So far, more than 370 cases have been reported, with the disease predominantly affecting children under the age of five. The hardest-hit areas are Eldas and Wajir West constituencies. According to Wajir County Chief Officer of Medical Services, Mr Mohamed Guhad, Eldas health facility has recorded the highest number of cases, with more than 150 patients, while Arbajahan is handling over 130 cases.
Attainment of the station of a Muttaqi (one who has Taqwa) is a life-long journey and not limited to the month of Ramadan only. However the most potent time of the year is Ramadan which facilitates this great opportunity. The heart and the soul is most in-tune with the Quran – the words of Allah. The soul is receptive and the mind flushes out the forbidden and impure thoughts, if Ramadan rules were observed righteously and with sincerity.
The recent celebration of two PhD graduates from Wajir, one in Islamic Law and the other in International Relations, highlights a divergence in parental values and priorities. While both sets of parents take pride in their children’s academic achievements, the fields of study chosen reflect markedly different approaches to investment in their future.
In its August 1st 1996 issue, Ad-Da’wah Magazine reported the story of Umm Saalih who completed the memorisation of the magnificent Quran at the age of 82 years. She memorised the first three parts of the Quran during her childhood while the remaining 27 parts took her about 70 years.
As a widow of seven children she had a lot of responsibilities in providing for her young family, yet the love for the Qur’an never left the heart and mind of Umm Saalih. It seemed her focus in her entire life was about achieving this milestone dream.
