akinsmail51: Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
In their response to calamities, people fall into many ranks:
1. One who is grateful
2. One who shows acceptance and contentment
3. One who is patient
4. One who panics.
As for the one who panics, he is doing something that is prohibited and is expressing discontent with the decree of the Lord of the Worlds, in Whose hand is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, His is the dominion and He does whatever He wills.
As for the one who is patient, he is doing that which is obligatory. The one who is patient is the one who puts up with calamity. In other words, he finds it bitter and difficult and hard, and he dislikes it befalling him, but he puts up with it and restrains himself from saying or doing anything that is prohibited. This is what is obligatory.
As for the one who shows acceptance and contentment, he is the one who does not worry about this calamity, for he sees that it is from Allah, so he accepts it with complete acceptance and feels no sorrow or regret in his heart, because he is completely content. His situation is better than that of the one who is merely patient.
As for the one who is grateful, he gives thanks to Allah for this calamity.
But how can he give thanks to Allah for this calamity, when it is a calamity?
The answer is twofold:
Firstly, he looks at those who are afflicted with a greater calamity, and he gives thanks to Allah that he has not been afflicted with such a level of calamity.
Secondly, he realises that this calamity has befallen him as expiation for his bad deeds and to raise him in status, if he is patient, and what awaits him in the hereafter is better than what is in this world, so he gives thanks to Allah.
Moreover, those who are most sorely tested among the people are Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best, then the next best. So he hopes that he is one of the righteous, and he gives thanks to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for this blessing.
Giving thanks for calamities is mustahabb, because it is superior to acceptance, for gratitude includes acceptance and more.
End quote from ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ (5/395-396)
Better topic should be how Mozulems respond when they create calamities 🙄
franchasofficia: They mocked him when he won 2023 Presidential election that INEC criminally rigged and declared Tinubu as winner.
Honest Nigerians from all tribes and regions know that Obi won 2023 Presidential election.
When PDP was reigning Supreme and in absolute control of federal government and all the agencies, and with Obasanjo and all PDP Presidents doing everything possible to win Lagos state, they couldn't win Lagos state.
Obi that declared his interest to run for President in less than 10 months to the election under a structure less party that had no LGA Chairman, no Councilor, no House of Assembly member, no House of Reps member, no Senator, no Governor, didn't even had offices in all the LGA's in Nigeria defeated Tinubu in Lagos state where Tinubu reigns supreme even with Tinubu's party being the ruling party both at state and federal levels.
Obi defeated Tinubu in Abuja the FCT.
Obi defeated Tinubu in far away Nasarawa, Rivers and several other states.
Does it mean that it was only Igbos that voted for Obi in Lagos for him to win? If that is so, then it means Igbos are the highest population in Lagos which is not true. So you see?
Leave the talk of Obi will never be President for God to decide because neither you nor myself is God. We are only mere mortals and can only wish based on our bias emotions, but we must be careful not to wish things that may turnaround to hurt our own personal life for no justifiable reason other than to shalaye online
Dude you’re wasting your time trying to explain things to yoruba Mozulem pigoids. They know the truth but that inherent extremism and dangerous stupidity that comes with Islam will continue to keep them in the dark.
APCNig: The Eguns have always been 10th Class citizens in Yoruba land.
And in what class does yoruba Mozulem pigoids like you fall?? Just when I think your kind can’t be any stupider y’all surprise me with even deeper levels of dangerous stupidity!
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel. Starting with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, who visited the northern border of Israel and conducted an assessment of the situation in the command center of the 146th Division. Galant spoke to the soldiers, saying: “Hamas fighters are receiving severe blows and we are advancing everywhere. 13 Hamas leaders were killed and we will reach everyone, commanders and field fighters.”
He added: "The Hamas leadership is responsible for this matter, and we will reach Yahya Sinwar and eliminate him. The war fronts are wide." He continued: "We have no intention of entering a war with Hezbollah. We are here on defense. However, if Nasrallah makes Sinwar's mistake and drags Hezbollah into the war, it will have bad consequences for Lebanon and will destroy Lebanon."
