This evening oct 21, saharareporters posted that a Popular Islamic scholar in Nigeria named Dr. Ahmad Gumi, son of late famous Sheik Abubakar Gumi this morning wrote General Muhammadu Buhari an open letter asking him not to contest the 2015 presidential election against President Goodluck Jonathan in view of its severe implications.

The reason for Abu Zar's weakness has nothing to do with his credibility or truthfulness. Never! The prophet was narrated as saying: "there is nobody under the shadows of trees or bare sun that is more honest in speech than Abu Zar"
Abu Zar - May Allah be pleased with him- is ascetic and inmaterialistic. Abu Zar is incorruptible. And yet he is not suitable for leadership.
I am not claiming to be even by an atom's weight anything close to our noble prophet, yet I am encouraged to give you this same advice by the virtue that you are not also close to Abu Zar in piety. We are living in a time of great tribulations and fitnah especially for………
