When people talk about being raised by mothers, most of the people in society view men as irresponsible and uncaring in this context. They don’t ask from these men to hear their stories.

Some of these women were left because they were uncontrollable, vulgar , cheats and all sorts of bad things. That’s why they choose to feed their children with all sorts of negative energy to men figures in society or rather their absent fathers.

I don’t rule out that we also have rogue, irresponsible men, who walk out of women after impregnating them , in a bid to avoid the responsibility and stay young to keep doing their womanizer stunt, and others who are abusive and unfaithful leading to marriage and relationship break ups, these ones should also be shamed and talked about.

Mind you, we also have men who have taken care of their children from a young age to the time they become adults in a single parent family. This men stood out and Sacrificed themselves to ensure their children never lacked anything and they played the roles of a father and mother.

Don’t just victimize a whole Sex, for a single act of relationship gone sour, don’t be mean to poison your children about the partner you had a relationship with that led to them being born. Because you’d only brainwash that child and feed him or her hatred putting him away from your fellow parent for the rest of his life. We acknowledge the single Parent families headed by either men or women for some reason or the other .

Nobody wants to be found stuck in an abusive relationship that’s not working out, we all want peace in our lives. But be true to yourself, don’t demonize your fellow parent because you want to win the heart of your children, let the misunderstanding be for you adults, and of course find a balance for your hurt and hatred to put your children first. In this way, we will reduce the number Of broken marriages and Relationships in future.

Teach your children the importance of forgiving, loving, and making marriage relationship work in future but of course avoiding being hurt in the name of loving an individual.

Researchers in Madina find successful COVID-19 treatment – The City of the Prophet

As we all know that the city of Madina in Saudi Arabia is close to the hearts of every Muslim because the noble Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH) is resting in that city along with thousands of his companions and family members, even two of his very close companions Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) and Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA) are also resting with the noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the same chamber at Masjid Al Nabawi in Madina.

NEWS: Medical Researchers team in Madina of Taibah University, Madina Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia find a successful treatment of COVID-19 as the team of these researchers treated patients of COVID-19 and their contacts with a regimen that have black seeds (Nigella Sativa), which according to a hadith of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has a cure of all diseases except death.

Prophet Muhammad Told The Medicine to Cure Coronavirus 1400 Years Ago, Now Approved by US – FDA

The hadith is of Sahih Grade (authentic):

The prophet (PBUH) said: “Use the Black seed for Indeed, It is a cure for all diseases, except death”

• From (Sahih al- Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Huraira: ” The Prophet said – there is no disease that Allah has created, except that he has also created its treatment (cure).

From- Volume 7 Book 71, Number 582 Sahih al- Bukhari

The researcher’s team paper regarding the use of Black seed and Chamomile has been published in the American Journal of Public health and research and made public for everyone to look it own their own.

Let us more focus on what our noble Prophet said about the use of Black seed as medicine:

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “This black seed is healing for all diseases but poison.” She said, “What is poison?” The Prophet said, “Death.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5363

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Bukhari RECOMMENDED DOSAGE OF BLACK SEED & CHAMOMILE

One dose of TaibUVID* consist of:

• 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of black seeds
• 1 teaspoon (1 gram) of {ground} chamomile
• 1 teaspoon of natural bee honey

Mix well, chew well & swallow it, to give your mouth a refreshing taste drink some lemon drink or orange juice after drinking or consuming the above-mentioned medicine (ORANGES & lemons contains antioxidants and Vitamin C) gives you a different taste and will boost your immunity too.

*TaibUVID stands for Taibah University anti-COVID-19 treatment.

Prevention:
Take one dose [of the above] daily, until this epidemic ends.

Treatment:
Take five doses daily, for an entire week.
Then take one dose daily until the epidemic ends.
If there is severe cough or difficulty in breathing, you can inhale the vapors from black seed oil, or clove oil, or what remains of the solution after boiling [and sifting] black seeds and chamomile.
Simply place any of the above in a nebulizer, and inhale [the vapor].

If you do not have a nebulizer, then you can put one tablespoon of black seeds, one tablespoon of chamomile, and one cup of water in a pot, and cover it partially.
Then, let it heat on low heat and inhale [the vapors]. Do this 5-6 times a day.
According to the paper published by the Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Taibah University, Madinah, Saudi Arabia:

“We studied the effect of natural plants which are well known and which scientific research has shown [to be effective in this], such as black seeds (Nigella Sativa), chamomile (anthemia hyaline), and cloves, in order to treat the Coronavirus [Covid-19].
[…] both black seeds and chamomile can completely stop the growth of the Coronavirus.”

Dr. Salah Mohammed El Sayed head of a team of ten researchers said:

“By Allah’s favor, all of the Corona [Covid19] patients who used this treatment, TaibUVID, have improved, and they prepared it in their own homes. It did not take a patient for more than one week to improve.”

“We have published the therapeutic protocol in a medical journal so that everyone can access it. Perhaps we can save the life of someone dear, and how many they are! Allah knows the intentions. By Allah’s grace, all cases have recovered. May Allah protect everyone. O Allah, I have relayed [this information]. O Allah, bear witness,” he said.

Black seeds (Nigella Sativa) and chamomile (anthemis hyalina) were confirmed to inhibit coronavirus replication maximally. In addition, black seeds enhance immunity, exert tissue-protective effects, and effectively treat co-morbidities.

Pure honey taken orally exerts potent antiviral effects, enhances immunity, and exerts tissue-protective effects.

According to the researchers: “Our suggested TaibUVID and TaibUVID Plus are promising evidence-based approaches to save lives and decrease the death rates.”

Medicine approved by America – FDA as a preventive medicine which is ” hydroxychloroquine” is a derivative of thymoquinone (TQ), which is the component of the Black Seed ( Nigella Sativa/ Kalonji seed) and guess what?

It was told us 1400 years ago (in a hadith) that this black seed is a cure to all illnesses except death. Like every other scientific prediction, that has never been wrong of our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) this one is also not going to be one because already Food & Drug Administration in the United States and ICMR in India has approved this medicine to be given to those who are at high risk of COVID-19.

