Do we still have men who breath that agree to no sex till marriage 🤣😆🤣😆

Jokers!

Just go and date Jesus if you want that kinda of contract.

It is the appropriate to put sex on hold in a relationship before you marry; but do not be fooled when you hear such a statement, as it may come from a deceiver.

Things to note on "No Sex Till Marriage".

(1) Will the person saying "No Sex Till Marriage" be sleeping with someone else and preserving you for marriage.

(2) Is the person saying "No Sex Till Marriage" a sex addict.

(3) When last did the person saying "No Sex Till Marriage" had sex? If its a year ago, the person may be real. If its just a month ago, the person may not be able to keep it.

(4) Is the person a Virgin? A virgin may sustain such.

My salesgirl understands my business to the point I am considering to just make her my family.

I don't do an easy business and I am looking to scale, which means someone that understands this business is vital for that to happen and preferably a family member.

Now I am thinking of marrying her and also in the process leaving the relationship/dating market that is a distraction.

I don't have issues whatsoever with this my salesgirl in terms of character and even accountability, she's just perfect in those aspects, but my problem is her age.

Right now, I am just thinking of taking this decision of killing 2 birds with a stone might just be the best for me, one is settling down and two is marrying someone that understands my business.

Is a 29 year old man too big for an 18 year old girl? What's the general public perception of it?

PS: For the main time, I haven't made moves on her. But my interviews on her so far shows she's not looking to enter the high institution anytime soon (probably due to funds). But if I become comfortable with the age gap that is my major concern, I'd make moves on her and see if it will be possible. I'm trying to assess general views on marrying girls in their teen like her.

Politicians transitioning to royalty. I don't know how that makes me feel.
That is why the Benin Monarchy has more respect than a lot of these others. The monarchy is bloodline, not ruling houses. This eliminates the possibility of political interference and hijack.

Nice2023:
Foolish man.

U died because another man was having ur wife allegedly,

Now,u have given them the opportunity to finish off the work they started.

Any man or woman who dies in this manner is a fool...because it means u don't love ur children.

That u died because of a woman...I don't get it.

May his soul rest in peace.

It is obvious when Tenq and his cousin Gabrielshow post replies that are not discernable in legible manner they have no real points.

They are frustrated at the futility of their arguments.

They have some time ahead of them to know and live by the real truth.

The almighty is one and has no divisions in roles or functions.

You see how you contradict yourself?

Without knowing and understanding the Arabic grammar rules you say the scholars have reinterpreted. This is nothing but your own deceit.

You don't have a defensible truth?

Another expert at turning the truth upside down with lies.

The truth requires sincerity, humility, and understanding of context and language.

Rather than accuse others of hating the truth or lying,it’s better to engage honestly with the texts, the grammar, and the centuries of scholarship both Islamic and otherwise that uphold the coherence and beauty of the Quran in Arabic language.

I never condemned the Quran but you for your failure to produce something like the Quran more so with your ignorance of rules in arabic grammar.



If you are truthful as you claim directly address and assess the submission regarding your error on Quran 9:31 above and stop deluding yourself and trying to do same for others

mfm04622:
China won't, China doesn't believe in war to achieve their objectives! A weak Russia beholden to China that will still be a threat to the US its the best outcome for China

So this is a nothing burger.

Trump is just upset Putin is no longer giving him the attention he's been craving, so he's lashing out at Medvedev.

CreativeOrbit:
Your arrogance is astounding. You cherry-pick Qur'anic verses out of context and then claim superior knowledge over 1.8 billion Muslims. The Qur'an itself is the greatest miracle given to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — a literary, linguistic, and prophetic miracle unmatched to this day.

And your claim that Allah gave “no signs” shows either gross ignorance or deliberate distortion. Read properly: Surah Al-Ankabut (29:50–51) refutes your argument directly. When they asked for signs, Allah responded that the Qur'an itself is sufficient as a miracle and guidance.

> “They say: ‘Why have signs not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.’ Is it not sufficient for them that We have sent down to you the Book…” (Qur’an 29:50–51)



Stop pretending you care for truth — if Jesus performed miracles, did that make him God? Then why deny Muhammad’s ﷺ miracle just because it’s not magic tricks for entertainment?

What you call “no signs” is your lack of understanding, not the absence of divine proof.

Keep failing at your attempts to twist the Quran like your ancestors did with the scripture. You should have better use for your intellectual ignorance.

The sentence is grammatically deficient, semantically ambiguous, and missing the essential concluding subject or object required to construct a coherent statement in the style of the Quran.

