I will say this once and those who have relatives in rural Arewa should please advise them. Most of our local attacks are facilitated by local conspirators who seek personal gain from criminal elements. If you betray your community’s interests to work with any agent of fitnah,..
...you do not deserve to be part of that community again. The rest of us need to comprehend that well and stop protecting criminal relatives, bribing the police and DSS. You are accomplices to the destruction of a whole society. Fear the Last Day.
“O you who believe, stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve,...
...and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do." Q.4:135

I landed in Nigeria when I was just entering my 20s, naive, without friends or familiarity here. My first experience the night I arrived was an armed robbery in Lagos. Since then, I found a safe harbour in the NorthWest, at that time a very tranquil and peaceful place...
...The lush greenery of the hills and valleys during rainy season, the budding mangoes everywhere, the adorable grains storage huts in every village, the happy children playing in the streets without worry, the noise and unassuming power of the women who held up their families..
...The people embraced me as their own and before too long my work setting up a Care Fund sent me deep into the hinterlands where, with a team of young men, we provided hundreds of wells and then expanded to water tanks in impoverished urban areas...

Interesting what some people believe a “devout Muslim” is and how scared they are of the definition they create in their own minds. This also applies to the meanings many ascribe to the wearing of a hijab. Now, is one to be less “devout” becoz of someone else’s imagination? ...
...Both Muslims and non-Muslims misattribute outward religiosity to piety. Many are eloquent reciters, charismatic speakers, popular demagogues, immaculate dressers and keen bearers of religious paraphernalia, but it doesn’t go beyond the surface or their throats...
...Having commitment to faith is more than what we show for recognition or sentimental attachments. It is a commitment to keep turning to the Divine in all situations, a commitment to introspection and connection even when we feel like throwing in the towel, a commitment to...

Back in my university days abroad, I led a Muslim students’ association from a store we converted into a prayer area. Some of the most helpful brothers who majored in Economics and IT, as well as a postgrad lecturer in Management used to idolise the Mujahideen of Afghanistan...
...The fighters had successfully pushed back the Soviet invasion and for a while had the US on their side, fuelling them with arms just as they did the rebels in Syria. The internal politics of Afghan tribal wars were not known to the brothers. They daydreamed about the glory...
...of being fighters who saved Muslim people from religious annihilation as they saw it. They dreamed such victories could also save Palestinians and others they saw as oppressed against the geopolitical imperialism of both modern capitalism and communism...

I have a mallam so dear to my heart because he is so humble, hardworking, punctual, responsible, diligent, generous with his time, kind to animals, keeps young people close to help them stick with their prayers and have hope in life, the list goes on. He is not the first born...
...but takes on all the responsibilities of the first born that his father and siblings rely on his support. He spends all he has on others and doesn’t have enough to publish his own books that he wants to give away free. We think that perhaps he should just open a YouTube...
...channel and then teach others through that instead of trying to publish books many in younger generations might not read. Can anyone support him with equipment and editing to get him started?

I find it interesting that Sh. Gumi says nomadic youth are expressing grievances about not receiving a functional education & not being placed into schools. If we asked almajiri children also about what they desire for their lives, I am sure they too may wish to be included...
We are reaping the dividends of successive failures to engage our youth, give them a sense of belonging and provide them with opportunities for life success. We stereotype and generalise them, we accuse them of criminal intents for protesting against brutality...
...We make everything out to be about politics when most youth just want to thrive, be free and be happy. We fail to acknowledge the intergenerational trauma of feeling excluded or collectively punished for the political actions of a few...
