The Power of Giving during Ramadan

Ramadan is a revered time for Muslims, offering an opportunity for introspection while also promoting charitable acts. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of generosity towards the less fortunate, and during this sacred month, every act of kindness, no matter how small, holds great significance. Through giving in all forms, Muslims demonstrate their gratitude to Allah (SWT).


One of the most significant acts of benevolence during Ramadan is providing food to those in need. Muslims are encouraged to contribute a portion of their wealth in the way of Allah, which brings them closer to Him. Allah's boundless compassion promises to multiply the giver's reward for helping those in dire need. As the Prophet declared, the most excellent form of charity is the one given during Ramadan.


Moreover, charitable actions extend beyond providing financial aid or food. This is a time to volunteer your time and energy with organizations that aid those in need. By offering your time for service, you will not only receive a huge reward but also have the chance to cultivate and strengthen relationships within your community.


Hence, I implore you to extend a generous hand to the person in need who may be right beside you. By doing so, you'll reap tremendous rewards from Allah. This Ramadan, make a concerted effort to assist as many people as possible. Spread cheer by making other people smile. Undoubtedly, your compassionate actions will serve as an inspiration, motivating others to follow suit and give back to their communities.


May Allah grant us the means to spread joy and happiness by spending on His cause, and may our fasting and prayers be accepted by Him. May this humble message motivate you to make a positive difference in the world.

Genetically Modified Organisms: A Sustainable Path to a Food-Secure Future

Image
I know this may not be a relevant topic to what is happening in Nigeria right now. But we cannot deny the fact that hunger is ravaging the foundation of our societies. This is worrying considering that the world population is projected to reach over 9 billion people in the coming decades. That means we need to produce more food than at any time in history. As a science student, I firmly believe that science deserves as much attention as we give to politics and other trivial issues. Because we can find so many solutions to our problems, including hunger, through science.

First, genetics is a branch of biology that deals with " heredity " and other forms of " variation in living organisms ," be it plants, animals, and microbes. Second, genetically modified organisms are organisms in which their genetic material is manipulated to ...

An Overview of My NYSC Experience: What You Should Know

Established in 1973, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) aimed to facilitate national integration after Nigeria suffered from a civil war that spanned from 1967-1970. The scheme's objectives were straightforward: to “reconcile, reconstruct, rehabilitate” and mend the lines of divide and distrust among Nigerians. Furthermore, the scheme aimed to instill discipline, a genuine sense of patriotism, and personal development in the youth service corps. Tertiary institution graduates below the age of 30 are the eligible candidates who are mobilized in batches A, B, and C, as well as Streams I & II, to undergo this tasking journey. They are then deployed across the six geopolitical zones of the country to undergo a three-week on-camp orientation followed by a one-year national service.  Arriving at the Orientation Camp Upon arriving at the Kaduna State temporary orientation camp, Government College, Kurmin Mashi, at sunset, I was greeted by different security officials ...

How My First True Love Story Ended

Image
Myself 🤨 The day had been long and stressful. I got back to the hostel at 6 p.m., weary from lectures. Suleiman Hall in ABU Zaria is often congested in the evenings with students trudging to their rooms, mosque, or toilet. I can't remember the date, but the hostel was as noisy as usual when I entered. The noise level was high, with music blaring from some rooms and laughter and conversation echoing down the corridors. My room was on the second floor of block F4, but that day I chose to go to my friend's room, which is on the ground floor to perform ablution and pray the Maghrib Prayer. When I walked into the room, all of the kettles were taken. I had to wait for someone before I prayed. My phone rang as I was waiting for my turn. I answered the phone, and an unknown woman's voice on the other end greeted me. "Please, is this Adamu?" she inquired. "Yes, who is this?" I replied quickly. She went on to say that her friend gave her my phone numb...
