Generational decisions

Do not be selfish when making certain decisions in life. It's not about satisfying your own desires alone. Your ancestors made decisions that you're probably benefiting from today. A decision made today might not make or break only you but your offspring and lineage to come. I have highlighted the three most important decisions to greatly consider before making;

1. Marriage: A woman is an institution on her own. Her character and personality affects the children more than you. Marrying a good woman from a great family ensures good offspring and lineage by the will of Allah. She's a vessel that will preserve your existence on earth. Do not marry a wretched lady from an immoral and shameless family.

2. Religion: This is a trust kept with you by those before you. A wrong decision could condemn an entire generation into jahanam for eternity!

3. Dignity: The name you are proud to bear today was preserved by your family. Do not stain it. Those before you lived with honor. Do not put to shame those coming after you.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May he be miserable, the worshipper of the dinar and dirham, and the worshipper of the striped silk cloak. If he is given anything, he is satisfied; but if not, he is unsatisfied" [Al-Bukhari]

A rolling stone gathers no moss

In our society, something is terribly changing. Commitment to marriage and family values. Change is good for some things we do, not everything. Even at that, constant change prevents stability. The rate at which marriages are crashing among us is alarming. Some will like to blame it on poverty (this is largely true) while others blame men for high-handedness (sometimes over exaggerated). I would like to look at it from another angle.

Daughters are adorable and wonderful. I know because I have four of them. The bond between a father and his daughter is something one can't explain. Yet, men have a broader role in turning these little damsels into loveable wives in the future. How do you do that?

1. Do not over pamper: Flogging your daughter might not be appropriate but scold her when she does something wrong. Let her be used to being corrected when wrong and rewarded or praised when she did something right. Her future husband who you want to be a responsible man will correct and appreciate her be that as it may. If she grew up thinking correction is humiliation, that marriage might not last.

2. House chores: I do not believe that house chores are for females alone. Anyone who knows me will tell you that till today, I prefer to wash my clothes and iron them. I've also not married a woman who can boast of being a better cook than me. Thanks to my late mum (may Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala overlook her shortcomings and grant her Jannah). However, females must be used to house chores. No man wants to see his house dirty or eat poison. Teach her how to cook, do the dishes, and sweep the floor. It's an honorable thing to do. It beautifies her femininity.

3. Humility: Teach her to know how to say "I'm sorry" whenever she does something wrong. It will assist her more in life apart from marriage.

4. Bashfulness: A woman who is lousy turn most men off. The remaining men who are attracted to such women are either pretending just to get in-between her legs or also morally bankrupt. You can achieve this by limiting how she mixes with the opposite s*x or shut her up when she jumps into a conversation she's not invited to.

5. Contentment: Always train her to manage whatever resources she has at her disposal. This will assist her in the future. A woman who wants it all will never be able to manage a home.

7. Responsibilities: Discuss little problems of yours with her and ask her to advice you. Train her to be a problem solver and not the opposite. This will boost her self-confidence and assist her in being an ASSET and not a LIABILITY to herself and her future husband.

Some people might wonder why I didn't mention religion. I believe we have that and yet, some of our sisters are not marriageable! Why?! Also, despite the trend of having various marriage counseling services today (an act which has failed woefully in the western world where it originated from), there are more divorces than marriages.

Our sisters should calm down. Men want happy homes. Treat him with respect and people will accuse you of using sihr (juju) on him. When you have issues with your husband, the people urging you on to disrespect him will not share their spouse with you. Any financial assistance from them will also dwindle with time. Social media ranting might gain momentum a little bit but it doesn't last long. People have pressing issues they want to attend to. You also put the future of your kids at risk. The Yorubas have a beautiful adage "eniti oba wu eni ni omo e un wuni".

This is a long-term solution. For short term, marry someone who's much older than you. It might sound funny but it is a good advice. I heard a GenZ wrote a post saying older men should chill because she is not interested. Sister, he's probably the only one who will tolerate your excessiveness. As for older women misbehaving in their husbands' house, you need ruqyah.

Four days ago, I was at the filling station to get petrol for my generator. My intention was to buy ten liters (we all know how bad electricity is these days). As I was about to use the filling station's POS, a man approached me holding a five liter jerrycan. "Sir, please fuel finish for my car right now and I don have money to buy fuel" he told me. I immediately told the fuel attendant to put eight liters in my jerrycan and give him two liters. I even told the attendant to sell for him first since it seems to be an emergency. To my utmost surprise, the guy looked at the fuel in his jerrycan and frowned saying "this is too small". I was livid with rage but didn't say anything. I simply picked up my jerrycan and left but heard the attendant telling him to buy more if he's not grateful!

