Great one bro, but as a literature enthusiast I believe you should have ended the story earlier, you let the readers opinions got to you, thereby extending the plot.
I've read a lot of stories that leave the rest of the tales to the writer's imagination after the antagonist has been uncovered.
That's what make an exceptional story.


Once again nice story and skills you've got, you'll go places.

It is in Hausa in the ajami/Arabic script and it means " Victory belongs to God'

Also a reference to the fact that most of the Army' s earliest recruits spoke Hausa ( not that they were necessarily Hausa or Fulani).

Intact most Army recruits are from the Middle belt.

Hausa by the way is not the only language written in Arabic script, Turkish, Urdu , and Persian are other examples. Anyways, most hausa is written in roman script these days

My Question.

Is Tarawih in Congregation Bid'ah or not.
If it is Bid'ah, are those who practise it Kafir or not? (using kul without division), (using kul with division also).
Using 'Kul with division', if those who practise tarawih in congregation later find out it's Bid'ah (Bid'ah hasanah)by Umar. Are they kafir or not?

Agreeing with the above, are u saying Umar is a Kafir also?

IslamRe: What Is Wrong With Tintingz? by Raintaker(m): 10:37pm On Sep 30, 2017
AgentOfAllah:
Please read the question I asked and answer it. I don't follow your prevarications.
why should I care about your question?

I am explaining what predestination and Freewill in Islam is.


Take an example. When we close all the doors of a room, this is our action and the result it entails, namely, that our room becomes dark is the effect of our action manifested by God Almighty. This is God’s eternal law. In the same way if we were to swallow poison in a fatal dose, this would doubtless be our action; our death following upon this action of ours would be God’s action in accord with His eternal law ( predestination) . Thus every action of ours is followed by a Divine action that is manifested after our action and is its necessary result. This system operates both in that which is manifest and also in that which is hidden. Every good or bad action of ours creates an effect which is manifested after our action.
You have raised the objection that shows that man acts under compulsion and is given no choice. Verses in the Quran clearly indicate man’s choice and his acquisition of good or evil; for instance
‘Man will have nothing but that which he strives for’ ( 53:40)
‘If God were to punish people for all that they do by their free choice no living creature would be left on the earth’ (35:46)
‘Each one shall have the benefit of the good he does and shall suffer the consequences of the ill his work’ ( 2:287)
And so on. All these verses point againt God compelling man to do some bad action or be undeserving of divine reward due to predestination.
It must be noted that Predestination ( or ‘taqdeer’ as muslims call it) is the determination of a measure; as Allah says in the Quran:
He has created everything and has determined its measure. ( 25:3)
This does not show that man has been deprived of choice. Indeed choice is a part of that measure. God Almighty having taken the measure of human nature and human capacity called it ‘Taqdir’ or Predestination, and as part of it He determined up to what degree man would have choice in his actions. It is a great mistake to interpret predestination as meaning that man is under compulsion not to take advantage of the faculties bestowed upon him by God.
This might be illustrated by drawing attention to the mechanism of a watch which cannot continue to work beyond the measure determined by its maker. In the same way a human being cannot achieve anything that is beyond the faculties that are bestowed upon him.
It is a grievous mistake to imagine that the Holy Quran has adjudged some people as deserving of hell as a matter of compulsion and that they have been compulsorily subjected to the authority of Satan. On the contrary God Almighty had said in the Holy Qur’an, addressing Satan:
Satan! you will have no authority over My true servants ( 15:43)
The notion that God teaches that some people have been compulsorily condemned to hell or have their ‘hearts sealed’ is misplaced.
Addressing Satan, Allah says: “I will surely fill hell with thee and with those who follow thee from among them, all together.” ( 38:86)
This shows clearly that God Almighty will not condemn people to hell without cause. He will so condemn only those who would have earned such condemnation through their misconduct.
It is also said:
‘He adjudges astray many through this world and guides aright many, but He adjudges astray only those who chose to go astray and are guilty of misdeeds.’ ( 2:27)
This means that man is judged by God according to his conduct; as when a person opens the window of his room that faces the sun the light of the sun naturally falls on his face, but when he shuts the window he creates darkness in the room by his own action.
IslamRe: What Is Wrong With Tintingz? by Raintaker(m): 8:59pm On Sep 30, 2017
AgentOfAllah:
You evaded my question! I didn't create Jhon, I didn't cause the fight, I didn't make Jhon's path dangerous, and there's no way I know for sure, as in with 100% certainty that Jhon will be harmed, I've only just guessed and I may yet be wrong. Jhon may come out unscathed! Allah created me and created hell, so is Allah guessing my destination or does Allah know it with 100% certainty? Just answer my question directly, without any contrived analogies.
We do have the option to do what we want but there are consequences for it later. In this life, God allows things to happen and take place. He allows us to choose but holds us accountable when we disobey or do things wrong. This life is meant to be a test for us. Think of it like this: You are taking an exam at a university and you have the free choice to mark any answer you wish but the consequences for it will be later during the grading process. We as Muslims believe the grading process is in the afterlife.
“[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed – and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving.” [Qur’an 67:2]
Also, just because you did something wrong doesn’t mean you’re going to Hell. It’s all up to God. He is the best of judges and knows who deserves His Mercy and who deserves His wrath. It’s not up to us. As a Muslim, I don’t know if I’m going to paradise or not. It’s not up to me. It’s up to God. This is why we have stories in our texts of even sinful people entering paradise at times and seemingly righteous people entering hell. It’s because God knows those who deserve it and those who do not. There is always some reason behind it which we may or may not understand. We do the best we can in order to earn His pleasure by obeying His laws and keep hope for His mercy. That’s what He wants. He wants us to try our best to find and follow the truth to the best of our ability. Think of it like this: You work at a company and hope to get a promotion from your CEO. You do your best but at the end of the day, you really don’t know if you’re going to get that promotion or not. But this doesn’t stop you from trying to impress the CEO. Just imagine that CEO to be absolute just, fair, non-partisan, no weaknesses, and full of absolute wisdom.

