What women can not humanly do does not exist.
My wife gave birth to our first son yesterday and today, she has successfully defended her Msc in Architecture thesis.
A mother.
A master of Architecture.
I Stan!
Married sisters, let me talk to you directly this morning. Your sisters that are coming over to your house to sleep are Amanah to you. When they are at your house, do not let them do what you know your parents will not approve of. That will be a betrayal of conditions and trust
If by posting this you are trying to make a joke then the joke is on you. You would never have posted your own picture without make up. And guess what? Allah created us in the best of forms. That's enough for her to glow.
The insults on Northerners is really starting to get out of hand. What part of Democracy is it that the so called educated southerners don't understand that they can't come to terms & respect people's choice? It's shamefully ironic that they can't see the folly in their remarks.
I don't know this boy but I have strong feeling his mother is an amazing woman.
A Qur'anic teacher can only do his best, but a mother seals the deal.
His accurate pronunciations can not be achieved over night.
I see a boy whose mother did her homework well when he was 4-8yrs.
Please say a prayer for the gentle soul of our Mother, Hajia Mariyatul-Qibdiyyah Baba-Ahmed who passed away in the early hours of dawn. She's lived an exemplary life and leaves with us many lessons and virtues. It is our prayer and hope that she's accepted into Jannah!
I genuinely believe Nigeria would have gotten the best of Buhari if he had become President in 2003 when he was much younger and needed less support from supposedly "corrupt" politicians and the "west" to become president.
I've keenly observed the pattern of rain in Kaduna for the past decade and I've never seen a year in which this amount of rain fell in the month of April.
The only conclusion I can come to is: the Merciful is sending down His Mercy to ease things for us in this holy month.
The death of my father taught me that when you lose a loved one, the first and foremost thing on your mind will be to see them put safely in their resting place.
There were debates within the family as to where he willed to be buried. Which caused arguments and ultimately delay
During Iftar today, discussion came to the point I was encouraged to marry a wife that knows how to cook. Examples of good cooks in the family were made.
I said: But it's not a woman's religious responsibility to cook. Why are we stressing?
Their facial reactions was glorious!
We have to talk about the practice of conveying bride along with her bridesmaids in the dead of night by the groom's friends to her matrimonial home and the out-of-fashion sleeping over of bride's friends. All this happen with little to no policing from elders and open doors...
5 Reasons Why Trending End Northern Banditry Couldn't Come at a More Ill-Thought Time:
1. It's a pure show of ingenuity and lacks originality.
2. It's an unnecessary divisionary tactic that can easily make us forget what we're clamouring for.
Push northern news without comparing it to southern news. Keep your head high. Be consistent & diligent in promoting northern news purely in its own rights and merit. Maintain a constant level of energy and determination and see how far you'll go. Comparison isn't good strategy.
This Kano-Kaduna diatribe is totally uncalled for. You really can't compare two cities whose history, heritage, traditions and customs are markedly different. Kaduna is a creation of colonialists while Kano predates even the start of current British Monarch System. Please stop!
Please spare a prayer for the soul of my uncle, Abdulrasheed Baba-Ahmed who died in the early hours of the morning. May Allah forgive his soul and grant him Jannah. We are all greatly saddened and shocked by his death. A friendly, kind and humble man who loved his family dearly.
The best of you is one who learned the Quran and taught it.
The most recited part of the Quran is Al-Fatiha.
Teach as many as you can from it and reap the rewards for a very long term.
But beyond the recitation, learn to live by the lessons contained therein too.
The story of Yadikko, wife to Limamin Kona of Zazzau of the 1920s is very inspiring. A female scholar of excellence. Wrote the Qur'an many times by heart and was an authority in many Islamic sciences. Zaria has always been an educational city and women were not taking back seat.
In the next few years, when people from our generation will be marrying out their children, screening of prospective grooms & brides will be done primarily online. As it is today, the footprints of the parents of the grooms & brides of tomorrow are already all over the internet.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who on this day blessed my wife and I with a baby boy.
May Allah bless and guide him and give us the ability to discharge all responsibilities in accordance to the teachings of the prophet PBUH
Our first COVID-19 case in Kaduna is a rather emotional one. We wish Governor Nasir
@elrufai
a very quick recovery!
We shall continue to obey the health guidelines and ensure the safety of ourselves and the people close to us.
My we see the end of this virus.
This is the time to remind ourselves that bye passing prepaid meters is Haram.
Please let us try to use energy that we paid for.
If you can't afford it, use other alternatives that are Halal.
Let us help ourselves and remind each other please.
