All praises and adoration belongs to Allah, the Lord of the world.
I bear witness that there’s no other god except Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the last Messenger of Allah.
Legally, this practice is Unlawful in Nigeria but thank GOD it did not happen in Nigeria.
If you try this as a Nigerian
You will be paraded as a Ritualist, even if it's your parent or grand parent Skull
Religion wise, this is pure idolatary which the Christian Faith preach against.
No matter how we sugarcoat it, that's the Fact
What you call idolatary is basically venerating out own ancestors too and the only difference there is that we venerate our own daily and in different way
Imagine seeing Papa Adeboye, David Oyedepo, Baba Kumuyi and the rest practice something like this or even a Cele or C&S Prophet bring out their Founders Skull like this for veneration.
Imagine what will happen
If you are a Catholic
Pls don't try something like this in Nigeria ooo
Our law doesn't allow such
Or else
You go explain tire
Ignorance of the law is no excuse

Alhamdulillah that Islaam teaches that a dead person should be handled with care and prohibits mutilation of a dead person unless it has a larger benefits such as autopsy when someone dies under suspicious conditions.
@CEruobodo And are these innovators not supposed to have listened since?? If sufis have stopped celebrating mawlid, they would have stopped preaching about it too but you wouldn’t listening 👂🤮
Haaa esin de 😭😭😭😭
I told my mom that her Ablution is still valid even if she eats food that food is not part of what void Ablution.
She don ask me to tell her the Hadith that back it up and I’ve been staring at my phone for some minutes now 😭😭
Wa alaikum salam. This is a very sensitive situation, but it is a commonly asked question.
I would prefer we look at it from both the Islamic angle and the Yoruba cultural angle.
Islamically, the father remains the Wali (guardian) of the bride. Divorce between the parents does not break the tie between the father and his daughter. He still has the primary right to give her out in marriage.
On the cultural side, as Yorubas, the introduction normally holds at the father's house or the extended family house (Ile Ebi). The fact that the mother no longer lives there does not change the daughter's root.
Since you mentioned there are little issues, which usually means the divorced parents are at loggerheads, here is the best way to handle it:
1) If the tension is high, the best and most cultured place for the introduction is the extended family house. This serves as a neutral ground. It allows the mother to attend comfortably without entering her ex-husband's personal house, while the father still retains his honor.
2) As the groom, you do not decide the venue. Your fiancé needs to involve her family elders, like her uncles or grandfather. They will dictate the venue and manage the parents.
3) Do not get involved in their family politics. Wherever the elders and the father agree on, you and your family should go there and show maximum respect to both parents.
Just tell your fiancé to let her family elders step in and pick a neutral family ground.
You will be fine.
Allah knows best.
I remember in 2014 when I was working as an intern in one of Ajimobi’s mansions in Park View Gerard. He was used to sending the facility manager to us, but many of us would not see anything.
That is how one day at about 3pm in the afternoon, he was about going out. He called for all the workers in the mansion and asked us to line up.
"Ati Agbalagba ati omode yin, e to sibi 😅" he said.
He rebuked the facility manager right there in front of everyone for sitting on what he usually sent to us.
That was how he told his ADC to open the bag in the boot, and he gave each and every one of us cash for lunch directly. He made sure everybody got the same amount.
He said: ori oju ori 😅
The euphoria after he left that day no be small 😅
But wait, who is a hardcore Muslim?
To define a hardcore Muslim, we need to know who is giving the definition. If the standard is coming from somebody like Rybeena and the unserious people who are not ready to submit to the rules of the Almighty, then the definition is already in the mud.
Did you listen to the him? This guy is a typical Muslim only by the virtue of his parents giving him a Muslim name. He is not a person who has taken time to learn his religion.
That is why he can proudly sit on a podcast and excuse his ignorance by saying he is not a hardcore Muslim.
I can’t even contain the absolute nonsense he was saying about music. The host asked if music is haram, he said no.
You know the funny part? He admitted when the host Googled it and saw it is haram. Yet he threw the ruling away and argued that music is life. You see the arrogance? He sees the truth, yet, he chooses his desires, and tries to redefine the religion to fit his worldly lifestyle.
Let me also say that doing Walimah does not mean you understand Islam. When you are deeply comfortable with haram and refuse to change, you will naturally look at normal Muslims practicing the bare minimum and label them "hardcore."
It is just a cheap coping mechanism. You call them hardcore so you will not feel ashamed of your own spiritual laziness.
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
And the world wants to see it in action
Can his children inherit the money he stole money from the government?
Questioner: Assalaamu ‘alaykum
Dr Sharof: Wa’alaykumu ssalaam
Questioner: There is a person who became wealthy as a result of defalcating money from the government work he is doing.
If he dies, will the money be Halaal (permissible) for his children?
