  O my Muslim Brothers and Sisters,  Please pay attention! Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, is talking....talking to you and me, His slaves.... and ordering us that RIBAA (interest) is Haraam.  🍃Allaah is saying: "O you who believe! Fear Allaah and give up what is still due to you from Ribaa if you are (truly) believers." (al-Baqarah:278) And then He WARNS us: "And if you do not do it, then take a notice of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger." [al-Baqarah:279]  Did we read the Ayah carefully? Maybe, we should read it again. What does it say? It says that if we do not give up ribaa (usury), then we should take a notice of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.    AT WAR?!!  With WHO??  With Allaah?! and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam !!?? Subhaan Allaah!! Yaa Allaah! Protect us and save us!! Do we even know what it means to be at war with Allaah and His Messenger  Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam ?? Do we eve...

  Amidst the raging controversy surrounding the purported N1000.00 electricity tariff to be charged by the University College Hospital, Ibadan on its patients, a kind-hearted Nigeria has opted to help the hospital out of the diesel problem. Hon. Lanre Laoshe called the hospital from Lagos to sympathize with UCH over the current power problem being faced by UCH. According to Hon. Laoshe, “I belong to a WhatsApp group where the story circulating in the media about the proposed N1000.00 charge, I felt deeply sorry for UCH because things must have gone to the extreme before such a proposal could be contemplated. I told my colleagues on the platform that rather than condemning UCH, we should call to seek ways of helping the hospital. It is Nigeria’s pride. UCH is our collective heritage.” He said after considering the ugly situation, “I decided to give 1,000 litres of diesel as my little contribution towards solving the power problems in UCH”. Interestingly, by about 5 pm on Monday, 4th...

  The Osun State Chapter of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)  has called the attention of security agencies and well-meaning Nigerians to the misdemeanors of Pastor Akintaro Joshua Ojo over his recent utterances which are capable of plummeting Osun and the entire South West Nigeria into chaos and religious war.   Just few days into mourning Deborah whose brutal killing MURIC condemned along with her senseless and audacious act of blasphemy, and as if that was not enough, a pastor by name Akintaro Joshua released an audio tape raining insults on Allah (The Supreme Creator), Islam, the Qur’an, and The Noble prophet of Islam Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him (SAW), an effrontery far more dangerous than one could imagine and which no sane Muslim can stomach.   Some of his provocative utterances as heard in the audio-visual clip are: ‘We are not as stupid as your Muhammad’; ‘Your Muhammad is a sinner’; ‘There is nothing called Allah or Jibril. Muhammad i...
