DISTURBED by the recent spate of multiple bomb blasts in several parts of the country in which hundreds of innocent Nigerians including journalists were killed in various attacks by Boko Haram in the northern part of the country, the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, at its retreat held at the University of Ibadan, has condemned the attack saying the group is not a representative of the Muslims in the country.

THUS, the purpose of this write up is not to judge others or decide matters that we have no right to decide, but to call attention to the dictates of Shariah.

Any time I read any of the quotes of Prophet Muhammad, the feeling of satisfaction of being a Muslim and having a great leader as Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) resonate in me. Islam through Quran and hadiths has every solution for man, for peaceful co-existence, development, and gaining the hereafter.

I will start with this verse of the Holy Quran: “With every hardship there is ease, with every hardship there is ease.” (94:5-6). In the early days of Mecca, there were many problems and difficulties. At that time, Almighty Allah assured them (the believers) by revealing the verse.

ALLAMA Ibn al-Qayyim said: Section of hadiths which gives the dates of future events. This includes hadith in which it mentions such and such a date, for example, “In the year such and such, such and such will happen” or “In the month such and such, such and such will happen.”
