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.

Polygamy is an advantage for Innocent Women

THE CIVILIZATION OF IGNORANCE

The courtroom was tense. The eyes of the three men in contention were literally sparkling fire. It was clear from their explanations they were all farmers disputing over the proceeds from a farmland on the same plot in the neighbourhood. It appeared one of them was against the two others and the two were against each other. The contentious farmland was a bit distant away from the respective farms of these two. While crossing to their farms, both had always taught this fallow land probably had no owner! And if it does, it does not seem the fellow would have a need for it anytime soon!! Because of its proximity to the river, both had intended to take advantage of the ‘free’ fertile land to grow the favourite vegetable of the season come next rain. The intention of one was hidden from the other. Just on the day following the rainy night, each of them executed his plan. The seeds were sprayed. One sowed early, by sunrise in the morning; the other just before the sunset. A week after, the...

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...

THE ENEMY WE OVERLOOK

An article published in a Magazine  THE ENEMY WE OVERLOOK It predominated the age before Islam. That was over fourteen centuries ago. The old Meccans tolerated the most dangerous enemy. They nursed and celebrated him with pride. Before they knew, it darkened their city; clouded their minds and blinded their senses. They were persuaded into fighting themselves to death over frivolous matters. They justified beheading their fellow tribesmen from another family over arguments on trivial encounters. They cherished bowing for idols which they molded with their own hands using woods, clay or farm produce. They stored, drank and got intoxicated with alcohols. They consumed dead animals and blood. They feasted and entertained themselves with the concert and dancing steps of naked women. They felt humiliated giving birth to a female gender. The enemy made them see keeping a woman a sign of cowardice. Killing or buying her alive was then a show of bravery and masculinity! Then, Islam ...
