* The Crime, the Modest, and the Truth

• In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Alhamdulillah. Indeed, all praise is due to Allah, I praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. I seek refuge with Allah from the evil within myself and from my wrongdoings. He whom Allah guides, no one can misguide; and he whom He misguides, no one can guide.
•
I bear witness that there is no (true) God except Allah alone without a partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (SAW) is His abd (servant) and Messenger.
•
“O you who have believe! Revere Allah the right reverence, and do not die except as Muslim.”
(Al-Imraan, 3:102)
•
•
First and foremost, I want everyone to understand the fact that no amount of criticism, intimidation, insults, manipulation and blackmail can make us to change from the path of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta' ala) and the practise of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam (Q3:19)
Allah states that there is no religion accepted with Him from any person, except Islam. Islam includes obeying all of the Messengers until Muhammad (PBUH) who finalized their commission, thus closing all paths to Allah except through Muhammad. Therefore, after Allah sent Muhammad, whoever meets Allah following a path other than Muhammad's, it will not be accepted of him.
•
The religion of Islam is perfect religion but Muslims are not, because we are all human being and as long as we are human, we are bound to make mistakes, only God Almighty is perfect.
If I make mistake, blame me not my religion.
•
It is very sadden and quite unfortunate that some of the people in this generation of ours knows the truth but finding it difficult to say it because of
the prejudice against, hatred, or bigotry towards the religion of Islam and Muslims in general.
•
If anybody commit an offence that is against the commandment of God Almighty, the best manner for us is to join hands together and condemn the act that such person commits irrespective of our tribes, religions or our differences because I believe that there is no tribe or any religion that supports fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, robbing, killing and any form of crimes one can ever think of.
•
Allah says in the glorious Quran
•
"#And eat up not one another’s property unjustly (in any illegal way e.g. stealing, robbing, deceiving, etc.), nor give bribery to the rulers (judges before presenting your cases) that you may knowingly eat up a part of the property of others sinfully".
(Quran 2:188)
•
"#O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you". (Quran 4:29)
•
"#O you who believe! If an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what you have done.” (Quran 49:6)
•
“#Surely Allah does not guide him aright who is a liar, ungrateful.” (Surah az-Zumar 39:3)
•
“...#the curse of Allah be on him if he is one of the liars.” (Surah an-Nūr 24:
•
“#Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts). That is purer for them. Verily, Allaah is All‑Aware of what they do.
•
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
( Matthew 5:27-28)
•
"#And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private_parts (from illegal sexual acts)”
(Quran 24:30-31)
•
"#And come not near to unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a faahishah (a great sin) and an evil way." (Quran 17 vs 32)
•
~Think about how Allaah connects the issue of lowering the gaze with the issue of protecting the private parts (guarding one’s chastity) in one of the verses quoted above and how #lowering the gaze is mentioned first, before protecting the #private parts, because the #eye_influences_the #heart.
•
#According to the #Bible, five (5) of the 10 Commandments of #GOD mentioned in the book of Exodus includes:
•
•13. #Thou shalt not kill.
•14. #Thou shalt not commit adultery.
•15 #Thou shalt not steal.
•16. #Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
•17 #You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
(#Exodus 20 vs 13-17)
•
We can now see that both books (Quran and the Bible) denounce lying, adultery, fornication, robbing, corruption or any forms of crimes.
•
Ever wonder what our generation will be known for in the decades to come.
•
~The generation that is full of injustice.
~The generation that is full of corruption.
~The generation that is full of criminals.
~The generation that is full of indecency.
~The generation that is full of hypocrites.
~The generation that is full of hatred.
~The generation that is full of wickedness.
~The generation that is full of rubbish.
•
By Allah, I weep for this generation of ours.
•
Come to think of it, anytime some people read the headlines of the newspaper that somebody want to get married to a teenage girl, the first thing that will come to the mind of the majority of people is that such person must be Muslim, whereas, it may later turns out to be a Christian or even so called man of God.
•
A lot of people use to criticize someone that want to marry a teenage girl legally with the consent of her parents, some will even go to the extent of attaching such to a particular religion or particular tribes.
•
Let me tell you if you don't know that;
°
~ Waje had her daughter Ogochuckwu at the age of 19.
~ Lizzy Anjorin had a daughter as a teenager.
~ Nollywood actress Tayo Odueke had a daughter while in her teens?
~ Veteran actress Liz Benson-Ameye got married to her first husband, Samuel Gabriel Etim at a very young age and the marriage had already produced three children, two daughters and a son before her husband to death in her mid-20s
~ Genevieve Nnaji became a mother at the tender age of 17.
~ Shan George got married at tender age of 16.
~ Star actress Omotola met her pilot husband at age 16, and got married to him at age 18, and they had their first child at age 19.
~ Actress Ireti Doyle had her first child as a teenager?
~ Clarion Chukwurah got pregnant at age 18 for afro juju musician, Sir Shina Peters?
~ Ada Ameh, the plus size role interpreter had her daughter at a very tender age of 14?
~ The Akwa Ibom born actress Obot Etuk got married at the tender age of 15 and started making babies immediately. She had three kids before her divorce in 2002 while she was 15 when they got married, her estranged husband was 18 years old.
~ Precocious Drew was just 16 when she got engaged to Leland Hayward.
~ Solange married Daniel Smith, when she was 17
~ Courtney Stodden got married at 17.
•
~ My question now is that how many Muslims were mentioned above?
~ How many people criticize/condemning the act?
~ How many of them married out of wedlock?
•
I want us to know that 80% of our mothers, grandmothers & our great grandmothers got married at the age between 13 to 20 years then, if you are doubting that, let us ask some of our mothers or better still subtract the age of the first born in your family from the age of your mother (for those that gave birth say 9month or a year after they got married) and tell me the difference.
Our mother are the best one can ever have because they are far better than all the ladies of nowadays that are terrorizing the world with there indecent mode of dressing all in the name of fashion.
•
People are not condemning them because they are celebrities and a lot of people idolise them and strive to imitate their lives with the clothes they wear, some even look up to them as they can aspire to be like them even if what they are doing is against the commandment of God.
•
But if we read from the news that somebody want to marry a teenage girl not out of wedlock, people will start criticizing them as if they are doing it illegally or as if her parents complain to them that they are not in support of such.
•
Please which is better among the people raping a teenage girls up and down and the people that seek their hands in marriage from their parents
I know a reasonable person will prefer later to formal.

