"Allah is The One Who Created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is The Knowing, The Competent".
-Surah Ar-Rum, Ayah 54
It is always good to read the full context. Read the Hadith before and after this one that was wrongly quoted and explained with blasphemy (5254 and 5256 Sahih Bukhari- Kitabut- talaq)
She was married to him(SAW); he treated her with kindness, respect and divorced her peacefully
@khadijahzakari_ The prophet (SAW) provided an easier way out, while giving out your daughters, choose men of "deen" and "good character", and i promise you the outcome will be good. Its not a bad idea for a woman to have a source of income, but putting trust in Allah (SWT) overall is d way out
The translation is based on ijtihad (efforts) of Ulama. As expected, anything humanly is prone to err. So, yes it isnโt considered as a mushaf as Quran is known to be the word of Allah and is completely preserved just the way it was revealed โin Arabicโ.
A Muslim mother who guards her modesty raises a daughter who understands her worth.
In a world that promotes exposure, they choose obedience.
They are not dressed to impress the world โ they are dressed to please Allah.
Modesty is power.
Hijab is honor.
And a mother who lives Islam doesnโt need many lectures โ her daughter is already watching.

He highlighted a reality many Muslims recognize, in Nigeria and around the world: we are often pushed into a constant state of defense. Accusations come one after another:
โIslam doesnโt give women rights.โ โIslam is extreme.โ โIslam is harsh.โ And so we respond. We explain. We clarify. We defend.
But he warned that remaining perpetually on the defensive distracts us from a greater responsibility; to confidently and wisely invite others to Islam.
Islam is not defined merely as โpeace,โ as it is often reduced to in modern discourse. The word Islam means total submission to the will of Allah ๏ทป; a complete and conscious surrender of oneโs desires, actions, and life to the Creator. To say โI am Muslimโ is to say: I submit fully to Allah. I do what He commands and refrain from what He forbids.
Sheikh Jafar (ุฑุญู ู ุงููู) also challenged a common narrative: the portrayal of Islam as inherently aggressive. He pointed to history โ particularly the battles of Badr and Uhud โ emphasizing that the early Muslim community faced persecution, expulsion, and armed pursuit. The Prophet ๏ทบ & his companions were forced from Makkah, migrated seeking peace, and were pursued to the outskirts of Madinah. The Battle of Badr itself took place near Madinah after hostile forces advanced toward them. His broader point was about perspective: history is often told by those who control the narrative. Yet global history is filled with devastating wars, colonization, and mass civilian casualties carried out by powerful nations โ from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Algeria, Iraq, Gaza & beyond, the Christian West has killed tens of millions of innocent Muslims, either during colonization or modern day imperialism. Still, Islam is frequently singled out as uniquely violent.
Whether one agrees with every framing or not, his message was clear: Muslims should not internalize narratives that constantly place them on trial. Instead, they should understand their faith deeply, represent it with integrity, and engage the world with confidence, knowledge, and wisdom. Nearly two decades later, his words still provoke reflection.
May Allah have mercy on him and grant us clarity, balance, and steadfastness.