Quran 66:6.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Wedding Notification:
This tweet is an official notification/invitation of/to my wedding Fatiha scheduled to take place on the 27th of February, 2021 by 11am prompt at Dogarawa New Layout Zaria.
Your presence, prayers and blessings are appreciated.
In this life ba, don't just marry someone who you love; marry someone who is kind.
My sister's ex husband used to go through the trash can to count how many sachet of pure water was used daily.
Nasihar Mahaifi (A Father's Advice) is a poem written by Mahmoon Baba-Ahmed in Hausa in 1999 and published in his book titled "Dan Hausa" (2001). I'll be sharing a translation of the stanzas into English under this thread.
A thread:
A woman who has been married for 13 years said "I will advice a woman to marry into a family she can be confident they will take care of her children even in her absence".
This is one reason. There are many other.
Buhari had the chance to stop after four years but he still sought reelection. Limited or not, Buhari knew exactly what he was up against and went ahead to 'supervise' a very difficult period for Nigerians. May we never witness a time when the 8 years of Buhari will be preferred.
When sliding into DMs, one should prepare for three distinct scenarios. A welcome acceptance with positive energy, a series of condescendingly dry replies or total lack of response like an email sent to a Nigerian Government owned email address.
Writing is a good way of preserving oneself. Not in the sense that what you have written will be read even after your death. No, by revisiting things you've written a decade ago, you can easily gauge the evolution of your line of thoughts as well as your trajectory in life.
Based on Islamic teaching, refusing to honour an invitation when invited is what can be classified as rude based on every yardstick.
But from where did we arrive at the conclusion that when people honour our invitation and come empty handed makes it rude?
What a commerciality!
An alternative will be: The couple should be married off while their responsibilities be subsidized by those who will ordinarily be responsible for them through the period when they strive to stand on their feet.
In essence, cut off wedding expenses and subsidize marriage.
Instead of being in a Haram relationship for years until you're ready to get married, why not just get married and continue the bf/gf style until you're ready to move in together?
For the lady that thinks asking for one's husband's permission before going out doesn't make sense, her feelings are very likely borne out of the thinking that permissions can only be sought from one's superior.
To her, she's equal to the husband and need not ask for permission.
Telling people to leave halal due to the shame that such halal brings is an act of prime incivility.
Anything that is Halal can not and will not be shameful.
If Allah Has not clearly prohibit something, never allow anyone into blackmailing you that it is shameful.
Behind all the glowing skins, filters and massive followers are normal girls with distinct fears, insecurities, moderate ambitions and an understandable need to be loved. It's all a facade. Learn to see through it all.
The man's decision to marry his wife's house help is as halal as her decision to seek a termination of the marriage. Neither is her decision to enter into another marriage as a third wife otherwise.
Having agreed on these important pillars, let us proceed to the fringes of it.
Absolutely.
And better when faced with “the better halal”. Halal to divorce, better to be patient. Halal to retaliate, better to be patient. Halal for women to go to mosque, better to pray at home. Halal to pursue halal, better to pursue the halal that brings more ease & maslaha
3 ways to look at this:
1. Good people are for good people.
2. A decline in this generation's quality of women is an indication of the quality of men.
3. The way a mother loves her child is not the same way she loves her husband. You tweeted from the perspective of a child.
Our fathers are really lucky with women. They got married to the best of them and all our generation have today are the laziest women in history, debating whether or not to serve their husbands right. We are really the most unlucky generation with women
The God I worship is the One True God. I bear witness that there is no God but He and that Muhammad is his messenger and the seal of prophets. He works in very very mysterious, but marvelous ways. All praise be to He, Lord of the Worlds!
Alhamdulillah. Thanks to everyone who collectively put their effort and time to make my wedding Fatiha a success. The solidarity and effective coordination was unprecedentedly smooth. I am immensely grateful. Now, we kindly beseech your prayers as we begin a cardinal chapter.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.

Anyone with knowledge of life in rural Northern Nigeria knows the level of peace and tranquility they enjoy so much that the fear of anyone coming in to kidnap their children is almost non-existent. Communal living and brotherhood keeping is evidently high in these areas.
The number of Quran reciters with excellently beautiful recitations we have in Nigeria is amazing. Thoroughly and absolutely amazing. May Quran be reason for us and not a reason against us on the day of Judgement.
Someone was speaking English to my son earlier today and I told the person that my son does not speak English. The person looked surprised.
I am not bothered at all about speaking to a toddler in English.
He will be a good English speaker & writer last last.
I am not moved.
There are different levels of friendship. One of the highest is one that involves actively helping and pushing each other towards goodness in the deen.
Husbands of sisters, do not sit down and watch while your house is being used as a funnel for all sorts of clandestine activities. That will also be an extended betrayal of trust of your in-laws.
