Two Muslim Sisters now offer a free beautiful hall for intending couples

0
Free Nikaah hall

In a world where marriage (Nikaah) has become expensive and Zina (illegal sexual intercourse) is cheap, even free, two Muslim sisters came up with an idea to make the cost of marriage easier. One does not need to be Archimedes to know that, “the higher the cost of marriage, the cheaper the practice of Zina”.

It is no news that it is becoming increasingly difficult for intending spouses to celebrate their day simply and beautifully. To address this, the sisters are offering to make available,  an avenue for people with low budget to get a free 40-sit modest but beautiful space for their Nikaah that will be done strictly according to the Qur’an and sunnah (no alcohol, music, boobs-out wedding gowns,  etc.).

The hall is located at Akinola Oke Odo, Lagos. It will be available for free, although, once every month. Intending users will be responsible for extra decorations, power and other miscellaneous.

Those who intend to make use of the hall are required to give a notice, six weeks before their marriage.

For enquiries, call: +234 802 363 7802

SONG OR SWORD? BY SANNI KAY YUSUF

0
Music

It’s barely December and we’ve started having a feel of its yearly hit – noise here and there, including sounds so dearing to shaytan.

The one who is cacophonously hitting up our neighborhood with music in the name of festivity just reawakened the memory with a saddening album by one insensitive, irresponsible Fuji blabbermouth. That’s the second time my ears would involuntarily catch up with such an infectious virus of a song.

In the album, the description of mating between a man and a woman was musically demonstrated. He mentioned raw and roughly the man’s genital and that of his gender counterpart and described how the two usually take on one another in bed, not minding that such might corruptibly arouse minors to promiscuity, his children ditto. What a shameless father!

Mr. Marshall should be near his 60s. He is aged enough to be a grandpa. How come his disposition in this regard never portrayed him as a father, let alone a granny? And I wonder if he is ever reminiscent over the life after now. An alhaji for that matter!

It is just commonsense that those who listen to such nonsense are his allies in crime. For those who are well in their heads, that vicious album was enough a reason to quit listening to his contractible noise.

Do we need to be religious to know that some fellows aren’t worth our followership? Rationality is enough. The corrupter in question and those in his rank of viciousness should be discarded from our lives, else, we would be guilty of what Allah says thus:

وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُون. أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ. وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ.
“As for poets, they are followed ˹merely˺ by deviants.
Do you not see how they rant in every field,
only saying what they never do?”
[Surat Ash-Shu’ara 224 -226]

Imesi-Ile stands still for Islam as 22 non-Muslims including a Reverend embrace Islam at ACADIP Lecture

All praise be unto Allah who has blessed us with the truth which is Islam. Allah’s saying that truth shall prevail over falsehood became evident in Imesi- Ile when ACADIP moved its train to the town for a 2-day lecture which marked the end of ACADIP October – November series.

With testimony from former pastors and a prophetess, including former pastor Joseph Awosina now Nurudeen, a son of the soil and an in-depth analysis of lies being peddled against God by Mallam Yusuf Adepoju (Chief-Lecturer, ACADIP NIGERIA), a total of 22 non-Muslims embraced Islam by the mercy of Allah.

Two sisters, Michael Esther and Michael Success from Benue state were the first two to embrace Islam at the lecture held at Open Space of Owa-Ooye Palace, Imesi-Ile, Osun State.

Another revert recorded was sister Joy, who came on stage and asked questions like, “Did God ask Catholic fathers not to give birth?”. Mallam Yusuf Adepoju answered her questions and she embraced Islam. She also knows a former pastor, Pastor Israel, thereby authenticating the former  Pastor’s claim. He is now brother Mustafa.

The 2-day lecture ended with a total of 22 new reverts to Islam including a Pastor and Reverend, Joshua Oluwasegun who came with the certificates he had gotten in Christianity.

The certificates are;

  • Advance College for Evangelism and Leadership Training (ACELT) anointing and ordaining him as a Reverend on the 15th of March, 2003.
  • Certificate of Baptism and Recognition issued to him by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on the 24th of August, 2008. The certificate was signed by the General Overseer, E.A Adeboye.
  • Certificate of participation in a three-day “Fire Conference” organized by Christ for all Nations (CFAN) and signed by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke.
  • Certificate of Recognition for completion of the World Bible School Correspondence Course.
  • Ministerial Certificate from Advance College for Evangelism and Leadership Training.

Despite threats before the lecture, no Pastor in Imesi-Ile came for a debate or question as lucky Christians in the Christian dominated town embraced Islam.

