Blind leading the deaf @ ShoeGetSize:

Please show us where it was reported the prophet was a rich man. Don't bother replying. Quran has described you perfectly. . We know who you are

Indeed, there was a group of My servants who used to pray, ‘Our Lord! We have believed, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the best of those who show mercy,’

but you were ˹so busy˺ making fun of them that it made you forget My remembrance. And you used to laugh at them.

Ekrenji:
But that was not how the marriage of Khadija and Mohammed was, what the wealthy Khadija had became Mohammed’s own

MKO wasn't different from other people that stole from Nigeria. Yes, I am Yoruba.

Cowardigbos:


Tell me someone from your Tribe who had a Airline as at 90's!

Always looking to water down people's effort!

Whatever rocks your boat

Ekrenji:

That is not true. See that the Quran states that Allah does not forgive the sin of Shirk

You are telling me I shouldn't speak to God directly but to speak through a man God that was afraid of death and prayed to God to contact God.

No difference with paganism really. They believe in speaking to lesser gods to reach God. Moses didn't do that, Lot didn't do that, Enoch didn't do that, David didn't do that and I am not about to do that. Thank you.

Jesus exist even before the world was created. The Quran say he is the word of God, the Quran even went further and say he is a spirit from God.

Salvation is something ONLY GOD can do, and God has already done it.

The only thing you need to do is just BELIEVE.

Well, you are a Muslim, you are canal minded person, you will not understand

I understand but not many Muslims are familiar with these verses. A lot of Muslims don't
understand the Qur'an, they defer to their Alfas and reading the Quran in Arabic without understanding what it means.

Almunjid:

Initially, I didn't intend to delve into explaining the context of any verses, as I thought merely mentioning them would suffice. However, you prompted me to elaborate further. I believe Muslims are generally more familiar with these verses, and I didn't feel the need to expatiate on my quotes.

It seems that many non-Muslims who visit Muslim threads on Nairaland aim to derail discussions rather than seek guidance. My intention wasn't to guide anyone either, as only Allah can guide them according to His will (Qur'an 2:272). No matter how extensive your explanations may be, people will not be guided until Allah wills it. When the time is right, a single verse without explanation, or an eye-opening event, may be all it takes to inspire divine guidance.


Salaam!

The earth is the word of God. The heaven is the word of God. Everyone is existing because of the word of God. Quran didn't say he was the spirit of God. Jesus's birth isn't more miraculous than the creation of Earth and other miracles that other prophets performed.

The word of God in the Qur'an is referred to as Kunfayakum meaning Be and it is. Either way, Jesus prayed to God in the Bible and he never unequivocally demanded people to worship him. There was no scene in the bible where people bowed to worship him or he asked them to bow to him. Every time you speak about Jesus as God, it is from inference and for a belief so fundamental to your faith, I don't need to infer about who God is.

Quran clearly says nothing comes to earth except as God's servant. Jesus himself spoke as a baby in the Qur'an when he told the rabbis that:

Jesus declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet

He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,

and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.

Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”

That is Jesus, son of Mary. ˹And this is˺ a word of truth, about which they dispute.

It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!

˹Jesus also declared,˺ “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.”

malvisguy212:

Well, you are a Muslim, you are canal minded person, you will not understand

There was no context in your initial quote, you are just providing the context.

The verse you quoted earlier on was without context and does not provide enough explanation for non Muslims or other Muslims who are seeking guidance.

Almunjid:

Lol. You misunderstood the context. The verse refers to those who die while associating partners with Allah; Allah can forgive other sins but not shirk (associating partners with Him). Abdullah reported that the Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever dies while calling upon a partner besides Allah will enter Hellfire" (Sahih al-Bukhari 4497). However, if they convert to Islam and stop committing shirk, Allah says, "Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them" (Qur'an 8:38).

We can understand three key points from this:
1. Those who die while associating anything with Allah will be forbidden from entering Paradise and will reside in Hell.
2. Those who repent for their sins, including shirk, will receive Allah's mercy.
3. Those who commit major sins but do not associate anything with Allah are subject to Allah's will. If Allah wills, He may punish or forgive them. If punished, their time in Hell will not be eternal; ultimately, they will find their way to Paradise.


Peace!

It must have been an incredibly impressive feat. In fact, it's surprising that scholars in Rome, Jerusalem etc didn’t document him as a genius for producing the Qur'an.

Just imagine the number of cities and teachers he would have needed to consult to come up with the Qur'an yet none of them recognised or recorded him as a scholar or an exceptional student. I mean his teacher would have clocked that from his writings and imaginations alone. For a man from Mecca, in an era without modern communication like the internet, that is an insane level of work and dedication. It is almost unbelievable.

