According to Prof. Sani Zaharaddeen, Chief Imam Kano State:

A businessman and a great farmer from Kano state, Alh.Sani Kabara sent a truck load of bags of maize to Sheikh Gumi in Kaduna as Zakat. The truck arrived Kaduna at about 2a.m., Sheikh Gumi was told that it was from Kabara. Gumi said, he should not do that again because there were many poor people in Kano that the Zakat belonged to. Gumi said, but since he had already brought it here may Allah reward him.That very night, from 2a.m till Fajr Sheikh Gumi distributed all the bags to the needy without taking any for himself.- (The Selfless Reformer: Sheikh Abubakar Mahmud Gumi).

According to Prof. Sani Zaharaddeen, Chief Imam Kano State:

At heights of the Tariqa-Izala conflicts the then Federal Government sent a delegation of Ulama to some Muslims countries to learn on how to leave in peace between sects. As the secretary of the delegation I brought Sheikh Gumi his Estacode , he asked me what was if for, I told him it was given to us by the government which he said, I should keep for him. I kept his own account whenever I paid for my expenses I also paid for his. After the tour there was excess money left. I gave him the balance he asked again what for? I reminded him, he said were we not supposed to return it to the government, I told him No, it "Estacode" not an "Advance" it is all yours. He then asked me what am I going to with my own? I told him I will buy souvenirs for my children and friends. He then said, bought me whatever you bought. I asked him the sizes to buy, he said, he had no particular sizes, any size you want to buy, then buy for me.Gumi said, anybody that got a  gown or shirt that didn't fit him or her should give to someone that it fits. When I bought the souvenirs filled in a Box, Gumi said, Zaharadeen are all these mine? I said yes, he said you were turning me into something else. I told him, but is all your money.(The Selfless Reformer: Sheikh Abubakar Mahmud Gumi).

May the Almighty Allah have mercy on our highly revered Sheikh.

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION                             By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                October 19, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict"-Martin Luther King, Jr. Permit me to add my voice on the ongoing massacre of women, children, and armless civilians in Palestine. In my thought, it is not about who triggers the present massacre of the Palestinians , but it is time to talk about the 76 years of massacre of women, children, and the armless civilians of Palestine by the state of Israel which is being watched helplessly by the entire world. Before 1948, the Jews worldwide lived predominantly outside Palestine.They lived predominantly in easter...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY                                By:                          May 19th, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Barring any last minute changes a "bill" for the recognition of an independent candidacy will be transmitted to Mr president for his "assent". In my thought, if the "bill" is finally "signed" into law it will largely "checkmate" the "excesses" of "governors" and "moneybags" politicians who often denied "credible" candidates "tickets"in order to pave ways for their "anointed" ones no matter their weaknesses. In our modern day politics, we have had enough cases where "credible", "competent", and "popular" candidates loss primary elections due to lack of "money" or "godfather" or state governor's anointment.  In my thought, allowing independent...

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES                         By              Nurudeen Dauda                May 5, 2019 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, there is now an alleged "drug cartel" in our airports which specialised in planting drugs on unsuspecting airtravellers. Of the six alleged members of the drug cartel arrested in connection with planting of Tramadol in a bag bearing Zainab Habibu Aliyu's name, three were said to be "clearing agents", two were said to be staff of a"security company" and one a staff of an "airline handling company". In my observation, the arrest of Miss Aliyu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in respect of 2000 packs of "Tramadol" said to be found in a bag bearing her name has nothing , but succeeded in exposing our institutional weaknesses.Heads shoul...
