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.
By understanding the historical forces operating around us, we need not worry about historical necessity. Only a revolutionary ideology can provide a way of escape from the social and class structure. Ultimately, the individual (self) is compounded of divine and satanic elements,
of good and evil; each individual must choose between them.

“A society that does not read—and for it to read it must first write—is a society on its way to the cruel dungeon of poverty, ignominy, and irrelevance!” — Abu Maimuna

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

May my life be a sacrifice for all creation for the sake of the Merciful Lord. Supremacy, authority and power belong to the Almighty and All-Aware Creator alone. What is the ultimate reward man will ever desire? Tell me. To seek His Countenance. Then what has lured us away from
His Graciousness? What then has made us transgressed all bounds? I humbly appeal to the collective consciousness of Humanity to accept the One and Only God: God the Eternal, the Uncaused Cause of All Being. He begets not, and neither is He begotten, and there is nothing that
could be compared with Him.

Please, Man, stop the senseless madness with impunity. O the Lord of Majesty and Glory this is my humble appeal to Your servants. Yours, O Lord, is the Greatness.
