Theme: The Continuous Struggle Against the Lower Self and the Need for Allah's Mercy

{۞ وَمَاۤ أُبَرِّئُ نَفۡسِیۤۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفۡسَ لَأَمَّارَةُۢ بِٱلسُّوۤءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّیۤۚ إِنَّ رَبِّی غَفُورࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ}

"And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful".

LESSONS:
1. No one should assume they are beyond temptation.
This verse teaches profound humility. No matter how knowledgeable, pious, or righteous a person may appear, the nafs (lower self) constantly inclines toward wrongdoing unless Allah grants His mercy. A believer therefore remains vigilant and never becomes arrogant about their righteousness.

2. Spiritual struggle is a lifelong responsibility.
The greatest battle is often against one's own desires, impulses, and ego. Through prayer, fasting, remembrance of Allah, sincere repentance, and good companionship, the believer disciplines the soul and gradually draws it closer to Allah.

3. Success in righteousness depends on Allah's mercy.
Human effort is essential, but it is never sufficient by itself. Every act of obedience, every victory over temptation, and every moment of steadfastness is ultimately a blessing from Allah. This should increase our gratitude and reliance upon Him.

4. Repentance should always remain open.
The verse concludes by reminding us that Allah is Al-Ghafūr (The Most Forgiving) and Ar-Raḥīm (The Most Merciful). Even when we stumble because of the weaknesses of our souls, we should never despair. Sincere repentance is always welcomed by Allah.

5. Self-accountability is a sign of true faith.
Rather than blaming others or constantly justifying our actions, believers should regularly examine themselves, acknowledge their shortcomings, and strive for continuous moral and spiritual improvement. Honest self-criticism is a path to purification.

O Allah, purify our souls, refine them, and help us strive against their evil inclinations. Do not leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye. Forgive us, have mercy upon us, for You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. Āmīn.

Niqabis keep winning these days masha Allah

[Maryam Shuiabu Aliyu @Cyberhijabitech]

As a niqabi there's 80 - 90 percent chance of you not getting job or gigs online.

It has happens to me because my first ever gig was cancelled because of my niqab.

To be sincere I was devastated because I thought why could my niqab be an issue.

I decide to work on my personal brand which makes a lot of people now wants to work with me.

You as an individual if you know you have any disadvantage in a society the best way to overcome it is through your personal brand.

Build it
Nurture it

You will be glad you did it

Welcome to my Ted talk 😅😅

Adam's parents sent him to school. After graduation, he started hustling and building himself. You didn't rate him when he was struggling. After he has made it, you rate him as high value snd want to date him to leverage on his financial capital.

Your own parents sent you to school. After graduation, you start claiming high value because you have one small idea you are waiting for man to fund. No go find eba to warm.

IF IT IS UNSAFE FOR WOMEN TO BE OUT ALONE AT NIGHT THEN THE PEOPLE MAKING IT UNSAFE SHOULD BE THE ONES TO STAY HOME.

Either we stop blaming women for being murdered and raped or we give men a curfew.

The end.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

1. Leave your girlfriend and become single.

Relationship is not why you're broke. If you have a good partner, keep your relationship. Many of you date nonsense, that is your real problem.

2. No football, sleep 5hrs max daily.
Football is nobody's problem. What exactly should they be doing while starving themselves of sleep? Better sleep.

3. Grind for 1 year with no distractions.
What is grind? Tell them exactly what they should do and how they should do it. See mouth like grind. You think they don't know they need to make money?

4. When you’re back, the football and younger girls will be there.
When you're back from where? Did you give them direction?

We’re seeing in real time that death is not enough for everyone to condemn r ape. We’re truly in the trenches.

[Aisha is wealthy| I said what I said! @Opulent_Maisha]

Eternal suffering to the men who did that to them

[Adediwura❤️ @okdiwura]

There is no logical reason why anybody should defend rape.

[Danjuma Aliagan, PhD @Danaliagan]

If MEN who indulge in Zina or Pornography lowered their gaze, exercised restraint and stopped pursuing unlawful relationships, many more WOMEN would be married.

Free access to illegal sex is not a women-only issue. It takes two to tango. Yet somehow, the burden of preserving chastity is always placed almost entirely on the sisters. Are brothers rabid dogs who when it gets to the issue of sex have no control or autonomy over their desires?

Dear brother in Islam, be too chaste to cheapen yourself, too God-fearing to consume women as though they exist merely to satisfy your desires.

The command to guard one’s chastity was revealed FIRST to men, THEN women.

Hold yourself to the same standard you demand of others.

Let’s always endeavor to make a balanced naseeha. Awon Obinrin ma wa daran o

[Big Sister has something to say🤎✨ @Penielglory_]

Nigeria has a rape, pedophilia and femicide problem.

[𝑰𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒔 𝑨. 𝑶𝒏𝒊 PhD @IdrisAOni1]

We are all representatives of Allah on earth. Every human being has been entrusted with the noble responsibility of khilāfah, to care for the earth, protect it, preserve it, cultivate it, and safeguard the lives and wellbeing of all His creatures. This trust is both an honour and an accountability.

