Another problem with state police is the way it could be used to oppress Muslims living in North Central Nigeria, especially in Plateau State
If they can abuse & oppress Muslims there without state police, imagine what they could do once they have the power of state police force
Tomorrow is the 9th of Muharram, a day known as Tasu'ah.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) highly encouraged fasting the 10th of Muharram, which is Ashura, because it wipes away the minor sins of the entire previous year.
To make sure the Muslim community stood out and differed from other groups who only fasted the 10th, he said:
لئن بقيت إلى قابل لأصومن التاسع
"If I live until next year, I will surely fast the ninth."
This means the baseline recommendation is to pair the 10th with the 9th, in order to avoid isolating the 10th day on its own.
Ibn al-Qayyim in Zad al-Ma'ad breaks down the levels of this fast. He noted that the highest and most complete way to do it is by fasting three consecutive days: the 9th, 10th, and 11th.
There is a very practical wisdom to this three-day combination that relates to moon sightings and regional time differences.
Because Islamic months rely on local sightings of the crescent, different countries often start the month on different days. There is also the occasional factor of poor visibility or human error when the month is announced.
Therefore, by fasting all three days (the 9th, 10th, and 11th), you completely remove any margin of error. No matter how the calendar falls in your specific location or how the days were counted, you are guaranteed to catch the true day of Ashura.
If you cannot manage tomorrow, you can still aim for the 10th and the 11th to fulfill the sunnah of pairing the days. It is a very short window for a massive spiritual reset.
Let us make the intention tonight, prepare our meals, and not miss out on the reward.
May Allah accept it from us.
Allah knows best.
@tokunbo_wahab@Equityoyo@mc_lively_ I actually feel you have a lot of cravings for trolls on the internet. You ain’t the first Environmental Commissioner we have had in Lagos perhaps to come on the internet or social media to give information regarding what they do. But I have seen you engage in needless trolls!
@naftalibennett You conveniently kill innocents and come here to defend such an ignominy? You disowned Ben Gvir and yet he still serves on the Cabinet? Have you fooled all the Israelis? Bet it, you can’t fool the outsiders to cover up your ignominious crimes!
@netanyahu Utterly shameless fool! No sense of guilt has enlivened you more than what you have committed against the innocent children and women of Gaza and now Lebanon. One day, one day, you will have your day with your Lord to account for these atrocities! Tueh!

We were paid 700k to convert Muslims to Christianity.
As a born again, I went to the school of discipleship in Jos, where we were bewitched. The food we ate had black magic whose essence was to make us forget our parents. We were made to believe that any Muslim who leaves Islam will be k!lled by their parents...
I proceeded to the redeemed christian church's school of discipleship in Lagos and those years, I converted a lot of Muslims to Christianity because I did not know the truth then because we were taught how to maliciously translate the Quran. For instance, surah Tawbah verse 29 will be interpreted to mean that Muslims are enjoined to k!ll Christians and born agains...
Unknowledgeable Muslims used to be our targets for us to convert to Christianity.
Last November, there were rumours that Muslims were k!lling christians. I was invited to give a false testimony in a crusade in Asaba that I am ex Muslim and an ex member of a t3rrorist group. We used to be armed and sponsored by Muslims to burn down churches and k!ll Christians. I was given some fake graphic images to present as evidence.
I declined the request because I knew it was a lie because I had lived with Muslims and I knew Muslims were not like that...
Another person was later used to replace me to give the false testimony.
When I was into Evangelism, I was being sponsored by foreigners because I could speak English. At the end of every year, we were given N700,000 to convert people to Christianity....
As far as I am concerned, so long the Qurān remains, bible cannot be true. For instance, John 17 verse 3 says "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent"
How is it possible for Jesus to be God's son if he clearly says he was sent by God?
Also in Mark 6 verse 3 when Jesus went to Nazareth, it was said about him "Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him"
How could 'God' have siblings?»

My loyalty is to Islam first before anything.....
My loyalty is to Allãh and His Messenger only.
I am a Muslim first before being a Nigerian, and before being a Hausa man.
My position; today, tomorrow and in Sha Allãh forever.

