Stop saying, “May Allah guide you.”
Guide me to what exactly? 🤔
-To face Mecca before I can pray?
-To learn Arabic before I can pray or read the Quran?
-To keep ticking off a daily checklist just to know if I’m doing enough?
-To live my whole life unsure of where I’m spending eternity?
-To believe I’ll first go to hell before eventually being brought out?
-To wash up before I can even talk to God?
-To keep bending, standing, bending like aerobics just to pray?
-To turn prayer into a daily checklist and still never know if I’ve done enough?
-To follow a man who wasn’t even sure of his own fate?
-To start defending a prophet marrying a 6-year-old and consummating at 9… with a straight face?
-To twist my brain and claim Jesus was a Muslim?
No, thank you. I’m okay with my Jesus. His yoke is easy.
I don’t need to face a particular direction before I pray.
I don’t need to learn a new language to talk to Him or read His Word.
I don’t need to perform a ritual washing before I can approach Him.
I don’t need a daily checklist to measure my standing with God.
He said “Come in spirit and in truth.”
What matters most to Him is the condition of my heart and the sincerity of my motives, not how perfectly I perform a list of rituals.
In public schools in sokoto where I served, everyone whether christian or Muslim wore hijab. And it was public school oo not private or faith based.
Muslims only demand inclusion when they are the minority. They are typically not open and tolerant when they are the majority.
Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
Imagine being a country that treats women as a lesser being and was born lucky enough to have father like this. She hit the jackpot because even in countries where women have rights and power you can rarely find father's that will go above and beyond like this.
No matter how much potential you have, if you don’t fully lock in and take charge of your life, you’ll eventually end up as the guy who had potential but nothing to show for it.
