This discussion explores whether Islam predates Prophet Muhammad. The common belief is that Islam is an eternal religion, dating back to Adam, the first man as per the Quran. However, a logical view suggests otherwise.

Throughout history, many cultures have practiced monotheism or non-idolatrous faiths, such as Judaism and Zoroastrianism. These groups did not see themselves in conflict with idol worshippers, nor did they claim to be Muslims or follow Islamic laws. They simply practiced their faiths without the need for Islamic rituals like Ramadan or five daily prayers.

According to this reasoning, Islam as a distinct religion began with Prophet Muhammad. Before that, there was no concept of Muslims or Islamic practices. The idea that Islam predates Muhammad is not supported by historical or logical evidence.

Throughout history, many of the world's gods have been depicted as Black, including Osiris, Zeus, Hermes, Krishna, Buddha, Dionysus, Jesus, Horus, and our own deities like Shango, Amadioha, and Ogun.

Why do many Africans turn to external, non-African religions for guidance and salvation? The answer often lies in colonial influence and cultural brainwashing.

It's time to reconnect with our ancestral spirituality. Names like Olodumare and Chukwu are simply different titles for the same divine source.

Our ancestors knew the true nature of God long before colonial powers invaded our land. Why worship foreign deities when our own gods are Black and rooted in our culture? It's time to revive and embrace our spiritual heritage.

Deep Dive into the Spiritual Meaning of the Seven Days of Creation

This post explores France's colonial history marked by violence, exploitation, and atrocities against Muslim communities. From the brutal suppression of Algerian independence to the destruction of cultural and spiritual sites across North Africa, France's legacy is deeply scarred by these acts.

Historical events such as the mass executions of Muslim scholars in Chad, the massacre in Laghouat, and nuclear tests in Algeria reveal a pattern of systemic brutality. These actions have left lasting impacts, including environmental damage, health issues, and loss of life. The colonial era also saw widespread violence during the Algerian war of independence, with millions of Muslims killed.

Beyond Algeria, France’s occupation of Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania involved similar oppression and resistance. During Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt, sacred Islamic sites were desecrated, and women were violated, reflecting a profound disrespect for Islamic traditions.

Despite these dark chapters, some still celebrate French civilization, ignoring the brutal realities of its colonial past. Today, Islam faces unjust stereotypes, and the legacy of violence is often overlooked. Remembering this history is vital to understanding the true impact of colonialism and its lasting scars.

Many well-known Nigerian pastors like Adeboye, Kumuyi, Oyedepo, and Olukoya often travel with bodyguards and police escorts. They also use bulletproof cars for safety. This raises questions: Is this a sign of lack of faith? Or is it a matter of wisdom and protection?

In Nigeria, a country with high rates of kidnapping and violence, even prominent men of God are perceived as targets. Historically, the Bible shows that Jesus and His disciples took measures to protect themselves. For example, Jesus encouraged His disciples to buy swords for protection (Luke 22:36-38). Jesus also had followers who helped shield Him from threats, such as when He was nearly stoned (John 10:31-39). This suggests that safeguarding oneself can be compatible with faith.

Ultimately, the decision to use bodyguards may be a practical response to the realities of safety in Nigeria, balancing faith with wisdom. It is a personal choice that many spiritual leaders consider carefully to continue their mission without harm.

Are you in need of prayer support? The story in Mark 2:3-12 shows how faith-filled friends can bring healing through persistent prayer. When the paralytic was carried by four friends who believed in Jesus, their faith led to a miraculous healing. If you feel your faith is weak, seek out prayer partners who believe with you and can pray until God answers.

Having faithful prayer partners is essential. Jesus emphasized the power of agreement in prayer (Matthew 18:19). Reflect on your prayer life—do you pray regularly, and do you pray for others? To find support, be willing to also be a prayer partner for others. Let’s remember our fallen soldiers this ANZAC Day and pray for those fighting on the front lines, that they may find comfort and strength in Jesus.

Ideologies, whether spiritual or secular, significantly influence human societies. While religion has historically unified or divided people, non-spiritual ideologies like capitalism and socialism have also fueled conflicts, especially in modern times.

Human beings are inherently collaborative. Our progress depends on working together. When people unite, they can solve complex problems more effectively. However, ideologies tend to thrive in large communities, often leading to conflicts and violence.

