If tonight is Laylatul Qadr, Ya Allah relieve every Muslim drowning in debt, every father struggling to provide, every mother silently sacrificing for her children. Open doors of halal rizq that nobody can close.
Ameen ya Allah 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
If I were to fully write about my experience in the House of Allah, it might sound like exaggeration. Some people who have come before me might understand how I feel.
I have never set foot in any country before now and felt this kind of goosebumps. The feeling is indescribable. The sight of Masjid al-Ḥarām had me overwhelmed in a way I couldn’t understand. Millions of people moving around the Kaʿbah in ��awāf at the same time, the rhythm in people’s voices, the atmosphere of devotion — everything felt different, not like anywhere I have been before.
I have never felt anything like it before, and I’m not sure I will ever feel this way again in another land.
Now I truly understand why it is called Makkah al-Mukarramah, which literally translates to The Honoured City Of Makkah. Allah has indeed honoured this land.
When Yoruba people say “orí mi ń wú” (my head feels overwhelmed with emotion), I literally experienced it. I felt something shift inside me, I felt like something was moving beneath my hair/scalp. As someone who have been to few countries and some major big cities in the world, Makkah is unlike anywhere I have ever been.
There are some things you simply cannot understand through explanations alone. You have to experience them yourself. Visiting the House of Allah is one of those things.
The things I had only read about in books… the things I had been taught in ilé-kewu… the things I had seen on television countless times… I saw them with my own eyes—live.
Maqām Ibrāhīm.
The Black Stone.
The Kaʿbah.
All inside one compound.
Then other historical sites.
The Quran reciters I see on the internet, listen to their voices, I saw them with my eyes, the were all in rows. I prayed behind them.
I am grateful to my Lord for this journey. May this Umrah be accepted from me, and may it be counted among the sincere efforts I have made in the path of the religion of Allah.
May Allah forgive my shortcomings, accept my worship, and allow the blessings of this journey to remain with me long after | leave.
May Allah invite everyone who longs to visit His House. May it not be a one time thing for people who crave it multiple times too.
Āmīn.
Dear Muslim,
Now that we know that it pains Shaytan and the little Shayātin very badly when we speak of Islam, don't hold back on your Islam. Post it everyday like your breath depends on it. Affirm and reaffirm that it is the only true faith in the sight of God. Affirm and reaffirm the truth of Islam, spread its message and never shy to make it known that you are proud and grateful for being a Muslim.
Let the little Shayātin feel the pain and never get healed from it until they respect your faith as you've always respected theirs.
AlhamduliLlah for Islam. There will never be a blessing greater than being a Muslim. May we live and die ONLY as Muslims. Āmīn.
THIS IS MUFTI YAKS!
This was in 2024, when he led Taraweeh in Egypt.
This Ramadan, he is no longer with us. 💔
I’m resharing his recitation so that everyone who listens may be a source of ongoing reward for him.
May Allah grant him Jannah.

Our choices shape our legacy and our destiny. A life dedicated to Allah [swt] and full of barakah may be enriched and prolonged.
On the other hand, the scholars say that sin destroys the blessings of our years and our wealth on Earth. The choice between a fruitful, blessed life and a sinful one is always ours to make
What does it mean to “feed the most vulnerable people around us”? How did our beloved prophet ﷺ put this into practice, especially in the sacred months - Rajab, Sha'aban, and Ramadan? How can we follow in his footsteps?
Please prepare for your best Ramadan ever. Islam places kindness at the heart of worship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Allah [swt] is kind and loves kindness in all matters.” (Sahih Muslim). Please join us today. Together, let us make our brothers and sisters focus on their ib'adah and worry less about what to eat during Ramadan

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Please if you come across this as a Muslim, kindly spare us little time to read through.
We recently lost a brother in a tragic accident while he was travelling for his charcoal business. At the scene of the accident, all the money he was carrying for the business trip, along with his phone and other valuables, were stolen by those by those who got to the accident scene earlier.
At the moment, some of his business partners have chosen to forgive their dues, but four of them are still requesting repayment. The total outstanding debt is ₦645,000.
Our late brother left behind only an aged mother and a young widow. He was also his mother’s only child. Sadly, these two women are not financially capable of settling this debt.
As Muslims, we have decided to come together to help clear this debt on his behalf, being mindful of the serious consequences of debt upon those who have passed on.
We humbly appeal to you for support. Any amount will go a long way in easing this burden.

May Allah reward you abundantly for every contribution and grant mercy to our departed brother.
Amin.
