DEATH by Abdulrahman Mas'ud

Image
Oh death! don't come to me You master with countless servants  Taker of souls without consideration Walking gently like a midnight runner Oh death! don't come to me The master that doesn't distinguish  Between the young and the old And without respecting the order of age.  A five letters word That takes the living from the world  Denying him from existing in this world  And take him to an endless world.  The birth of humans bring happiness  Existing in this world is a show of kindness From the lord of the greatest  And death comes with sadness  The invisible master that brings loss To the bereaved family of the dead Bringing relief and relaxation  To the ones in agony and pain  An excuse to escape the vanity of life   Putting a stop to the life of the living dead Even though the tears of  sympathizers is a river But the dead cannot be resurrected.

"Birth" by Abdulrahman Mas'ud

Image
When the mother is in labour Asking God for his endless Favour With her face wet like a glass wet by rainfall  And the cry of her baby makes her gracious  With husband outside with no ease Praying for her wife to give birth with peace  And relatives telling him to be a man and sit Assuring him that everything will be at ease Like someone with a lead  Coming out of her womb Like a newbie going for a shoot Welcomed to the world with pleasant looks Like a celebrity who is  just booked  And they walk out of the theater  Talking to him gently and not louder Telling him his child is not in the hereafter And that his wife is healthy as usual.

Read Full Details As India Court Upholds Ban On Hijab In Schools

Image
  An Indian court has upheld a   ban on the hijab in class   in the southern state of Karnataka, governed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “We are of the considered opinion that wearing of hijab by Muslim women does not form a part of essential religious practice,” Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi of the Karnataka High Court said in a judgement on Tuesday. He said the government had the power to prescribe uniform guidelines, dismissing various petitions challenging the order. Students who had challenged the ban in court had said wearing the hijab was a fundamental right guaranteed under India’s constitution and an essential practice of Islam. Tuesday’s ruling could set a precedent for the rest of the country, home to more than 200 million Muslims who make up about 14 percent of India’s 1.35 billion population. Currently, there is no central law or rule on school uniforms across the country, but the Karnataka ruling could prompt more states to ...

Matriculation by Abdulrahman Mas'ud

Image
Looking at the moon smiling And the sun in the day shining Memories of the past keep coming  Like a video on the screen playing  To the days we burn candles at night  All fighting for a place which is always tight Asking God to give us more might So that we will be the hop and people's light  After several weeks of combating WASSCE Reading day and night to conquer the almighty JAMB Coming from different places for the POST-UTME And here we are celebrating our entrance  We celebrate like kids though we are well grown  Telling our friends and those that are well known  That our results are good as they all know  And we are here celebrating in our own gown  The starting point of a new life,  No, the continuation of the previous step Seeing how things are arranged step by step And convocation is our next step

POEM: The Sky By Abdulrahman Mos'ud

Image
Oh! you the cover of mother earth  That contain lives of different kinds Living peacefully with beautiful hearts And hopefully with what they are good at.  You are the sheet that gives the rain Bringing out crops from earth including grains Making the efforts of farmers not to be in vain So that peace will reign You are the space that houses the sunlight Giving us the illuminated moon for its moonlight  Making the earth lively with rays of light  And there come days and nights.

Faatimah Titilope Musari is the embodiment of numerous human virtues. She is a sweet, loving, beautiful, accommodating, knowledgeable, religious, sincere, patient and true person, who tries not to hurt anyone's feelings.  You're one of the kindest people I've ever been lucky enough to know, meeting you was never a wrong choice nor a mere coincidence.

An Epistle To Sister Musari Fatimoh On Her Induction As A Physiotherapist By Safiyyah Abdulhadi

Image
Permit me a space in your heart to heartily felicitate with my dearest sister, PT Musari Fatimoh who has just been inducted as a Physiotherapist. The love I have for this rare gem can't be captured in written form because ink will gonna dry before I finish. If only I could tell a story about you, dear sister Fatimah, it would be the greatest story ever told of a kind and warm heart. You are a living and caring sister that has a generous heart of gold. I am failed by diction in providing the right words that would correctly describe your sterling qualities. My head is filled with images but my education couldn't arm me with words to say how exactly you are.  If I continue to write, I will write millions of pages yet, none of those words will exactly describe yourself, your resources, your love, your everything, how dedicated you are in caring for those around you and your generous smile, sincere advice, and kind words that soothe all troubled souls around you, your p...