Meanwhile, a total of 200 non-Muslims have voluntarily and joyously embraced Islam in ACADIP 7-week October – November series

The Bible led me to Islam continued (TRINITY)- Page 35-37

0

Click here for previous session

TRINITY

The Trinity, which I came to know, is not biblical.
The word trinity is not even in the Bible, nor the
Bible dictionaries. The trinity was never taught by
Jesus and was never specifically mentioned by
Jesus.

The formulation of the trinity was presented by
Athenasius, an Egyptian deacon from Alexandria,and was also accepted by the Council of Nicea more than three centuries after Jesus had departed the earth. Other such man-made decisions of the Council contributed to the declaration of the Roman Sunday as the Christian Sabbath13 and the establishment of December 25 as Jesus’ birthday.

This was done in order to have a celebration that
occurred on the same day as the birthdays of pagan gods such as Nimrod (Babylon god), Krishna (Hindus god), Mithra (Greek/Roman god), and Dionysius (or Bacchus of Greece) who is named the only begotten son of Jupiter and was born of a virgin mother named Demeter on December 25th.

Clearly, the Bible predicted and forbade the
decoration of (Christmas) trees in Jeremiah 10:25:

Thus saith the Lord, “Learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the
hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck
it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.,,3
Verses like Matthew 28:19, John 14:11 and 1
John 5:7 & 8 may be used by Christians to
confirm the Trinity.

The Trinitarian dogma was merely deduced from I John 5:7 which states:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one.”

This verse has long been exposed as spurious, an unauthorized addition to the Greek text of the New Testament. Christian scholars of the Bible later found that this dogma was an interpolation in the King James version.

In fact, no less than a group of 32 Christian scholars of highest eminence, advised by a board of 50 representatives of
various denominations came up in 1949 with a
revised standard version of the New Testament,
and of the whole Bible in 1952, discarding the
foregoing passage.

The New Testament refers many times to Jesus asGod’s servant (see Matthew. 12:18 for example). Now read Acts 2:22:

“Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth
was a man accredited by God to you by
miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves
know.”

How then could Jesus be God’s servant and God at the same time?

Highlight of the Yorubalization of Islam in Yorubaland

  • POLYGAMY

In the Yoruba land today, many are products of polygamous homes. Six of every ten polygamous marriage are tales  of woes, tears, pains, death and sorrow.

 

If the Iyale is not after the Ìyàwó, it would be the other way around. The mothers turn the children against one another and when the man dies, sharing the property becomes a big problem as it might lead to death.

 

 

These horrible tales of polygamy drives a typical Yoruba woman to ask her children not to venture into polygamy. They demonize polygamy and make it a no-go-area. On the other hand, the father joins in the game by telling the male children to beware of polygamy being fed up with his wives.

 

Religiously, the predominant faith is Islam and Christianity with traditional religion not really taken into cognizance. Today, polygamy is illegalized by the church while Islam legalizes it therefore taking the blame for horrible polygamous marriages.

 

Only few people know that polygamy is not outlawed by the Bible and that Islam teaches polygyny not polygamy. There is no religion on earth today that says marry one wife except Islam. It is only in Islam that we have a limit to the numbers of wives we can marry; 4.

 

It is unfortunate when religion is mixed with culture. Before the advent of Islam in Yoruba land, polygamy is a norm with the same horrible tales. The traditional approach to polygamy is prevalent today only that it is done using Islam as a cover with the slogan, “Mẹ ni Ọlọhun wí” (God says many)

 

 

Anyone who says this will ignorantly refer to the Qur’an as there  is no reference from the traditional sources and to the church, everyone knows it is illegal.

 

Qur’an 4:3;

 

And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].

 

Polygyny in Islam requires understanding the fundamental basis of Islam which extends to the rights of wives and children as well as duties. Allah commanded Muslims to practise polygyny not every Tom, Dick, and Harry that is quick to embrace the command yet neglect his duties and responsibilities..

 

Islam cannot and should not be blamed for these tales of horror and woes as regards polygamy. Anyone can lay claim to be a Muslim, Islam can only be responsible for their actions justified by the Qur’an.

 

The Qur’an does not say kill a fellow wife. Islam knows nothing about first wife, second wife label that only breeds hatred and creates a sense of unnecessary authority. Polygyny in Islam is not “Ile olorogun” (a house of rivalry).

 

 

Before you blame Islam for failed  polygamous marriages, endeavour to learn  from scholars of the religion.

To the Yoruba Muslim parents, obey Allah by not making polygyny forbidden for your children rather educate them on the subject with the Qur’an and Sunnah and that is better for you in the life and the Hereafter if you but KNOW.

Answering the critics of Polygamy

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • THE MENACE OF EVIL CLERICS (ALFAS) ; AN OBSTACLE TO DA’WAH (Yorubaland as a case study) Dear Yoruba woman…

    Why are you aggressive when it comes to Islam?

