While I tend to be a fan of the "Muslims should go to Muslim/private schools" position, I am a bigger fan of not allowing the kuffar to have their way in times like this.
I am more firmly of the view that this is a poor and dangerous compromise to make, particularly to the detriment of southern Muslims. As long as an institution is not faith-based, it is extremely problematic to hold this view.
Not to mention the significant issue with this school in question claiming to be private yet attached to a federal university. One would reasonably expect that most parents enrolling their children there are doing so aware of its particular benefits, and indeed, many university staff would naturally have privileged access to those benefits. For the kuffar to then have a decisive say over the religious expression of Muslim students within such an institution is deeply problematic.
Furthermore, while the Hijab may not yet be considered mandatory by most scholars for most students, there is a mature and well-grounded case for why familiarising Muslimahs and even Muslims with it early, for their own development and for its normalisation in society, makes any rule prohibiting it completely unacceptable. Such a rule must never be allowed to stand.
Permitting Muslimahs to wear even a minimal head covering that barely satisfies Hijab conditions is a trivial administrative concession. The vehemence of the opposition to even that reveals that this is less about institutional uniformity and more about naked anti-Muslim sentiment, which is precisely why we must absolutely resist and crush the dissidence from the kuffar on this matter.
The "go elsewhere" solution is also deeply flawed in principle. What is stopping the kuffar in control of a non-faith institution from mandating outright that the Hijab must not be worn? It is an entirely foreseeable precedent, and the institutional ground conceded here does not stay contained.
For all these reasons, "just go elsewhere" is not an acceptable position in this case. It can never be.
My uncle’s family has not been the same since their son was kidnapped, slaughtered, and buried by his own friend in Bauchi in 2020. The 18-year-old boy collected ransom and still went on with the heinous act.
Justice was not served; at one point, the perpetrator walked freely because his family held some influence.
Since then, it has been one trial after another for my uncle and his wife. A once healthy and vibrant family crumbled in such a short time.
Innalilahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.
Today, my uncle has returned to his Creator. I pray he has finally found peace.
He was one of the finest doctors in Bauchi State, if not the very best.
May Allah have mercy on him, forgive his shortcomings, and grant him Al-Jannah. Ameen.
Over the years, we have been successfully brainwashed into thinking small, lacking ambition, and doing mediocre things.
In fact, if you understand your faith well, you’ll know that you should try to excel in everything good that you do.
Please aim for greatness.
Sometimes we become so preoccupied with perfecting our qiraaʾah and tajweed that we unintentionally sacrifice khushoʿ - the presence of the heart. May Allah grant us recitation that beautifies our voices without emptying our hearts, and may He bless us with true khushooʿ. Aameen.
They didn’t really escape it. Sickle cell awareness was very low then, and the knowledge about it wasn’t as popular as it is today. Many were categorised as “Aljanu”, while some were tagged as “Mayu” where innocent t people got framed for attacking someone especially in villages.
There are rejections that feel like a crushing blow to your dreams.
If that happens, remember why you started, sharpen the blade and go again.
Good things don’t come easy.
Mallam, kana tan talaka daga arewa, ka tashi ka nemi na kanka. Ka nemi kudi, ka nemi arziki, ka roki Allah ya baka. Ba abin kunya a chiki.
Kuma idan ka sami aiki mai dama dama, ka rike shi. Kar kache zaka bari ka tafi neman aiki gwamnati.
Hold your job or business like your life depends on it. There’s nothing more devastating than having to be begging people to give you money.
Allah ya bamu sa’a. Amin.
To all those sisters that dress in their beautiful Hijabs—leaving nothing to be revealed—in a society where wearing of the Hijab is considered “old fashioned”, may Allah continue to make you steadfast on the deen.
It is how the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT HAS IGNORED ITS WORKERS AFTER WICKEDLY DELAYING SALARIES, WHEN THE ECONOMY IS SO HARSH.
WHERE IS OUR SALARY?
ITS BEEN 6 WEEKS SINCE LAST SALARY.

Dikko Radda is parading Keke ambulances.
Abba Gida Gida is funding mass weddings.
Uba Sani is funding useless PR bots.
These three governors are right up there among the most incompetent governors in Nigeria. I pray none of them makes it past 2027 elections.
Today I sat listening to a scholar speak about something we all need — how to truly change. How to move from being someone trapped in bad habits and sins to a person who consistently chooses good deeds and walks in righteousness.
He didn’t just motivate. He gave clear, practical steps: how to break negative patterns, redesign your environment, make good actions easier than bad ones, and stay consistent even when motivation fades. From the very first trigger of change to protecting the habit for life.
As he spoke, my heart raced. Every single principle he mentioned — from the first step to the last — was exactly what James Clear teaches in Atomic Habits.
It was one of those beautiful, mind-blowing moments where modern science and timeless Islamic guidance on self-reform (tazkiyah) meet and speak the same language. The scholar gave us the “why” and the spiritual fuel. The book gave us the practical “how.”
The message is powerful and full of hope: You don’t need a dramatic overnight transformation. You need small, consistent steps. Smart systems. An environment that helps you succeed. And above all, sincere intention + tawakkul in Allah.
Whether you’re trying to leave a particular sin, build tahajjud, read Quran daily, or simply become more disciplined and kind — the formula is the same. Start tiny. Make it obvious and easy. Stay consistent. Let Allah grow it.
I walked away from that talk feeling genuinely hopeful and equipped. Change is possible. We are not defined by our past. We can become better — for this life and the next.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, pick up Atomic Habits. Listen to reminders from sincere scholars. Then start with just one small good deed today and protect it.
Alhamdulillah for knowledge that actually helps us transform.
The recently Launched Keke Napep ambulances by the Katsina state government is not bringing any health services closer to the people.
A standard ambulance vehicle can reach anywhere a Keke Napep can go.
It’s just changing a standard services with shabby one.
Let’s be guided.

Sometimes, Allah looks at your efforts, determination, and sincerity with an unshakable faith in attaining something and gives it to you with khair in it.