Licorice root as a powder or pills will cure ulcer Insha’ Allah. Many people will take spoon full of its powder and mix it with 8-10 oz water.
Any form of the licorice will help. They even sell it in form of pills at the Vitamin Shoppe in the US. https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/nature-way-licorice-root-450-mg-100-capsules/nw-1158

The Novel Corona Virus or better known as COVID19 had stopped being a heresay and the first case was with us in Tanzania on 17th March 2019, the Minister For Health called for immediate closer of Primary and Secondary schools, pending universities that were also closed down by a directive from the country’s prime Minister Majaliwa Kassim Majaliwa.

We closed Schools with immediate effect and mass education regarding how to stay safe from the virus like washing hands with soaps regularly, using sanitizers, maintaining social distance, putting on masks and as simple as staying home were broadcasted on Different Radio stations and Television stations.

The tension was so high in the country, many countries all over the world Including Italy, U.k and Germany were already struggling with the rising nos. In infections. People to a tune of 2,000 died in a single day, the health system in developed countries were overwhelmed by the no. Of infected patients. It was all chaos and people were losing hope. Most of the countries imposed total lockdowns, cessation of movement and curfews. When Tanzania had recorded almost 502 cases, directives were given by the president to stop announcing the cases everyday as it had adverse effects on the citizenry.

In what I believe upto now, to have been a step into uncharted territory and still give credit to but with a benefit of doubt that there will be no infections anytime soon; the president of the Republic Of Tanzania Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli took a leap of faith . He ruled out curfews, lockdown and cessation of movement, terming the measures a hindrance to the already ailing community, considering that 60 millions people in lockdown would die of hunger instead.

He advocated that Tanzanians go about their daily lives and to till their land and cultivate food crops for a time when countries affected by lockdown would be lacking and thus come in large nos. buying food from Tanzanians. I must admit the whole world and myself felt the approach being taken was more or less exposing the citizen to contracting the virus. Houses of worship were left open and the president urged people to fast and pray to God and ask for Him to intervene in the pandemic. Seeing on Television, watching videos and reading from the internet how the Covid19 had brought tough regulations on uses of masks and even punishing citizens for not doning masks , I couldn’t help it, but enjoy the vast freedom put in place by the president in Tanzania.

Wearing of masks was essential but not imposed on people forcefully, with the remarks of the president from time to time that the virus would just come to an end, the more citizens became relentless and had faith that the virus would end. The president and other politicians called citizens to use traditional methods for treating Respiratory related diseases. To everybody’s surprise, by the last week of May , president Magufuli had announced reopening of Universities and Form Six and also allowed sports and games in the country to kick off by first June.

To everybody’s surprise Universities and Form Six opened with people taking precautions through washing hands with soap, keeping social distance, sanitizing and disinfecting the school premises.

On second June the Minister For Health Ummi Mwalimu let the citizens know that all patients infected with the Corona Virus had fully recovered and discharged , only four patients were remaining in Dar-Es-Salaam and they were in good condition. The battle against Corona had been won, and different National leaders led by the president asked citizens to thank God, citing that, when we are vested with problems, instead of locking houses of worship we should run for refuge and Solace from God by worshipping in all our religions.

On 5th of Friday 2020, the president ,at a meeting convened by teachers, President John Pombe Joseph Magufuli echoed the win against Corona virus, and said the victory was all to God’s grace. 2020 is probably the best time to have been in Tanzania, while everyone is going south, Tanzania’s president decided to take a path no President did, as we await the major win and are paranoid of an aftermath of a rise in new infections, I have learnt it’s important to have a voice, speak out and have a leap of faith.

Humanity awaits to see what the unshakable president has to bring on the table when this war is won or goes otherwise. Let’s all wait and see, I pray for all countries to get over past the Covid 19 infections and that all those who lost their loved ones find comfort. Meanwhile, Tanzania keeps soaring on , and has won the war against Covid19 as president John Pombe Joseph Magufuli puts it.

How To Raise And Discipline Boys

By Ibn al-Jawzi Rahimahullah
(d. 597H)

THE best of discipline is that which is done at a young age. If a child is left to his own characteristics and he or she matures into an adult possessing those characteristics, changing the person would be difficult.

A poet said:

“If you straighten the branches they will straighten up,

But wood does not soften if you amend it.

Discipline benefits children gradually,

But it will not benefit those who have aged.”

Being perseverant in discipline is important, particularly with regard to children, as it benefits them and doing good becomes a habit.

A poet said:

“Do not neglect disciplining a child,

Even if he complains of the pain of exhaustion.”

Know that a doctor considers the age of the patient, as well as his place and time before prescribing the medicine best suited for him.

Likewise, discipline should be suited to each child, and signs of the success or failure of a child can be noticed from a very early age.

A man once told Sufyan al-Thawri, “We hit our children if they do not pray.” Sufyan told him, “Rather, you should encourage them and tell them about the reward.”

Zubayd al-Yafi used to tell young boys, “Whoever prays will have five walnuts.”

Ibrahim ibn Adham said, “O son! Seek knowledge of hadith. I will give you one dirham for every hadith that you hear.” On account of this, the boy started to seek the knowledge of hadith.

Taking Care Of The Trust

A Father (and mother) should know that his child is a trust placed in his hands. He should make sure the child avoids bad company from a young age. He should teach him to do good, for a child’s heart is empty and accepts anything that is given to it.

The father (and mother) should also instil the love of hayaa (modesty / shyness) and generosity. He should tell him stories of the righteous, and keep him away from ‘love poetry’ because it is a seed of corruption.

However, he should not prevent poems about generosity or courage, so the child can exalt these characteristics and becomes courageous.

If the child makes a mistake, the father should overlook. His teacher should expose his secrets and mistakes, but his father should only reprimand the child in private.

His father (and mother) should prohibit excessive eating and excessive sleeping. Instead make the child accustomed to simple food and minimal sleep, for it is healthier. He should be treated with physical exercises such as walking and disciplined in proper manners by being prohibited from turning his back to people and from sneezing and yawning in their presence.

If he chooses to exhibit an ill characteristic, he should be deterred from it excessively before it becomes a habit. It is fine to discipline him if leniency is of no use.

Luqman told his son, “O son! Discipling the son acts as a fertiliser for sowing seeds.”

