Islam › Don’t Celebrate What Allah Hates…the Festival Of Christmas by Qtsnow(op): 8:10am On Dec 25, 2014
Posted By Fareed Ahmad on Dec 24, 2014

With the beautiful golden Christmas baubles and the oh-so-
cute snowy Christmas trees, it is absolutely understandable
to be attracted to all the glitz and shine of Christmas (and
as a side note, it does make it worse not to be tempted and
dragged into the excitement with all those gorgeous sale
deals), but is it okay for Muslims to be a part of the
festivities or is it a matter of religious do’s and don’t’s?
You decide – here’s a quick flashback:
Many people today, even Catholics, do not know that the
Holy Roman Catholic Church was already in business
several hundred years before Jesus was even born. It
was a pagan church established by the Roman government
in an effort to control the subjects of Rome by having all of
them participate along with other Roman citizens in some
kind of common worship practices and beliefs. The year
was 325 A.D. according to the Roman calendar. A council
was convened by order of Constantine, the Roman emperor.
He had been a leader in the cult known as Sol Invictus
(Invincible Sun) and now, wanted to unite the Christian
sects in the Empire under his existing church: the Universal
Church of Rome. Many changes to the religion of
Christianity was about to take place at that council,
including:
1. Formulation for wording concerning the Trinity based on
Anthanias.
2. Changing Verses of Bible.
3. Declaring Arian’s “unitarian” (belief in the Unity of God)
as heresy.
4. Changing the date of Jesus’ birthday to December 25th.
The Roman Catholic Church took on a new face.
The Europeans call the festival of the birth of Jesus
Christmas, and it is on December 25 for the majority of
Christians. The festival is influenced by pagan rituals, when
the Romans used to celebrate the god of light and the god of
harvest. When Christianity became the official religion of the
Romans, Christmas became the most important festival in
Europe. It’s a fake date! It’s not real even according to the
Christian history. And here we are, wishing them Merry
Christmas at the cost of our faith! Now what about Muslims
celebrating something that even the Christians should not
be doing in the first place?!
The Islamic ruling and the reason behind this :
As Muslims, we have to be kind to non-Muslims but we
don’t have to start celebrating their festivals which have
polytheistic origins. Honestly, bearing witness to la ilaha
ilaaAllah is a serious matter! So, we can’t throw around
justifications like “We have to be kind to non-Muslims” or
“We should welcome all the celebrations, what’s the
harm…”
Because, wishing Merry Christmas is akin to saying, “Happy
celebrating the birth of God’s son and yes, I believe in la
ilaha illaAllah (there is none worthy of worship but Allah)
and that He has no son, but I still want to congratulate you
for believing otherwise…”
Remember, being kind to someone is alright but adopting
their beliefs is not okay. A major and essential part of our
religion is to maintain our distinct identity when it comes to
beliefs and to disassociate ourselves from every act of
disbelief and kufr.
Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: As for
the Muslim selling things that they use for their festivals,
such as food, clothing, herbs and the like, or giving those
things to them, that is a kind of helping them to celebrate
their haraam festival. Iqtida’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem, p.
229
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
said: Similarly, it is forbidden for the Muslims to imitate the
kuffaar by holding parties on these occasions, or
exchanging gifts, or distributing sweets or other foods, or
taking time off work and so on, because the Prophet
said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated
by Abu Dawood, 3512; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2691.
The Santa Story
Moreover, when you pick up and look at the whole Santa
concept, you find way too many problems with it. Apart
from having idol and pagan origins, parents all across the
globe lie to their children about Santa! Because, in reality,
no Santa comes to distribute presents!
The date is fake and the concepts conveyed to our little
ones are fake. It is basically a day of universal lying, whose
facts are hidden by glittery decorations, but sadly, majority
of mankind is lost in its glamor.
“Beautified for people is the love of that which they
desire – of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold
and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled
land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah
has with Him the best return.” [Aal Imran 3:14]
Bottom line:
“And who is better in speech than he who [says: “My
Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness),” and then
stands firm (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to
Allah’s (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous
deeds, and says: “I am one of the Muslims.” [Fussilat
41:33]
Be proud of your religion! The Non-Muslims do not
celebrate your Eid, why should you celebrate theirs?! Belief
in Surah Ikhlaas and celebrating Christmas can’t reside in
one heart.
It looks really dumb when you want to pose next to a
Christmas Tree in some mall for a selfie to look “cool”,
because, in reality, you cancel out all coolness because you
are ignoring the fact that by celebrating Christmas (“birth of
God’s son”) and wishing others a Merry Christmas, you are
bearing witness to shirk! Don’t celebrate what Allah
hates. It’s that simple.
Merry Christmas? I don’t think so!

