“What is the matter with you, that you are not conscious of Allah’s majesty, seeing that it is He Who has created you in diverse stages? See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, and made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp? And Allah has produced you from the earth, growing (gradually)” (71:13-17).

SABR (perseverance): A Muslim must learn to be steadfast and very resolute with Allah during this period of adversities. He/she must realize that every supernatural healing property other than the correct Islamic way is deceptive and usually bear a grave consequence either immediate or later in life. When struck by an affliction, a believer should exhibit patience and perseverance.

Let us take an extra-sensory perception on the first thing that was created by God (Allah) and imagine what existed when actually there was nothing. Common sense provides a fact that before the existence of the entire universe, something was.

The Muslim Congress (TMC) has frowned at media reports that Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) is planning to present a bill to the Lagos State House of Assembly (LSHA) seeking to stop slaughtering of animals at homes and other unauthorised places in the state.

When a Muslim encounters a problem, he must realize the fact that he needs the intervention of Allah to solve the problem and this can only be achieved through divine mercy and by involving in different virtuous deeds. Virtuous deeds elicit Allah’s mercy and reduce Allah’s anger, prevent His punishment and pave the way for solution to a problem.