If the boy is aggressive, his father (and mother) should be lenient with him.

Ibn ‘Abbas said, “The aggressiveness of a boy is an increase in his intelligence.”

The Future Of Your Child

Wise people used to say:

“Your son is like your flower the first seven years, and your servant the second seven years. By the time he reaches fourteen, if you have been good to him, then he will be your partner, and if you have bad to him then he will be your enemy.”

A child should not be beaten or offended after he reaches puberty, because he will hope to lose his father in order that he may have his own way.

Whoever reaches twenty years of age and has not become righteous, then his godliness is remote; however, leniency should be practiced with everyone.

– Excerpt from the book ‘Disciplining the Soul by Imam Ibn Jawzi. Published and Copyright by Dar as-Sunnah Publishers, Birmingham, UK.

Ni mwezi wa pili tangu ulipoondoka ulimwenguni Sam. Wanasema walio kuzimu wako kuzimu , na katu hawawezi kurudi, sina pingamizi juu ya hilo. Japo kifo kinatokea kila muda, lakini hakijapata kuzoeleka. Ningalitamani nikusahau, lakini haraka mno sijapatapo wepesi.

Naona aula zaidi ni kuandika tungo hii, itanikumbusha uwepo wako siku zote. Ndivyo kifo kilivyo, kinapomchukua mtu, Kisha baada ya muda watu huwasahau waliofariki, ikawa kama hawakupatapo kuishi humu duniani. Kweli itabaki kwamba ni watu tulioishi nao, na tukawa na nyakati nyingi za kujenga uhusiano nao, lakini wakiondoka ni kama hatukuwahi kuwajua.

Habari za kifo chako kilituatua moyo, tarehe ishirini na moja Machi mwaka elfu mbili na ishirini, wote tukapigwa na butwaa. Ulifariki Jumamosi ya wiki tuliyofunga shule baada ya kisa Cha kwanza Cha virusi vya Corona kutangazwa nchini Tanzania na Waziri Ummi Mwalimu mnamo jumanne tarehe kumi na Saba ya mwezi Machi. Wote tulifanya kazi pamoja katika shule ya Ebenezer English Medium Primary School, wewe kama Dereva wa shule na Mimi Kama mwalimu.

Nakumbuka kauli yako mnamo jumatano tarehe kumi na nane kwamba; tusiogope virusi vya Corona kwani walioandikiwa kufa navyo wangekufa, na wengine wangebaki. Tukacheka na kumuomba Mungu. Kumbe ulikuwa utapata ajali wiki io hio , laitani mwanadamu angalifahamu kesho yake, tungeishi makini zaidi, lakini ni Siri aijuayo Mungu tu kwa utukufu wake, ametuahidi kila nafsi itaonja mauti, na kwake Mungu ndiko kuliko na marejeo.

Jumamosi ya tarehe ishirini na moja mwezi Machi 2019, mida ya saa moja katika group la WhatsApp la Wafanyikazi wa shule ya Ebenezer, ujumbe mfupi uliotufahamisha kwamba umepata ajali ulitumwa, nikakurupuka kuandika Mungu akupe afueni ya haraka, sikufahamu hali ilikuwa tete , kweli usilolifahamu ni usiku wa kiza. Saa tatu usiku nikapigiwa simu, na kupewa habari za kifo chako, moyo ukanienda mbio na kudunda mdundo wa ngoma za kimakonde, nikapigwa na butwaa nisiamini kwamba umekumbwa na mauti.

Haraka nikavaa nguo na kukimbilia shule ambapo hapakuwa mbali na nilipoishi, nikakutana na walinzi , na baada ya kuwauliza wakanihakikishia habari za tanzia, kwa kweli nilikosa nguvu, nikajawa na huzuni iso kifani, bali nikamuomba Mungu anipe nguvu ya kukubali msiba wako, maana; kazi ya Mungu haina makosa.

Ama kweli kwa dalili zake muumba katika Qur’an; ‘Nimewaumbeni na kuwafisha wengine katika umri mdogo, na wengine nikawaacha wakue kidogo Kisha nikawafisha, na wengine tukawaacha mpaka wakafika uzeeni ndio tukawafisha. Hakika juu ya haya kuna mazingatio tosha juu ya wenye kufikiri.’ Ulifariki ukiwa kijana mdogo , miaka ishirini na mitatu, ulikuwa na ndoto nyingi ambazo ulitamani kuzitimiza , lakini Mungu alikuwa na mpango Bora zaidi. Sitasahau uwepo wako na jinsi gani ulivyotuathiri, lakini namshukuru Mungu kwa kukufahamu katika uhai wako.

Mwaka elfu mbili kumi na Tisa nilipojiunga na shule ya Ebenezer ndipo tulipopata kujuana lakini mnamo mwezi wa nane mwishoni nilipokuwa na tatizo , kwa msaada wako niliweza kuishi na wewe katika majengo ya shuleni, tukawa marafiki wa Chanda na Pete, tupilia mbali ulimi na mate , kila gumu langu ukalivulia njuga kunipa moyo kwamba mambo yangeelekea. Nikiwa mgeni katika mitaa ya Magaoni ; Tanga tulikoishi, ulikuwa mwenyeji wangu tulietembea pamoja kila sehemu na kwenda madukani mjini. Wakati si mmoja tulikwenda sokoni: Tangamano ambako tulinunua bidhaa tofauti hasa nguo, nakumbuka wakati mmoja tulinunua tisheti, soksi , na suruali za ndani. Muda mwingine ulipokuwa umetumwa na mkurugenzi wa shule sokoni, tulikwenda pamoja kununua bidhaa alizokuagiza , ikawa nafasi ya Mimi kutembea na kujua sehemu zaidi. Mwezi wa Tisa ulipoingia ukanisaidia kutafuta chumba, nikalipia Kodi na tukaacha chumba kufanyiwa ukarabati. Nikiangalia vitu vingi chumbani kwangu, vinanikumbusha uwepo wako.

