It was narrated that Ka‘b ibn ‘Ajrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to me: “Charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.” Al-Tirmidhi (614); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Sunan al-Tirmidhi.

How has the past week of Ramadan been for you?

Any highlights or lowlights you'd like to share?

Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Mawla (protector).” And in Allah let the believers put their trust.

She can wear trousers at home and wear something more covering outside.

Kakayaraznits:
Hi everyone. Abeg don't mind my curiosity, i read thru this thread small and observed that most comments are related to UAE. But the topic includes Qatar....
Are the visa procedures same? Are there job opportunities there? Can agents help with Qatar visa too? I'll appreciate response with info.
Regards.

I think the visa procedures are similar

Not sure about agents or job opportunities.

How are you doing? How is your uncle's wife also doing?

Is she still at home or has she been able to do Xray?

Honestly, learning a skill isn't all that hard. Even the internet has really facilitated things to be very easy. I got to learn many things just from blogs and YouTube videos, whereas others pay people to learn such. To me, what matters the most is just having that zeal, desire and time to dedicate.[b]

YES!

And Yes, having high grades is not a bad thing at all. One should still always strive hard to attain the best scores and grades. My point is just simply that one must not just sit back and rely on only this.

Thanks for this! I find this really encouraging "one should stive hard to attain the best scores and grades". Yup. I got your orginal point.

AbdelKabir:
A transgressor, a transgressor of Allaah's commandment is unjust.....

Okaay so from my understanding a stubborn unjust person is the one who denies the truth and continues his actions.

Jazakallahu Khyran for your contribution Aideesheks.

I wanted to talk about education but I wasn't sure how it would be received plus I don't know the system. If the educational system isn't preparing people for the workplace then there needs to be a reform. But how do we get the system reformed?

Excluding the government, how can an individual enhance his/her skills?

I think an individual can take up the responsibilities to better improve his/her skills by taking external courses and attending workshops. I also think for one to be motivated to improve his/her skills, there needs to be a passion/drive for the studied course. One of the things I think we need in Nigeria is more universities, people are sometimes forced to study courses that they don't want simply because there are a lot of applicants and not enough room for everybody. This is also true in developed countries as well, but it seems to be quite high in Nigeria.

I agree that having a high grade doesn't necessarily translate ton increased chances of employment and I have been told this countless times by instructors but I still don't know why grades mean a lot me- I love being the best that there is or at least one of the best, but I can't deny that doing well academically is a value that has been instilled since I was young.

I also think parents should be more open to the idea that education is broad- it doesn't just have to do with grades and working in an office.

AbdelKabir:
I think this answers your question;

Jazakallahu Khyran

Who is considered unjust though?

AbdelKabir:
Why is this?

I don't know. Probably because I am not good at it and I don't fancy it tbh. I usually like doing things I love. I can do anything science related *including physics* but when it comes to technology, its just not my thing.

Demmzy15:
Before I got to the university, I've always visualized myself working in an oiyel company-collecting 6 to 7 digit salary but entrepreneurship course changed my perception totally.

Who doesn't want a 6-7 digit salary?

If I eventually get into an oil company, I'll work under someone and that's the end. I've not contributed to the society, but if I graduate(probably after masters) work let's say in a robotics firm for some years and eventually come back and start something in Nigeria, then I've contributed greatly(because this concepts can be used in almost every aspect of our lives).

I agree with this!

This is what entrepreneurship taught me, my dad also told me, if I could make something for my final year project which could be commercialized and produced, this will also help. I tell you Ukti, in Nigeria, there's great opportunity. I've also noticed that the 'Bank of Industry' also helps when you present something tangible to them!

I like how you are talking about creating things. I think we need more industries! But what about people who don't know jack about creating things? I've thought to learn about programming and software stuff but I HATE anything IT related. I don't know anything about engineering either. I am just managing the computer science course I'm taking because it's compulsory. Now for someone with a background in health sciences, the way I would love to contribute to my country is by providing health services either by working with the Ministry of health *which I need connections for*, working for an NGO or starting up my own hospital *which I need money for*.

Jazakallahu khayran for telling me about the entrepreneurship course. I was thinking of taking one over the summer but I wasn't exactly sure about. I will consider doing that now, so if you can recommenced online courses, that would be great.

One of the things I learnt recently is that people who are powerless don't think it's possible to have power. Power doesn't mean necessarily mean authority but to control over one's life- the type of housing, jobs, neighborhoods etc. This made me think of Nigeria honestly.. we are so used to bad leadership that it is a norm and we don't believe sometimes that it possible to change situations. I actually don't realistically see Nigeria changing for the better anytime soon and I am not trying to be pessimistic.

Demmzy15:
Of course yes, but is it possible? Even before the youth can occupy this position, he still needs connections!

True... but it's not he connection that bothers me. It's the fact that people lose their lives.

Demmzy15:
I think it's all universities. I offered entrepreneurship for 3years and its compulsory. It made me think of how I can contribute to the society and this is why till today I'm still planning on how to contribute to the society. The lecturer advised that even if you work under someone, it should be temporary, you should set up and help others.

This is wonderful. How did it change you as person? What did you learn in terms of being an entrepreneur *very briefly*?

YES.

Am I the only one thinking, perhaps we need younger, competent, and vision driven youths occupying government positions?

Demmzy15:
Wallahi Ukti oro naijirea ti su mi o! We just hope Allaah help us all.

As for your questions, I might not be able to answer correctly due to fact I'm yet to be introduced into the workforce. But I'll try my best!

1. It's unfortunate that we're in this stage, there's almost nothing you can achieve without connections. I'll use myself as a case study, when I was about to get into secondary school, I applied for a school in Ilorin then. The admission had long closed and the school were firm(they were not admitting) again, but my dad made a few calls and they retracted and admitted me. If it were to be other societies, omo forget that year, that's the end.

Many gain jobs based on their fields while others don't, some even have to go back and study something different before they can get a job(actually this is also a case in other developed countries as well).

2. As KB said, Nigeria is a blessed country. We are capable of becoming a superpower because we have the necessary resources(mineral and human), so we have untapped resources. Jobs could be created by the youths themselves, this is why entrepreneurship as a course of study has been introduced into the university curricula.

Can you tell me more about this? Is it across all universities and it is a compulsory course?
