She Hid Her 12-Year-Old Daughter in a Ditch for Nine Months to Save Her From Boko Haram

In August 2014, Zainabu Hamayaji made a decision that would keep her daughter alive but force the young girl to spend nine months hidden underground.

Hassana was only 12 years old. Her mother feared that Boko Haram fighters would abduct her and force her to become a child bride.

To protect her, Zainabu hid her in a deep ditch behind their home in Madagali, Adamawa State, Nigeria.

Then, she did something that made the plan even more extraordinary.

She pretended to be mentally ill so the insurgents would leave her family alone.

When Boko Haram invaded Madagali, families faced a terrifying choice. People who tried to escape were being killed, and Zainabu witnessed the violence firsthand.

Her husband was among those killed.

She was left trying to protect her children in a town controlled by the same fighters she feared would take her eldest daughter away.

Zainabu had heard that the insurgents were looking for young girls to marry. When they learned she had a daughter of marriageable age, they came to her home.

She denied having such a daughter, but they did not believe her.

They beat her repeatedly. Her shoulder was dislocated, and she lost a tooth during the attacks.

Zainabu realised that simply denying Hassana's existence would not be enough. She needed to make the fighters believe there was something about her family that made it dangerous to interfere with them.

So she began acting as though she had lost her sanity.

She loosened her hair, stripped off her clothes and wandered around the community. She rolled in rubbish and smeared herself with urine and faeces.

The woman who had once lived an ordinary life was deliberately making herself an object of avoidance.

The insurgents returned repeatedly to check whether her behaviour was genuine. Each time, Zainabu continued the act.

Her younger children helped her maintain the deception. When the fighters questioned them about their mother's behaviour, they insisted that she had been mentally unwell for a long time and had previously visited a psychiatric hospital.

The children were frightened, but they played their part.

Eventually, the insurgents began to believe the story.

According to Zainabu's account, they feared that harming a mentally ill woman or taking her child could bring a curse upon them. They even left a warning on the family's house telling other fighters not to attack them.

But while Zainabu was trying to convince the insurgents that she was mentally unstable, Hassana was facing a different kind of ordeal.

She was living inside a ditch.

Her mother had prepared the hiding place with supplies, including food, water and matches. Hassana had to cook and manage her basic needs in the confined space. She also had to find a way to dispose of her waste.

For nine months, the ditch became her hiding place.

She could not simply walk outside whenever she wanted. Her safety depended on remaining hidden while her mother continued the deception above ground.

It was an extraordinary burden for a child who should have been able to live without fear of being abducted and forced into marriage.

Zainabu kept up the act, despite the beatings and the physical injuries she had suffered.

Then, in March 2015, Nigerian soldiers recaptured Madagali from Boko Haram.

When the soldiers encountered Zainabu, they were suspicious. They wanted to know how she had survived in the occupied town and questioned whether she had been married to a Boko Haram fighter.

She denied it and explained what she had done to protect her children.

The soldiers did not immediately believe her.

So she took them to the hiding place.

When they opened the ditch, Hassana was there.

After nine months underground, the 12-year-old girl was finally brought out of hiding.

The soldiers took the family to a camp for displaced people in Gwoza, where Zainabu later told her story to journalists.

Let me help you understand because I see that you are trying to judge the architecture of the universe by using the logic of a village mechanic.

Think of a smart phone. It is more or less like a flat piece of glass, metal, and plastic sitting in your pocket. Yet, when you make a video call, this lifeless object shoots invisible frequencies into the sky. And within a split second, you are looking at a live moving image of someone halfway across the world and hearing their voice as if they are sitting right next to you.

You accept this mind bending process without question because human engineers gave it a name and sold it to you. If you took that same phone back a few centuries and tried to explain a video call, the most brilliant scholars of that era would call you crazy. They would swear it defies all known logic.

Yet, when the Creator of time, space, and quantum physics designs a celestial vessel capable of bending spatial dimensions, your mind completely shuts down.

You ignorantly reduce a metaphysical reality to a winged donkey. When humans build a rocket that breaks the sound barrier, you call it genius. When the Supreme Being operates outside your limited understanding of earthly biology, you laugh. That is not critical thinking. That is arrogance masking a severe lack of exposure. 

Jsyk, the Buraq is not a winged donkey. It as a unique celestial creation capable of traveling at incomprehensible speeds, where its single stride reaches the horizon. If modern science accepts that light travels at mind bending speeds across the universe, then you mocking a heavenly transport system just exposes your rigid, misguided and limited mind. 

