Nice one. Let's just continue to support him with our prayers and other means that we can. God bless Nigeria, and God bless Nigerians.

R.I.P Mr Douglas. May God almighty give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

chiibekee:

Ok o.

chiibekee:
Mine was my aunty. The truth is, I don't know what I wanted to see the next thing I heard was someone shouting my name. I got very scared. When she came out she called me and gave me a sound slap. I thought I would go deaf after the slap.

I could perceive something lyk les***nism in this story.

People sometimes fancy themselves as being all important,
looking disdainfully from side to side, holding their noses
high in the air. But if they would only regard these great and
awe-inspiring creations around them, it would give them a
sense of humility and they would become humble before
their Lord.
Things to Consider:
1. At the time of conception, between five and six hundred
million sperm cells pass through the vaginal tract, each of
them capable of fertilizing the egg and becoming a human
being. But God in His wisdom selects one from
all of those millions to fertilize the egg, and this one will
develop into the fully-formed human being God chooses to
create, a being that by God’s grace possesses the capacity
to reason and to dispose of its affairs. This is how we were
all created, so we should feel humility in recognition of the
greatness and grandeur of our Lord. We should remember
our humble beginnings so we can appreciate the vast
difference between that little drop of mixed fluid from
which we were conceived and the fully formed human
beings we are today. This should compel us to glorify God,
remain aware of Him at all times, and thank Him.
2. There are over one hundred trillion cells in the human
body. Inside each of these cells are organelles, systems,
complex processes, and vast stores of information. Each
and every detail of the cell glorifies its Lord while carrying
out its role in the cell in an exemplary manner. The nucleus
of each cell contains roughly 31 billion nucleotides – the
four molecular "letters" on the DNA molecule that spell out
the genetic traits of the living organism and regulate its
functioning. It is this information that an organism inherits
from its father and mother. This vast number of molecular
"letters" that make up our DNA are duplicated in every one
of the hundred trillion cells of our bodies. Each one of these
letters attests to the greatness of God who created them.
3. When we look up at the night sky, we stare off into the
vastness of space and the billions of galaxies that are over
our heads. Each galaxy is in turn a conglomeration of
billions of stars, and these stars are all at various stages in
their life-cycles. Some are in the process of being formed.
Some are young, others mature, while others are in the
throes of death. Each of these stars glorifies God in space
the vastness of which boggles the mind. God alone knows
the full extent of the universe. If we imagine a space ship
capable of travelling at the speed of light, 186 thousand
miles per second, it would take thousands of years for that
spaceship to cross a single galaxy, let alone what is beyond
it. God says: "But nay! I swear by all that you see, and by all
that you do not see." (Quran 69:38-39)
God also says: "Nay, I swear by the places of the stars, and
verily that is a tremendous oath, if you but knew." (Quran
56:75-76)
A given galaxy might contain from 100 million to a billion
stars, and every day scientists are discovering something
new about outer space. The means of observation
presently available to science are still quite limited. We, as
created beings, should see the greatness of God in His
creation and view ourselves with humility. The natural
world is an open book that extols the praises of God. "The
seven heavens and the Earth and all that is therein praise
Him, and there is not a thing but hymns His praise; but you
do not understand their praise." (Quran 17:44) God also
says: "Do you not see that all things that are in the heavens
and on Earth bow down in worship to God – the Sun, the
Moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals, and a great
number of human beings? But a great number are (also)
such as are fit for punishment. And those whom God shall
disgrace none can raise to honor, for God carries out all
that He wills." (Quran 22:18)
All the beauty and splendor of the universe that we can see
is but a small glimpse of the Creator’s ingenuity. When a
believer reflects on God’s creation, it reveals something of
the greatness of God and His immense wisdom. It brings
peace to the believing heart and fortifies a believer’s faith.
God says: "Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the
Earth, and the alternation of night and day are indeed Signs
for people of understanding – those who remember God
standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on
the creation of the heavens and the Earth, saying: Our Lord!
You have not created this in vain! Glory be to You. Save us
then from the chastisement of the fire:" (Quran 3:190-191) Source: http://islamicfrat.com/index.php/post/99-our-small-place-in-god-s-creation

