The people of Jannah, Iโm back again, asking for your kindness.
Behind every fundraiser is a human being carrying a burden that has become too heavy to bear alone.
A single mother who is doing everything she can to provide for her children. She is just N90,000 away from completing her fundraiser.
A young lady who is about to lose the only roof over her head and can barely afford her next meal.
Amount needed: N100,000.
A student whose certificate has been withheld because of an outstanding N3 million debt, and a mother battling a chronic illness with no source of income, desperately trying to stay alive.
Weโve reached out, weโve contributed, weโve shared, but it still isnโt enough.
Please donโt scroll past them. Today, you may be the answer to someoneโs duโa. What feels small to you could be the difference between despair and relief for someone else.
No amount is too little. If you canโt donate, please share. May Allah ease your affairs just as you ease someone elseโs, multiply your provision, and make your kindness heavy on your scale of good deeds. Ameen.

He hails from Dan Awo village in Kankara LGA, Katsina State, and mentioned having siblings named Nura, Shafa and Farida.
Anyone with information or who recognizes the family is urged to contact: 08032398985.
MOB JUSTICE CLAIMS THE LIFE OF ISLAMIC TEACHER IN JOS
Malama Ummulkhairi, a respected Islamic teacher and mother of more than five children, left her home in Maraban Jos to attend a religious lecture by respected Islamic scholars, including Malam Umar Wali. The event was scheduled to take place at Madrasatul Tashiyhul Iman, a school associated with Malama Mardiyya. After becoming separated from her companions and asking for directions to the venue, Ummulkhairi approached some children and asked for directions. Moments later, a group of women allegedly accused her of attempting to kidnap children.
She was taken to a police station, where family representatives and community leaders testified that she was a well-known teacher and that there was no evidence against her. Despite this, an angry mob gathered outside. Appeals for calm and due process were ignored.
In broad daylight, near the police station, she was brutally killed and burned alive. A motorcycle belonging to one of the scholars pleading for her safety was also set ablaze.
Today, her children are without their mother. Her husband left home with a healthy wife and returned only to witness the aftermath of unimaginable violence.
This tragedy raises painful questions: How many innocent people must die before we reject mob justice? When accusations become death sentences and evidence no longer matters, nobody is safe.
Jungle justice does not fight crime, it only destroys innocent lives, weakens the rule of law and fuels insecurity. If we continue down this path, we will not defeat crime; we will only create a society ruled by fear, suspicion, and violence.
May Almighty Allah forgive Malama Ummulkhairi, accept her among the righteous and grant her family the strength to bear this devastating loss.
Today I want to lend my voice to the cause of seeking justice for the daughter of a Sister on here, Nusayba Rabiu Danshariff.
Nihal was allegedly killed as a result of being severely punished and bullied in school.
Until her painful demise, Nihal was a JSS2 student of St Louis boarding school Kano.
The negligence of the school authority and attempt to twist the narrative should be investigated by kano state govt under his excellency @Kyusufabba
The pain and sorrow this family has been thrown into should not go in vain.
We seek #Justice4Nihal

A place that serves as a recreational center, which has accommodated the whole of Abuja, is about to be shut down due to the selfish interests of politicians. They sold it to a real estate company. So sad to see.
Now, the beautiful Jabi lake will be surrounded with residebtail houses.. No room for recreation, sightseeing, or fun activities anymore.

This is our Tree Planting Campaign 2026, in shaa Allah.
In 2024, by the mercy of Allah, we planted over 2,000 seedlings across northern Nigeria. This year, we are hoping to do more. Our intention is to plant 4,000 seedlings across six states, bi idhnillah.
We do not have a fixed fundraising target. We are simply asking Allah to allow us raise enough to reach this goal. No amount is too small. No amount is insignificant. What matters is sincerity and the intention behind it.
As we all know, planting trees is among the most beautiful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. A tree that provides shade, a tree that feeds a person, an animal, or even a bird is a continuous charity for the one who planted it.
At the same time, we cannot ignore the effects of deforestation in our communities. The heat is harsher. The land is weaker. Our environment is changing in ways that affect our daily lives. This is a small effort to restore balance, to give back to the earth, and to leave behind something beneficial.
