The Kabah is believed to be the house of God where Muslims converge every year to worship.  This is the foundation laid down by the father of faith, Prophet Ibrahim (ASW).  As Muslims it is among the article of faith that we should believe in all the prophets and believing in them means we should believe in their prophecies. Among the prophecies by prophet Muhammed (SAW) was that a group of people will emerge at the end of time, these people are very strong and they will come from Africa.  They are Abyssinian (Ethiopian) men and are destined by God to destroy the Kabah. The Kaaba will be destroyed after Yajuj and Majuj(Magog and Hagog) perish from the Earth and Isa(Jesus) has died while Muslims still perform Hajj and Umrah.  The funny thing about prophecy is that even when you do everything within your power to prevent it, it will still come to pass. Remember when Pharaoh heard the prophecy that a male child will be born and this child will end his reign. He began to...

Death is the termination of worldly life and the beginning of the afterlife. But the two major similar religion in the world has a different view to as a what happens to a man after death. I will like to compare the Islamic belief about life after death to that of the Christian faith. 1. Life in the grave;  -Islam believes that after death, the soul is returned to the body, and immediately after burial, a new life begins for the deceased. Two angels will appear to the deceased asking him a series of questions and someone who lives his life serving and obeying God will be protected from the torment of the grave while anyone who disobeys God's order will be punished. -Do the Christians believe in life in the grave? There is no written evidence that this life in the grave. This means that Christian believes that after death is judgment. Judgment ; Believing in an afterlife is one of the six articles of faith in Islam. The deceased is in an intermediary state, until the great resurrect...

Boundaries are set to measure the limit at which we can go.  But there are path which leads to many limitless boundaries that if we follow, we would only keep going without an insight of where we could reach.  Every day is preoccupied with a new task and all that we expect is ease. But when we come across a blockade, we get sad and tired looking for how to overcome it.  We become worried and weary to the point that it render us powerless to go even further.  But the truth is if humans have a knowledge about the future,  they will worry less about the present.  There was a woman who had been barren for 30years. In her pursuit to get a baby,  she was involved in several relationships which fail as a result of her barrenness.  So one day she met a man who preached love to her and she was glad that someone was ready to stay with her after all those years of loneliness. God in his infinite mercy answered her prayer through this man and she finally got ...

Today is the day to celebrate all good things of life. Not the cars, nor houses, nor titles. But for the grace of health, satisfaction and happiness.  Today is the day to look back and cry, wipe your tears then smile. Look back to all those years you think you can't make it. You think you will fail a course,  you think you will lose your loved ones, you think you won't pay your debt, you think you won't rise from the hospital bed,  you think you won't find love,  you think the end has come.  Today is the day to remember those that hurt you and forgive them completely, remember those you've hurt and seek for forgiveness too.  Today is the day to raise a level of consciousness and begin to act right.  Today is the day to talk about your feelings to those that matter, avoiding yourself from going into depression.  Today is the day to check on people who are either close or far.  Today is the day to act right, settle disputes, make peace and stay...

It is said that to everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages.  This statement cannot be overemphasized. In fact let me say this statement is underrated.  Back then, attending a private secondary  school was one of the major determinant of your parent's social status. Until you graduate and find a public school lever, who speaks better and fluent English compared to you or you write the joint  admission and  matriculation board exam(JAMB)  twice or three times and find out that most of your friends who attended public school got admission before you. You won't be amazed until you even get the admission  and notice that a larger percentage of your course mate graduated from government secondary school.   In our present era, religion and politics are two major drive to our affairs both in the community level and country level at large. Vast majority  of our political leaders both present and past were schooled by the govern...

One of the things an individual could do and be happy with him or herself later in life is taking charge.  The mind is wired to run from difficulties and challenges but it is one's responsibility to train it to stay and fight back.  Responsibility is the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. So running from responsibilities ain't a way to solve problems. Though it could look like a solution but trust me it's going to be temporary.  See men who drink just to forget about their problems usually end up in bigger problems. Ranging from becoming an addict, living an irresponsible life down to committing crimes they could avoid if they were to be sane.  Taking up responsibilities doesn't mean you have to do beyond your capabilities or subduing yourself to unnecessary pressures. It only means you have to use the little ability to control any given circumstances be it good or bad.  Men who takes the responsibilities of...