May Allah continue to guide us right. Ameen.
These adverts of train ticket for sale I'm seeing don't sit well with me. e-ticketing was introduced to solve the problem of racketeering, yet here we are condoning racketeers among us. If you know you're not going to use or sell the e-ticket reasonably, don't book it. Act right.
My eleven year old cousin is diagnosed with leukemia. A very beautiful, lively and respectful girl now battling with a very chronic ailment. Please include her in your prayers. May Allah make it easy for her, loved ones and grant her quick recovery. Thank you.
To be loved by a fellow human is a huge blessing from One who created you both.
I genuinely believe we as humans, in our most crude form are unlovable and unworthy of any adorations but God chose to cloak the eyes of those who see us in the purest prisms --that is-- love.
As a Muslim, the first thing that shall be checked from your deeds in the grave is your Prayers. It's the second pillar of Islam and one that separates us from other faiths.
I have a book shared by a friend detailing the steps and rulings of how to perform a Salah.
Guys that carry gists of everything that happens between them and a lady and spread around, what's there purpose in life? Sad to note that most of the talkers are even liars. Doers don't talk.
One of the biggest disservice you can do to yourself is to write off a person for his present bad deeds or gauge him by his immoral past. The fluidity of this world should humble us all. The pedestal you're on is not as stable as you think it is.
Submission to the religion of Islam is not a buffet that you can pick what you want and leave what you do not like. Belief in Allah in the abstract sense is not enough if it's not accompanied by other articles of faith. One must submit 100 percent to the doctrines.
#YQGems
The economic situation in Nigeria has started pushing northern parents who shelter jobless youths in their houses to have a rethink.
The time of keeping youths who add no financial value to households will in a matter of years be completely phased out in northern Nigeria.
May your prayers be answered
May your sins be forgiven
May you be protected
May your wishes be granted
May your life be revitalized
May your health be boosted
May your wealth be sustained
May your faith be steadfast
May your knowledge increase
May Allah accept you.
One of the best things you'll hear today I promise you.
Grab your headphones
Close your eyes
And relive these lines.
Recitation of my poem "Colours of Sunset" by
@Qalbus_Saleem
.
When a person begins telling you things about other people, resist the temptation of adding to the conversation. There are high chances, what you say will be the leverage he or she will use to get back at you with the person they were talking about. People talk to make you talk.
The sheer amount of fake edibles circulating our markets is incredible. It is by the special grace of Allah that we are still alive and breathing. Subhanallah!
To write, you have to read
To think, you have to know
To give, you have to have
To learn, you have to experience
To understand, you have to reason
To try doing either without the other is crass stupidity.
I am tired of seeing this baseless statistics.
It connotes two things:
1. Our parents are uneducated which is a huge insult.
2. It directly promotes the idea that western education is the only form of education.
Dead it.
5. A win for a cause which originated from the south is not a loss for the North. It's a win for Nigeria.
Let's for once unite our voices in demanding Nigeria and its Government work for her people.
I can not bring myself to write a bad review on a hotel I've never been to.
I'm calling on all those doing it to ponder on the implications of bearing false witness.
This is strongly frowned upon in Islam.
If Allah has blessed you with the zeal of praying on time, you should be very grateful for that blessing and strive even harder to maintain it.
If you're having difficulty praying on time and feel bad about it, hope is not lost. You can always channel your guilt as motivation.
Why are love poems more common and easiest to write? Because love is God's blessing to Man and God's blessings are free and easy to enjoy. May the Love you seek find you and may the love we have continue to grow and take us closer to He who gifted by his Will and Might.
Why is it that the guys a lady has no feelings for are always the ones doing the right things? Why can't the girls fall in love with them over the nice things? Why do guys that have a girls heart misbehave? Why can't the love she has for them make them act right? Why? Why? Why?
PDA with your spouse in the privacy of your home and in the presence of a select trusted friends and family is one thing, but any one of them that records it and post on social media, with or without the consent of the spouses is and will stand to be condemned.
Let me try to explain this tweet from the general perspective of the northern household settings and why what Rukks is saying is not something to openly brag about on a platform such as this.
A thread?
Day 7 of 7, Quranic Verse.
We do not choose whom we share blood with or whom among us is rich or poor. Let those who are rich give out first to their closest kins and others in need. There are people who never ask even when in need. Identify them and reach out to them.
Death:
Created to test us so we may do good.
Death:
Comes unannounced and on time.
Death:
Certain, fixed and ubiquitous.
Death:
Severer of life and enjoyment.
Death:
A cloth, we all shall wear.
Death:
The beginning of the end.
Death:
Rest or turmoil.
Live well now.
