I was going to keep quiet over this. But I decided, enough of that. The death of Ghadaffi didnt come as a shock So I thought we would most probably be saying the same things we have been saying since the ‘revolution’ started except for a new talk on the humiliation and then the reflection over how much power, money, influence and so on do not really matter when death beckons, when the will of God is to be established. But, I changed my mind for reasons, I keep away from this write-up.

The first thing to note and that comes to my mind in Situations like this is the thought that God is the only supreme being. The rich can become poor, Presidents go and others come, Kings die and relieve their duties and Dictators do die on the streets. Let no one take power to be their birth right and then hang on to it as if they will never die. It should be seen as a test, something to run away from. Allah says-

Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, ‘we believe’ and that they will not be tested?(29:2)

Also, Allah says-

And If Allah did not check one set of people by means of another, the World would indeed be full of mischief (2;51)

What happened to Ghaddafi only confirms the above verse. Do you think you are so powerful that you can not be checked by others? You would surely be checked and the world could thereby be relieved of some mischief. Note that this verse is in relation with what happened to Goliath. He was checked by the action of David.

Oh Ghaddaffi was truly bad. He committed all sorts of atrocities, But did he truly deserve to die the way he did? This is something that has been bothering me. I didn’t sleep well the night he died-Maybe, I shouldn’t have seen the video!
In an Islamic setting, this manner of killing has no place. The almighty doesn’t need a structured system for His will to be carried out. But every partaker in it would be questioned on their role. We should always be careful of how emotions guide our ways. He could have been made a prisoner, tried in a court and sentenced as required. This just reminds me of the athar on a companion of the prophet who met a disbeliever on a battle field. The disbeliever spitted on him and as he was about to strike the disbeliever with his sword, he remembered his intention had changed. he wasn’t going to strike him for the sake of Allah but out of anger for the spit. He retracted as a result. This is the kind of manner in which every Muslim should behave even in the most difficult situations.

I was surprised that Many people think of the war in Libya with respect to Islam as to see it as a victory for or defeat against Islam. Don’t be confused people. What happened in Libya is totally political. But majority of the people involved are Muslims. Ghaddafi’s rule wasn’t an Islamic one, so if you are rejoicing because you are anti-Islam, it is time you get an education. And Muslims should avoid being divided over this Issue. There is little our argument on whether Islam agrees with this kind of revolution would achieve.
Baseline is, the Arab nations are going through a trying time and Muslims from other parts of the world are worried and of course we have to be, for the people involved are our brethren-whether right or wrong.

Some people are rejoicing over Ghaddafi’s death. No one should rejoice over someone else’s death, I think. His death should serve as a reflection for you- something that brings death to your consciousness. Are you aware of how your own death would be. Where it is going to happen and the circumstances that would surround it? Are you even in a position to judge anyone based on what you read and hear? when you arent sure of their relationship with God? Can you beat your chest and tell the whole world that you would be in a better position than this man on the day of reckoning?? Food for thought this is.

Having said these, I only hope that something good happens after now; that the people of Libya wouldn’t be further divided and that the country would be built back, starting with an Islamic foundation.

to me,gaddafi was a tyrant.but the way he was killed is bad,humiliating and un-islamic.

i think his capture was no victory for islam and his defeat too was no defeat for muslims and islam.

Watch Hilary Clinton Laughs At Qaddafi's Death

Keep blogging OP!

Allah knows best. But it is unislamic in many sense. And keeping his body for so long is even more disheartening. Bury the man and stop mocking God! Ghadaffi was subdued by God and not NTC! they have no right not to bury him asap

Interesting write up.

And yes, sharia law is being introduced to libya it seems.

@How has Gaddaffi himself killed people in his life,did you know?only those involved and Allah knows how Gaddaffi too killed people,pls lets drop sentiments,i rejoice over every tyrant death of the past and present,if you dnt want people to rejoice over your death, do the will of Allah,shikena.

