TRIANGULAR IMPACT OF MSSN: MY ACCOUNT

TRIANGULAR IMPACT OF MSSN IN ATM’s LIFE (A)

I was a little boy, who was enrolled into Madrasah by my beloved father and supported by my late Mother (of blessed memory)  before my enrollment into primary school in the early 90s.
My Arabic knowledge foundation was laid in مدرسة سعادة الإسلامية في مدينة طوماس لاغوس نيجيريا  by my Ustadh سماحة الأستاذ إسماعيل مدثر، خليفة الشيخ مدثر إلياس أووويمي.
During this process I was so engrossed in the normal Madrasah student’s life of Nankali (Arabic and local inclusive) and was a Tijaniyyah member for at least 12 years, I wasn’t initiated into Tijaniyyah (ie. Mio gbowo wiridi) because I was born into it as my father was also a Member (Muridi) under the founder of our Madrasah. I can’t count the number of Maulud Nabiyy of Sheik Abubakar Sulaiman, Itire and Sheik Muhammadul Awwal Ayinla Otolorin, Oshodi and Omupo I have attended (رحم هما الله تعالى)
During the period under review, I fully participated in Tijaniyyah activities and Nankali ways of life, so much so that, this is my second decades of leaving those parts but I still have some of the practices fresh in my brain, you can check the following.
1. Tijaniyyah: Salatul faatih, Jahaoratul Kamal, Hayu Dafiu, Salatu Tunjinaa and host of others.
2a. Nankaliyah (Arabic):
ا. كل كليد بولين كرا وكان له لولين كرا وحور بسكور كرا، الذي ورأيت كرا، أي كرا أبو كرا كنار كرا، إن الله كان عليما حكيما.
ب. كفاك ربك كم يكفيك واكفتها، كفكفوها كككيم كان من كلق، تكركراء ككركراء مشكشكات كلت لك الخلق، كفاك ما بك كم يكفيك قربته يا كوكب كان يحكي كوكب الفلق.
2b. Nankaliyah (Local):
i. Aayan o Lori aasafa sii, beeni eera o Lori aagbegedee lu, Ijo tewure badari sanpanfa, Inu agbara eje lewure n sun…
ii. Aharape lodifa fun orunmila, nijo tin lo silu igbojo, nibi won gbe n kuwo bi Eni kulubo, ti won gbe n sagede bi eni Sakuta, tawon aje n ke soro sara soro, won ni orunmila Ile beun ma Lee, orunmila ni ibi to bale loye komokunrin maagbe, ibe lohun o since maagbe…

These and the likes are what Allah in His infinite mercy salvaged me from through the tireless efforts of some brothers in MSSN Kosofe-Ajegunle Branch (now Owode-Ajegunle) under MSSN Lagos State Area Unit.
