There is a lot of bad things being said about marriage and it has discouraged a whole generation to not get married.
Happily married people please say one thing that will help change this situation.
May Allah forgive and admit into Jannah the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali, OON.
He was with us yesterday after Jumuʿah at the Janāzah of Imam Oniye. Today, he has returned to his Lord.
Indeed, death is a reminder that no one knows when their appointed time will come.
He ended his life upon righteous deed, attending the funeral prayer of a fellow Muslim. May Allah accept it from him, forgive his shortcomings, expand his grave, illuminate it with His mercy, and admit him into Al-Jannatul Firdaus.
May Allah also grant patience and comfort to his family, friends, colleagues, students, and loved ones.
Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn.

Earlier today at Cairo airport, I had just led others in Fajr prayer and was about to sit down when Mallam Musharraf Aderogba beckoned to me to come over. On getting there, he asked me to engage the young man sitting next to him, who was questioning some verses of the Qur’ān that he considered to be vi0lent. I obliged him and engaged the young man. One of his issues was with Q.9:29. To begin with, I asked if his phone had internet connection, as I would be providing real and verifiable contexts to the verses. Alhamdulillaah I was able to educate him, and he agreed totally with me.
Next, I showed him verses of the Bible such as 1Samuel 15:3, Luke 19:27, Mathew 10:34-36, etc., to buttress the importance of reading contexts to religious texts, lest one ignorantly commit mischief. I told him that Jesus gave an instruction that those who wouldn't allow him reign over them be brought before him and kpai-ed (Luke 19:27). Similarly, he boldly claimed that he had not come to bring peace to the world, but to cause chaos (Mathew 10:34-36). If we put literal interpretations to those texts, without considering their contexts what does that make Jesus?, I queried.
Surprisingly, he had never read those texts before. He couldn't believe his eyes. At first, he doubted them, but I told him to look up the verses in his personal Bible. Then, he tried playing the "Old Testament" card, but I reminded him that Jesus himself said that he hadn't come to abolish the ways and teachings of the past prophets, but to fulfil them (Mathew 5:17).
Next, I brought out my phone and showed him videos of some of my Friday Khutbahs, in which I refuted Abel Damina and others like him who deliberately quote the Qur’ān out of context in order to achieve certain premeditated objectives of rubbishing Islam and criminalizing Muslims.
Next, I showed him verses of the Qur’ān such as Q.60:8 & 9 which explicitly instructed the Muslims to be kind and just in dealing with non-Muslims who are not hostile towards them or cooperative with their enemies against them. I also showed him Qur’ān 5:82 which designated the Christians as the closer in affection to the Muslims. I also showed him verses that condemn unjust taking of life, and how one life unjustly taken equals genocide (5:32), as well as the punishment for armed brigandage (5:33), among others.
Next, I asked him to mention any other country which, in the last 50 years has brought terror, destruction, and disability to the world apart from the US. Japan, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, etc. Being a Christian country, why isn't Christianity designated as a ter0rist religion? I asked him if Islam was synonymous with terr0rism, why are our people living freely and making it big in Malaysia, Qatar, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, etc?
In the end, we both agreed that we have a common enemy in the terrorists and bandits, and that religious or ethnic coloration of crimes is a deliberate strategy to spilt us so as to make defeating us easier.
As a Muslim, you have no business taking blame for the crimes of the terr0rists and bandits. You must never allow anyone to guilt trip or gaslight you to accepting blame on behalf of your religion. Bandits do not represent our religion or our character. They are free to shout Allahu Akbar as they wish. We cannot take the blame for their crimes which they perpetrate against innocent citizens regardless of their faith. These criminals have wasted more Muslim lives, and have more Muslims in captivity. How does that justify the bogus claim of Islamization ?

We spend our whole life planning tomorrow, forgetting that one day our name will only remain on a stone beneath the earth.
In Islam, the grave is not the end… it is the beginning of the real journey. Every heartbeat is bringing us closer to meeting Allah, yet we live as if death only happens to others. This dunya is temporary, no matter how beautiful it looks. The only thing that truly stays with us is our deeds, our prayers, our intentions, and the way we treated people.
Maybe this quote feels heavy… but sometimes the heart needs a reminder before it becomes too attached to a world that was never meant to last forever.
“Nothing is certain in life, except death.”
So before our final day arrives, may Allah make us among those who return to Him with a peaceful heart.

Ya Allah, grant me someone I can speak to openly, the way I speak to You, without any fear of being misunderstood.
One soul who understands that this journey is about patience, not perfection. Someone who will not leave when I am struggling, because they know what struggling looks like from the inside.
One heart that when I am around them, You come to my mind. Not someone who pulls me toward this world, but someone who makes me want to be better for Your sake.
One love that moves toward Jannah together. Every day a little closer, not further away.
And Ya Allah, until You send that person, let my heart find its rest in You alone. You are enough. You have always been enough.
Ameen.