What if they had chop off his neck or amputate his limbs,what would you have said?.90% of libyans cant be wrong for jubilating all around of his death both in Libya,Manchester uk,America,can all of them be hating their leader so much,or do you think if Gaddafi was that loved,would his people want him dead and still rejoice so much.

SHAMEFULL DEATH TO ALL TYRANT & A THUNDEROUS WOE TO THEM ALL.

^ the ongoing saga of Libya points to many things;

most muslims do not even begin to be muslims in their souls.
most lack understanding of Islam.
most are not educated in Islam.

almost all have not understood that Muslims are just a single body.

no matter how the enemies of Islam say they love you, muslims, they are always planning your destruction.

proof; the west have lobbied hard to keep the office of the Kalifah vacant.

we see how many rejoiced that muslims are killing themselves, one person, one group one community, one leadership at a time.

the people had no right to have killed a man or anyone in such humiliating fashion. That one had a soul. They did not encourage him to take shahadah. What kind of muslims were they at the time they were killing their own? Disbelievers don't do more than this. An old woman whose son has been talking to her about Islam remarked at the killing "if one were to accept this religion, actions like these are turn offs!"

Sharia in name only is not Sharia. Even if a person is such a terrible person, after death you hurry up to bury him so that you can remove the responsibility of burial from your mist. And quicken his minor day of Judgment in the grave.

I pray that Allah by the end of Gaddafi turn to him in Mercy, for all Mercies belong to Him.

Why take shahada when death approaches,its not gonna do anything,or was he not a muslim before. Pls Sweetnecta which kind of death is not harsh?cos recently like weeks ago i saw how some peoples head were loyally chopped off in saudi's news for corruption.

And the people that killed UTHMAN,ALI,HUSAYN were they reading the Quran upsidedown too,or was there not islam in thier souls?

How can a man be loved by his people and his people would not agree on where to bury him,they dnt even want him buried in Libya,all you people advocating for him,i think you all have some space in your backyard for him to be buried?naija get space,cos only Nigerians will hate a dictator,but would love not to see him die like chicken yet He killed their fathers,brothers etc and denied many basics of life.

many years ago, i can to know that the prophet [as] prayed that whosoever announced aloud that his property was stolen in the masjid, may he never find it.

this knowledge came to me at the occasion of missing something i newly got. what do you think i did after hearing what the messenger [as] said, as to the event?

i quietly walked out and swallow the bitter truth. even if i were to find the property just after hearing this truth, i will turn blind eyes at it.

the point is this; rasulUllah predicted the death of those people. as bad as the death were, the truth from the messenger [as] was to be fulfilled.

after all, each was a revelation from God, because no one prays for his beloved to meet tragic end. each of those people you listed was beloved to the most beloved among mankind.

if he was merciful enough to stand up and felt sorrow for the soul of a disbelieving jew whose funeral procession passed in front of him, I will borrow a little of that manner to feel bad about anyone who died.

i even feel bad for ariel sharon of israel in his comatose condition.

Islam is an advise. It is also mercy. and many other good wholesome qualities.

That last hadith is just not in collaboration with the Quran,cos Allah warns the prophet/muslims not to feel concerned/worried about the death of any umbeliever of anykind,so he cannot act against the Quran.Predicted or not predicted,they were still killed by their own people,and the killers still have the whole of Quran in their head,maybe even prayed the next salat sef after the action.If you like feel pity for the death of George Bush,you are going against the Quran,simple.
Sweetnecta,pls dnt go off point,i have asked you question regarding the kind of killing you would prefer,you can give me the approved one in Islam.

uplawal, nitori olorun ha!

pls, be careful of your statements. While talking Islam, put sentiments aside. look into what the Qur'an says and see what the hadiths say too.

uplawal:

@How has Gaddaffi himself killed people in his life,did you know?only those involved and Allah knows how Gaddaffi too killed people,pls lets drop sentiments,i rejoice over every tyrant death of the past and present,if you dnt want people to rejoice over your death, do the will of Allah,shikena.

the fact that you dont know how Ghaddafi killed is the reason you are to mellow and not keep talking all the time. You can rejoice all you like, But I must tell you rejoicing at the death of any Muslim is wrong. Muslims are a brethren. While Allah calls us such in the Qur'an, he knew some of us would be bad.

