BMT Ebira
Under the umbrella of Sunnah,
1. Don’t beat your wives, to a point the neighbors are aware, and even come to settle you on some occasions.
2. Your wives shouldn’t be hawking in the market or around 'adugbo' and some with their babbies on their backs, while you are only God knows where. Things are difficult, do your best still.
3. Don’t draw swords in matters of liberal jurisprudence, lest you confuse many who will make references to those moments against you.
4. Beware of passing verdicts incessantly and indiscriminately, and know when a subject matter is beyond you, then refer to great scholars.
5. Be conscious of your dress sense. You must not have all thousands to look okay. Someone may wear a fabric of 500, but his sense of fashion makes it look like he is doing greatly well. Sunnah is neatness, not otherwise. Brush your teeth and iron your cloths. Some jalabiya have become shirts because they were not ironed. Be color selective. White jalabiya on a yellow or green trouser, then a blue shoe is a No.
6. Don’t marry more than a wife, whereas you ain’t qualified to have half. You know yourself and the bite you can chew.
7. Keep clean. Some people, you can't enter their homes without holding your breath. You can neither eat nor drink there. If you force it, you will vomit🤮.
8. Don’t put your kids in schools where the Deen is not taught or prioritized. Your children’s teacher has great influence on them. If I were in heresy, I knew what I would have done to all the students that crossed my path in all the secondary schools I had taught. I can only be likened to Anelka and Belamy when one thinks of the number of schools I had taught in my life.
9. Don’t be a sycophant, too lazy to get even a menial job. You are dependent on the leaders and patronize their thresholds and offices.
10. When you learn and acquire certain knowledge or a concept, learn when, where, how to apply them and to/on whom.
Allahumma bārik