Islam › Simple Deeds…mountains Of Rewards! by Qtsnow(op): 5:42pm On Dec 12, 2014

“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by
the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the
remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.”
(Ar-Ra’d, 13:28)
With the never-ending distractions of this life and the
infinite tasks filling our plates, we tend to forget the main
purpose of our existence which is to worship Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala .
Unfortunately, we make this life *t he* priority rather than
spending our precious time earning Allah’s mercy and
forgiveness.
The mercy of Allah is superior to anything known to the
limited human mind.
He has blessed us with innumerable opportunities to erase
our sins in less than sixty seconds, yet we make use of
such invaluable golden opportunities very rarely. Bountiful
rewards await us but we have to take the first step of
remembering Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala at all times. Here are some daily
actions that barely take up our time but grant us
magnificent rewards. I will split them into two categories:
one which concerns supplications , and the other consisting
of voluntary acts.
Supplications:
1. Narrated Abu Huraira
radi-allahu-anhu : Allah’s Messenger SAW said,
“Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,’ one hundred
times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as
much as the foam of the sea.” 1
2. Narrated Abu Huraira
radi-allahu-anhu : The Prophet SAW said,
“There are two expressions which are very easy for the
tongue to say, but they are very heavy in the balance and
are very dear to The Beneficent (Allah), and they are,
‘Subhan Allah Al- `Azim and ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.'”
2
3. Abu Musa
radi-allahu-anhu reported: The Messenger of Allah SAW
said to me, “Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the
treasures of Jannah?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah!”
Thereupon, he SAW said, “(Recite) ‘La hawla wa la quwwata
illa billah’ (There is no change of a condition nor power
except by Allah).” 3
4. Abu Huraira
radi-allahu-anhu reported: The Messenger of Allah SAW
said: “He who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten
times.” 4
5. Abu Hurairah
radi-allahu-anhu reported: I heard Messenger of Allah
SAW saying: “By Allah, I seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent
to Him more than seventy times a day.” 5
If Allah’s messenger SAW sought forgiveness from Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala , knowing that he is guaranteed paradise, how could
we be so negligent?
Voluntary acts and Nawafil (Supererogatory prayers):
1. Narrated Umm Habibah
Radi : The Prophet SAW said: “If
anyone prays in a day and a night twelve rak’ahs
voluntarily (supererogatory prayer), a house will be built for
him in Paradise on account of these (rak’ahs).” 6
2. ‘Aishah
Radi reported: The Prophet SAW said, “The two
Rak’ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this
world and all it contains.” 7
3. Narrated Abu Huraira
radi-allahu-anhu : Allah’s Messenger SAW said,
“Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one,
and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.” 8
4. Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib
radi-allahu-anhu : The Prophet SAW said:
“Allah is single (witr) and loves what is single, so observe
the witr, you who follow the Qur’an.” 9
5. Ibn Mas’ud
radi-allahu-anhu reported: The Messenger of Allah SAW
said, “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he
will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a
ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one
letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.”
10
6. Abu Sa’id Al-Khudr (radi-allahu-anhu reported: The Messenger of
Allah SAW said, “Every slave of Allah who observes Saum
(fasting) for a day in the Cause of Allah, Allah will keep his
face from Hell-fire at a distance of seventy years.” 11
The main purpose of this article is to highlight quick and
simple actions which enable us to undo the wrong we have
committed. We should memorize these supplications as
well as their rewards. Strive to recite them throughout the
day so that angels can record our remembering of Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala in an attempt to soften our hearts, rather than
recording us wasting our precious time on scrolling through
our smart phones.
Beware! Let us not lose interest after a while or treat these
supplications as a repetitive act, making them lose out in
terms of sincerity and passion. Let us always be conscious
of the fact that Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala loves passionate and heart-felt
duas (supplications) where our hearts would be speaking
