Many social media influencers claimed an attack in the Nigerian city of Jos in March was targeting Christians – but #BBCAfricaEye has found that both Muslims and Christians were killed, and that authorities have yet to establish a motive.
I have launched the actual test of this AI Glass that I built to help blind people and people with visual impairments
I started testing it directly on the face of a person with a visual impairment to see how it would work in real life👓
And what amazed me the most is that after the blind person wore the glass, he said that for him, it was amazing

This project of mine is getting close to where I want it to be

APPLAUSE FOR MARYAM IBRAHIM DAN’ AZUMI, NIGERIA’S QUR’ANIC CHAMPION
I heartily congratulate Maryam Ibrahim Dan’ Azumi on her remarkable victory at the 46th King Abdulaziz International Qur’anic Competition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Emerging victorious in a competition featuring participants from 132 other countries is an extraordinary achievement. Her mastery of the Holy Qur’an, including memorisation, recitation, Tajweed and Tafsir, reflects years of discipline, sacrifice, dedication and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
Maryam’s success is another powerful reminder of the enormous potential of young Nigerians to compete and excel on the global stage. Even more inspiring is the remarkable example of her family, with her elder sister, Hajara Ibrahim Dan Azumi, also having emerged first in an international Qur’anic competition in Jordan in 2024. Their achievements demonstrate what is possible when talent is nurtured through strong values, education, mentorship and family support.
I congratulate their parents, teachers and mentors whose sacrifices and guidance have contributed immensely to these outstanding accomplishments.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, I celebrate Maryam for bringing honour to our country. May this achievement inspire millions of young Nigerians to pursue knowledge, discipline and excellence, and may Allah continue to increase her in knowledge and make the Holy Qur’an a source of guidance and blessing in her life.
Congratulations, Maryam. Nigeria is proud of you.

A YES TO THIS MAN AS YOUR HUSBAND
As a sister in Islam, these are the things that we should focus on when approving a potential husband: his aqidah, iman, akhlaq, adab, and his capacity to sustain both of your daily living. These are the top priorities. Having the same aqidah is crucial and must be the top priority; seeing iman in him is vital and second; his akhlaq and adab play a great role in your relationship, and his financial capability is also important.
Remember and think about these things:
First of all, it is not important if a man is rich or not; never focus on his financial status. What is important is that he is capable of providing for your daily and basic needs for you and your children. That is what matters most. A stable job or being rich won't guarantee a better life with him in the future. Likewise, being poor doesn't mean you'll have a miserable life with him. Our rizq is in the Hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala; He is the one who gives us provisions and blessings, not a "stable job."
“And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.” (Qur'an 51:22)
Never wish to be rich and have excessive wealth if you fear that you won't be just. Indeed, there is a hadith that says there are only two things one should envy: knowledge that is shared and implemented, and wealth that is spent in charity and other good deeds.
“The Prophet said: Envy is allowed in two cases: a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e., religious knowledge) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.” (Sahih Bukhari)
“And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, ‘My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.’” (Qur'an 63:10)
It is important to understand that wealth and knowledge are blessings from Allah, and they come with responsibilities. Wealth should be used to help others and support good causes, not just for personal gain. Similarly, knowledge should be shared and used to guide others on the right path.
Secondly, never think that you're too young or that he is too young just because, for instance, he’s 23 and you're turning 24, or whatever age you are right now. As long as both of you are already spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically mature, then say yes. You should take advantage of having a healthy physical body and your youth! Have a child whom you will both raise in accordance with Islam.
Indeed, there’s a hadith that says:
“Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death.” (Narrated by Ibn Abbas, reported in Al-Hakim)
Raising a child who will make dua for you after you leave this world or after you pass away is crucial:
“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim)
“And those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith – We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.” (Qur'an 52:21)
Thirdly, nothing is certain and permanent in this Dunya except death. If a man proposes to you and he has those qualities, then you should say yes. You cannot guarantee that you'll still live in this world this year or next year, and you can never bring back time. Regret is the only thing you'll be left with.
“Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment...” (Qur'an 3:185)
Fourthly, think and give your 100% preparation for what is to come when you actually die. Have you prepared your life in Barzakh? Have you prepared your good deeds and worships that can intercede or save you on the Day of Yawmul Qiyamah? Can that man help you with that?
“And fear the Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.” (Qur'an 2:281)
And lastly, realize that this world is not our final abode. Think if he can help you prepare and work with you and your family to be among the dwellers in Jannah. So, it is crucial to give your 100% preparation for the akhirah (Barzakh and Yawmul Qiyamah).
“The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).” (Qur'an 3:185)
“Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord, send me back that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind.’ No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a Barzakh until the Day they are resurrected.” (Qur'an 23:99-100)
My sisters, be with a man who has the same mission with you in this Dunya (preparing well for the akhirah, performing Hajj and Umrah before leaving this world, raising righteous children, etc.), the same goals for the Ummah (which you both will serve), and the same vision in the akhirah (desiring to see Allah, be among the dwellers of Jannah, be amongst the neighbors of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and see all the Messengers and Prophets of Allah).
“And those who say: ‘Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.’” (Qur'an 25:74)
Ya Rabb, grant us this kind of blessing. Allahumma Ameen.
Whatever truth and benefit is found in this reminder is solely due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance. Any errors are mine alone. Allah knows best, and He is the Only Source of Strength. May Allah protect us, guide us, and grant us the wisdom to follow His commands with sincerity and humility. Allahumma Ameen.

Makkah, the Most Beloved Land
It is narrated from ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAdī ibn Ḥamrāʾ (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing at Al-Ḥazwarah, and he said:
‘By Allah, you are the best of Allah’s lands and the most beloved of Allah’s lands to Allah. Had I not been driven out from you, I would never have left you.’”
