"All of us are selective sinners. We choose the sins we are comfortable with, and judge others that commit the ones we're not comfortable with". – Shams Tabrizi
In whatever you are doing, avoid Zinah. It destroys life in unimaginable ways.
You can reach all the hights but it can bring you down.
It brings misfortune, regret and agony.
If your aim is to reach far in life and never crash, avoid it…
as soon as you begin to love something, pray that it doesn't become your test, pray that you never lose it.. thank Allah constantly for it and make sure your love for Allah is greater than your love for that thing
You’re a man. Every bit of your focus should be on money, purpose, and fixing your life. Who likes you or dislikes you should be none of your business.
In politics, never underestimate your opponent in any way. The moment you become too comfortable or overconfident is often the moment you begin to lose.
Duk wanda ya taba shiga takara, kuma ya san yadda siyasa da tsarin ta ya ke, ba zai zo yana murnar faduwar wani ba.
A siyasa, akwai yau kuma akwai gobe.
Dear @honbetara1
Your people love you so much and will always elect as you are good to them.
You have been in the house of reps for almost 20 years and one of the most if not the most influencial member, you have the resource to challenge the establishment in Borno state, why didn't you do it, of course they may not give you the ticket but could have moved to another party and make your mark. Even if you lose you shall be known as a gladiator that fought.
There is a saying that says only those who buy the lottery ticket win.
MUST READ: The Tyranny of Political Imposition in Maiduguri, Borno State
this is just a glimpse of what is happening in the political atmosphere of Maiduguri.
Most people overestimate how long they will hold influence, and underestimate how much value compounds through consistent execution during the periods when they are “out.”
Power is temporary. Relevance is cyclical. But discipline, relationships, reputation, and competence compound quietly over time.
Many only know how to operate when proximity to power gives them visibility. Fewer understand how to build when the room is no longer watching. Yet history often rewards those who remain steady in obscurity just as much as those who shine in moments of prominence.
The “out” periods are not interruptions to the journey; they are where depth is built. They are where strategy matures, character is tested, networks are strengthened, and real capacity is developed away from noise and applause.
Anyone can appear effective when influence is immediate. The greater challenge is remaining purposeful without constant validation continuing to learn, build, and execute even when recognition fades.
In the long run, sustained relevance rarely belongs to those who merely held power. It belongs to those who used every season inside or outside influence to prepare, contribute, and compound value consistently over time.
“And do not go near zina. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.” (17:32)
Porn is dangerous because it doesn’t just show zina it pulls a person closer to it step by step. through the eyes, thoughts, and desires.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught that “The eyes commit zina, and their zina is looking…”
So, in Islam, guarding your gaze is a major act of worship.