Whenever we commit crimes, spread corruption, pollute the environment, destroy public property, oppress others, or inflict harm upon people, animals, or nature, we violate that sacred trust. Every act of injustice and destruction is, in reality, an act of disobedience to the One who appointed us as His vicegerents on earth.

Our duty is not merely to inhabit the earth but to leave it better than we found it. We are called to build, not destroy; to reconcile, not divide; to nurture, not exploit; and to establish justice, mercy, and compassion in every sphere of life.

The Qur'an reminds us: "Indeed, I will place upon the earth a successive authority (khalīfah)." (Qur'an 2:30). Let us honour this divine trust by living responsibly, protecting our environment, respecting the rights of others, and remembering that one day we shall stand before Allah to account for how faithfully we discharged our stewardship.

[𝑰𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒔 𝑨. 𝑶𝒏𝒊 PhD @IdrisAOni1]

Every citizen must take responsibility. We we the architects of our own communities. In a nation where money-making is the ultimate goal, morality will die and the sanctity of life would be trivialized. As Nigerians, we must love ourselves and love our nation. We are here to protect and preserve the land that has God has belated on us. If we ruin it by greed, we have only ourselves to blame.

[226💋 @candyybelly]

in the span of 2 days we’ve seen at least 5 cases (that made it to the media) of rape & femicide in nigeria, DO NOT SUGARCOAT IT, NIGERIAN MALES ARE KILLING & RAPING NIGERIAN WOMEN FOR FUN !!!!

[Max The Airbnb Guy🏡 @Maxtheairbnbguy]

Dear parents, please train your boy child well. Invest in their lives. Be present. Instill discipline. The future of our society depends on it. A boy without guidance, without structure, without a parent who takes the time to shape his character, will grow into a man the world will have to deal with. And we are tired.

It starts at home. A boy who is loved learns to love. A boy who is disciplined learns self control. A boy who is taught respect becomes a man who respects others. But a boy who is neglected, who is left to raise himself, who is shown that violence is the answer, becomes a danger to everyone.

If you do not raise your son, the streets will raise him. The internet will raise him. The wrong crowd will raise him. And by the time he is grown, it will be too late. He will be another man society has to protect itself from.

[Nedu_🔥 @Hhonor_]

Let's be clear: this has nothing to do with sexual urges. In this country, sex is often easier to find than a decent meal.

Rapists are not driven by desire,they are driven by cruelty and the need to violate others. Anyone who takes pleasure in forcing themselves on another person has abandoned their humanity.

NB: This is written and posted with permission for readers to learn

Recently, two Muslim sisters shared deeply painful experiences with me. In one case, a woman endured nearly two decades of her husband's repeated infidelity, repeatedly treating infections she contracted after marital relations with him. Financial dependence and concern for her daughters kept her in the marriage despite the emotional and physical toll. Eventually, it became evident that her husband was deeply involved in an illicit relationship with another woman. He later claimed he intended to marry her as a second wife, but by then he had already transmitted HSV to his wife through his continued infidelity.

In another case, a young wife has repeatedly contracted sexually transmitted infections from her cheating husband, who also refuses to use protection despite the obvious medical risks. These are not merely marital disputes; they are matters of life, health, trust, and human dignity.

Islam does not permit a spouse to endanger the life or health of the other. One of the higher objectives (Maqāṣid) of the Sharīʿah is the preservation of life and lineage. A husband who knowingly exposes his wife to sexually transmitted infections through adultery commits a grave sin and an act of oppression. A wife in such circumstances has every right to protect herself from further harm. If there is a credible risk of infection because of proven infidelity, she is justified in refusing sexual relations until genuine repentance has occurred, appropriate medical evaluation and treatment have been completed, and the danger has been removed. This is not disobedience; it is self-preservation, and the Sharīʿah does not require a person to submit to preventable harm.

There are important lessons here for our sisters, and indeed for our entire community:

1. Strive for financial independence through lawful work, skills, or business. While a husband is obligated to provide maintenance, having your own source of income can protect your dignity and expand your choices in difficult times.

2. Build lawful savings and assets. Islam recognises a woman's independent financial ownership. Do not surrender that right out of misplaced sentiment.

3. Never normalise or excuse infidelity. Adultery destroys trust, families, and health. It should be confronted with wisdom, accountability, and sincere repentance, not silence.

4. Do not remain in a harmful marriage solely because of societal pressure or fear of raising children alone. Children are better served by a safe and dignified environment than by witnessing persistent abuse and betrayal.

5. Value your life and your health. People's opinions will not bear your pain, pay your medical bills, or answer before Allah on your behalf. Your life is an amānah (trust) from Allah and deserves protection.

This advice is not an invitation to hastily dissolve marriages. Islam encourages reconciliation where there is sincere repentance, justice, and reform. But reconciliation cannot be built on persistent deception, repeated infidelity, and the continued exposure of an innocent spouse to serious harm. Marriage is founded upon tranquillity, mercy, fidelity, and mutual protection, not exploitation and abuse.
