Muslims do you believe in the boogeyman?

The Hadith

(Bukhari vol. IV, no. 516)

"Satan lives in the upper part of the nose all night."

(Muslim vol 1, no. 462)

Abu Haraira reported: The apostle of Allah said, "When any one of you wakes up from your sleep and performs abulation, he must clean his nose three times, for the devil spends the night in the interior of his nose."

    Yep, they actually believe this stuff. Just watch a muslim perform ablution. They actually do it.

    Another is that when someone oversleeps and is late for morning prayer, it implies satan has peed in his ear during the night. That's why they wash over their ears during ablution.

    There are loads more. Some are really imaginative. Gotta admire mohammed for his 'creativity'

    Nose:

    Again devil/Jinn mean hidden/evil things that may harm you. So when you wake up wash our nose because harmful bacteria may have multiplied while you are sleeping. We all can verify that we wake up with our nasal passages congested and need few blows and clean out. What is wrong with this advice. You are just fishing in still water to target vocabulary used. Focus on the wisdom on the vocabulary used as there was no word for bacteria those days it is a recent discovery.

    By the way white and black in the judgement day is nothing related to being white and black in this life. Do you have any brains or logic or you just want to be sound smart. Be ready for a smart answer in the day of judgement then.

    there is no such element because the boogeyman, yet radical Islam is actual. there is an inner conflict interior Islam now; no longer all are radical, however the radicals are disproportionately vocal. i might want to choose to take heed to bigger from Muslims who carry their co-religionists responsible for undesirable habit. In time, i'm positive there'll be. in the intervening time, we would want to get waiting for the international disaster. and that i'm no longer speaking about international warming; if we do not take care of radical Islam, lets have Nuclear wintry climate formerly the ice caps get a chance to soften.

    That would be 'bogeyman'. I think Glenn Miller was the 'Boogeyman'.

    By the way ZACK, Bigfoot is an American creation is it not??
