In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and we seek for His assistance, forgiveness and guidance. We seek refuge with Him from the evils of our own souls and from our misdeeds. No one can mislead whomever Allah guides and no one can guide whomever Allah causes to go astray.

 

I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. He is One and He has no partner. I also testify that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Allah sent him with the religion of guidance and truth so that it may prevail over all other religions even if the disbelievers dislike that.

 

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

 

“Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down healing for it.” [Al-Bukhari]

 

It was narrated from Usamah Ibn Sharik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

 

“Seek medical treatment, for Allah has not created any disease but He has also created a cure for it, except one disease: old age.” [Ahmad and four others; classed as Sahih by At-Tirmidhi]

 

It was narrated from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

 

“For every disease there is a remedy, so if you find the right remedy for the disease, you will be healed by the leave of Allah.” [Muslim]

 

It was narrated that Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

 

“Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down its cure. Those who know it know it and those who do not know it do not know it.” [Ahmad]

Recite the following Qur’anic Surahs to the person:

 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

الْقَارِعَةُ، مَا الْقَارِعَةُ، وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ، يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ، وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوشِ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ، فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ، فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ، وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ، نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ.

 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ، الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ، يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ، كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ، وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ، نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ، الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ، إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ، فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَة.

 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ، حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ، كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ، ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ، كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ، لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ، ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ، ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ.

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 

وَٱلۡعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبۡحٗا، فَٱلۡمُورِيَٰتِ قَدۡحٗا، فَٱلۡمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبۡحٗا، فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعٗا، فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهِۦ جَمۡعًا، إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِ, لَكَنُودٞ, وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٞ, وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ لَشَدِيدٌ, ۞ أَفَلَا يَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ, وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ, إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّخَبِيرُۢ.

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا، وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا، وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا، يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا، بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا، يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتٗا لِّيُرَوۡاْ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ، فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرٗا يَرَهُۥ، وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ شَرّٗا يَرَهُۥ.

 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنْفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ، رَسُولٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفًا مُطَهَّرَةً، فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ، وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ، وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ، جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۖ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ.

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحابِ الْفِيلِ، أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ، وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْراً أَبابِيلَ، تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ، فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ.

Powerful Dua’s (Supplications) for Protection Against Any Harm And Evil

 

Do you ever remember a time when you felt helpless and scared for the health of yourself or your family? Have you ever felt hopeless and at a loss when it came to protecting yourself from enemies and disease?

 

We have all been in situations where we have wanted to call upon Allah to protect us and our loved ones. As Muslims, we believe that no harm can come to us unless Allah wills it, and with that belief, we raise our hands in supplication (Du’a) every time hardship falls upon us.

 

The following excerpt from a Hadith beautifully lays out how higher powers are only with Allah. If we have faith in Him, then we should also have faith no harm will come to us. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

 

“… And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you…” [Hadith]

 

It is very important to remember that saying a Du’a in itself is showing our love to Allah and brings us closer to His mercy.

 

Below are some Du’a’s we can recite whenever we feel the need to call upon Allah to protect us against enemies and diseases:

 

“اَللّٰهُمَّ إنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِيْ نُحُوْرِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ.”

 

We often are faced with some people in our lives who wish to bring us down or wish to bring harm upon our family members or us. Often this is something that causes us much anxiety and tension.

 

This Du’a for protection from enemies is perfect for removing yourself from that state of anxiety. It was recited by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when he feared a group of people and can be used to protect yourself by reciting it three times a day as a general habit.

 

“لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.”

 

When we find ourselves in a state of despair, we can take solace from Allah and recite this Du’a. This Du’a was recited by Prophet Yunus (AS) when he was in the belly of the whale and was repenting for not following Allah’s orders.

 

We often find ourselves in situations where we face adversity from our enemies. Take inspiration from Prophet Yunus (AS) when he was submerged under three layers of darkness and had no one to turn to except for Allah. It is only Allah who decides our fate and can save us from our enemies.

 

“بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ.”

 

This Du’a is for those situations when you have a general fear but are unsure what its source is. This could include protection from disease and enemies. We often hear that people get a sixth sense of coming danger but cannot specify what it is that they fear.

 

This Du’a will help to relieve their anxiety and the general feeling of foreboding calamity. Recite this three times every morning and evening to seek protection from Allah.

 

“اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ البَرَصِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الْأَسْقَامِ.”

 

Recite this Du’a when you or your loved one is exposed to disease or unwell. It is a powerful Du’a that indicates that during the Prophet’s (Peace be upon him) time those afflicted with Leprosy and disease would recite this Du’a to harness the healing powers of the Almighty Allah. This Du’a is used as a protection tool against mental health disorders and other malignant diseases as well.

