It is permitted to take the Janābah bath with soap (and sponge). This can be done through either of the following two ways:

* The bathwater can be mixed with soap (liquid or powdered) and then used to take the Janābah bath. (This is debatable. The majority of the scholars
oppose its use while Abū Hanīfah, Ahmad in one of his two views & which is the stand of Ibn Taimiyah permit it.). The view of permissibility is stronger in proof but the view of impermissibility is safer. (وقول الجمهور أحوط، وإن كان القول بجواز التطهر به أقوى في الدليل
* The sexually defiled person can rub soap on his body and then take the Janābah bath while washing the soap off his body. (This is permitted by all).

On the other hand, one may choose to take the Janābah bath first before resorting to using soap to take his usual bath,

1. Your parents raised me from birth because I lost mine. They treated me like their own. They hired a nanny to breastfeed me so I didn't suckle your mother's breasts. All these happened while they were still barren. Later, Allāh blessed them with children of their own.
2. You and your siblings were born into my hands. You all grew up seeing me as your elder bro. In fact, I bathed all of you as kids & prepared you for school. You turned out to be a very beautiful, religious and well-behaved lady. I was still without a wife. So I proposed to you.
3. Shocked, you exclaimed: How can you propose to your own sister?! That's incest!!! I sat you down and explained to you how we are not related by blood and how we do not fall under those not permitted by the Sharī'ah to marry.

Our Situation Today

وقع حجر على ذيل ثعلب فقطع ذيله .

A stone fell on a fox’s tail and severed it.

فرآه ثعلب آخر فسأله لم قطعت ذيلك ؟ قال له إني أشعر بسعادة وكأني طائر في الهواء يالها من متعة .

When another fox saw him, he asked, why did you severe your tail? He replied:
I feel happiness (without the tail). I feel like I’m flying in the air. What a great delight it is!

فجعله يقطع ذيله ! فلما شعر بألم شديد ولم يجد متعة مثله ، سأله : لما كذبت عليّ ؟

So the second fox cut his own tail, but rather than find it pleasurable like his friend said,
he felt sharp and excruciating pains. Turning to his friend, he asked, why did you lie to me?

قال : إن أخبرت الثعالب بألمك لن يقطعوا ذيولهم وسيسخرون منا

He replied, if you inform other foxes about the pain, they will not cut their tails and will make mockery of us.

One of the obligatory duties upon every sincere Muslim is to not make aby statement or take any action except that he knows the injunction of Allāh on it. It is on this basis that Allāh commands thus:

فَسۡـئَلُوۡۤا اَهۡلَ الذِّكۡرِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ
"So ask those who possess knowledge if you do not know." (16:43)

This is why eminent scholars of Hadīth like Al-Bukhārī رحمه الله among others have a chapter dedicated for this purpose. It reads:

بَابٌ: العِلْمُ قَبْلَ القَوْلِ وَالْعَمَلِ

Chapter: (The obligation of seeking)
knowledge before making statements and performing actions.

قال الأخضري المالكي في مقدمته: ولا يحل له أن يفعل فعلا حتى يعلم حكم الله فيه، ويسأل العلماء، ويقتدي بالمتبعين.

Al-Akhdarī, the Mālikī jurist wrote in the introduction of his work:

"It is not permitted for him (Muslim)

Nupeland is a theatre of charade & shenanigans. Perhaps one of the catalysts for the pervasive absurdities in Nupeland is the Sūfī's unnecessary emphasis on, nay exaggeration of the concepts of wilāyah & karāmāt, & their inability to differentiate between the latter & sorcery.
As a Muslim & researcher, I totally believe in the concepts of wilāyah & karāmāt. However, I have a problem with the fact that Sūfīs tend to have monopolized these concepts & arrogated to their acclaimed saints the power to exhibit karāmāt almost to the exclusion of others.
Allāh defines his awliyā in the Qur'ān as:

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ

"The ones who believe and are God-fearing." (10:63)

Thus, the criteria to be a waliyullāh are: Īmān (faith) and Taqwā (piety) and this is open to every Muslim.

One of the most unfortunate things about Nupeland is that the things we proudly celebrate as culture are acts of Shirk, Kufr and grave sins. I will pick just three examples:

i. Ndakogboya (Masquerades) are remnants of widespread Shirk in Nupeland and are till date featured in
our movies, annual Sallah celebrations, coronations as well as other important events. This culture of disbelief is so common with us that the Yoruba will taunt us saying, "So audacious is the Tapa man that he erected a house for his masquerade." Religiously, and over 90% of
Nupes are Muslims, this ugly tradition amounts to Shirk and should have been abandoned long ago with the entry and spread of Islām in Nupeland. Sadly, it is still promoted by rulers and elites of Nupeland as though Islām permits it. Were Shaykh Uthmān Dan Fodio alive today,
