You won't find then here. They hardly take such decisions from a source like this. Talk to your Islamic mentor on your street.

AlBaqir:
@ArcBoB, Empiree
First, I must say there is absolutely nothing wrong in bowing to greet elders.

In the holy Quran, surah Hajj: 77, Allah instructs:
O ye who believe, irkau (bow down) wasjudu (and prostrate) wa'budu Rabbakum (and worship your Lord)...
NB: Observe the "waw" in "wa'budu Rabbakum..." is not "waw (and)" of conjunction but "waw" that explain.

The intent (niyyat) of bowing (ruku) and prostrating (sujjud) in Salat is to Worship Allah. And even these mechanical genuflections become void if the Lordship (al-Rubbubiyyah) and Creator ship of the Lord, Allah is not established in the intention during salat or other form of ibaadat unto Allah.

The angels and the Jinns who bowed for Nabi Adam, did with what intent? Quran explains it as mark and recognition and respect for Adam's knowledge. Never for worship. Allah never command shrik (polytheism) act.

Interestingly, the first, common and probably longest part of worship in salat is "Qiyam" (standing). And Quran instructs the believers to stand for prayer with humility.
Don't you stand all the time in front of your elders, teachers etc? Has that in anyway constitute "ibadat"(worship) to them?. The only difference between standing in front of your elders or teacher and Allah is this Rubbubiyyah.

Ma sha Allah! Sahih ahadith indicate that the holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) used to stand up to greet and welcome her daughter, Fatima (peace be upon her) whenever she enters. Fatima used to do the same for her father, the Prophet.
Why is this when there is no indication that's the prophet's usual practice for any woman or other daughters of his or man?

This standing is a mark of respect and reverence. Question: How does the younger sahabah or sons of sahabah greet their father or elder sahabah or the holy Prophet, the spiritual father of all? Do they shake hands? Peer groups are expected to shake hands. Arabs till date have a cultural way of greeting. Young or children kiss hands or side cheek of the elders and all that.

The only thing labeled as Haram according to certain school is prostration with forehead to whoever other than Allah. Bowing, knelling for elders as mark of greetings or respect is never Haram.

"Every action shall be judge according to intention...

was salam alaykum

Beware of the new generation scholars. The issue of prostration has been set straight since the time of the Prophet by the Prophet himself. But here we have modern Quran translators giving us their own opinion from reasoning.
May Allah guide the Ummah.

SuperSuave:

winniz: GEJ should just remove the Aboki forcefully if he remains defiant or declare his position vacant, GEJ is just too quiet to be a President that is the reason everyone insults him and gets away with it, during OBJ regime he was terrorising everyone with EFCC.

you are spitting rubbish out off your brain. people like you make us remain in this state.

Jacide: My friend, www.bestmobs.com is also visited by Ghanaians, Indians, Chinese, Americans, Europeans. Don't you think if they start writing the prices of all these phones in Nigeria's ever-changing Naira there will be some confusion?

Dollar is a more stable currency and more globally used than all other currencies that's why it's being used by most of these pricing sites?

Hope you question is now answered, son?

You dey yarn opas.
Truely, this is nairaland so give us the price in naira.

What do you think?

Are you sure you are a Muslim? Cos am very sure you can't be a christian.
Kano state has not band Christianity and besides why do we even have to reference Christianity in this matter?

