SHEIKH MUHAMMAD KABIRU HARUNA GOMBE: A BEACON OF DEDICATION AND SACRIFICE IN ISLAMIC PROPAGATION
In a world where distractions abound and true commitment to faith is often tested, Sheikh Muhammad Kabiru Haruna Gombe stands as a shining example of unwavering dedication to the propagation of Islam. As the National Secretary of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa ‘iqamatis Sunnah, JIBWIS Nigeria, he has tirelessly worked to spread the teachings of Islam, emphasizing the importance of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. His leadership, vision, and sacrifice have touched the hearts of millions of Muslims, both within and outside Nigeria.
One of the most profound demonstrations of his impact is his role in the annual Ramadan preaching session at the JIBWIS National headquarters in Utako, Abuja.
Beyond delivering powerful sermons that inspire and guide believers, Sheikh Kabiru Haruna Gombe has also shown immense dedication to humanitarian causes. This year alone, he spearheaded a fundraising effort that generated an astounding 67 million naira for the orphans—a feat that speaks volumes about his influence and the trust he has earned from the Muslim Ummah.
Leadership, Unity, and the Advancement of Islam under Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau:
Under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, JIBWIS Nigeria has remained a pillar of strength and unity for the Muslim community. Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau has consistently emphasized the need for adherence to Islamic teachings, proper coordination, and orderliness within the Ummah. His leadership has ensured that JIBWIS continues to thrive, focusing on education, Da’awah, and social welfare, rather than engaging in unnecessary distractions.
A wise leader understands the importance of prioritizing the mission over frivolous debates, and Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau has demonstrated this wisdom by guiding those handling the social media platforms of JIBWIS Nigeria to remain steadfast in promoting Islamic teachings rather than entertaining baseless criticisms. This strategic approach ensures that the Ummah remains focused on enlightenment rather than division.
A message to the so-called critics:
It’s unfortunate that while dedicated scholars like Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, Sheikh Kabiru Haruna Gombe, and others like them are fully engaged in their noble mission of Islamic propagation, some individuals who call themselves Islamic preachers waste their time indulging in unnecessary criticisms and baseless attacks. Such detractors should understand that the work of Da’wah is not about personal ego or petty rivalries, but about sincere service to Almighty Allah.
Sheikh Kabiru Gombe has proven his capacity, sacrifice, dedication, confidence, and commitment time and again. Those who engage in needless criticisms should reflect on their actions and ask themselves whether they have contributed even a fraction of what Sheikh Kabiru Gombe has done for Islam and the Muslim Ummah. As the Hausa proverb goes, “Wutsiyar Rakumi tayi nisa da kasa,” meaning “The Camel’s tail is far from the ground.”
The legacy of true scholars is measured not by how loud their voices are in arguments, but by the impact of their teachings, the lives they touch, and the sincerity of their mission. Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau and Sheikh Kabiru Gombe have chosen to walk the noble path of guidance, unity, and selfless service. May Almighty Allah continue to strengthen them and bless their efforts in advancing the religion of Islam.