You think a loving God will support you killing for the ego of few men! Your life dream? What a pity! You need salvation. Mental emancipation and salvation. What a shame! Stop mentioning God in that nonsense.

You can be lucky as a recruit but as an officer, you must be connected.
A relative of mine applied for army short service. He crossed all the stages but the last stage. For the last stage the question was "who sent you" or "who do you have" and the applicant calls a name( senate president, genaral bla bla, minister of kaza kaza, etc) and hands over a letter.
When it got to the guy's turn, his response was " I have the almighty God and you my intelligent officers" the were impressed and complemented him for being very intelligent but told him this is where the road ends for him and he should try again next time.


Since then, anything military or paramilitary, I no wan hear.

Sexual assault for anyone is a difficult topic to talk about. More so, when the victim happens to be a man. In addition to the taboo of sexual assault, men also have to deal with the whole 'Men don't get raped' misconception that a lot of people seem to believe in.

But the truth is, just like women, men are victims of assault too. And it's high time we listen to their stories.
Here are some of the stories from men who were assaulted, sexually and physically:


1.I was on a Tinder date that ended up at my place. Eventually, we started fooling around but after a little while, I just wasn't feeling it anymore. She asked me to Bleep her but I said no and suggested that we relax instead. She asked again and I still said no. She then climbed on top of me and grabbed my flaccid dick and tried to put it in her. She was never able to make me penetrate her, but she used me to touch herself, I guess.

2.I was at a party and a new girl in our group insisted I needed her to babysit me. She would shoo away any girl who I was dancing with, saying I was too drunk when we had just started drinking. My friends kept her away from me the rest of the night, she came back an hour later and grabbed my balls, hard enough for them to swell and bruise, saying they were hers for the night.  


3.One night I came home and my wife insisted we have sex. I told her there was no way in hell that was happening because we were about to get a divorce. But that didn't matter. She physically made it happen. She literally chased me around our living room, pulled my clothes off piece by piece and ripped my shirt off my torso.

4.I didn't want it. I struggled against it. I said no and stop, over and over again. She practically held me down but I knew if I fought her off she could scream abuse and I'd hang for it. She knew that and used it to get what she wanted.

5.Later that night, I tried to leave the house once and for all and she physically attacked me. I had to stand there and take it because I knew if I laid a hand on her, I would go to jail and my career would be over. She hit me multiple times and scratched me and drew blood and smashed my nose enough that I had breathing problem for months

6.We had both been drinking. We had a nice chat earlier in the night but I absolutely was not interested. She walks up to me and just starts kissing me, grabbing my pants and tugging them down. She tried to pull me into a more private room.

