Reasons For Limiting To Only One Wife


Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Al-Uthaymeen [D.1421 A.H.] [رحمه الله] said:

❝Some of the people of knowledge held the opinion that it is better to limit one self to one wife, the reasons they give are:

1 - That it is safer for a husband's responsibility for his wife rather than oppressing his other wives.

This is because if a man marries two women or more, then perhaps he may not be able to do justice between them.

2- Also because, limiting one self to one wife is closer to preventing the family from becoming scattered.

This is because if he has more than one wife, the family can become scattered, since he will have children from one woman and also children from the other woman.

Also perhaps there may occur conflict and disunity between the children due to a conflict and disagreement between their mothers, as has been witnessed.

3- Likewise, having just one wife is closer to being able to fulfil the obligation of spending upon her and other matters.

4- It is also easier for a man to take into account justice. Indeed having a consideration for justice is a great matter,  which requires help and aid.

So due to that, we say, limiting to one wife is safer for that person.

However if a person sees in himself that one wife is not sufficient and does not keep him chaste, then indeed we would order him to marry a second, third and fourth wife until he can achieve tranquillity, and keep away from looking at women and have ease for the soul.❞

[Sharh Zaad Al-Mustaqna, (12/13) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

“I picked up the phone and he was like, ‘Do you want to enjoy some sun or stay in the rain?’

“I have learned so much tactically - as much as I have in my entire lifetime. You need to learn off different managers. Right now, I am learning a lot.”

- Tammy Abraham on Jose Mourinho

“Ruben walked across and Tuchel said something along the lines of, ‘You are special. I cannot believe you haven’t played more for Chelsea’. It was a great thing for him to hear.”

- @TheAthleticUK on Tuchel calling RLC over in pre-season.

The true character of man is a function of time. But sometimes you need not wait for time to expose frauds for the unsuspecting public to know their reality.

A001:
Check out this book of Africa's history or the history of the black race: https://au.int/sites/default/files/documents/40334-doc-africa_factbook-version-digital.pdf

Most Africans and black people around the world only know their history from the perspectives of the European and Arab colonizers and slave masters who, for the past six centuries, have twisted — and are still twisting — historical facts about Africa and her people.

To learn the true Africa's history written by Africans and black people themselves after years of laborious research, this book is highly recommended.

No be only laborious Na notorious.
There's this deadly cultist I know back then in school who hasn't renounced his membership and each time I read him on Facebook he's always claiming a Pan-Africanist who is no slave to Arabs and Europeans you're sounding like him.
Most of you guys who claim to be freethinkers, agnostics, Pan-Africanists are closest cultists.

Iheanacho is an attacking midfielder?

No he is a point guard.

Romelu Lukaku: "Everybody thinks I’m a sort of target man: just holding up the ball and being a goal poacher. But I’ve never played that way and I hate it.

"My biggest strength is that I’m dangerous when I’m facing towards the goal."

Just because Anelka played in a two striker formation with Drogba doesn't make him an attacking midfielder just like how Lewandowski played with Barrios as the second striker. Firmino is an attacking midfielder just like Iheanacho who can play as a false 9 in a two striker formation he played this role with Volland at Hoffenheim. He is a system player and a key component of his team's success, anyone arguing otherwise is trying to be clever by a half.

"In the end, far more often than not, his [Tuchel's] thinking becomes clear once the games have begun.

“The manager thought Ross Barkley was exactly the man to seize the moment when it came. It was a world-class pass [from Ross]."

On David Hundeyin’s Cornflakes of Jihad By AbdulBasit Kassim

Deep Sigh!

As long as you are active on any social media platform, by now, you should have read, or someone must have shared the trending David Hundeyin’s article “Cornflakes for Jihad: The Boko Haram Origin Story” (https://westafricaweekly.substack.com/p/cornflakes-for-jihad-the-boko-haram) with you. Regardless of his political positions, David Hundeyin dug up the archive that most people in the religious establishment of northern Nigeria know but would instead prefer to be silent upon. Although David often raises interesting issues in his investigative articles, he can sometimes appear too sensational and quick in reaching conclusions.

