Sharing Resources


Sharing Resources
Written on Friday, June 15, 2012

Remember life is a gift and an opportunity, be appreciative of it. Spend your resources wisely, while you still have it.

If you have an abundance of time or you can afford the time to spare, spend it on productive things, share with others.

If you are strong, then use your strength to help the old and weak.

If you are blessed with wisdom, share and assist others in a advisory capacity.

If you are knowledgeable, teach those who don't know, share your knowledge or skill with others.

If you are a doctor or have access to medicines then treat the sick for free.

If you have excess clothes or can spare out of which you have, give to others and clothe the needy.

If you have spare houses, then provide shelter for the homeless or orphaned.

If it's vital information that can liberate or empower others you have access to, share with others.

If you are fortunate to be wealthy, your wealth is a test and responsibility, so spend it wisely.
Help those who lack what you have and those less privileged.

We all have something we can share or give to others, let's make the most of it while we can.

It's what you do with your resources you will be remembered for, they are a means to an end.
In the end you leave with nothing.

Spiritual Concordance

Image
  Spiritual Concordance Though people can pray in any language, when Muslims perform their daily obligatory prayer – the Salat, it is observed in the language the Quran was originally revealed. The wisdom behind this is for the attainment of concordance. For instance, it would be chaotic if different people with various languages and dialects gathered to worship – perform Salat. However, by adopting a uniform mode, people of various languages across the world, who may not have been able to communicate with one another, can worship together concertedly. Hypothetically, without understanding the respective languages of one another, an Australian, Bosnian, Cape Verdean, Danish, English, Fijian, Gambian, Honduran, Italian, Jamaican, Korean, Liberian, Malaysian, Norwegian, Omani, Pakistani, Qatari, Russian, Samoan, Tahitian, Ugandan, Vietnamese and Yemeni, can congregate for Salat (worship)in unison. Additionally, the spread of the Arabic language is a spiritual by-product. The Arabic ...

P.R.I.S.M: Primal Religious Instruction Serving Mankind (Book)

Image
I present to you my book P.R.I.S.M: Primal Religious Instruction Serving Mankind. The paperback version of the book is currently available on Amazon (see links below).  After the coronavirus manifested in 2020, I decided to reflect on life, as I have always done, but from a different perspective. The lockdown afforded the opportunity to be more productive and finally accomplish certain objectives I hadn't the time to execute before the coronavirus outbreak. During the past year, I have lost acquaintances, relatives and family. Those who are still alive, are not better than the dead. Death can befall anyone at anytime - it's no respecter of age, status or wealth. Certain events buttress the ephemerality of life.  Guaranteed, 100 years from now, everyone reading these words at this very moment, will be dead and gone! Therefore, bickering over if or when there's a judgement day, does not change the reality of death. Our primary concern should be when we die, because our death ...

June 12: Nigeria’s 25-Year Democratic Journey

  June 12: Nigeria’s 25-Year Democratic Journey Kudirat Abiola, M.B.O Owolowo Snr and Wole Soyinka  Nigeria is on the 25th lap — silver jubilee — of its democratic journey, since the handover by the military junta in 1999. There are crucial events preceding what is now celebrated as Nigeria’s Democracy Day on June 12 that must be acknowledged for posterity. Following the free and fair June 12, 1993 presidential elections, M.K.O. Abiola was effectively president-elect. Because of Abiola’s clout and renowned philanthropy, the June 12 elections garnered international attention. When Babangida annulled the election on June 23, 1993, without any justifiable cause or reasonable explanation, the heat from his political faux pas was so intense that he had to leave office on August 26, 1993. As Babangida decided to ‘ step aside ’, he bizarrely constituted an impuissant Interim National Government headed by Ernest Shonekan. Just 83 days into the interim government, a deposition occ...
