Uganda Muslim Brothers and Sisters(UMBS) Marhaban مرحبا 
Dear Brothers,
You’re talking about Kaketo , you’re in mess and you’re going to get in problems the more, He has sold Muslim Girls to born again churches, he sold a plot for Muslim Suni to the owner of quality supermarket in old kampala and planed with quality chemicals that it was expired, He sold another plot in old kampala above Indian mosque next ujcc to a munyanda man who owns horizon buses.
He has sold a plot for Muslim sunni association on ben Kiwanuks worthy of billion dollars to his distance cousine,He has sold a plot next Muslims soon offices , of which the offices have also been sold. These are two flats each holding over 20 houses. he has sold a plot where there was a nursery school separating Muslim suni association with kiseka market.
All these were some of the only prime property that were remaining in kampala.
All these were blessed by Mubaje,
Kaketo is the chairman of Muslim sunni association.
For your information, kaketo refused Islamic Development bank to buld a mult billion dollar project to support iuiu at clock tower and ended up selling it to basjabalaba and the group. A case is in court over that.
Just pray and take your children to school and we plan for another generation of Muslim leader. What we call our so called muslim leaders are mafias they are not evn near to Christians whom they call kufurs ha neither non believers but true enemies of Islam who have waged a war ageist them, Let us come out with Invistigative journalism to exposes them but we avoid savage confrontational for, that is where they are driving us so that they emerge the winner in the eyes of they fellow enemies of Islam.
Challenge kaketo to tell you the position of Muslim properties where he is the chairman.
Karim semuju.
for sur it is sad to hear what brother semuju said.Allah trusted this religion islam to be forever and remember those are only buildings he sold.if we still have muslims in heart we shall build others and he will face Allah one day with his effort for making islam a loughing stock.
any way muslims should be awake for what they put up for islam so as we need much to help islam we need much of trust in what we are doing and follow are projects whnever we build insha llah
Allah karim and rich we are poor …
Assalam alikum brothers and sisters for the effort made may Allah rewards accordingly

Introduction
it is noteworthy that the Qur’an has some very positive things to say about Christians. These are not nominal Christians, but rather true Christians who are true followers of Christ. Notice the following Qur’anic descriptions:
… nearest among them in love to the believers (Muslims) will thou find those who say, “We are Christians” because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.
Surat-ul Maida (5):82
When Jesus found unbelief on their part, he said, “Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?” Said the disciples: “We are God’s helpers; we believe in God, and do thou bear witness that we are muslims (those who bow to God’s will). Our Lord! We believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Apostle (Jesus); then write us down among those who bear witness. ”
Surat-u Ali-Imran (3):52-53
Said the Disciples (of Jesus), “We are God’s helpers!” Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed (became followers of Jesus), and a portion disbelieved. But We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
Surat-us Saff (61):14
Behold! God said: “O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme. I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith to the Day of Resurrection.”
Surat-u Ali Imran (3):55
We sent after them (the prophets) Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy.
Surat-ul Hadid (57):27
Note:
All Qur’anic references are from “The Holy Quran / Translation and Commentary” by Yusuf Ali.
All Biblical references are from the New International Version (NIV).
——————————————————————————–
The Claim that the Qur’an Came to Replace the Bible
Many Muslims contend that the Qur’an, the Holy Book of Islam, came to replace the Holy Books of the Jews and Christians, as contained in the Bible, because they became corrupted, altered, outdated, lost, etc. However, the Qur’an itself says no such thing. Instead the Qur’an declares that it was sent to confirm the previous revelations. It should be understood that if something is to be confirmed, then that something is of extreme importance, especially if God does the confirming! Notice now the following references. The Qur’an did not come to correct, replace, annul, modify, or do away with; it came to CONFIRM!
And believe in what I reveal, confirming the revelation which is with you…
Surat-ul Baqara (2):41
And when there comes to them a Book (Qur’an) ftom God, confirming what is with them…
Surat-ul Baqara (2):89
… yet they reject all beside, even if it (Qur’an) be truth confirming what is with them.
Surat-ul Baqara (2):91
And when there came to them an apostle (Muhammad) of God confirming what was with them…
Surat-ul Baqara (2):101
And before this (Qur’an) was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy; and this book (Qur’an) confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue.
Surat-ul Ahqaf (46):12
And this is a book (Qur’an) which We have seat down, bringing blessings and confirming (the revelations) which came before it.
Surat-ul An’am (6):92
If you were to die tonight are you 100% sure that You would go to heaven?