and not just our tongues. Always remember: It is when we
sincerely believe that Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala will answer our duas that
He grants us what we desire! May Allah Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala make us of
those whose duas are always answered and of those whom
He Allah
Subhanahu-wa-Taala is pleased with. Ameen.
Islam › The Seven Sins That Doom A Person To Hell by Qtsnow(op): 10:24am On Dec 07, 2014
Praise be to Allah.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
explained the seven sins that doom a person to Hell in a
saheeh hadeeth that was narrated by the two Shaykhs, al-
Bukhaari and Muslim, in as-Saheehayn , in which it was
narrated that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: “Avoid the seven sins that doom a person
to Hell.” We said: What are they, O Messenger of Allah? He
said: “Associating others with Allah (shirk); witchcraft;
killing a soul whom Allah has forbidden us to kill, except in
cases dictated by Islamic law; consuming orphans’ wealth;
consuming riba; fleeing from the battlefield; and slandering
chaste, innocent women.”
1.
The greatest of these sins is shirk (associating others with
Allah), which leads to doom with no hope of redemption,
and if a person dies in this state he will abide in Hell for all
eternity. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of
the meaning):
“Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah,
then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will
be his abode. And for the Zalimoon (polytheists and
wrongdoers) there are no helpers”
[al-Maa’idah 5:72]
“And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)), as it was to
those (Allah’s Messengers) before you: "If you join others
in worship with Allah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be
in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers”
[az-Zumar 39:65] .
“It is not for the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters,
pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), to maintain
the Mosques of Allah (i.e. to pray and worship Allah
therein, to look after their cleanliness and their building,
etc.), while they witness against their ownselves of
disbelief. The works of such are in vain and in Fire shall
they abide”
[at-Tawbah 9:17] .
2.
Witchcraft involves shirk because it is worshipping the jinn
and is seeking the help of the jinn to misguide people.
The practitioner of witchcraft is the one who deals with that
which causes harm to people by means of the jinn and
worshipping them instead of Allah. Sometimes he does
things that harm them of words, deeds and blowing on
knots; sometimes he does that by causing illusions to such
an extent that a thing may be seen as something other than
what it really is, as Allah, may He be glorified, said
concerning the sorcerers of Pharaoh (interpretation of the
meaning):
“…their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to
him as though they moved fast”
[Ta-Ha 20:66]
“So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the
people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a
great magic”
[al-A‘raaf 7:116] .
Sometimes the practitioner of witchcraft does things to
harm people by means of the jinn and worshipping them
instead of Allah, by means of words, deeds and blowing on
knots, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of
the meaning): “And from the evil of the witches when they
blow in the knots” [al-Falaq 113:4].
And sometimes they do that by creating illusions, so that
they cause things to be seen as something other than they
really are. So a rope or a stick may be seen as a snake, or a
rock may be seen as an egg, or a person may be seen as
something other than he really is, and so on. Such a person
is one of the disbelievers and if it is proven before the
judge, it is obligatory for the ruler of the Muslims to
execute the practitioner of witchcraft.
It was proven from Ameer al-Mu’mineen ‘Umar (may Allah
be pleased with him) that he wrote to his governors in
greater Syria and elsewhere, instructing them to execute
every practitioner of witchcraft, male or female, because of
the great extent of their evil and the danger they posed.
3.
Killing a soul whom Allah has forbidden us to kill. This is a
serious crime of which Allah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense
is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of
Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for
him”
[an-Nisa’ 4:93] .
Killing a soul, or murder, is one of the most serious of
crimes, but it is a major sin of a lesser degree than shirk
(associating others with Allah). It is a major sin like
fornication/adultery, theft and so on. The one who does
that is not a disbeliever unless he regards it as permissible
to do that. Hence Allah, may He be glorified, says
