This is River Niger, the 14th longest river in the world and the third longest in Africa, after the Nile and Congo rivers. It flows through Guinea, Mali, Niger, along the border with Benin and into Nigeria, where it empties into the Gulf of Guinea through the famous Niger Delta.
You say “Eid al-Fitr”…
but do you know what you’re really saying?
Most people think it means “the feast of breaking the fast.”
Today, the imam said something I’ll never stop thinking about
Musa didn’t know Allah was going to split the Red Sea for him.
He just knew that Allah wasn’t going to abandon him.
Honour الله everywhere you go, and indeed الله will honour you.
*من علامات صحة القلب: أن لا يفتر عن ذكر ربه، ولا يسأم من خدمته، ولا يأنس بغيره؛ إلا بمن يدله عليه، ويذكره به، ويذاكره بهذا الأمر.*
(ابن القيم/ إغاثة اللهفان)
The Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, the supreme law that defines the powers of leaders and the rights of citizens. Those in positions of authority should understand that and uphold the very laws that grant them the power to govern. It is well provided in our Constitution that it is the right of Muslims to establish Shari’a courts for matters concerning personal law. This right is not limited to the northern part of the country but extends to any region, including the West, East, and any other parts of this country.
The establishment of Shari’a courts is a matter of religious freedom and legal recognition, both of which are protected under the Constitution.
The recent opposition by some governors particularly in the South West to the setting up of Shari’a panels should raise questions about their understanding of constitutional provisions. It is important to note that the same Constitution that grants them the authority to lead also guarantees Muslims the right to establish Shari’a courts to adjudicate over our personal affairs such as marriage, inheritance, and contracts. Denying this right contradicts the very principles of democracy, fairness, and the rule of law.
People should know that the Shari’a court system does not impose its jurisdiction on non-Muslims; rather, it serves as a legal framework for Muslims who voluntarily seek its adjudication. In several northern states, Shari’a courts have functioned within the legal system, coexisting with the common law courts.
We must recognize that governance is about upholding the law, not bending it to suit personal or political interests. If they claim to respect the Constitution, then they must acknowledge and protect the rights of all Nigerians, including the Muslim population seeking Shari’a panels.
Leaders must also govern with knowledge, fairness, and respect for the rights of all citizens. Anything less is an affront to democracy and justice.