Have you ever lied (even once–fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen anything (the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, “Whoever looks upon a woman or a man to lust after her or him, has committed adultery already with her or him in their heart.” Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said “Yes” to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments.
That’s how God sees you. Nothing is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? For All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
(Romans 3:23) Listen to your conscience.
You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you to be forgiven. He sent His Son to take your punishment: “God showed His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, (enemies of God) Christ died for us”. (Romans 5:8).” He was bruised for our iniquities (crucified for our Sins). Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. He is your “ticket” to Heaven. He is the “way,” He is the “Door,” the only “mediator.” There is salvation in no other name.
How can I be reconciled (make peace) with God?
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. “ 1 John 1:8 -10
“If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will be saved (have salvation)” (Romans 10:9) .
So pray something like this: “Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. Fill me full of your Holy Spirit (God the Spirit) and make me whole, mind body, and spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read (see John 14:21), God will never let you down. Talk to God every day in Prayer. Find a church where the bible is taught as the complete Word of God and is the final authority
Assurance as a believer
Jesus said “I’m telling you the most solemn and sober truth now. Whoever believes in me has real life, eternal life”. (John 6:47)
Jesus said,” I am the Way (The True path), the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father in Heaven, but through Me”. (John 14:6)
Jesus said, “All who believe in God’s Son have eternal life. Those who don’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life, but the wrath of God remains upon them.” (John 3:36)
Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again. They are given eternal life for believing in me and will never perish. (John 11:25-26)
Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:. And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my
hand. (John 10:27 -28)
Jesus said, “I assure you, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!” (John 8:51)
The Apostle John wrote “My purpose in writing is simply this, that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life”. (1John 5:13)
“For God so loved he world that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus) that who so ever believes in him should not perish (go to Hell), but have everlasting life In Heaven)”.

or Will all Muslims go to Hell?
From the entry under Martyrs in The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam by Cyril Glassé:
Believers who die for their faith, in defense of it, or persecuted for it, are assured of Heaven. They are buried as they died, unwashed and in the same clothes, the bloodstains testifying to their state.
This is also expressed in various hadiths. For example we find in Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 621:
Narrated Al-Mughira:
Our Prophet has informed us our Lord’s Message that whoever of us is martyred, will go to Paradise.
The following passages of the Qur’an support the general Muslim belief that the martyrs go to paradise immediately:
And if ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah,
forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.
And if ye die, or are slain, Lo! it is unto Allah that ye are brought together.
— Sura 3:157-158 Al ‘Imran (The Family of Imran)
Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead.
Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;
— Sura 3:169 Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods;
for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:
a promise binding on Him in truth,
through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an:
and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?
then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded:
that is the achievement supreme.
— Sura 9:111 At-Tawbah (The Repentance):
On the other hand, we read also that,
There will be not one of you but will pass (Waridu-ha) through it (Hell).
This was an inevitable decree of your Lord.
Afterwards he may save some of the pious, God-fearing Muslims out of the burning fire.
— Sura 19:71-72 Mary (Maryam)
Question: “Is Jesus the only way to Heaven?”
Answer: “I’m basically a good person, so I’ll go to heaven.” “OK, so I do some bad things, but I do more good things, so I’ll go to heaven.” “God won’t send me to hell just because I don’t live by the Bible. Times have changed!” “Only really bad people like child molesters and murderers go to hell.”
These are all common rationalizations, but the truth is that they are all lies. Satan, the ruler of the world, plants these thoughts in our heads. He, and anyone who follows his ways, is an enemy of God (1Peter 5:8). Satan is a deceiver and often disguises himself as someone good (2 Corinthians 11:14), but he has control over all the minds that do not belong to God. “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4).
It is a lie to believe that God doesn’t care about small sins or that hell is reserved for “bad people.” All sin separates us from God, even a “little white lie.” Everyone has sinned, and no one is good enough to get to heaven on their own (Romans 3:23). Getting into heaven is not based on whether our good outweighs our bad; we will all lose out if that is the case. “And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace” (Romans 11:6). We can do nothing good to earn our way to heaven (Titus 3:5).
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it” (Matthew 7:13). Even if everyone else is living a life of sin in a culture where trusting in God is not popular, God will not excuse it. “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient” (Ephesians 2:1-2).
