Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun

My Humble Personal Opinion

When someone posted on Facebook “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun”, certainly he/she knows the main reason why he/she posted so. But, his/her FB friends DON’T.


A community on Facebook is mixed with people “with and without” intensive Islamic educational backgrounds.

Customarily, some were used that when “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun” is pronounced, someone from the closest family, relatives or friends has passed away.

Thus, when they read this phrase posted by their FB friend who happens to be the member of their kin, the initial reaction is they will be shocked, worried and would ask WHO DIED?

Although in Islam, this is not exclusively intended to be supplicated upon someone’s death. But as well as if there are calamities and other untoward incident to befall. That’s why we shouldn’t also let ourselves to be forever ignorant of our Deen.

Moreover, IT’S ok if being uttered privately, whatever the reason why someone says so, IT’S ok.

Notwithstanding, when it's posted on FB, lots of people can read it and as what I’ve said mostly would think that somebody has died.

Again, please note well that we say “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun” when calamity or any bad incident strikes us... loss of life, property or wealth.

Better if your reason for posting so is in response to someone’s death, JUST MENTION NAME or your other reason so as the people on FB who aren’t aware with your reason will not become shocked and worried.

Otherwise, don’t just post it.

"NOT MERELY UZ, EVEN MALACAÑANG HAS NO POLICY PROHIBITING NIQAB"

By: Neocatalyst Late UZ President and CEO who succinctly declared that  “UZ HAS NO POLICY PROHIBITING NIQAB” Via email message dated May 27, 2010, Thursday in response to our lobby on Right to Education as well as Right to Freedom of Religion within the university, the late President and CEO of Universidad de Zamboanga Sir ARTURO "Ammar" EUSTAQUIO III , positively responded thru a succinct declaration that he has made:     “UZ HAS NO POLICY PROHIBITING NIQAB”.   Thus, it is both ironic and unreasonable that a certain niqaabi who was supposed to enroll at Universidad de Zamboanga (UZ) WAS ALLOWED to take the entrance examinations thereat WITHOUT being asked to take off her niqaab; yet, when she passed said exams with highest scores, she was allegedly IMPEDED TO ENROLL by the Pharmacy Department just because she wears niqaab.