Andrea Brigaglia, Alex Thurston, Jacob Zenn, and other scholars who have closely studied the microhistory of the evolution of Boko Haram based on a careful examination of a wide range of primary sources have previously discussed some of the issues in David’s article. In the 2020 article “Entangled Incidents: Nigeria in the Global War on Terror (1994–2009)”, Andrea Brigaglia and Alessio Lochi provided an extensive analysis of the 27 September 2006 letter Aminu B. Wali (then the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations) wrote to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. In his book Unmasking Boko Haram, Jacob Zenn also discussed the transnational engagements between the Izala-scholar Mallam Yakubu Katsina and the Algerian-based GSPC and GIA.

These uncomfortable, traceable, verifiable, and evidence-based facts are known and documented even though many prefer to listen only to the set of narratives that suit their sectarian leanings. Shying away from confronting difficult conversations about your archive is an act of cowardice. It is only a matter of time; sooner or later, people would dig deep inside those records and ask uncomfortable questions that would put you on the defensive. It would help if clerics, rulers, and people with shady past address, reckon, redress, repair, and grapple with complicated, violent, and disavowed aspects of collective histories before academics, journalists, and curators of archive unearth their records for public scrutiny.

What is new in David’s article is the record and detailed information he unearthed that linked the identities of previously unknown actors to the web of Boko Haram’s history. At a time when the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has defended the decision of the government not to name financiers who have been indicted for funding Boko Haram, David’s piece would certainly provoke questions. However, despite the trove of records in David’s article, he ended with a dangerous and conspiratorial conclusion by attempting to lump different issues together, including early al-Qaeda connections, the emergence of Boko Haram, and farmers/nomadic herders conflict.

Before addressing this conspiratorial bent, it is important to ask questions about the state-funded NGO in Jordan. According to the article, David hatched a narrative that incriminates the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre (an affiliate of the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought) as part of a coordinated international campaign with the intentional aim of distorting the reality of Muslim-Christian religious tensions and crisis in Nigeria. Yakubu Musa is the “black face clerical surrogate” whom the Jordanian NGO conferred the “500 Most Influential Muslims” badge to reward his role in this grand coordinated campaign. This narrative is consistent with the commentaries that often strip away the agency of African Muslims by presenting them as proxies and local clients doing the bidding, nefarious foreign plots, and the global expansionist agenda of Middle Eastern hegemons on the ground in Africa.

The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought is the Jordanian version of the UAE-funded Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (led by Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah), the Qatari-funded Al-Qaradawi Center for Islamic Moderation and Renewal (led by Shaykh Yusuf Qaradawi), and the Moroccan-funded Higher Council Mohammed VI Foundation of African Oulema (led by King Mohammed VI and Ahmed Toufiq, the Moroccan Minister of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs). Arab rulers established these institutions to promote their soft power and competing state brands and foreign policies in Muslim societies across the globe. The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought is particularly anti-Salafi in its religious orientation. The anti-Salafi leaning of this institution is evident in their 2007 launch of the inter-religious initiative “A Common Word” and their 2005 conference of Islamic scholars where they produced the “Three Points of Amman Message.”

The annual 500 most influential Muslims published by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought is an effort to promote mostly Sufi scholars. They mention the leaders of some mass Salafi movements only for political correctness. This political correctness is the reason Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute refers to Yakubu Musa as a leader of an activist Sufi brotherhood. Izala is not a Sufi movement. This begs the question, what exactly does the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought seek to gain by forming a partnership with a Nigerian Salafi cleric to obfuscate the reality of Muslim-Christian tensions in Nigeria? David’s claim on the Jordanian connection does not add up.

David also seems to conflate the two Yakubu from Katsina. Yakubu Hassan Musa Kafanchan of Izala is different from Yakubu Yahaya of the Shiites Islamic Movement of Nigeria. The former earned his moniker “Kafanchan” during the 1987 Kafanchan crisis while the latter acted as the deputy of Ibrahim Zakzaky. Newsweek documented his face-off with Governor Yahaya Madaki in Katsina in the aftermath of the 27 March 1991 burning of the Katsina office of Daily Times. Like most religious clerics in northern Nigeria, the two Yakubu have drifted away from the anti-state proselytism they propagated in the past.

