Every time i see a reference to The Glorious Qur'an, i remember Abdullahi Yusuf Ali whose life didn't end the way i believe it was supposed to (this is my opinion) but Allah knows best. A Thread:
Abdullahi Yusuf Ali wrote probably the most wildly used translation of the Qur'an titled, The Glorious Qur'an: Translations and commentary. The morning of 10th December 1953, a policeman found a half-conscious old man slumped on a street bench in the Westminster area of London.
The man died a day later and you guessed right, the delirious old man was Abdullahi Yusuf Ali. Although he wrote the most famous translation of the Qur'an, was one of the most senior muslim civil servants in India, inaugurated the first mosque in Canada...
...represented India at the Paris Peace Talks in 1919, was a trustee of London’s oldest mosque, was a known educationist and a prolific writer on Islam; He died alone, homeless, and with no one by his side.
Yusuf Ali lived at a time when the British were pillaging, ransacking and colonizing the world. During world war I, the british had nearly half a million muslim soldiers (indian/pakistani/bangladeshi) and Some refused to fight the Turkish Ottoman soldiers who had joined the war..
\u201cSurely, Allah does not change the condition of a people unless they change what is in themselves.\u201d

I’ve got some interesting responses to this so I’ll like to demystify a commonly used but misleading saying!
If you study the Bible to extract the nature of God, you will most definitely find that God prioritizes “efficiency” and is NOT wasteful about resource allocation
THREAD
In efficiency, you want to use the least power to achieve the most result, right?
Someone asked me if I have given sight to the blind. Of course it was a joke, but yes I have. As a matter of fact, I have given sight to more people than Jesus is recorded to have.
Jesus used a “miracle” cos that’s what was available and the most efficient solution at the time.
I used a more efficient method by using money, not power.
Jesus also healed the sick using miracles. The woman with the issue of blood drained power from him and he felt it.
Me, I reserve that special power for more important things so again, I simply use money to pay for treatment of others.
When God wanted to help Nigeria become cement sufficient, did he call a pastor?
He called those equipped with the network, knowledge & resource to execute
“God does not call the equipped but equips the called”
If you believe in system efficiency, which I believe God prioritizes, then you’ll see that the saying is quite rubbish unless you are hoping for magic in the name of miracles
When God looked for “a man” and didn’t find...