concerning him:
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense
is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of
Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for
him”
[an-Nisa’ 4:93] .
He will abide in that punishment forever if he regards it as
permissible; if he does not regard it as permissible, he will
abide therein for a long time, but it will come to an end. The
stay of the sinners (among the Muslims) in Hell will be
lengthy, but it will have an end. As for the disbelievers,
their stay will have no end. The Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven sins
that doom a person to Hell.” We said: What are they, O
Messenger of Allah? He said: “Associating others with
Allah (shirk); witchcraft; killing a soul whom Allah has
forbidden us to kill, except in cases dictated by Islamic
law…” Cases dictated by Islamic law include execution of
the previously married adulterer, by stoning; execution of a
person who kills another, when both are of equal standing;
execution in cases where there is a legitimate reason for
executing the criminal, such as banditry, in which the
criminal tries to harm travellers by seizing their wealth on
the road, or beating them or killing them – he is to be
executed because of his great evil.
4.
Consuming riba – this refers to dealing with riba which
Allah has prohibited. Allah, may He be glorified and
exalted, says concerning it (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba”
[al-Baqarah 2:275]
“O you who believe! Fear Allah and give up what remains
(due to you) from Ribaa (from now onward) if you are
(really) believers.
And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah
and His Messenger”
[al-Baqarah 2:278] .
Consuming riba is a major sin which it is essential to avoid.
Riba is of various kinds, riba nasee’ah and riba fadl:
Riba fadl is, for example, selling one dirham for two
dirhams, or one saa‘ of wheat for two saa‘s of wheat, or one
saa‘ of rice for two saa‘s of rice. This is riba fadl, which
means selling something for more of the same type or
commodity. This is not permissible.
Riba an-nasee’ah is, for example, selling a saa‘ of wheat for
two saa‘s of barley to be paid later, after one or two days,
i.e., the price is not to be taken until after the sitting in
which the deal is done. This is riba nasee’ah. It may be
selling one hundred dollars for one hundred pounds, or for
ten pounds, to be paid at another time, and it is not taken in
that sitting. This is called riba an-nasee’ah, and it is one of
the gravest of major sins.
5.
Consuming orphans’ wealth. The orphan is the one whose
father has died when he is small and has not yet reached
puberty. What is required in the case of orphans is to treat
them kindly, protect their wealth, make it grow and handle
it with proper care. The one who spoils the orphan’s wealth
and consumes it unlawfully is subject to a stern warning,
because the orphan is weak and he has transgressed
against him and consumed his wealth. This stern warning is
addressed to him, but he is not a disbeliever; rather he is a
sinner, so long as he does not regard that as permissible.
6.
Fleeing from the battlefield. When the Muslims meet the
disbelievers in battle, the one who flees and deserts his
brothers on the day of battle, when the disbelievers march
against the Muslims or the Muslims march against the
disbelievers – the one who flees and deserts his brothers is
subject to this stern warning (interpretation of the
meaning): “unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to
a troop (of his own)” [al-Anfaal 8:16] that is, unless he is
recruiting to prepare himself, bring his weapon and put on
his armour in preparation for fighting, which does not do
any harm, or he is moving from one detachment to another,
or from one rank to another, or from one group to another,
as part of a plan against the enemy.
7.
Slandering chaste, innocent believing women. The one who
slanders chaste women, which means accusing them of
zina (fornication or adultery) – by saying: So and so
committed zina, or So and so called someone to commit
zina, but he is lying – this is one of the seven sins that
doom one to Hell and for which one deserves to be given
eighty lashes, as Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): “And those who accuse
chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them
with eighty stripes” [an-Noor 24:4] . Slandering chaste
women is a major sin, as is slandering chaste men, but
because such accusations are usually made against
women, the text speaks of women. Nevertheless, if
someone slanders a chaste man, and says that he
committed zina, he has to produce four witnesses or else be
given eighty lashes.
These are the seven sins that doom a person to Hell,
because they are so evil. We ask Allah to keep us safe and
sound.