•
What do we expect when 75% of d members exposes their body to their pastors, instead of us to join hands together and condemn the act, a lot of people will keep defending them blindly.
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying, if people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth and you should know that It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.
•
All what I know is that child marriage is far better than child abortion, premature sex and baby factory.
•
• #Modesty is the best jewel of a woman and dressing modestly will safeguards the personal integrity of a woman and will also prevent them from being molested.
• For our Hijabi sisters, By Allah, you are the best of the good, the best of the better, the best of the best and finally, the best of the good, the better and the best.
•
#To_my_hijabi_sisters.
They tag you as masquerade.
Just because you use your Veil.
Just because you follow the commandment of Allah.
Just because you cover yourselves.
Why will you worry about their utterances.
When you are aware they are Ignorant.
When you walk by their side.
They try to move aside.
They think their rags is precious, not knowing your hijaab is the precious of all precious.
Some considered themselves as hot chicks.
Remember that the hell is hot.
I look at them In their shattered cloth, which they considered as the best.
I fear for their end if they should die like this for only Allah is Al-ahkam
They call you extremist
Because they couldn't glance your wrist.
They think you are out-dated, because you dress
Like Queen who are up-dated.
They said your veil is not compulsory.
Even though you gave them verses of Quran and to ponder.
Still they reject it.
This Veil is your eeman booster.
Your awrah is not for eagle eye to prey.
Because only Allah you obey.
The sunnah of Prophet you adhere.
My sisters in Islam who dress like the wives of the prophet.
Rejoice, for with Allah is your reward.
Jannah in which river flows.
Precious cups with palatable milk.
Delicacy that no eye has ever seen, nor touch, talkless of taste.
What a great reward that await you!
With your vision together you shall not perish.
Yours is sharp vision, not blurred,
With this you shall not be frustrated.
Because you are focused.
Sure success is yours!!!