7.I was clearly uncomfortable and didn't know how to make her stop. She wasn't listening to words, and if I physically stopped her, then I'm the bad guy. So it was just an uncomfortable situation.

Eventually, she realized I'm not gonna hook up with her and punched me in the face, with the hand holding her drink.


8.At around 3 AM, I wake up to find her on top of me trying to get my pants and underwear off. I naturally freak out and am mortified that my friend basically tried to rape me in my sleep. I quickly push her off of me and proceed to take a blanket and pillow to the living room and try to fall asleep in there. After about 20 minutes, my friend enters my room and proceeds to berate me for being mean, disrespectful, and for leaving her alone in the bedroom. I don't know how she did it but she convinced me to go back into the room with her and then I 'slept' until the following morning.

9.I was dating a girl when I was still a virgin. She had experience and as we went along, she really wanted sex. Soon it became a matter of I give her what she wanted or she'd get it from someone else.

10.One evening, she decided to push our make-out session into sex. I said no and she gave the same ultimatum as before, but this time she undressed and straddled me. She was convinced I'd give into her myself but I didn't. My body reacted of course and she proceeded even though I repeatedly told her I wasn't interested and wouldn't participate.

She went ahead and I just laid there and looked past her and watched TV and mentally disengaged. After a few minutes, she gave up, just rolled off me and got dressed.


11.I was in quite a bit of pain from a cluster headache, and my fiancee was feeling frisky. Sex helps with migraines, and my fiancee thought this was what I was having. She started fooling around with me. I asked her a few times to stop, and then told her a couple of more times to stop, but she wouldn't listen, and I wasn't up to fighting her off. She was under the assumption that if a guy was hard, he was ready for sex regardless of what he was saying. She had her way with me.


12.So my boyfriend was 16 and playing hide and seek with his cousins and their house help who was in her early 20s. They were both hiding together in a dark room and she put his hands on her boobs. He felt weird and ran out. After the game ended, she took him into a corner and told him that if he told anyone, she would tell everyone he raped her. He spent a long time thinking about how she could ruin his life with that allegation and it was mentally gruelling. The house help eventually got caught stealing something and was fired. But till the time she worked in the house, he would be scared to even enter the same room as her.  


13.My female boss made me have a sexual relationship under the threat of being fired and sabotaging my career if I didn't go along with it. She did everything from sexual coercion to blackmail to physically pinning me down. It happened on a daily basis and went on for a year before I found a new job in another state. A few months after it started, she also told me her husband would kill me if he ever found out, which in hindsight was probably just to scare me into hiding evidence, but I didn't want to take chances.

14. When I was in my mid-thirties, I dated a woman ten years my junior. I had some sexual abuse growing up, and had difficulty with people touching me, especially when I was asleep.

Almost on a daily basis, she would stroke my face while I was asleep, and I would wake up screaming. She would belittle me for it, and do her best to dismiss the reasons why I had that issue. She would get sexually aggressive. She would climb onto me, pin me down and kiss me. I would turn my head, and she'd pull it back to continue, and ignore my protests. Even though I wouldn't want sex, I would do it in order to get her off of me. I would fake my orgasms to get it over with more quickly. She would often ask why I had no ejaculation and bought the excuse that since I got off every day, I hadn't had much built up.


15.I started to go out with the 'girl of my dreams' when I was just about 17. She was my first girlfriend so I didn't really have any idea of what a relationship should be at the time. I lost my virginity to her and loved our relationship for the first year and then I'd start to realize how one-sided our relationship was. She didn't care about whether I was happy or not.

I was on a hike with her and she failed to mention that she had been drinking that night before meeting up with me. She ended up beating the hell out of me and I ended up with a very swollen jaw, deep scratches all around my neck, and a bite mark where she'd broken the skin on my face. She still somehow managed to convince all of my best friends that I had beaten her up that night, most of my friends had enough knowledge about who I am and how crazy she is, so they didn't believe her but I lost my best friend because he took every word she said to him as the truth.

16. I was 18, just started a relationship with a girl. Another girl wasn't happy about this and she got a bit jealous. Late one night, I was coming home and I was totally wasted. So wasted that I kept blacking out. This jealous girl finds me at my front door and asks me if she can come inside. I tell her no, I'm not interested anyway. I blackout again but when I open my eyes, I'm in my bed and she is next to me. I tell her to go home. She is on top of me, riding,
I push her to the floor, tell her to go home again.
Men get assaulted too and it's high time we started acknowledging it.
