All praise is due to Almighty Allah, and abundant blessing be on the soul of the noble Messenger Muhammad (SAW), his household, Companions and genuine loyalists till eternity. Allah's permission to witness yet another year 2025 in life is appreciated. In His wisdom of creation, seconds multiply to minutes, minutes to hours, hour to day. Days gravitate into weeks, week to month, months to year, years to decade and later century. But for the sole Engineer behind the system, what would have become the whole world?

YEAR 2025; NEED FOR GENUINE FOCUS
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
All praise is due to Almighty Allah, and abundant blessing be on the soul of the noble Messenger Muhammad (SAW), his household, Companions and genuine loyalists till eternity. Allah's permission to witness yet another year 2025 in life is appreciated. In His wisdom of creation, seconds multiply to minutes, minutes to hours, hour to day. Days gravitate into weeks, week to month, months to year, years to decade and later century. But for the sole Engineer behind the system, what would have become the whole world?
As the title reads, the year 2025 is ushered in amidst of various challenges emanated from the lapsed year. Resolutions trickled in and Muslims worshippers were also inconsequential to the euphoria of the festivity. This is bothered on the nomenclature of Nigeria national outlook among Committee of nations. This notwithstanding, the decision to pursue life-goal vigorously rather than ill-fated and empty annual resolutions.
Allah (SWT) categorically declares in the holy Qur'an: "Here is a plain statement to men, a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah!. So loose not heart, nor fall into despair: for you must gain mastery if you are true in faith. If a wound has touched you, be sure a similar wound had touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loves not those that do wrong." The above Qur'an portion is self-explanatory.
Meanwhile, life presents multitudes of fortune and misfortune, aura of excitement and awe of sorrow, and also good and bad. Between these extremes, getting fixated about evolving situation like the new year, meets waterloo in its essence and would remain obsessional and indeed neurological. Good and evil are rather two sides of a coin (Naira note); of which you cannot afford to spend a side but jettison the other. This bothers on possible moving forward because life is full of ups and downs. Whatever is brought should be embraced and chatting a new cause becomes necessary.
The practical of this philosophy is the new year 2025. Similarity of the past in life is like a pupil in lower class of studies. His attempt to cover up mistakes made during writing push him to clean ink-written with finger-tip, an attempt that makes the paper awkward looking.
Pressing further, he used chalk to clean the mistakes but it makes a bit fade only to re-appear and he was punished for that. Not until a kind-hearted teacher advised him to always put a cross over the mistake made and moving forward. On enquiry, he said:' I did not want the teacher to see my mistakes.' In effects, the efforts so far further exposed his mistakes to the world.
Taking to the mentor's advice would not only enable him to gather more speed in writing but also his work would remain neater to the admiration of teachers and parents. This is the parable of matters of mistakes in life such as the failure recorded during past year like 2024 as prelude to respective and unfolding events in 2025.

Think less of the past because better things are ahead of you in 2025. 'New year, new resolution', These go in tandem with various humanitarian approaches to morality including 'Doing away with lies' (Qur'an 22:30). 'Spy not' is the central theme of Qur'an 49:12. 'Insult not anyone' Qur'an 49:11 and 'Waste not resources', human and materials posts high in Qur'an 17: 26 while Qur'an 49:12 bothers on avoiding 'Backbiting'.
In a contrary position, 'Feeding the poor' (Q22: 36) and no 'Anger' is allowed (Qur'an 3:134). 'Think good of others' (Q24:12); 'No rude to parents' (Qur'an 17:23); and 'Repel evil with goodness' (Qur'an 41:34). Above all, 'Pray fervently' at all times and against all odds. Much of the moral precepts in the Qur'an are lucid enough for understanding and implementation.
To this end, there should be aura of enthusiasm in respect of any circumstance in life. For in life, it is not unexpected to have cause of happiness laiden with sooner awe of misfortune. Getting fixated about any situation is an affirmation of susceptible to fatalism. However, the noble Messenger Muhammad (SAW) was reported having said: 'Chastise not the vicissitude of life, for Allah (SWT) reserves being Overseer of all.'
Summarily, the need for genuine focus in the new year 2025 is a ball in every Believers' court. Playing down on the otherwise, harnesses loyalty of purpose and unalloyed compliance with Allah's dictates. This principle is applicable to every situation in the human circle. It is advisable to always remain focus in the pursuance of long-term goal of life. Till we meet again another edition, stay blessed.
