@SirJarus Not much the case in Hausa-Fulani communities. I know a number of rich, big, and influential men who have none of their family members settled abroad. Visit, study, yes.
A few weeks ago, I sat down with the Corporate Communications Team @ Mainstream to talk about the future of tech in the power sector. You may find the discussion interesting: https://t.co/WtY1gh00Qz
Alhamdulillah. On August 4th, I was inducted into the medical profession. Honored to serve as Valedictorian and receive awards as Overall Best Graduating Student, and Best in Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Histopathology, O&G, Internal Medicine, and Surgery. By Allah's grace.
@YusufAsunmogejo I think al-Qaradawi has a view that if someone’s cumulative annual salary exceeds the nisab, they should pay zakat on it - not to wait for nisab balance - either monthly or at the end of the year. He likened salary earners to farmers, who must pay zakat after each harvest season.
@thebotxguy@KarounwiAdini And how do you explain the many Hausa and Fulani Muslims they killed up North daily and which are, by far, the majority of their victims?
These are our Eid al-Adha Checklist and Sunnah to Uphold on this Day
They are in 4 phases;
Phase 1: Before Leaving the House
1. Performing a full ritual bath (Ghusl) before heading out to the prayer ground.
2. Wearing your absolute best, cleanest clothes and applying perfume (for men).
3. Delaying eating anything until you return from the Eid prayer to eat from your sacrifice.
4. Ensuring your entire family is ready to come along, including women, children, and even menstruating women who can sit nearby to witness the blessings of the day.
Phase 2: On the Way to the Prayer Ground
1. Heading out early to the prayer ground to secure your spot in the front rows.
2. Walking to the prayer ground on foot if you are physically able, rather than driving.
3. Moving toward the Eid prayer ground while loudly reciting the Takbeer.
4. Giving charity to the poor and needy on your way to or from the prayer ground to share the joy.
5. Smiling, showing happiness, and spreading peace to everyone you pass, whether you know them or not.
Phase 3: At the Eid Prayer Ground (Musalla)
1. Performing the Eid prayer outdoors in an open field (Musalla) rather than inside a regular mosque, unless weather forces you inside.
2. Avoiding any voluntary prayers (Nafl) before or after the Eid prayer while at the prayer ground itself.
3. Listening quietly to the Eid sermon (Khutbah) after the prayer is completed before leaving.
4. Congratulating your fellow believers with the traditional greeting: Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum (May Allah accept it from us and from you).
Phase 4: The Return and the Sacrifice
1. Changing your route on the way back home so you return using a completely different road.
2. Slaughtering your sacrificial animal (Udhiyah) immediately after the Eid prayer is finished, not before.
3. Eating the liver of your sacrificial animal as the very first meal of the day if you are slaughtering.
4. Ensuring that the meat from your sacrifice is divided properly into three parts: for your household, for gifts to friends/neighbors, and for charity to the poor.
Taqaballahu Minna Wa Minkum 🙏
Allah knows best.
@BashirElRufai Regardless of one's ethnic background, majority of people in Northern Nigeria, including the traditional rulers, have been Hausanized. Bar the Northeast, you rarely find Fulfude spoken in major cities. It is banditry and politics that are pushing this emphasis on the differences.
A man from Kogi State, Malam Yahya Saeed, is being celebrated after five of his six daughters won prizes at the 1447AH/2026 Rabida Qur’anic Competition.
All six daughters are Qur’an memorizers, with five representing Kogi State and returning home with trophies. Congratulations to the family. 🎉
@AsiyaRodrigo Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever has faith in Allah and the Last Day, let him not be secluded with an unrelated woman without her guardian, lest Satan be the third of them.”
The way people ignore HARAM when it comes to stealing public fund makes you question the sincerity of our faith as Muslims. It is not a contest, as to whom loots more. The fact that others are looting doesn't justify you to do the same. HARAM isn't only on alcohol, pork chops, adultery & fornication, homosexuality & others, because that public fund you loot is HARAM, likely more dangerous than sinning between you and God, because when you sin directly to God, He is more likely to forgive you than when you steal public funds meant for the people.
Arabic is truly a nuanced language. It even has distinct words for a grandchild from a son (male: حفيد, female: حفيدة) and from a daughter (male: سبط, female: سبطة). Such depth of expression helps us appreciate the precision, beauty, and clarity of the Qur’anic message.

@YusufAsunmogejo For women, men'll never truly "master d duty of protection..." Even d Prophet's (SAW) wives experienced this fear. They competed for his attention & placed him under such immense pressure that he left them for a month. If we take dis fear into account, polygamy would never exist.
@M_buhsting The natives in these states speak Hausa "fluently and perfectly." Dialect differs between them, but that's perfectly acceptable. There's no example that demonstrates this perfectly than the fact that "the Quran was revealed in 7 dialects" for ease of recital - all 7 valid.