Islam › Practical Tips To Connect To Allah [part I] by Qtsnow(op): 3:07pm On Dec 06, 2014
Posted By Abu Aaishah on Nov 12, 2014 in Education,
Inspiration and Spirituality, Islam | 0 comments
I admit it. I procrastinated for a very long of time to write
this article and I know, a few people might just open this
page in another browser/tab and leave it for days/weeks to
read.
“Uff, there is so less time and I have so much to do, there’s
no time to read this topic. Let me keep it for later. I am not
a bad person. Let’s read it when I am in “realization”
mode”.
Why do we delay connecting with someone?
We judge the limit of delaying things by the consequences
we might end up in. On earth, life and money are the two
most important things in our lives. Spiritual procrastination
which involves loss of afterlife, involves delay in performing
our salah, giving zakah, performing hajj, reading Qur’an, or
even visiting a sick person. They don’t immediately make
you a (worldly) looser, but the benefits these deeds can
fetch you in the afterlife is tremendous.
Lack of taqwa (God consciousness or God fearing) is
probably one of the main reasons to delay our spiritual
obligations. It’s not because you have no time, its not
because you have other ‘important work” to attend to, its
fundamentally because of lack of taqwa.
Taqwa comes from knowing Allah and by continuously
being connected to Him.
Just thinking “Its a heartless world, and a heartless job, I
never knew when my worship became a ritual, the prayers
are there, but swift; the charity goes, but without love; and
seeing the Quran in the masjid everyday, I walk away. What
do I read in it? I know nothing of what I read” is of no use.
We have to realize something is missing in all these acts?
That something is “ Connection ”.
Allah has also given us the free will to strive in
establishing a connection with Him. With all our
shortcomings, let us focus on overcoming the guilt and fear
of our lives in the light of Quran and Sunnah .
Here are some practical tips to help you connect to our
Creator :
1. Confession saves from hiding out of guilt. For any
relationship to sustain, the most important thing is
transparency. Transparency with our Creator (The All
Knower) is inevitable. One way to set things right at the
earliest is to accept our bad deeds, confess our weaknesses
and utter frustration of our inabilities and ask for pardon,
help and good life.
Some verses make it easier to cross the guilt-barrier and
connect to Allah .
“But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms,
indeed, Allah will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed,
Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (al-Ma’idah,5:39)
“Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in
the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no
private conversation three but that He is the fourth of
them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them
– and no less than that and no more except that He is
with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He
will inform them of what they did, on the Day of
Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things,
Knowing.” (Mujadilah 58:7)
How Do I Confess?
There is no better approach to confess, other than in our
salah and supplications.
i) Why salah? Because Allah says:
“And seek help through patience and prayer, and
indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive
[to Allah ]” (al-Bakharah, 2:45)
“Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing,
and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah
knows that which you do.” (al-’Ankabut, 29:45)
When Abu Bakr asked Prophet to teach him a
supplication to invoke Allah in his salah, Prophet
said:
“Say: ‘O Allah, I have wronged myself much, and none
forgives sins except You. So forgive me with
forgiveness from You, and have mercy upon me, indeed,
You are the Forgiving, the Merciful” (Saheeh Al-
Bukharee)
Brothers and sisters, prayer is one of the foundations of our
religion, and only through it, we can purify ourselves. Even
the most sinful and shameless is expected to pray. And
opening up in our dua is crucial because shaytaan wants to
keep us away from Allah . Wandering around with guilt
will not make us hide from Allah . We might not be very
open with our closest friend or sibling, but we have to be
open with Allah , the All-Hearer, because our beloved
Prophet encouraged us to depend upon Him for even
the smallest of things:
“Let one of you ask his Lord for his every need, until he
asks Him for salt, and asks Him for the strap of his
sandal when it breaks.” (Hasan, Jami` at-Tirmidhee)
ii) Supplications:
Indeed, there are many beautiful supplications to memorize
and there are times when supplications are never rejected.
Knowing them has a great advantage. Click here to learn
more.
2. Know Allah to give Him His Right. We humans tend
to make friendship for two reasons: common interests and
benefits. With Allah , it’s unique and different. Our
relation with Him is of a Master and slave; and only He can
make any of us Waliullah (Friend of Allah). Knowing Him is
our duty. It’s a part of our conscience to have the
knowledge of our Creator. This is one of the initial steps a
Muslim should take when he is curious about his purpose of
existence.
How can we know our Creator without being able to see
Him?
It is only by His word, Quran. In many verses of Quran, Allah
revealed many of His attributes, in terms of: where He
is, how He sees, how He Plans, how He creates, whom He
Loves, who He does not love, who pleases Him, who angers
Him, what He wants from us and like wise. A complete
surah (al ikhlas) is dedicated to His attributes.
One advantage of knowing the meaning of Allah’s names in
depth is to strengthen our aqeedah. The more we know
about Allah , the better we understand His Might and
Power, and easier it will be for us to submit and become a
better slave, in sha Allah. He also encourages us to do good
by giving us glimpses of paradise. This eventually creates a
balance of hope and fear which we can utilize whenever
necessary.
In fact, the realization of being disconnected from Allah
is also a blessing from Him. He puts that depressing
feeling of being disconnected in your heart, so you could get
back to Him and not go astray. We shouldn’t forget
that it is Allah who is allowing us to know Him; so we
should keep asking Allah to bless us with knowledge
of all kind and supplicate as the messenger of Allah
taught us to say:
“O Allah! Grant me benefit in what you have taught me,
and teach me useful knowledge and provide me with
knowledge that will benefit me.” (Hasan, an-Nasa’ee,
al-Hakim)
3. Realize the Good Qualities Allah has given you in
order to get closer to Him . Thank Allah for the
good in you. We might have a few good qualities which we
can never compromise upon, whether we are God conscious
or not. Few people don’t perform their five daily salah, but
will never lie; few cannot be unjust; these are nothing but
blessings from Allah . Thus, thanking Allah for the
good qualities is crucial. Attributing the goodness inside us
to Allah and using it to connect to Him is wise.
Allah commands us to acquire few good qualities in
order to be close to Him. Allah says in the Glorious
Qur’an:
“…Be just; that is nearer to righteousness…” (al-
Ma’idah, 5:cool
Once Allah’s Messenger said to Ashaj Abdul-Qais
: “You possess two qualities that Allah loves. These
are clemency and tolerance.” (Saheeh Muslim)
A man asked the Messenger of Allah : “What quality of
Islam is best?” He said: “To feed (the poor) and to say the
Salam to whomever one knows and whomever one does not
know.” (Saheeh, Sunan an-Nasa’ee)

