The death of Masussuka has unfolded a lot of things, and as I said in one of my previous write ups, that many Muslims (including those that are intellectuals in some fields within the conventional knowledge) lack proper understanding of the Deen, and how evidence is established in Islam. A lot of people think that some of the Islamic scholars just woke up and began to write books, and that's why they question anything written in those books.

I saw many people on this app questioning, or rejecting ahadeeth in Sahihul Bukhari and Muslim just because they were born hundreds of years after the departure of the prophet ﷺ 😂😂. This sounds funny to anyone who has knowledge on "Science of Hadith (مصللح الحديث)", but then it shows how big the need for proper Islamic knowledge is amongst our fellow Muslim brethren.

I want to refer to a beautiful write up by sheikh @Taabreez which has done justice to how we should approach Islamic discourse and how hadith scholarship works. They are very long, but trust me, you will enjoy every bit of it.

I am genuinely shocked by how many people I once thought had reverence for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ display such profound ignorance of Islam.

Imagine claiming to practise Islam while deliberately rejecting the explanations of the very Messenger ﷺ to whom the Qur’an was revealed!

The Sahabah lived with the Prophet ﷺ. They witnessed his actions, heard his explanations of the Qur’an, learned how he practised the Deen, and transmitted his teachings to subsequent generations.

Yet, 1,400 years later, some people arrogantly assume they can bypass the understanding of the Messenger ﷺ and his Companions and interpret the Qur’an according to their own whims.

This is NOT a contest between the Qur’an and Hadith, as some dishonestly portray it. The real question is: Who has the authority to explain the Qur’an—the Messenger ﷺ to whom it was revealed, or individuals who came centuries later and may lack even a sound understanding of the Arabic language in which it was revealed?

The Qur’an itself establishes the Messenger’s role in explaining its revelation (Qur’an 16:44). His Sunnah is not a rival to the Qur’an; it is an indispensable guide to understanding & practising it.

True intellectualism is not about pretending to be independent of the Prophet’s guidance. It is about having the humility to study this Deen properly, understand the Qur’an in light of the authentic Sunnah, and appreciate the understanding of the Sahabah who learned directly from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

My advice is simple: Go back and study Islam before attempting to redefine it.

Ignorance masquerading as intellectualism is neither scholarship nor enlightenment. It is simply ignorance dressed up in arrogance.

Abba Dahiru Mangal
A servant ready to represent Katsina Central

Abba Dahiru Mangal is a son of Katsina who believes leadership is about service, not status.

He has had the opportunity to work closely with leaders at the national level, where he learned how government decisions affect ordinary people—farmers, traders, students, and workers. These experiences taught him one important lesson: policies only matter when they improve real lives.

He studied Law and graduated with strong academic results, not for titles, but to better understand how to defend the rights of the people and speak for them where it matters most.

Beyond government, Abba has been involved in business and community development. He understands the struggles of:

- Young people looking for jobs
- Small business owners trying to grow
- Families dealing with rising costs of living

He believes Katsina deserves:

- More opportunities for youth employment
- Support for small businesses and local traders
- Better access to education and basic services
- Honest representation that listens and responds

Abba is not coming with promises of perfection. He is coming with a willingness to listen, to learn, and to work.

He believes leadership is not about who speaks the loudest, but who serves the people best.

With your support, he hopes to represent Katsina Central with humility, fairness, and dedication—putting the needs of the people first, always.

Together, we can build a better future—step by step.

“Barrister, let me tell you something…

A few days ago, my mother called and asked me to help an elderly woman who needed surgery. They needed ₦80,000. I told her things were tight, but she insisted I should handle everything.

I said, ‘Umma, please, let me send ₦10,000 for now,’ but she refused. She said I should pay it all.

Honestly, I had the money at that time, but I had responsibilities. If I gave out ₦80,000, I didn’t know how we would survive. Still, she told me, ‘Allah will repay you.’

My heart became heavy, but I asked for the surgery date. She said it was on the 13th of Ramadan. When the day came, I sent the full ₦80,000.

Wallahi, after sending it, I had nothing left. I didn’t even know how my family would eat till Sallah. I have three children, and there was no talk of Sallah clothes.

Then something happened…

On the 20th of Ramadan, just 7 days later, my boss called me to Abuja for a job. A land deal for his company.

The next day, the transaction was completed… in billions.

Barrister, I walked away with ₦25 million.

Even my boss told me I might be relieved of my duties after Sallah.

The only thing on my mind was what my mother said: ‘Allah will repay you.’