Alfaab:
Several verses in the Quran mention Allah giving signs or miracles to Prophet Muhammad, but there isn't a single chapter dedicated solely to this topic. Instead, these mentions are scattered throughout the Quran. Some examples include Surah Al-Imran (3:144), Al-Ahzab (33:40), Muhammad (47:2), and Al-Fath (48:29), which refer to him as a messenger or prophet without explicitly stating a specific sign.
Other verses highlight the miracles of other prophets as examples, which can be seen as indirect signs of God's power and favor, and thus relevant to the broader theme of divine signs. For example, Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:32-33) discusses the story of Cain and Abel, which is presented as a sign of God's judgment and justice.
Additionally, verses like Surah Fussilat (41:3) emphasize the importance of reflecting on God's signs in creation (e.g., the heavens and earth, night and day, rain) as guidance for believers, indirectly connecting these natural phenomena to the broader concept of divine revelation.

Ohyoudidnt:
You ignored my more serious question to further display ignorance?

The sentence is grammatically deficient, semantically ambiguous, and missing the essential concluding subject or object required to construct a coherent statement in the style of the Quran.

So there you have another failure of yours to write anything like the Quran

Ohyoudidnt:
It is worth noting that Aisha (RA) was married at a young age, a practice that was, in fact, commonplace across the globe, including in Europe, during that era. However, it's crucial to understand that Islam mandates both physical puberty and mental maturity before the consummation of marriage, as stipulated by the condition of maturity in the Qur'an 4:6.

Furthermore, Islam categorically prohibits harm, abuse, and coercion, and child marriage is not only illegal but also not practiced in the majority of Muslim countries today.

Ohyoudidnt:
On a separate note, the concept of suicide bombing or terrorism is a gross distortion of Islamic teachings, as suicide is explicitly forbidden in the Qur'an 4:29, which states, 'Do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is Merciful to you.' Additionally, killing innocent people is considered a major sin, as emphasized in the Qur'an 5:32, 'Whoever kills a soul… it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.'

Ohyoudidnt:
It's also important to address the misconception surrounding Taqiyya, which, in Shi'a jurisprudence, refers to concealing one's faith under duress, and not as a license to lie.

In Sunni Islam, lying is only permissible in situations where it can save a life, and not for the purpose of deception or manipulation.

Ohyoudidnt:
The Jizya Tax, often misunderstood, was actually a small tax imposed on non-Muslim citizens under Islamic rule in exchange for military protection and exemption from war duty, and it's worth noting that Muslims themselves paid Zakat, which was often more. When it comes to evidence for the existence of Allah, Islam presents multiple layers of evidence, including rational arguments such as the fine-tuning of the universe, the origin of life, and the universal moral instinct, all of which point to the existence of a Wise Creator.

Ohyoudidnt:
The Qur'an itself appeals to reason, as seen in the verse, 'Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?' (Qur'an 52:35). Moreover, the revelation of the Qur'an, with its unmatched linguistic style, preservation, fulfilled prophecies, and influence, remains unparalleled, and the challenge still stands, 'If you are in doubt… produce a surah like it' (Qur'an 2:23), a challenge that has yet to be met.

Ohyoudidnt:
The realm of spiritual experience is one where millions of individuals have reported finding peace, transformation, and guidance through the practices of prayer and engagement with the Qur'an.

It's worth noting that not all forms of evidence are tangible or measurable by conventional means, much like the intangible yet undeniable realities of love, consciousness, and morality yet these are experiences that, while not necessarily quantifiable through laboratory tools, are nonetheless profoundly real.

Ohyoudidnt:
Throughout history, various groups, including the Israelites and Muslims, have witnessed miracles, yet the observation of such phenomena has never been a guarantee of faith. As the Qur'an so eloquently states, even if one were to be granted a celestial gateway and ascend through it, they might still remain skeptical, saying, 'Our eyes have been dazzled...' (Qur'an 15:14-15).

Ohyoudidnt:
Islam, rather than demanding blind faith, encourages a path of reason, reflection, and subsequent submission of the heart. For those who genuinely seek truth, unencumbered by the desire for argumentation, the promise is that Allah will illuminate their heart, as expressed in the Hadith - Musnad Ahmad, 'Whoever seeks the truth sincerely, Allah will guide them.'
Lastly, the spiritual experience of millions of people, who have found peace and transformation through their faith, serves as a testament to the power and truth of Islam.

