Hello readers, the news of a young man that was kidnapped and killed by fulani herdsmen just got to me. He was farming when he was kidnapped. It is really unfortunate that the government has done nothing tangible to stop this killing. Is it a crime to own a farm? I read about a woman whose hand was cut-off because she was farming. Some claim that the land does not really belong to the farmers, I doubt that.
"Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills a person—unless it is for murder or corruption on earth—it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind. Our messengers came to them with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to commit excesses in the land." Quran 5:32
"Say, “Come, let me tell you what your Lord has forbidden you: that you associate nothing with Him; that you honor your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty—We provide for you and for them; that you do not come near indecencies, whether outward or inward; and that you do not kill the soul which God has sanctified—except in the course of justice. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may understand.” Quran 6:151
The president has not intervened. Is it because he is a fulani man that is why he has not done anything to stop the killing of the farmers who are just trying to make a living. It is just wickedness, how can a farmer do the hardwork to grow their plants so they make some money then the so called herdsmen will just go there with their herds to eat the plants and destroy their farms. It is just wickedness. Some of this herdsmen will call themselves muslims. They are not because Allah has forbidden killing unjustly. Islam means total submission to the will of Allah.
People in the government should do something to stop this killing. It is your responsibility. I was even informed that the herds do not belong to the herdsmen but to some rich people who give the herdsmen guns. If you die before repenting (thus becoming a muslim by submitting to the will of Allah), hell will be your destination, an evil destination. That is exactly what you will deserve if you die without repenting.
Even now, I know you would not have a good state of mind, because Allah has said whoever does remember Him will live a depressed life. "But whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is a depressed life. And We will raise him on the Day of Resurrection blind."Quran 2:124
"He will say, “My Lord, why did You raise me blind, though I was seeing?” He will say, “Just as Our revelations came to you, and you forgot them, today you will be forgotten.Thus We recompense him who transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of his Lord. The punishment of the Hereafter is more severe, and more lasting. Is it not instructive to them, how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose settlements they walk? Surely in that are signs for people of understanding." Quran 20:125 - 128
Make sure business is halal. Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).
Halal means anything lawful Islamically
