A New Professional Direction
For years, I have freely used this platform to promote businesses, amplify worthwhile initiatives and support humanitarian causes. Alḥamdulillāh, many people have benefited from that reach.
As the platform continues to grow, I believe it is time to distinguish between voluntary humanitarian support and professional commercial services.
Humanitarian causes will continue to receive my support, at my discretion, without charge. However, commercial promotions, strategic visibility and content services will henceforth be professionally structured and appropriately monetised.
This is not an end to goodwill. I will still freely support businesses and initiatives whenever I choose. But goodwill must remain goodwill, not an entitlement.
Attached is my Commercial Promotion & Strategic Visibility Rate Card, together with the ethical standards governing engagements on this platform.
Professional service. Ethical standards. Meaningful visibility.
If the criticism is that he should have consoled the family first, @Adamthallith already did. He offered his condolences and made du’a for the deceased before saying anything else.
What many people outside Islam see as a lack of emotion is often a reflection of our belief, not a lack of compassion. Islam teaches us that every soul will taste death and that this life is temporary. We cry, we grieve, and we miss our loved ones, but we also submit to the decree of Allah.
Ask any sincere, practicing Muslim what their greatest fear is, and many will give the same answer: “to die without Islam or without Iman”.That is a far greater fear than death itself.
So when a Muslim dies upon Islam, we mourn the loss, but we also thank Allah that He allowed them to leave this world as a believer.
That doesn’t erase the pain of those left behind, but it brings comfort and hope.
That’s why our response often includes “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” and du’a asking Allah to forgive them, have mercy on them, and grant them Jannatul Firdaus.
You are not addressing the issue on ground. This whole thread feels like an attempt to gaslight us away from the core message.
Do you know the funniest thing? I never saw you make any tweet to caution those who were clamouring he should be taken to the church a few days ago. Where was this emotional intelligence then? People were openly disrespecting his faith, but you were silent.
The brother who made that statement said it genuinely out of love. He was not rejoicing over his death. He would never do that. He was expressing only relief that Ogogo did not compromise his Islam at his most vulnerable point.
Whether the timing aligns with your secular rulebook or not, to a Muslim, dying upon Tawheed is the ultimate victory. What he said came from a place of deep care for a fellow Muslim's soul.
This is the way I want you to see it. If you don’t see it that way, you will misinterpret him and that is what is playing out.
I don’t like how you always use your secular public relations to judge our faith. It’s not right and it’s unfair.
As a Muslim, that’s exactly what I also prayed for him immediately I heard of his demise
Alhaji ogogo was a dedicated and faithful Muslim all his life and times like this are the ones where Almighty Allah (SWT) tends to test our faith, there are so many people like him who did nothing but practiced Islam their whole life then during times of hardship began to seek help from something else different from Almighty Allah
Being born a Muslim and dying as a Muslim during times of great suffering, pain and hardship is a very rare blessing that Allah only bless upon his own.
May my death come only when he’s pleased with me 🙏
Why do you keep stopping your quotation on “In all of these, I am glad” tho?
Don’t be stubborn! A lot of Muslims have told you it is right, and that is the most correct reaction most importantly as it is what every Muslim is praying for while alive. As Allah has granted it to our brother, why shouldn’t we be glad Allah answered his prayer?
It is not your religion and it is okay for you to be confused at first. Doubling down with “humanity” and “emotional intelligence” will only suggest you have other intentions.
We are glad Alhaji Taiwo Hassan Ogogo died upon Islam. We ask Allah to accept his return and give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Who gets to broadcast a sporting event? Who owns those rights? And where do athletes’ image rights fit into the picture?

I have a concerned question and I really need an answer. Why do we enjoy being stvpid?
How long are we going to keep hurting ourselves because of religion?
This particular post is to label Islam with the wrong name and it takes common sense to stop and think about it. Does this even make any sense to you?
