ADDRESS TO ALL

-

  All praises and adorations be to Allah (SWT) the Lord of the worlds, we beseech His blessings upon the noblest of mankind, RosuuluLlaah (SAW), his households, companions and the generality of the Muslims following his path till the day of recompense.

Muslim students' society of Nigeria University college hospital, MSSN-UCH is a Muslim body in the college of medicine, UCH that seeks into the affairs of all the muslim students studying health related courses across the various schools in UCH which include: SON, PON, MBBS, BDS, SHIM, FFS, CHO, Physiotherapy, BMLS.

There are some points we need to note:

Firstly, serving Allah and remembering Him regularly should be our watchword as our main primary assignment on this surface of the earth is to worship Allah. And by putting Him first in all we do, that is how our hearts will find peace. Allah says:

[Q51:56]

“And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve me”.

Secondly, in MSSN-UCH unity is our utmost priority, a society without unity never lasts long. We do things together, together everyone achieves more because there is beauty in togetherness. Assist your brother or sister if he or she is lacking in one aspect or the other be it academically, deen-wise or even financially if you are capable. Never have hatred for your brethren, love them, hate their bad actions, try to correct it politely if you can in order for them to attain a level of piety.

The prophet (SAW) said: 'None of you is a (true) believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself'.

Also, our academics is very important as this is the reason we are called Muslim students. Our primary assignment in this institution is our academics, it would be best if we worked towards excellence. Malpractice should be avoided by all means, it is a bad act and is frowned at in Islam. Muslims, verily, are known and should be known for excellence

In addition, keeping good friends and asking questions about what is not clear will go a long way in promoting our understanding of some things. Hence, I implore us all to adhere to this and try our best not to deviate from achieving this aim (academic excellence and spiritual soundness).

Lastly, our participation in the activities of MSSN will not only grant us reward from our Lord but will also bring about self-development. Going on visitations to the hospitals, prison yard and motherless babies homes is part of the charitable acts that are carried out and a sense of fulfillment usually is the end result. We can also develop our writing skills by joining Al-llaaj, the press arm of the society or develop our business experience by venturing into Al-Falaah ventures.

In all, there is a lot to gain if we decide to become active member sof MSSN.

We pray Allah (SWT) grant us the best in this life and in the hearafter.

Aameen.

Stomach Ulcer Among Medical Students: A Growing Concern

-
Image
Earlier this year, during my clinical posting at Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital in Ibadan, I encountered a surprising finding. A large group of medical students underwent screening for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the bacterium commonly linked to stomach ulcers. To my amazement, over 90% of these students tested positive for H. pylori, indicating that the majority either suffer from or are at high risk of developing stomach ulcers. Knowing that many of my friends also struggle with this condition, I began to wonder: Is the intense academic pressure contributing to the high prevalence of stomach ulcers among medical students?   Why Are Medical Students More Vulnerable? Recent studies suggest that medical students face a higher risk of developing stomach ulcers, with prevalence rates reaching up to 40%. This increased risk is believed to stem from a combination of chronic stress, unhealthy eating habits, and insufficient sleep.   But What Makes...

Sheikh Shrieked Shirk: A Timeless Reminder

-

Among the greatest responsibilities as Muslims is the recognition of Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the avoidance of Shirk (associating partners with Him). It is a matter that defines salvation and destruction in the Hereafter. Allah reminds us through the words of the wise Luqman, when he advised his son with powerful and enduring words: يَٰبُنَيَّ لَا تُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرۡكَ لَظُلۡمٌ عَظِيمࣱ “O my son, do not associate anything with Allah. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice.” ( Surah Luqman 31:13) Shirk is the gravest injustice because it places created beings at the level of the Creator, and it undermines the very essence of Eemaan (belief). Allah says: إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَ...
