ISLAM CORNER: QUR’AN RECITATION AND ITS SUPERIORITY- TO RECITE THE QUR’AAN QUICKLY AND READ A LOT, OR RECITE SLOWLY, LESS AND PONDER? 

 In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated in Zaadul Ma’aad that the scholars hold a difference of opinion regarding whether it is better to recite the Qur’aan at a slow pace and recite less; or whether to recite fast and recite a lot. After transmitting the different views held by both group of scholars, the Imaam stated that what is correct to say about this affair is that the reward for reciting slowly and pondering (upon its meanings) is of loftier and higher status, and the reward for reciting a lot carries more reward in number.  The first (i.e. reciting slowly and pondering) is like one who gave a tremendous gem (jewel) in charity or frees a slave whose price is very valuable. The second (i.e. the one who recites quickly and a lot) is like one who gives a lot of Daraahim (i.e. money) in charity or frees a number of slaves whose price is expensive. Then the Imaam stated that it has been reported in S...

LETTER TO EDOLITES, AS THEY GO TO THE POLLS

Dear Edo State Indigene,   I want to believe you understand the dividend of democracy, good governance and the role it plays to bring about change in the growth and development of a State. Take a stock of all the past governors with no exceptions to your beloved Chief Lucky Igbenedion, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and Godwin Obaseki; these administrations have never in any way contribute evidently to improve the lives of the people and the GROWTH of Edo Sate.   There is a reason Edo state is called the heart beat of the nation "HEART" beat; meaning the LIVE line of Nigeria, if Edo State is to shut its boarders now, will Nigeria feel any impact? Can we self-sustain ourselves? Will industries feel any form of decline, are we in anyway contributing irreplaceable value to Nigeria's economy? What are we known for? How are we scaling that to improve the lives of the people? There has been a constant increase of graduates from the prestigious ...

NIGERIA TODAY" WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WHAT WENT WRONG? AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR DEAR NATION?

Image
When the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria Was Amalgamated In 1914 by the British colonialists and imperialists, the country Christined Nigeria, despite her numerous contraptions and multi ethnic dimensions, was set on the part of growth and prosperity even when the motives of the imperialists were not in tandem with that of the new nation. The territory called Nigeria, before the demonic Berlin conference of 1884, where Africa was balkanized, was adorned with the strongest kingdoms and empires ever seen by mankind with their own political and indigenous knowledge systems which propelled these autonomous states to enviable heights. The Benin Empire, the Oyo Empire, the Borno Empire, the Saurata Emirates in the North and the Eastern quasi-federal units; where evidence of thriving nations. For forty six years, from 1914 to 1960 when the British held sway, Nigeria was set on a solid foundation economically. The Eastern Railway was built to Port Harcourt between 19...

CHRISTIAN CORNER: WHY YOU MUST KEEP PREPARING

God blesses us through our ability to observe, capture and make the most of opportunities that He brings our ways.  *But what's The Caveat?*  It's how prepared and sharpened your senses of discernment are, that will determine the extent you maximize these opportunities.   *Remember!*  Heb.5.14 - But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  ```Today's challenge```  How prepared and sharpened are your senses of discernment?    *Quote for the day.*  The level to which your senses have been exercised, determines how much strong meat (opportunities ) will belong to you.

RUN YOUR RACE, EVERYTHING MOVE WITH TIME

Image
It is a mistake to think time is going. Time is not going. Time is here until the world ends. It is you that is going. You don’t waste time. Time is infinite. You waste yourself. You are finite. It is you that grows old and die. Time doesn’t. So make better use of yourself before you expire. And one of the worst things to do with time is comparing yourself to others.  A cow eats grass and gets fat but if dog eats grass, it will die. Never compare yourself with others. Run your race. What works for one person may be that which will kill you. Focus on the gifts and talents God gave you and don’t be envious of the blessings He gave others. Both Lion and Shark are professional hunters, but Lion cannot hunt in the Ocean and a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle. That a Lion cannot hunt in the ocean doesn't make him useless and that a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle doesn't also make him useless, both have their own territory where they can do well. If a rose smells better than tomatoes,...

CHRISTIAN CORNER: WHAT IS YOUR CALLING?

Image
Monday! Is the first day of the work week, normally it should be a great day but sadly it's one of the worst day for many people. Why? Most people don't like Mondays because they don't like their jobs. Most people are at their various workplace, simply because they couldn't find something better or because it pays their bills.  Only, very few people in life actually love their jobs and this is the reason for most of the unproductivity we see from most employees. So but why do these people hate their jobs? Because deep inside them, they know this isn't a what they were created for or they were made for more than what they are doing. This emptiness or feeling is the reason why most people don't like their jobs. That's why, you can start with a job but don't end with a job. You need to find your calling. What's the difference between your Job and calling? Your job is what you are paid to do, your calling is what you were made to do. Your job is a me...

ISLAM CORNER: TO RIDICULE A PERSON'S RACE OR COLOUR IS RIDICULING THEIR CREATOR

To Ridicule, a Person’s Race or Colour is Ridiculing Their Creator | Explained by Shaykh Al Albaani Assalamu alaikum Muslim brothers and sisters in Islam. May Allah make our task easier for us Dunya wa Akhirah. Today’s enlightenment will be on racism explained by Shayk Al Albani.  Bismillah  Shaykh Al Albaani: Thus we say this thing is repulsive, while we know it is the creation of Allah. And we know the person who is a created being does not possess in his hand any choice in the matter. Thus however can we find him repulsive? Thus a white man and this occurs amongst the disbelievers will deem a black man to be repulsive; his appearance, his statue, his nose, his lips and the like. And in contrast, perhaps you will find a black man, who deems a white man to be repulsive, declaring him to be a leper; while he is not a leper but rather he is extremely white. Whether it is the white man laughing at and mocking the black man, or the black man laughing at and mocking the white ma...