If Allah places it in your heart to give, then give. And if you are unable, then share this and make dua for us.
May Allah accept it from us, make it a source of lasting ุงูุฎูุฑ, and allow it to weigh heavily on our scales on the Day we meet Him.
Barakallahu feekum.

I'll do a little thread on this.
This matter is not one which there's Consensus of the Scholars upon, Let's Dissect. (Knowledge ain't from Me, but IslamQA. Me I be Olodo)
A Thread!
Let me share one parenting tip with you. This one is about how you can build your child's social intelligence. The ability to read what is not being said out loud.
In the psychology of Ibn Sina, this is called Al-Wahm. It is the power of Estimation. It is the faculty that picks up on meanings that do not have a physical shape.
Think about it like this. We all know a sheep right? And we all know a wolf? Now, letโs think about a sheep looking at a wolf. The eyes see a gray shape with four legs and fur. That is just physical data. But the mind of the sheep knows the wolf is hateful and dangerous right away. That sense of danger is not something the eyes can see. It is a meaning picked up by the Wahm.
When you reflect on our discussion of the 7-7-7 rule, scholars say the best time to practice it is during the second stage of development, around ages 7 to 12. However, it could come earlier because some children have naturally wide mental vessels. This is the sweet spot where the brain starts to handle ideas that are not right in front of them.
Here is how you can help your child build their Wahm.
1. Engage them in mental estimation. What do I mean? For example, when you are out at a mall, a park, or anywhere, pick a stranger standing far away. Do not let your child talk about their clothes or what they are carrying.
Ask them to look at the person and tell you if they think that person is waiting for someone they love or if they are just bored and want to go home. This forces the child to stop leaning on the physical data of the eyes and start using their internal senses to hunt for intentions.
2. Learn always to remove the label. What do I mean here? Letโs say you see someone who is clearly upset, do not just say that person is angry. Ask your child what they think the weight on that personโs heart is at that moment.
You could also ask what they thought about the personโs reaction or behavior. By calling it a weight or a meaning, you are giving the Wahm a job to do.
One of your goals as a parent is to build a child who can read a room before they even speak. This is the root of real leadership. It is about not being fooled by the outward form because the internal sense is already looking for the truth.
How often do you find yourself explaining the why behind people's actions instead of allowing your child to search for the motive? Less Discuss in the comments๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ

Dear Parents,
Let me share a secret with you. I pray it benefits you.
After my post on the anatomical psychology of a child yesterday, I received some questions about how to help children who struggle to focus on their studies and what parents can do to help them. If your child or your children is struggling academically, or lose focus easily, then this post is for you.
What you are likely seeing is a child who starts a task but wanders off. You might see them staring at a book for an hour without remembering a single line. It is easy to think they are being lazy, but what you ought to see is a mind where the internal powers are not connected.
The Almighty God in the Quran mentions the Nasiyah in Surah Al-Alaq (96:15) as the place of decision and control. Science has shown this to be the prefrontal cortex, the part behind the forehead.
In Kitab al-Shifa, Ibn Sina identified a power box called Al-Quwwah al-Mutakhayyilah (the Composative Imagination). This power is the pilot of the brain. Its job is to take information and turn it into focused thought. When focus is gone, the bridge is broken.
To help them overcome this problem, you can use a mental drill called Reverse Narrating (RN). Reverse Narrating is a modern concept, but, it has root in our religion too.
The principle behind RN is deeply anchored in the works of Abu Zayd al-Balkhi. He is considered the father of Islamic psychology. In his book Masalih al-Abdan wa al-Anfus (Sustenance of the Soul), he talked about Riyadat al-Nafs (disciplining the mind). He taught that the mind needs specific "mental rehearsals" to regain control over wandering thoughts.
This mental rehearsals through reverse narrating is what you should adopt going forward because it forces the brain to reorganize information in a way that is not natural.
Here is how you can do it:
1.Ask your child what they are doing right this moment (when you call them).
2.Ask them what they did ten minutes before that.
