I am still saying it, and this is coming from someone who finds physics fascinating: medicine is way beyond anything engineering will ever accomplish.
An aircraft is a mighty feat. We designed it. A space rocket? We designed it. Electromagnetic technology, bridges, computers, all of these are incredible feats, but ultimately things we designed and built from the ground up.
Now think about medicine. Humans are opening up a body they did not design, navigating structures they did not create, knowing what to cut, what not to touch, what connects to what, where something needs to go and what carries it there and then putting the whole thing back together.
That is, and will probably forever remain, mightier to me than anything we have ever achieved as engineers.

Hadith No 4/430. Umdatul Ahkam.
(Chapter One: Book OF Purity)🧵
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“When any one of you performs ablution, let him put water into his nose and then expel it. Whoever uses stones for cleaning himself after relieving himself, let him use an odd number. And when any one of you wakes up from his sleep, let him wash his hands three times before putting them into the vessel, for none of you knows where his hand was during the night.”
In the words of Muslim:
“Let him sniff water into his nose.”
And in another wording:
“Whoever performs ablution, let him sniff water into his nose.”

Hadith No:1/430 Umdatul Ahkam.
(Chapter One: The book of purity)
On the authority of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:
‘Actions are only by intentions.’ And in another narration: ‘by intention.’
‘And every person will only have what they intended. So, whoever's migration was for Allah and His Messenger, then his migration was for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever's migration was for some worldly gain he might achieve, or a woman he might marry, then his migration was for whatever he migrated for.”

Zina takes everything from you. It is one of a few sins the Quran calls pure filth. Zina is a chain reaction, it starts with a glance, then a smile, a message, a meeting until one day your heart has already crossed the line and the body simply follows. That's why Allah didn't say don't commit zina, Allah says do not go even near it. Because the paths leading to Zina are as destructive as Zina itself.
By the time the body sins, the heart, mind, and discipline are already compromised. That's why people feel emptier after, not relieved. Something leaks out of them, focus, self respect or barakah. Zina didn't just break religious rules it kills your ability to bond deeply and slowly normalizes self betrayal.
Zina strongly activates the dopamine. It makes a normal life feel boring, work feels heavy and the focus drops. Over time, self control becomes weak. You know something is wrong, but stopping feels harder. It also creates emotional bonds in the brain. When intimacy happens without commitment, those bonds break again and again. The brain learns not to attach deeply. People start feeling emotionally numb, distant, or unable to truly connect.
When you commit Zina the body stays in a stress cycle. Sleep, energy and mood get affected. Anxiety and restlessness increases. Mentally and morally it creates an inner conflict. You act against your values. Guilt and secrecy slowly eat confidence and peace. Zina is always an exchange. You give time, focus, discipline, biology and you get distractions in return. With Zina, you don't just touch a body, you inherit a mess. Other people's chaos stick to you.
Halal intimacy does not damage a person because it happens inside safety, clarity, and responsibility. In marriage, there is no secrecy, no fear of exposure, and no inner conflict. The Quran allows intimacy only within marriage because it protects dignity and emotional stability. When a person acts in with their values, the mind stays calm instead of divided, so guilt and shame do not poison the experience.
Scientifically, halal intimacy works with the brain, not against it. Oxytocin and bonding hormones strengthen attachment instead of being broken repeatedly. This builds trust, emotional security, and long-term satisfaction rather than emotional numbness. The brain learns that intimacy is safe, stable, and meaningful, not something to chase and hide.
In today’s age of constant stimulation, casual relationships, and instant pleasure, halal intimacy protects focus and discipline. It does not drain energy or scatter attention. Instead, it supports routine, emotional balance, and personal growth. Rather than weakening self-control, it strengthens it. That is why halal intimacy adds peace and stability, while zina slowly takes them away even when it looks harmless on the surface.
I believe one of the greatest shortcomings of Nigerians, especially Northerners, is our tendency to leave everything to God while neglecting our own responsibilities.
This mindset has played a role in where we find ourselves after more than 60 years of independence.
Faith is important, but we cannot expect divine intervention while doing little or nothing to address our challenges ourselves.
The moment you start making real money, you realize something.
A lot of "successful" people were just confident people who didn't look broke while they were broke.