Ama kweli ; unapofariki mambo yote yanasahaulika, inabaki athari yako. Tulikwenda Mjini Tanga kwenye barabara za namba; kwa wale ambao hawajafika Huenda wakaona ajabu au kioja,lakini huu ndio mpako wa mji wa tanga. Barabara ya kumi na nne ambako ulinisaidia kununua kitanda , baada ya kuwa nilikuwa nimekukabidhi hela ukaninulia godoro nilalotumia sasa hivi la takriban laki mbili hela ya Tanzania.

Awali tulienda barabara ya kumi na tatu ambako tulinunua chandarua na shuka za kulalia, Kisha hukohuko barabara ya kumi na tatu ulinipeleka katika duka la wachaga ambako nilinunua viatu . Ulikuwa kijana mtanashati, nakumbuka ulivyopiga pasi na kuchomekea kila jumapili asubuhi ukielekea kanisani. Raha jipe mwenyewe, na kupenda anza kujipenda mwenyewe kabla hujawataka wengine wakupende. Mda wote tuliongelea kuhusu kujinadhifisha na kujieka sawa kimuonekano na haiba, suruali za ‘Cadet’ shati za kiofisi, Tisheti, na suruali za ‘Jeans’ ikawa miongoni mwa vitu tulivyovimezea mate na kuahidi kuvinunua kila ambapo uwezo ungepatikana.

Kaka, ulikuwa jungu kuu, hukosi ukoko, hekima na mawaidha yako katika nyanja tofauti yalinifaa mno. Ulizungumzia kuwekeza ama masuala ya kujiajiri, ikiwemo biashara ndogondogo Kama kuuza spea za pikipiki , kuanzisha kibanda Cha wakala, na vilevile tukaongelea masuala ya kilimo biashara, ufugaji na ukuzaji wa mazao tofauti. Vilevile, hukusita kusema, kuwakimbiza wanawake wa mjini wasio na malengo na wanaotaka starehe za muda mchache ni sawia na kutupa kitu Cha thamani, bali kubwa kuliko lilikuwa kuwekeza katika ndoa na kujenga familia katika umri mdogo huku tukiendeleza mishe.

Tukaahidiana kwamba tutafute wanawake wenye maono na maadili mema ili tuoe, mwaka 2020 ukawa ndio mwaka wa kupiga hatua, kumbe Mungu alikuwa na mipango mikubwa juu yako, akuondoe ulimwenguni ubwabwa wa shingo haujakutoka, ila kazi ya Mungu haina makosa, na hii ni njia yetu sote. Mbele yako, nyuma yetu. ‘Mzee baba’ kama ulivyopenda kuwaita watu, na ulivyoniita mimi, nakumbuka jinsi tulivyokwenda ‘kwa Bai’ katika banda la video kutazama mechi za mpira.

Hasa michuano ya Uefa ambayo mwaka 2019, kwa mara ya kwanza, historia iliandikwa, Ali Mbwana Samatta akiwa raia wa kwanza wa nchi ya Tanzania kucheza michuano ya kitaifa akiwa katika klabu ya Genk, nakumbuka walipocheza mechi ya kwanza walipigwa bao sita kwa moja, ila wengi wa watu walimshangilia Samatta kwa bao alilofunga, nikajifunza kumshabikia Samatta kutoka kwako. Safari zetu za usiku kurudi tulipoishi, mazungumzo marefu usiku kuhusu mpira na maisha kwa ujumla yalikuwa sehemu kubwa ya maisha uliyoishi.

Tutakukosa kwa jinsi ulivyokuwa, uliishi baina yetu na leo sisi na wewe tuko baidi, mawasiliano yamekata,Ila hatutakusahau. Ulikuwa mtu mcheshi, na mwenye roho Safi, mpenda watu, na muingiliano wako na jamii ulikuwa mzuri mno. Pumzika salama kaka, pumzika mshikaji wangu, pumzika salama mzee baba. Tutakuenzi , tutafufua , tutaendeleza ndoto zako na falsafa zako ulizoishi nazo. Nakupenda Kaka, hadi tutakapoonana tena Samwel B. Shemzigwa.

Do you often find yourself off mood and thinking of things that are out of your control. It happens to me so often, and when it does, it crumbles the little spirit and strength I have to stand up and show up every other time am needed. Needless to say , I fall victim of my expectations and the experiences I have had to live, again thinking of what went wrong and how many times I failed myself in all what I thought I would accomplish.

It’s a hard experience thinking about it, because in the outside you are kinda okay and energised but deep down you are oozing blood profusely. It’s typical for people to say, accept the decree of God, but that sounds like a cliché to me , don’t confuse me for not being a believer, I accept the Decree of God and adhere to it religiously, it’s only that this feeling sweeps you off your feet and gets you thinking, what if ? In the end , you become a wrecked ship.

I rarely share this feeling out, it’s like I am okay and yet I am not okay. So today I got to share it with somebody, who thinks it’s cool and normal , I was afraid to open up because most people would listen to judge and not to hear , advise and find a solution, it’s amazing the energy that this person has put into my story and made me feel like am not fighting the battle of my thoughts alone and there is always someone who is willing to listen and care.

We all break down sometimes, we all lose interest, we all feel like we are horrible and suck in one thing or another, it’s not that we are loosing focus, it’s only a chance to gain momentum and look into the positive side of life. Working harder and realizing that , what doesn’t kill you , makes you stronger, and with no doubt, Qadar/destiny/Fate or our decree by God is just a moderation and equalizer to our overly ambitious thoughts and dreams that might not bear fruit or follow course as we please.

Ufuska na uchafu umekithiri katika Ardhi, filamu nyingi za Hollywood utawaona wakionyesha mahusiano ya jinsia moja. Ni mipango ya makafiri na nchi za magharibi kutupotosha na kutuathiri na itikadi za kwamba kila mtu Ana haki sawa. Haki sawa kwa uchafu ulio wazi ? Leo makundi tofauti na watu waliokosa haya, wanasimama na kushabikia wanaume na wanaume au wanawake na wanawake wafanye Mapenzi Kinyume na maumbile. Kama huu ni usasa, naona ni bora wote tukabadili msimamo, maana huu ni uchafu ulio dhahiri, turuduni kwa Allah , na kifo hakiko mbali, tufuateni aliyotuamrisha Allah na tuupinge uchafu huu, tuwafundishe watoto wetu na jamii kwa ujumla kwamba Mapenzi ya jinsia moja si kawaida, ni kinyume na Allah, na Mola aliumba Adam na Hawa. Dume na jike, hakuna mwanamume mwenye homoni za kike, eti ndivyo alivyozaliwa, tusipotoshane, Turudi kwa Allah.
Allah anasema haya kuhusu habari ya watu wa Nabii Lut , waliongamizwa kwa tabia zao chafu za kuingiliana wanaume kwa wanaume na kuwapora watu mali zao katika suratul Hud (Aya ya 77-83).

