رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
“Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqir.”
"My Lord, truly I am in desperate need of whatever good You may send down to me."
This is the exact crying out of Prophet Musa AS when he was displaced, exhausted, and alone in Madyan. Right after he made this Du'a, Allah provided him with safety, employment, and a righteous marriage.
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
“Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a’yun waj’alna lil muttaqina imama.”
”Our Lord, grant us from among our wives/husbands and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous."
Don't just ask for a spouse. Ask for Qurrat 'Ayun, a partner so deep, so sincere, that looking at them brings instant peace to your soul amidst the chaos of the world.
I really felt for Neymar Jr, seeing him leave the bench to step onto the pitch, looking almost like a charity case among kids who once saw him as the archetype of footballing genius. It was a reminder that, no matter your talent and privilege, life remains a game of luck.
Aside from the fact that he emerged in the era of two footballing behemoths, Neymar lacked something they had: luck. To play this game without suffering injuries is not a matter of wisdom or ability. This is exactly what happened to Ronaldo Nazário too, having his potential diminished by a stroke of fate beyond his control.
A friend once told me an interesting story, and that it was what made him embrace God without further doubt. During his undergraduate days, he always bragged he was going to graduate top of his class. He was near-genius. So whenever people wished him luck before exams, he dismissed it and reminded them that he did not need luck, believing his intelligence was enough.
Then, one semester, close to the exam period, he fell ill. He struggled to read while taking medication, and ended up performing far below his target. He had a C in a particular module, the first of his schooling life. It humbled him instantly, and that became his turning point, the moment he accepted that, in life, half of what comes our way is sheer luck. The other half is simply our struggle to be in the right place at the right time.
Allah Ya saka maka da alkhayri. Wannan sakon yana da muhimmanci matuka .
Na tuna bayan dawowar mu Najeriya, yara na basu iya yar da ledar biskit idan sun ci.
Allah Ya sa a gyara.
This world is temporary. You’re on a journey. You’ve not reached your final destination yet. An eternal abode awaits. The Hereafter. So quit stressing over everything that happens. Nothing lasts. Let the Almighty take over after you’ve done your best.

Engr. Nji'e has worked extensively in the Oil Industry for over thirty (30) years with a 4-year stint of Otis Engineering Corporation, Dallas; 5 years with SEDCO (a Drilling/Pipeline Company) as Project Engineer/Project Development Manager; and Texaco Overseas (Nigeria) Petroleum Company Ltd. for over 20 years as a Technical adviser, Executive Director and Assistant Managing Director/Member Board of Directors, Chairman Niya Holdings Nigeria Ltd. and also a member of the Board of Directors of various organisations.
May Allãh have mercy on his soul and pardon his sins.
I will be bringing videos of this woman very often on twitter, particularly to the woke ladies roaming this street. Your Jannah lies underneath the feet of your husband. Even your prayers are waste in God’s eyes when you don’t value and respect his aspects.
Be guided!
Why isn’t anyone talking about this?
🇳🇬 Nigeria’s Abdurraheem Almufti Yelwa has won the prestigious Holy Qur’an Recitation Competition at Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia.
A remarkable achievement that has placed Nigeria on the global stage and deserves far more recognition.
Congratulations to him and his family. May Allah increase him in knowledge, wisdom, and barakah. 🤲
Masha Allah, this is a win worth celebrating. ✨
Ga wata nasiha mai ratsa jiki gare ni da ku baki ɗaya. Na tabbata yawancinmu ba mu ɗauke shi a matsayin laifi ba amma laifi ne babba.
Allah ta ba mu ikon kiyayewa. Kuma ka yafe mana wanda muka yi a baya. Amin
The best way to prepare for tomorrow is:
• Pray today
• Repent today
• Give charity today
• Read Qur’an today
• Thank Allah today
Tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Some of the strongest people are those who:
• Hide their pain
• Continue making du’a
• Stay patient in trials
• Forgive those who hurt them
• Keep trusting Allah
Strength isn’t always visible.
Tinubu approves renaming and revitalisation of the Institute of Petroleum Studies, Kaduna, as the General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua University of Geological Sciences and Engineering Technology.
This is for his contributions to "modern democratic Nigeria".

Things that can never truly satisfy the heart:
• Wealth without gratitude
• Fame without purpose
• Success without faith
• Pleasure without limits
• Life without Allah
The soul was created for something greater.
