Northerners are very very stupid people. Useless îdiots. All Muslims will burn in hell. ALL!

I hope Would have the nerve to say it again in a "day" to come. May Allah give me that special opportunity to "remind" you!

Reference:
Of course, baboons in the bush will not complain. No offence abeg. Try other parts of Nigeria, you will flee Lagos. If the Federal government can run for its life who am I.

I can't just phantom how people are able to cope with such lifestyle-Insane rush hour, unkempt streets, pollution, exploitative landlords and all sorts; I'll just lose my very essence!

I'll rather make 50 thousand naira in a serene and simple environment in other part of Nigeria than make 1 million in Lagos. Sanity, good health and serenity is worth a whole lot than money!

@trottle
You are welcome here. Those guys you have quoted up there have the thirst for knowledge and intelligence that is almost equivalent (if not more ) to what some Alfas who walk around with 40 muridis and an overflowing agbada that's enough to sew 7 shirt and trousers.

I'm only afraid they'll decide not to contribute anymore on this forum someday especially 'the death that has finally killed kuti'. When that time comes, I wonder how we'll get our questions answered. Until then I'll just take full advantage of this privilege.

Thanks brother.

I'm also sad about such day. These sheikhs are really worth it all. Not those ones with see everyday fraught with arrogance and pride.

It's really a privilege to be among you all. At least I would be able enlighten myself more and those we can in our little way. These thread contain priceless infor. Jazakhumullah scholars.

And others

You guys have really inspired me to penetrate this deen. Thanks!!

Prior this, I've been conjuring images deduced from the literal meaning of the Qur'an... (flying donkey, mountain of Gold, Gog and Magog et al not immediately realizing that they are: an aeroplane, Oil and the Christian Euro-Jewish civilization respectively).

However, I have a question, can a human (non-Muslim; Christian actually) be endowed with the gift of prediction without no prior spiritual exercise (Tahajjud, zikr etc) and be able to tell future of another person (such as the lifespan and the affection of Allah towards such a person).

You scholars explained the concept, but I couldn't grasp it much. Please, simplify it for "keen learners" like us. Thanks again.

I still have other questions after.

Onegai:
Before you clap too much, an educated husband can also do this. I got most of my education from my father and it was a great education. Nothing makes this a mother's job only, both parents should do it.

I never mentioned that an educated husband can't do such. What I meant was that since the first education starts with the mother, it would be of great benefit to the child if she's educated. Parenting is their collective duty.

Onegai:
Schoolfees is now madness. We were told N280,000 per term for creche in Lekki 1 and everyone assured us that it was quite affordable. The cheapest I've seen was N230,000 per term. Schoolfees has more than quadrupled up (someone's fees came up from N600,000 to over N1m in a letter at the end of term with no prior warning). I've been told even the mainland is not being spared. Parents of children who are heading to Primary school are now opting to relocate outside the country to be able to afford quality, reasonably-prices schools (Father stays here, Mother moves with kids or both of them move depending on if their jobs are no longer able to afford a sensible lifestyle). People are selling off cars to raise schoolfees for the upcoming term or moving their kids to grandparents or relatives outside Lagos state for Secondary school. So many cannot afford a regular school anymore.

I feel if one parent is not working, get educational resources online for British curriculum, hit a bookstore and prep your child through PreKinder. Because why on earth should one pay N600,000 per annum to learn how to write 1,2,3 and A,B,C? Organise playdates for kids. I've met some mums who did that and their kids turned out great. And one supermum whose kids became superstars is now coaching other kids.

Thank you ma'am, preach it!

An educated wife is always an asset.

And if one starts advocating that the wife switches to a very flexible job or becomes a stays at-home mom, they scream "this is the 21st century, bla,bla, bla".

A wife who rather invests in her kids by teaching them elementary knowledge, their indigenous, English and other languages that the mother knows, morality, life skills and other essentials (which this schools would NEVER teach), you would be giving all those schools a very good run for their money.

After all, you work to improve their lives and yours, why don't you rather channel your time in building them??

seyizma:
Hmm! '' Great friends with benefits you mean? ''

They would be deceiving themselves "we're just great friends" as if feelings are not involved from either or both sides.