(77). Na wajumbe wetu walipomjia (Nabii) Luti alihuzunika kwa ajili Yao ( hao Wageni kwa kuona kuwa watataabishwa wageni hawa. Hakujua kuwa ni malaika) na akaona taabu kwa ajili yao, na akasema:”Hii ni siku ngumu (kabisa).”

(78). Wakafika kaumu yake wakamjia mbio (nyumbani kwake ili wawafanye machafu wale wageni). Na kabla ya haya walikuwa daima wakifanya maovu, akasema (Luti) “Enyi kaumu yangu ! Hao Binti zangu (binti za umma wangu walioolewa katika nyumba zenu ) ndio wametakasika kwenu (kuwaingilia si wanaume wenzenu). Basi mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu wala msinifedheheshe mbele ya wageni wangu. Je, miongoni mwenu hakuna mtu muongofu hata mmoja?”

(79). Wakasema; “Bila Shaka umekwishajua haki tulizonazo juu ya binti zako,(lakini hatuzitaki), na unayajua tunayoyataka.”

(80). Akasema: “Laiti ningalikuwa na nguvu kwenu (mimi mwenyewe) au nategemea watu wenye nguvu ili wanisaidie juu yenu.)”

(81).( Wale wajumbe) wakasema:” Ewe Luti! Sisi ni wajumbe wa Mola wako (Malaika). Hawatakufikia(kwa baya lolote). Na ondoka pamoja na watu wako katika sehemu ya pingapinga la usiku. Wala yoyote miongoni mwenu asitazame nyuma ( atakaposikia vishindo vya kuangamizwa hao wabaya asije akarukwa na akili kwa kuona adhabu kali hiyo). Isipokuwa mke wako( mwanamke mbaya huyo hatakufuata). Naye utampata msiba utakaowapata hao. Hakika miadi Yao ni asubuhi. Je, asubuhi si karibu tu? (Basi tuliza Moyo wako. Umekwishafika wakati wao wa kuangamizwa).”

(82). Basi ilipofika amri yetu, tuliifanya (ardhi hiyo iwe juu chini); juu yake kuwa chini yake, na tukawateremshia mvua ya changarawe za udongo mgumu (wa motoni uliyokamatana).

(83). (Changarawe) zilizotiwa alama kwa Mola wako (kila moja kuwa ya mtu fulani). Na (adhabu) hii haiko mbali na madhalimu (wengine kama hawa watu wa umma huu wanaofanya machafu haya).

Adhabu kali iliwathubutukia watu wa Nabii Luti kwa machafu yao, na onyo kubwa limetolewa na Allah kwa wanaoendeleza uchafu huo katika umma huu. Enyi watu ziokoeni nafsi zenu na za familia zenu na Moto wa jahannam. Simulizi hii nzito iko hata katika bibilia ikisimulia uchafu wa sodom na gomorrah na jinsi watu wake walivyoangamizwa. Leo filamu kama; ‘Empire’ , Atlantis na nyingine nyingi zinaonyesha uchafu huu na kupotosha umma ilhali waislamu tunafumbia macho? Wengine tunatetea haki sawa kwa watu wa jinsia moja kufanya Mapenzi na kuwa na mahusiano ? Najilinda na shetani, na wallahi ukamilifu ni wa Allah pekee. Namuomba Allah atuongoze wote, na atuondolee uchafu katika dunia yetu, tufate amri zake, na tufe hali ya kuwa Allah ameridhika na sisi na jannatul firdaus ikawe makazi yetu. Aaamiin.

‘Mfanya Jambo asishe ni kama asiyefanya.’ Kila jambo kwa jambole, wakati kwa wakatile.’ ‘Usifanye pupa,maana ; mwenye pupa hadiriki kula tamu.’

Stara alikuwa akiyakumbuka maneno ya Bi.Sikitu ambayo siku zote hakuacha kumnasihi nayo. Lakini mbona maneno mazito hivi yenye kuhitaji mazingatio? Stara alikuwa ni mwanafunzi wa darasa la Saba katika shule ya Magaoni, tangu alipovunja ungo, mamake alikuwa na hofu kubwa mno, akihofia kipepeo wake angekatwa mbawa mapema mno, akose Uhuru wa kuruka na kupaa na kujichagulia maisha ya baadae yenye hadhi na staha.

Katika mitaa mingi kwenye nchi za Kiafrika, tatizo la mimba za mapema lilikuwa kubwa mno. Wako vijana na wanaume ambao waliwawinda watoto wa shule Kama Simba anavyowinda paa, wasichana wadogo walidanganywa na kulaghaiwa kuingia katika ngono za mapema. Wengi waliacha shule baada ya kupachikwa ujauzito wakiwa katika shule ya msingi, sikwambii hata walipofikia sekondari, shule ya Magaoni ilikuwa haijawa na wanafunzi wa kike waliomaliza elimu ya msingi kwa takriban miaka minne mfululizo, lilikuwa ni Jambo lililomsikitisha mama mtu mno, akawa amekula yamini kumuelimisha mwanawe na kumnasihi asiangukie vishawishi na kujiingiza katika ngono za mapema, bali adumu na nidhamu ya hali ya juu na kutia bidii masomoni ili aikarabati kesho yake.

