My Hijab, My Deen By Rodiat Eniola

Image
The Hijab is what differentiates me from other people in other religion. It is the commandment of my Lord mandated on all believing women. Because I am one, I hijabize myself. I accept hijazabization as it brings honour and respect to me, from my gender and opposite gender. Using the Hijab is a form of modesty, pure and unique. Without it, I feel uncomfortable and empty. My Lord imposed it on me and it is part of me. It conceals me and myself and I love it.  I'm an Hijabite, let them say what they love about it, let them speak against it, there's freedom of speech. They deprived me of my right, just because I obey my Lord's command, frustrating me to remove it. I refused to dance to their tune and they were shocked.  I make friends with opposite religion, The Hijab, gives no right for  me to discriminate.  I follow my Lord's commandment over me, He gave me Life, He gave me good health, He gave me knowledge and understanding to understand many things. Am I...

My First Exam In OAU And Lessons For Nigerian Students By Rodiat Eniola

Image
Alhamdulillah, all praises and adorations belong to the Lord of the world, who ensures things are perfected. I started my examinations with YOR111 which happens to be my first exam as an OAU student. I wrote it on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 Wednesday at Ajose LT. My first encounter began when I didn't know my way to Ajose LT, but Alhamdulillah,I was directed by a Godsend.  The exam was scheduled to hold between 4pm and 7pm. As eager as I was to participate in the exam, I arrived the venue as early as possible. I have learnt in my high school that, a student is expected to be at examination venue at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time. So I got there before 3:30 pm even when the exam was supposed to hold by 4pm. I believed I may come across those who I can share ideas with and I was right. I questioned few of my coursemate since the course itself is unpredictable. To my surprise, the Lecturer in charge of the course, who was also the Invigilator, arrived before ...

The Sun Has Ceased To Rise by Abdul-Rahmon Mos'ud

Image
The sun has ceased to rise The stars have stopped to twinkle The moon has stopped to bright Making the moon's face full of anger The mother earth has refused to cry  Making all it inhabitants suffer  The seed that cease to grow on manure Picked from a dead adult Lying low beneath the rug of nature Not being able to be nurtured The dead leaf from it mother tree falling  Brown colored like an inflected patient coughing The burning tree of winter  Standing with it root deep in water The rising of the sun from west to east No, its rising from east to west  The darkness covering the earth in the day  Leaving the moon with no ray.

Silent loudness by Abdulrahman Mas'ud

Image
My pen cries on the pangs of hunger My ink goes down on a white fever As my heart throbs and  throbs  My throat was a row of screaming prayers  The aching feet of an old man Torn apart by his walk on amber Yearning for all he craves Avoiding the untimely visit to the grave Billions of hearts torn to pieces  By the shepherds living in blisses Turning a deaf ear to the cry of the masses Leaving them to feed on poisonous grasses Like a cruel master and his loyal servants  Depriving them of their rights as other merchants  Setting aback the request of their pathetic whisper  Making them work with severe hunger Pregnant protesters that are always in labour Yet, a stillbirth is all they harbor  Not that their murmurs were never heard But the grown are being wicked.

My Health, My Wealth By Osho Barakatullah Jadesola (Mumtaazah)

Image
One invaluable gift under-appreciated is sound health.  We go about our daily activities, neglecting our health. We plan various ways of making money, having fun and other activities, neglecting our health. As we say, health is wealth, it is when one is healthy that one will be able to carry out different activities. There are many factors we consider in caring for our health. Foremost and most important is what we eat. The food we eat plays an important role in our health. We have to eat well-cooked food and a balanced diet to maintain our health.  Another important factor people tend to neglect is cleanliness. Cleanliness in what we eat, what we wear, and where we live, helps in achieving sound health. Moreover, cleanliness is next to Godliness.  Cosmetics, beauty products, and skin products must be carefully selected because they also contribute to sound health. What we use on our skin does not just disappear, it gets absorbed into the bloodstream and is tr...
