"Gone is the thirst, quenched are the veins, and assured is the reward if Allah wills."
May Allah make you and I among the major beneficiaries of the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan Tafseer 8: The exegesis discussed Verse 155 of Chapter 3 of the Glorious Qur'an. The translation of the verse is: "Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts met (i.e., the Battle of Uhud), it was Satan who caused them to backslide because of some (sins) they had earned. But Allah, indeed, has forgiven them. Surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing."
Some major lessons from this verse include:
1) The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned us against wishing to meet enemies, as war is only the last option (and is mostly for self-defense). (Bukhari: 3026)
2) Disobedience to Allah often occurs as a result of Satan's attempts to mislead us. We must seek refuge in Allah from Satan's evil whispers. (Suratul-Mumineen: Verses 97-98)
3) Allah forgives our sins if we meet the necessary conditions.
Finally, may Allah make us among the major beneficiaries of the month of Ramadan.
Alhamdu lil Laah!
I am personally not in support of paying ransom to criminals. However, since it becomes clear, we lost our daughter Nabeeha yesterday, and the 5 remaining daughters have been threatened, as I spoke with the father on the matter yesterday and today.
Furthermore, I spoke with a friend and a brother who offered to pay the remaining 50 million Naira of the 60m immediately. I conveyed the account number of the father of pur daughters, Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, to the friend and brother to send the money directly. Any additional amount earlier generated from yesterday, the father can use to treat the daughters and other family members in sha Allah.
May the Almighty Allah reward the bother and friend with Jannatul Firdaus for the donation. May He also reward all those who contributed in any way with Jannatul Firdaus, too. May He also forgive Nabeeha and rescue her sisters. May the Almighty also help our security agencies to bring an end to these challenges. May Nigeria be a better place for all of us.
I love Nigeria.