When God created the world, it was perfect and good. Then he made Adam and Eve and gave them their own free will, so they would have a choice whether to follow and obey God. But they were tempted by Satan to disobey God, and they sinned. This separated them (and everyone that came after them, including us) from being able to have a close relationship with God. He is perfect and holy and must judge sin. As sinners, we couldn’t reconcile ourselves to God on our own. So God made a way that we could be united with Him in heaven. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Jesus was born to die for our sins so that we would not have to. Three days after His death, He rose from the grave (Romans 4:25), proving Himself victorious over death. He bridged the gap between God and man so that we may have a personal relationship with Him if we only believe.
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Most people believe in God, even Satan does. But to receive salvation, we must turn to God, form a personal relationship, turn away from our sins, and follow Him. We must trust in Jesus with everything we have and everything we do. “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference” (Romans 3:22). The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Christ. Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jesus is the only way of salvation because He is the only One who can pay our sin penalty (Romans 6:23). No other religion teaches the depth or seriousness of sin and its consequences. No other religion offers the infinite payment of sin that only Jesus Christ could provide. No other “religious founder” was God become man (John 1:1,14) – the only way an infinite debt could be paid. Jesus had to be God so that He could pay our debt. Jesus had to be man so He could die. Salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ! “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Proverbs 30:4 (700 B.C.): “Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
(Psalm 2:11-12) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Even after Allah confirmed the Torah and Gospel, Islamic Mullahs and Imams have tried to sell the lie that the Christian Gospels and Jewish Torah have been corrupted.
This a complete lie! This lie is perpetuated by Islam, because of all the historic, scientific, and simple mathematical errors in the Koran/Qur’an – as you’ll see below… The Qur’an just doesn’t add up.
“They” could not have changed the Christian Gospels after Muhammad, since there are 5,735 (Welte, 2003) manuscripts of the whole or part of the Greek text of the New Testament (Injil) pre-dating Muhammad still in existence. Worldwide, there are 24,800 copies of these original manuscripts. These include the Codex Vaticanus (325-350 AD) located in the Vatican library and the Codex Siniaticus (350 AD) located in the British Museum. There are also 80,000 quotations in the works of early Christian writers which are so extensive that the New Testament could virtually be reconstructed from them without the actual New Testament documents. Then there is the obvious fact that the Christian Gospels were so widely distributed both before and after Muhammad, that any attempt to change (add/subtract) something in the Christian Gospels would have resulted in immediate discovery and condemnation. Additionally, the New Testament was handed down from apostolic times and its genuineness was guarded by Christian churches, and it was zealously watched by enemies of Christianity. A very wide protest would have resulted from both sides were it tampered with. Likewise, the Septuagint edition of the Old Testament was always in the hands of both Christians and Jews, both rivals in religion. Any attempts to change this by either side would have been vigorously attacked.
There are four more “safeguards” for the integrity of the Bible. (1) Jesus Himself read from Isaiah scroll in a Synagogue in Nazareth and declared it as Scripture (inspired from God), Luke 4:16-21; (2) The Dead Sea scrolls, found in 1947, verified the Jewish Torah back to 100 AD to 200 BC, when they were copied. Prior to this discovery, the oldest Torah dated to the 9th century AD. The Dead Sea scroll of Isaiah verified almost exactly the Isaiah scroll copied in the 9th century; (3) Early Church Fathers like Ignatius, Clement of Rome, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Irenaeus, who wrote from between 90-160 AD all cited in their writings Christian Gospel accounts (Guthrie, 1990, page 24); (4) We know that the writings of Moses were preserved as far back as 621 BC. 2 Kings 22 speaks of this at the time of the Israeli King Josiah. Ezra 7:14, Nehemiah 8:1-18, and Jeremiah 36 also speaks of the Jews maintaining Scripture.
Some versions of the Bible from 1881 differ in a few words here and there. However, the essential theological points remain the same and are complete. Bibles we recommend, that have not changed are:
Protestants original Authorized King James (1611)
Catholics Catholic Douay Reims – older versions
The Christian Bible predates Muhammad and Islam by more than 575 years. The Jewish Torah predates Muhammad and Islam by 1,000 – 3,000 years. Muhammad said for Muslims to read the Bible for “Guidance and Light.” For Islam to say they are corrupted, then is to call Muhammad a liar for recommending it.
The same Bible Muhammad would have seen (if he ever did) is in both (1) The Vatican (Codex Vaticanus) and (2) British Museum (Codex Sinaticus). It is all there, including Jesus dying on the cross as atonement for our sins. And, His resurrection, and ascension into heaven – in front of many witnesses. The New Testament is preserved in almost perfect condition in these two Greek texts which both predate Muhammad and Islam by over 200 years.
