You wonder why there is so much hate for Islam? You wonder why when Islam comes into the picture, double standards set in?
I will tell you today.
Let’s look at how the world treats women. The loudest voices shout "her body, her choice" all year round. That rule applies to everyone until a Muslim woman decides to cover her body.
A Catholic nun walks down the street in a full habit and society praises her pure devotion. A Muslim woman wears a hijab and suddenly politicians call it a symbol of oppression. The government steps in to police her wardrobe and they have the nerve to call it liberation. You cannot liberate a woman by forcing her to uncover against her will.
The same script plays out for the men. A guy grows a large beard for fashion or for another religion and he is just expressing his personal style. A Muslim man grows his beard out of devotion and overnight society labels him a security threat.
Why does this happen?
The modern secular world demands that your ultimate submission must be to the state and its cultural norms. Religion is only tolerated if it is kept hidden in your heart or inside a building on the weekend.
Islam rejects that. Islam is a complete system of life that says your ultimate submission is only to God. That level of unshakeable, public conviction terrifies a system built on shifting trends.
When a far-right party in France tries to ban the hijab, they are not trying to protect women. They are trying to erase a visible reminder of a faith they cannot control. They preach freedom of expression but they panic when a Muslim expresses their faith. That is not freedom. That is forced compliance masquerading as liberty.
And for every far-right ideology, this is only the beginning of a much bigger agenda to strip away Islamic identity piece by piece. Banning a piece of cloth is just their testing ground.
The real goal is to push Muslims completely out of the public square, dictate how we live, and force us to choose between our faith and our basic right to exist in society.
The solidarity movement we are seeing in France right now shows that everyday people are starting to see through the hypocrisy. But we have to keep calling it out. The double standard thrives when we stay quiet.

He assured that his office will remain steadfast in supporting programs that uplift the people and foster collective growth and sustainable development.
I asked a question some days ago. Why are we stressing ourselves trying to figure out how to live when we can just take the blueprint?
They will call the Sunnah primitive until a medical expert says it on a podcast. We have been taught to squat or sit to pee for over 1400 years. Now they are discovering the health benefits for the prostate and treating it like a brand new revelation.
Over and over again, time has revealed the truth. We do not need a lab coat to validate the guidance. Science is just doing what it always does. It will eventually catch up.
A pangolin eats 15,000 to 20,000 termites per day. That's about 70 million per year. Besides controlling termite population, they also help aerate the soil. They're environmental heroes that need our protection. Please, do not hunt or eat pangolins.
Thank you
This is quite intense, but if you don’t mind, I know a herbal remedy that works. Let me share it for those who may need it.
Go and get:
1. Pure Neem Oil
2. Black Seed Oil
3. Licorice stick
4. Cold-pressed Sunflower oil
First of all, Crush or pound a small piece of the Licorice stick so it opens up. Drop those crushed pieces into a clean glass bottle or jar and pour about half a cup of your sunflower oil over it. Cover it and let it sit for two or three days.
After three days, strain out the woody pieces. Now you have a powerful licorice infused carrier oil.
Next, you add the Neem oil. You have to be careful with the Neem oil because it is highly concentrated. If you put it straight on your skin, it will irritate it worse.
Add just half a teaspoon of the Neem oil into your infused oil.
Add one teaspoon of the Black Seed Oil.
Shake the bottle really well to mix everything up.
To use it, don’t apply on dry skin. Take a quick shower or bath. When you get out, leave your skin damp. Rub the oil mixture right over the damp skin.
Do this consistently, by God’s grace, it will go.
Allah knows best.
Again, criminals who sell fake drinks, fake medicine, fake beverages, including fake consumables for children, should be classified as terrorists. When caught, they should be convicted, jailed and shot on live TV.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) must do more to fight fake drugs, fake drinks and fake beverages in Nigeria.
A lot of people are getting sick (kidney disease, liver failure, cancer, etc) and killed by these fake consumables. It has become too much. NAFDAC and SON must do more or be decentralised.
PS: If you can, destroy that bottle of Casamingos, Glen CRU, Martell, Jack Daniels, Jameson Black Barrel, Hennessy or Macallan after drinking the content. You will be helping to fight manufacturers of fake drinks in your own way. These criminals are out to kill you and make your family miserable.
Again, there is a FAKE DRUGS & DRINKS pandemic in Nigeria! FAKE DRUGS manufacturers are killing your mothers and fathers slowly!