interview this last Monday out of
curiosity,I spoke to some of the
people that came for the interview if
any of them applied and they all said
no,that they just got the message
We signed it and we were told the test
would take 15 minutes and while they
mark our scripts,a staff would come
to tell us what the company does.
Before I forget, the venue was 84
pako/itire rd Morgan bus stop Mushin
Lagos (trinity house)there was no
sign post indicating there's a
company there,it was even while I
was there I heard the name is
AlphaPlus.
After the test a young lady came and
started what looked like a
motivational speech. After about
20minutes some people got offended
and asked why they were invited and
where they got their numbers
from...they left angrily;about 15 of
them.
The lady continued after ther
departure and still spent up to an
hour before a guy she referred to as
CEO Kelvin Obita enter to give his
own speech
Our scripts that we were told would
determine who would be employed
that same day never came...this guy
boasted about how in 2 years this
business has made him travel to 5
countries,how he has bought
properties all over Lagos and how he
now earns up to a million per month.
To cut the long story he asked those
who were interested to be recruited to
signify by raising hands(it was no
longer by the test we took) we that
suffered through the speech did and
he said we'd pay 10k for license that
day or 5k and we'd be opportuned to
be trained by him...I showed interest
sha and he agreed we could bring the
money on Wednesday(15th)we were
not allowed to ask questions in the
open class...the questions were to be
asked in his office after we had all
been given a form to fill...my
question was simple...what their
website is and they said 'they are still
developing'
I'm sorry I didn't write about what
they are into...I didn't get it myself
and both the office and the room we
used for test had only plastic
chairs,no single furniture not to talk
of computers or fans and I heard
they've been inviting people for test
for about a month now...Stella don't
mind my medium,please investigate.
I sincerely hope my epistle saves
someone from wasting 10k
Here's the number they
dropped...07031000145

