motayoayinde:
Allah kept his promise. He gave victory to
Muslims over the nations.
He also gave them rulership over a very large part of the world, lasting hundreds of years.

Within the period (middle ages to the 18th century), the Muslims lead the world in all branches of knowledge; sciences, medicine, politics, law, math, philosophy and many more.

Some were giants in Islamic law and from their works, schools of thought (madhaahib) evolved.

Some were geniuses, who combined Islamic law with physical science and philosophy,
leaving written works in volumes for latter generations.

With these giants, scholars in different fields, Allah established the Muslim reign in the world for about a thousand years.

Some were contemporaries and some came many centuries after others.
Giants they all were nonetheless. May Allah's blessings be with them all.

As you read this, many names are popping up in your mind as to which of them is/are your favourite(s). If you're conversant with the history of Islam, you may have a hard time choosing.

Never mind, you can choose more than one, in different fields, past or present.
You can also choose from among the Prophet's companions but NOT the holy Prophet (saw). He's not in this category.

Mine is Imam Mahdi of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. That Man was a Genius, a philosopher, and above all, a rational and logical human. Each time I read his books, I'm more than inspired and happy, and I feel Islam is the best.
I'm starting to like this social media man, can't remember his name.

But you see some many other Muslim scholars,astagfirrula, if there was no imam mahdi, I would have left the religion because what they preach is off rational and logical and my being only operate with science and logic. If you can't explain it, don't bring it to me and tell me to swallow it for no reason but because it's meant to be swallowed. And you tell me,if you are a Muslim, you need to swallow it without asking questions/ telling me asking questions is a sin,lol.
Sorry, you will need to take it to Africans, bcx they are the race known for swallowing any superstitious beliefs/other people cultures without any atom of reasoning.
Yeah, I'm black, but the minute I left Africa,I've thrown the black man's mentality away, sorry,I never had them, and that's why I had to leave

This post just reminded me how blessed I am to have left the black Nation, no more religious toxicity. Christian neighbors shouting on my head,and Muslims acting like they are God. Now,I go to mosque in peace without ridiculous preachings not people in the mosque whistling and discussing ridiculous topics,I was running mad. Now, my life is so peaceful,Alhamdulillah. People can practice what they like, how they like it without disturbing fellow neighbors,or the society and without being judged by the society,as long as you are not disturbing anyone

You will understand Islam is a religion of peace when you go to a peaceful Nation
If we are similar,the earlier you leave, the better

God!!! We got'em loads
1.Shaikh Ahmad Attijaniy( great of scholar of all times, born in Algeria and later died in Morocco Fez where his Zawiyya is now, Qutb al-Aqtab (or the Pole of the Poles) and Khatm al-Walayya al-Muhammadiyya (or the Seal of Muhammadan Sainthood), some of his quotes are The bounties that flow from the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) are received by the natures of the prophets, and everything that flows and emerges from the natures of the Prophets is received by my own nature, and from me it is distributed to all creatures from the origin of the world until the blowing on the trumpet... No saint drinks or provides water to drink, except from our ocean, from the origin of the world until the blowing on the trumpet... 'The spirit of the Prophet and my spirit are like this' – pointing with his two fingers, the index finger and the middle finger. 'His spirit supports the Messengers and the Prophets and my spirit supports the poles, the sages, the saints, from pre-existence to eternity (mina al-azal ila abad)... These two feet of mine are upon the neck of every saint of Allah, from the time of Adam until the blowing of the trumpet... 'Our station in the Presence of Allah in the Hereafter will not be attained by any of the saints, and it will not be approached by anyone, whether his importance is great or small. Of all the saints among from the very beginning of creation until the blowing on the trumpet, there is not one who will attain to my station.

2.Shaikh El hadj Ibrahim Niasse, the first West African to have led al-Azhar Mosque in Egypt, after which he was styled "Sheikh al-Islam".He became close to many freedom fighters in West Africa due to his contribution for Independence in African States. He was friends with and an adviser to Ghana's first President, Kwame Nkrumah, and friends with Gamal Abdel Nasser and King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. In 1937 upon meeting Shaykh Ibrahim during a pilgrimage to Makkah, the Emir of Kano, Nigeria, Alhaji 'Abdullahi Bayero gave his oath of allegiance to the shaykh and declared himself a disciple of shaykh Ibrahim. That incident made Shaykh Ibrahim gain the allegiance of many of the prominent Tijānī leaders of Northern Nigeria and also many others who were not Tijani prior to this time.
His branch of the Tijāniyya, Tareeqa al-Tijaniyya al-Ibrahimiyya has become the largest branch in the world. Some of his works include;
a. Sabilu ssadaam fi ibkaa'il maqaam – a book written to defend the state where the Maqam Ibrahim was situated.
b. Ruhul Adab (Spirit of good moral and discipline) translated into English by Sheikh Hassan Cisse.
c. AlIfriqiyya lil Ifriqiyyin (Africa for the Africans) African leaders and freedom fighters under chairmanship of Gamal Abd al-Nasser of Egypt entrusted publishing of this book to Sheikh Sani Auwalu a Nigerian disciple of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyass(RA). And many more.

