African Pastor Caught On Video Playing Football With His Members Inside The Church
~4.1 mins read
Wonders they say, shall never end. So many things are happening this days that one may begin to think the world is coming to an end. An African pastor has been caught on video, playing football with his members inside the church during sermon.
The video that was released on social media by @supercomediantv, captured a well dressed pastor delivering Sunday sermon in his church. Although z it wasn't clear what the message was all about, but he was seen calling a man from the congregation to come and play with him, a football he had kept on the floor.
It was depicted from the video that the first man that came playing with the pastor was dribbled, and so were the rest of other men that followed. And before one of the players fell on the floor, the pastor was heard chanting words like 'you can't dribble Jesus Christ' and 'Jesus is the best player'. The congregation watched the game with enthusiasm and delight.
The video that has gone viral on social media, did not put clear the type of message the preacher was preaching that has brought about such illustration. The congregation that was filled with laughter and curiosity, watched how their dear pastor was dribbling many men and some, did not even touch the ball before they were thrown to the floor like a child practicing how to walk.
Meanwhile, they have been several reactions on Twitter, following the release of the above video. The video elicited numerous comments, most of which are against the action of the pastor and his members. According to them, church is a sacred place of worship not a football field or stadium, and so, it should be treated with respect. They are those who find the action humorous and untrue as they feel it is impossible for one man to dribble many persons as the pastor did. Below are screenshots of some of the comments:

See The Only Sin That God Cannot Forgive, With Bible Verses.
~1.3 mins read
God is merciful but he is also a consuming fire. But as merciful as He is, there is a particular sin he cannot forgive, it's called blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. This means saying things against the holy Spirit. Below are quotations from the Bible to support the above statement.
Mark 3:28-30 : 28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. 30 - Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit
Matthew 12:30-32 : "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, any sin and blasphemy can be forgiven. But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the
age to come."
Luke 12:8-10 : "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."

It Is Not Permissible To Prostrate To Anyone Other Than Allah - Islam For Muslims
~4.8 mins read
Praise be to Allah.
The Companions of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to honour him and venerate him, and venerate his Sunnah. In the early days of Islam, when some of them saw that the People of the Book prostrated to their bishops and patriarchs, they thought that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was more deserving of that, out of respect for him and veneration of him. But the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade them to prostrate to him.
Ibn Maajah (1853) and al-Bayhaqi (14711) narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa said: When Mu‘aadh ibn Jabal came from Syria, he prostrated to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), who said, “What is this, O Mu‘aadh?†He said, I went to Syria and saw them prostrating to their archbishops and patriarchs, and I wanted to do that for you. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, “Do not do that. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman can fulfil her duty towards Allah until she fulfils her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.â€
This version was narrated by Ibn Maajah, and was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
Abu Dawood (2140) and al-Haakim (2763) narrated that Qays ibn Sa‘d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went to al-Heerah and saw them prostrating to a noble of theirs (i.e., a courageous knight who was prominent among them). I thought: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is more deserving that people should prostrate to him. So I came to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: I went to al-Heerah and saw them prostrating to a noble of theirs, but you are the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and are more deserving that people should prostrate to you. He said: “Do not do that. If I were to instruct anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would have instructed women to prostrate to their husbands, because of the rights that Allah has given them over them.â€
Classed as saheeh by al-Haakim, and adh-Dhahabi agreed with him. Also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Ibn Hibbaan (4162) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) entered one of the gardens of the Ansaar, where he saw two restless camels. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) draw close to them and they knelt down and lay their necks on the ground. Those who were with him said: They have prostrated to him. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “It is not appropriate for anyone to prostrate to anyone else. If it were appropriate for anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have instructed the wife to prostrate to her husband, because of the great rights that Allah has given him over her.â€
Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel (7/54)
Thus the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) explained to them that prostration should only be to Allah, and that venerating people and honouring them should not be done by prostrating to them.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Prostration is for Allah alone, and the law of Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is the most perfect and most complete of laws, according to which it is not permissible to prostrate to anyone or anything other than Allah, either by way of greeting or by way of worship. As for worship, it cannot be devoted to any except Allah alone, according to all laws and teachings, but in the past prostration was used as a greeting and by way of honouring people, as the parents and brothers of Yoosuf did, and as the angels did to Adam. This was by way of greeting and showing respect, not by way of worship. But according to the law of Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has forbidden that and has made prostration for Allah alone, may He be glorified and exalted; it is not permissible to prostrate to anyone else, either the Prophets or others, to the extent that Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade anyone to prostrate to him and stated that prostration is for Allah alone, may He be glorified and exalted.