3.Keep asking what happened before each step, moving backward through the day.
4.Continue until they reach the moment they woke up in the morning.
Do you know what you have done? You have just forced the Mutakhayyilah of your child to work in overdrive to pull data from the memory and flip it.
What this does is that It strengthens the pilot seat in their forehead. If you do this for a few minutes every evening, you would be building the mental glue your child needs to stay on a task. This is how struggling children improve their mental power and succeed in their studies. GIVE IT A TRY.
Allah knows best.
Since the past 24 hours that I made the tweet on child parenting solution, my DM has been buzzing. I checked them, and one thing was quite common to all: Parents who are not happy about their kidโs performance in school, and they have approached it the wrong way.
If you fall in this category, this post is for you.
Many of us use brutal force because expectations are too high, and the anger is just too much. The scholar Ibn al-Jawzi explained in his book Sayd al-Khatir that intellect is a Rizq (provision) from God, just like money or health.
He said some people are born with a wide vessel and others with a narrow one. If you try to force the water of a whole sea into a small cup, you will only spill the water and ruin the cup. This is what many of us are doing. We are trying to force a "doctor's brain" into a child whose cup was designed for something else.
By that, it causes a soul-crushing resentment in the child. Imam Al-Ghazali described this beautifully in Ihyaโ Ulum al-Din. He warned parents about a state called โAl-Malalโ, where a child builds resentment because they are pushed beyond their limit. Everyone wants the best for their child. No doubt. However, if you keep yelling at them for things they cannot grasp yet, you make them hate the very sight of a book. You are closing the door to their heart while trying to kick open the door to their mind.
Then what is the solution? It is simple.
Going forward, every parent should make efforts to start looking for the Fath (the opening) in their kids. What does this mean? This is the lane the Almighty has prepared for them. In our history, if a child is slow with grammar or math, the scholars donโt call them a failure. They move them to a trade, a craft or a service.
How then do you identify this Fath (Opening) in your child? Please pay close attention to meโฆ
(1) The first phase is Observation. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a concept called Istidโad (natural readiness) in his book titled: Tuhfat al-Mawdud. This means you want to watch/observe/look at the child when they think nobody is looking. This is your first tool. For the next two weeks, stop talking about school. Do not worry yourself about how they perform on their homework.
Instead, keep a "Strength Log." Every evening, write down one thing they did well that had nothing to do with a classroom. Did they fix a broken toy? Did they calm down a crying sibling? Did they organise their shoes? You are looking for their Istidโad (natural readiness). If they are "book-slow" but "people-smart" or "hand-smart," that is where the key has been placed.
(2) Introduce โProject or Craftโ early on. Ibn Khaldun, in his Muqaddimah, argued that projects/crafts are high forms of intelligence that build civilizations. He argued that some minds are designed to understand the physical world better than the abstract one.
Give them a "Project Day." Buy a basic tool kit, a sewing machine, or a coding starter kit. Give them a broken radio or a piece of furniture to fix. Delegate. Give them a real-world task that has a visible result. When a child who fails at math sees that they can build a table or bake a perfect loaf of bread, their internal shame starts to heal. They realize they are not stupid; they were just in the wrong room.
(3) Kill the Comparison Virus. Imam Al-Zarnuji, in his classic work Taโlim al-Mutaโallim, explained that a student should only study what fits their nature. He said that forcing a student into a field they have no taste for is a waste of their life and the teacher's time. When you compare your child to others, you are catching a virus that blinds you to their path. Always filter.
When family members start bragging about their kids' grades, you must be the shield. Tell them, "My child is mastering the art of (so so and so)." You are teaching your child that success is not a single ladder. There are many ladders to it. And if you do not value their ladder, they will stop climbing.
(4) Prioritize Character Building. Put more efforts to praise your kids for their good character. Always tell them you love them when they behave well or show good character. Character recognition helps the child build a good self-image, which translates into self-confidence and barrier-breaking for the child. Prioritise this.
(5) Donโt underestimate the power of your words. Always pray to God to grant them their opening. The scholars taught that the "opening" is a gift from Al-Fattah (The Opener). Supplicate.