What if they had chop off his neck or amputate his limbs,what would you have said?.90% of libyans cant be wrong for jubilating all around of his death both in Libya,Manchester uk,America,can all of them be hating their leader so much,or do you think if Gaddafi was that loved,would his people want him dead and still rejoice so much.

If they had done that, I would say exactly what am saying now. Majority does not carry the vote in Islam. many of the Muslims in Arab nations are lucky to be born in to Islam. they do not live an Islamic life. And they therefore are not the yardstick for determining what is right or wrong.

I also wonder why they would not bury him. If they are Muslims, conscious of Islam, they wouldnt have left him the way they did. In fact, I think all of their action can only bring a curse into their land. here, we would have called it an abomination.

@ bolded, when a Muslim is about to die, u encourage them to say shahada, there is a lot of benefit for them if they are able too. bad people would find it hard to say or may not be able to at all. People sentenced even in non-Muslim nations are allowed a chance to read their holy books before death- it is something like that.

people whose heads were chopped off under a legal system are different from someone killed without a trial- just give it a thought ehn!

uplawal:

And the people that killed UTHMAN,ALI,HUSAYN were they reading the Quran upsidedown too,or was there not islam in thier souls?

what kind of comparison is this?? Astaghfirullah!!! what were u trying to justify sef ??

Did you type the above because u are a Muslim or as a human or just because u seem to know how the world rolls and should be rolled with??
Until u decide to live a totally Islamic life, you would continue to talk this way.I gave an example from the lifetime of the prophet in that write up. but, it seems u read it for criticisms only rather than to benefit. I advise that you read it again.

you are taking things out of context. You cannot pray for them is different from not feeling bad at their death. One very important reason to feel bad is the thought that they died as unbelievers. wouldnt you wish that they die as Muslims. Imagine that you have christiann family members, would you start dancing around at their death?? Ogbon ori is required in every thing my sister. Dont always act so aggressively- Be ready to learn. No one knows it all.

Predicted or not predicted,they were still killed by their own people,and the killers still have the whole of Quran in their head,maybe even prayed the next salat sef after the action.If you like feel pity for the death of George Bush,you are going against the Quran,simple.

I still donno why you av to talk about these deaths. are u saying the perpetrators were right because they were Muslims. I really am curious of how long u av been a Muslim. You should really be careful and be sure of your claims before making them.

Allahu a'lam!

Was ghdaffi that bad?? I read that he provIded basic amenities and did a whole lot for libyans. Things that our peeps here can't do. Are these stories fabricated??

I heard about the death of Ghadaffi while having lunch with my friends in a city in Morocco (rabat). Morocco is an arab country and Ghadaffi is damn loved by almost everyone there. To be sincere, I shed a little tear and another friend of mine was crying uncontrollably. It was sad. . .

See, there are two ways Ghadaffi's death affect me and lots of ther people. . .

First is Islam. He was my brother in Islam and that I can say anywhere, anytime, in the presence of any living soul. He was muslim and didn't denounce Islam at any point in his life.

While I agree its Allah at work and not the NTC, those who killd him will also be judged. . .Insha Allah.

The manner in which he was killed and dragged on the streets shows that his killers have no respect for islam and its teachings. Let no one give me the crap of him killing his people. . . while some of it is true, a whole lot of it is big time propaganda!!!!!

Anyone rejoicing over his death is rejoicing with the enemies of Islam. . .shikena

Ghadaffi did not commit half as much atrocities as Sadam, yet he was even allowed to say the Shahadah on the hangman's noose. . .