Feldie:
where did he tell you that? Na your fellow guy man write those things

When he seeks for forgiveness, he is talks directly to God.

1. Jesus is a creation. Everything that comes to earth or heaven doesn't come except as a servant of the Almighty . None of the prophets in the bible before Jesus talked about original sin and needing God to come down to save them. They said the same thing prophet Muhammad said, ask God for forgiveness

2. Islam doesn't believe in original sin. Every child is born pure and is starting on a clean slate. I am not going to account for Adam's deeds. No one accounts for the deeds of their fathers or mothers in Islam. God can use us as trials against one another and that is where it ends.

Adam's story was a highlight about the nature of men. Immediately he realised his mistake and asked for forgiveness. He was forgiven and God told him that he has created forgiveness and his messengers as mercies to us. And that is salvation according to Islam

malvisguy212:
your salvation is not secure in Islam. Salvation is something ONLY GOD can do. But in Islam, man can save himself just by doing good work. Hence Jesus tell the Pharisees that even the pagan can do good work. Are they save. ?

In Christianity, we are justified by the finished work of Christ, in the court of God, the devil is the accusers, but Christ is the our defender.

As a Muslim, who is your defender? Muhammad ? The Quran say Muhammad is in hell fire. If you need proof I will give you.

Yes, if you truly repent and don't go back to disbelief

Ekrenji:

All sins including Shirk? Does Allah forgive Shirk too?

He forgives shirk too. Half of your religion started with pagans converting to Islam for goodness sake. That verse is for those who don't seek repentance. Shirk is a major sin.

There are sins that are forgiven without seeking forgiveness because they are expiated by good deeds. For example, each of the 5 daily prayers expatiate minor sins prior to that prayer but not major sins. Shirk or disbelief do not fall under that category unless you ask for forgiveness and you stop straying.

Almunjid:

Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away. (Qur'an 4:116)

Sounds like their cup of tea.

Pot calling the kettle black. Every accusation is a confession . For every Russian Africa Stream, there are 100s US African streams.

There several ways to seek Forgiveness

1. Asking forgiveness, there are prayers from the Qur'an you can say for example some of prophets prayers like Adam's, Musa's, Noah's etc
2. Giving charity with sincere hearts - repay your debts first
3. Kindness and patience to others and keeping family ties
4. Praying sunnah prayers
5. Praying voluntary prayers (nafl)
6. Waking up in the last third of the night and asking for forgiveness
7. Speaking good about people and minding your business
8. Patience with your parents especially your mother (doesn't matter if they are not Muslims)

Why are you to proclaim that someone is bound for hell? This someome that is truly repentant and seeking God's mercy.

If he owes millions of naira and he can't pay them back, he should still write it down and make it known to his family even after he dies. If they can pay it for him, Alhamdulilahi. If not, it doesn't mean he is bound for hell.

Which is why he needs to work on being a better person to others and a better servant to God.

FYI, Allah forgives all sins with true repentance. Where we can make amends, he enjoins that we make those amends. Forgiveness was created as a mercy to people.

"Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.1 He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Shueld06:


OP said he owe multiple banks…if he owe million of naira , and owe a lot of money to like 100 people, there’s no way he’s going to pay that. There’s no forgiveness for such thing, OP is bound for hell. Allah can only forgive sin done to him, but the sins done to others, I don’t think
So… I don’t think OP need to seek for any forgiveness, does he?

Wahshi killed the prophet's favourite uncle, Hamza. Hind chewed a part of Hamza, which was the worst part for the prophet. Both of them became Muslims years later and Wahshi is known to have been one of the companions of the prophet.


So yes he can still take shahada even if he killed people. However, it doesn't mean justice should not be served even if it were capital punishment unless the victim's
family forgives him.

Kamalex2:
Since you don't kill anyone before, bro you are welcome to islam

1. Won't you find it surprising to learn that historical figures like Bilal (a slave when he embraced Islam and the first man who came up with the adhan and was also the first man to call the adhan), embraced Islam before encountering the Prophet Muhammad. Common sense suggests that taking the shahada (profession of faith) extended beyond direct interaction with the prophet. Also, there are many instances where the Prophet commanded his companions to free Muslim slaves. Which is what the Hadith is most likely suggesting.

Additionally, the conclusion of that hadith isn't that the prophet refused to take slaves' allegiance

2. The practice of taking captives on the battlefield as slaves was common in pre and Islamic Arabia. These practices were rooted in historical and cultural practices.

Don't engage again. I won't reply to you.

cue001:
So you want follow a prophet that was a slave trader and his god permitted it? You're a full time Abdool

Sahih Muslim 1602
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported:

There came a slave and pledg- ed allegiance to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man)

Meeting these people and asking their forgiveness isn't set in stone. Although, it is advisable to ask for their forgiveness as well.

