@misty_abisola@UnrulyHsc lol a black man was the first person to call to prayer , the king of Ethiopia protected some Muslims when they were been hunted down in Mecca
May Almighty Allah never make me believe I’m a Yoruba before being a Muslim. Islam first, Islam always, Islam everyday. If that makes me less Yoruba, AlhamduliLah…. May Allah preserve me upon Khayr.
@IdrisAOni1 Like the first man to call to prayer was a black man do this people think we are fools ? I hope next week they will also start asking Yoruba Christians if they are Yoruba first lol
Many non-Muslims seem to think that over two billion Muslims practise Islam to gain acceptance from Arabs or that one cannot be a true Muslim without submitting to Saudi Arabia.
This assumption makes little sense.
Most Muslims are not Arabs, have never been Arabs and have no desire to become Arabs. A Yorùbá Muslim is not Muslim to please an Arab. An Indonesian Muslim is not Muslim because of Saudi Arabia. A Pakistani Muslim does not pray five times a day seeking Arab approval.
Muslims practise Islam because they believe in Allah and His Messenger (ṣallāLlāhu 'alayhi wa sallam), not because of any race, tribe or country.
Islam is not submission to Arabs.
Islam is submission to Allah.
Why do we say Islam first?
Because Islam first means God first.
Islam first means truth first.
Islam first means justice first.
Islam first means humanity first.
Islam first means honesty first.
Islam first means peace and security first.
Islam first means the protection of life first.
Islam first means the protection of human dignity first.
Islam first means standing with the oppressed first.
Islam first means opposing oppression first.
Islam first means fairness before ethnicity.
Islam first means principles before tribe.
Islam first means integrity before personal interest.
Islam first means righteousness before partisanship.
Islam first means mercy before hatred.
Islam first means knowledge before ignorance.
Islam first means accountability before impunity.
Islam first means the sanctity of human life before political ambition.
Islam first means condemning crime even when committed by one's own people.
Islam first means defending the innocent regardless of their religion or ethnicity.
Islam first means fulfilling trus
Islam first means loving for others what you love for yourself.
Islam first means protecting society from corruption and chaos.
Islam first means serving humanity for the sake of Allah.
Islam first means being a source of benefit, not harm.
Islam first means brotherhood without injustice.
Islam first means strength without oppression.
Islam first means faith without extremism.
Islam first means identity without tribalism.
Islam first means conviction without hatred.
Islam first means firmness without bigotry.
Islam first means confidence without arrogance.
Islam first means loyalty to principles, not blind loyalty to people.
Islam first means standing for what is right even when it is against yourself, your family or your tribe.
Islam first means refusing to compromise the truth for popularity, politics or ethnic sentiment.
Islam first means judging people by their character and conduct, not by their race, tribe or social status.
Islam first means having the courage to say "my people are wrong" when they are wrong and "my opponent is right" when he is right.
Islam first means submission to God above every ideology, ethnicity, race, tribe, nation and worldly interest.
That is why a Muslim says Islam first, not because he hates his people, but because he believes that the best guarantee of justice, peace, dignity, security and human flourishing is to place the guidance of Allah above every other loyalty.
My fellow Nigerians, I earnestly appeal to all those with a vision for our nation's future to listen attentively to this crucial message and momentarily set aside their political affiliations. Let's reflect on the potential approaches of individuals like Peter Obi. How might he tackle issues differently, particularly considering his apparent reluctance to denounce IPOB, a group that, despite its claims of peaceful intent, has a documented history of horrific violence against innocent citizens? Furthermore, what of Atiku, who has remained conspicuously silent regarding the grave threats posed by bandits and Boko Haram? It's truly disheartening to witness the persistent self-deception among Nigerians. We need to transcend the superficial online pronouncements of figures such as Pst. @MamaPee__, @AishaYesufu , @siccof@Peter4Nigeria , Peter4Nigeria,, whose posts often seem to lack genuine reflection. May divine blessings be upon all truly exceptional Nigerians, and may our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, be granted the strength and success to realize his ambitions. Amen.
Credit to this guy.