Secondly, his death is a big blow to pan-africanism. . .Africa is finished I swear!. The only person that believes in a one and united Africa has just been killed. The only president that fought oppression and imperialism of the west to a stand still. . .that will look at them in the face and say how it is is gone. The only person that fought for Africa to have a permanent seat on the UN security council. . .I can go on and on. . .

I saw his death coming tho. . . saw it coming. . .and the genesis of the whole saga started when

1. He made a statement ealier this year, instructing all oil producing states in Africa to sell their oil to the west in GOLD and not in cash. . .Do you know what that means to the economies of Europe and America? They are finished!!!!

2. He proposed to pay the debt of every African country with 3 trillion dollars. . his reason? Africans can not make sensible and objective decisions when they are in debt. . . And you and I know that the more we are indebted, the more we are ridden like asses by the imperialists. . .

Countries like Mali, Chad, Ghana, Central African Republic and other countries in Sub Saharan Africa all recieve grants from Libya. . .Mali especially. . . He helps African countries with his money and the west do not like that. . .

As the case with Afghanistan and Iraq, the bastards had to make up stories of propganda that Ghadaffi was killing his own people with mercenaries whereas Russia kept sending satellite images to show the world that they were all lies. . .they needed a pretext to engage in the war and their aim was to murder him. . .Allah will judge the judges!!!!

Do you also know that the NTC committed several atrocities against innocent men, women and children in Libya? Did you know that Nigerians were also killed in the process by the NTC? Do you know many women were raped by the so called NTC fighters? Did you ever imagine that some of the fighters were prisoners being trained at Guantanamo bay? Call me a conspiracy theorist if you care, . but i'm stating verifiable truths. . .!!!

Questions for Ghadaffi Bashers

1. Do you think the war in Libya was genuine. . .?
2. Do you think Ghadaffi failed Libyans?
3. What right did NATO have to invade Libya when the African Union Commission repeatedly said NO to the war?
4. Do you think those fighting are actually Libyans? If yes, why were most of the dead bodies taken to Qatar for burial?
5. Do you believe Ghadaffi had support of more than 40 percent of his people?
6. Did Ghadaffi build Libya with the oil money?
7. Were there cases of extra judicial killings of civilians while he was alive?

Questions for Muslims

1. Did Ghadaffi ever denounce Islam at anytime?
2. Do you think the NTC guys are true muslims. . .for neglecting the teachings of Islam as regards burial?


No one should call any other muslim evil or killer or kafir. . .as Allah is the ultimate judge and all mercies are with him. He forgives whom ever he wills and punishes who he wills. . .if Ghdaffi foes to hell, its not because you condemned him and if he makes paradise, its not our praises of him. . .Allah surely knows best in all circumstances. . .

May Allah forgive him his shortcomings and grant him Jannah. . .


His Mistakes

- He should not have cut diplomatic ties with Russia and China. . .their votes could have prevented the war

- He should have stepped down when boiling point was reached





#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

@Doels,its you really adding sentiments to Islam and not me,me am not a coward muslim,and you are not to tell me or Libyans not to rejoice over a tyrant muslim,cos if a leader is muslim truely,he will live his life fully according to Islam,and not be power hungry,and self praise of moto moto will be out of your behaviour,nobody can catch you.you can't tell me not to rejoice over the death of Abacha,saddam hussein,shaz of iran,or a muslim drunkard, a muslim adulterer,or a muslim that does not pray or a muslim that murders etc.

You see where you go wrong?why dnt you read your Quran well instead of saying uplawal is acting "I KNOW MUCH"Allah says in the Quran that corrupt people should be killed by either chopoff head,both legs and hands or send to exile,so i wonder why you would call this act of killing unislamic?Infact,if your uncle is alao akala and co i would advocate that for him sharp sharp.

