TO GET SCARED OR SCARE OTHERS IS USELESS. NO NEED FOR IT

Fellow Nigerians

You might have received scare alert, text or audio or both from people abroad.

They tell you frightening stories of how coronavirus has beaten the world's best medical systems and killing in thousands! They cry forecasting a worse disaster in Africa and possibly, the worst in Nigeria. God forbid!! 

Fellow Nigerians!

Listen to me. That judgement is useless.

1. God is wonderful. By His power, how many few soldiers have defeated an army of hundreds. Moses won over pharaoh. David over goliath. God may show mercy to the Africans and Nigeria like He did to the children of Israel in Egypt. He may give us power over the scourge like He never gave the giant nations. He once gave us over Ebola.

2. Africans are very religious nations. Nigerians are possibly the most religious in the world. Like no other nation, we believe in fasting and prayers. Yes, we may be more religious than being Godly but God still answers the sinners. Satan prayed in Q7:14 'spare my life till the Day of resurrection' and God said: 'You are one of those spared' (Qur'an7: 15)

Let us keep the hope and the prayers. Many of the giant nations believe in strength not God. 

3. When God wants to prove His power to men, He starts with most powerful  part of their city to level the ego and even the pride. He says in Qur'an 11:82

'when our command came, we made the most elevated part (of the city) its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay'

God may want to take us to the school of humility through our powerfuls. We pray they learn and we learn as we look onto Him to stop the pandemic on their lands and on our land. 

4. Fear does no good. It does not change the situation. We cannot run anywhere. All borders are closed. Every one and every nation is in the same mess. Why the scare alarm. Why the panic?

We remember those who lost everything they had worked for because they left a part of the country where they had lived their entire life. They had a fear that Nigeria would break into pieces. The civil war never came and they became devastated. 

We heard those who jumped out of a car while on speed because the driver lost his control. They died on the spot only for the car to stop with no one else hurt.

Fellow Nigerians! 

The only solution is 3P's: patience, prayers and precautions as God says:

'seek my help with patience and prayers. Indeed, it is  difficult except for the truly conscious ones' (Qur'an 2:45)

' O you believe! Take your precautions(Q4: 71)

5. Let us believe and prepare our mind. Nothing happens to us except what the Lord has decreed for us. Do good and repent. As for the true believers, it is either of the two good: martyrdom or survival. 

Do not spread scares. Spread hope! God heal our lands, home and abroad. Forgive us for you are Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

THE HISTORY OF BIRTHDAY

There was a statement that if you want to hide anything for the contemporary Muslims, put it in a book. I cannot agree less. Ours is a generation who chooses comfort and pastimes above reading. Despite the plethora of information online and offline in our time, we are in no way chips from the old blocks compared with the early Muslims. They led as models because they were readers and thinkers. They thought for others and were never thought for. They were trailblazers and not dolls. Unlike us, they were not led along the way like a dog behind its owner. They were disciplined, ascetic and principled. As for us, we are being technically enslaved because we still hold on to ignorance when it is no longer popular among the living. In a digital age, a Muslim proudly announces his birthday without ever caring to find out about its origin. He floods the social media with the pictures of his kid, wife or parent who is a year older! It never occurs to him to explore the same internet to read...

Our eBook: Letters to My Dear Daughter

Our eBook is Out: Grab your copy Now!!!! It is a society where grown female children stay far away from parents especially in pursuit of academics. Most parents during these periods wish they could establish hear-heart communication with their daughters on regular basis. Many are even too busy to communicate their wishes as much they desire to their daughters. Some others have Islamic knowledge scarcely enough to do so. Consequently, the most priceless, and fragile of human creatures, women, are left in the hands of the misguided peers and society. Giving a handy compilation of pleasant thoughts, as proxy for parents, which can readily be available as compass for such daughters as they alive away from home is quite apt. Such beautiful documents become a daily companion to these young ladies. It keeps them on the noble track and seat-belts them from derailing. It continually reminds them about the ideology of their parents, their desires and aspiration for them which is no wa...

TEN AMAZING LESSONS FROM MY FOWLS

  In the middle of this year 2018, precisely June 23, I got four chickens in two batches, two in each set. My close friend in the neighbourhood brought them all at a gift price. The two in each set were the same in age and size but the first batch were smaller and younger than those in the second. The second set were quite bigger and matured. Although the smaller ones had already grown wings but were yet to be fully matured. Both were alike in their sizes and the brown colours. It was also impossible to distinguish their genders at that age. The only distinguishing feature was that the leg of one was lighter and the other dark. They were all kept in a cage having an upper and lower decks of one compartment each. The older paired together in the upper deck and the younger ones housed beneath. It was my first experience rearing such creatures as personal pets. I watched them as they grew and keenly took lessons daily from their amazing lives. Domestic animals are wonderf...
