I DID NOT PRAY ASR " I had known, yet it is at last", this statement  summarises my situation for indeed, "i had known".     It was a Wednesday evening around 4pm when it all happened, i had escorted tall Maimun and taller Saina to pick a troski back home,  they spent almost the whole day at my residence, we talked a lot, and i don't want to mention this in my current situation, but most of what  we spent our time talking about was other sisters.  We did not only discuss their life,  but we dissected their existence, we talked to till Zuhr. I called them my stunt hijabis and one thing i loved about them was how they took their Islamic practices seriously,  even though i was their friend, we attended all the Islamic lectures together, but i could not reach the bar, i was always, for one reason or the other, slagging. It was due to nothing but laziness, and procrastination on my part. I knew i had time to make  things up with my maker before i ........, after

They say seeing is believing and believing is the basics of trust. I have never seen so to me, hearing, and feeling is believing. But my beliefs hardly lead me to trust. I don't even trust the one who walks me around. It is not that i don't want to believe  in them, i just cant help but doubt,  yet i follow every instruction they give me, for i cannot by myself do something's. whether my clothing's are transparent or opaque,  i cannot help but drag them to all parts of my body. I need to cover everything, i need to hide from you what i have never seen myself. My food i only smell and taste, the aroma of food reaches the nose by itself,  but sometimes i cant trust but take a second smell of my food to believe  this is what i am eating. I heard the imam say in the mosque that,  whatever affliction that befall a person on earth eases his affairs in the hereafter, and that we should in all cases trust and thank the Almighty God. Something in me strongly believe in

It became a habit, and it became like the most discussed topic between mum and I. She had her own way of getting it all out of me. She could get me to discuss every single marriage proposal that came my way during my time away from home. Sometimes we discuss past proposals to see if they should be thrashed out or can they still be considered, we then come into the present and jot down new proposals. Amazingly we sometimes even discuss those I think are showing signs of putting in their proposals the next semester I guess. These chats became our most enjoyed ones. Most of them were passive until we landed on an active one. The one that changed my heartbeat and mind pattern. I so wanted the semester to end so I can for once come home for an active chat. I was ready to talk mum into buying my reasons for liking Zayd :). But what I met was not what I expected. My mother was not totally against my choice, but she was a worried about my choice of tribe. She went ahead to say, " You s

Since the announcement of our wedding date,  it has all been good days, our chats have improved as we talk more about how fun life will be together, and how much we wish this time will come and pass as fast as possible. I believe he sleeps better these days because the smiles are unstoppable especially when we are together. But my sleep is being stolen, my nights are as if I am at the last stage of insomnia, that is, if it has stages. I know I brought this upon myself and the best I could have done was to at least tell 'J' earlier about this whole situation,  however my fear never allowed me, and this fear keeps getting worse. Even though he has not asked me about it due to his moral nature, but I know it is something that every man expects of his wife before marriage. ------------------------------------------------ (And do not come near to adultery, it is a shameful deed and an evil, and opening the road to other evils.

Alhaji Nurudeen is the chairman of the Hajj Board in Ghana, Dr. Amidu is a lecturer at the university of Ghana, school of health sciences, and I am the CEO of Abubakar and Sons mechanics inside suame magazine. We are three friends with an amazing childhood that saw us through our smiles, fears, downfalls and separation. We used to attend the same kindergarten and lived in the same neighbourhood, so we spent most of our childhood moments together. Rolling in the heap of sand, the evening and weekend quran studies, the "4 poles" and the tyre races, indeed this later generation are missing out alot of fun. If I am going to tell you all that we did during childhood, we will continue this story in another season, but I have a question and a message for you,  so let us focus on that. ----------------------------------------------- I am rich, but have a very poor education background;  should I be your role model as a growing youth? -------------------------------- My fri

Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you, they are born for a different time~ Ali ibn Abi Talib(RA) ................................................. Muna's father is at the 'Ataaya' base right now,  he came home to eat supper and went out to pray 'Isha'. I know he is not coming back any sooner, that has been the routine since we had a little discussion about he getting a second wife. I was against it not because of jealousy,  I rejected this offer because our oldest child, Muna, is just 15years old, and I was hoping Muna's father will let us invest in our family rather than bringing in a fresh bride. Muna just completed junior high school, and I believe getting her quality education is the best. I would not have rebelled if Muna's  father had a lucrative job, he has been managing with his 'tyre repair' business for a while now, we actually had plans of expanding it, and bringing in more innovations just before we got married,

They are in a cold war,  a war with invincible boundaries. They meet each other with manly hugs, and big congratulatory vocabularies. They go ahead to enquire about each others health when it really does not matter to them, they do not wish for each others death, they only wish for each others downfall. Their dress code at programs say it all,  as they battle who has the biggest cover cloth and who holds the golden umbrella, alongside their flashy cars. Everybody wants to be recognised as the richest, most presentable and most befitting of my Throne.  I say my Throne because, I am the first to sit on it, I have no predecessor nor an ancestor, many were befitting of it when the time came for someone to sit on it, but I was favoured by grace. Anytime my father comes back from his Village tours,  he gives us stories of new and strange things he came across, one of these stories was about a man who was very old and the people in the village were wondering why he is not dead yet. They ques

N B: This is an already graded assignment of mine , I am only sharing sharing with you , so that we all learn together . I am not an expert on Islamic History . This piece seeks to only enlighten us with it's content . --------------------------------------------- Harut and Marut are mentioned once in the Qur’an. Their story has different versions but two popular traditional views. These two traditional views will be dissected in the paragraphs below after which we will evaluate which one is unusual and difficult to understand or accept. In Qur’an Chapter 2 verses 102, Allah says “ They followed what the S haitan gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman . Sulaiman did not disbelieve, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut , but neither of these two angels thought anyone (such things) till they said : “We are only for trial, so disbelieve not by learning this magic from us”.……….” (Q 2: 102).

WHO IS A GMSA MEMBER? Asalamu Alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatu. We begin by thanking Allah for all his bounties, and seek his peace and blessings upon our Prophet Mohammed  (pbuh). I have received messages recently from some Muslim students across the country who are seeking to join GMSA, in light of this,  I have decided to explain to us all via this message, about who a GMSA member is. GMSA is the acronym for Ghana Muslim Students Association. According to Article 4, clause 1 of the GMSA constitution,  "Membership of GMSA shall generally be open to all Muslim students in the country upon registration" Therefore,  If you are a Muslim,  a Student, and a Ghanaian,  you automatically become eligible to be a GMSA member, you only have to register with the GMSA branch in your Region or Institution.  But if for some reason you have not been able to register with them, it doesn't stop you from contributing or participating in GMSA activities. Even if you are not a Stu
