Please, can't we use our God-given intellect to save Humanity from the Wrath of the Avenger (al-Muntaqim)? We are obsessed with the limited time in this Transitory World & possessed with the illusion of supremacy. Stop! Reconsider. Think. Reflect on these Three Grand Revelations,
It might be said that from the Islamic point of view creation and revelation are inseparable and that there are, in-fact three grand revelations: the cosmos, the human state, and religions—all three of which Islam sees as “books.”
There is, first of all, the cosmic book to be read and deciphered. Then there is the inner book of the soul, which we carry within ourselves. And finally, there are sacred scriptures, which have been sent by God through His Mercy to guide humanity throughout the ages and
which are the foundations of various religions and keys for reading the other two books, that of the cosmos and that of the soul. —Seyyed Hossein Nasr
O the most affectionate One, the Generous, we acknowledged your favours upon us, save us from our evil and sins, for one forgives sins except You. Ameen.
Whatever we are advocating for, #ClimateCrisis, #NoWar, #Peace or #PeaceNotWar, let's #saveHumanity. Thanks to @davidattenburro, @GretaThunberg and @GeorgeMonbiot for highlighting the clear and present danger we are facing, the destruction of our immediate environment.
@davidattenburro @GretaThunberg @GeorgeMonbiot @daltonnyuphilo1 Assalamu alaikum. My sincere regards to our father and teacher. May we have peace with our God, with our self and with our environment.

Glory be to the One on Whom our souls are in His Hands, avert the Fitnah (temptation, trial; sedition, civil strife, conflict) that we are in. Don't forsake us because of our evil or sins. No one with a conscience wants to see his fellow countrymen in great pain and sorrow.
Our reality indeed is truly excruciating.

“I believe that the world ought to be governed by some morals, no matter what you call it. Without it, I think a chaotic state will ensue. This may be in the form of religion or some form of accepted norm-whatever.
“It must be accepted norms of behaviour.” — Abubakar Gimba

O #Nigerians, we cannot ignore the reality that we need each other… yes, history and geography were imposed on us, but we can liberate ourselves through science and technology, the age we are now celebrating.

A new English translation of the noble Qur’an is nearing completion. Translated by Imam Muhammad al Asi, and published by the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought it aims to develop a new Qur’anic generation to bring about the requisite change in Muslim societies. Image
The noble Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah (Qur’anically compatible actions of the noble Messenger) provide the foundational principles to guide Muslims in their journey through this world. As the eternal word of Allah, the Qur’an encapsulates the complete set of principles that
allows social beings to fulfil their mission on earth and guide them on a path to Allah, their ultimate destination.

While emphasizing that truth is from Allah, He has given human beings the choice to accept or reject it (18:29). Choices, however, carry consequences. Those that

As-salāmu ‘Alaykum, Ya Shaykh @profmaqari. My name is Muslim A Mahmood. Please we need your contribution to the Qur'anic Project initiated by Dr Muzzafar Iqbal. The project is on the Integrated Encyclopedia of the Qurʾān (IEQ) which draws on
a wide range of traditional Muslim sources, including exegeses, Hadith collections and commentaries, classical lexicons, biographical dictionaries, universal histories, works of jurisprudence, Prophetic biographies, and treatises on spiritual and moral psychology—some of which
have never before been presented in any encyclopedic work in a Western language.
But the main hurdle is the lack of Muslim scholars who can produce IEQ type text. If you know some, please ask them to contribute by writing any of the available entities (letters D onwards) also.

@ArewaPeople “Governor Ganduje has humiliated the north. He has desecrated the revered emirate mystique of northern Nigeria. This nuisance may continue until Almajiris turns Emirs to lapdogs. Babangida started it, Abacha joined in 1996, Obasanjo and Aliero took it to another
“level in 2005. These men are former Presidents. Now a Governor is threatening an emir as though he is a councillor. Soon a local government chairman will depose the Emir of Bauchi, and soon again road transport workers will banish an Emir of Daura. Ganduje is sowing the seeds
and it will germinate very soon” — @ObinnaAkukwe