Darasa la Saba ndio lililokuwa kilele Cha masomo ya shule ya Msingi, na mtihani wa kitaifa ulikuwa ukifanyika mwezi wa Tisa kila mwaka. Mwaka huo mnamo Januari, Darasa la akina Stara katika shule ya msingi Magaoni lilikuwa na wanafunzi wa kiume themanini na wa kike arobaini na sita, jumla ya wanafunzi mia moja ishirini na sita; mnamo mwezi wa tano, darasa likapata pigo baada ya wanafunzi kumi kugunduliwa walikuwa ni wajawazito, hili likaipunguza idadi ya wanafunzi wa kike na kubaki thelathini na sita. Jambo hili liliwasikitisha wazazi na wadau wa elimu mno, watoto wadogo ambao mwenye umri mkubwa alikuwa miaka kumi na mitano tu ; wamekuwa wazazi hali ubwabwa wa shingo haujawatoka, dunia ina visa, eti mtoto nae anamzaa mtoto mwenzie. Walikuwa bado wachanga, vipepeo ambao walikuwa na Uhuru wa kuruka mbali zaidi na kujichagulia maisha ya baadae, Ila maji yalikuwa yameshamwagika.

Bi. Sikitu ambaye ni mamake Stara aliatuliwa moyo sana na haya matukio kwani Kampeni yake ya ‘Tokemeza mimba za Mapema’ ilikuwa haijafua dafu japo aliwahi kuwanasihi vijana wao hao mwaka uliopita wakiwa darasa la sita. Alitembelea shule tofauti katika mkoa wao wa ‘Niache Nikomae’ na kuwapa nasaha wanafunzi na kuwaasa kutojihusisha katika vishawishi vinavyopelekea ngono za mapema. Alikuwa mfano mzuri kwa jamii yake na taifa zima la Tengemaa, alisoma na kuhitimu udaktari katika nchi moja ughaibuni na kurudi kuwatumikia wananchi katika hospitali ya Mkoa ya ‘Mnazi Mmoja’ mkoani Niache Nikomae, katika taifa lake la Tengemaa.

Kampeni ya Daktari Bi.Sikitu ya ‘Tokomeza Mimba za Mapema’ ilifurahiwa mno na kuonekana Kama tumaini la kuwaauni watoto wa kike katika shule za Msingi na Sekondari kote nchini ili waweze kutimiza ndoto zao za usoni. Alialikwa katika vyombo vya habari tofauti kama stesheni za Runinga na Redio kote nchini kulizungumzia suala la kutokomeza mimba za mapema kwa wanafunzi mashuleni. Katika Tengemaa T.V na Tengemaa F.m , vyombo vya habari vya taifa , wakaanzisha kipindi Cha ‘Kipepeo’ ambacho Daktari Bi. Sikitu aliongoza majadiliano , na wataalamu wengine, na kupeana nasaha kwa wazazi, wanafunzi na wananchi kwa ujumla, kauli mbiu ikiwa, “Epuka vishawishi ,Potezea Ngono, Ilinde kesho yako.” Katika vipindi hivyo wanawake tofauti waliofaulu katika nyanja mbalimbali Kama ujasiriamali, uhandisi, udaktari, ualimu , ukulima na hata fani za ufundi walialikwa na Bi. Sikitu Kama wageni waliotoa muongozo na Siri za mafanikio kwa watoto wa kike wanapokua shuleni wakisoma ili wasitoke katika malengo yao, vipindi hivi pia vililetwa mubashara runingani na katika Redio alipotembelea shule tofauti kote nchini ambako aliwatembelea wanafunzi na kuwapa nasaha na Kisha kuwatia hamasa kwa mifano mizuri ya wanawake ambao walijitenga na vishawishi , wakawa na nidhamu ya hali ya juu na kufaulu katika maisha yao.

Bi. Sikitu vilevile katika kampeni yake hakusita kufanya vikao na kuongea kwa njia nzuri na watuhumiwa wakuu wa kuwapachika wanafunzi ujauzito, wakiwemo vijana wa mitaani na wazee, kwa kuwaasa wawalinde vipepeo na kuwapa nafasi ya kukua na kukimbiza ndoto zao. Alipuuza madai kwamba, suala la kuwapa nafasi za kuwa na maendeleo wanawake na watoto wa kike lisingeweza kufanikishwa na wanaume, kwa kumleta mtaalamu wa Haki za watoto na nwanajamii maarufu Omar Abdhallah ambaye aliwapa ushauri na kuwanasihi wanaume kujitoa katika kuwapa nafasi watoto wa kike kukua na kufaulu katika nyanja mbalimbali. Kama inavyofahamika , katika kila soko hakukosi mwendawazimu, wapo vijana wakorofi ambao waliwasumbua vipepeo, kuwatongoza, na kuwalaghai , kuingia katika mahusiano ya kimapenzi, ambayo yalipelekea ngono za mapema. Serikali ya Taifa la Tengenea ilikuwa imepitisha Sheria Kali mno, na kama tunavyofahamu, sheria ni msumeno, inakata mbele na nyuma; ilisemekana kwamba mtuhumiwa yeyote atakaempachika mwanafunzi mimba, awe wa shule ya msingi au sekondari, mtuhumiwa angemakatwa na Askari na kufikishwa mahakani ambako hukumu ilikuwa miaka thelathini gerezani na kazi ngumu.

Hatua hii ya Serikali na vyombo vya sheria ilikuwa imesaidia pakubwa kupunguza visa vya mimba za mapema nchini Tengemaa .Wanafunzi wa kike walionekana kama tiketi za kujiangamiza na watu wengi waliokuwa wakitaka kuwalaghai katika mambo ya ngono waliwaepuka wanafunzi hao Kama wagonjwa wa ukoma. Ila tukio lililo tokea mwaka huo, katika shule ya Msingi Magaoni lilikuwa ‘kubwa kuliko’ jambo lisiloyumkinika, likawa limewachukiza wanajamii na taifa kwa jumla. Vyombo vya habari viliangazia tukio hilo, ikabidi Rais Makufuli akatuma jopo kazi kulishughulikia tatizo hilo. Wanafunzi kumi waliokuwa wamepatikana na uja uzito, walihitajika kwenda na wazazi wao shuleni ambako ofisi ya Mkuu wa Mkoa, mkoani Niache Nikomae pamoja na vyombo vya usalama na idara ya haki za watoto ya kitaifa kupitia Wizara ya Afya,Jinsia, wazee,na watoto walikuwa wametuma wawakilishi kuja kupata habari kamili, kupitia mahojiano na waathiriwa kumi wa mimba za mapema.

