NafeesaAA: How are prisoners of war treated in Islam?
Islam is the religion of mercy and justice; it commands us to call others to the religion of Allaah in a kind and good manner, and to encourage people to enter this great religion.

Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Ibn ‘Abbaas said: in those days their prisoners were mushrikeen; on the day of Badr the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded them to be kind to their prisoners, so they used to put them before themselves when it came to food… Mujaahid said, this refers to the one who is detained, i.e., they would give food to these prisoners even though they themselves desired it and loved it.”

Mutilating the body or beheading of a prisoner as done by Boko haram: it is not permitted to punish a prisoner by cutting off any part of his body or breaking any of his bones. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade mutilation of prisoners-of-war and said:
“Do not mutilate.” (Narrated by Muslim, 3/1357).

The Muslims were Commanded, 1500 years ago, to feed the prisoners of war " for the love of Allah" and to tell them: Allah Almighty Said:

"They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day
Whose evil flies far and wide. And they feed , for
the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the
captive -- (Saying), ' We feed you For the sake of
Allah alone : No reward do we desire from you, nor
thanks. ' (The Noble Quran, 76:7-9) "

" O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: 'If Allah
findeth any good in your hearts, He will Give you something better
than what has been taken from you, and He will Forgive you: for
Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. But if they have treacherous
designs against thee, (O Messenger!), they have already been in
treason against Allah, and so hath He given (thee) power over them.
And Allah is He who hath (Full) knowledge and wisdom. (The Noble
Quran, 8:70-71) "


When the Muslims won the first battle of Islam against the Pagans, the battle Badr, our Prophet peace be upon him told his captives that whoever wants to earn his freedom he must teach 10 illiterate Muslims how to read and write, and he will then be set free.

NafeesaAA: Muslims not only can't kill their captives, but they also must feed them for the "love of Allah" .
Our Prophet peace be upon him forgave the enemies of Islam.
When the Muslims liberated Mecca from the Pagan Arabs, and the
Pagans' army gave up, because they were widely out numbered by
the Muslims, our Prophet peace be upon him said his very famous
word that was taught to us in schools:
"Go, you are free."

Boss13: Please I don't know if this is the right section to post this but I need the assistance of the moderator to take this to front page.

I have been at the airport since 2pm and I am currently at the airport while typing this. I am suppose to travel to Abuja from Lagos. Since afternoon, we have not heard from Arik air. No news, nothing. I have wasted valuable time. My appointments and meetings in Abuja cancelled. We are hearing rumours that they don't have fuel.

I have spent over N10k for lunch and dinner and I don't know if I will be eating breakfast in this lagos airport. I am tired, stressed out and cannot imagine going through Lagos traffic to go back home.

Please note that this is not the first time Arik is delaying flights without even apologizing. Sometimes I even waste some time because I know they delay their flights regularly. However, this is the height of it all. Come and see how we look like refugees at the airport.

I will advise everyone not to fly Arik again oh. I will never try it at all. Now I am even hungry again and I don't know if this airport restaurant will charge me another 6K per plate of rubbish.

Moderator please abeg front page. I am almost losing my mind.