• My sister, I want you to know that It's not just Hijab or Niqab, but also your key to Jannah (Paradise).
• Hijab is not just you are wearing but also what you do and say and who you are.
• Remember that your Hijab/Niqab automatically makes you an ambassador for Islam and I believe you will never ever trade your hijab for this temporary world.
• And finally, please don't let us be looking down on the ladies dressing anyhow or wearing bad cloths, for Allah may guide/change them for better tomorrow and He may forgive them for their ill-mannered and punish you for your arrogant.

Before I drop my pen, I would like to pass a message across to all the ladies terrorizing the world especially the Ummah with indecency way of their dressing all in the name of fashion.
Please must you dress in a sexually provocative manner?
I want you to know that you have caused more harm than good for a lot of men out there because of the way you are dressing and I want you to know that you are going to account for all the people you misled or be the cause for them to commit a sin (Zina) due to the way you are dressed or the way you are dressing.
You will be addressed by the way you are dressed, that is the reason we have a lot of rape cases, sexual assaults and the likes around the globe.
#I once advised a lady about her dressing sometimes ago, after I finished all I have to say, she said;
Well, Musharraf, you know we are living in a free world, and I think I am free to wear anything I want because I am no more a baby, after all, my parents are not complaining, so why u?
And she concluded by saying I should not judge her based on her dressing that after all, piety is in the heart. I told her that who am I to judge someone, then I told her that I agreed that piety is in the heart so as #pride and #hypocrite and she became dumbfounded.
•
You keep wearing very tight blouses and tops, skirts with very long slits, very short skirts, almost backless dresses, spaghetti, indomie dress, crazy jeans and other things too and you are complaining that men are molesting you. Why won't they rape you? You have already expose your body to them and become public property.
Our society has been throwing off all the last vestiges of propriety, modesty, tastefulness and decorum; television programmes frequently contain swearing, cursing and nudity. Certain cable television channels now openly and unashamedly specialise in pornography, what a shame.
And if we complain or advising you on the rag you are wearing, you will respond by saying you can wear whatever you like that if we have a problem with that, we can close our eyes.
However, I think that this is a very disingenuous and unsatisfactory response.
God made men a certain way and the way that God made us means that we can be sexually influenced very easily! To deny this is just to be naive, simplistic and to bury one's head in the sand!

#Jesus_said:
Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart"
•
~Qur'an:
"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their bodies (when abroad) so that they should be known and not molested"
(Quran 33:59).
~
"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty...And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms..."
(Quran 24:30,31).
•
~Bible:
"Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head - it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head" (I Corinthians 11:3-10).
•
~Hadith:
•Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “ There are two types of people who will enter the Hell-fire, whom I have not (as yet) seen: People having whips similar to ox-tails with which they will beat people, and (secondly) women who will be dressed yet appear to be naked. They will seduce men and be inclined towards them. Their heads will be like the swaying humps of bacterial camels. They will neither enter paradise, nor smell its fragrance, even though its fragrance can be smelt from such and such distance. ” (Sahih Muslim, no. 2128)
•
~Bible:
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
~(Timothy 2:8-10)
•
“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
~(Proverbs 31:30)
•
"Modesty and faith are companions; if one of them is removed the other is removed.”
[sahih al-targhib wa-al-tarhib]
•
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Every religion has a (distinct) characteristic and the characteristic of islam is modesty.”
[ibn maajah]
•
We can now see that both books (Quran and the Bible) denounce dressing indecency, this life would have been better place to live if only we follow the commandments of the books of God.
•
Finally,
God Almighty highly esteems modesty and there is something winsome in someone who is humble, contrite, and lives a life of modesty.
•
"And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious ). Will you not then understand?"
(Surah Al-Anaam, Verse 32)
•
And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allah. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
( Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 281)
•
~~How I wish, I only wish that the truth has a tongue~~.
•
May Allah continue to guide us aright, forgive our shortcomings, grant us success in this life and in the hereafter. Aameen