 

“اللَّهُمَّ ربَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِب الْبَأسَ، واشْفِ، أَنْتَ الشَّافي لا شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفاءً لا يُغَادِرُ سقَماً.”

 

It is reported that this Du’a was recited by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) whenever he would visit a sick relative. He would take his right hand and brush it over the ill person while reciting this Du’a.

 

This is a masnun Du’a for protection from diseases. It is best for those who are sick and want to take advantage of Allah’s healing powers. The power of recitation during disease is great and important for the family of the afflicted to recite as well as the ill person themselves.

 

This is an all-encompassing short Du’a that can be easily passed around to family members when holding prayer sessions for ill loved ones.

 

“بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ.”

 

Often when we leave the house, we like to recite something that will protect us from any dangers that may lie outside the vicinity of our comfort zone.

 

This Du’a is very useful to recite when we want to turn to Allah to protect us against unknown enemies and dangers outside our home. This Du’a has been referenced in three different Hadith books and is commonly recited by Muslims.

 

“اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ.”

 

It is important to include this Du’a in our list as it covers a different form of the enemy that we should always be asking Allah to protect us from. This enemy we may encounter in ourselves and our state of mind.

 

This Du’a will help us become strong to overcome financial problems and other issues which could be a result of our own mental weaknesses. We need to take control of our own mental being in order to overcome this enemy.

 

No list of Du’a’s for protection from enemies and evil eye can be complete without mentioning Surah Ikhlas, Surah Nas, and Surah Falaq.

 

The three Surahs should be read three times, in the morning, before we go to sleep and after prayer. The power of these three Surahs cannot be underestimated. Their protective power has been mentioned by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in the following Hadith:

 

“…a man heard another man reciting Qul Huwallahu Ahad and repeating it. The next morning, he came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and told him about that. The man thought that it was too little, but the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’an.” [Al-Bukhari]

 

While the entire Qur’an is a source of healing, but there are six Qur’anic verses that address healing and are referred to as ‘Ayat Ash-Shifa’ or ‘the Quranic Verses of Healing.’ They are as follows:

 

“And [Allah] shall heal the breast of the believers.” [Qur’an, 9:14]

 

“وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ.”

 

“Mankind there has come to you a guidance from your Lord and a healing for (the diseases) in your hearts, and for those who believe a guidance and a mercy.” [Qur’an, 10:57]

 

“يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُمْ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ.”

 

“There issues from within the bodies of the bee a drink of varying colors wherein is healing for mankind.” [Qur’an, 16:69]

 

“يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ.”

 

“And We sent down in the Qur’an such things that have healing and mercy for the believers.” [Qur’an, 17:82]

 

‘وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا.”

 

And when I am ill, it is [Allah] who cures me.” [Qur’an, 26:80]

 

(From the supplication of Prophet Ibrahim).

 

“وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ.”

 

“And declare (O Muhammad) that [the Qur’an] is a guidance and healing for the believers.” [Qur’an, 41:44]

 

“قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ.”

 

Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa bara ka tuh

 

All perfect praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our noble Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and upon his family, his Companions and his true followers.

Farm Centre Under Siege: Kano Must Reject Political Violence Before 2027

Published

on

Comrade Abbas Ibrahim

 

By all standards, the recent violent invasion of Kano’s bustling GSM Farm Centre Market by suspected political thugs is a dangerous development that must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. What transpired on Monday, April 27, 2026, was not merely an attack on traders and innocent citizens; it was an assault on public peace, economic prosperity, and the very foundations of democratic engagement.

 

Farm Centre is not just another market. It is one of the largest mobile phone and information technology hubs in Northern Nigeria, attracting traders, investors, and customers from across the country and neighbouring nations. Its vibrancy has made it a critical contributor to Kano’s economy and a symbol of the state’s commercial strength. Any attack on such a strategic economic centre is, by extension, an attack on Kano itself.

 

The scenes were deeply disturbing. Shops were looted, while vehicles and motorcycles were vandalised, and many innocent people sustained injuries. Traders—many of whom are still struggling to recover from previous devastating fire outbreaks—have once again been thrown into uncertainty, pain, and financial hardship.

 

Even more troubling is the fact that the Kano Passport Office is located within the vicinity. Such brazen violence near a sensitive federal facility raises serious security concerns and presents an unfortunate image of Kano to both local and international visitors.

 

Although the politician allegedly linked to the incident has denied involvement, the episode underscores a much larger and more troubling reality: the growing recklessness of political actors and their inability or unwillingness to restrain their supporters.