Shahada when death approaches means nothing if its soul aim is to gain entrance to Jannah,if you are a practicing muslim living life according to the will of Allah,your existing shahada should be enough except you just say it to re-affirm the unity of Allah and his greatness not basically for transport to Jannah,if its the passport to Jannah Allah won't address us and warn us muslims in the Quran,cos He says some muslims will be found in hellfire because they dnt pray,He dnt say then their shahada they say at the point of death will exempt them from hellfire.Nevertheless,if you could give me where it is in the Quran to support your claim?Allah even specifically says,A person that repents when death appraoches,will not be granted forgiveness,his or her repentance will not avail him,so is it shahada that will grant them forgiveness?The msot important is to live a good life and worship Allah as Allah demands from us,so you could retain your existing shahada till death.


Moreso,you said am comparing the killers of Ali,Hussein,Uthman etc to Gaddaffi's,is the act not worst than Gaddaffi's,owing the fact,dem Ali and co were righteous people and Gaddaffi is not even 1/4 of their rightousness.

gaddafi built huge mosques in poor african countries though.

do you still consider him unrighteous?

he was also actively preaching islam to european ladies.

@ Javalove, thanks for that- very insightful

@Uplawal, suit ur self.

@ tpia@, we appreciate your input

as always.

i'm still waiting for uplawal's response though.

@Deols you dnt have to like my message ok,i impress no one,may Allah reward me and all truthful muslims in words and deeds.

@tpia,why waiting?

We can only be brothers in the deen if you forbid  evil and enjoin good,not just by name calling of "oh, he is a muslim" without true islamic life,Allah said enter Al-Islam in full not half.Abraham,Lut,Noah,David,Solomon,Job,Ismaila,Jonah,Zakariya,Mary,Enoch,Elijah etc,all my ancestors in Africa that never worship anyother god with Allah,then the the last prophet Muhammadu,good sahabas,family of the cloak and all others following their great examples are my brothers in the religion.

uplawal:

And the people that killed UTHMAN,ALI,HUSAYN were they reading the Quran upsidedown too,or was there not islam in thier souls?

please,i know you love the Ahlul-Bayt (as) members.but please grouping them like that is as good as likening the death of abacha,funsho williams and abiola.you can add to the matyrdom of Imam Ali,and Imam Hussain,also Imam Hassan and 8 Imams from the progeny of Imam Hussain (as) and also the horrific matyrdom of the grandson of Imam Hussain (as),Zaid Ibn Ali Ibn al-Hussain (as).

the same clique that started the misery for the Ahlul-Bayt (as) starting with fadak and in the Saqifa bani Saeda of which Usthman was part of and silent about,was the same clique that kept quiet when Usthman was being killed.infact among them there is a female who called for the killing of Usthman before he was assasinated and when he was killed she then jubilated.that female is no other than the one who led the battle of jamal against Imam Ali (as).again,when Usthman was killed,she still used Usthman's killing with Muawiya to fight Imam Ali (as).the people of fitna and those who watered it openly or silently have long being alive and well in the muslim ummah.but the problem is those people are not condemned.it is when LagosShia and the Shia speak against them that people think of fitna.

do your research well!

Surah Tawbah, Verse 40: If you do not aid the Prophet - Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us." [/b]And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah - that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

[b]Almighty Allah will not be with His Messenger [as] and his companion [ra] and then humans after the hard works they did will turn around and hae the right to curse them. Two things such a human has done; says Allah has chosen wrongly for His Messenger and the messenger had led eil companion

Verse 42; Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allah , "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are liars.

While I skipped verse 63, i must present verse 72, where i see all the 'companions till end of the the messenger [as]' belong; The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Those - Allah will have mercy upon them. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Verse 100: And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them [/b]and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.


[b]If one were to belong to the group in Verse 100, is there a doubt in the heart of a believer that these are people of Paradise, not Hell Fire? Allah correct or made example of His Messenger [as] in Surah Abasa. Is there anyone among his followers that must have a better character?

Verse 111: Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah ? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.