Regarding the duration of the military operation, Galant said: “This operation continues step by step and professionally. One thing we say to the Israeli people is that after this war, there will be no Hamas.” For his part, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, said on Saturday evening that the brigades documented the destruction of 24 Israeli military vehicles, including a tank, a troop carrier, and a bulldozer, during the past 48 hours. He added in an audio speech, "We are fighting an unequal war, but it will be studied in the world."
He continued, saying, "Our fighters continue to circle behind the enemy forces and engage from zero distance with its soldiers." Abu Ubaida said, "We launched strikes with guided anti-armor missiles on the southern axis of Gaza City this evening." He added that the Brigades introduced into service "home-made Al-Yassin anti-fortified missiles, which aimed to finish off Israeli forces."
On the other hand, after significant international pressure on Israel to allow aid and fuel to enter the besieged Gaza Strip, Israel informed the United States of a plan to deliver fuel to southern Gaza under international monitoring in the event that more hospitals are out of service, two Israeli officials told Axios. Humanitarian organizations have been calling for weeks to allow fuel to enter the Strip, pointing to hospitals that have closed their doors or are at risk due to the severe fuel shortage.
Following the attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel imposed a “total blockade” on Gaza, cutting off electricity and preventing the passage of fuel, food and medical supplies into the Strip. In recent weeks, Israel has allowed a limited number of trucks carrying supplies into Gaza from Egypt, but has so far refused to allow fuel into the Strip, due to fears that Hamas might take the fuel.
IDF Chief of Staff General Herzi Halevy said on Thursday that Israel would transport fuel to hospitals with monitoring when needed. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday after his meeting with Secretary of State Tony Blinken that Israel will not allow any fuel to enter Gaza. However, the sources said there is a discussion to find a way to provide fuel to Gaza if Israel deems it is needed. Israeli officials, in cooperation with experts from international relief organizations, calculated the amount of fuel required to operate hospitals and other vital facilities for a short and limited period of time. According to the plan submitted to the United States, which requires approval by the Israeli Defense Cabinet, fuel tankers from Egypt will enter the Gaza Strip with a specified amount of fuel sufficient to operate hospitals and other humanitarian facilities for a specified period of time.
Each fuel tanker will be accompanied by a United Nations team that will closely monitor it and ensure that the fuel is delivered to hospitals for its intended purpose. Israeli officials said that when fuel runs out again, the operation will take place again for another short and limited period of time.
Finally, the Foreign Policy website presented a new Israeli plan to storm Hamas tunnels under the Gaza Strip, which includes Tel Aviv sending drones into Hamas tunnels. Israel is studying this possibility with the aim of not risking its forces. Military analysts believe that achieving this plan is difficult for several reasons, including that the tunnel is the worst place for marches. The narrow environment is full of obstacles, and any movement could break the propeller blade and disrupt the marches. In addition, drones usually rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is already inoperable underground. Radio waves also do not travel through obstacles, so the operator will lose contact with the drone once it is out of sight.
The report also revealed that some technology companies are proposing the use of anti-collision sensors, fan blades surrounded by protective cages, and relying on intelligent programs known as simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM, which is very similar to what humans do instinctively, that is, creating a mental image of a place with the aim of finding the way. Easily without needing a map.

yoruba Mozulem pigoids and online begging like 5 and 6. Shey you don lost your ronu card ni 🙄
This hurt, really.. You asked me to paste my details hoping I've seen a helper then you ended up insulting my tribe and religioun.. Humans .
I hope you'll need help desperately someday and you'll be denied of the help because of your religion or your tribe, only then you'll realise how painful it is..
Thank you one more.
Come on na! You and your kind are the reason you’re on Nairaland right now looking for handouts! Don’t hate me… Hate yourself and your kind 🙄
MasterJayJay: The preferential treatment given to muslims on this site is becoming shameful..
Atheists and muslims insult Christianity here without getting banned. But Jmoore was banned for his comment against islam. And the mod said he violated rule 2 "Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES."
Religion is not in rule 2. The moderators here mirrors the justice system of Nigeria where 4th became governor of Imo state.
I really don’t know what y’all are still doing on this dead forum when there’s lots of fun to be had on Twitter!
