I had an accident in which our vehicle somersaulted a few times. By the time it stopped, everyone had fallen off except me and the guy sitting next to me.
Obviously, the window beside me didn’t break and it protected me from falling outside. This guy sitting next
I came across a guy a few years ago, who decided to host me in his home when I was in Lagos. Out of respect, for my family.
Upon spending a few days there, I discovered that there is nothing these guy cannot do for money, including money ritual.
How did I find out? Come with me

The prophet (SAW) says, “Put the death before your eyes every time.” That will keep you alerted and remind you that you are living on a borrowed time.
And in so doing, you’ll know to spend your time ONLY on what matters.

You may choose to neglect, pretend to forget, daydream about long life, but the truth is death is after you every second.

real fear. It wasn’t the accident! I was 80% cool and calm throughout the process even as I thought it was certain death. I didn’t know why.
But then… I saw a man die before me and a strong realization hit me once again that are just as fragile as a cobweb. The finality
This is a guy who would tell me back in the days that he wants to have money. He doesn’t care if his life is cut short.
Do you really think he will care about your own life?

to me, his head had somehow hanged in my armpit, so he didn’t fall out either.
When the vehicle managed to stop, I dropped and turn on the flashlight on my phone. I walked a few second away from the car. When my mind became clear, I came back looking for everyone.
As I saw
after, he started shouting “Eshanu mi, eshanu mi,” meaning “help me! Help me.”
And those were his last words. I stood there and watched him struggle with death until he took his last breath.

My good heart has been praised by some of the best friends in the world.

They have started attacking Dr Idris again because he said, “if a Christian helps you to practice your religion, reciprocate and set a line.”
Let’s see what the Sheri’ah says about this.

As a Muslim, if I have to give my life for Islam, I wouldn’t hesitate a second.
But as an Islamic scholar, here are some things that bother me about the representation of Islam in some places across the world:

On the first night, he took me to a restaurant and started asking me about all sorts of Asraar.
Then at one point in our conversation, he said, “Sheikh, I don’t know as much as you, but I know one thing that works: Ogun Owo.” Meaning “money ritual.”
My brain didn’t process it
When the women of Banu Sa’d who were professional wet nurses stepped out to go look for gigs (kids to breastfeed), they had one unwritten rule in mind: never take an orphan.
Their reason, according to Halimah, the foster mother of the RasuluLlah, was that they don’t think the

Whenever I took a break like that, the goal is to escape, pray, and read a lot.
So, on Sunday evening, I began my special prayers.

I didn’t know what, but some things went on.
He wasn’t home for most of the day, but returned the evening and everything was going on fine.
On Tuesday, around past 9 am, I stood up to go and renew my ablution and found this guy lying down in the kitchen. When
I asked him why he didn’t go out, he said, “there is problem.”
He explained further that he’s taken his potion on Monday, and he’s supposed to make at least N1.5 million Naira weekly.
But as of now, he’s not seen a dime.
His eyes turned red, throughout the day, he was going
back and forth, agitated. He kept complaining, and the more I tried to get him to talk more, the more he brushes me off the conversation.
Now, he’s become extremely uncomfortable with my presence, but there’s nothing he could do about it. More on why later.

I once read a story of an Arab grandma who used to wake everybody up in her home for Fajr prayer.

Fast forward to today, TikTok showed me a video of this guy. Apparently now very well to do, and a good-looking man.
When I checked the comment section, I saw a girl pleading and
young guy went out. And before noon he called me and asked if I had a GTB account.
I said no, but I knew some one that does. So I supplied a friend’s account detail, and the friend received an alert of N200,000.
My friend transferred his money to him, and my curiosity grew.

I just watched the movie Ayinla on Netflix. I must say this is the best I’ve seen in a long time.

So, he asked him to come over and offered him this soap that he went to use at the river.
As soon as he was done, a call came in from Turkey. They wanted to wire him some funds but this has to be to GTBank.
And that’s why he used my friend’s bank account.
More conversations
When this guy arrived home, he brought a plastic with black soap, Ose Dudu, something sitting in the middle of it, like knife.
He said his Baba was the one that called him and asked how he was faring. When he told Baba he’s not fine, Baba knew it has something to do with money.

Perhaps your salah will be the means for you to leave off those sins.
