@Kaita26_27 @egi_nupe Amin ya rabbi. Jazakhallahu khairan

If you have a family that loves you, a few good friends, food on your table, and a roof over your head. You are richer than you think.

[Talibah @Taalibah_2]

To be a Muslim woman, a wife, a mother, and a daughter while seeking knowledge of the deen is not a burden. It is one of the greatest honours Allah ﷻ can bestow upon a woman.

There is no shame in nurturing a home, serving one's family, and raising children upon Tawheed.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

The Hausa version of this is wild.
I'm asking for direction, and someone is telling me, "In ka shiga ta yamma, sai ka kalli kudu...." ng wtf.

[𝓛𝓪𝓾𝓻𝓪 ˚.🎀༘⋆ @Laura_arma_ni]

When you ask someone for directions and they start using words like "east" and "west"

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@salamnuhu They keep proving him right. Whenever they open their mouth, he gets vindicated.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@SDogohn They are.
It's intellectually lazy for one to argue for/against something without having basic knowledge of its history or the history of those who've contributed to that particular struggle.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

I engaged with someone who claimed Northern women have never been "allowed" to excel, particularly in literature. I simply pointed to the works of two remarkable trailblazers whose novels were published in 1980 and 1984, respectively.

PS. Hafstu Abdulwaheed was 18yrs old.

In some parts of the world, humans with brains have been successfully convinced to replace human babies/kids with pet dogs and cats and pigs/piglets.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@ShehuSani The fact that you and your generation are still running for political office forms part of "what must have happened."

[Calistah @SDogohn]

@Ahmad_fharouk She’s not educated in literature if she doesn’t know Zainab Alkali

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@SDogohn May Allah lighten your path.

This was my immediate reaction, too.
And with that, I concluded that she and most people like her are arguing from a place of ignorance fuelled by emotion.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@misaq002 @AkwaIbomMuslim More often than not.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

@egi_nupe We all know the backlash Elrufai faced when he tried to end the Almajiri system in Kaduna. Some even called him an enemy of Islam, while others called him an apostate.
When we're ready, we'll do the needful.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

As a Muslimah, if you think, because of men, women can't fight (in the cause of Allah), be scholars, influence politics, teach men, raise leaders, be entrepreneurs, help preserve the deen, & still be happy, then your knowledge of history, and of reality, is incredibly distorted.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

It's quite interesting seeing how the majority of those dragging @iam_YCee are proving his point.

The dude spoke about critical issues, including mental health and the effect of bad governance, yet here we are.

The olodos have risen to defend the Peller culture.

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

We sure are.

[Calistah @SDogohn]

We’re keyboard warriors

[Ahmad Farouk @Ahmad_fharouk]

We feel too much, think too little, and act even less.

We are stirred by every outrage, moved by every tragedy, and inspired by every noble idea. Yet emotion alone changes nothing. Feelings pass, thoughts fade, and intentions dissolve when they are not followed by action.
