Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the best example in worship and conduct. All good manners and virtues were ideally manifest in him. Indeed, it suffices him that Almighty Allah hails His noble character in the Qur’an: And indeed, you are of a great moral character. (Al-Qalam 68:4) Also, he is loved and appreciated by countless numbers of believers. Yet when the testimony for his greatness comes from a non-believer in his message, it has a different meaning. Here we quote what the French poet Alphonse de Lamartine said about him: “Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily or involuntarily, a more sublime aim, since this aim was superhuman; to subvert superstitions which had been imposed between man and his Creator, to render God unto man and man unto God; to restore the rational and sacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing. Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means, for he (Muhammad) had in the conception as well as in the execution of such a great design, no other instrument than himself and no other aid except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a huge and lasting revolution in the world, because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam, in faith and in arms, reigned over the whole of Arabia, and conquered, in God’s name, Persia Khorasan, Transoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt, Abyssinia, all the known continent of Northern Africa, numerous islands of the Mediterranean Sea, Spain, and part of Gaul. “If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls. “On the basis of a Book, every letter which has become law, he created a spiritual nationality which blend together peoples of every tongue and race. He has left the indelible characteristic of this Muslim nationality the hatred of false gods and the passion for the One and Immaterial God. This avenging patriotism against the profanation of Heaven formed the virtue of the followers of Muhammad; the conquest of one-third the earth to the dogma was his miracle; or rather it was not the miracle of man but that of reason. “The idea of the unity of God, proclaimed amidst the exhaustion of the fabulous theogonies, was in itself such a miracle that upon it’s utterance from his lips it destroyed all the ancient temples of idols and set on fire one-third of the world. His life, his meditations, his heroic revelings against the superstitions of his country, and his boldness in defying the furies of idolatry, his firmness in enduring them for fifteen years in Mecca, his acceptance of the role of public scorn and almost of being a victim of his fellow countrymen… This dogma was twofold the unity of God and the immateriality of God: the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with words. “Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs…. The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?”

he Code of Conduct Tribunal has dismissed an application by the senate president, Bukola Saraki, for false asset declaration charges against him to be dropped. Mr. Saraki’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi, had argued that the 13-count charge was invalid procedurally because the Code of Conduct Bureau which filed the charges, failed to allow Mr. Saraki explain discrepancies in his assets declaration forms as required by law. But in his ruling Thursday, the chairman of the tribunal, Danladi Umar, said there was no breach of law as the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 1989, still allows the senate president raise his clarifications at the level of the tribunal. Mr. Danladi said by law, the CCB could receive complaints of breach of the Act and refer such complaints to the Tribunal, provided that it will allow the person involved to give a statement affirming or denying the said misconduct. Also, upholding the argument made by the prosecution, Mr. Umar said Section 3 (e) of the 3rd schedule of the 1999 Constitution gives the bureau the right to receive complaints of such nature and where necessary refer such matter to the tribunal. According to Mr. Danladi, Section 174 of the Constitution also gives the Attorney General of the Federation the prerogative two file criminal proceedings and does not owe any explanations to any one on how to go about it. He therefore ordered the continuation of the trial. Mr. Saraki had earlier lost his bid to stop the trial after the the Supreme Court dismissed his initial objections. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/200738-breaking-saraki-loses-code-conduct-tribunal-refuses-quash-corruption-charges.html |

The federal government is planning to hold its first
initial public offering (IPO) of assets owned by the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in
2018, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources,
Mr. Emmanuel Kachikwu, has said.
“It’s inevitable,” Kachikwu, who also heads the NNPC,
said on Tuesday in an interview in Abu Dhabi.
“Part of the cleaning up process that we’re doing is to
prepare for that,” Bloomberg quoted him as stating.
The plan is to sell NNPC’s shares in its refining and
distribution business and “select” exploration and
production assets to the public, he said.
NNPC manages Nigeria’s stakes in joint ventures with
international oil companies that pump the country’s
crude. It also operates refineries and a distribution
network of depots and pipelines across the country
of about 180 million people.
Kachikwu also said yesterday that some members of
the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) had requested an emergency
meeting, adding that current market conditions
support the need to hold such a gathering before the
June 2 scheduled meeting of the cartel.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, moved to
quash talks of a potential emergency meeting as the
country’s Energy Minister Suhail bin Mohammed al-
Mazroui said that the current OPEC strategy was
working, adding that a period of between one and
one-and-a-half years was needed to allow oil prices
to rebound.
Reuters quoted Kachikwu as telling reporters at an
energy conference in Abu Dhabi that there was a lot
of push from various blocs within OPEC for the
meeting.
“A couple of countries, I don’t want to mention
names,” he said when asked if any had requested
holding an emergency meeting.
According to him, any meeting that would take place
would be to review OPEC’s position to see if there
was any need to change its strategy, adding that the
meeting could take place in February or March.
OPEC heavyweight, Saudi Arabia, which has resisted
calls for a cut in production to help boost prices, was
also said to be against an emergency meeting. https://www.today.ng/business/65426 |
