Hadith No:1/430 Umdatul Ahkam.
(Chapter One: The book of purity)
On the authority of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:
‘Actions are only by intentions.’ And in another narration: ‘by intention.’
‘And every person will only have what they intended. So, whoever's migration was for Allah and His Messenger, then his migration was for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever's migration was for some worldly gain he might achieve, or a woman he might marry, then his migration was for whatever he migrated for.”
Lesson:👇
@KinqKudos You people keep forgetting that the movie industry is just like any regular job. Has any company ever shut down the next day because they lost someone? Life and work have to continue. You grieve, you honour the person, but eventually, you have to get back to work.
Even Quran recommends ADR for marital disputes. So when people say “don’t involve 3rd parties in your marriages” it’s usually a statement of ignorance.
This is a very important video. This will tell you all you need to know about NELFUND.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is already making the children of a nobody, become somebody with knowing anybody via NELFUND.
Retweet aggressively, so others can see it.
Today’s exactly 21yrs since I became a doctor. It’s been a journey; I am learning not to live in anticipation of a destination
And may Allaah make me better than is known about me; may He forgive what is not known of me
My friend works at the gym. So for the past one month he noticed there is this one guy who comes to work out 3 times in a day. Once in the morning, in the afternoon and again in the evening. So he used to wonder how someone could have the energy to do that. So yesterday the guy came in the morning, he did cardio and some cycling. He came again in the afternoon and he was lifting some weights. Came in the evening and he was lifting weights again.
I realize that person was speaking from a place of love. They just didn’t know my story. And I’m grateful to God for how far He’s brought me. I’m still learning. Still growing. Still hoping to accomplish more with focus and diligence.
Life of a Timid Guy
I still remember when I got admission to study Economics.
Someone very close to me told me not to go for it. “You’re too timid for that course.”
I was angry. I couldn’t even ask, “Then what course should I do instead?”
What they didn’t know was everything I had gone through just to get that admission. For years, my timidness held me back. From childhood, it showed up everywhere. But I made a decision: I won’t let it deprive me of what I want to achieve. Looking back,
I have seen many tweets and counter tweets on the TL. I also saw Dr Oni’s rebuttal to Dr. Sharof, but I exercised restraint throughout. I saw them, I just decided to take a silent approach.
Now that I have been asked formally, I am compelled to say something about it.
First of all, what is the true and most grounded answer to the issue of apostasy in Islam?
The foundational ruling is very clear. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said in a Hadith reported by Ibn Abbas and recorded in Sahih Bukhari:
من بدل دينه فاقتلوه
"Whoever changes his religion, execute him."
The Hadith above is a definitive text. But what does it mean? The true meaning of this Hadith is best understood by understanding the actions of the Prophet.
Imam Ash-Shatibi explained in his book Al-Muwafaqat explained the three different capacities in which the Prophet acted. I talked about this when I refuted Maliq.
His roles evolved in three phases. In the first phase, he acted as a Messenger conveying revelation. Then he moved into the next phase as a Mufti giving religious verdicts. And in the third phase, he acted as an Imam, which means the Head of State (President) and supreme Judge.
When the Prophet gave this specific ruling on apostasy as seen in the Hadith, he was acting in his third capacity as the Head of State. This means the ruling is tied to state authority. It is a state policy that was designed to deal with national security and treason.
And get one fact clear. The policy above was a necessity. The Islamic nation under the Prophet (peace be upon him) was surrounded by a lot of enemies.
They were dealing with the hostile Quraysh, the hypocrites sabotaging them from within Medina, rebellious Arab tribes, and big superpowers such the Byzantine Romans and the Persian Empire.
Can you imagine the scale of the territory? The region of Sham alone, which was managed from far away in Medina, comprises four whole countries today (Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine).
Therefore, maintaining such wide swathe of leadership and securing their military defense made it very necessary to have strict laws against internal betrayal.
Let’s bring it home. Under the Nigerian constitution, the highest crime a citizen can commit against the country is high treason. If you betray the Nigerian state, the penalty is death.
In a fully functioning Islamic state, the religion and the state are one. This is what many people especially non-Muslims fail to understand today. Religion and state power are indivisible entity. You cannot seperate them.
Therefore, leaving the religion is not seen as a personal choice. It is viewed the same way the Nigerian government views high treason. It is a capital offense against the state.
This is where Dr. Sharof is talking from. He is speaking from an Islamic state point of view. And as usual, Dr. Oni just strung words together without saying anything. It is more or less like he is on a default mode to attack anything a Sunnah scholar says.
Having said this, one major problem I see that we have today is lack of adequate knowledge about this affair.

Congratulations bro @PoojaMedia . Excellent work covering this World Cup.
I am even more grateful for journalists like you, after seeing one of the older ones say, ‘3rd is better than 2nd.’
I now value responsible and reasonable journalism better than ever!