Kamalex2:


Almighty Allah said if you do something bad with me and you asked for forgiveness, emi Allah ni oba alaforinjin and I'm ready to forgive your sin, but the things you do to others people, God says you better settle it with he /she before you dead if he/she forgiving you Alhamdulilah, but if not they will be waiting for you at the entrance in the day of judgment, then you don't have any other choice than to settled them, that's why we need to do a good deeds while we are still alive because of the day of pay back

Please take your shahada as soon as you can, seek for forgiveness from the people you have offended (where you can) and God himself.

As for your debts, please write them down and try to pay them back as much as you can. Let your family know and give instructions for payment after death if you have properties left.

It is advisable in Islam to pay back your debts before you are buried.

He is a Christian

Hahahahaha

This guy should just open an OnlyFans page and make money from porn. It's like his brain is dried from pornography and sex because he is always in the news for sexual controversy.


This is why Islam is harmful because their hypocritical teachings do not allow their faithfuls to explore things in their youth. Most Islamic old men are perverted due to this youthful deprivance.


Check all the pro-rape countries - they are mostly Islamic.

Muslims cannot inherit non-Muslims automatically and vice versa. Unfortunately, if a deceased inheritance is shared according to Islamic law, good luck to people who haven't thought it through.

The government is not helping as well. Nothing on sensitisation. Nothing on anything actually, not drugs, not bleaching, not abuse of drugs..nothing. It is disheartening.

pocohantas:


True! Nigeria's case has to be nipped in the bud as there seems to be too many rape news these days. These are the reported ones. One can only imagine the unreported.




It is not just movie, it actually happens. One time I was forced to read extensively on their case. Even tourists, they will rape. No one is spared. Very anyhow people.

Mostly culture and law enforcement.

India appears to be more dangerous sexist beliefs and attitudes than China.

pocohantas:


Why won't they be? After encouraging gendercide for years because they prefer male kids to females. They now have an unbalanced gender ratio and are taking it out on the few available women. Same gendercide was encouraged in China. I would have to find out why Chinese men are not as illbehaved. Maybe stricter laws.

I am fully invested in this conversation..

Saudi Arabia scholars are at it again

No part of Islamic history encourages Muslim to stand back and let unrighteous people continue their oppression. None, not a single one! No verse of the Qur'an encourages us to stand back in oppression as well.

Actually, the Muslims that choose to believe that protests are not right aren't new, but this time around Tinubu has conveniently managed to project that belief for the first time in Nigeria

mobileboy:
All I see is pure hypocrisy
During Jonathan era no single prominent islamic voice is against the protest

Up till now so many protests are happening in uk, us and Europe in solidarity with Iran none of you ever called them out that it's not the way to go

Top Muslims like Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku even led protest in 2012 yet they were called sai Baba rather than haram Baba

If what we have as president is a Southern Christian trust the protest to be worse, if it's southern Muslims the protest will be moderate and if its northern Muslims it will be no protest

Is that what your quran thought you

See terrorist Basir Ahmed post when protest is halal

Not surprising.

They have quite a wide range of cuisines and that would have influenced their palates.

Mariangeles:
I'd say it's a good review.
The neighbour represented Africa well.


Nigerians and their busybody though.
They should let Ghanaians breeeathe.

An engineer and a doctor? What a genius!

That is actually not true.

They were naked until they ate the fruit that opened their eyes and they noticed each other's unclothedness and rushed to cover themselves with leaves when they were casted away.

Which is exactly what is happening today, our eyes have opened and it is a sex fueled world. unclothedness is no longer the default.

kayperry:



And whats wrong walking around nake, is that not Gods default plan for mankind before one gurl manipulated the snake to change settings

50 years from now, we would be walking around naked and we are going to say it is freedom of choice.

pocohantas:
The time they spent at the entrance wasn't as shameful as the outfits they had on and the reactions it brought them. You could clearly see the aerola of the taller lady falling out.

How do you buy fabric and give a tailor to sew this? It doesn't look nice for a start.

I tweeting but of history you might not have learned in Sunday school.

Jews pray with their heads to the floor, three times a day according to the position of the sun. Like Muslims by the way.

An older Christian sect like the orthodox Christians have a ritual prayer where they touch their heads to the floor till date.

Modern Christianity is inconsistent with how God prescribed prayers to the followers of Moses. In fact it is inconsistent with a lot of things God prescribed to Moses. Moses was the first messenger to be given a complete system, a total way of worship of how religion should guide almost all matters of one's life.