The Martyr among the companions can't be excluded the category of people heading to Paradise. Our case is still hanging on a balance, while theirs, from the Revelation is determined already.



By the way, no group has exclusivity to the family of Muhammad [as] over others. It will be disingenuous just like the Christians say to the Muslims that Jesus is theirs and we are just trying to borrow him.

@Lagosshia,i know wassup,but i just want them to know that they were both killed too.How are you my brother?Asalamu Alaykum.

The Christians say the awariyun [intimate followers] of Jesus are assortment of satan impersonate as in Peter and denial, also as in Peter, and peoplewho would not help him as aid of the safety of is person, since they deserted him [all of these are from the Bible]. Are we muslims not following their footsteps, separating a portion of the sahaba [ra] to be debased, even including the wives of the messenger [as] while some we elevated to even a higher status than Muhammad [as] as to say they are infallible, while Allah show weakness in man so much so that mere turning of face was recorded for the noble messenger?

There is no one that I love my household more than my women; my mother, my sister [neither Muhammad [as] had], my wife who see all my secrets [and Muhammad [as] did not hid any secret from his wives [ra]. and my daughter [if i have one from my blood, even the one I adopt following the rule of Islam as a mere caretaker of her].

It will be a hard day to come that i will allow a mere admirer and follower of my life pattern to insult my wife, especially when she is not the type like the wife of Prophets Nuh and Lut [as]. Allah did not debase these companions and wives of the Messenger [as]. Does anyone have the right to debase them? Should we not be shy and caution our tongues and pray that Allah take away such a disease from our hearts? The case of us muslims are a dire strait.

LagosShia:

.infact among them there is a female who called for the killing of Usthman before he was assasinated and when he was killed she then jubilated.that female is no other than the one who led the battle of jamal against Imam Ali (as).again,when Usthman was killed,she still used Usthman's killing with Muawiya to fight Imam Ali (as).the people of fitna and those who watered it openly or silently have long being alive and well in the muslim ummah.but the problem is those people are not condemned.it is when LagosShia and the Shia speak against them that people think of fitna.

do your research well!

How accursed can this shameless insulter of the Prophet's wife get? Any Muslims that follows the part of the Shia will eventually end up insulting Aisha the wife of the Prophet, look at how he refers to her in such condescending manner, Only a Great FOOL will insult the wife of the Prophet pbuh, a woman that Allah referred to as  - Mother of the Believers. This shia are Liar fabricators who are only interested in winning arguments at all cost even to the extent of denying their own books, and for your Information Aisha never called for the assassination of Uthman R.A, the same shia individual called the Prophet's Pbuh wife Treacherous, now he is inventing lies against her, indeed only accursed individuals can go down this extent.

More on the alledged order to assasinate by Aisha is dealth with here http://www.schiiten.com/backup/AhlelBayt.com/www.ahlelbayt.com/articles/rebuttals/nathal.html

uplawal:

@Lagosshia,i know wassup,but i just want them to know that they were both killed too.How are you my brother?Asalamu Alaykum.

Alhamdulillah dear sister.i hope all is well with you.

i just tried to clarify the point for those who like to turn a blind eye and conceal the facts of islamic history and even solid events recorded that took place.

i can already sense hell is loose and evil jinns are already trembling in their nests

well,i am only relaying history as it happened.

as for my brother "Sweetnecta" who is busy quoting Quranic verses,there is already a problem he has created for himself.the problem is "personality cult" or "hero worship".this is not in islam.those verses speaks good of certain people because of particular actions they undertook.shikena!

whether those people later became evil or committed sins or became apostates it is up to them and Allah will punish men for the evil they do.there is no guaranty in this life that a good man today who is very pious cannot change or become evil and sinful.there is also no guaranty that men who are evil cannot tomorrow embrace islam and become very pious.therefore what is important is each individual action a human being does that is taken into account and memory.also,when reading those Quranic verses we learn from the actions.as far those people are not prophets,messengers,angels or imams divinely chosen by Allah (swt) to represent Him on earth or to mankind,then there is no way anyone is free from scrutiny.