martronilla: A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian
woman, but a Christian man is not permitted
to marry a Muslim woman.
I remember hearing an interview on the
radio with a Muslim, a few years ago. As the
interview began, the host asked the Muslim
guest whether he was married. He replied
that Islam is so open and tolerant that he is
married to a Christian. Islam means equality
and no discrimination.
However, the quick-minded interviewer
asked him if Islam allows a Jewish man or a
Christian man to marry a Muslim woman.
The guest’s enthusiasm dropped a little. He
had to concede that Islam does not allow
this. The radio host pressed home the point,
saying that the guest’s first statement was a
little misleading, wasn’t it? They argued for a
moment or two. Then, if I recall correctly, the
radio host sensed his guest’s unease and
changed the subject.
A short article from a Muslim website,
representing many others, says about
religiously mixed marriages:
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to
marry a non-Muslim man.
It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a
Christian/Jewish woman strictly under these
two conditions:
1. She is a true Christian/Jew – not by
name and/or ancestral background.
2. She did not renegade from Islam and
become a Christian/Jew.
Why is marriage allowed in only one
direction? Maybe seventh-century Arab
culture will answer this question. Perhaps
the Quran itself does not honor women,
married or not.
What does the New Testament say on the
matter?
The Quran
For the historical and literary topical context
of this next sura (chapter), please click here.
The Quran in Sura 5:5 says:
. . . Likewise you are permitted to marry
chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste
women among the people who were given
the Scripture [Jews and Christians] . . . .
(Maududi, vol. 1, p. 427)
This verse, as noted, says that Islam permits
Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women
who are Christians and Jews, but a Jewish
or Christian man may not marry a Muslim
woman. (In this article I will address only the
Christian community.) What is the rationale
behind the ruling?
Beyond any doubt, Islam is patriarchal, so a
Muslim man must have final control in the
relationship. For example, Sura 4:34 says
that a husband may hit his wife, but no
verse in the Quran says a wife may hit her
husband—as if domestic violence in any
form is acceptable.
It may be true that Muhammad at first
respected Judaism and Christianity, but he
turned against them later on in his life, as
seen in this article and this one. So this
means that in seventh-century Arab culture
a Muslim man may dominate his wife or
wives, but not a Christian man who would
dominate his Muslim wife.
Islam allegedly is the best and final religion
for all humankind, and the Muslim man may
convert his submissive wife. Perhaps in
Muhammad’s mind no woman could ever
convert a Muslim man, if he is a
traditionalist. Today, this is especially true if
he comes from a hard line region in an
Islamic country or a hard line Muslim family.
Therefore, Christian women must be careful
about marrying Muslim men. Islam does not
give the same rights to women as it does to
men. In fact, the Quran clearly says that
women are inferior to men.
Further, to be blunt, but also factual, Islam
generally is a cruel and harsh slave-master.
This article shows that Muslim men are
permitted to have sex with their slave-girls.
This article gives the top ten reasons why
Islam is not the religion of peace. And this
article offers the top ten reasons why
Islamic law is bloody and excessive—six
hundred years after Jesus showed us a
better way. Finally, this article gives the top
ten rules in the Quran that oppress and
insult women. Islam, as the whole world
knows by many, many reports, does not
honor women.
Therefore, Christians must not trade in the
eternal Son of God who sets people free
today and offers the love of God, for a
human and mortal messenger Muhammad
(Suras 3:144; 39:30; 41:4), who is too often
cruel and harsh and misogynistic. Islam
does not honor women.
If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, but
holds on to her beliefs, such as the Sonship
and Lordship of Christ, then ipso facto she
holds on to a false belief and may be
considered a "heretic" or an "infidel," if the
Quran and traditional Islamic theology are
followed consistently.
Also, would the children be Muslims or
Christians, or secular? The answer is clear, if
Islam is followed consistently.
What kind of marriage would this be?
Where is the spiritual connection and
agreement between husband and wife and
God?
The New Testament
The New Testament starts the soon-to-be
married couple on an equal footing in the
selection of a mate.
The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 7:39
says that a Christian woman may marry only
a Christian man (and vice-versa) (see also 2
Corinthians 6:14-18). At first glance, this
divine counsel seems too restrictive, but
looked at more deeply, it demonstrates a lot
of wisdom. If a married couple starts their
walk together with the same faith and
theology, then this takes the pressure off of
possibly converting the partner to the
other’s faith. One partner does not have to
"evangelize" the other partner. Neither
partner starts off as an "infidel" or "heretic."
In Biblical Christianity, the man and the
woman must have a deep, spiritual
relationship with Jesus Christ, individually,
through the power of the Holy Spirit before
they become one flesh in marriage. This
means their spiritual intimacy with the Lord
will be shared in the couple’s own intimacy
with each other.
Also, this true spiritual equality takes away
any patriarchy. The woman already agrees
with the husband in matters of religion, so
what need does he have to control the
relationship and lay down religious law?
In a way, Islam acknowledges this
restriction when it forbids a Muslim from
marrying a polytheist or idolater (Sura
2:221). They are too far apart theologically.
Likewise, though neither religion is
polytheistic, Islam and Christianity are too
far apart theologically and spiritually, notably
in Muhammad’s denial of the Sonship of
Jesus Christ, an essential, non-negotiable
doctrine in Christianity. Islam wrongly
demotes Jesus to a mere prophet. The New
Testament everywhere affirms the Sonship
of Christ.
On a heart-felt level, the Muslim does not
receive the Holy Spirit because he does not
receive Christ as Savior and Lord. In fact,
Islamic theology erroneously reduces the
Holy Spirit to the angel Gabriel. This means
that a marriage between a Muslim and a
Christian would be unequal. And this is risky
for the Christian, since she would be most
vulnerable to a particularly strong patriarchy
that may rear its ugly head later on in the
marriage.
Remember, the Quran gives permission to
husbands to hit their wives if the husbands
merely fear high handedness or rebellion in
their wives (Sura 4:34).
Besides this practical reason, if a Christian
understands the New Testament, then he or
she must not marry a Muslim, for spiritual
and theological reasons.
A Christian couple must keep spiritual unity.
They must raise their children in spiritual
harmony, as followers of Christ.

Am very sure you are presently living an unhappy life.
I just want to wish you all the best ahead.
Live wise, live Islam.

