If you’re African and you don’t know about Sheikh Uthman dan Fodio, you’re missing one of the most powerful stories in Islamic history 🧵

He wasn’t just a scholar.
He led one of the most successful Islamic revivals in Africa, based on knowledge, justice, and piety 2/
Born in 1754 in Gobir (modern-day northern Nigeria), Uthman dan Fodio was a Fulani scholar of the Maliki school and Qadiri Sufi order.

From a young age, he mastered the Qur’an, Hadith, Fiqh, Arabic, and spiritual purification (tazkiyah).

His heart belonged to Allah, not dunya. 🕊️

After reading comments under a tweet on about how a Muslim woman isn’t allowed to marry a Christian man & for a Muslim man, isn’t advisable to marry a Christian woman due to possible arising issues. Let me make it clear to to every christian, Jew, pagan, atheists etc out there… What u think about Islam doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t really have to make sense to you. Y’all don’t even know your religion why talking about others?. You cnt find Muslims doing that. Islamic knowledge isn’t like western education, google cn never make u educated about Islam

Feels like my first time listening to this Surah😭. #Bestformofreminder

AN IMPORTANT THEAD TO STUDENTS OF QURAN 👇👇👇

Hifdh(Memorization) advice by Ustadh Abdur Rahman Hassan حفظه الله 1. Use the same Mushaf (copy of the Quran) throughout your Hifdh journey as this will solidify your memorisation.

2. Read to a teacher who is Mutqin (very well-versed and qualified) and not only corrects your Hifdh but your pronunciation of letters and Tajweed.