Wanafunzi wale baada ya kuraiwa na kutishwa kidogo na wadau wakiwemo Askari waliokuja kikaoni, waliwataja wahusika ambao waliwakata mbawa zao kama vipepeo na kuwanyima uhuru wa kuruka. Ilibainika kupitia Ripoti ya uchunguzi kwamba baadhi ya wahusika wa mimba hizo walikuwa vijana wa bodaboda ambao waliwadanganya wanafunzi kwa kuwapa hela ndogondogo. Wanafunzi waathiriwa walitaja changamoto kama kupata chakula mara tatu kwa siku, kukosa hela ya kununua sodo/ufyambo almaarufu, ‘Pads au Sanitary towel’ ambacho ni kitambaa kitumiwacho na mwanamke kujihifadhi wakati wa hedhi, na ifahamike kwamba hakuna aibu juu ya suala la hedhi, kwani ni shughuli ya kibayolojia katika mwili wa jinsia ya kike. Changamoto nyingine kama kukosa hela ndogondogo ya matumizi wakati wa mapumziko shuleni, au pia kukosa mahitaji muhimu kama mafuta ya kujipaka mwilini, viatu, nguo za ndani na mahitaji mengine mengi kama sababu zilizowapelekea kuchukua hela na kushindwa kuwa na mwafaka wa kuzilipa hela hizo , ndiposa kukubali shingo upande masharti ya waasi hao. Kupitia Ripoti ya jopokazi , watuhumiwa walikamatwa na vyombo vya usalama na kuchukuliwa hatua za kisheria.

Baada ya siku tatu, Ya mgambo ililia , Bi.Sikitu akawaita wanakijiji wote katika Mkutano wa dharura; shuleni Magaoni. Wanafunzi na walimu pia walihudhuria mkutano huo; umati mkubwa ulifurika furifuri katika ukumbi mkubwa shuleni hapo. Baada ya Salamu, Bi. Sikitu akawa tayari kuhutubia halaiki.

” Ndugu wananchi mliohudhuria hadhara hii , ni jukumu letu kufahamu kwamba, mabadiliko hayaji kwa watu mpaka wenyewe waamue kujibadilisha. Kama lilivyo jina la mkoa wetu wa ; ‘Niache Nikomae’ itatulazimu na sisi kuwaacha watoto na hasa wanafunzi wetu wa kike wakomae, wazazi mna jukumu kubwa la kuwapa mawaidha wanafunzi wenu, kuwaongoza na kuwalinda dhidi ya waharibifu wanaotaka kuzima ndoto zao. Wanafunzi wa kike ndio ambao hutungwa ujauzito na kuishilia kuacha shule, chondechonde nawaasa, wanafunzi wote wa kike waliohudhuria hadhara hii, epukeni vishawishiwi kama, kupewa hela, kupewa lifti kwenye pikipiki au gari, kununuliwa chipsi au vitu vingine vidogo mvipendavyo, jifunzeni kuwa wavumilivu na kuridhika na vile wanavyowapa wazazi wenu, kwani wazazi ndio watu sahihi wa kuwapa msaada usiokuwa na malipo, ama walimu wenu na watu mnaowafahamu vizuri katika jamii. Iwapo mtu yeyote atataka kukudhulumu kimapenzi huna budi kupiga ripoti haraka kwa vyombo vya usalama. Shida zisiwafanye mkajishusha na kuwapelekea kuingia katika ngono za mapema. Kama ilivyo kampeni yangu ya ; ‘Tokomeza Mimba za Mapema’ kauli mbiu ikiwa ; ‘ Epuka vishawishi, Potezea ngono, ilinde kesho yako.’ Jilindeni kama mlivyo , vipepeo ambao wako huru kuzifuata na kuzikimbiza ndoto zao.

Wazazi niwakumbushe kutoyaacha majukumu yenu kwa watoto wenu mpaka wafikie kuomba msaada kwa watu wasiowajua, hakuna msaada unaotolewa bure bila ya kutaraji malipo, hususan msaada unaotolewa na mtu usiemfahamu,ama kutojua nia yake, mda mwingine watu hao huwa wanawatega watoto. Vijana wetu na wanaume walio katika hadhara, na wale ndugu waendeshaji bodaboda, nafahamu fika sio kila mwendesha bodaboda ana nia ya kuwakata mbawa vipepeo wetu kwa kuwapachika mimba na kuwanyima uhuru wa kwenda mbali na kufanikiwa maishani; Ila nawaasa wote , jinsia ya wanaume kutowatoa wanafunzi wetu wa kike au vipepeo wetu katika malengo yao. Serikali imefanya mipango kabambe, na kuweka wazi kwamba hatua kali zitachukuliwa kwa watakaojihusisha katika mapenzi na wanafunzi na pia kuwapachika mimba watoto wa shule. Msiwe wakauleni au wadhabidhabina, wenye sifa ya vigeugeu, kuweni na msimamo ili tuweze kufanikisha azma ya kuwalinda na kuwapa nafasi watoto wa kike kama jamii.

Leo vilevile tumeambatana naye Naibu Mwenyekiti wa shirika la wakfu la Ramo and Carrie Foundation na vilevile yeye ni mwanzilishi wa Big Dada Initiative, Bi. Fatma Nantaa; wao ni wadau ambao wanafanya kampeni ya Afya ya Hedhi mashuleni, kupeana Sodo, na pia kuwapa nasaha wanafunzi katika mada tofauti ili waweze kufaulu katika masomo yao. Kauli mbiu katika masuala ya afya ya Hedhi, ikiwa ‘No Shame In Menstruation’ , hakuna aibu katika suala la hedhi. Vilevile wanafanya ziara za kutembelea nyumba za mayatima na wale wasiojiweza katika mpango wa kuwawezesha na mahitaji mbalimbali. Tutashirikiana nae na mashirika hayo kuhakikisha watoto wetu wa kike na wanafunzi wote kwa ujumla wanapata ushauri nasaha na kuwa katika mazingira salama zaidi. Maneno mazuri ni mafupi na yenye kueleweka, nimeona nikomee hapo, lakini niwasihi wazazi kwamba tutawapa nafasi vipepeo waliokatwa mbawa kurudi shuleni na kufanya mtihani wa Darasa la saba baada ya kujifungua.