Alfaab:
No, the Quran does not state that Prophet Muhammad was not given any miracles. While the Quran emphasizes Muhammad's role as a human messenger and does not focus on elaborate miraculous displays, it also contains verses that can be interpreted as referring to miracles or events that defied natural laws.

The Quran primarily highlights Muhammad's role as a warner and emphasizes the Quran itself as a sufficient sign for those who seek guidance.

The Quran records instances where Muhammad's contemporaries demanded specific miracles, like causing a spring to gush forth or creating a golden house. Muhammad refused to fulfill these requests, stating that prophets cannot produce miracles without God's permission and that the regularities of nature are sufficient proof.

Some verses, while not explicitly calling them miracles, are interpreted by some as referring to miraculous events. For example, Quran 17:90-93 describes requests for miracles that are not explicitly denied as impossible.
Subsequent Islamic tradition, particularly the Hadith and Sira, contain numerous narratives of miracles attributed to Muhammad.

While the Quran does not dwell on miracles in the same way as some other religious texts, verses like Quran 53:1-18 and 54:1, are interpreted by some as referring to the Isra and Mi'raj (Muhammad's Night Journey and Ascension), which is considered a miraculous event.

Ohyoudidnt:
Despite your customary diversion from thread subjects this might be the only thing mistakenly associated to the thread.

The conjunction "wa" (وَ) in this context serves as a coordinating particle, linking Jesus to the enumeration of figures erroneously venerated, such as rabbis, monks, and Jesus himself.

Notably, the term "Al-Masih" appears in the accusative case (mansub) الْمَسِيحَ rather than the nominative (marfu), indicating its role as part of the object rather than the subject. This grammatical nuance underscores that Jesus is counted among those mistakenly elevated as lords, not omitted.

Arabic syntax leaves no ambiguity. Jesus is grouped with the falsely worshipped, not aligned with Allah as a rightful recipient of devotion. The conjunction "wa" (and) associates Jesus with the misattributed lords, not with Allah as a co-equal deity.

If you have no superior Arabic explanation against the above stop displaying illogical arrogance. Accept the error in over veneration of Jesus and the Holy spirit along side the one and only ultimate God

Ohyoudidnt:
Your usual criticism of Islam mixed with accusatory tone, sarcasm, and offensive content.

Allah isn't just a body or a being trapped within creation, even if He can be seen or heard.

Muslims don’t believe that Allah is merely a spirit, either. He exists beyond any physical form, spirit, or any category we can create.

Allah can show signs or forms that help us understand Him, similar to what we see in the Bible.

Hadith emphasize His transcendence rather than His physicality. While it’s said, “He is above the Throne,” it’s also clear that He isn’t limited by space.

Mut’ah was once permitted and seems to be mentioned in Qur’an 4:24.

Sunnis hold that the Prophet later prohibited it, with Umar enforcing that ban rather than introducing something new.

On the other hand, Shi’a Muslims argue that there’s no abrogation in the Qur’an, suggesting that Umar went against divine revelation.

The main difference between the two groups is about who holds the ultimate authority: Hadith/Sunnah for Sunnis or a literal interpretation of the Qur’an combined with Imamate for Shi’a

Alfaab:
Where did Allah say he gave no miracle to Prophet Muhammed?

Alfaab:
There were lots of miracles that happened relating to Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
There was the splitting of the moon.
The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a significant event in Islam, attributed to the prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, the moon was split into two halves as a sign for the disbelievers. This event is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2). The event is interpreted as a sign of God's power and a confirmation of Muhammad's prophethood.

Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2) states, "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split [in two]".

Many hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) elaborate on this event, describing how the Prophet pointed to the moon and it split into two visible halves. Some accounts specify that the split was observed on the mountain of Abu Qubays.

The splitting of the moon is understood as a sign or miracle, intended to demonstrate the truth of Muhammad's prophethood to those who doubted him.

Ohyoudidnt:
How can I recognize Allah when I see Him?
So, here’s the thing: according to some authentic hadiths like the ones in Sahih al-Bukhari (7439),believers will actually recognize Allah in the Hereafter, but it won’t be about how He looks. Instead, it’s more about specific signs, you know? Things like the uncovering of the Shin or His speech and authority. It’s a recognition that Allah grants, not something we earn just by thinking about it in this world. Kind of like how Moses recognized God’s calling without actually seeing Him (Exodus 3). For Muslims, it’s really about divine revelation, not biology or physical appearances.

