  Is it fare to exempt people who have toiled their whole lives pursuing the cause of a Islam to be exempted from enjoyment in the hereafter because of the colour of their skins? I think some of them have sacrificed a lot by abstaining from wine in order to prepare their throats for the Great Beyond where there are rivers of wine flowing(Sura47:15; 76:5&21; 83:25-29). It is also unfair to deny black African access to the Islamic heaven where there are a lot of Marriages and Sex. (56:10-22,35-38). The lowliest of the inhabitants of the Islamic heaven will have 72 wives- I am wondering how much wives will the district and regional chief Imams will get and how many our old Sheik Sharubutu will also get. Hmmmmmmm!

  Why don't you quote from the authentic hadiths such as Muslim and Bukhari, or the rightly guided companions and scholars but quote from Abu Darda. If you want to know Islam better you have to follow authentic hadiths. Not hadiths whose sources you can't authenticate.
  
  In any case the prophet explained how God created black and white race from Adam. Then in the second sentence refer to how GOD will separate the righteous(on right) from the unrighteous(on the left) on the day of judgement. Those who will be on the right side( black or white) go to heaven and those on the left(black or white)go to hell.
  
  If black man will not go to heaven then the prophet will not tell Bilal Ibn Rabah, who was a black that he heard his footsteps in heaven.
  
  Abu Harariah reported the Prophet pbuh said, "At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet asked Bilal, "Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise." Bilal replied, "I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me." Bukhari 2. 250
  
  By the way if Qur'an tell muslims about what they will get in heaven what is your business if you don't believe in the prophet who is mentioned by name as "mahamad-dim" in songs of Solomon 5:16 of the original Hebrew bible.
  
  Go to biblehub.com and read the bible in the original Hebrew text you will find the name "Mahamad" in songs 5:16
  
  Any ways tell us about what your perspective of paradise is if you think otherwise instead of this 'mischief' you have been posting.
  
  May God open your eyes to do your own research instead of following "pastor say" this or that.
  
  People did more than what you are doing but by the end of the day they can't do nothing to the truth.
  
  You have the choice to accept or reject the Qur'an even though you can't tell me a single verse of Qur'an which says black man will not go to paradise. By the way there is difference between heaven and paradise. Everybody will go to heaven but not everybody goes to paradise. Ask yourself where is the location of hell if you deny what am saying.

  ''We have been vice presidents for far too long, it is time you make ONE OF YOUR OWN President.'' John Mahama.
  
  WHAT ARE THE REST OF US TO JOHN MAHAMA?
  
  THE USELESS NDC IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
  TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
  THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
  Everything that units us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
  We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

  Mahama is following the prescriptions of the OIC who are more dangerous than the IMF. You remember AMA banning churches in classrooms, Northern Regional Minister accusing the Christian clergy of encouraging politicians to be corrupt. These are all plans aimed at suppressing Christianity to please the OIC.
  OIC means Organization of Islamic Countries. They have member nations across the globe and Prez Mahama is seriously working hard to send Ghana to OIC's Observer Status so that he can get some funding to buy votes in the Zongos and other Muslim communities since such funds are only allowed to be spent in such places. One of the conditions needed to qualify to the OIC Observer Status is to scrap Christian mission schools. Ghanaians must be careful since a similar thing happened in Nigeria under the military regime of Gen Babangida and it brought a lot of chaos in that country and collapsed their secondary school education. Ghanaian Catholic Bishops should please contact Bishop Jatau of Kaduna State

  The president has been saying that he tried to introduce electronic payment and acquisition systems into the public sector {to reduce human contact with cash} in his effort to fighting corruption, but lamented that the systems were often resisted.
  
  This has become so monotonous that Ghanaians are beginning to wonder whether the president is actually serious and interested in fighting corruption as he claims, or it's just another crocodile's tears to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he is making an effort, while the government and its cronies amass billions of dollars at the expense of this struggling HIPC nation.
  Why should Ghanaians hire a president that can't even introduce an electronic system successfully into the public sector to save us from criminals masquerading as civil servants? Mr. Mahama must be seen to be fighting corruption with all his might rather than go on lamenting helplessly like the rest of us who hired him to do the job.

  The president was 100% right. So far ghanaian Muslims have behaved extremely well. The Christian folks n leaders strangely, are exhibiting all sorts of extremist n fundamentalist traits. SHOCKING.

  Was there any problem at all in the first place to require dialogue between us? Your wicked intentions initiated all these. You try to court Muslim sympathy for 2016. When you are able to get a fraction of us in addition to your inward looking tribes and Bonos, then you are gone. That is your strategy to cover your failures. But I tell you, destruction await your evil intentions! God does not share your household.

  As president, you shouldn't have included the Muslim/Christian brouhaha in you SOTN address. The you should have done is look for the main reason why this has become an issue in the first place because Christians/Muslims have had cordial relationship dating back to pre-independent era so, the question why now?
  
  Your advisors failed you big time. Today, as I was listening to Kwame Sefa Kayi's program, all the callers who called the station were asking the same question like "why now" meaning they do not understand what is actually going on in Ghana. The two religious group had have good and amicable relationship including interfaith marriages so, where from all this "out of nowhere" misunderstanding?
  
  Mahama, I will blame you if this generate into something beyond your control.

  Definitely, Ghana has sank low with such a President who is stupid. When you listen to the way he talks, you can tell he's evil and controvertial. I tell you why he's not your usual role model - his marriage, and all the affairs he had. How could Ghana have made such a mistake to accept a man who is married but at the same time have many children on the side. It simply means he's not to be trusted.

  Some of our christian brothers and sisters have suddenly developed hatred and disrespect towards muslims becuase of Boko haram and IS. To some of them, every muslim is terrorist.
  We have to know that the fight in the middle east is about oil, land, power and wealth. it has nothing to do with ISLAM or religious.
  In india muslim population is about 138million
  indonesia is 205 million 88%
  malaysia 17 million 64%
  the question we have to ask why we dont see such things over there.
  we have to be open minded and support each other not to fight over religion which is suppose to unite us.
  Thats why in most advance conuntries. eg. Sweden. only 18% of the population believe in religion or God.
  but they are prosperous whilst we are
  strugling with poverty and fighting over religion