This is is nonsense we are being fed with now? What is our business with your "friendship"? As if a man and woman can be friend in the real sense of the word!!

ikp120:
It's her fault.


All these girls forming feminists should take note because a time comes when shìt gets real.

Let me help her sha. She can get married next year if she will follow my advice word for word.

Abi now, when the they are past their prime and the attention has drastically dwindled, that's when they know than career can never give any woman fulfillment without a family.

transient123:
Christian bank? U when this conventional bank or which one again?

If there is a Christian bank even in the vatican, please, sell it and let us see the difference between it and the conventional banking system, or else, silence is golden and for the brainy.

May Allah bless you over and over again!

EmeeNaka:
I don't understand you o. Islamic Development Bank is now in Nigeria after so much opposition and assurance from CBN that the Bank will not be used to finance terrorism and jihasist operations. So, it's now a legitimate Financial institution that must do business and now they're into Business with Enugu and Ebonyi state. Is anything wrong with that?

They should have borrowed from other "secular" banks infested with interest. I hope you know that the money is interest-free?

If Islamic way of finance and economics were to adopted in Nigeria, you would see poverty go down the drain, with the West trying to dislodge Nigeria.

Note: Quote and present a counterargument. If you're interested in Name calling, just zoom by this comment.

Amarabae:
whats wrong with taking a loan for a key project? Be it from any bank.

There is nothing wrong, but the benefit inherent cannot be overstated.

Goodluck with that.

kullozone:
Make una free G-guys oh! Whether na plus or minus, money is sure... Because money is everything. Yes, I said it.

This is the type of comment shows lack of purpose and loss of direction. Money can and would never be everything! If it is everything, why do rich people commit suicides, get depressed, hooked on drug etc. Money does not translate to happiness o chairman. Take it or leave it.

chibuzorAbia:
First off there are no consequences just outcomes.

Many people live happily alone whilst many others live miserably in a marriage.

And what exactly do people her from being MARRIED? What?

You can get everything now as a single person including that wonderful "peace of mind"

My dear marriage is overrated and slowly becoming meaningless as human kind evolves.

Because some were miserable in their marriage does not mean the institution should be abandon. You fix what is broken and not throw it away, that's what marriage entails!

You can never get everything illegally (a child out of wedlock, pre-marital sex etc.) and expect a peace of mind. It' not just possible.

Marriage would never be overrated. I repeat, if you feel that marriage is overrated, please do not engage in any act that bears semblance to what is obtained in a marriage (sex, bastard children, live-in girlfriend performing the function of a spouse). Stay away from all these act, and you would know that marriage is highly underrated.

Look at the vices plaguing the Western society that feels marriage is overrated; Loss of happiness, people having sex like animals, increase in consumption of porn, increase in suicide and drug dependence, low self-esteem among their children and many other vices.

Look at some vices slowly seeping into the Nigerian society; is that your definition of evolution?

I refuse to embrace that kind of "societal evolution".

chibuzorAbia:
Ok, so poverty translates to happiness abi?

And who told you marriage is prerequisite for s3x, live-in lovers, child bearing etc? Absolute nonsense!

Most modern marriages are endurance, pain, betrayals and the list goes on. A good friend of mine got laid off at MOBIL after 25 years service. The wife started suddenly started throwing hitherto unknown tantrums and just 6 month after they are no longer living together. Trust me guy gave her the best of life over the 25 years.

Abeg do what you like with your lives guys.

Don't try to confuse yourself. In one of my earlier post, I said "if you have the means, marry". Try to comprehend.

Please, rephrase your second paragraph, I'm sure it's incomprehensible to me and most peeps here.

Why I would not dismiss the pressures that a modern society exerts on marriage, but at what point in history has marriage every been a " walk in the park" or "a Disney-like happily ever after story"? Kindly show me!

Bringing one example out of the bunch is not a good basis for reaching intellectual conclusions. So that's flawed. They (couple) wh separated might have existing issues in their marriage which you might not know. Sometimes the "outside" could be deceitful.

Please before "doing anything with your lives" be fully prepared to accept the consequences.

Peace out.