SMILE: It is the first arrow and the fastest of them all. It is like the salt for food. It is also regarded as a kind of worship and alms-giving as mentioned in Hadith "Smiling at your brother's face is as charity (Sadaqa)". Sahaabah reported about the Prophet (Peace be up on him) saying that they had never seen someone smile at the other's face more then as the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) used to do. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) said: "Do not ever waste your good deeds, even by meeting your brother with a frowning face." Your smile for your brother is sadaqah.[bukhari]
BE THE FIRST TO GREET: This arrow is the one that lets you
to be in the inner most depths of the others hearts. This
arrow needs a skilful shooter. The needed skills are the
hearty smile, the warm shaking of hands and the friendly welcoming to the other. Being successfully achieved, such kinds of skills are going to be rewarded, referring to the Hadith: "In greetings, the better is one who initiates greeting the other". You will not enter Jannah until you have Imaan (firm faith) and you will not attain (complete) Imaan until you love one another. Shall I not show you something by doing which there will be love between you? Make salaam common amongst yourselves.
EXCHANGE PRESENTS: It has a strange charming affection
that captivates all senses. Hence, exchanging presents and
gifts in different occasions is a pleasant habit however gifts should be within one's tolerable expenses. Prophet (Peace be up on him) told us that giving presents increases love among Muslims. He said also: "Shaking hands removes hatred and exchanging presents enhances love and ends enmity."
SPEAK WHAT IS NECESSARY: Loud voice and chattering are
bad merits. You have to be sweet-worded, tender in
expressing yourself. Concerning this merit, The Prophet
(Peace be up on him) said "The good word is a charity (is a
Sadaqa)." If the good word has its own magic in winning the hearts of your enemies how powerfully it would work then with your brothers' hearts!! Whoever guarantees me the protection of the part between his two jaws (i.e. tongue) and that which is between his thighs (i.e. private parts), I guarantee for him Jannah. (Bukhaari and Muslim) Prophet's (Peace be up on him) said: "Nobility of manners and taciturnity are the best of manners that people are ever characterized by."
BE A GOOD LISTENER: It is to listen patiently and never
interrupt the speaker, as the Prophet (Peace be up on him)
never interrupted a speaker till he ended his speech. And he who fights for this merit gains others love and admiration, whilst on the contrary is the one who chatters and interrupts the other.
APPEARANCE AND DRESSING WELL: You have to be
careful with your appearance so as to be neat, well dressed. The Prophet (Peace be up on him) says that Allah (Saw) loves beauty to be in every thing.
BE KIND AND HELPFUL: Good treatment you classifies you
as an obedient, beloved slave of Allah (SWT) as the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be up on him) says: "The more you are
in (real) favour of others, the more you are beloved by Allah (SWT) " as Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: " And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah (SWT) and make not
your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do
good; for Allah (SWT) love those, who do good" (2:195) Every good deed is sadaqah (an act of charity). (Bukhaari and Muslim) Whoever provides ease for someone who is
burdened with debt, Allah will provide ease for him in this
world and in the Aakhirah. (Sahih Muslim)
BE GENEROUS: Offering money is the key for most of the
closed doors that hinder you from reaching others hearts,
especially in these days. Some people behave stingily as if
they see the ghost of poverty waiting to attack them once
they think about being generous in offering money i.e. not
the behaviour of the Muslim. Sadaqah (the giving of charity) wipes out sin just as water extinguishes fire (Tirmidhi)
EXCUSE SHORTCOMINGS: Keeping an eye on others
behaviour is a bad merit that blocks your way to their
hearts. On the contrary is to have a good opinion of them.
So, try hard to give your brothers the excuse as much as
you can. Allah (SWT) told us that if some one hurt others
then he or she would have to ask for forgiveness from the
person as well as from Allah (SWT) in order to compensate
the mistake. The Muslim who conceals the faults of another Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of
Qiyaamah. (Sahih Muslim)
BE HONEST AND EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS: If you love
someone or feel good about them, don't wait, just tell them at once. Regarding this, the Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "If you felt the brotherly love of Islam towards any, you should immediately go and tell him about your
feelings." He added "It is the way relations are to be
strongly indicated". Such love is to be blessed by Allah (SWT) , if it is purely for Allah's (SWT) sake, not for any other personal affairs such as seeking high position, money, fame etc. Unless this love is for Allah's (SWT) sake, it is a fruitless kind of brotherhood then. Moreover, Allah (Saw) says: "Friends on that Day will be enemies one to another, except Al Muttaqoon (i.e. those who have strong faith and deeds)." (43:67) I enjoin upon you truthfulness for indeed truthfulness guides towards virtue, and virtue certainly leads to Jannah. (Bukhaari and Muslim)
BE SOCIABLE: It is the art of being social. Here, a kind of
misconception could exist between sociability and
hypocrisy. Could you differentiate between the two meanings? The difference between hypocrisy and sociability is that sociability is a desirable legal behaviour in order to improve either life on earth or religion or so as to improve both by sacrificing the worldly affairs, while hypocrisy aims at sacrificing religion for the sake of the worldly affairs. The Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "Being sociable is as alms-giving." The Muslim who visits his sick Muslim brother in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the evening, and if he visits him in the evening, then seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the morning. And he will be granted a mansion (for it) in Jannah.(Tirmidhi) Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] was asked about the deeds which lead most of the people into Jannah. He replied, 'The fear of Allah and good manners.' (Tirmidhi) Family ties are
suspended from the Arsh (Throne of Allah). It proclaims:
Whoever upholds me, may Allah keep good relations with
him and whoever severs me, may Allah sever His relation (of mercy) from him.(Bukhaari and Muslim). Source: http://islamicfrat.com/index.php/post/107-tips-on-how-to-win-people-s-heart
