He isnt my candidate, Buhari is. And it isnt because am a Muslim or from Buhari's region, No! It's because, I see Buhari as a better leader than GEJ (in installing security and discipline in Nigeria). Notwithstanding, I accept the result of the election as a *little bit* credible, and fairer than any other election in the history of Nigeria. Kudos to Jega. GEJ, sounds honest and calmer I have to confess, But, I see him (in my opinion as intellectually daft) apparent in his speeches, the way he response to questions etc. But, hey, he is my President! Congrat, GEJ.

Actually I understand the posters cynicism.
But if Kaduna State is bounded by a constitutionally democratic rule, the VP--whoever is he (Christian, Agnostic or Atheist) should be the next governor of KD.

Am a Muslim and Islam is for justice. It's an un-Islamic thing to say: the Christian shouldn't rule a state mixed with Christians and Muslims.
Does governorship means hijacking your religion?
Is there no ways to resolve the Christian-Muslim conflict apart from not allowing the Christian to govern?


Peace to y' all.

I've noticed your carefulness in pointing to those minority Muslims I was addressing the majority of the people on that thread. I've noticed also how you're battling to educate them about it.

Either way, I appreciate your understanding. Seems I came across your username (frosbel) somewhere may be on youtube or some where else online.

Peace.

Not All Muslims are terrorist, just as not all Priests are Pedophiles. We can't use Crusades for example to justify our views. Islam is peace. It shocks me when I see many people here accusing Muslims of terrorism using over generalizing method to conclude their wishful thinking. They I can say are either ignorant of Islam or simply bunch of bigots.

We the Muslims have condemned all acts of terrorism including the actions of Abdulmuttalab:

@bee444. Am a Muslim. What does my faith got to do with it?

It is really a shame you don't even know your bible. You have a Mother if you are a born again. It is there in your bible. Sad, the so-called holy spirit in you didn't tell you yet. Go figure it yourself.



We're the new generation Church that perfectly and  intellectually understands the will of God in our lives. Forget about the 'Hollier than thou' thing, the ancient and orthodox doctrines, the Jewish and the man-made ways.

Your comment doesn't seem you know averagely your faith nor the will of your God. Stop using this: "perfectly" you aren't even this: good by not knowing your "spiritual mother"

A sister is a sister and a mother in the church is a mother in the church! God and Jesus should be our all- in -all.

Not sure of your faith though. But don't try to bring ambiguity and heresies here, ok!
[quote][/quote]

Common, you are bringing it by belying your ghost!

I was discussing with my Coptic-Christian friend, and he was trying to inculcate his dogma in me, arguing aggressively on trinity and original sin. Then I asked him to show me the proof from the word of Jesus and fortunately for us, Red-letter bible is on our midst. I demanded:

Show me from the red ink where Jesus mentioned trinity. He couldn't. All the verses he was showing to me were in black ink.
Finally, he said:

"You must be born again to belief in the mystery of trinity: you are not spiritually enough to understand it."
You must be born again to be spiritually good? to understand trinity? I asked.

That I took a real interest in: You must be born again. I want to know how this works; where is the proof from the scripture?
Brought me Romans Chapter 8.

Paul says (in the 8th chapter of Romans); if you are born-again what happen is that, the spirit of God comes into you and it tells you that God is now your Father. So you cry out: "Abba, Father."

Abba, is an unusual word, it means Father in Aramaic. So I look up to the word where else it is in the bible? It is only one other place Paul talks about Abba let you find it for yourself. And same place, he also talks about how it is that same works, he says:

That the spirit of God comes within you, you become a child of God; you call out to God: "Abba, Father". Now God is your Father and he goes on to say now you have a new Mother. A new Mother. God is your Father and you have a new Mother.

Since when I discover this verse till now I have yet to meet some one who is born-again and ask him: Who is your Father? they say God and ask further, who is your Mother? They don't know.

Why not? it is in the Bible. You have a new Mother if you are born-again. Why did the Spirit of God when it comes within you forget to tell you who your Mother is?

It is there! let you find it.

My Coptic-Christians and Catholic Asians couldn't give me the answer. I though I could demand it here:

WHO IS YOUR SPIRITUAL MOTHER?

You called a Muslim ignorant because:

He believes in one God and rejects the Pagan believe in 3 gods (the trinity?);
He believes in all the Prophets including the final one, Muhammad (PBUH);
He pays charity?; e.t.c e.t.c,

Is that what you gathered and concluded to be ignorant?
Is that what the bible teaches you? calling all these deeds ignorant?
If yes, then bible is a gutter! and Christianity is a disease!
If you just make such buggy assumptions; then you are a looney specie.

Solve your trinity arithmetic first (1+1+1=1) before calling us ignorant.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I didn't know that this rat didn't know the meaning of REFERENCE and CITATION.

