Asalam alaykum   "Or do you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs were Jews or Christians? Say, “Do you know better, or God?” And who does greater wrong than he who conceals a test imony he has from God? God is not unaware of what you do. That was a community that has passed. To them is what they have earned, and to you is what you have earned. And you will not be questioned about what they used to do. The ignorant among the people will say, “What has turned them away from the direction of prayer they once followed?” Say, “To God belong the East and the West. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."Quran 2:140-142 Ma salam.        

Asalam alaykum If they believe in the same as you have believed in, then they have been guided. But if they turn away, then they are in schism. God will protect you against them; for He is the Hearer, the Knower. God’s coloring. And who gives better coloring than God? “And we are devoted to Him.”Say, “Do you argue with us about God, when He is our Lord and your Lord, and We have our works, and you have your works, and we are sincere to Him?”" Quran 2:137-139 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "That was a community that has passed; for them is what they have earned, and for you is what you have earned; and you will not be questioned about what they used to do.   And they say, “Be Jews or Christians, and you will be guided.” Say, “Rather, the religion of Abraham, the Monotheist; he was not an idolater.” Say, “We believe in God; and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses and Jesus; and in what was given to the prophets—from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we surrender." Quran 2:134-136 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "When his Lord said to him, “Submit!” He said, “I have submitted to the Lord of the Worlds.”And Abraham exhorted his sons, and Jacob, “O my sons, God has chosen this religion for you, so do not die unless you have submitted.” Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, and he said to his sons, “What will you worship after Me?” They said, “We will worship your God, and the God of your fathers, Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac; One God; and to Him we submit.”" Quran 2:131- 33 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "Our Lord, and make us submissive to You, and from our descendants a community submissive to You. And show us our rites, and accept our repentance. You are the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.  Our Lord, and raise up among them a messenger, of themselves, who will recite to them Your revelations, and teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them. You are the Almighty, the Wise.” Who would forsake the religion of Abraham, except he who fools himself? We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous." Quran 2:128-130 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "And We made the House a focal point for the people, and a sanctuary. Use the shrine of Abraham as a place of prayer. And We commissioned Abraham and Ishmael, “Sanctify My House for those who circle around it, and those who seclude themselves in it, and those who kneel and prostrate.” When Abraham said, “O My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and provide its people with fruits—whoever of them believes in God and the Last Day.” He said, “And whoever disbelieves, I will give him a little enjoyment, then I will consign him to the punishment of the Fire; how miserable the destiny!” As Abraham raises the foundations of the House, together with Ishmael, “Our Lord, accept it from us, You are the Hearer, the Knower." Quran 2:125-127 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "O Children of Israel! Remember My blessing which I bestowed upon you, and that I have favored you over all people. And beware of a Day when no soul will avail another soul in any way, and no ransom will be accepted from it, and no intercession will benefit it, and they will not be helped. And when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words, and he fulfilled them. He said, “I am making you a leader of humanity.” He said, “And my descendants?” He said, “My pledge does not include the wrongdoers.”"Quran 2:122-124 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "We have sent you with the truth—bringing good news, and giving warnings. You will not be questioned about the inmates of Hell. The Jews and the Christians will not approve of you, unless you follow their creed. Say, “God’s guidance is the guidance.” Should you follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will have in God neither guardian nor helper.Those to whom We have given the Scripture follow it, as it ought to be followed—these believe in it. But as for those who reject it—these are the losers." Quran 2:119-121 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "And they say, “God has begotten a son.” Be He glorified. Rather, His is everything in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him. Originator of the heavens and the earth. Whenever He decrees a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes .  Those who do not know say, “If only God would speak to us, or a sign would come to us.” Thus said those who were before them. Their hearts are alike. We have made the signs clear for people who are certain." Quran 2:116-118 Ma salam.

Hello readers, I will be writing about flood today. Flood is an issue during raining season in Nigeria. This could lead to damages of properties. As such some actions are needed to prevent  flood from entering your building. There are different methods of preventing flood from entering your building, I will writing about three methods. You should  build your office at least three feet above the base flood elevation (BFE). BFE could be found on flood maps or you could hire a licensed surveyor. When there is flood, buildings whose foundation were raised well higher than BFE will not have water in there compound when it rains heavily and everywhere is flooded. In a situation where you have built your office and water enters it when it rains heavily, you could landscape with  vegetation and plants. While doing that, you should intsall an excellent drainage system. This will prevent soil erosion and the water will drain easily. Lasting, water tight shie...

Asalam alaykum "The Jews say, “The Christians are not based on anything;” and the Christians say, “The Jews are not based on anything.” Yet they both read the Scripture. Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences. Who is more unjust than him who forbids the remembrance of God’s name in places of worship, and contributes to their ruin? These ought not to enter them except in fear. For them is disgrace in this world, and for them is a terrible punishment in the Hereafter. To God belong the East and the West.  way you turn, there is God’s presence. God is Omnipresent and Omniscient." Quran 2:113-115 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "And perform the prayer, and give alms. Whatever good you forward for yourselves, you will find it with God. God is Seeing of everything you do.   And they say, “None will enter Heaven unless he is a Jew or a Christian.” These are their wishes. Say, “Produce your proof, if you are truthful.”   In fact, whoever submits himself to God, and is a doer of good, will have his reward with his Lord—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve." Quran 2:110-112 Ma salam

Asalam alaykum "Do you not know that to God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and that apart from God you have no guardian or helper?  Or do you want to question your Messenger as Moses was questioned before? Whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has strayed from the right path.  Many of the People of the Book wish to turn you back into unbelievers after you have believed, out of envy on their part, after the Truth has become clear to them. But pardon and overlook, until God brings His command. God has power over all things." Quran 2:107-109 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "O you who believe! Do not say ambiguous words, but say words of respect, and listen. The disbelievers will have a painful torment. It is never the wish of the disbelievers from among the People of the Book, nor of the polytheists, that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But God chooses for His mercy whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. We never nullify a verse, nor cause it to be forgotten, unless We bring one better than it, or similar to it. Do you not know that God is capable of all things?" Quran 2:104-106 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum "And when there came to them a messenger from God, confirming what they had, a faction of those who were given the Book threw the Book of God behind their backs, as if they do not know. And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, “We are a test, so do not lose faith.” But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with God's permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew.   Had they believed and been righteous, the reward from God would have been better, if they only knew...

Asalam alaykum "Whoever is hostile to God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael—God is hostile to the faithless.  We have revealed to you clear signs, and none rejects them except the sinners. Is it not that whenever they make a covenant, some of them toss it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe." Quran 2:98-100 Ma salam.

  Asalam alaykum "But they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have forwarded. God is aware of the evildoers. You will find them, of all mankind, the most eager for life, even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes he could live a thousand years; but to be granted a long life will not nudge him from the punishment. God is Seeing of what they do. Say, “Whoever is hostile to Gabriel—it is he who revealed it to your heart by God’s leave, confirming what preceded it, and guidance and good news for the believers."  Quran 2:95-97 Ma salam.
