IMPLICATION OF NOT VOTING WITH SINCERITY 

By: ‎Abd'hakeem Adeoye

An Islamic Scholar, Ustaz Abdulhakeem Thanni, has ‎appealed to all eligible 
voters especially Muslims to vote with sincerity during elections.
‎
Ustaz Thanni said this during a discussion segment on a radio programme, 
MSSNLagos HALF HOUR, on Star FM 101.5 between 8:30am-9am.
‎
The programme, which usually holds every Saturday, had 'Islam versus Democracy: The views on Leadership', as its last episode's topic.
‎
‎Thanni alerted voters that they would account for all their deeds on the day of 
judgement, including how they exercised their voting right.
‎‎
‎The scholar also ‎advised Muslims to ensure that they participate in the forth-coming February election.‎
‎
“It is a way of changing evil and setting uprightness to the Nigerian society‎.
Voting according to Islam is testifying that an individual is trusted and reliable," he added. ‎

‎
He explained there are some practices in democracy that have firm root in Islam and emphasised that laws made by Allah are supreme.‎
‎
He said, “Representation, voting, leadership, freedom of religion, freedom of 
expression among others are identified and supported by the Quran and hadith. On the other hand, favourism, personal interest, making of laws which 
democracy recognize are not in the religion."‎

‎
The scholar added that  ‎participation of competent and trusted Muslims in 
democracy was imperative to rescuing Nigeria out of its crumbling society.

He quoted Prophet Muhammed(SAW) ‎ as saying, "If any of you sees something 
wrong, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if 
he cannot, then with his heart and this is the weakest faith."‎

This happened at the Palms Shopping Mall in Victoria Island Lagos; This is very scary and could happen to any of us. Seems like every nice thing people do for one another can be perverted. This is a new twist to kidnapping from a very smart survivor. About a week ago, there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women. The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat tyre. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat tyre. A nice man dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, “I noticed you’re changing a flat tyre. Would you like me to take care of it for you?” The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the tr