NYSC › Re: I'm Planning To Serve In Lagos State, Is It A Good Decision ? by Qtsnow(m): 1:20pm On Oct 12, 2014
Sincerely brother, I have lived in Lagos all my life except when I was in school and I know how it could be for someone that has no relation or friends, its like going to the U.S without having a place to stay when you arrive there. things does not sound or look rossy the way you perceive it, except you have a relative to accommodate you and feed you while you stay there. Accommodation, feeding and transportation should be considered, and since corps members are no longer posted to private firms, and no one would employ a Corps member except you already have one worked out for you or you just want to go and enjoy your time while you serve as a ghost corper . I hope you can handle the hustling and bustling, the anguish that comes with it because believe it or not all your allowance both federal, state and ppa will only serve as pocket money to you except you are medical doctor, lawyer, nurse etc. I am a serving corps member presently in Edo state and believe me I'm enjoying my time serving in this Village, where I can save some cash for my raining day after service.
Food › Re: (PICTURES) This Man Bought 3 Camels For Sallah; Is It Edible??? by Qtsnow(m): 5:17pm On Oct 04, 2014
it is permissible to kill a camel according to the Shareeah of Islam, the following quotes acknowledge it.

It should be one of the an’aam class of animals, which
are: camels, cattle, sheep and goats, because Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And for every nation We have appointed religious
ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allaah
over the beast of cattle that He has given them for
food”
[al-Hajj 22:34]
Baheemat al-an’aam (translated here as “beast of
cattle”) includes camels, cattle and sheep. This is
what is well known among the Arabs, and this was the
view of al-Hasan, Qataadah and others.

however it is edible to eat depending on your taste for meat. Allahu allam

Computers › Re: 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced by Qtsnow(m): 3:51pm On Aug 30, 2014
[quote author=ayex2013]Here are some of the worst price gadgets everyone seems to want or have. You can’t win with these guys so it’s best to just keep your money and buy more reasonable alternatives. Checkout our list of 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced;
1. Beats by Dre

The entire line is complete crap, especially for their ridiculous prices. Did you know that Beats Pro/detox that you saved over 500 dollars to get cost only 3 dollars to make and is still a crap quality headphone? Just giving you the facts people. Yo are buying a lifestyle when you should be buying quality.
2. Samsung Phones

I do not have to reiterate how annoying these are. I mean, they are Android smart phones made entirely of plastic with a weak ass Gorilla glass thing attached to the front. Drop ones and it breaks. And you are expected to shell out over a hundred thousand naira to buy these phones most of the time if you want a flagship something. Can’t be life.
3. Apple Mac Books

Do me a favor, when you are done with this post, kindly take a stroll over to Jumia and check out Mac Book prices… The go all the way up to about a million naira. For a laptop, that needs to charge with electricity and you still have to pay for internet. No Bueno Amigo!!!! The price just doesn’t add up to what we are buying. Sorry!
4. Samsung TVs

The other day mans is strolling through the mall and I see this curved LED TV by Samsung for 30 million naira… No mistakes guys, I call the attendant and asked if there was some kind of error and she did well to hold back her laughter in mockery of my obvious confusion… Then you start to look around and you begin to notice the pr on these things. Samsung needs to be stopped!
5. Smart Watches

The new rave of the moment, everyone wants a Moto 360 or a pebble that will set you back 700-800 dollars, Money that can buy land. And all the watch will do is notify you when your phone is ringing and tell you time and weather. Alright guys, I understand the foolishness. Well done! OBO!

Food › Re: Are Tomatoes Fruits Or Vegetables? by Qtsnow(m): 7:33am On Aug 16, 2014
Crop plant s are classified into four categories namely:
-classification according to economic use
-classification according to number of cotyledon
-classification according to mode of cultivation
-classification according to life cycle
the above classification is agriculture based and tomato is classified under economic use as a Vegetable.
However in botany generally it is classified as a fruit because it is the end product of lead production at the completion of it life cycle and the bearing of the seeds for regeneration.

You can take your pick, but the most correct view is View is that, it is a Vegetable, same as garden egg.

it will interest you to know that, carrot is called a fruit but classified as Root and tuber crop plant