Tunawashukuru wadau wote wa Idara ya Elimu kwa kuliwezesha hili la vipepeo kupewa nafasi ya pili. Ni nafasi ya dhahabu na nafasi iliyo adimu kwani nchi nyingi barani zinahusisha mimba za mapema na utovu wa nidhamu hivyo basi kupelekea waathiriwa kutopata nafasi ya kukamilisha safari yao ya masomo.Watakaporudi shuleni, ombi langu ni kwa walimu, wanafunzi na jamii yote kutowanyanyapaa na kuwaona kinyaa, muwape mazingira mazuri ya kujirudi na kutengeza kesho yao kwani; kufanya kosa si kosa ila kurudia kosa ndio kosa. Na tena miongoni mwao wapo wenye akili nyingi tu ambao kwa muongozo wanaweza kufaulu katika masomo yao. Vipepeo mlio hapa leo, langu ni kuwaasa kutia bidii na kujituma masomoni ili mfaulu maishani. Kumbukeni kwamba, mtenda jambo asishe, ni kama asiyetenda, na vilevile mwenye pupa hadiriki kula tamu, kila Jambo kwa jambole na wakati kwa wakatile, mkinisikiliza ; Kama yalivyo maneno ya mchekeshaji Mmoja kule nchini Changamoto; ‘Ungenisikiliza usingeyatindinganya Mambo, au usingeyatondomoa,’ yaani mkiwa wasikivu hakuna jambo litakalokwenda kombo na kukoseka. Vilevile tutaanzisha mfumo wa kuwazawadi wanafunzi wanaofanya vizuri masomoni, na wenye nidhamu. Nitakuwa mchache wa shukrani na mpuuza fadhila iwapo nitakosa kutambua uwepo wenu nyote. Niseme, nawashukuru Sana kwa kujitolea kwa wingi mno, kuja kunisikiliza, ahsanteni sana, Mungu ibariki Magaoni, Mungu ubariki mkoa wetu wa Niache Nikomae, Mungu libariki taifa letu la Tengemaa.”

Alishuka kutoka kwenye jukwaa asteaste huku akijifuta michirizi ya jasho usoni mwake. Makofi, miluzi, vifijo,na nderemo vilisikika kutoka kila upande wa hadhara hii katika ukumbi wa shule ya Msingi Magaoni. Hadhara iliokuwa na watu wengi mno, hata mvua ingenyesha matone yasingefika chini. Vijana wa mtaani, wakauita uma Kama huu ; ‘watu kibao.’ Stara akiwa na wanafunzi wenzake katika hadhira alifurahishwa mno na ushupavu wa mamake akawaunga wanakijiji kwa kumpongeza mamake kwa hotuba nzuri mno iliogonga vichwa vya habari na kuchapishwa katika makala lukuki nchini na nje ya nchi. Wanakijiji na wananchi waliondoka ukumbuni na mazingatio makubwa, wengi wakijiahidi kuwa mabalozi wa mabadiliko na mchango chanya kwa jamii yenye maendeleo na ufanisi wa hali ya juu.

…..MWISHO……..

This is thought provoking and very educative. On the subject of women standing in society as vulnerable subjects and bending part of their principles to please men who could seem as opportunists to harm them persay because the woman’s intelligence surpasses them, or her being woman is subject to being a sexual object although it’s not supposed to be the case, I think such people are suffering from toxic masculinity and could be experiencing an inferiority complex and some mental related problem.

I am otherwise personally, very okay with creating safe spaces for girls and women in a rather male dominated society, we ; men; should be ready to cushion women and make them feel at peace and not threatened, whether or not we are benefitting from them, it’s a great time to accept that a woman could outsmart a man or do better things and this shouldn’t mean that men are at risk of loosing their so called ‘value’ and place in the society.

I don’t support any act of violence or any toxic habits in a relationship, I think as much as a woman could be entangled with a vicious man who could seem a threat even when they call the relationship quits, it should be a responsibility for everyone to walk away from a relationship that is crumbling and falling apart, even if it’s in a marriage situation, because all human beings need in their life, is peace to live through the days we have on Earth. I am of the opinion too that African men should change their approach towards women, marriage and upbringing of their children , to create a better society and not a failed one.

Indeed some of the men need to see Psychologists , seek guidance and be guided onto how not to sexualize every woman, how to be able to walk out of a relationship and not feel like they own the woman and should probably harm them and that a woman has no right to live in this world beside being in a relationship with a man whether the man is abusive and a threat or not.

Asalam aleikum brothers and sisters in Islam.
Let’s strive to finish the Qur’an or also learn more of it. The blessed month of Ramadhan is coming to an end and we don’t know whether we will get it next year. The sahabas used to cry towards the end of Ramadhan, sad that a month where rewards for khairat are multiplied is going away, a month that comes with a lot of blessings and cultivates Taqwa is leaving, the month that Qur’an was revealed.

A month where if you pray sunnah its rewards are for a faradh prayer. A month that has the night that is better than a thousand months(83 years and 4 months). A month where Iblis alayhillaana and his companions have been chained in far in the deep seas and has no influence on us, a month where the gates of Jannah are opened and those of hell are closed.

A month where duas are answered, and Rasulullah in his hadeeth mentions the time before breaking the fast as a time when one says a dua to Allah, they will be granted what they ask for. A time to reflect and nourish our hearts with The love of Allah, a time to understand it’s not about shaitan, but fighting our nafs and being strong in our imaan.

Soon Shaitwan will be opened after Ramadhan and will go back to influencing our lives; he promised Allah to destroy the children of his enemy ; Adam, and Allah promised him to take astray those of us human beings whom are not blessed and not under Allah’s mercy. Let’s pray to Allah that he makes us among the righteous and those blessed not to be influenced into sin by Shaitaan.

May Allah grant us good health and zeal to finish the Month of Ramadhan in style having attained taqwa and that we attain piety going forward past the month of Ramadhan till next year when we meet another Ramadhan or if not ; upon our demise in his Decree then to die in Piety. May Allah grant us ease and forgive us all our sins. May we die when Allah is pleased with us and that Jannah is our final abode.
