The tides of public condemnation have been relentless upon Abdulrahman, the young man whose hands were stained with the gruesome murder of Hafsah in Ilorin. For weeks, he has been the subject of scorn, abandoned by those who once stood beside him, rejected by his own circle, and cursed by voices that once resonated with his own beliefs. His crime is vile, despicable, and demands justice. No sane person would excuse it. But as this sacred month of Ramadan approached, the month of mercy, the month of Rahmah, I began to ponder, that we must ask ourselves: what is the intent of Allah in exposing a criminal? Is it for utter destruction? Is it for permanent rejection? Is there no pathway back to redemption? Yes, the wheels of justice must turn. Yes, Abdulrahman may be condemned to execution in line with the law of Qisas. But before that inevitable fate, should we not offer him the one thing that Islam extends even to the gravest of sinners, the door of Tawbah? We have all seen th...

  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...

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 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- ) 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 ...
