That's not reincarnation, You saw a ghost. Reincarnation means the dead person is reborn in another body. That's the difference. Reincarnated soul have a body and can't just disappear Onetenth: |

First those arguing blindly that there is no reincarnation, please don't argue about things you don't know. Just read and learn. If you immerse yourself in your cultural history, you'd see that reincarnation has been part of our existence. Read books like Abiku by Wole Soyinka, I think. Even the Bible mentions something about reincarnation, but many dismiss it. John 1:19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" Then the Book of Matthew hinted at reincarnation. Matt. 11:14 "And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come." But many who are Christians today prefer not to believe. Its fine, its for the protection of the average person that he does not believe. To the OP, the person that died did not reincarnate. Reincarnation means being reborn in a different form as a human being in a different place. What you saw was a disturbed soul who could not leave the earth and would continue to wander around where they died because their current existence is tied to that place. It mostly happens to those who died violently. Now for those who don't believe, watch a movie called "Naomi", it explores the concept of what happens to a person who dies violently. He wonders aimlessly until it understands it is trapped and tries to make the best of it. 1 Like 1 Share

At what point did you notice that he's disappeared? Can the person sitting next to him attest that the seat was occupied and suddenly became empty? Can this fellow sitting next to him describe the clothes he was wearing? 3 Likes |

He could have maybe headed to the boy's grave himself first to find out the reason why the Spirit chose to appear to him at least, before heading to the dead boy's mother with whatever it is he may have found out. ![]() 2.

And to the OP, certain experiences are better off not shared. It disturbs the "harmony" in the society. Try not to do it again. Those who are still doubting, I think the message is that you should not be shocked if you experience it. It is not a new thing. 2 Likes |

Onetenth: Well if you really want to know I can give you some explanations. 1. Many of us unknown to us have look alikes to the extent that you can bet your last dime on it. 2. There is a spiritual side. God has, through the Bible informed us that when a person dies, he is dead, until God says it's time to resurrect him. But a wicked spirit (Satan) wants to counter that narrative. Through his angels (the demons) he tries to prove God wrong by impersonating the dead persons. The question is, who are you going to believe? 1 Like 1 Share |

The Akudaya myth: What I know In my native Nupe language, an Akudaya is called ‘Tsulozhin’. It’s a compound word consisting of three different words: Tsu (originally tsitsu) lo (lilo) and zhin (zhin-zhin). ‘Tsitsu’ means dying; lilo means going; and zhin-zhin means returning. Thus, a tsulozhin is someone who is believed to have returned to life after death. The belief that the dead can return back to life is deeply-rooted in African traditional belief, and is connected to the belief in voodoo and superstition. As a young boy growing up in my village of Lafiagi, I’ve heard a lot of these stories flying around and we’re being told by elders who we believe know better and have seen it all. Some of the tales were too ridiculous to believe though but we had no reason to doubt their veracity given that we were too young to be independent-minded. There was the popular story of Hajiya Fatima from Ketso who was allegedly killed by a witch known as Nnaputa. She was buried like every other deceased persons. Later, she was seen at Gbodoti by some Fulanis and brought back to town to the shock of many who witnessed her burial. As we grew up, we also heard about people who had died for years but were later seen in other places, some have become rich and have wives and kids. This is not Nollywood. They were stories that we heard with our two ears. The storytellers claimed that they witnessed it with their two eyes too. However, anytime an attempt is made to locate them in their new settlements, they disappeared into thin air, sometimes leaving their wives and children behind. In the mid 2000, a certain Shemi from Raba rose to prominence as the chief witches and wizards hunter in Nupeland. He waged a serious war against the evil of witchcraft and was moving from one town to the other on invitation, liberating people from the claws and clutches of the evil men and women. No doubt he was using powerful Jinns and magic to overpower and disarm his victims. Most times, he subjects them to dehumanizing treatments; shaving their hair (heads and pubic) and stripping them completely naked. We enjoyed watching the videos, seeing the dreaded men and women of the underworld confessing their crimes against humanity. Some of the revelations from those videos reinforced our beliefs that indeed, it is possible for the deceased to reappear or return back to life. This created a whole lot of confusion in our heads when we first came in contact with Tawhīd and ‘aqīdah and were told that once a person dies, he can never return to life until the Day of Resurrection. We doubted our teachers. They have neither seen nor heard the things that we’ve seen and heard, we thought. Years later, when we read more ‘aqīdah books as well as books on أخبار الجن والشياطين/ عالم الجن والشياطين, we were able to juxtapose and critically study the two seemingly contradictory issues and arrived at the following conclusions: * Allāh is the Creator and Terminator of all lives (Q.67:2). Thus, no life can be taken except by His permission (Q.3:145) * Death is the end of man’s sojourn on earth. i.e. once a person dies, he’s gone forever, never to be seen again in this real world. (.23:99-100) * Any claim of seeing a deceased person can only be in dream. This is consistent with the Sharī’ah. * Some Shayātīn among human beings possess the supernatural powers of bewitching people to see things that never were. (See Q.7:116) Thus, they create an imaginary image of their victim, causing him to be still and dead, while the real person is held and screened away from the people’s eyes. * The imaginary being is thus covered in shroud and buried, while the real being is taken away to another place. Sometimes, they are left wandering inside bushes and thick forests where some are attacked and eaten by dangerous animals, some are taken to far away cities were they get married and beget children, and some live a wretched and abnormal life. It’s some of these people that are later brought back to their hometowns * The Shayātīn among the Jinn can also appear to people in the image of their lost ones in order to cause confusion and crisis. In this situation, the person is truly dead and buried. However, the Shaytān will appear in his image so the people will think that he was brought back to life. Sometimes, people like that are brought back home, and sometimes they disappear into thin air, leaving behind their wives and children. The Prophet made reference to this when he said: من رآني في المنام فقد رآني، فإن الشيطان لا يتمثل في صورتي “Whoever sees me in his dream has indeed seen me, for the Shaytān cannot appear in my image.” This implies that the Shaytān has such abilities. And he did appeared to Abū Hurayrah in the image of an old, frail man. Therefore, Akudaya is nothing but a satanic fraud to destroy the aqīdah of the people and turn them into apostates and idolaters. It is important to always say our adhkār and ruqyah prayers to seek protection from the evil machinations of the Shaytān. We must purge ourselves of such false beliefs as reincarnation and reappearance of the deceased. Sanusi Lafiagi 2 Likes 1 Share |