[/b] Nationalism[b]

Amongst the many trials and tribulations faced by Muslims today, there is the disease of Nationalism. This is to believe that one is superior just by the mere fact that they reside in a certain part of the world, to see their race, culture and traditions to be far better with no basis from the Shari'ah. Allah (swt) tells us why He created us different, so we can recognise each other.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another [EMQ 49:13]

People are elevated by Islam

The verse continues to say that only those who have taqwa (fear of Allah) which is a sign of belief are elevated in the yes of Allah (swt).

إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. [EMQ 49:13]

Simple patriotic sentiments, so long as they do not contravene the higher conviction of man is permissible in Islam, like the affection one feels towards one's father, son and family. But as already shown, nationalism does not stop at simple sentiments. It is a socio-political creed and an actual way of life which aims at a full control of man's individual and social conduct. Islam, too, being a school having its own independent, spiritual, practical, political and social system and comprising a particular set of beliefs, it naturally comes into conflict with the school of nationalism.

Unlike other religions such as Christianity, Buddhism etc, Islam is not confined to religious rites and metaphysical convictions. Had Islam been only a religion of devotions, it might have agreed with nationalism. But Islam is a religion with asocial and philosophical worldview, and provides for economic and political principles. Nationalism, too, has its own social and political principles based however on different beliefs and criteria. Therefore, conflict between Islam and nationalism is inevitable. The Islamic ideology is not compatible with any other ideology on the question of sovereignty over the private and social life of Muslims. A Muslim cannot at the same time be a Muslim and a polytheist, or a Muslim and communist. In Islam, there is no room for one to be a loyal and genuine nationalist. It is a question of identity, and one negates the other.

Nationalism is incompatible with Islam, both schools having two opposite ideologies. These two assume two totally opposite poles in their spirit, essence, direction and goal.

As we shall explain later, the Quran has explicitly rejected the basis of nationalism, and states that language, colour and race are no criteria for unity and privilege. The only criteria are belief and virtue. A common ideology is the basis of the unity of the Islamic ummah, not race, country, language or even culture. The goal of nationalism is to create national units, whereas the goal of Islam is universal unity. To nationalism what matters the most is loyalty and attachment to the homeland, whereas to Islam, it is God and religion. Nationalism gives authenticity to geographical boundaries and racial distinctions, whereas Islam negates them. Nationalism inclines to limitation and race, but Islam assumes a universal outlook.

The Messenger said on his farewell sermon.

"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor does a black have any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action."

The piety and good action referred to here is Islam, as any other action or way of life will be rejected, as Allah (swt) says,

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him [EMQ 3:85]

Umar al Khattab said "we are people elevated by Islam, if we chose another way it will only bring disgrace"

Unity amongst Muslims is obligatory

The Muslims are united as one nation, not by blood, nor colour nor race but by following the same deen (religion). This bond of faith is what causes the brotherhood between the believers, as Allah (swt) says,

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
Verily the believers are a brotherhood [EMQ 49:10]

Mujahid, the student of Ibn Abbas (ra) said "this verse is referring exclusively to the Muslims". The Messenger said

"A Muslim to another Muslim is a brother; he does not forsake him nor oppress him"

"The similitude of the Muslims is like one body, if one part suffers the other feels the pain"

"The Muslim Ummah is one at the exclusion of all others, their land is one, their war is one and their peace is one"

With such clear cut evidences dispraising and forbidding the division of the Muslim based upon jahiliyyah (ignorance), one has to think why the Muslim Ummah is in the situation it is today. It is easy just to blame the Muslims and say why they don't practice Islam and why do they allow this to happen. However we also need to look further.

Divide and Rule

Since the advent of Islam there have been many plots to destroy this deen of Allah (swt). Even in the time of the Prophet Muhammad the Mushrikeen (polytheists) of Quraish tried several times to quash the Islamic State in Madinah. Even those residing within Madinah such as the hypocrites and the Jews betrayed the covenant they had with the Prophet (saw) in siding with the enemies of Islam. We should therefore not be surprised that those outside of this brotherhood of Islam will do all they can to destroy it.



We should take lessons from the sayings of the Prophet who severely warned us against nationalism. He said,

"He is not one of us who calls for Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for Asabiyyah or who dies for Asabiyyah."

And in another Hadith, also referring to nationalism, racism, and patriotism He said:

"Leave it, it is rotten."

Only through unity can the Ummah return to its former glory, and be as Allah (swt) called it a leading nation.