Dr Sharof: All (perfect) praise is for Allaah (alone). If a person gathers wealth in an impermissible way, the money is forbidden for him (to spend), but it is permissible for his children who will take possession of his property. He (the father) is the criminal, but it (the money) is permissible for his children who will take possession of his property
This is because (Allaah says), ‘…And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another…’ [Soorah al-Israa (17):15]
Therefore, it is permissible for the children to inherit him, but he (the father) is a sinner and would be held accountable to Allaah. That is why we have to be very careful when struggling to make ends meet.
Don’t engage in unlawful things which you will be held accountable for, while your children inherit the wealth permissibly. For instance, if there is a father who stole money and later dies leaving the money and the owner of the money approaches you (his child); you should return the money back to the owner so that your father does not face many trials on the Day of Qiyaamah (Resurrection). Do you understand? It is better to return the money in this life so that your father’s affair is eased. But if the children disagree and fail to return the money, the owner can take them to court so that he gets back his money in this life. Do you understand? There is no need leaving it till the Day of Qiyaamah (Resurrection), but if they disagree their father would be held accountable on the Day of Qiyaamah (Resurrection).
As another example, if there is a father who got his wealth from selling alcoholic drinks or from gambling, it is permissible for his children to take possession of his wealth. No one should accuse them of taking possession of his wealth because they are not the one who engaged in the act. But before he dies, the children must always warn him to desist from the illegal business, because they must not approve of it. Tell him it is not permissible and you can boycott him perhaps he will know the evil consequence of his actions. And one in a while you can pay him a visit, (and) you must always ask him to stop the business.
However, we should always pray to Allaah to have mercy on us. There may be a person who thinks his wealth is Halaal (permissible) without knowing that something Haroom (forbidden) has entered it. And there may be a person who you think his wealth is completely Haraam (forbidden) while there may be some Halaal (permissible) stuffs in it. May Allaah have mercy on us!

Pages of the Glorious Qur’ān today, Saturday 22/8/26, Sūrah al-Kahf (18): 84-110, tafakkur verse 18: 109
Theme: The Qurʾān - the Word of Allah and an Inexhaustible Compendium of Knowledge and Wisdom
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ ٱلْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ ٱلْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِۦ مَدَدًا
“Say, ‘If the sea were ink for writing the Words of my Lord, the sea would surely be exhausted before the Words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement.’”
LESSONS:
1. The knowledge of Allah is limitless: Human knowledge, however vast it may appear, remains finite. Every discovery we make, every mystery we solve and every field of knowledge we develop represents only a tiny portion of what Allah knows. The oceans themselves, immense beyond ordinary human imagination, would be insufficient as ink to record the boundless knowledge, wisdom, decrees and words of Allah.
2. The verse teaches intellectual humility: Knowledge should make us humble, not arrogant. The more human beings discover about the universe, life, the human body, the oceans and the heavens, the more we should recognise how much remains unknown. No scholar, scientist or intellectual reaches a point where there is nothing more to learn. Before the infinite knowledge of Allah, every human being remains a student.
3. Allah's creation continually reveals His greatness: The sea in this verse is not merely a metaphor of quantity; it invites contemplation. Consider its enormous volume, depth and expanse. Then imagine all of it transformed into ink, and another sea of equal magnitude added to it. Allah declares that all of it would be exhausted while His Words remained inexhaustible. Creation therefore points beyond itself to the immeasurable greatness of its Creator.
4. Our inability to understand everything should strengthen our trust in Allah: There will always be events whose wisdom we cannot immediately comprehend. This is particularly meaningful at the end of Surah Al-Kahf, after the story of Mūsā and al-Khiḍr demonstrated the limitations of human perception. What appears confusing to us may rest upon a wisdom known perfectly to Allah. Faith teaches us to seek understanding while recognising that our knowledge has boundaries.
5. A believer should never stop seeking beneficial knowledge: Since the treasures of Allah's knowledge are inexhaustible, learning should be a lifelong journey. Every verse studied, every beneficial book read, every sincere question asked and every truth discovered should increase our awareness of how much more there is to know. True knowledge ultimately leads the believer not merely to information, but to awe, humility, gratitude and greater submission to Allah.
O Allah, the All-Knowing, whose Words can never be exhausted and whose knowledge encompasses all things, grant us beneficial knowledge, sincere understanding and humble hearts. Teach us what benefits us, benefit us through what You teach us, and increase us in knowledge and wisdom. Protect us from the arrogance of knowledge and the ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know. Make every knowledge we acquire a means of recognising Your greatness, strengthening our faith and drawing nearer to You. Āmīn.
Imagine, someone like Dele Momodu trying to lecture Bola Tinubu about democracy and how to be a democrat. What a comic relief! Twenty years since dog has been domesticated, monkey was still residing in the bush!!!!