    Who sent you to the cleric that gave you a poison to kill your Iyale’s child but your child(ren) ate it?

    Who gave you the address to that cleric’s place? The cleric you asked for love charm but he found you beautiful and turned him against you instead?

    Who directed you to that cleric that impregnated you with your husband fathering a bastard?

    Who led you to that cleric in search of knowledge of the unseen? The cleric that tells you he sees something about your husband, you divorce him only to find out it is not so!

     

    Can you please spare us your aggression and ask questions on Qur’an and the Sunnah?

    How long shall we admonish you with the Qur’an and Sunnah, for how long will you refer us to your cleric?

    How long shall we tell you that believers are subjected to tests, when would you stop lamenting about your cleric?

     

    … And who sent you to him in the first place?

     

    These are few from the lamentations of a Yoruba woman that detests Islam.

    Fiddling with sand, coded incantations, special eyeliner, chicken for prayers… These have no place in Islam…

     

    Islam is not responsible for the shenanigans between you and your cleric.

    Keep calm and study Islam. #stoptheyorubalizationofIslam

 

  • Yoruba non-Muslims…Speaking Arabic does not mean we are enslaved by the Hausas…Arabic is not the language of the Hausas…

    You don’t need to fear someone speaking Arabic. Arabic language is not equivalent to your Incantations….

    If you allow someone use ‘one-kain’ Arabic to scare you that you run forgetting your shoes and wallet (like I did to someone that wanted to dupe me in portharcourt ? ?) You are on your own…..

     

    #stoptheyorubalizationofIslam

 

  • Dear Yoruba non-Muslim and “Muslims”,If you can’t wear it, don’t crucify him for wearing it.A Muslim that consciously wears his trouser above his ankles, not stepping on it is a Muslim not Tebleegh nor a Boko Haram.

    #stoptheyorubalizationofIslam

 

  • Oh Yoruba non-Muslims and “Muslims”Know that the Niqab wearing woman is not the equivalent of your Masquerades. They are your sisters not “Ara ọrùn (heavenly beings).

    Know! That the more people that wear it, the more your eyes is protected against Fitnah, the more your wife becomes secured as regards you being snatched by the skimpy dressed/half naked women.

     

    Know! That if the society subjects you to lose your heritage, make you dress Half-naked, in that is no freedom. Freedom is choosing to be covered in a world that demands nudity.

    What better way can we define freedom if not someone who chooses what part of her body you see and who sees it?

     

    Yă Akhee!!! Yă Ukhtee!!!!

     

    Guidance has come to you that your trouser is worn above your ankles, your covering is the Niqab, you are not responsible for your guidance.

    Your neighbour is not a sure candidate of hell. Misguidance is not a thing of mockery.

     

    The guided today can go astray tomorrow….

     

    The unguided might be a soldier of Allah tomorrow…

     

    The real joy and pride is dying as a Muslim in submission to the will of Allah and for this we pray that Allah takes us not except as Muslims submitting to the will of Allah. Ameen.

Currently, we have been making progress with the little we have in Enugu area (Phase 1). But with your help, Insha Allah, we will cover the entire east (Phase 2).
Our main area of need is the cost of transportation which amounts to about 34-40 thousand Naira and publishing which the company we penned down for this has said it is a whopping 400 thousand naira.
History of Igbo Muslims

The company is a Muslim owned establishment that has promised us the best publishing. It is good that we patronize ourselves. Please for the sake of Allah, do not hesitate in donating to this course.

Prophet Lucas Bashir and the Okada Rider – Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

Prophecy

Truth be told, religion in Africa is practiced differently compared to other societies. We have heard Pan-Africans, Atheists, Agnostics and religious liberals say, “religion makes people stupid”. This claim has been refuted severally. However, it is true that the actions of some people, who, in the name of religion, have become retarded, have contributed to the misunderstanding of religion.

This morning, I had the opportunity of taking total control over a fully grown man, make money off him and enslave him till he starts to use his senses. Well, I have heard of stories of people who are more gullible.

I got to Ilobu to join the Academy of Islamic Propagation (ACADIP) team against a 2-day lecture which would start tomorrow, 29/11/2019 in Imesi-Ile, Osun State. I and a brother had finished eating at a restaurant when we stopped a bike man.

I asked him to take us to Baba Adepoju’s house but he said he does not know where that is. Another bike man gave him a description and we were good to go.

On our way, I engaged him;

Me: If you do not know Baba Adepoju’s house, then, you are not from Ilobu.

Bike man: No, I am not from Ilobu.

Me: (After thinking that he must be from Ifon since it is close to Ilobu) You are from Ifon then.

Bike man: Yes, I am from Ifon.