I made it clear that Adam's creation is not as literally as it is in God rather the likeness in attribute like seeing and hearing but that which befit Adam (attributes that are finite and imperfect) in contrast with God's attributes (that are finite and imperfect).

The way you don't see things even when they are clear reminds me of a verse in THE NOBLE QURAN:

"Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path)" (2:18).

And Jesus:

"Are ye also yet without understanding?" Mat 15:16.

The image in the bible is so literal and down to earth where the God himself supposedly said the bible:

"Let's make Man in to our image" Genesis 1:26.

I don't know your denomination but most of the Christians as a result of this verse they believe that god became man; that is i form of Jesus.
Do you believe he (Jesus) is God?


*You don't know anything happening in Europe if you are denying the conversion of Christianity in to Islam.

Answer me before I answer your question about the creation of earth.

Who is the son of man in your bible?
"How much less is man who is but a MAGGOT?"

I wonder you can't understand this simple english.

You are arrogant of the hadith you are quoting. Now let me address the issues.
This hadeeth is proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), in which he said: “If any one of you strikes (another), let him avoid the face, for Allaah created Adam in His image.” According to another version: “In the image of the Most Merciful.” This does not imply resemblance or likeness.

What is meant, according to the scholars, is that Allaah created Adam with the ability to hear and see, and to speak when he wants. These are also attributes of Allaah, for He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, and He speaks when He wants, and He has a Face, may He be glorified and exalted.

But it does not mean that there is any resemblance or likeness. Rather the image of Allaah is different from that of created beings. What is meant is that He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, and He speaks when He wants, and He created Adam also able to hear and see, with a face and hands and feet. But man’s hearing is not like Allaah’s hearing, his seeing is not like Allaah’s seeing, his speaking is not like Allaah’s speaking. Rather Allaah has attributes that befit His majesty and might, and man has attributes that befit him, attributes that are finite and imperfect, whereas the attributes of Allaah are perfect, with no shortcomings, infinite and without end. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“There is nothing like Him, and He is the All‑Hearer, the All‑Seer”

[al-Shoora 42:11]

“And there is none co‑equal or comparable unto Him”

[al-Ikhlaas 112:4]

So it is not permissible to strike the face or say “May Allaah deform your face”.

End quote. Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh, 4/226

Another thing that will help to explain the meaning of this hadeeth is the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “The first group to enter Paradise will be in the image of the moon” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3245; Muslim, 2834.” What the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) meant here is that the first group will be in human form, but because of their purity, beauty and brightness of face they will look like the moon, so they are likened to the moon, but without resembling it. So just because a thing is said to be in the image of a thing it does not mean that it is like it in all aspects.

The Prophet’s words, “Adam was created in His image” means that Allaah created Adam in His image, for He has a face, an eye, a hand, and a foot, and Adam had a face, an eye, a hand, and a foot… but that does not mean that these things are exactly the same. There is some similarity, but it is not exactly the same. Similarly the first group to enter Paradise are likened to the moon, but they are not exactly the same. This confirms the view of Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah, who say that none of the attributes of Allaah can be likened to the attributes of created beings, without distorting or misinterpreting, or discussing how or likening Him to His creation.




The verse you quoted is right. Of course among Christians there are good and sincere men that aren arrogant. That is why we have high number of converts. If you look in Europe, the growing number of Christians revert, you will be overwhelmed.
Quran is so right in every side. I hope you are not among the arrogant ones.

That is why Quran is a complete book that touches not only Muslims but all Mankind; covering all generation.
What number of people do bible cover? some 2.1 billion only?
incomplete memoir.


Pretty enough.

Am Allah's slave. What is wrong? the creator who created me is able and fit to be my Master.
But what about the God of the bible calling the human beings MAGGOT and calling your supposed god, Jesus a worm:

Job 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Job 25:5 when even to the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight.
Job 25:6 How much less is man, who is but a maggot? and the son of man, which is a worm?


Which one do you prefer Davidylyn? to be a slave of God or a MAGGOT?

I though you know Islam. But you don't know that Hadeeth compliment Quran?
What are the sources of Shariah?
Answer me Please,


And you are absolutely correct: "no comparison between Christianity and Islam".
As Islam worship THE CREATOR (GOD AND ONLY) while the Christians worship THE CREATION (Jesus and some other gods in TRINITY).
Bravo! for that.

