ALBANI Kainuwa Dashen Allah

ALBANI
Kainuwa dashen Allah


Let me call a spade a spade. It is injustice to associate terrorism or illegal weapon possession with a person whose desire, mission, ambition and dream is to make Nigeria a better place of living for you and me. Being a Scientist of Hadith, Sheikh Muhammad Auwal Adam Albany was motivated by one of the many ahadith of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) – THE BEST OF ALL MANKIND IS HE WHO IS OF GREAT BENEFIT TO THE MANKIND - to spend his money like water in propagating the word of Allah and humanitarianism.
His benevolence is now being witnessed by the people living in Zaria, where every penny of his, goes to the building of a great school the first of its kind, of which when completed, over one thousand children will have free education right from primary level up to university level.

What does such a person have to do with weapon?!

Albany had transformed many “yan tauri” into God fearing and obedient citizens of our dear country Nigeria through his Godly sermons and eloquent lectures.

Then, how can such a person be the architect of trouble in our dear state?!

Internationally, Sheikh Albany is an icon to not only the Nigerian pilgrims but the entire pilgrims of the world. Self sponsored, he shoulders the task of guiding pilgrims in the holy land of Saudia Arabia to have a successful Hajj operation.

How can such a person get a misnomer of terrorist from people and ……..?

Sheikh Albany, handsome, tall and strong like tower is a “Ganuwa” : city wall, protecting rulers and the ruled. In fact Albany is an insulating tape protecting people from the possibility of being affected by the electric shock of ignorance, poverty and any thing that can bring about insurgency.
My people! Is that the reward Albany deserves from us? Poor Albany! Look at how some pesky insects and mischief-making people get him into uncharted waters. I am disappointed and troubled. On behalf of my pen and humble self I am here begging those concerned to let no miscarriage of justice manifest in the issue.
Whatever one may think of, Albany is KAINUWA DASHEN ALLAH. This is an idiomatic expression in Hausa meaning no one has ever claim the planting of water lily and no one can wipe it off the face of the earth.

ALBANIYYA

ALBANIYYA
By
Muhammad Mahmud Yarima


The serpent spat its saliva
On my only one dear Osama:
Commander of faith, scholar martyr.
The saliva impregnated
The big black barren cloud
Which sends deadly drizzle down
Pushing Albaney: Baba, behind bars.
Poor, petite, powerles I am,
If I am my powerful fearless pen
No one can come for the arrest at all.
Be brave, Albaney be brave!
Allah is your second as He’s the third
Of your Master Muhammad Rasulullahi
When in cave he’s with Abubakar.
Silent still some small mouths are;
My pen ‘ll talk, and yell and shout
Until free you are Baba Albaney.
Shredders to our DEEN they’ll never be
And to backslide we’ll never do.
So
Free! Free! Free!!
My only Spiritual Leader:
Allama Albaney Auwal Adam.