Ohyoudidnt:
Why do Muslims not recognize Allah in the first shape?
You know, this is addressed in several hadiths too (like Bukhari 6573). When believers first encounter Allah in a form they don't expect, it’s not that they’re confused between Allah and Satan. It’s actually a test of sincerity and discernment. Allah says:
"Faces that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord." (Qur’an 75:22-23)
So, Allah tests His servants by showing up in a way they don’t anticipate, and then He confirms His identity. This isn’t saying that Allah is a physical being; it’s about how His presence is shown differently for the purpose of judgment. The Prophet, peace be upon him, used this to illustrate Allah’s uniqueness and to gauge the sincerity of believers.
Was Allah the shape or was He inside it?
Now, this question sort of assumes Allah is limited by space like His creation, which Islam definitely denies. Allah isn’t confined to any form, nor does He “enter” His creation. When He appears in a certain form in the Hereafter, it’s more like a perception He chooses, rather than some kind of physical body. Really, there’s nothing like Him. (Qur’an 42:11)

Ohyoudidnt:
Do Muslims follow scholars over Allah and Muhammad?

That’s a common misconception. Scholars aren’t infallible, and Muslims aren’t required to follow them blindly. The Prophet, peace be upon him, taught, and his companions preserved that knowledge. Scholars interpret based on the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Consensus is valued because the Prophet himself praised the majority and warned against introducing new things into the faith. True scholarship isn’t about rebelling against Allah or the Prophet; it’s about understanding and applying their teachings across generations.

Ohyoudidnt:
Where in the Qur’an is Mutʿah abrogated?

Mutʿah, or temporary marriage, was actually abrogated during the Prophet's lifetime. Muslims acknowledge his authority based on the Qur’an:
"Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it." (Qur’an 59:7)
Plus, there were several companions—like Ali ibn Abi Talib and Ibn Umar—who narrated this abrogation, showing it was something the early Muslims were aware of.
What abrogated Mutʿah if not the Qur’an?
Well, it was the Prophet Muhammad himself who abrogated Mutʿah, and his command is considered binding under the Qur’anic mandate (59:7). There are several sahih hadith that confirm this:
Hadith Evidence:
In Sahih Muslim 1406a, he said: "O people, I had permitted you Mutʿah, but now Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Judgment," narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib and others.
In Sahih al-Bukhari 5115, which comes from Sabra al-Juhani, it’s noted that "The Messenger of Allah permitted us to do Mutʿah during the conquest of Mecca, then he prohibited it forever."
And in Muslim 1405, it mentions that the Prophet prohibited Mutʿah at Khaybar.
Some narrations even suggest it was allowed early in Islam under specific hardships—like during war—but was eventually made permanently forbidden.
Scholarly Consensus (Ijmaʿ)
All four Sunni madhhabs; Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali agree that Mutʿah is haram after the Prophet abrogated it.

The Twelver Shia, however, argue that it’s still allowed, claiming Umar’s ijtihad was the cause of the abrogation. But Sunni sources clearly show it was the Prophet who made that change, and Umar only enforced it during his caliphate.

Ohyoudidnt:
Will Muslims be in Hell temporarily?

So, the Qur'an, specifically in 19:71–72, says something pretty profound: "And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees."

Most scholars interpret this to mean that people will pass over the Fire on the Sirat bridge rather than actually entering Hell.

Some do believe that sinful Muslims might end up in Hell for a bit, but the exact duration? Only Allah knows that.

What we do know is that those with genuine faith will eventually find salvation. It’s really about divine justice and mercy, isn’t it?

The crux of these verses? It’s all about the difference between the saved and those who are left behind.

Salvation is promised to those who have lived with taqwa, or God-consciousness, and who’ve made an effort to do good. This aligns with the broader Islamic teaching that our ultimate judgment hinges on our faith and actions.

Now, it’s worth noting that interpretations can differ quite a bit, and how these verses are understood can change depending on various theological views within Islam. But at the end of the day, the message is one of hope and mercy for those striving to live by Islamic principles.

Ohyoudidnt:
Now, let’s talk about the evidence for Allah being God.
Islam doesn’t just lean on historical witnesses though the miracles of the Prophet play a part. Instead, the Qur'an offers both internal and external signs, like:
1. Preservation: We’re talking about a book that’s been memorized and recited the same way for over 1400 years.

Ohyoudidnt:
2. Linguistic miracle: The style, structure, and literary depth? Unmatched.

Ohyoudidnt:
3. Fulfilled prophecies: Like the victory of the Romans mentioned in the Qur'an (30) and the conquest of Mecca.