Understanding the origins and effects of these beliefs is crucial. Before Christianity, most wars were fought over territory rather than ideological differences. Today, ideologies can be dangerous if left unchecked. Teaching critical thinking from a young age can help prevent fanaticism and promote peaceful coexistence.

The College of Cardinals currently has 252 members, with 134 eligible to vote—those under 80 years old. Most electors—over 80%—were appointed by Pope Francis, while the rest are holdovers from previous pontiffs Benedict XVI and John Paul II.

Archbishop Emeritus Cañizares of Valencia has announced he will not participate in the upcoming papal election due to health concerns. His withdrawal slightly reduces Spain’s voting influence in the conclave from seven to six cardinals and decreases the total number of voting cardinals worldwide from 135 to 134.

Cañizares, aged 79, has been a significant figure in the Spanish Catholic Church for decades. Appointed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006, he has served as archbishop in both Toledo and Valencia. He has also been vice president of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference twice. His strong connections to both Rome and Spanish Catholicism have made him an influential voice in Church affairs globally.

Growth is about expansion—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. The Bible teaches us that God desires to enlarge our boundaries and strengthen our foundations. Scriptures like Psalm 18:36, 1 Chronicles 4:10, and Isaiah 54:2 remind us that enlargement is part of divine purpose.

To experience true growth, we must learn from those who are more experienced and successful. As Dr. John Maxwell shares, stepping out of our comfort zones and seeking wisdom from bigger leaders can be intimidating but ultimately rewarding. Growth is a daily climb, not a passive experience. Remember, change starts with your direction, and with the right mindset, you can move toward your greater potential.

Good evening, Naijaworlders.

I am a long-time member of Naijaworld, and I am sharing my current difficult situation. Please ignore any grammatical errors and read to the end.

I got married in 2023 after knowing my wife for over 10 years. Despite red flags and warnings, I thought she would change after marriage. Unfortunately, she has a high temper and often destroys things, influenced by her mother.

A few months after our wedding, she insisted we build on her land, which I initially refused. Eventually, I agreed, and we built a house with her money, with a verbal agreement that I would repay her. Moving into the house brought more problems, especially because it’s close to her mother’s house. She often leaves after disagreements, sometimes staying away for days.

Her mother has also caused issues, insulting me and my family, and even threatening my life and my wife’s. My wife got pregnant after 8 months of marriage, and her behavior worsened. She changed hospitals without my consent and demanded money for antenatal care, threatening me if I didn’t comply. She has even threatened to kill me and herself.

Recently, she left the house with the baby’s belongings, and her family has asked me to leave as well. I am currently unemployed and struggling financially. I am pleading for help to find a safe place, rent a house, or any form of assistance. I am willing to pay back any borrowed money or meet in person for verification.

Please, well-meaning Nigerians, assist me in this difficult time. I am desperate for support to save my life and start anew. Thank you for your understanding and kindness.

Discover the importance of walking with God and understanding His ways. The Bible teaches that God's ways are higher than ours, and trusting in His Word is essential for true safety and prosperity. Just as God provided daily sustenance to the Israelites, He promises to meet all our needs when we walk obediently with Him.

Jesus reassured His followers that their needs would be taken care of as they walk in God's ways, emphasizing that life is more than just physical needs like food and clothing. By trusting in God's Word and His promises, we can experience His divine benevolence and guidance.

Begin your journey today by aligning with God's Word. Trust in His promises, and you will see His blessings unfold in your life. Let us pray for divine strength to always rely on God's infallible Word. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Walking in God's Ways: A Path to Safety and Prosperity

Humans are bound by the laws of nature, such as gravity, which normally prevent us from walking on water. However, when God intervenes, these natural laws can be suspended. For example, in Matthew 14:22-32, Peter walks on water until he begins to sink, and Jesus saves him. This story shows how divine power can override natural limitations.

In Acts 12:5-11, an angel releases Peter from prison, causing chains to fall off and doors to open on their own. This demonstrates how God's involvement can break through seemingly impossible barriers. I pray that any locked doors in your life will open by the Holy Spirit, allowing you to reach heights your enemies cannot hinder. Just as God surprised Herod by freeing Peter, He is about to surprise your adversaries too.

Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who wait on the Lord will gain strength and soar like eagles above obstacles. The Holy Spirit will elevate you beyond every limitation, removing barriers from your path. He will empower your steps, making you resilient and fearless, like a hind running freely over rough terrains. I pray that the Holy Spirit lifts you above every challenge in Jesus’ name.