Everything in the Christian/Jewish Bible is being authenticated by archeology. Consider the Babylonian cylinder inscription of Nabonidus (thought to be the last king of Babylon) which commemorates the reconstruction of a ziggurat at Ur by Nabonidus and records a prayer to Belshazzar (Daniel 5) his son ‘the firstborn son, the offspring of my heart’. Not only does this prove that Belshazzar was indeed a member of the Babylonian royal family, which had long been disputed, but it also explains why Daniel is told he could be the third ruler (with Nabonidus and Belshazzar more or less acting as co-regents). Also, consider the ‘chariot wheels’ divers found in the Red Sea, proving the Hebrew Exodus from Egypy was real; and that the Egyptian army chasing the Jews was drowned by God (Yahweh), just as was recorded in the Jewish Bible.
Chariot wheels found in the Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba)
Muslims should note that nowhere in the Qur’an there is even a suggestion that the Christian Biblical text has been altered or corrupted. The word “tahrif” is never used with reference to the Christian Gospels (Injil). The Qur’an occasionally accuses the Jews of altering their Scripture (like in Surah 5:13); but it never levels this accusation at Christians. It in no way implies that the text of the Gospel of Jesus (Injil) has been corrupted. In fact, the Qur’an attests to the validity of the Christian Gospels, Zabur (Psalms) and the Torah.
Proverbs 30:4 (700 B.C.): “Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son’s name, if thou canst tell?”

You still waste your time being Muslims! Islam has been proven to be a false religion by an scholarly Iranian former Muslim Called Dr Ali Sina. Please check a wensite called alisina.com or faithfreedom.org
Islam was a haox and Muhammad was a false prophet. Enlightened people are leaving Islam in big numbers particularly in Andonisia the country with the largest Islamic population in the World. Please wakeup.
Assalaamu alaikum.Peace upon all.
I trust that few will agree with Wadnyagoi Kwarungwok abou his/her newly found discovery in collusion with one Dr Ali Sina. Unfortunately many diversions may be said to have arisen from Iran-Iraq region, including Bahai which claims to be a progressive perfection of Islam.
Needless to say they have not been welcome there, rightly or wrongly so.
What can be said, logically, is that many religions exist under specific conditions. Some are culture/tradition and race specific, geographical or otherwise.
By no means can these circumstantial belief systems be said to be false or inappropriate, in fact they are very relevant to the people in that situation.
The above is the case with Bhudism. Hinduism, Judaism Christianity, African and other belief systems in native America, Australia, etc.
Let us look at Chritianity for example. God preferred and chose the People of Judah ( he wrestled with God an prevailed and was nicknamed Isra-El, check the meaning)
All other people, for whatever fault, were not favoured.
Even Jesus(peace be upon him) attest to the mission specialised to the Children of israel and their specific situation at His time. There are statements like ” Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather (or only) to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” and ‘I was not sent except ( or I was sent only) to the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ Matthew 10 v 5, 6 and Matthew 15 v 24, see also v 26.
Gentiles are said to be noise makers with many words in their paying Mattew 6 v 7.
Fortunately the Gentiles, be they Caananites, Samaritans etc were praised as grateful ‘foreigners” Luke 17 v 18.
Granted it is only by extension of Grace that the Gentiles are co-opted or adopted into the Grace that did not belong to (or befit) them in the beginning. Even then they will ‘by n means preceed the Children of Israel’ in entering Heaven.(Biblical staement.)
That the Quran makes Jesus (pbuh) a universal prophet as do certain inferences from the Old Testament is another angle to this fact.
Islam from the very beginning opens the door to ALL without speriority of one over the other.
The grounds and parameters of the said researchers must therfore have been very flimsy and biased towards a certain outcome.
Well thinking people should ignore them, even if they are in Indonesia or anywhere. Instead All people must be afforde the opportunity to consider and adopt Islam to satisfy All the requirement of their lives, as it does, without restriction to any specific situation.
I wish W K would read and consider this humble article and think for himself and not rely of one Dr Ali Sina. He will avoid sinning against God in this way.

Besides IUIU are there institutions in Uganda or East Africa where muslims from Swaziland could get study opportunities (women and youth) in fields such as Da’wah, Income Projects, Vocational etc.

Kung fu is rarely a sellout, as most modern sports and martial arts tend to be.
The term ‘cushy’ is a bit deceptive because the power from round kung fu
actions is ceaselessly hidden. Wing Chun which is the name of the Kung Fu specifies
the precise style of Kung Fu being taught in the school.