Then you proceeded to mock the reduction of the prayers, calling it a negotiation. For those of us that have sense, imagine a billionaire investor sets a big target for a new startup to generate 50 million dollars in revenue.

He does this to establish the ultimate standard of what the company is truly worth. A veteran advisor steps in and warns that the young team will burn out and collapse under that heavy weight. The billionaire smiles, drops the target to 5 million, but still grants them the full 50 million dollar equity.

Did the advisor outsmart the billionaire? No. The original target was set to reveal the massive and immense value of the deal, and the reduction was a deliberate mechanism to show overwhelming generosity.

The initial decree of 50 prayers established the true weight of what humanity owes the Creator. The encounter with Moses (peace be upon him) was the divine mechanism used to unveil His mercy to human weakness. He gave us the discount of 5 while allowing us keep the full reward of 50. 

Only the believer will understand the spiritual depth of this. But even a skeptic with a functioning brain can grasp the philosophical brilliance behind it. When you mock concepts that are lightyears beyond your comprehension, you do not expose the religion. You only put your own intellectual poverty on public display.

I pray the Almighty guides you.

I have received several tags to this, and I am happy to say something about it.

It is a major misconception to think that giving out breast milk is forbidden in Islam. There are nuances to it, which I will be explaining.

The act of sharing milk is a noble form of mercy and was the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who was breastfed by Halimah as-Sa'diyyah (May Allah be pleased with her).

The confusion usually comes from the spiritual and legal bond that the milk creates, which is called “Rada'ah.” When a child drinks your milk, they are no longer a stranger to you.

First of all, the permission to share milk is established in Surah Al-Baqarah:

وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن تَسْتَرْضِعُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ
"And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you."

From the verse above, we would see that Islam recognizes that sometimes a mother cannot or chooses not to nurse, and there is no shame in seeking help. But as soon as you take that step, you enter the territory of Surah An-Nisa (4:23), which lists the women you can never marry:

وَأُمَّهَاتُكُمُ اللَّاتِي أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُم مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ
"And [forbidden to you are] your milk-mothers who nursed you and your milk-sisters."

This verse above is the backbone of the entire legal system regarding milk. It tells us that the woman giving the milk becomes a mother in the eyes of the law, and her daughters become sisters to that child.

In fact, the Prophet (peace be upon him) confirmed how deep this relationship goes by saying:

يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ
"What is forbidden by reason of lineage is also forbidden by reason of suckling."

This means that milk kinship is just as strong as blood kinship when it comes to marriage prohibitions. For this bond to be fixed, two main conditions must be met:

1. The suckling must happen within the first two lunar years of the child’s life. After this age, the milk is just food and does not change anyone's legal status.

What is our proof for this? Allah talked about the timeline for when this milk actually creates a family bond in the same verse of Surah Al-Baqarah:

وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ ۖ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ
"Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling."

This verse sets the window of two years as the biological and legal limit where the milk has the power to build the child's flesh and bone to establish kinship.

2. The number of times must conform with the Five-Suckling Rule. The child must drink until they are full on five separate occasions.

Imam Ash-Shafi'i in his book Al-Umm, relied on the authentic narration from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) where she explained that the rule was settled at five known sucklings. She says in Sahih Muslim:

كَانَ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ بِخَمْسٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ
"It had been revealed in the Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (replaced) by five clear sucklings."

Imam Shafi’i argued that the nourishment must be significant enough to be "known" and "clear" to create the bond of brotherhood or motherhood. He also argued that one or two sips are not enough to create the "flesh and bone" connection required by the law.

To stop ants coming in to your house leave a saucer of milk outside. The adult ants drink it & it has an effect on ant reproduction. The young are born without toes so they can't climb in to your
cavity walls.

This effect is called lack toes in toddler ants.

🚨JUST IN: Israel abused and tortured a baby to pressure his father.

Osama Abu Nassar was stopped near Al-Maghazi camp, forced to strip, and separated from his 18-month-old son. Witnesses say soldiers detained the child, tortured him in front of his father, and interrogated him at a checkpoint.

The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours via the Red Cross with injuries documented in a medical report, while the father remains in detention.

“Netanyahu is dead, they’re using AI!!”
“Netanyahu is still alive, it’s 4D chess!!”

My brother in goy, this is what they want. They want you to associate their evil nature with Netanyahu. They want you to associate their genocide with Netanyahu. They want you to put all the blame on Netanyahu.

Why do you think they ‘put all of their sins into a chicken’ and sacrifice it?

They want you to think it’s all Netanyahu’s doing. He is a puppet. It is ALL of them. The entire Judaic Zionistic regime. Not one man. Stop fixating on Netanyahu.