David’s article also attempted to frame the 2012 publication ‘Report on the Inter-Religious Tensions and Crisis in Nigeria’ published by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought and their recommendation of “grazing routes” as evidence of their alleged pre-emptive knowledge of violence related to nomadic cattle herding. In the article, David concluded with the paragraph:

“Very tellingly, at a time when conversations about violence related to nomadic cattle herding were not yet present in Nigeria’s political equation, a Jordanian organization with links to Yakubu Katsina — a known Nigerian terrorist — was already recommending “grazing routes” as a solution for a problem that for the most part, did not actually exist yet. 9 years later, the question is…how did they know?”

This conspiratorial conclusion contradicts the colonial and post-colonial history of nomadic herders and farmers’ conflict in Nigeria. The history of violence related to nomadic cattle-herding predates Nigeria’s independence. As early as 24 August 1949, the veterinary officer of Sokoto province, K.J.R. Maclennon, issued a memo under the title “Grazing Control and the Utilisation of Fulani Cattle.” In the memo, he wrote:

“It is suggested that means of encouraging a close association of Fulani and farmers are likely to lead to quicker and more widespread benefits than efforts to settle Fulani on mixed farming on a large scale.

For this reason, investigations are being made into the adequacy of Burtali, Mashelari, and grazing grounds, as well as the causes of conflict between the two interests.

I should grateful for your views and those of the native administration on the partial remission of Jangali for those herds that spend a specified period, say two or three months krasled on farmland during the dry season as a means of encouraging the practice.”

One out of the cache of evidence of the history of farmers and Fulani herdsmen conflict in the post-colonial period is the 1990 budget broadcast of the Military Governor of Niger State, Lt. Colonel Lawal Gwadabe, reported by Triumph Newspaper on 15 January 1990. In the broadcast, Lawal Gwadabe appealed to the Fulani leaders in Niger state to control their people by cautioning them against using their cattle to trample on people’s farms.

David is outrightly wrong to have concluded that conversations about violence related to nomadic cattle herding were nonexistent in Nigeria’s political equation when the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought published its 2012 report. On the contrary, the colonial archive documented the “grazing routes” almost a century before the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought issued their recommendation, which David attempted to present from a conspiratorial position.

So the answer to the concluding question of the article “9 years later, how did they know” is entirely conspiratorial and out of place. Historians should always endeavor to demystify the “perceived newness” often attributed to the present’s chaos and ruptures. Although this article is well-researched, it was severely marred the moment the author attempted to draw unfounded and conspiratorial conclusions.

N.B: For the sake of clarity, this piece is NOT a rejoinder to Hundeyin’s article. His article is thorough, well-researched and flooded with a trove of verifiable and traceable records. The only drawback in the article is the author’s conspiratorial conclusion and attempt to muddle unrelated conflicts together.

“If you have a centre-forward like Lukaku, you need to use him and I don't think Chelsea have quite figured out how to use him yet. If they can figure it out, then Chelsea can become the team to beat in the Champions League this season.”

From sir Ole

He is fortunate to be coaching a modern football hall of famer and yet he's struggling to win against Spanish farmers. We played against Italian giants

Skimpledawg:
I thought Havertz was going to give us 10 defence splitting passes tonight playing from via preferred right wing according to his agent havertz10.

He was trying to lay off balls when there was no space for players to run into.

Just ONE shot on target in our last two games combined…

It’s quite clear where our issues lie - there’s no need to panic, but we certainly need to improve our attacking form. Fast.

Copied

I have been saying it that our Achilles's hill is lack of creativity in the middle, all game long we look lost and confused when we are in possession of the ball. There were no defense splitting passes and dribbling to unlock Juventus back line.

Chiellini - “Jorginho truly deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.”

Handanovic - “Jorginho won everything, he deserves it.”

Mancini - “Jorginho would be my winner, because he won it all.”

Zola - “Should they give it to Jorginho, it would be deserved.”

Haller wants to win UCL golden boot already. Always liked Haller despite things not going his way at West Ham. Some nearly tore my head off when I suggested we buy him from West Ham for the low

I too suggested we buy him to pair with Werner since the latter can't function well in a lone-striker formation. He's good only that West Ham wasn't a fit for Him

raumdeuter:
If Chelsea had won we will be hearing of how no one can win with Rodri in midfield and how he is an escort. Rodri anchored a City midfield today without Fernadinho and stifled Chelsea now we start hearing its Foden.