 

As the 2027 general elections approach, Kano cannot afford a return to the dark days when political contests were settled through violence, intimidation, and destruction. Democracy thrives on ideas, persuasion, and the ballot—not on thuggery, fear, and bloodshed.

 

Political leaders must understand that they bear both moral and legal responsibility for the actions of their followers. Silence in the face of violence is complicity, while ambiguity only emboldens criminal elements who exploit political rivalries for personal gain.

 

While the swift intervention of the police—including the deployment of teargas and the arrest of six suspects—helped restore order, the incident has once again exposed glaring limitations in the security architecture around Farm Centre. The police division is evidently overstretched and unable to respond effectively to large-scale disturbances in such a densely populated commercial area.

 

This is why the Kano State Government must immediately strengthen the operational capacity of the Kano State Vigilante Group and, more importantly, fully leverage the Kano Neighbourhood Safety Corps.

 

Established with an initial strength of 2,000 personnel drawn from all 44 local government areas, the Corps was specifically designed to complement conventional security agencies. The law establishing it wisely insulates it from partisan politics, ensuring professionalism, neutrality, and community trust. Under the capable leadership of retired Lieutenant Colonel Aminu Abdulmalik, the Corps possesses the discipline, structure, and local intelligence needed to provide rapid response and preventive security.

 

The time has come for its strategic deployment to critical economic hubs such as Farm Centre.

 

Recommendations for Immediate Action

 

First, all political parties and aspirants must publicly commit to peaceful conduct and take responsibility for the actions of their supporters.

 

Second, law enforcement agencies must thoroughly investigate the incident and prosecute all those found culpable, regardless of political affiliation.

 

Third, security presence at Farm Centre should be significantly enhanced through a joint task force comprising the Police, Civil Defence, and the Kano Neighbourhood Safety Corps.

 

Fourth, the Kano State Government should establish a permanent rapid-response security unit dedicated to protecting major commercial centres.

 

Fifth, political leaders must invest in civic education, teaching their supporters that elections are contests of ideas, not battles for survival.

 

Finally, traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations, and the media must intensify advocacy against political violence and promote a culture of tolerance.

 

A Test for Kano

 

Kano stands at a critical crossroads. The state can either allow desperate politicians and criminal elements to drag it backwards or rise above violence and preserve its proud reputation as the commercial heartbeat of Northern Nigeria.

 

The attack on Farm Centre must serve as a wake-up call. Political ambition must never be allowed to supersede public safety. The livelihoods of hardworking citizens must never become collateral damage in the pursuit of power.

 

Kano deserves better. Its traders deserve protection. Its democracy deserves maturity.

 

The journey to 2027 must begin with a firm and collective rejection of political violence in all its forms. Anything less would be a betrayal of the people.

Who will fill the late Ibrahim Galadima’s shoes?

Published

Last week, while writing a tribute to the late Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima, one question kept haunting me: who will fill his shoes?

 

Kano, with its long tradition of producing great men across every sector—from business and politics to academia and sports—has never failed to replace its icons.

 

In sports administration, Kano’s roots run deep. At independence, the Premier of the Northern Region, Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, appointed the late Alhaji Muhammadu Danwawu of Kano as the Northern Region’s sports administrator. Decades later, in 1991, the state produced the Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association, Alhaji Yusuf Garba Ali.

 

That tradition was sustained by the immense contributions of stalwarts like the late Alhaji Isiyaku Muhammed, the late Alhaji Usman Nagado, and the late Alhaji Abdullahi Abba Yola—men who served the game with distinction and left footprints in administration, mentorship, and institutional growth. Alongside them were other excellent administrators such as Alhaji Tukur Babangida, Alhaji Ibrahim Abba, Dr. Sharif Rabiu Inuwa Ahlan, Bashir Ahmad Maizare, among others.

 

Now, with the passing of Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima, a pressing question emerges: *who will fill his shoes?*

 

Galadima was not just an administrator; he was an institution. As a former NFA Chairman, he brought credibility, order, and dignity to Nigerian football during turbulent times. His shoes are large—not merely because of the offices he held, but because of the integrity, courage, and vision with which he led.

 

Yet, if history is any guide, Kano’s well of leadership has never run dry. From Alhaji Danwawu at independence, to the era of Isiyaku Muhammed and Usman Nagado, through Yusuf Ali in 1991, and down to Galadima in the 2000s, the state has consistently raised men of character to step into moments of transition. The challenge before us is not whether Kano can produce another Galadima, but whether we can create the environment that allows such leaders to emerge and thrive.

