forever

Turantula:

we actual don’t, Islam got spread in Nigeria from the north which is d point of origin for Islam in Nigeria, haven’t u heard this talk that if you want to visit the town of Alfa’s u should come to ilorin, ilorin is not in the north in fact it’s a Yoruba town..... sultan of sokoto is always the figure head because they are the descendant of usman dan fodio

Yoruba Muslim don’t see Hausa as better Muslims ooo back 7 years ago northern elite do send there children down here in ilorin for university education at alhikmah because of its Islamic orientation

What's the different between Yoruba muslims and Muslims from other tribes...

The difference is that yoruba Muslim dont follow blindly

Perhaps you didn't read the post. According to MuhaMAD even bowing down for the sake of respect is forbidden in Islam

Potch:


Jazakallah kairan. One has to interpret this saying within the context of either worshipping any other person except Allah or greeting an elder. Prostrating to greet my Dad cannot be interpreted as a form of worship and should not be condemned. Wa'Allahu A'lam

Yustash001:
those ones are ignorant ones and mind you I'm a Yoruba...
the truth is majority of Yoruba's culture are built upon charms and incantations

Even Yoruba herself said Idobale kiishewa..meaning prostration alone doesn't potray you as a someone of good conduct

So culture and religion are two different things..

but respect they say is reciprocal......i stand firm with Culture b4 Religion....... who Religion help...... only problem full am.... sad

Foma2:
Ase! Allah created different cultures with different ethics. Prostrating to elderly ones in Yoruba land doesn't mean they are your gods. No, it's simply a sign of respect which in itself is valued by Allah. Allah says you should respect your parents, accord them the respect needed to please him. He said if you don't respect your parents and you respect him, he won't accept your prayers. How is me prostrating to my parents a sign of rivalry. I don't consider my father a god now unless I do, I'm definitely not doing anything wrong. I pray to Allah and accord him his respect. Stop misleading Muslims. I'm a Muslim too. Allah that diversified ethnic groups knows what he's did. He said you shouldn't fight his battle for him, so don't.

Jazakumulah my brother..... tell the ignorant Muslims the truth..... I'm also a Muslim too but I hate when other Muslims see us prostrate to elderly people as shirk.... that's ignorance my brother...... Jazakumulah kaira ones more

Yustash001:
Yes I mean majority, tell me what are the origin of ayeta, okigbe, madarikan, edi, efun, ewonsanpona if not shirk...I'm staunch Yoruba and these things are not hidden to me..

And ikunle and idobale is against Islam in the sense that ALLAH alone is worthy of bowing for..

Is it not the same Yoruba that said idobale kii shewa?

Even though Islam doesn't condemn culture, it only weeded out the bad ones...So the basic ruling is that any culture is permissible in as much it doesn't contradict any principle of Islam..

u claim to be a Yoruba but I can't believe u don't even understand anything about our culture...... so if I prostrate to greet u as an elder to me.... that means you're now my God abi.... Chai I pity people wey no sabi anything about their religion but claiming to know..... they call people like you .. ITK meaning I too know... lolzz

Islam is the ONLY acceptable religion in the site of Allah. It is a religion that bonds with rules and regulations that every muslim is mandated to follow. If Islam forbids prostration or its forms to other creatures beside the Almighty Creator, nobody should oppose it. Any opposer is either a hypocrite or infidel. Any culture will never prevail the doctrines of Islam. It is better to be dropped if it is against Islamic injunction. Let fear who created us purposely to worship Him.

OP has spoken the truth.
sujud in Islam.
bow, bend, kneel and prostrate it is.

it's kufru to greet using such

because Allah commanded him. same Allah commanded us not to bow for any of HIS creation.

I believe this are Arabs....... muslims for that matter....

According to moohamad, muslims should only bow down to Allah. Also according to moohamad, anyone who bows down to anything other than Allah is associating partners with Allah or committing shirk. So why was Allah forcing Iblis to commit Shirk?

Even a blind person would not call this bowing down.

how would you understand? when common sense is so far away from you.

Allah makes law as HE wants.

So Allah is a sinner? Allah has the right to break his own law? Even amongst human beings, law makers are not allowed to break the laws that they make. So why should we expect a lower ethical standard from someone like Allah who is supposed to be a god?

bless you brother..... you've said it all but the ignorant Muslims won't agree with u....very backward religion

They are slaves to their Arabian pagan god. I even heard a muslim on YouTube arguing that muslims should not use their brains whenever they use the Quran. They should just obey blindly.

The writer is MAD.

I am a Yoruba boy.

I am a Muslim.

My wife is a Christian.

If my wife is going to the Church, I will follow her.

If Masquerades come out, I will follow them.

If they are doing Eyo Festival in Lagos Island, I will pay for the regalia, wear my regalia and participate.

If you greet my father without prostrating, I will slap you severally. I will give you Ifoti, Igbaju, Iforun, Igbadi and Igbati.

Nonsense without ingredients. This is the type of nonsense that these church goers do and we tell them they are mad, now a mumu boy is telling us the same nonsense. Arabian Slave osi.

Guy, You deserve one crate of malt for this.

You are too much!

wayakum my brother, don't mind them. I just don't like it when people misinterpret the Qur'an, it's misleading. God made a whole universe, he knew what he was doing...

Formularcr7:
Not for a Yoruba Muslim, culture+religion is our identity

Any Culture that has no go against Religion is not Appropriate and should be abolished, against and brought down