SalamRushdie:
Trottle such a naive mind

Thanks for the compliment sir.

Let me wallow and enjoy in my naivety.

chibuzorAbia:
Nonsense!

This is leading ignorant lambs to the slaughter.

If you don't want marriage DON'T MARRY! You are not missing anything!!! There is a lot of frustration and too much endurance in marriages.

Life is damp too short to fill it with unhappiness, and who this society EPP!!

Nonsense! The person you quoted was very correct.
If you don't want marriage, then stay away from it and any that bears even the slightest resemblance to it (live-in girlfriend, having sex, having children outside wedlock etc.) If you can't stay away, you are a bloody hypocrite!

Until you begin to look beyond this material universe, you would still be "blind". The society has tremendously helped. If the people of the old didn't labour to keep the society stable and sane which you peeps are trying to up turn, you probably might have end up as a bastard child with suicide tendencies and low self-esteem.

People, my advise is if you have the means, please marry. Don't continue to give out pieces of your life to random " one-night standers" all in the name of enjoyment which peeps like this poster is advocating. If you thinking I'm untruthful, study the Western world. With all their advancement and superior technology, there is no real happiness. Don't let "happiest countries poll" fool you. Material things do not translate to happiness!!!

SalamRushdie:
You need to unplug your brain and enjoy this thing called life bro ..

Do you have difficulties comprehending??
My definition of enjoyment is having a stable and loving home complete with kids, spouse, improving humanity etc. Not fornicating around with random girls and eventually breaking down with depression and deep regret. If that's your definition of "enjoying life", it's your choice. Don't say I didn't warn you.

InvertedHammer:
/
Why the hell are people still getting married?


/

Because they want to come home to a spouse, kids and an environment full of wramth and love!

SalamRushdie:
Some people are just smart enough to know that marriage is some primitive contractual contraptions that bears no actual importance in a man's day to day life and is actually just a standard for the lack of love or trust.. It's pure nonsense but we just do it for fad

Those "smart" people are the most dumbest!! Yes!!!

So having children with different ladies, changing women like tissues, with kids growing in dysfunctional homes with low self-esteem is your definition of enlightenment?

Coming home to a cold house devoid of a spouse and kids, with your consolation being T.V, girlfriends, porn, parties and beer is your definition of advancement?

If you do not get married, you would still engage in acts that bear resemblance to marriage albeit unholy (baby mamaism, live-in girlfriends etc.)!

If getting married is your definition of being primitive, then I would prefer to be a bushman for life while you engage in your "advanced" living. SalmanRushdie indeed.

Preach to them ma'am!
Some of them do not want to understand and respect that not all women want to hold "office job" or any career for variety of reason.
You don't even need to prove anything to them. Let them just talk, their problem.

A simple prayer for you "searchers"; If you can't honour a lady by MARRYING her, may God make all your future daughters baby mama for different guys.

This world!

edwife:
Being a full time housewife is a job and skill itself! It's black mostly Nigerians that makes it look like it's a lazy job.

Do you know that abroad you can get a trainee job by just stating that you were a housewife? Do you know how many skills a housewife has? You think nannies are being paid huge money abroad for the fun of it? Taking care of a man, kids, home and everything financial, organise a home is skill. It is one of the hardest job in the world.

Y'all should stop belittling housewives. Their husbands are not complaining and i don't think anyone has the right to tell a woman what and how to take care of her family.

A woman should do what is good for her family first! The husband is the only one that has the right to discuss it with her and approve or not!

Like I said, do what makes you happy.

Madam, you've truly shown rare intelligence by your comment. Kudos!

People would all yap and yap about being a career woman and all that which is their choice. However a woman that chose another part should not be castigated. A man that can feed and adequately provide would be more than thankful to have a housewife.

An educated housewife is an asset for her hubby! My opinion. Because I do not see reasons why a woman who has a more-than-capable and chooses to raise her kids be castigated. Little wonder why people pay huge amount of money as school fees, and the kids learning averagely whereby a kid who has an educated housewife for a mother and attend an average school would give those kids that attend those "posh" schools a very good run for their money. Win-win. Everybody is free to make their choice, but no one should castigate others for making their own choices. Not every woman is a career freak.

N:B when quoting me, be civil please!

Double post!
