The Politics of the Moon: Rabitah’s Quest for Division Disguised as Unity

Image
  The Politics of the Moon: Rabitah’s Quest for Division Disguised as Unity By Adebisi Olaide Idris In recent weeks, a new controversy has emerged within the Muslim community in Nigeria, particularly in Yoruba land. The League of Ulama and Imams, led by Rabitah, has declared that they will determine the start of Ramadan using astrological calculations. Their Mufti has claimed that their findings place the beginning of Ramadan, March 1st.  They base this on the opinion of some scholars and an interpretation of Hadith by Abdullah Ibn Abbas, arguing that the key factor in determining the start of Ramadan is the birthing of the new moon rather than its sighting. On the surface, this might seem like an effort to bring about unity among Muslims by ensuring that all start fasting on the same day using scientific methods. However, a closer look reveals a more dangerous agenda—one that could further divide Nigerian Muslims rather than unify them. Robito, which has historically been a f...

NEO- SALAFISM 1990 BY DR. ADESINA NURUDEEN

  Dr. Adesina Nurudeen wrote:  Chronicles of the modern day Neo-Salafism( Salafi 1990) 1. 1960s to 1980s A period of powerful social and political reforms across Muslim world including Saudi Arabia known as Sahwa al Islamiyyah (Islamic awakening) 2. 1980s- The Sahwa principle echoes as Ψ§Ω„Ψ₯Ψ³Ω„Ψ§Ω… Ψ―ΩŠΩ† ΩˆΨ―ΩˆΩ„Ψ© and influenced by Muslim brotherhood methodologies produced a strong and impressive approach that succeeded in attracting the youth and revolutionising Saudi society. 3. 1980s - Sahwa focused on building pride in the Muslim identity and a sense of responsibility towards Muslims in Saudi and around the world. This was seen by the Saudi government in positive light, hence had a very good relationship with Sahwa and the brotherhood scholars ( including Sayyid Saabiq, Abubakar Al Jazaairiy and so on). The Sahwa movement also produced scholars like Salman Awdah (Now imprisoned by Saudi Government), Saiful Hawaali and many more. The Sahwa movement benefitted Saudi government and Musl...

THE POWER OF READING

Image
  The Power of Reading I know some people on my CL kept wondering why I suddenly started the propaganda of "Reading Books". Yes! I was overwhelmed with recent experiences and changes looking back. As I reflect on my recent experiences, I am reminded of the profound impact that reading has had on my life. It's not about the number of books I've read, but about the lessons I've learned and the changes I've undergone. TBH, I felt so emotional. I've come to realize that setting goals isn't just about finishing a book, but about applying the knowledge and insights gained from it. As an educationist, I've noticed a shift in my approach to teaching, from being theoretical to being more practical. I attribute this transformation to the books I've read, which have empowered me to navigate and teach various subjects effectively. One particular experience that stands out was when I worked on a project called Universal Tutors with some friends. Despite bei...

My Personal Journey in Retaining the Qur'an (Still in the Journey -Smiles- )

Image
  My Personal Journey in Retaining the Qur'an (Still in the Journey -Smiles- ) I will always believe that one of the most effective methods to prevent forgetting the Qur’an is through understanding it. As in, premium and comprehensive understanding. Being busy with life’s countless responsibilities, academic pressures, work, personal commitments, while also trying to retain the over 77,000 words of the Qur’an no be beans. Most of us battle with this challenge. Despite the best efforts to revise, do muroojaha back to back, mistakes still occur, especially with the mutashabihaats (my ustadhs are probably looking me with one kin eye as they read this, MashaAllah. They have tried so much and I ask Allah to reward them abundantly). I experienced this challenge myself until I discovered a transformative solution that works for me: Tafsir.   From a young age, memorization came easily to me. My teachers often commented on my photographic memory. But as I grew older, this ability ...