OgThanos: Hi guys.. Please, I need someone to lend me a sum of 55k, and I'll pay 22k monthly for 3 months. Starting from this month end. I live in lagos
pandoragirigory: Igbos, I wish I can return Peter girigory Obi stolen manhood but just accept the woeful defeat of your lord and savior Peter girigory Obi in good faith
Post is about arrested yoruba priest being forced to bow to his Fulani master but of course dingBAT Jnr made it about Peter Obi. yoruba Mozulem pigoids and dangerous stupidity fa!
TheEndless: But why did yoruba Mozulem pigoids not oink and ronu for one of their own na. Is it because they are forever predestined to be Fulani slaves??!
Tochitee: Ibos," the timid people of Nigeria. I remember many of them saying they would burn down Nigeria if Tinubu is made the president . On the day of declaration, they were hiding under their beds cheesy cheesy grin. All eyes on judiciary,as turned to all eyes on Chicago. Mumu people. I wonder the crime they committed that God refuses to forgive them. They keeps on labouring in vains. Thank God for putting them under the Yorubas. From now till eternity they will continue to be under the Yorubas. Any attempt to overstepped where we placed them will always incure serious consequences.
Legalize guns and see all these nonsense end. The average Nigerian criminal (including the ‘legal’ ones) is a coward, if he knows that there’s a chance that he will not come back alive from an onslaught he won’t even think about it.
All that bulk makes him impervious to all but the hardest blows.
It will take a heavyweight boxer or MMA fighter, huge judoka or a frickin sumo wrestler to take this dude down hand to hand.
Anything short of that, he'll just tank all your blows till he lands one of his own......good night!

Baatunde: I was baiting you but I will remain a better person than you by not replying you with insults. You have unwittingly revealed not only your hatred for Yorubas but for Muslims as well, because I still fail to realise how the issue of Yoruba Muzlem has crept into all the discussions so far. IT means you cant wait to insult a whole 100 million people due to your hate and malice filled personality and those insult probably include the guy who gave you the 5k that affords you the opportunity to buy data to insult and the woman called Aihsa Yesufu who wants to kill herself on your IPOB agenda. You can see that I was not bigoted like you to tarnish all Obidients with the same brush but you have significantly indicated your ignorance and intolerance of other tribes and faith.
Good luck to you and your hate filled life........
Baatunde: Really! So how did you pick them out from this forum? Me think however that leaving out the 'mashalasi', the attributes you have mentioned will conveniently describe probably 80% of those who say they are Obidients... in which case the 'mashalashi' can be substituted for "fake news Obidient platforms", don't you agree?
Of course I expected you to react. Babatunde Mumurudeen. Typical yoruba Mozulem pigoid. And why are we leaving out the masalashis?? I mean without these hellholes called masalashis your kind would simply not have existed!
Baatunde: Is that another group of people... Yourba Mozulem?... where are they and how do you differentiate them?
Oh… Don’t get me started on these subhumans! They’re a subset of the otherwise intelligent Yoruba race but they’ve been so severely mutated in the brain due to constant slamming away of brain cells on concrete in their concentration camps known as masalashis that at the end all that’s left of them is their inability to differentiate right from wrong and an extreme penchant to blatantly showcase dangerous stupidity!

Las las na who corruption nor favor na him dey complain. But my grouse with yoruba Mozulem 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖s be say, e nor dey favor them rara. In fact most of them get alternate beggar monikers, yet dem carry the matter for head pass who dey sell gala for hold up!
You guys that leave in Lagos see alot of rubbish everyday.
You people use the rubbish you experience to generalize it, like it also happen all over Nigeria.
Lagos is not a standard to measure Nigerians mentality.
When foreigners come to Nigeria first time, they use Lagos madness to judge Nigerians which is very very annoying
When I relocated back to Naija, I bought a property in Lagos (Lekki), that I only spent two month in, quickly left for Abuja and only return there to visit my side chick. That City is too anyhow for my liking.
EVERYTHING ABOUT LAGOS IS SO LAWLESS
I swear Abj 100 times calm pass Lag. You see all these nonsense ‘law enforcement’ dey do for Lag ehn, dem nor dey fit try am for Abj. I guess it’s because dem nor wan mistakenly fvck with politician pikin or whatever.
mecustika: You don't need to look far.just put a call across to kayemo and he will direct you to the vendor that printed for Tinubu. Afterwards, don't forget to head to Mobil for a lucrative job.
