THE ESSENCE OF RAMADAN - AZEEZAH ADB GHANIY LAWAL

Bismillah I Rahman Raheem

  Allah the Exalted, says:
"O you who believe! The fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you,that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious). Fasting for fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number should be made up from other days. And as for those who can fast in difficulty, (e.g an aged person, pregnant women), they (have a choice ) either to fast  or feed a miskim (poor person) daily. But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him.


And that you fast is better for you if only you know. The month of Ramadan in which was revealed Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (btw right and wrong).
So whoever of you sights the (crescent of the first night) of the month of Ramadan, i.e is present at his home, he must fast that month and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number of days which one misses must be paid up from other days" Q2:v183-185


This has evidenced that it is He Allah (swt) that has made fasting compulsory on us His creation, and it has shown how important Ramadan is, even to the extent that when u are unwell, you must pay back the missed ones when you recover.. Even the weak ones that Allah has mentioned, like our pregnant women, n the old ones, we all know how difficult a condition they are, so Allah in His mercy has given them an option, to either fast or feed a miskin, however, He exaggerated, that *"if only we know how majestic it is, it'd be better we fast"*, Subhanallah, this alone is sending a signal about how wonderful this holy month is..
We pray Allah SWT makes it easy on us all and accept our little effort from us...
Whichever I've said that is good, is from Allah, and whichever I have said wrongly, I pray Allah forgives me, it's from Shaytan and Allah is All-knowing and All-wise..

Subhaanaka Allahumma wa bi hamdik ash-adu an laa ilaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atuubu ilayk

The history of 419 in Nigeria

Well, even in foreign countries, fingers are easily pointed at Nigerians because the outside world believe we are "419ers" Did you know that the first exponent of 419 in Nigeria was not a Nigerian? "On 18 December 1920, a certain Mr. Crentsil, a former employee of the Marine Department of the colonial government in Lagos, wrote an extraordinary letter to a contact in the British colony of the Gold Coast, today's Ghana.... It is ironic that the first known Four One Nine fraudster known to history was not a Nigerian at all, but rather a Ghanaian.  Crentsil seems to have written a number of similar letters, each time offering to provide magical services on payment of a fee.  In December 1921, he was charged by the police with three counts under various sections of the criminal code including section 419... But Crentsil was in luck; the magistrate presiding over his case discharged him with caution on the first count and acquitted him on the two others for la
