A large part of the world is getting flooded but some shallow minded Nigerians think all their problems begin and end on the Lagos-Calabar coastal road.

We have a waste management crisis in Lagos. The state is becoming too dirty with piles of rubbish littering the whole place. Everywhere you go, there is a pile of rubbish on the side of the road or the median. There needs to be a template to waste disposal in the state.

The enemies of Islam are banking on th ignorance of many Muslims to distort the message of Islam or simply mislead the Muslims and turn them against Islam. I have found them distorting the Ḥadīth in the attached image, so, I present the explanation for the believers.

In many cultures of the world, slave trade was a commonly acceptable practice as it was generally acceptable by all people, including people of all faiths and traditional believers and the Atheists until it was systematically abolished. So, yes, Muslims used to own, sell and buy slaves but gradually and systemically, Islam abolished it. The abolition came in stages through commanding slave owners to treat their slaves with kindness, to promoting the emancipation of slave women who have bore a child for their masters and so on. It is to that, that this Ḥadīth speaks.

In this Ḥadīth, Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said:
“We used to sell the ‘Ummahat al-Awlad’ (mothers of children) during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr.”

The meaning of “Ummahat al-Awlad” (mothers of children) is: when a man owns a female slave, has sexual relations with her, and she gives birth to his child, she is then called “Umm Walad” (mother of a child). In the early period, it was permissible to sell her.

However, later came the prohibition against selling her, and this prohibition abrogated (naskh) the previous ruling that permitted the sale of Ummahat al-Awlad. Rather, the Umm Walad and her child become free upon the death of her master.

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) continued:
“But when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, he forbade us from doing so, and we desisted.”

The meaning is: The selling of Ummahat al-Awlad took place during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before the abrogation occurred. Then, perhaps in a specific case during the time of Abu Bakr, an Umm Walad was sold while Abu Bakr was unaware of the abrogation. Jabir thought that people still considered it permissible. But when the ruling of abrogation (prohibiting the sale of Ummahat al-Awlad) became widely known during the time of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), all the people acted according to the final ruling.

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to review and correct one another regarding some of the rulings they narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), due to differences in their levels of knowledge.
Had the Companions not been certain that the correct position was that of Umar, they would not have followed him in this matter.

Dear Muslim, please ask questions about your faith, and equip yourself with adequate knowledge of this faith so that Shaytan and his cronies will not mislead you.

Why is it that some Christians like to cook up lies against Islam and use it to promote hatred against the faith as a way of promoting their own religion? Why?

Islam views women as full human beings, equal in spiritual worth, dignity, and ultimate accountability before Allah, while recognizing natural differences in roles, responsibilities, and rights in certain areas of life. Here are the clearest, most balanced principles from the Qurʾān and authentic Sunnah:

1. Equal spiritual value and reward: “Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while being a believer, We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward according to the best of what they used to do.” (Qurʾān 16:97).
Men and women are judged by the same standard: taqwā (God-consciousness). Paradise is not male-only; in fact, many narrations say most of its inhabitants will be righteous women.

2. Equal intellectual and moral capacity: The Prophet (ṣallāLlāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “Women are the twin halves of men” (shaqāʾiq al-rijāl) – Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd.
Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim, male and female. The first university in recorded history (al-Qarawiyyīn in Fez) was founded by a Muslim woman, Fāṭimah al-Fihrī, in 859 CE.

3. Protection, honour, and financial independence: A woman keeps her own wealth forever (marriage does not transfer it to her husband). She has the absolute right to own property, run businesses, inherit, and invest, rights European women only gained in the late 19th century.
Men are assigned the duty of provision (nafaqah), even if the wife is richer. This is not “superiority”; it is responsibility and service to the family.

4. Consent and choice in marriage: “A previously unmarried woman cannot be married until her consent has been sought, and a previously married woman cannot be married until she is consulted.” (Bukhārī, Muslim). Forced marriage is invalid and sinful.

5. Dress and modesty apply to both genders: The Qurʾān first commands men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts (24: 30), then tells women to do the same and draw their coverings (24: 31). Modesty is a shared value; the ḥijāb/khimār is the female expression of it.

6. Leadership and public life: Women led businesses (Khadījah), fought in battles when needed (Nusaybah bint Kaʿb), taught hadith and fiqh (ʿĀʾishah, Hafṣah), and gave bayʿah (pledge) directly to the Prophet (ṣallāLlāhu 'alayhi wa sallam). There is no blanket prohibition on women being judges, scholars, doctors, entrepreneurs, or political leaders, differences of opinion exist only on the head-of-state role.

7. Kindness and elevated status: The Prophet (ṣallāLlāhu 'alayhi wa sallam).repeatedly said: “The best of you are those who are best to their women.” (Tirmidhī). Paradise lies at the feet of mothers (a famous hadith in Nasāʾī and others). He stood up in respect when his daughter Fāṭimah entered the room.

8. Corrections of pre-Islamic oppression: Islam ended female infanticide, gave women inheritance rights, limited polygamy with strict justice conditions, and made marital kindness an act of worship.

In short: Islam honours women as partners in building civilization, not subordinates. Any abuse, forced marriage, honour killings, or denial of education done “in the name of Islam” is a betrayal of the Qurʾān and Sunnah, not a reflection of them.

The Prophet (ṣallāLlāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) summed it up in his Farewell Sermon:
“Treat women well, for they are with you like captives (in your care)—you have rights over them, and they have rights over you.”

May Allah guide us all to treat every woman, mother, daughter, sister, wife, with the dignity He has given her.

Should we talk about what Christianity teaches about women?
Do Christians really care to know what their own faith says about women and how it treated women in all of their history?

A Cry for Help from Zamfara. Today, a heartbroken brother reached out to me, his voice filled with pain and helplessness. He said, “Please, help me post this… maybe someone will see it and save my sister’s life.” 😢💔

His younger sister has been fighting a severe illness for nearly five years. Five long years of pain, struggle, and tears and yet, they haven’t given up hope.

We are now calling on His Excellency, the Governor of Zamfara State, @daudalawal_ and Her Excellency, Huriya, Mother of Orphans and the Vulnerable, to please look into this case with compassion and help this innocent young girl get the medical care she desperately needs.

This is not about politics, it’s about humanity. It’s about a life that can still be saved. It’s about mercy. ❤️

Please, let’s make sure this message reaches the Governor and the First Lady.

May Allah reward every hand that shares this post and touch the hearts of our leaders to respond. 🤲🏽
