The attacks of @DrIsaPantami are entirely as a result of HATRED FOR ISLAM & MUSLIMS, no more no less. It is simply Islamophobia at play. Many of them have stated it clearly that a conservative Muslim (in another word, someone who practice Islam very well) should never hold any
place in our government. This is simply the idea. But then, they all agree that a high ranking Christian like Pastor @ProfOsinbajo can be a Vice President in the same "secular" Nigeria, attend Churches where the Podiums he use there are even if the office of the VP, and it is OK.
Believe me, the moment we allow these cheap blackmails & attacks on Islãm continues, a day will come where a Muslim cannot even be allowed to live in Nigeria. We can't be bullied in this country because of our religion & how we practice it.
You can't bully anyone, because you do not have what it takes. #PantamiWillStay, he has our support and you can't do anything about it.
Let me set the record straight again. The narrative they all struggled to push down our throats was that @DrIsaPantami was a terrorist on the US Watchlist. When we rejected that, they started calling for him to be listed, by sharing some videos
which I have once mentioned in my article (oneheartnaija.com/2021/04/16/dr-…) on this entire drama as his opinion, cut from parts of lectures or talks he delivered some years ago.
All we have been saying, as you can see from the conclusion of the above article, is that "Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami is not what these underlings and propaganda dogs want the world to believe. He is human, and he makes mistakes. But linking him to any form of Terrorism or ties
_We were taking a walk when my good friend (Auwal Salga) asked me how many verses of the Qur'an I was memorizing daily._
I told him one ayah (verse) a day.
"Ha! That's not much!" He said.
So I asked him how many he was memorizing. The answer was zero, zilch, nada.
(Although my friend meant well.)
Yes, I memorize only one ayah a day and I'm old enough to ignore those who want me to memorize more because it doesn't work, at least, it doesn't work for me.
You need a lot of discipline to do it, & I lack that kind of discipline.
I've tried a page a day before. It didn't work. I even tried three verses a day. It didn't work.
However, I enjoy one ayah a day. Sometimes, when a verse is too long, I break it up & tackle it in 2 days.
A drowning man will clutch at a Straw, says a Chinese Proverb, and that is what this entire laughable attacks on @DrIsaPantami looks like right now. If the purveyors of mischief & hate won't surrender, how can we surrender?
At first, the allegations were cooked lies about his enlistment with a certain US Watch List. That turns out to be untrue, & even calls to the US Department denied that. Then, the fears that some of them have attracted legal battle to themselves threw them into looking for soft
landings. Then, they begin to dig into his past political positions & lectures or presentations that run into thousands, only to pick places that can please their huge but empty followership. When they saw different responses from True & concerned Nigerians against that,
O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not increase My Kingdom an iota.
O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease My Kingdom an iota . O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you,
and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I Possess, except what is decreased of the ocean when a needle is dipped into it.
Here are 8 Muslim women we can learn a lot from their lives & draw so much strength from; from their diverse experiences, expertise, commitment to the religion & the values they have added to the world & scholarship.
Thread.
1. Nafisah bint al-Hasan;
Nafisah bint al-Hasan became so knowledgeable in Hadith, that Imam al-Shafi'i sought to learn from her. She was coined "Nafisatul-'ilm" (the gem of knowledge) before she had even hit puberty! She was a fountain of knowledge & a great woman.
2. Fatimah al-Fihri;
After her father & husband passed away, Fatiah inherited a huge amount of money. She was not interested in money, & decided to spend her wealth for the sake of Allah. She built a large masjid & included a library to encourage knowledge and scholarship.
Anytime we call for a Better Nigeria, let us remember to call for Better Nigerians. We are the instruments for every misdoing, corruption & misappropriations that made Nigeria what is it today. How many of us can swear that they have never stolen or taken anything from
public wealth under their watch? How many of us can swear that they have never aided someone to corner some monies belonging to the Nation, or assisted someone in doing what he or she knows is wrong? How many of us out of the 200 Million Nigerians we are?
Our leaders are a reflection of ourselves, in many cases worse. You give someone a Contract to renovate an apartment for you while you are abroad. He made the estimates, sent the list to you and you wired the money to his account out of trust. He lied. He cheated.
