Waislamu Tanzania Wagoma Kushiriki Sensa 2012

Kikundi cha waislamu Tanzania wagoma kushiriki sensa itakayofanyika Mwezi wa nane tarehe 26 mwaka 2012. 

Hizi ndio sababu zao:

Nchi imeshafanyiwa sensa mara sita 1948, 1957, 1967, 1978, 1988 na 2002. Majibu yalikuwa kama hivi. 

Mwaka                                     Waislamu      Wakristo     Wapagani

1957(Muda wa Ukoloni)           58%                 32%               10%

1967 (Muda wa Uhuru)            31.4%              33.5%            34.3%

1988 (Muda wa Uhuru)            Kipengele cha Dini kilitolewa

2002 (Muda wa Uhuru)            Kipengele cha Dini kilitolewa

2012 (Miaka 50 ya Uhuru)                                  ?

Kesi inakuja mwaka 1967 miaka kumi baada ya sensa ya wakoloni, wapagani walizidi idadi yao kwa asilimia 24.3 na waislamu walipungua kwa asilimia 26.6, na wakristo waliongezeka kwa asimilia 1.5. Yaani, asimilia 25 ya waislamu waliacha dini zao kuwa Wapagani au ilikuwaje? Madai ni kwamba, haya majibu yalicheleweshwa kutolewa na yalirushwa mitamboni bila wananchi kuelezwa habari hizi.  Waislamu, kisa cha mgomo ni kwamba hawaamini hivi vyombo vinavyo fanya hii sensa na wanataka kipengele cha dini kiwekwe au sivyo HAISABIWI MTU!!!. Wanataka kiwekwe kurekebisha makosa yaliyo pita. Habari ndio hiyo.

Not Ready to have kids yet?

Well you might want to rethink that decision. The study below tells another story.......

A genetic study has added to evidence that the increase in some mental disorders may be due to men having children later in life.
An Icelandic company found the number of genetic mutations in children was directly related to the age of their father when they were conceived.One prominent researcher suggested young men should consider freezing their sperm if they wanted to have a family in later life.The research is published in Nature.

According to Dr Kari Stefansson, of Decode Genetics, who led the research, the results show it is the age of men, rather than women, that is likely to have an effect on the health of the child.

"Society has been very focused on the age of the mother. But apart from [Down's Syndrome] it seems that disorders such as schizophrenia and autism are influenced by the age of the father and not the mother".

Dr Stefansson's team sequenced the DNA of 78 parents and their children.This revealed a direct correlation between the number of mutations or slight alterations to the DNA, of the child and the age of their father.The results indicate that a father aged 20 passes, on average, approximately 25 mutations, while a 40-year-old father passes on about 65. The study suggests that for every year a man delays fatherhood, they risk passing two more mutations on to their child.

What this means in terms of the impact on the health of the child is unclear. But it does back studies that also show fathers are responsible for mutations and that these mutations increase with age.And, for the first time, these results have been quantified and they show that 97% of all mutations passed on to children are from older fathers. Read the full story here...

Eid Mubarak!

Its official! No Moon sighted in the Middle east and the west on Friday, making Eid to Fall on Sunday as that puts us on a full 30 day month fast. The moon sighting committees in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have confirmed that the Shawal moon was not sighted on Friday Evening. The Fiqh Council of North America concurs as well. Tanzania Seems to follow suit, nothing has been announced by BAKWATA(Baraza Kuu la Waislamu Tanzania) on the moon sighting. So Kesho kufunga kama kawa.

 However, in the Nothern tribal areas of Pakistan (N.Waziristan and Shabqadar) are celebrating their eid on Saturday. The local Islamic scholars in the main mosque of Miranshah collected six evidences of moon sighting from six different witnesses, who claimed to have sighted the moon.  So Eid Mubarak to folks in the Northern Area of Pakistan, for the rest of you folks, Ramadhan is about patience, so persevere for another day.

On a side note: The UAE and Saudi Arabia have declared a 10 day public holiday. Shiiish! Must be Nice.

The Tasbih Prayer

Do you know what the Tasbih Prayer is? I didn't until recently, and when I asked around about it, it seemed a lot of folks didn't either. So what is it? I mean we know when someone does the tasbih after prayer, you know your alhamdu's, astaghfiru's , etc. But now there is a prayer for it? Turns out yes.

Prophet Mohammed(S.A.W) once told his uncle; "O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not show you something by means of which Allah Ta' ala will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the past and the recent, the unintentional and the intentional, the small and huge, the secret and open?" 

The prophet then taught him the Tasbih prayer. He then advised him to offer it daily if possible, and if not then every Friday or once a month or once a year or at least once in one's life time. This prayer is offered in four Rakkas, and in each Rakka you will recite the Tasbih as follows;

 "Subhana Allah Wal Hamdullilahi Wa laa illaha ila llahu Wallahu Akbar". 

The Goal is to recite it 300 times in four Rakka's. So You say it 15 times after you say your Surah Al-Fatiha and a surah, then 10 times at Ruku,  10 times after coming out of Ruku, 10 times during sajdas. Basically, for every position you change, after you say your normal Tasbihs there, then you say this Tasbih.

I leave you with a beautiful Tasbih recitation. Enjoy!

Zogo la Malawi na Tanzania Kwishniii

Finally zogo la kugombania mipaka ya lake nyasa limeisha okay not quite.Kisa choote, ni makampuni ya nje ya mafuta yanataka kuingia dili na Malawi, na kuwapa ideas zisizo kuwa na kichwa wala mguu. Baada ya Tanzania kuzitaka ndege zinazozunguka ziwa Nyasa upande wa Tanzania kufanya utafiti wa mafuta kuondoka fasta mpaka kieleweke, Malawi imekubali na kuziondoa ndege hizo.

Hizi ndio ramani zilizo zagaa google, hiyo mistari ya manjano ndio inayo onyesha mipaka ya nchi. kweli sisi tulikuwa tumelala wakati haya yanaendelea.