In your Sujud or in your prayers, stop asking for them to be a doctor/engineer, and what have you. Ask for the door that was made for them to be opened. Ask Him to show you the Fath so you can stop pushing them against a closed wall.
Always remember, a parent who finds the "Fath (The Opening)" for their child has given them a gift better than a degree. You have given them a purpose. Start that journey NOW. Itโs never too lateโฆ
Thank you for your attention.
Allah knows best.
Dear Parents,
I want to share one parenting secret with you. The one you wonโt find in your regular blogs. And trust me, regardless of your faith, you will find this tip beneficial.
I want to explain why some kids become completely stubborn the more you punish them. I am doing this because I got some messages yesterday from people who have kids in the diaspora and how their kids have become stone-hearted to their parentsโ warnings. It is indeed painful.
Remember that I mentioned the monumental book of Imam Al-Ghazali, Ihyaโ Ulum al-Din. We have more things to learn from it.
In this book, he talked about a fragile part of a child's mind called the โVeil of Shame.โ Note: Every child has this because they are born upon Fitrah (purity of the soul).
When a child does something bad for the first time, they usually try to hide it. They are afraid of being caught because they still value their dignity in your eyes.
The scholars explained that if a parent exposes the child, screams, yells at them, and punishes every mistake, you are tearing down their veil of shame.
Once a child realizes you already see them as a bad person, the humiliation has happened. They stop caring. You have destroyed their internal brakes. When they have no dignity left to protect, they will start doing those bad things openly and boldly.
How do you notice this in your child?
You can tell this is happening in your child when they stop trying to hide their mistakes and start becoming brazen or "strong-headed" when caught. This is a sign that the veil is thinning.
To fix this, you need to use a concept called Taghaful. It translates to intentional ignorance or pretending you did not see a fault.
Our Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us this. He did this with a young companion called Usama bin Zaid. But I see that our parents, due to their high expectations, are often too impatient to look away.
If you catch your child doing a hidden wrong, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pretend you did not see it. Do not confront them and strip them of their respect.
Instead, bring up the topic later in a general conversation. Tell a story about why that action is destructive, without looking at them or accusing them. Let their own conscience do the punishing. Let them repent and fix it in secret.
A parent who hunts down every small mistake will end up raising a child who has no shame left to lose.
Let me know if you want more of these scholarly parenting tips. I will be willing to share. My DM is full with different issues. I cannot answer everything, but I am sure with these tips, a lot of those issues will be solved by Godโs grace.
Thank you for your attention.
Allah knows best.
Wa Alaikumus Salam wa Rahmatul Laah wa Barakaatuh!
@el_bonga On the question you forwarded to me!
If someone kills an animal that doesn't belong to him and he doesn't know the owner, the majority of scholars agree that the person must pay compensation (known as Gharaama in Arabic) for the animal. The expiation typically involves paying the value of the animal to the owner if found; if not, like in the case of the questioner, the value goes to the relevant community or is given in charity.
In addition, other scholars suggest that the killer should also repent if there was negligence on his part, as innocent animal are not to be killed unjustly. For specific guidance, prominent scholars like Ibn Qudaamah in Al-Mughni: Volume 9, Pages 95-101, among others, emphasise paying compensation based on the animal's value to the owner, or donating the value in charity to a community project, the poor or the needy, if the owner is not known to you.
Indeed, Allah is the All-Knowing.
Letโs talk about cousins.
I want to start by saying this plainly: your cousins are not your mahrams.
And the reason Iโm emphasizing this is because I saw an influencer recently doing a Q&A, and someone said, โJust because Iโm close to my cousin doesnโt mean
Dear @SaudiEmbassy verify the religion of visa applicants from Nigeria before granting them approval.
Many non-Muslims in Nigeria are masquerading as Muslims just to go to Makkah and Madinah for fun and tourism.
The vetting process for Nigerian Visas should include a test on Qurโanic recitation and random background search on social media profiles.
if you can support, please do with whatever you have. If you donโt have, please share to go wider. Itโs painful. May the Almighty grant him his mercy and comfort this woman.