Enough of the ignorance masquerading as criticism of Islam. Shariah is a divinely-guided system, not a tribal badge or ethnic preference. Those who dismiss it often lack understanding or twist their own “Muslim” identity to favour ethnicity or tribe over faith. The Qur’an commands:
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, or your relatives…” (4:135). Faith transcends tribe, ethnicity, or personal convenience.
Imam At-Tirmidhi (3270) narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) addressed the people on the day of the conquest of Makkah and said:
“O people, verily Allah has taken away from you the arrogance of Jaahiliyyah and its pride in forefathers. People are of two types: righteous and pious, who are dear to Allah, and doomed evildoers, who are insignificant before Allah. People are the descendants of Adam, and Allah created Adam from dust. Allah says: ‘O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted’ [Surah al-Hujuraat 49:13].”
Prioritising culture or lineage over God’s commands is not Islam, it is tribalism in disguise. Shariah is not arbitrary; it is rooted in justice, compassion, and societal well-being. Those who reduce it to oppression or “backwardness” are either ignorant or intentionally misleading. Islam has moral, ethical, and social frameworks comparable to any modern governance system. Today’s reality exposes the cost of tribal and ethnic bias: nepotism, corruption, division. These are condemned in Islam. “Do not let hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to piety.” (5:8).
To so-called "I am a Muslim too", but attack Shariah while elevating ethnicity: your allegiance is misplaced. Islam demands accountability to God’s law, not to family or tribe. “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great success.” (33:71). Tribalism in Muslim societies today is weakening the moral and ethical fabric Islam seeks to protect. Respecting faith over lineage is a hard truth, but ignoring it invites hypocrisy and societal decay. You risk losing your faith if you truly had one and going into disbelief.
Critique Islam intelligently or seek knowledge first. But do not insult its wisdom while hiding behind ethnicity or misrepresented “faith.” The Prophet ﷺ warned: “Beware! Whosoever introduces into this matter of ours (Islam) something that does not belong to it, it will be rejected.” (Sahih Bukhari 2697). Shariah is the blueprint: justice, morality, equity, compassion, and accountability are non-negotiable. Those who argue otherwise without understanding only reveal their ignorance. The lesson is clear: faith over family, justice over prejudice, knowledge over opinion. Islam’s guidance is timeless; tribalism and ignorance are not. Choose wisely whom you follow.
This is the translation of the prayer for those who don’t understand Arabic:
Oh Allah, grant us peace in Nigeria.
Oh Allah, grant peace to the Muslims in Nigeria.
Oh Allah, deal with Boko Haram, kidnappers, abductors, thieves, transgressors, the corrupt, the oppressors, and the arrogant.
Seize them with the seizure of One All-Mighty, All-Powerful.
Purify Nigeria from them and from their evils.
Amin 🙏🙏😢
The Angel of Death will then emit a cry so terrifying that if the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth were alive, they would die from its horror. He will pass away, and Allah alone will remain. He will then fold the heavens and the earth like a scroll and cry out into the absolute silence:
لِّمَنِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ
'Li-manil-mulkul-yawm?'
"To whom belongs the kingdom today?"
No one will answer Him.
He will answer Himself, saying:
لِلَّهِ ٱلۡوَٰحِدِ ٱلۡقَهَّارِ
'Lillahil-Wahidil-Qahhar.'
"To Allah, the One, the Irresistible."
Recorded by Al-Tabari in his Tafsir, Al-Bayhaqi in Kitab al-Ba'th, and Ibn Kathir]
Abu Hurairah reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was speaking to us when he said:
"When Allah finished creating the heavens and the earth, He created the Trumpet (al-Sur) and gave it to Israfil. He placed it to his mouth...
turned his gaze toward the Throne, waiting for when he would be commanded to blow it."
Abu Hurairah asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the Trumpet?"
He said, "It is a massive horn made of light."
He continued, describing the final blast of death:
"Then Allah will command Israfil to blow the Blast of Terror (Faza')... and every living creature in the heavens and the earth will swoon and die, except those whom Allah wills.
Then, the Angel of Death will come to Allah, the Almighty, and say:
'O my Lord, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth have died, except those whom You wished to spare.'
Allah will ask; though He knows best, 'Who is left?'
The Angel of Death will reply, 'O Lord, there remains You, the Ever-Living Who never dies, and there remains Gabriel, Michael, Israfil, and the bearers of Your Throne.'
Allah will say, 'Let Gabriel, Michael, and Israfil die, and let the bearers of the Throne die.'
Then the Angel of Death will come back and say, 'O Lord, they have all perished.'
Allah will ask again, 'Who is left?'
He will reply, 'O Lord, there remains only You, the Ever-Living Who never dies, and myself, Your weak servant.'
Allah will then command: 'O Angel of Death, you are a creature from My creation. I created you for a purpose, and you have fulfilled it. Now, die!'