Ohyoudidnt:
4. Consistency with natural law: It encourages us to observe, reflect, and really study the universe around us.

Ohyoudidnt:
5. Spiritual transformation: The Qur'an has this incredible power to change hearts, unite tribes, and even reshape entire civilizations.
These aren’t just claims they’re experiences and evidence you can verify.

Ohyoudidnt:
You might wonder, "The Israelites had eyewitness proof; where’s Islam’s?" Well, here’s the thing: Prophets of Israel faced rejection, too, despite their miracles. Think about it. Moses’ followers still worshipped the calf! The Qur'an is seen as a linguistic, prophetic, moral, and preservational miracle.
It’s public, global, and you can test it today, unlike those one-time miracles from ancient history. Even the Qur'an states, "This is insight from your Lord, a guidance and mercy..." (Qur'an 7:203).
The real test isn’t about whether you actually saw a miracle, but whether you’re open to engaging with it sincerely.

Demanding a miracle you can see assumes that God needs to act like His creation to be credible. But Islam teaches that Allah reveals Himself through revelation, not by showing up in human form. Faith is meant to engage both reason and trust not just what you can see.

And remember, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

The Qur'an echoes this sentiment: “We will show them Our signs in the horizons and in themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.” (Qur'an 41:53).

Ohyoudidnt:
Allah's shape and visibility have been subjects of discussion, with authentic hadiths suggesting that He will appear in a recognizable form to believers, albeit later becoming unrecognizable - a notion that Sunni orthodoxy affirms, while emphasizing that Allah can be seen without modality, meaning He doesn't resemble creation or possess a physical shape like created beings; in fact, the term 'shape' used here doesn't imply a body or limit, and isn't comparable to human form, as stated in Surah Ash-Shura 42:11, which says, 'There is nothing like unto Him.'

Furthermore, the concept of Allah's shape is often misunderstood, and it's essential to approach this topic with a deep understanding of Islamic theology. The two hands of Allah, as mentioned in the Qur'an, where it's stated that Allah created Adam with His two hands (Surah 38:75), are attributes that we affirm without likening them to human limbs, a position held by early scholars like Imam Malik and Ahmad ibn Hanbal, who said, 'The attribute is known, the how is unknown, belief in it is obligatory, and asking about it is an innovation.'

Ohyoudidnt:
Additionally, the idea that Muslims prioritize scholars over Allah is a misconception. Muslim scholars are merely tools for understanding what Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) revealed, and when Muslims follow ijma' (scholarly consensus), it's because the Prophet commanded it, as stated in the Hadith, 'My Ummah will never agree upon error' (Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2167), and scholars don't overwrite revelation, but rather interpret it through the Quran and Sunnah.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also explained the five daily prayers in authentic hadith, which the Qur'an alludes to but doesn't fully enumerate, and Mut'ah (temporary marriage) was initially permitted but later abrogated by the Prophet himself, a legislative act that Muslims accept as valid.

Ohyoudidnt:
Lastly, regarding the verse in the Qur'an (19:71) that states everyone will enter Hell, it's essential to consider the next verse, which clarifies that 'Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it,' and early scholars interpreted this as crossing over Hell via the Sirat (bridge), not entering into it bodily, a matter of tafsir that isn't universally agreed upon, and therefore, not a contradiction.

Ohyoudidnt:
Evidence Supporting the Validity of the Quran and Islam The Quran offers a combination of internal proofs such as its linguistic brilliance, moral guidance, and prophetic accuracy—alongside external validations, including historical consistency, scientific insights, and unparalleled preservation. It boldly invites skeptics to replicate even a single chapter of its caliber (Qur’an 2:23), a challenge that remains unmet. Beyond mere assertions, the Quran’s transformative impact on individuals, its role in shaping civilizations, and the fulfillment of its prophecies stand as undeniable testimonies to its divine origin. Unlike other religious texts, the Quran is a self-validating miracle, preserved in its original form without alteration.

Ohyoudidnt:
Very well you have argued the same thing thereby having me repeat myself. Then you have digressed into other questions you have repeated for years yet the answers aren't different except for your fixation that the answers will somehow change yet you have no new proof to enable this. Welll good luck.

Something like October 7 was going to happen regardless.

I would like you to answer this simple question honestly: If someone from Congo came to your home and claimed that their ancestors settled there 2,000 years ago, asserting that they have the right to live in your house, and when you confronted them, they responded with violence and killed your entire family—how would you react?