I cried. I’ve never had ₦5 million at once in my life… talk less of ₦25 million.

After Sallah, I’m heading to Ka’abah for Umrah to show gratitude.”

I did the math…

₦80,000 turned into ₦25,000,000.

That’s over 300x.

Obey your parents.

One of our major problems in the North is our poor mindset in wealth creation and bad business sustainability culture.

We collect loans with intention of not paying back and we avoid loans or grants with stringent conditions because we mostly want things on a platter.

What @CaptJamyl and his team are doing is simply a venture capital with seed funding from well-meaning Nigerians.

Anybody that condemns it doesn’t understand the concept of development financing and overall context of development and prosperity.

And anybody that can not present a proper proposal and work plan on how he/she intends to invest the money, does not deserve to be funded.

Success is not one-sided, it occurs ONLY when luck meets preparedness.

Kudos to all hands involved, Insha Allah I will personally contribute money and also contribute to the technical team with credit appraisal.

@OfficialDSSNG: Criticizing any government's policies or its leaders is part of the right to freedom of expression which is protected under the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] and international human rights treaties including the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights to which the country is a state party.

You’ve been lied to. The Muslims don’t hate you, they hate injustice.

[Daniel Regha @DanielRegha]

Just a reminder that the NYSC corper reportedly k'lled despite a N10m ransom was most likely a Muslim. He said, and I quote:

"For the sake of Allah, please help me. For the sake of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), please help me. Please help my life."

He still wasn't spared cos he identified as a Muslim or gave such impression.

If u think these terrorists pick victims based on religious preference, I am sorry for u.

[Daniel Regha @DanielRegha]

Muslims are not forcing anyone to convert forcefully in this country to the best of my knowledge, nor is it mandatory to bow down before Allah.

Again, bandits chant the "Allahu Akbar" before and after k'lling or attacking their victims, regardless of who and where the incident took place. We have seen Mosques get attacked repeatedly with Muslim faithfuls unfortunately k'lled, even during the month of fasting. We have seen army base attacked especially in the North, where some soliders may also be Muslims. We have seen abducted victims dress and speak in ways that identify them as Muslims, and still ended up being victims, just like Christians, no one has been spared based on religious preference or region. So why are we still making this about religion?

Now let me ask this, the people who claim to be Christians that have k'lled, and the supposed Men of God across all doctrines who have commited all sorts of atrocities while preaching about Jesus, do they represent Christianity? No, we denounce them. So why do we draw the line when it comes to other regions?

We can agree and disagree on a lot of things that needs to change, and must condemn extremism by every means, but let's not worsen the problem.

[IMAM-MALIK 👳🏿‍♂️ @Imammaleek0]

Sometimes, I honestly don’t like responding to videos like this. I prefer to stay quiet. But when I think about how easily people can be misled, I feel it’s important to speak.

It’s surprising to see a musician asking such questions about Malam. This is part of the problem we have in this country. When people who have knowledge decide to keep quiet even though they have something meaningful to say, it creates space for ignorance to grow. And when ignorance grows, it spreads fast.

If you don’t tell your own story while you’re alive and present, someone else will tell it for you and they may not tell it the right way. They can twist the narrative, spread false information, and people who don’t truly know you may believe it.

The issue being discussed about Malam is not about him wanting to become the Imam of the Central Mosque or the leader of any religious organization. The conversation is about leadership. And whether you like him or not, many people in this country know that he delivered during his time as Minister of Communication and Digital Economy. In fact, his performance was so visible that today many people don’t even know who the current minister is.

Nigeria’s biggest challenge is insecurity. We all know that. Malam was not the Minister of Defense, yet the efforts he made in his sector were significant. There were several incidents even cases raised here on Twitter, including matters involving ABU Zaria students in Abuja where he made serious efforts.

Because of insecurity, steps were taken to tighten SIM card registration to reduce criminal misuse. Those were not small decisions, they were part of broader efforts to protect lives.

Sometimes I wonder, have we forgotten so quickly? Or are some people just speaking without understanding the facts? The sector he managed generated record-breaking revenue and achievements that had never been seen before, and some were not even fully highlighted.

How many ministers have you seen respond directly to citizens online, especially on Twitter? Malam did. He engaged with people. Yet some individuals still choose to spread falsehoods just to damage his image.

If Malam decides not to step forward again, who else do we have that can bring that level of impact? At the very least, he showed that a leader with strong religious values can serve without betraying the trust of the people.
