IS JAMIU ADEGUNWA NOT A KAAFIR?
I am not comfortable with what this situation has imposed on me. It’s a case of situational ethics anyway. The obligation of having to comment on the activities of one intelligent fool is a burden on my conscience. Ordinarily, Jamiu Adegunwa does not deserve the attention of my pen.
Here is a good example of a garrulous ignorantest, a jaahil murakkab. Jamiu Adegunwa lacks the intellectual capacity to function as a student in a Taadiri class. How he finds himself holding the microphone to speak for Islam is my concern. We need our scholars’ verdict if, with those blasphemous utterances, he’s still a Muslim.
Jamiu had grown up in my neighborhood as a mere errand biblical tongue of Abdul Latif Adebowale, with a skill of both Arabic language and classical English at absolute zero. However, I do not know how this restive street boy who can neither read nor pronounce the Arabic alphabets begen to speak for Islam in Yoruba land.
If we pardoned the late Abdul Latif Adebowale for bringing Jamiu Adegunwa to the limelight, we wouldn’t overlook the institutional blunder of Markaz Ta’leem, Agege, for allowing the boy to share a front seat table with its principal. Professor Lakin Akintola should also save his own honour by dissociating himself from him.
Jamiu Adegunwa blasphemed the Messenger of Allah in his public speeches. He made to diminish the sacred status of the holy Prophet Muhammad, may he be praised. He has boldly profaned the personality of the custodian of the divine message, which can only be done freely in Yoruba land, because the practice of Islam – as I have always said – is yet to commence in that region.
I give Jamiu the excuse of ignorance. But what if I told you that I had generously put a call across to him immediately he uttered the blasphemous statement that the Messenger of Allah did not understand some Qur’anic verses. He had however responded ignorantly, as a proof of evidence, that the verses of the two seas that would not cross into each other in Suratur Rahman: 19-20 and also the verse (92) of Suratul Tunus, in which Allah has promised to preserve the body of Fir’aun, are examples of the Qur’anic verses not understood by the holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Jamiu Adegunwa had cited this to me during a telephone conversation to substantiate his public insult to the holy Prophet. He had ignorantly claimed that the Messenger of Allah had no knowledge of the true meaning of these verses. SubhanAllah! It is thus clear that Jamiu’s ignorance is chronic, indeed.
I remember admonishing him, one on one, for more than two hours under my pilgrims’ tent on the first day of Munna during the 2023 Hajj. I spoke to him about his villainous dawah methodology, his belligerent approach to Da’wah and endless hostilities with other dawah activists, such as Yusuf Adepoju. All he could say to me was that social media is for money making.
I call on all the teachers of knowledge amongst the Sufi, the Salafi and the Haraki to come out in multitude to clarify these nefarious claims frivolously uttered by the street boy of Lagos. Those who have publicly identified with him should also come to the public and say something to save their honour. Let’s join hands together to rescue the boy from the pit of hell.
May Allah assist Mr. Jamiu Adegunwa to be quickly repentant and take the shahaadah, before it’s too late.
