I attended a wedding yesterday.
Somewhere during the event, I was told to ask in public that one beautiful woman become my wife.
I sha asked and her waliyy consented.
@Ayo_Mhidey I don't think people understand the dire situation we are. About 4-5 positions already exist that we MUST get first team players. About 2-3 others require quality depth. After half a bil last summer, we need bargain signings.
Distribution of a deceased person’s estate in Islam doesn’t factor age as a yardstick for what each person gets.
In fact, a foetus in the womb whose gender has been confirmed (or not) will have its own portion set aside, to be distributed to it upon successful birth, if it is delivered as a still born, the reserved portion will be redistributed among the remaining heirs in accordance with their original fraction.
With the recent transfer of Zadok Yohanna, chances are several persons will look to invest in football with the aim of maximising their capital. However, it is important to note that football remains one of the most unforgiving sports - investment wise - and may be likened to (1)
This argument is fundamentally flawed.
You might need to tell us your understanding of the shariah first so we can begin from there.
If you think it's until Shari'ah as a legal system is implemented before the scenario you painted can playout, you are mistaken because the Constitution empowers the Shari'ah court of appeal to adjudicate on Islamic personal laws. Its jurisdiction extends to testate and intestate succession of Muslims.
.
If there is a non Muslim issue or wife of a Muslim patriarch, it is settled that such an issue or wife cannot inherit him under the shariah except by way of wasiyyah. The decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of MOHAMMED V. MOHAMMED emphasizes this.
There are learned Justices of the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court learned in Islamic personal law who hear and determine such appeals. This is Shariah being applied without it being institutionalized as a legal system. The shariah courts do not have jurisdiction over Christians unless they consent.
You would have made a better case if it were about the applicability of Islamic penal laws but even that, you cannot make a superior argument than we would.
I think the issue is that people often reduce Islam to a religion in the modern sense of the word—a set of rituals, beliefs and acts of worship. If that were all Islam was, then perhaps one could say, “I am Yoruba first and Muslim too.” But Islam is much bigger than that.
Being Yoruba tells me my ethnicity. It tells me the language of my ancestors, aspects of my culture, certain customs, histories and social experiences—and all of these are recognized and valued by Islam. But being Yoruba does not tell me why I exist. It does not tell me where I came from before birth or where I am going after death. It does not tell me what the purpose of suffering is. It does not give me a final moral standard by which good and evil are measured. It does not settle questions of worship, law, justice, family, economics, governance, sexuality, death, accountability or the meaning of life itself. Guess what does—Islam, the comprehensive manual to living.
I'll go on and say that Islam is not merely an identity among identities. It is a worldview. It is the lens through which every other identity is understood. That is why a Muslim can proudly be Yoruba, but he cannot place Yoruba above Islam. The reason is not that Yoruba culture is evil or haram. Rather, culture itself has limits. Culture can preserve language, customs and communal bonds, but Islam, by the wisdom of Allah with it, gives those things direction and judges them.
When a cultural practice is good, Islam affirms it. When it is harmful, Islam corrects it. When it is noble, Islam elevates it. When it conflicts with Islamic dictates, Islam replaces it. And in that case, the question will not be whether being Yoruba prevents someone from being a true Muslim. Of course it doesn't. The real question is which identity serves as the foundation for every other identity.
For a Muslim, Islam is the foundation because it answers questions that ethnicity, nationality and culture were never designed to answer. I am Yoruba by ethnicity. I am Muslim by aqeedah (creed and belief), worldview, purpose, allegiance and ultimate identity. One describes where I come from, and the other describes who I am.
I’m a muslim first and last. All other things are embedded within. Whatever ISLAM negates from yoruba culture is not permissible for me, and whatever it allows or encourages from it, i accept.
Just as my parent birthed me as a MUSLIM, May i breathe my last as a MUSLIM🤲.
We can’t openly talk about it because…
1. If happily married people share the sacrifices and adjustments they make, some people will still misunderstand or criticize it.
2. The internet is full of opinions, judgment, and even evil eyes, so many people prefer to protect their
I get so angry when I see the word “MT” being used as a slur
Nikini
Did they tell you MT is a group or association?
If you are a Muslim ,then automatically you are part of Muslim Twitter not turning it to a slur .

Liverpool are in big trouble. I’m not catastrophizing. Klopp and Edwards ruined a perfectly working system because they couldn’t keep their respective egos in check and wanted the success to be about either one of them. They failed to realize that the success was built on both…
