You have 24 hours.
I have 24 hours.
We all have 24 hours.
I spend mine moving. Learning. Building. Saying no to the things that feel good but lead nowhere.
You spend yours on things that don't count. Things that feel urgent but aren't important. Things that keep you busy but leave you empty.
Then the results show up.
And You call it luck.
You call it connection.
You call it "their time hasn't come yet."
Call it whatever helps you sleep.
But the honest truth is that?
I just made different decisions with the same 24 hours you wasted.
And I did it consistently. Day-by-day.
That's it.
Nothing more.
وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا
"And peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"
Birthdays are days of reflection rather than celebration. We pray for longevity and tranquility
Give me one Islamic Scholar in the whole of Africa 🌍 that can gather a crowd of this magnitude during his janazah prayer. Allah Akbar! May Allah pacify the precious secrets of the Grand Shaykh Tahir Uthman Bauchi. Amīn 🙏
77 of his 95 children have memorized the Qur’an. According to Sunan Abi Dawood, Hadith 1453, a crown of light will be placed on his head on the Day of Judgment. Imagine having 77 children that have achieved this. Alhamdulillah.
Leaving a job well is a career skill, too.
When you resign from a job, do it gracefully and honorably. This is similar to how likeability can increase your chances of accessing closed doors.
People will remember how you left more than how you stayed. And how you are remembered can either open doors for you or quietly close them.
Say your goodbyes well. Hand over your tasks properly. Thank the people you worked with.
Even if the job wasn’t perfect, your exit can still be.
Kano has lost one of its greatest sons and Nigeria has lost a true elder statesman — Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata. A pillar of wisdom, philanthropy, and integrity. His contributions to our nation’s economic and social development will forever be remembered. May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, overlook his imperfections and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. Ameen.