 

The vacuum is real. The legacy is intact. The question remains: who among the next generation will rise to it?

A Baby in 1956, A Granny in 2026; An Idol in 2096: Abdalla Uba Adamu’s Yesterday is Tomorrow

Published

on

Prof. Aliyu Barau

 

Professor Abdalla was barely 11 years old when the 1967 science fiction film, Tomorrow is Yesterday, written by D.C. Fontana, was released. The film explores the possibility of traveling back and forth in time. I chose this caption with the understanding that science has shaped Abdalla’s trajectory in academia. Even as a child, he vigorously pursued science. He would ride his bicycle to the commercial side of Kano to buy books from the Kano-based missionary bookstore—the Challenge Bookshop—whose worn-out structure I once knew along Niger Street.

What exactly happened in 1956, and what connections does he have with that year? This is interesting because some events of 1956 may have shaped Abdalla into who he is today. For instance, anyone close to him knows of his fascination with the Kingdom of Morocco, which gained independence in 1956, just as Sudan did. I am not certain whether the Professor has any strong connection with Sudan; however, I would not be surprised, given his work in neo-Ajamisation scholarship. If you know his passion for popular culture, then you should also know that 1956 marked the rise of Elvis Presley. He made his debut on The Ed Sullivan Show and topped music charts, fueling the rock-and-roll era. If you wonder why Abdalla has ventured deeply into the worlds of media and communication, consider that the world’s first transatlantic telephone cable was commissioned in 1956. And if you admire the way Professor Abdalla writes and speaks English with a Midlands sharpness, you should recall that Queen Elizabeth II visited Kano in 1956. These moments symbolically map his journey through time since his birth in 1956.

Professor Abdalla is already something of a scholarly “grand old figure,” as even the students of his students became professors a few years ago. I often find it difficult to call him merely a professor; he is more of a mallam in the true sense of the word in Hausaland, and even more a mwalimu in the truest sense of Swahililand.

Like him or hate him, Abdalla Uba Adamu remains one of the most genuinely apolitical intellectual vanguards Kano has ever produced. Whether you acknowledge it or not, no position has ever—and will ever—distract him from true scholarship. Agree or disagree, nothing can rob him of his golden joviality. You may tower over him physically, but he will dwarf you intellectually. What is striking about Abdalla’s scholarship is its velocity—like a supersonic missile traveling at Mach 15 (a hypersonic speed roughly equivalent to 18,500 km/h, or 11,500 mph). I have yet to see any of his students come close to matching his intellectual range, even as age and retirement approach him. Allah ya kara lafiya. Truly, in Abdalla, we have a rare scholar.

Personally, I say with confidence that I share a genuine and natural relationship with Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu. With all humility, I can say that this rare scholar holds me in high regard. Whenever I call him and he misses the call, he always returns it, and I leave the conversation uplifted by his humour. Za mu sha hira. I know the people in his good and bad books. Throughout Bayero University Kano, I doubt there is anyone who has taken as deep an interest in my academic progress as Abdalla. I can proudly say I am among the few he trusted to co-author a journal article, even though we come from different disciplines but share common interests. He constantly tracks my progress, often calling to congratulate me: “I have seen your paper on ResearchGate or Google Scholar. I am happy. Please keep working.” Many people do not know how humble and philanthropic Professor Abdalla is, but Allah knows. May Allah reward his hidden deeds and guide him to Jannah. One example is his remarkable act of building a house for a homeless blind man.

In 2006, Professor Abdalla served as the team lead for Celebrating Arts in Northern Nigeria, a project by the British Council and the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts, London. The project culminated in a visit by His Majesty King Charles III, then the HRH Prince of Wales. Abdalla ensured that Nasiru Wada Khalil and I participated fully in the activities, giving us the opportunity to benefit. He stepped aside to create space for us. When the Prince arrived and engaged with us at the British Council, I seized the opportunity to present him with a copy of my book, Environment and Sustainable Development in the Qur’an (with the approval of the British High Commission). I still remember Abdalla telling me, “Kayi daidai; nima da ina da shi, wallahi da na ba shi.” Just imagine—such humility.

At his retirement, social media was filled with tributes celebrating this rare scholar. I am optimistic that by 2096, long after both Abdalla and I are gone, the Hausa world will be idolising and drawing inspiration from his erudition and service to humanity. Even in death, his scholarship will continue to shape the future. One final lesson I have learned from him is that one should be in the university not for money or political positioning. This is a principle he firmly believes in—and one I also uphold.

Abdalla na Allah. Allah ya sa mu cika da imani. Abdalla conquers yesterday and tomorrow.
