[👳🏾‍♂️Mufti Of Ilorin Online 👳🏾‍♂️ @Adamthallith]

Muyiwa, my brother. Thank you for this question. May God bless you. Āmīn.

First and foremost, in Islam, anyone who unjustly kills another person is committing one of the gravest sins in the religion. The fact that such a person identifies as a Muslim, recites Islamic supplications, or shouts the name of Allah does not make the act Islamic or permissible. This is not merely my personal opinion; it is firmly established in Islamic teachings.

Regarding Boko Haram, I am not going to deny their identification with Islam. The founder of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf, was a Muslim from Borno State. So, if we are discussing whether they have claimed an Islamic identity, the answer is yes. But there is an important distinction we must make: a person can identify as a Muslim and still commit acts that Islam explicitly prohibits. Likewise, a Christian can identify as a Christian and still commit acts that Christianity condemns. The actions of an individual or group should therefore not automatically be attributed to the religion they claim to follow.

Boko Haram members and other criminals who kill, kidnap and terrorise innocent people are not doing so because Islam commanded them to. They are acting upon their own misguided ideology, criminal interests, political motives, greed, or other personal objectives. Their actions should be judged against the teachings of Islam, not used to define Islam itself.

One of the clearest ways to understand Islam’s position on murder, kidnapping, banditry and terrorism is to look at the punishments and obligations prescribed by Islamic law.

For example, Islam recognises Diyah, commonly translated into English as “blood money.” In cases of accidental or unintentional killing, the Qur’an prescribes compensation to the victim’s family. In today’s Nigerian currency, the exact monetary value of Diyah is ₦805,724,000. This is if you’ll kill someone by mistake. Not just that, you have to free a slave, but in today’s society that we don’t have slaves again, you have to observe 60 days of fasting. And importantly, the prohibition against unjustly taking human life is not limited to Muslims, either the person you kill is a Muslim or not, as long as you the killer is a muslim, you must serve the punishment that Islam prescribe.

Now, regarding kidnapping, banditry and terrorism.

If someone commits armed violence, kills people and takes their property, the classical jurists discuss execution and crucifixion among the prescribed punishments.

If someone kills but does not take property, execution is the applicable punishment.

If someone takes people’s property through such armed violence without killing, the punishment is cutting off the hand and the opposite foot (right hand—left foot).

If someone terrorises people through armed force and weapons without killing anyone or taking their property, exile or banishment is the punishments discussed by the jurists.

If someone terrorises people without weapons, such will be jailed.

Therefore, when Boko Haram, bandits or any other armed group kidnaps innocent people, murders, steals their property and terrorises communities, it is completely wrong to suggest that they are carrying out Islamic teachings simply because they use Islamic language or identify themselves as Muslims.

Quite the opposite: the Qur’an itself condemns the very kinds of violence and corruption that they commit.

So, Boko Haram members and violent bandits may identify themselves as Muslims, but their crimes cannot be justified by Islam. A Muslim who genuinely understands his or her religion should condemn murder, kidnapping, terrorism, banditry and the unjust taking of people’s property, regardless of who commits them.

Islam is not judged by the crimes of those who claim its name. It is judged by what the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah actually teach.

So Bokoharam are not going to heaven.

[عمر فاروق🇸🇦 @faruqfromdeep]

don't hide your being a Muslim. a day will come when the opinions you were afraid of will mean absolutely nothing. the people you wanted to impress will not add a single good deed to your scale and their prayers mean nothing when you're gone.

[𝑰𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒔 𝑨. 𝑶𝒏𝒊 PhD @IdrisAOni1]

If I die right now, while still in the state of Islam and īmān, I would want every Muslim who hears of my death to first thank Allah on my behalf that I died as a Muslim. Before celebrating my achievements, recounting my good deeds, mourning what I left behind, or speaking about anything else, let there be gratitude to Allah that He preserved my faith until my final moment.