Sense of entitlement is the reason why people don't bother to help those they are not responsible for financially. If those we are responsible for (wives, sons, daughters) are admonished to appreciate and thank their husbands/fathers, I see no reason why someone who I'm not responsible for should feel entitled! I gave you #5,000 but you said it's too small. Do you know how many hours I sat on my system to acquire that? When someone gives you his hard-earned money, he's giving you his time, health, sweat, and labour! Be grateful. E easy na him you no go make your own?!!!!

Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala says in Surah al-A'raf verse 8:وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ف...

Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala says in Surah al-A'raf verse 8:

وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

The weighing on that Day will be just. As for those whose scale will be heavy ˹with good deeds˺, ˹only˺ they will be successful.

Ramadan for the year 1447AH is over. We pray that Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala does not make it our last.

The messenger of Allah said:

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ, ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ اَلدَّهْرِ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever fasts during the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal will be (rewarded) as if he had fasted the entire year." Related by Muslim.

For those who started on Saturday (a day after Eid L Fitr), they will be rounding up today bi idhnillāh. It's better to start early because the body is still adapted to fasting. Do not be among those who will keep asking people "please how many days is Shawwal now?"

May Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala accept our efforts and grant us ease in this world and the next.

This book was inspired by personal experience and an article I published during my MAIS (masters in Islamic studies) days. A powerful book that will expose Muslims to Islamic civilization, the hypocrisy of western/Christianity education and civilization, and importance of applying and being proud of our religion, culture, and educational skills and methodology as Muslims. It also discusses how western education curriculum can be Islamized by Muslim schools and taught by Muslim teachers. The hard copy will be out soon bi idhnillah.

Recently, I heard about the immorality of some kids (boys and girls) studying at a state university in Ilorin. Some of them are as young as 17 years old! They are addicted to two things; drugs and random s*x with different partners. Some of these girls have as many as five to six boyfriends at a time.

1. Parents should know that THE MOST QUIET CHILD IS NOT THE MOST INNOCENT. When I was in the position of an Imam back in Lagos, there was this boy I liked. He doesn't miss any Salah. Five daily prayers at the masjid. He is also the quiet and respectful type. He will greet you every time. I was shocked when I found out that he's an addicted w**d smoker.

2. I know a young sister that uses the hijab and aspired to memorize the Qur'an (she has already finished the recitation with tajw**d). Guess what?! She does hookup at night. Devastating right?

3. A young man was brought to me by his father. He wanted him to study under me because he noticed he has changed recently. I advised the Dad to search his belongings when he's not around. He was crying when he came back to me. Bottles of empty, half-filled, and filled codeine syrup were found in his back. Another devastating evidence is that he was about to be initiated into the black axe (aiye) confraternity!

4. Some concerned members of the masjid came to report a boy to me. That he plays Naira bet. I told his father but he waved it off. Why? He is such an innocent looking boy who goes to halqah with him and spends most of his time at the masjid. The boy later became an errand boy for the Yahoo Yahoo boys in the area. He will lie that he's going to the masjid at night to pray during the month of Ramadan but go to the Cafe to browse.

The list is long. Kids (especially teenagers) rebel. They want freedom and probably want to explore. We were teenagers once. Our era was better because the society will join hands together to admonish you! I was once reported to my parents by a food seller when she saw #20 with me. It's an amount a kid shouldn't have in the 80s. Today the society is morally bankrupt. Parents must double their efforts and pray more. Check on your kids at the university. Let them marry very early. Stop being inferior to the western culture. They are also tired of the chaos and what their society has become. No one wants a failure as a child. Nabiy Nuh never wanted a son that would make him sad but it happened. Parenting is not easy. It's beyond providing food, shelter, and western education. Pray! Pray!! Supplicate to Allah always for righteous offspring.

Furthermore, any parent that says "kids of nowadays/awon omo isin" is a potential bad parent. Nothing changes except time difference. Use the methodology that your parents applied on you on them too. Just avoid starving as a form of punishment. That is the only method I have issues with that our parents used back then. If they do not cry now, they will make you cry and hide your face in shame tomorrow.

May Allah subhānahu wa ta'ala grant us righteous kids that will be the coolness of our eyes. Allāhuma Amin.
