Lukgaf:
Allah descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains. The descent of Allah to the lowest heaven is in a real sense, in a manner that befits His Majesty and Might. Allah descends however He wills, whenever He wills.

It was narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih (1145) and by Muslim (1261) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains and says: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’”

It should be noted that the descent of the Lord – may He be Exalted – to the lowest heaven is one of the actions that are attributed to Him and has to do with His will and wisdom. It is descending in a real sense, in a manner that befits His Majesty and Might. Allah descends however He wills, whenever He wills. Glory be to Him, there is nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

It is not permissible to distort the meaning of the Hadith by saying that what is meant is that His command or mercy descends, or that one of His angels descends.

And Allah knows best

Rashduct4luv:
“Or like the one who passed by a town in ruin up to its roofs. He said: “How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death” So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: “How long did you remain (dead)” He (the man) said: “(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day.” He said: “Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change; and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh.” When this was clearly shown to him, he said, “I know (now) that Allah is able to do all things.” (Qur’an 2.259)

Allah’s statement,

(Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord) means, “Have you seen anyone like the person who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord” Then, Allah connected the Ayah,

(Or like the one who passed by a town in ruin up to its roofs) to the Ayah above by using `or’.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ali bin Abi Talib said that the Ayah (2:259) meant `Uzayr. Ibn Jarir also reported it, and this explanation was also reported by Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim from Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Sulayman bin Buraydah.

Mujahid bin Jabr said that the Ayah refers to a man from the Children of Israel, and the village was Jerusalem, after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it and killed its people.

(in ruin) means, it became empty of people. Allah’s statement,

(up to its roofs) indicates that the roofs and walls (of the village) fell to the ground. `Uzayr stood contemplating about what had happened to that city, after a great civilization used to inhabit it. He said,

(Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death) because of the utter destruction he saw and the implausibility of its returning to what it used to be. Allah said,

(So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again).)

The city was rebuilt seventy years after the man (`Uzayr) died, and its inhabitants increased and the Children of Israel moved back to it. When Allah resurrected `Uzayr after he died, the first organ that He resurrected were his eyes, so that he could witness what Allah does with him, how He brings life back to his body. When his resurrection was complete, Allah said to him, meaning through the angel,

(“How long did you remain (dead)” He (the man) said: “(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day.”)

The scholars said that since the man died in the early part of the day and Allah resurrected him in the latter part of the day, when he saw that the sun was still apparent, he thought that it was the sun of that very day. He said,

(“Or part of a day. ” He said: “Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change.”)

He had grapes, figs and juice, and he found them as he left them; neither did the juice spoil nor the figs become bitter nor the grapes rot.

(And look at your donkey!), “How Allah brings it back to life while you are watching.”

(And thus We have made of you a sign for the people) that Resurrection occurs.

(Look at the bones, how We Nunshizuha) meaning, collect them and put them back together. In his Mustadrak, Al-Hakim, recorded that Kharijah bin Zayd bin Thabit said that his father said that the Messenger of Allah read this Ayah,

(how We Nunshizuha.) Al-Hakim said; “Its chain is Sahih and they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.” The Ayah was also read,

(نُنْشِرُهَا)

“Nunshiruha” meaning, bring them back to life, as Mujahid stated.

(And clothe them with flesh. )

As-Suddi said, ” `Uzayr observed the bones of his donkey, which were scattered all around him to his right and left, and Allah sent a wind that collected the bones from all over the area. Allah then brought every bone to its place, until they formed a full donkey made of fleshless bones. Allah then covered these bones with flesh, nerves, veins and skin. Allah sent an angel who blew life in the donkeys’ nostrils, and the donkey started to bray by Allah’s leave.” All this occurred while `Uzayr was watching, and this is when he proclaimed,

(He said, “I know (now) that Allah is able to do all things,”) meaning, “I know that, and I did witness it with my own eyes. Therefore, I am the most knowledgeable in this matter among the people of my time.”

You can have a large land mass and still be a useless nation,its not really about size again but intellect and military strength,Israel is the size of just 3 southeast states let's say Enugu,IMO and abia, with lesser population but she is the most feared nation in the middle east short man devil,despite being small in size no Arab invasion has ever crossed the Israeli border successfully since the creation of israel.

chigator2:
OP Singapore us too big for this losers self. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria by land size and Singapore as an entire is smaller than Lagos yet has a better GDP per Capita than Zooland and GDP difference between both countries is less than $50 billion.

Singapore is also a net exporter but these big for nothing mofos here will be celebrating over worthless dump sites at their father's backyard.

Crypto will fetch you more than Email marketing with minimal effort when starting.

Email marketing is not just something you start earning from as a newbie.

But my advice is for you to learn marketing and come to web3/crypto to offer those services.

You'd be grateful you did.

How did I know this?

Because I'm into web3 content marketing & there is good money to be made here

Reno doesn't have sense

When governors were getting smaller allocation, inflation hasn't condemned the economy, even with increased allocation, the money is useless like tissue paper.

mycar:
Things were not too bad then, inflation never exceeded single digit, please do not rubbish NOI good job. Gej met corruption and introduced measures to curb it through, IPPIS, BVN, Single treasury account and others, tell me any measure introduced by Buhari and Tinubu. If it was GEJ and NOI, they would have found a better way to control the FX transactions. APC people are simply demonic

makemoneywbsite:
Another ebin pawa talk.

makemoneywbsite:
These men understood the ingenuity of the IBO's and used them as the bulwark of their economic policies.

Immediately Buhari and Tinubu grabbed power, they thought they could do without the IBO's....

Party scatter.

9jatriot:
This is the man that was shouting "From consumption to Production" during the campaigns, yet all his suggestions here are to allow his fellow importers to get cheap access to forex, some of which will find their way to the black market after getting it at a cheap rate if the government were to accept his proposition.

Even now, one can tell that he does not understand the scale of problems he would have had to face if he were elected. He would have had to make a choice between increased borrowing to subsidize importation, which was the option Buhari chose or remove some plugs so that we really understand the mess we are in.
By that I mean, before now, everyone thought that if the dollar was left to float that it would settle at around 750 naira, now we now know that it is climbing to 3000. At least we now know and not the false life we were living before.

It is also ironic that he had to make his suggestion only after Atiku had made his suggestion of managed floating, which wasn't too different from what Emefiele was doing anyway.

Every sensible person can now see that PO rhetorics of "Consumption to Production" was just a catchphrase that had no substance or plans backing it up.

What Nigeria needs right now is better security so that old and new farmers can go to their farms, those dislodged from their locations can also go back and stop being refugees or IDP camp. Once we can solve the food part then we can seat down as a people and start learning to produce things for ourselves, afterall, we have engineers in this country. Now is the time for them to start producing some simple things. Leave producing cars, TV, phones and complex stuff for now. We should not be importing or assembling things like fans, recheageable lamps, generators and many other simple stuffs.