After some seconds…

Me: You are not even surprised I know where you are from without knowing you personally. Hmmmmm, I have a spiritual message for you o (jokingly)

Bike man: (Seriously) Sir, please tell me, sir…

Me: No, don’t let me tell you. I don’t want to trouble your mind with this great message. You know, one needs to be careful with delivering a message these days. (I recited some Arabic words)

Bike man: Sir, I am begging you. Even the Bible says the prophet should deliver messages.

Me: Hmmm, see, don’t let me say it. May God save us from family battles…

We got to our destination and we continued;

Bike man: please, add something to my fare for me. (I did). Alfa, please, the money you gave me is as important as what God has revealed to you.

Me: (trying not to laugh) Okay. My message to you is that you should increase your patience and give in charity. When people seek your help, give as little as you can. Do not be selfish…

He almost prostrated to thank me. I and the brother with me took some time to discuss him and how this is the thought process of many Nigerians. They want miracles, they want to hear what vision was seen about them.

This is about both Muslims and Christians. While the Pastor/Prophet claims to have seen a vision, then asks the victim to buy ANOINTING oil which should be used for COOKING, prescribe marathon fast, tell him his Mother is behind his problem, the Alfa, on the other hand, googles on the sand, draw nonsense diagrams on his plate and asks that his victim go bring tortoise shell, lizard tail, 10 rats and later, money.

These shenanigans have destroyed many married, torn parent and child apart, made people bankrupt, made some women enslaved by the so-called prophets and seers, driven some people nuts but when we tell them the truth, they call us lunatics, liars, insensitive and their enemies, they follow and obey sheepishly.

 

Be wise! I told a pastor who said he saw a vision that I will die in 2013, “If you have a vision for me, Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman Lukman, then, you need to prophesy your own date, tell me the date and time. When you now die according to your prophecy, then, I will believe it is the will of God and you saw nothing”

Iro lasan!!!

Before you ask for divorce – Sanni K. Yusuf

0

 

“You’re divorced!” or “Divorce me!” is the last statement any sensitive spouse would utter. It is no sumptuous delicacy to be chewed like gum. But the other way round is the case these days.

When a woman encounters the other side of marriage, quitting the bond occupies her mind as though some angelic man was by the gate to offer her a flawless togetherness.

Where your mind is overridden by such a destructive whisper, seek refuge with your Lord from the accursed. And where that seems not working due to the weight of your spouse’s excess(es) or the degree of your own anger, kindly confide in a trusted cleric to help out. Note: the imam/alfa needs your prayers for guidance too.

Once I arbitrated in a marital imbroglio, the woman sought a divorce from the husband to which the man accented after a grace of days. All efforts exerted to make both parties rescind their decision went into deaf ears.

They were tired of each other after seeds of the womb had been sewn and fruits harvested. The meeting was deadlocked having sat from Asr till Maghrib.

The woman was to observe her ‘iddah as statutorily required by the Sharee’ah. After a while, the woman, in soberness, called to seek an audience with her. There she was advised to go beg her husband, but her man was rather hell bent. When I spoke to him pleadingly, he said:

“Thank you for your efforts so far, imam. I never planned to divorce her. She asked for it. I gave her a few days to think about it. She did and maintained her stance. Now that I am doing her wish, there is no going back! I am sorry, sir.” My persuasions, pacifications were humbly, respectfully rejected. And since I couldn’t forcefully prevail on him, I stayed back.

The day the ‘iddah ended, the woman reached out to me to seek a favour – that I appeal to the man to stay out of the house temporarily since she had nowhere to keep the children and the ‘iddah would be over in few hours. “Didn’t you think of this before you adamantly requested him to divorce you?” I quizzed. The puzzled woman became mute and could no more produce further words.

Wish our women could learn from this. Let’s think of the various disadvantages of divorce before riding on its camel. Sometimes it may be the way to go. But most times, it is not.

How Cat Stevens silenced a journalist

0

British Pop Legend Cat Stevens, who converted to Islam many years ago and since then has been called Yusuf Islam, caused a big fuss in the media during a visit to Turkey.

One of the journalists from the Turkish news agency asked him the following question: “What do you say about Islam that you have now accepted which allows a man to marry four women? How can you logically justify this? How could you accept something like this as a westerner and an enlightened musician?”

Yusuf Islam replied, “You claim to know my previous state. Before I became Muslim, I was with so many women that I don’t even know how many there were.

I wouldn’t even know if I had children from these women. When I lead such a depraved life, you were thrilled by me. Now I have become Muslim and I’m only married to one woman. I don’t intend to marry a second woman either. Just as the Islamic order of life allows the man to marry up to four women, it also imposes on him a number of duties regarding women and children.

In the west, there is no such responsibility. A child doesn’t know his father and a father leaves this world without even once seeing his Children.”
