LIVING LIFE TO ITS BEST!

[𝐃𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐚 @Realoilsheikh]

𝐈𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟑, 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐡 𝐉𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐦 )رحمه الله) 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

He highlighted a reality many Muslims recognize, in Nigeria and around the world: we are often pushed into a constant state of defense. Accusations come one after another:

“Islam doesn’t give women rights.” “Islam is extreme.” “Islam is harsh.” And so we respond. We explain. We clarify. We defend.

But he warned that remaining perpetually on the defensive distracts us from a greater responsibility; to confidently and wisely invite others to Islam.

Islam is not defined merely as “peace,” as it is often reduced to in modern discourse. The word Islam means total submission to the will of Allah ﷻ; a complete and conscious surrender of one’s desires, actions, and life to the Creator. To say “I am Muslim” is to say: I submit fully to Allah. I do what He commands and refrain from what He forbids.

Sheikh Jafar (رحمه الله) also challenged a common narrative: the portrayal of Islam as inherently aggressive. He pointed to history — particularly the battles of Badr and Uhud — emphasizing that the early Muslim community faced persecution, expulsion, and armed pursuit. The Prophet ﷺ & his companions were forced from Makkah, migrated seeking peace, and were pursued to the outskirts of Madinah. The Battle of Badr itself took place near Madinah after hostile forces advanced toward them. His broader point was about perspective: history is often told by those who control the narrative. Yet global history is filled with devastating wars, colonization, and mass civilian casualties carried out by powerful nations — from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Algeria, Iraq, Gaza & beyond, the Christian West has killed tens of millions of innocent Muslims, either during colonization or modern day imperialism. Still, Islam is frequently singled out as uniquely violent.

Whether one agrees with every framing or not, his message was clear: Muslims should not internalize narratives that constantly place them on trial. Instead, they should understand their faith deeply, represent it with integrity, and engage the world with confidence, knowledge, and wisdom. Nearly two decades later, his words still provoke reflection.

May Allah have mercy on him and grant us clarity, balance, and steadfastness.

UNIMAID ASUU Rejects Renaming University After Buhari

[THE REALIST✨ @Gbengawhite_]

@BashirAhmaad Buhari’s son is holding back so much tears like a man should…When he’s on his own later tonight, I’m sure he’s going to break down in tears.. So much will be running through his mind as a new responsibility is now on him to take care of his mum, the wife of his late father

Nobody doubts Buhari integrity.

The fact that a man will bear his curse, his cross, and so on

And the woman can/will 'steal' the children away, then watering down years of contributions

Is devastating

If you're not generous with what you have now, you likely won't be generous if you have more in future. So give, no matter how little.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

You can be the most successful person around but if you have no humility, you won’t go far. There are many out there who strut around behaving like they own the world. It's a shame that those with less to boast about do it the most. Such is the sad state of society today.

Pray about it. Your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self-love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad people. Pray about it all.
