IT'S NO SUNNAH

By -


Some ill-informed muslims make people feel that the sunnah of the Prophet is not worth embracing with the way they are usually shabbily dressed. They appear displeasing, such that people avoid close contact with them. Their clothes are filled with creases as though there were no irons on earth to smoothen the garments. 

I wonder how a dirty and seemingly filthy person will be able to win the soul of another person whose mindset about Islam is notional and stereotypical. Dirty outlook is never borne out of poverty; it is usually a personality phenomenon. Some do not have more than two wears, yet they will never appear dirty, shabby or stinking.

He claims to be the best follower of the Prophet, yet he has never come across the Hadeeth that enjoins cleanliness. He has never read that the Prophet himself despised dirtiness. You had better go dis-learn the jass in your brain and relearn the correct sunnah of Allah's Apostle.

His dirty, shabby and rough outlook is not even restricted to his jalabia; it extends to his turban. I doubt if he even baths regularly. Could the Prophet who encouraged the use of chewing stick before ablution make dirtiness a part of him? No! Never! Mba! Laelae!

If you're dirty, you are not sunnatic!

YOUR WOMAN: A HALF-PART, NOT A SPARE-PART.

While in a taxi returning home after the day's work, the driver tuned the radio to a station where issues about husbands assisting their wives were discussed. Thinking aloud, an elderly woman said she would disown a son found giving a helping hand to his wife in house chores. A heat debate, therefore, ensued among the passengers. All but the driver faulted the woman's submission. I honestly never believed that such could be uttered by a woman. I could not but wade in to have my opinion launched. I tried making her reason rationally, but she was rather hell bent. I couldn't believe my ears. I have got no doubt that many a man today has a similar ideology with the woman whose example was afore-cited. Wives are partners in progress, not slaves. They are half parts of their partner-husbands, not spare parts. It is no big deal to assist women in their domestic duties. This increases the bond between spouses. It makes the wife love the husband the more. It is equally a way of...

HE PROSTRATED IN UNIFORM

I alighted from a tricycle, patronized a motorcyclist on the other side of the road to further the crucial trip. Less than two minutes into the zoom, we encountered a road block actuated by some dark men in dark attire. “Where is our money?” one of them cried out. “Officer, I paid to the batch that was here earlier this morning, sir,” responded the biker. Like a famished, frenzied tout, he roared: “Give us our money joooo!” The biker begged on, rather than do the wish of the weird wizard. Not happy with the polite insistence, the dark-hearted avarice turned to me: “Come down, you!” While I pleaded on behalf of the helpless poor rider, the attired lunatic forcefully pushed the bike and we both staggered east, west. Thank God my belly had been filled to its fill before setting out that morning. If not, I could have found my head on the ground and my legs towards the sky. Angered by the derangement of the draconian policeman, I walked up to him: “What reason have you to treat us as su...

UNDER THE HIJAB?

By -

There is no one she cannot talk down. She is lousy - orally untidy, verbously shameless and attitudinally unbefitting. She does not only abuse, she rains curses on whoever crosses her path - unfortunately under the hijab. She is no respecter of anyone, not even her parents. She coughs out whatever shaytan whispers into her unbridled tongue. She blurts out anything from the world of her ignominious mouth. The sacredness of the Hijab garment is of no meaning to her whenever she addresses a matter in public. She is usually not different from a garrage vagabond each time she is angered. Whoever intervenes to quench the matter is obviously in trouble. Her parents know her to be a demon of pathological cantankerousness who turns situations into cacophonous phenomena. She grumbles that her mode of dressing is hated by them, yet the behaviour with which such can be redeemed aren't existent in her person. To her husband, she is a filthy parrot. She spits out anything that flows through ...
