Usually these places were marked using chalk on a wall, indicating it as a place for solah. InsyaAllah.įrom time to time, you would see men by the roadside performing solah. He does hope, and so does the rest of the country that the problem which has displaced millions, orphaned the children and made women widows would end soon. He would be very angry talking about it (how about banging the mimbar) and showing a machine gun sign and the sound of shooting. A diversion from the main topic, even after the du'a just before performing the solah.he could be talking another 15 minutes about the hottest topic which I am disincline to talk about. His sermon would be long as he would jump from one topic to another. A mabrur Hajj should be the aspiration of all pilgrims. It is not easy to be chosen to perform Hajj, so do your utmost.

Be among good pilgrims of Nigeria and limit idle chit chat. Urging the pilgrims to spend time to pray and performing other Ibadah rather than listening to BBC News (yup, he said that) and the latest football score of your favourite team. The topic of focus during Hajj were also brought up by him. Imam Sulaiman was very specific about this, and urged the congregation to do so. Most important thing he said is to have a will made with specific instruction on its execution if the person does not come back from Hajj (due to his or her death). Money for food, to pay bills while away and even the school fees for their children must not be overlooked. To all school going parents, he reminded to make sure all provision are taken care off. Of course, it has to be a good niat, in any case. He urged Muslims in similar situation to make niat/niyyah (intention) to go for Hajj as the niat itself is more important than the actual action. He gave an example, a son who is taking after his elderly parents would not be able to go for hajj, as his obligation towards his parents outweigh everything.even the Hajj. The preparation even before you can go for Hajj. The types of hajj one can perform, but most importantly the preparation before performing the hajj by the pilgrims. The topic is of public interest and mostly the current ones. Fifteen minutes to half an hour passed before he would address us in English.


With him, only a piece of paper to guide him through the points. A 48y.o man from Kano would began adressing the congregation in fluently in Arabic.