4. Sheikh Dahiru Usman OFR (born 29 June 1927) is a Nigerian Islamic Scholar. He is among the leaders of the Islamic Sufi group known as the Tijaniyyah in Nigeria.

The renowned Islamic scholar, now in his 90's with more than 80 children and over 200 grand children of which more than half of them are memorizers of the holy Qur'an . Sheikh recently received an award and his name has been carved out in the book of world records being the only man with over 70 children and many grand children that are all Qur'anic reciters. Wonderful

5. Shaykh Jaafar Katsina a great schoolar of all times

6. Shaykh Saeed Potiskum (Sahibul Quran) the man who wrote 66 copies of the holy Qur'an with his bare hands.

7. Shaykh Iliyas Abdurrahman Dan Hassan Kura. A renowned Qur'anic Schoolar

8. Khalifa Sheikh Ishaqa Rabi'u a Nigerian businessman and Islamic scholar who founded a major holding company in Kano State. He was a supporter of Ibrahim Niasse's Tijaniyyah brotherhood.

He is the Son of Muhammadu Rabiu Dan Tinki, a Quranic preacher from the Bichi area of Kano State who led his own Quranic school. From 1936 to 1942, Rabiu attended his father's school learning the Quran and Arabic. He then moved to Maiduguri, Borno for further Islamic education. After spending four years in Maiduguri, he returned to Kano prepared to be an Islamic scholar. In 1949, Rabiu was an independent teacher of Arabic and the Quran who had among his audience Ibrahim Musa Gashash.


In the early 1950s while still a teacher, Rabiu began to engage in private enterprise and established Isyaku Rabiu & Sons in 1952. Originally the firm acted as an agent of UAC and was trading in sewing machines, religious books and bicycles.


In 1972, he formed the Bagauda Textile Mill, manufacturing woven cloths for uniforms. And behold he is the father to the great African multi millionaire ,Alh. Abdussamad Rabi'u ( CEO BUA groups) You've got your answer that yes Bua CEO is also an apprentice of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse.

9. Shaykh Goni Dr. Muneer Ja'afar Katsina,a young, vibrant and renowned Islamic Schoolar, Quranic professor hence the "Goni" a schoolar in different fields of islam. Y'all shall check his videos on the net and see for yourself. And also an Apprentice of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasee

10. Prof. Ibrahim Ahmad Maqari, Professor Ibrahim Maqari began what was to be acknowledged as wonderful working career of lecturing in the famous Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in 1999.

Despite his academic commitments, he was appointed the Deputy Chief Imam of the National Mosque Abuja in 2012. As the Deputy Chief Imam, he straddles between Abuja, Zaria and Kano on a weekly basis.

Professor Ibrahim Maqari is a Member of the Assembly of Muslims in Nigeria, Member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Founder of Tazkiyyah Educational Resource Center, Abuja and Tazkiyah Schools, which has under its domain about 30 Quranic and Islamiyya schools nationwide.

11. Sheikh Dr. Bashir Dahiru Usman Bauchi. A renowned islamic schoolar.

And lastly let me close with one of the most influential and highly revered man in Nigeria and the world at large

12. Khalifa Muhammadu Sunusi II
Muhammadu Sanusi II (Ajami: محمد سانوسي, Muhammadu Sanusi na biyu; born 31 July 1961), known by the religious title Khalifa Sanusi II (Ajami: خليفة السنوسي), is the spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order in Nigeria. He is a member of the Dabo dynasty and was emir (sarki) of the ancient city-state of Kano.He was born in Kano in 1961 into the royal family as the grandson of Muhammadu Sanusi I. He succeeded his great-uncle Ado Bayero to the throne on 8 June 2014, and spent most of his reign advocating for cultural reform in Northern Nigeria, until his dethronement on 9 March 2020 by the state government.

I won't say much on Sanusi coz we all know him and his doings . The biggest part is that he is now the current Khalifa of Tijjaniya in Nigeria. Also an apprentice of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse.

One can conclude that anyone that has role models as I. Indeed blessed is he.

Peace
