@Rxbremen The difference is clear and that is risk-taking.
Even in collateral. Islamic banks do not take full ownership of the collateral even when you owe unlike the conventional banks.
And We will certainly test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient." (Q2:155)
And who are the patient?
"Who, when afflicted with trials, say, 'Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.'" (verse 156
You never see anything. When we talk against Riba (interest), many of you think I am against investment or economic growth.
He is here complaining because he is at the receiving end. The 50% interest Opay wants you to pay is the amount of your sweat they want eat for helping you at the moment of distress.
This is exactly why Islam forbids Riba. Lending money should be a cause for charity and community support, not a tool to trap a struggling person in debt. If a person was fine, will he borrow money? He is borrowing money because it has been become a necessity for him.
And if you expect or demand even 1 naira addition to the money you lent out, you are not helping anyone, you are exploiting them.
If you want to make a profit, take your capital, go into the market, and do actual business. Put skin in the game, take a risk, and share both profit and loss.
But sitting back and using someone's desperate situation to automatically multiply your wealth is wicked. Riba (interest) does not build wealth, it just sucks the life out of the person who actually works.
Allah knows best.
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come so close to people that there would be left only a distance of one Meel". Sulaim bin 'Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by "Meel", the mile of the distance measure or the...👇

When the noise goes down, remember there is no special status for being Yoruba or being any other tribe in the afterlife. But there is for being a Muslim.
You cannot stop being Yoruba if you already are, but you may end up being non-muslim, if eternal punishment is your portion—may Allah save me and you from this.
The real blessing for all mankind is Islam.
PS: it is fine not to agree, I understand.
Islam is totally against Terrorism. They do not represent Islam, and they should be killed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides or be exiled from the land.

The claim that the terrorists demanded the implementation of Shari’ah Law in Oyo State as one of their conditions for releasing hostages remains unconfirmed by any credible source. It appears to be yet another piece of propaganda peddled by Islamophobes in Yorubaland, designed to smear Muslims and undermine the unalienable rights of Yoruba Muslims to freedom of thought, association, and religion as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The allegation is not only dubious but self-contradictory. Terrorists who engage in heinous crimes such as banditry and highway robbery, offences that attract the severest punishments under Shari’ah, could hardly be the ones calling for its implementation. Under Islamic law, the crime of *hirabah* (waging war against society through banditry, terrorism, or spreading corruption) carries grave penalties, including public execution by crucifixion in extreme cases.
Almighty Allah says in Qur’an 5: 33 – Surah Al-Ma’idah:
“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.”
(English Translation by Sahih International)
This verse specifically addresses *hirabah*, violent crimes such as highway robbery, terrorism, and societal corruption. Classical Islamic scholars have always treated the punishments as judicial options, to be applied according to the gravity of the offence.
How I wish Shari’ah were already fully operational in our justice system so these criminals could be tried and punished accordingly! In Saudi Arabia, where Shari’ah forms 100% of the legal framework, the Ministry of Interior had carried out 68 executions by June 2026, at least nine of them for terrorism-related offences. Yet in Nigeria, rather than decisively punishing captured terrorists, we talk of “rehabilitation” and “reintegration” into the very society they have devastated.
Yoruba Muslims do not need any outsider, least of all Fulani terrorists, to agitate for Shari’ah in their homeland. Shari’ah is already an integral part of our daily lives. We observe it when we pray in our mosques, solemnise our marriages according to Islamic rites, distribute inheritance according to Qur’anic principles, and settle disputes through Independent Shari’ah Arbitration Panels that exist in virtually every state in Yorubaland. These panels have provided immense relief to the regular courts by resolving thousands of family and civil matters. Even the Lagos State Government has designated a Customary Court to adjudicate family disputes between Muslims according to Shari’ah.
Therefore, any legitimate call for the full establishment of Shari’ah Courts, by activating the provisions of Section 275 of the Constitution, has nothing whatsoever to do with criminality or terrorism. Yoruba Muslims will never allow bandits or propagandists to hijack our genuine religious aspirations to justify their crimes against innocent Nigerians, Muslims included.
Yoruba Muslims have always defended their land, even when invaders disguised their aggression as “jihad.” During the Osogbo War of 1840, prominent Yoruba Muslim warriors played heroic roles in repelling the Ilorin forces, a vassal army of the Sokoto Fulani caliphate. Among them were Balogun Ali Iwo, Muhammad Obadoke Latoosa, and the Ibadan Islamic scholar Balogun Muhammadu Osundina Baba Apanpa, who went into battle wearing his turban and carrying his ablution kettle.
Let us therefore reject fake news, terrorist propaganda, and Islamophobic hate campaigns. We are all in this together. Yoruba Muslims remain indispensable in the defence of Yorubaland against criminals and terrorists of any ethnicity or creed.

The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

Asa (culture) is different from Oosa ( Idol worshipping). Muslims, beware, and do not let pagans confuse the two; they mix them together to promote paganism under the false guise of promoting culture..

The Safe Schools Initiative in Nigeria is operationally under the NSCDC. The initiative aims to protect students, teachers, and school infrastructure from attacks by deploying smart security solutions, rapid response units, and emergency panic alert systems.
@ifeday_o@muslimsconnect0 This is ignorance speaking otherwise you would have known that Islam has continued to be the fastest growing religion across the world. It is you idolaters who are seeking relevance
