Happiness is not a matter of how your outer life appears to someone else. Happiness is a state of consciousness.

Always remember you’re not alone.

Spirit is always with us, always guiding, always protecting, always attempting to bring joy and make our life better, but that doesn’t mean that we are always aware and listening.

What we are aiming for is not to avoid the roller-coaster effect of life, but to gain the middle path. This means the path of moderation, the balanced outlook, the spiritual viewpoint that no matter what happens, the sorrows of life will not bury us forever. When loved ones leave in death, we cry—but not forever. We are able to face life knowing that they will still live on in full consciousness.

We know that the divine cause, the Divine Being, has put us here to learn something. It is up to us to go out into life and find out what it is.

Abutcher identified as Usman Buda has been killed in Sokoto, Northwest Nigeria for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

According to Daily Trust, the butcher allegedly made the comment during an argument with another trader at the Sokoto main Abattoir around 8 am on Sunday.


“Our leaders made a fruitless attempt to save him but they could not contain the crowd. They initially rescued him and hid him before they were overpowered.

“He was beaten to death by his fellow butchers. His corpse was later taken away by the police,” an eyewitness told Daily Trust.

Another account said some of Buda’s closest business partners who attempted to rescue him sustained injuries and “are currently receiving treatment at the hospital”.


The deceased reportedly hailed from Tambuwal local government area but resided at Gidan Igwe in Sokoto North local government area.

He sold cow entrails at the Sokoto Fish and Vegetables Market.

One of his neighbours identified as Malam Yusuf described his death as painful.

“Usman is my immediate neighbour. He is very religious; in fact, he belonged to Izala sect. We prayed and attended Tafsir together at primary board quarters. There is no way he could make such a statement against the Holy Prophet.

“There must be a reason behind his murder because he is very popular in his business of selling cow entrails and was envied by many of his colleagues,” he said.

A trader who sells perishable goods at Kasuwan Dankure meat and vegetable market whose stand was next to that of Buda also expressed shock over the tragic incident.

“I have not been myself since I heard about what happened. I know Usman liked arguments on religious issues but I didn’t hear him even for once using derogatory remarks against the Prophet’s companions,” he said

However, the specific statement made by Buda which was considered to be blasphemous was not stated in the report.

Meanwhile, the state police command has confirmed the mob killing.

The command said it received a distress call at about 9:20 am that one Usman Buda of Gwandu local government area, a “butcher at Sokoto Abattoir allegedly blasphemed the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and as a result, he was mobbed and attacked”.



“Upon receiving the information, the Commissioner of Police, Area Commander Metro and DPO Kwanni led a team of policemen and all other operational commanders to the scene.



“On arrival, the mob escaped the scene and left the victim unconscious where he was rescued and taken to Usmanu Danfodiyo Teaching Hospital Sokoto (UDUTH) for treatment and was later confirmed dead,” a statement signed by the spokesperson for the police command, ASP Ahmad Rufa’I, said.



“Meanwhile, Investigation is on to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to book,” it added



In May 2022, SaharaReporters reported how a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, was burnt to death by her colleagues for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad.

She was beaten and killed by Muslim students who dragged her out of her hostel.

Meanwhile, her gruesome murder was connected to a voice note the deceased sent to her class WhatsApp group.

According to a Twitter link as seen by SaharaReporters, the female student was said to have sent a voice note, protesting against the incessant sending of ‘unnecessary messages’ to the group by her mates.

Her death attracted the outrage of many Nigerians including the Sultan of Sokoto State, who condemned the unwarranted attack and called on the police to investigate and arrest the perpetrators.

However, over a year after her gruesome murder, the police have yet to arrest any of her killers.

Stories like this for example are what encourages atheism.

If a believe in God or religion can drive me to lay my hands on my fellow human being to the extent of even killing him or her, then I am better off without one.

The right of choice: It’s our attitude—the way we look at things—that often determines whether we are happy or miserable, whether we are full of love or full of fear.

I have always said it again and again that a religion will always be judged by the behaviour of its followers. Likewise the existence of God will be proved by the behaviour of those who claim to believe in God.

In the above context, religions have been a complete failure in proving to the world that God exist. The behaviour of religious followers are actually the reason why Atheist exist.

You now find yourself in a world where people who don't believe in God are more loving, more humane and more progressive than people who profess that they believe in and love God and yet all you get from them is killings, hypocrisy, discriminations etc.

Religious people should kindly leave Atheists alone and focus on expressing the love of God, which they claim to believe in, in their lives.
That to me is a more powerful evangelism that anything you can say.

Answers may not come during contemplation. Often they come later. But they do come."
—Harold Klemp

Be prepared so you are always at peace inside yourself, so you feel you are prepared; and know that the answer, or the solution, for every moment in your life is at hand in one way or another.

As long as you are patient and look to the Sound and Light, which may come as a gentle nudge, which may come as a feeling, you will be prepared.

Some of the religious teachings believe body and Soul are one and the same. In Eckankar we believe Soul comes in and takes on the physical body as a temple to use so It can move in this physical world.
