Innalillahi Wainna Ilaihi Rajiun.

The Founder of FOMWAN, association that gave birth to Iqra Academy Yola, Haj Aisha Lemu passed away.

Brief Biography of Late Aisha Lemu

Aisha Lemu was born in Poole, Dorset, in 1940, as Bridget Aisha Honey. At the age of thirteen, she began to question her faith and began exploring other religions including Hinduism and Chinese Buddhism. She studied at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), pursuing her interest in Chinese history, language and culture. While there, she met Muslims who gave her Islamic literature to read and she converted to Islam at the Islamic Cultural Centre in 1961, during her first year of study. She subsequently helped to found the Islamic Society at SOAS, becoming its first secretary, and also assisted in the formation of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies.

After graduating from SOAS, Lemu studied for a postgraduate qualification to teach English as a foreign language and while doing so, she met her future husband, Sheikh Ahmed Lemu, who had been studying at another college of the University of London and was involved in the Islamic activities around the institution. Having obtained her Postgraduate Certificate in Education, she moved to Kano in Nigeria in August 1966 to teach at the School for Arabic Studies there, where Sheikh Ahmed Lemu worked as headmaster. They married in April 1968, with Aisha becoming his second wife. She subsequently moved to Sokoto to take up the position of principal of the Government Girls College.

Sheikh Ahmed Lemu was Grand Qadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the State of Niger when it was founded in 1976, and Aisha was principal of the Women’s Teachers College in Minna from then until 1978. The couple founded the Islamic Education Trust (IET), which now operates in several Nigerian states has offices and a library, includes a publisher, primary and secondary school and adult education centre for women. Lemu was a member of the Islamic Studies Panel, set up by the Nigerian Educational Research Council, which was to revise the national Islamic curriculum for different school levels.

In 1985, Lemu founded the Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN) with other Muslim women and was elected as its first national Amirah for four years. Lemu served as a civil servant after this term of office.

She died today, January 5, 2019 at Minna, Nigeria.

May Allah have mercy on her soul and grant her eternal rest in Paradise.

Class of 2009

Here wishes to invite you to a Reunion grand reception organize by the class of 2009, schedule to take place tomorrow Saturday 31/12/2016 by 9:00am at the school hall.

🔹MOTHER
I suffered the most excruciating pain of my life when I was bringing you into this world. I spent sleepless nights when you were little & sick. There were nights when you wouldn't stop crying so I sacrificed my sleep at late nights. I sacrificed my health & beauty so you could grow up healthy & handsome. I bore heart wrenching pain while I was breast feeding you. I never took my meals without feeding you first. Your hunger always came first. I put you first always before my needs & wants to become the person you are today. 🍼
How will you ever pay me back my son❓

🔸SON
When I grow up, I will find a good job & get money for you so you can enjoy the pleasures of this world.

🔹MOTHER
Your father is doing this already & I do not expect this from you too.

🔸SON
I will find a pious lady & marry her so she can take care of you while I am away from home.

🔹MOTHER
It is not compulsory on her to do any service to me & neither do I expect this from her.

🔸SON
Then tell me mother, how can I repay you back?

🔹MOTHER
With tears in her eyes: 'When I die give me your shoulders & carry me with them to bury me. Whenever you perform prayers, please supplicate for me. Be the person I raised you up to be. Remember me & remember that your good deeds will benefit me in the life of the Hereafter. Will you do that for me my son?

🔸SON
With the loudest cry & eyes so full of tears he kneeled down to his mothers feet & sobbed uncontrollably. Allaah سبحانه وتعالى says, 'A man's Paradise lies beneath his mother's feet!"

What about you?

A mother is the Superior soul in One's life. A mother is one of the strongest doors of Paradise, if you wish you may pull it down, or if you wish you may protect it. [Tirmidhi]

May Allaah سبحانه وتعالى bless our mothers & give hidayah in our hearts to obey her, love her & protect her to the core.
اللهم آمين..