There is a FAKE BABY FOOD pandemic in Nigeria! FAKE BABY FOOD manufacturers are poisoning your babies slowly!
YOU are being poisoned slowly. Don’t let them kill you. Support the advocacy against fake drugs and fake drinks! #SayNoToFakeDrugs #SayNoToFakeBeverages #SayNoToFakeProducts
If I die right now, while still in the state of Islam and īmān, I would want every Muslim who hears of my death to first thank Allah on my behalf that I died as a Muslim. Before celebrating my achievements, recounting my good deeds, mourning what I left behind, or speaking about anything else, let there be gratitude to Allah that He preserved my faith until my final moment.
This is the understanding of a Muslim. We know that wealth, status, scholarship, family, influence and accomplishments all end with this world. But to meet Allah upon tawḥīd and submission to Him is the ending every believer hopes and prays for.
So, if I die as a Muslim, grieve for me because you love me, pray for me because I will need your prayers, forgive my shortcomings, but above all, thank Allah that I died believing in Him.
O Allah, keep us alive upon Islam, cause us to die upon faith, and grant us a beautiful ending. Āmīn.
Humanity and Religion: The Delusion of Man
When people come up with "Humanity First" during religious conversations, I just laugh. I know right at the spot that this person does not know what they are saying.
There is a very mischievous angle to it as well. It operates as a trap. They frame the conversation so that if you dare to challenge their logic, they instantly paint you as a bad person. But they cannot do that to us. We are too sophisticated for that. We see right through the strategy already.
This whole slogan did not just fall from the sky. It is a manufactured concept. If you trace the roots of this secular humanist worldview, you will run into figures such as Auguste Comte in the 19th century.
He was a French philosopher who quite literally tried to establish a "Religion of Humanity." His motive was laid bare in his writings. He wanted to strip away the theological foundations of society but realized people still needed a structure to keep them from tearing each other apart.
He wanted the moral benefits of faith without having to submit to God. The agenda was to put human reason on the throne and make man the ultimate judge.
The motive behind this movement has always been about replacing divine authority with human authority. You see this unpacked perfectly in Yuval Noah Harari’s book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.
Harari points out that humanism is not the absence of religion. It is a new religion. He noted that humanism teaches us that human beings themselves are the supreme source of meaning and authority in the universe.
The people pushing the "Humanity First" narrative want to be their own gods. They want to define what is good and evil based on their own feelings in the current moment, so they never have to be accountable to a higher truth.
And that is where the danger lies, and why their worldview is so fragile. If humanity is the standard, which version of humanity are we talking about?
Because human beings are capable of profound darkness. Fyodor Dostoevsky saw the end result of this agenda long before it became a popular internet slogan.
In his book: The Brothers Karamazov, he presented a chilling reality: "If God does not exist, everything is permitted." If there is no higher moral anchor, morality is just a popularity contest.
At the end of the day, whoever has the most power gets to decide what is right and wrong.
What these people are doing is demanding the benefits of a religious moral structure while rejecting the authority that provided it.
The ideas of inherent human dignity, justice, and compassion were built and sustained by religious foundations. Stripping away religion and claiming humanity is enough is like admiring a lit lightbulb while trying to cut the power cord.
So the next time they try to use that slogan to force you into a corner, just stand your ground. Let them know you understand the history of their talking points better than they do.
They are relying on a philosophical illusion designed by men who wanted to escape accountability. It is time we stop letting their empty rhetoric pass for profound wisdom.
Allah knows best.
Today, I join our people of Asa Local Government in celebrating 50 remarkable years of history, heritage and progress.
This Golden Jubilee is an opportunity to honour the generations of fathers, mothers, leaders, heroes and heroines whose sacrifices and contributions 1/
A small clip from the first test of my AI glasses with a visually impaired person
I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me so far. But my dream and vision go far beyond this i want to use technology to make a real difference in people’s lives and help our society
I believe this project deserves to reach the world and connect with technology companies and organizations that can support us in taking it to full production
I have launched the actual test of this AI Glass that I built to help blind people and people with visual impairments
I started testing it directly on the face of a person with a visual impairment to see how it would work in real life👓
And what amazed me the most is that after the blind person wore the glass, he said that for him, it was amazing
Watch the video in English below ⤵️
This project of mine is getting close to where I want it to be
And the world wants to see it in action
The fire in Jahanam will not touch the person who recites "Allahumma Ajirni Minan Nar" 7x after fajr & maghrib.
If you choose to RETWEET this, it will be a Sadqatul-Jaariya for you and me