as for the other person that replied from some olodo website,the person already knows my position that i do not hold dialogue on islamic issues with a kafir who insults and disrespects Imam Hussain (as).as that website itself,it is so ridiculous that in their bid to conceal the truth and facts from history i have even read that it was the shia that killed Imam Hussain (as)."shia" is supposed to be those who love and are loyal to the Ahlul-Bayt (as).but now through such websites it was the killers of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) that are "shia".i will only laugh because the likes of Abu Bakr,Umar,Usthman,Aisha,Hafsa,Muawiya,Yazeed and all the enemies of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) must also be shia and those are the very people loved by our sunni brothers!!!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Western oil companies are eager to jump back into Libya, but without strong oil laws there they are hesitant to invest the billions of dollars needed to boost production.

Before the fighting broke out, the country produced about 1.6 million barrels of oil per day. Of that, the Libyan National Oil Company controlled about 1.1 million.

A handful of Western oil companies, including Italy's Eni (E), France's Total (TOT) and ConocoPhillips (COP, Fortune 500), Marathon (MRO, Fortune 500), Hess (HES, Fortune 500) and Occidental (OXY, Fortune 500) account for most of the remaining oil, with Eni being the largest player.

But under Moammar Gadhafi the terms of those deals were strict. The dictator effectively imposed a 93% tax on any oil the companies produced in Libya.

Libyan peace could bring oil bonanza

"This 93% is a joke," said Fadel Gheit, a senior energy analyst at Oppenheimer. "Not even Russia has that."

A more palatable rate would be something like Norway's 75%, said Gheit. A U.S.-style 50% would be a downright gift.

As Libya's oil production begins to come back online, the new government has kept the terms and conditions from the Gadhafi era law, for the time being.

No one is expecting a reduction to a 50% rate, but some changes are expected.

A debate is taking place within the National Oil Company over how much control should be ceded to the international oil firms, said Ross Cassidy, a Libyan oil analyst at the energy research firm Wood Mackenzie. Generally, the lower the tax rate, the more the Western firms will be enticed to invest.

There's certainly incentive for Libya to want to attract foreign investment.

The 1.6 million barrels-per-day production was apparently enough to satisfy Gadhafi, said Gheit, who let very little of that wealth trickle down to his people. He also did not reinvest much of that money back into his oil fields.

As a result, the equipment is aging and the fields are not producing as much as they could be.

But the potential is there. It's thought that with the right investment in the old fields, plus an aggressive exploration program to comb the 90% of the country that has yet to be explored, Libya could double its pre-war oil production level to 3 million barrels a day.

At current prices, that would bring in $300 million of much-needed revenue a day.

The companies are there. The firms currently operating in the country have pledged to help Libya modernize their existing fields. And heavyweights BP (BP) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) have committed to billion-dollar exploration programs in the years ahead, said Wood Mackenzie's Cassidy.

Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) also took at stab at finding new oil reserves in the Libyan desert a few years back, but abandoned its effort after drilling a few dry wells. But that doesn't mean the company won't come back if the right conditions materialize.

In statements to CNNMoney, many of the firms already operating in Libya say they are eager to resume production, as soon as conditions on the ground make the country safe for employees.

But analysts say it's not even the violence that's keeping the big investments on the sidelines.

"The oil companies have been operating in violent regions for decades," said Anas Alhajji, chief economist NGP Energy Capital Management. "What matters at this stage is the legal framework and the sanctity of the contracts."

It's hoped the new government is easier for the companies to deal with than the Gadhafi regime, but for now many are taking a wait-and-see approach.

Many of the new government's leaders are former members of the old regime. And judging by the way in which Gadhafi met his demise, the new leadership isn't exactly confidence-inspiring.


OIL BONANZA OIL BONANZA ALL THE WAY. AT LEAST WE KNOW WHY HE WAS KILLED!