Christianity is a pagan religion it is not a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion.
Deal with that,

@Viaro. Quran is not a book of history nor book of stories unlike bible where certain stories (most of them false) and erroneous genealogy of a Man, Jesus that has no genealogy (Luke 3:23-38; Matthew 1:1-17) and pornography also in the bible (Ezekiel 23:1-49) among others.

al Masih Dajjal or whatever the spelling might be (Dijjal/ Dujjal) denoting one single thing: "The Decieving Messiah). Quran did not mentioned Dajjal because:

He is so beneath contempt that he did not deserve a mention in the word of God (SWT). So it was left to the Prophet (PBUH) to warn the human race about the up and comming fitna. There are reams of ahadith which relate to Dajjal. And as I remember alot of them actually give a physical description, ie. black curly hair, strongly built. This would lend credence to the fact that the Dajjal may actually be a man (not just a system). Of course the system preceding the emmergence of Dajjal, would have to significantly weaken the spiritual resolve of humanity - so that the evil in all men could be then exploited to its full - so (as Shiekh Imran Hossein says) perhaps Dajjal is behind the scenes and is waiting to make his apperance. And, of course Allah (SWT) knows best.

The second is that it is a moot point to mention him, because if you follow the majestic Quran and the excellent example of the Prophet (PBUH), then the Dajjal's power will not be able to effect you anyway. It is said in the Hadith, that all rightly guided peoples on the earth at the time of Dajjal, will be able to see the word "kafr" clearly written on the forehead of the Dajjal. Also, the Prophet (PBUH) said that if anyone is confronted by Dajjal, then they should recite the first 10 verses of Surat Al-Kaf (The Cave), and Dajjal will be powerless against them.

It's funny how this Christian puppet are making false allegation about the religion of Jesus. O' Yes! Islam is the religion of Jesus.
You Dajjal!

Another hot-steam-blind Christian: You're welcome!

To begin with, Masih-al-Dijjal is not contradicting Masih-Esa (Peace be upon him).

The word Dijjal is a common Arabic word meaning "deceiving" with the definite article refers to the "Deceiving Messiah"

Since Jesus is coming at the end of the world to destroy the false Messiah ( Dijjal/anti-Christ); and since the false Messiah is also coming at the end of the world, that is why Islam beautifully contrast the two calling the later the "Decieving Messiah" (Masih al Dijjal).

I think every one with an elementary knowledge of Arabic knows that. Stop attacking straw man!


*Nowhere is Adam mentioned as being the image of God. Do you know what we call the chains of narration of Hadith? is that hadith authentic? I want answers to these false accusation.

Learn the basic Arabic before debating me,

Am back right here. I've seen many red-herrings and straw man fallacy.

To begin with, in Quran Messiah is referred to Jesus but it is not his real name it's his title. Esa is the name of Jesus in Quran and in everywhere.

Mulims alone? don't be selfish!

It's just a title.
Just as Abraham= friend of God
So is Jesus,= Messiah

What is your problem?

I was born in Saudi Arabia. I love the country. Hoping to go back there sometimes. Right now am in Arab country.
It's not that I hate America but I hate hypocrisy.

US are you serious? do you know what you are talking about?
Is like am communicating to an alien right now. Are you on this Planet at all?

How many times do you want me answer this?
I told you we have nothing to do with the word "Christ". We call Jesus "Maseeh" same meaning (Anointed) as Hebrew word Messiah.

In the English translation of the Holy Quran though, the word "Maseeh" is translated as "Christ". Reason: because the Westerner, translated the word to "Christ". So for purpose of understanding we use the word in appealing to Western language.

is that clear Sir?

Which Christian country shows love and mercy?
Israel over Palestine?

Oooooooooops!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! you're really funny. Davidlyn I guess you are a debater are you?
I didn't run from that topic. I answered every question pertaining to the topic.

So wat's your question tonight? I like sharing ideas with you.

Beautiful description. This is how the world works and it balanced at such.

Daviddylyn: You're very funny. As Muhsin said: As a sensible question next time. And am her to answer you.

In Christianity, the Christians believe that God reveals Himself.
In Islam, the Muslims believe that God reveals His Will.

In revealing Himself in Christianity, the Christians means incarnation that God out of love came down to earth in form of a Man, Jesus. Christianity holds the believe that God is the true image of Man. The Bible quotes as saying: “Let us make Man in to our image” {Genesis 1:26}.
The Muslims doesn’t believe in incarnation. The Muslims, though the believe God is love, they however, reject the belief that reveals Himself; He can’t become a man. In other words, Man and God are two opposite and different things. Just as you can’t crawl like a baby and wet your pants out of the love of the baby; so does God: He can’t become a Man.

As to the Incarnation, in Christianity, that is God becoming a Man, this has been a difficulty that has been debated for 2000 years. Whether it is plausible for a Man, Jesus to be a God and a Man at the same time; whether he could be mortal and immortal at the same time; whether he was mutable and immutable at the same time.

If God divided in to three in Trinity, the Muslim didn’t believe that god.
If God is One and only and has no partner in worship; the God of universe, the creator; the God of the worlds, that is the true God in the monotheistic teaching and believe of Islam.

It is not the purpose of this piece to insult or mock any religion; it is meant to inform.

See video here for the logical analogy of the comparison:

Peace upon you all.

Give the corpse, finish the tension. Muslims are not terrorist