This is the understanding of a Muslim. We know that wealth, status, scholarship, family, influence and accomplishments all end with this world. But to meet Allah upon tawḥīd and submission to Him is the ending every believer hopes and prays for.
So, if I die as a Muslim, grieve for me because you love me, pray for me because I will need your prayers, forgive my shortcomings, but above all, thank Allah that I died believing in Him.

O Allah, keep us alive upon Islam, cause us to die upon faith, and grant us a beautiful ending. Āmīn.

More often than not, when/if your mother doesn’t support a union, you are likely to regret it in the end. Mothers are hardly wrong about their feelings towards your choice of spouse. Maybe it’s just coincidence or mothers’ instinct are just so strong.

Got from WhatsApp, BTW.

I removed the WhatsApp number just in case anyone mischievous tries to pull something. If you want to know the school fees or reach out to the school, holla. It's a full boarding system with no personal provisions allowed. Even if you buy the poshest box in the world for your child, you'll leave it at the gate. Students enroll the school with either a Ghana Must Go bag or the approved luggage. I assume it's partly to reduce class discrimination. The food is reportedly well prepared, and they have multi choices for meals. The school's academic results are also impressive, especially in JAMB and WASSCE, with consistently strong average performance across the graduating classes. They also have a separate Tahfeez boarding programme. Interestingly, it's even more expensive than the standard college programme.

Below is the main stuff:

Ar-Raheem International Schools (Tahfeez and College)

Introduction to the Tahfeez Programme

At the Tahfeez section, a child will:

- Memorise the entire Qur'an.
- Learn to speak, read, and write Arabic fluently.
- Acquire a solid foundation in Islamic Studies.

The Tahfeez programme lasts three years and focuses exclusively on:

- Qur'an memorisation
- Arabic language
- Islamic Studies taught entirely in Arabic

Admission age: 9 to 12 years (both male and female).

Tahfeez application:

Addendum:

1. If you dissolve your marriage under option 1, properties are not automatically distributed equally. They are only distributed based on 3 things:

- jointly acquired: If jointly acquired, the property is shared in the same proportion of actual contributions to its acquisition. Only financial contributions suffices.

- solely acquired: not shared.

- matrimonial properties: acquired during the marriage and towards sustenance of the marriage. They are shared based on the proportions contributions towards acquisition and it’s not automatic 50/50. Evidence of contributions must be proved, either through financial and non-financial contributions and the court considers sharing formula based on what is fair and just.

2. If you marry only under 2 and 3, upon divorce, nobody is entitled to any share of any property. You only take what you own in your name.

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

There are 3 regimes of legal marriages in Nigeria:

1. Statutory marriage: regulated by Matrimonial Causes Act and Marriage Act.

2. Customary/Traditional marriage: regulated by native laws and customs of different communities

3. Islamic marriage: regulated by Shariah/Islamic Law.

a. If you do any of the above, your marriage is LEGAL.

b. If you do 1, 2 and 3 together or 1 and 2 or 1 and 3, with the same person, your marriage is called DOUBLE-DECKER MARRIAGE and it is also LEGAL but usually most complicated marriages to deal with.

c. If you do 1 with one person and you do 2 with another person, your second marriage is VOID.

d. If you do 1 with one person and another 1 with a different person, without a divorce or a dissolution of the first marriage, that second marriage is illegal and constitutes BIGAMY.

e. If you marry someone under 1 and marry another person under 3, your second marriage is not VOID. It is LEGAL.

[AY COMEDIAN @AYCOMEDIAN]

At what point do we finally retire the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate?

Football gave us two once in a lifetime talents. We witnessed history from both of them. Why must appreciating one always require disrespecting the other?

Every WhatsApp group, every pundit, every content creator keeps serving the same recycled argument. It's stale.

Celebrate Messi. Celebrate Ronaldo. Celebrate football.

Not every legacy needs a loser.
