The director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health has called for urgent action to “save” the life of detained Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia before it is “too late”.

The paediatrician has been held by Israel since 2024.

@tokunbo_wahab @jidesanwoolu Thank you Sir.

What are you doing about Oshodi under the foot bridge on the rail tracks, Hon. Commissioner?

This is right at the heart of Lagos.

He represents a tiny sliver of Israeli society, but deserves to be seen.

Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.

Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve. 

He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner. 

It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

I used a Sensodyne (toothpaste) yesterday and could tell immediately that it was fake. Ordered another pack from a different store. Side by side, the packaging is near identical. The only way to know is to use the fake one and find out.

It could have been drugs.

Nigeria’s regulators need to do far more about counterfeit medicines and consumer products. This is not about money lost. Lives are at stake.

Mamdani is not responsible for any attacks on New York Jews - Netanyahu & Zionist Jews are the reason for it by conflating evil crimes by Israeli Jews/ Jewish State / Jewish Army with the Jewish identity and Judaism. This puts anti-Zionist Jews in danger. Zionism ie Jewish Supremacy is evil. Every plan of Zionists against Mamdani will fail by God’s grace Mashallah!

Hundreds of children took part in a marathon in Gaza to raise awareness about the number of children who have lost parents during Israel’s genocide.

Organised by the International Networking for Humanitarian, the event called for greater community and international support.

This lady is an ignorant person. Thank God I saw it because I was about going to bed.

This entire script is not her original thought. It is entirely copy-pasted from the modern progressive and Quranist movements. These ideologies gained a lot of ground during the colonial era. Don’t be surprised that she has leaders she is following their footsteps. The likes of Amina Wadud and Fatima Mernissi.

These two misguided women were the ones who popularized this specific argument that the head-covering is just an old Arab cultural tradition.

Their primary goal has always been to dilute Islamic rulings to make them acceptable to Western secular standards. They operate by rejecting the Sunnah, by ignoring classical Arabic dictionaries, and reinterpreting the Quran using modern English logic. This was the way of Rashad Khalifa who later claimed prophethood. It is a very deceptive methodology.

Now, let’s get to the root of her ignorance and misguidance.

First of all, She spent half the video arguing that the word "Hijab" in the Quran means a wall or a barrier. Every basic student of knowledge knows this. The early generations knew this.

The Quran had a specific word usage for clothing of a Muslim woman. The Quran uses Khimar and Jilbab to describe the clothing of a Muslim woman.

But over time, the Ummah adopted "Hijab" as an umbrella term for modesty and the covering. This is the label name we adopted. You would notice that all she did was to attack the label (name). What about the actual ruling?

Any serious student of knowledge knows the binding fiqhi principle that destroys her entire argument:

العبرة بالحقائق والمعاني لا بالألفاظ والمباني
"Consideration is given to the realities and meanings, not to the words and structures."

Whether we call it Hijab, Khimar, or Jilbab today, the legal ruling of covering the head and body remains the same. Therefore, attacking a label to dodge a divine command is a cheap distraction to make it seem like she discovered a hidden secret. She only exposed her ignorance.

Guess what she did next? She wanted to manipulate the term “Khimar”

Funnily, this is where her lack of Arabic comprehension is exposed. She quoted Surah An-Nur verse 31, where Allah commands believing women to draw their Khumur over their chests. Khumur is the plural of Khimar.

Her argument is that women in Jahiliyyah already wore headcovers to protect themselves from the heat, so the Quranic command was only to cover the chest. She claims covering the hair was just cultural.

Now, let us look at the Arabic root. The root word for Khimar is Kha-Meem-Ra. In classical Arabic, it means to conceal or cover. It is the very same root used for Khamr, which means intoxicants, because alcohol covers the intellect. In the Arabic lexicon, a Khimar is “exclusively” a covering for the head.

The women before Islam wore the Khimar on their heads but they would throw the ends behind their backs. This left their ears, necks, and upper chests completely exposed. The Quran commanded them to take that very head-cover and pull it forward over their chests. The mandate to cover the hair is built right into the word itself.

The most glaring error in her video is that she completely bypassed the Sunnah. You cannot interpret the Quran while throwing away the understanding of the Prophet who received it and the companions who lived it. It is not possible. Maybe that’s why she is misguided.
