On the Unfortunate Incident(s) Concerning the Shia in Zaria


Someone asked me on what is the Shariah ruling on those who abused the Holy prophet (SAW). It was like a justification of the killing of the Shia followers. SMH

Well what I want to say is that whatever is the case, it is certainly not a firing squad by the army. Islam is organized and does not promote jungle justice and chaos.
The sanctity of 'life' is very key as a 'maqasid' of shariah and it is why 'witnesses' are key in sentencings. All this is proof that there is procedure, there is restraint especially by the person who wields authority and power.

There seems to be a 'latent' hatred for Shias amongst other Muslims and it is a very dangerous hatred that is akin to that which BH & ISIS have for any individuals who do not share their worldview.
Also, there is a subtle blackmail, that sees every word that seems to support a Shia 'right' as 'proof' of one being a Shia. Thus many people are silenced in order not to be 'branded' as such. (I will not be surprised if this will not earn me my own!) Yet justice demands that one says what is the truth no matter how distasteful it is.

These recent happenings as well as numerous others in the Northern part of Nigeria are worrisome signals of flashpoints and deeply-rooted seeds of genocide that will in a blink go off like atomic bombs if we do not sit down to address them.

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