I will be writing the next diet (in sha Allah).
And will not write a diet twice.(In sha Allah)

Logicbwoy: First of all, when CNN criticizes islam or an islamic country, it is dubbed as "Western media", "biased islamophobic media", "Jewish controlled media"......etc. Now that it is praising islam (albeit with falsehoods) you post it here like some piece of good news to be shared......smh



8. Muhammed (PBUH) did not invent the toothbrush neither was he the earliest to use a chewing stick.

4. Universities? Seriously? The first "proper" university would be the University at Bologna. If we want to stretch it, your muslim universities would have to give way to Plato

7. Music? Ironic how some schools of islam find music to be haraam. Arans ha their instruments just as Europeans had their own musical instruments. But seriously, the way muslims like to compare themselves with Europe is alarming. Asians and Africans had their own music too!! Tbaba, it is shameful that you an African, couldnt see the ethnocentrism in this....






Tbaba, you are smarter than this.

Anyhoo, my comment will be a waste because it is the truth and we know that some pained by the truth will run to Maclatunji to hide the truth

You are just so obsesed and frustrated. Get a life bro.

baba11: Simpleseyi has given u complete response i would have loved to give u but let me add mine.African mentality and nigerian factors has almost rob us of our thinking.I can't see any reason to praise somebody u chose to lead you.For God's sake,he's doing his work and how does this cost compare to allocation he was given?The day we begin to challenge our leaders on how they lead us,is the day we are moving inch by inch to our so callled 'promised land'!

Considering the current Nigeria leadership situation and their impetus, I call your statement discouraging and ingrate. Despite the fact that its true when observing as a foreigner.

saintvc: I wonder why some group of religion fanatics have decided to continue living an achaic way of life. Always drawing people backward.

They do all sexual immorality and support teenage marriage only to frown at beauty pageant


i didnt call any name before some extremist start banning me

You are just as good as the organiser. I feel for you already if you are a muslim and you call references from the noble Quran achaic and fanatic.

This can't be true. Its a pure deceit.

pembisco: Stop complaining! Its a private bank and so they choose how to employ their staff, get lost if you can't comply. As simple as that.

You sound like you are so confined to your state boundaries. Take a look at how the multinational firms operates in other countries.

babagy82: I hate u people (christians) because of your hatred to islam. If a christian man marries a 16year old girl u'll say nothing. But if a muslim marries a gairl of that same age u'll call him pedophile. Whats rong with u?? Underage marriage is our right as muslims and nobody will force u todo it. I myself cant marry underage girl for some reason but doesnt mean i cant give out my underage girl out for marriage if she's ok with it. Why cant you ppl leave us alone?? Christians are hypocrites of the first order. If a muslim marries underage girl, prophet muhammad marries an underaged girl, yes he did. But everyone has forgotten his first wife was a 45year old widow when he was just 25 years old. We are asked to emulate the prophet thats why watever he did serve as a teaching to us. The way he married both a widow and underage aisha is simply telling us you can marry both underage and overage girl and nothing is wrong about that provided its not a forced marriage, and also marriage itself is not compulsory talkless of marrying a teenage girl. Even among muslims is not every muslim dat like marrying teenage girls, then why is it your problem xstians?? Why

Its underage according to western secularist ideology not according to orthodox Christian or Islamic ideology.

uzoo: Anyone Tuning In To The Interview Of A Paedophile By 9pm 25th Aug On Channelstv?

I just watched a short clips of the interview...wait a minute...need to use the loo (Buullluooooogghh..i just threw up)

The Header sounds subjective.

scottpirlo24: @ op .... U are misleading pple here, I have been to this location in egypt .... It is not a church ... That picture and location is fateh mosque in cairo ,,,,,, pls stop faking things up

Grow up bro.
Feteh mosque with a cross on it?
Its you that seems to be misleading people here.

druid06: It seems Allah was deaf to her prayers about protecting her daughter yet some would kill, destroy and do some unmentionable deeds for HIM. Isn't it ironic and pathetic? Fighting for a deity who doesn't give a hoot about you, who wants you to destroy and kill innocent lives because to him they're infidels. People stop putting your hands in false GODS and make your destiny by your own hands.

Despite the fact that blood still runs in your veins, you live a miserable life compared to the matyrs in Egypt.
And quite unfortunate, you are not getting out of it soon.
Truely its your life but you surely die one day just like you predecessors who fought out the last drop of blood in them to kill the light of ISLAM. Islam lives but your predecessors are no more.
Will you not take a rethink?

I can how biased the writer of this article is by referring to the county's law as harsh just cos it had frowned against sex outside marriage. Don't even think this kind of news should make the front page.

WildChild00: The question is why has UN not taking any action against George .W. Bush and Tony.Blair. of the united kingdom, for crime against humanity they committed when in office? eg in Iraq etc.

God bless your rationality.

Can someone please hint me on the necessary procedure required of a direct entry candidate?

Most of these nut head bigots(false Christians) are not even practising what's in their book never to talk of interfering in other peoples religion.
Let them just go relax their ugly minds and let the tolerant Muslims do their thing.
Live and let live pls.

Jazakallahu kayr