Ladoja was PDP, Tinubu helped to restore his mandate. Mimiko was LP, Tinubu restored his stolen mandate. Oshiomole was brought from LP to ACN, Tinubu also restored his mandate. When PDP cabal expelled Ngige from PDP, it was Tinubu that provided him a sanctuary in the ACN. As Tinubu was helping Aregbesola and Fayemi to retrieve their mandates, he was also helping Atiku to retain his VP Mandate, and when PDP expelled Atiku from their party, it was Tinubu that provided him with another platform to cover his shame.
Tinubu the Co-Founder of NADECO leading the battle against Abacha to restore Abiola’s 1993 mandate would still not abandon Muhammadu Buhari, when he couldn’t win presidential elections three times. Tinubu led the first successful opposition parties merger in history that uprooted a ruling party. Despite all these, TINUBU didn’t hold any political office since the inception of the APC, having sacrificed his shares for others in the interest of the party and until 2023, he was politically on his own, but one with God is a majority!!!!
Tinubu, a friend of Soludo’s APGA, companion of Otti’s LP, brother of Adeleke’s Accord and Ally of PDP National Leader, Wike. Yet, he’s the Leader of APC whom some failed contestants and their Cardinal still describe as a One Party State politician!
Tinubu is the greatest Democrat of this era, a leader whose greatest strength is his limitless ability to make political sacrifice in the interest of general stability, an attribute that Atiku and Obi are bereft of!!!!!
Let me start with the thing nobody wants to say.
Atiku Abubakar is wrong. Bringing back the fuel subsidy is not the answer. We tried it for forty years. It made a few men billionaires, it fed smugglers at our borders, and it never once put money in the pocket of the woman selling tomatoes by the roadside. Going back to it would be going back to the same thieves.
Mr President, you have done well. Removing the subsidy was hard and you did it. You have also sent far more money to the states than any President before you. The Federal Government has done its part.
Now the states must do theirs.
And let me say this as plainly as I know how, so that no governor can pretend to misunderstand it.
Subsidising transport inside a state is the job of that state government. It is not the job of the President. It has never been his job. It is not his job today. It will not be his job tomorrow. Moving people around Ilorin is not the work of Abuja, it is the work of the Kwara State Government. Moving people around Kano is the work of Kano State. Moving people around Lagos is the work of Lagos State.
This is not my opinion. It is our Constitution. Transport within a state is a state matter. The Federal Government has no business running a bus from Ozumba Mbadiwe to Ikorodu, and it should not be asked to. In fact, since the constitutional amendment of 2023, our governors have more power over transport than any governors in the history of this republic. They are simply not using it.
So when a governor tells you the hardship in his state is Abuja's fault, ask him one question: what have you done with your own allocation?
Because that is where the money is. And that is where the responsibility is.
In December 2022, one bus drop inside a Nigerian city cost ₦644. Today it is ₦1,431. Our people are now working half the month just to pay the bus. A man who cannot afford to reach his workplace does not really have a job. A child who cannot afford to reach school does not really have an education.
So this is what I am asking every one of the 36 governors and the Minister of the FCT to do.
One. Students ride free. Every student, to school and back home, at no cost. Not discounted. Free.
Two. Nobody pays more than ₦500. From one end of a city to the farthest end of that same city, ₦500 maximum. And in our smaller cities and towns, it should be far less than that.
Three. Do not buy a single bus. Governors, please. No buses. No taxis. No boats. We have seen those vehicles rusting in government yards from Sokoto to Yenagoa. Instead, register the drivers who are already on the road, fix the fare the passenger pays, and pay the driver the difference.
Four. Pay only for trips you can prove. GPS on the vehicle, a tap card in the passenger's hand. If a trip did not happen, nobody gets paid. That is how you kill fraud before it is born.
The drivers will not lose. The drivers will get richer. Today a driver chases passengers in traffic and prays. Under this scheme he earns a guaranteed payment from the state every month. With steady income he can service his vehicle, and in time he can buy a newer, cleaner, safer one.
And our people will feel it immediately. Money that used to disappear into transport will stay in the pocket for food, for rent, for medicine, for school fees. That is a pay rise that costs nobody a job.
Now, the money. FAAC allocations to the states have exploded since the subsidy was removed from ₦2.8 trillion in 2022 to ₦7.3 trillion in 2025. Nigerians have been asking a fair question ever since: where did it go?
I am asking each state to spend no more than five per cent of its FAAC allocation on this. Five per cent. Ninety-five per cent remains untouched for everything else.
If a governor cannot find five per cent to stop his own people from suffering, then the problem in that state was never money.
Shaykh Amubieya revealed one of his PERSONAL criteria for knowing his friend is sensible.
You would benefit from it.
