I'd promised to give a short elucidation on Islamic Finance, so here is it. I hope I am able to help impact knowledge in my little own way. I also wrote this bearing entrepreneurs, business owners and startup founders in mind. ISF can be used by any & all.

A surname is paperwork, not a leash. Subservience is when your voice, your money, and your choices belong to someone else. I have all three. Not knowing the difference is exactly the problem.

With all due respect, I agree with Malik. I have also noticed that most of the extremely religious people are big red flags and this is not even restricted to the Muslim alone. Extremely religious people are mostly extremists and they make life difficult for people around them. Once someone is extremely religious, you have to be very careful relating with them.
My sister everybody!😍 So proud of you my darling

If it's not you dissing & throwing unfounded shades like the coward that you are, it's always silly comments like this. You see the way I quoted you? Find the audacity to do the same thing next time.
For someone that's expected to be learned, you should try to act like one or even at the very least pretend.
I hope God cleanses you of this silliness, and equips you with the essence & beauty of tolerance. Love & light egbon.
I love this inquisition because it questions the foundation of this issue, and this conversation is something we should be having for the collective good.
So on this issue, there are two school of thoughts, classical Islam & contemporary Islam. Quran 4:34 got its context from the word "daraba" which then later became translated.
Arabic language is very nuance & is also beyond literal interpretations, it can be metaphorical. As such, a number of interpretations have been likened to daraba by contemporary scholars
Daraba can mean to set an example
It can mean to travel/strike out on a journey
It can mean to strike/hit something
It can also mean to strike a division/separate.
Daraba in a number of ways doesn't necessarily mean to strike or hit.
Advocates of the classical Islam would say daraba should be taken literally which means to hit, or to cause a non-injurious strike
However, contemporary Islam scholars argue that daraba doesn't necessarily have one literal meaning, hence, it's quite misogynistic to solely treat the meaning as hit or to strike, it can also mean separation, division or even to travel (meaning to leave that premises).
Also, there have been reports of the Prophet (PBUH) forbidding men from hitting their wives. In Aisha's report, she noted that the Prophet never beat anyone with hand, neither a woman or a servant, and the only time he was violent with anyone was at the battlefield
Also, when a follower asked the Prophet (PBUH) what rights wives had in their home, he said
"Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them.”
Beyond these schools of thought, my argument is that if the word can be inferred to have multiple meanings, then treating it solely as hitting or striking is questionable and perhaps, redundant.
If we cannot treat it to mean "separate or to travel", then maybe we shouldn't treat it to mean hit or strike.
Notably, the trajectory of the notations of the Prophet (PBUH) can infer feasible intentions. Women are full human beings deserving of dignity, safety, and respect. If a nonviolent interpretation is linguistically defensible and consistent with Islam's broader ethical principles, it deserves serious consideration.
And questioning an interpretation is not necessarily questioning Islam. Sometimes, it is an attempt to understand the faith more deeply and build a society in which no woman has to endure violence in the name of religion.
It is the same notation by contemporary scholars that led to Indonesia's Domestic Violence Law, and the Indonesian Muslim reformists argued beautifully on this interpretation & the broader ethical principles of Islam which I think many people need to start embracing.
I have a few questions regarding this doctrine, and I would appreciate sincere, well-reasoned responses.
1. What is the fundamental basis of this doctrine, and what arguments or principles support its existence?
2. If the doctrine permits a man to beat a woman, albeit mildly, is it realistic to expect someone who is sufficiently angry to resort to physical violence to exercise restraint and ensure that the beating remains “mild” or “slight”?
3. To what extent is this doctrine valid, both in its original context and in its applicability to contemporary society?
4. What was the underlying rationale for this doctrine when it was first propounded? What specific problem was it intended to address, and what principles informed its formulation?
5. Would it not have been more humane and ethically defensible to prohibit violence against women altogether, rather than establish conditions under which such violence may be considered permissible? Does defining the limits of permissible violence not risk legitimising an act that ought to be condemned outright?

What I’m saying is that if people who commit actual crimes are not even publicly held accountable for their actions, then death as punishment for consensual sexual conduct is grossly disproportionate. Holy site or not.
When women came forward during #MosqueMeToo to share their experiences of sexual harassment and assault in front of the Kaaba, what did the Saudi government do? Where was this same outrage and concern for the sanctity of the holy site?

Every month, there's about 2 of these - and I'm not exaggerating.
This begs the question:
How many unreported cases do we have in Nigeria?
Because you cannot tell me this isn't a pattern at this point.

When my brother in law, Tunde Ajayi, sexually assaulted me when I was 19, my male-centred HALF- sister ( dad side) said “ maybe I misunderstood because he’s Nigerian and I’m British” …
Knowing I came to the U.K. when I was 4.
Fuck her, fuck him and every Nigerian rapist/ abuser
Daniel Olowookere raped two girls under 12 in the UK and got just six years in prison. Now his lawyer is using his Nigerian cultural background as a mitigating factor. Why are Nigerian men not speaking up to say rape is NOT our culture? Why the silence? If it’s not our culture, why are you all so comfortable letting people use it to explain your behaviour?

Notice how she got rejected and still didn’t hit him, insult him, or try to kill him
Muslims aren't obligated to love Saudi Arabia simply because it is home to Islam's holiest sites. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left us the Quran & the Sunnah as our guides, not Saudi Arabia. Custodianship of Islam's holiest sites doesn't equate to ownership of Islam

Men who invite you to their place and allow you to relax without constantly trying to touch you are so attractive. You don’t have to spend the entire visit dodging advances or wondering what he’s expecting from you.

You cannot convince me that a man loves you deeply but never considers your financial needs.
