In a startling revelation, the Chief Missioner of Jaqmal Muslim Society of Nigeria, Fadilatu Sheikh Wasiu Atayese, candidly admitted that every Islamic cleric is not free from the realities of fornication.
The declaration was made during a public lecture, the video of which has since gone viral, causing ripples within the religious community.
During the lecture, Jaqmal emphasized the ubiquitous nature of this human experience among Islamic clerics, asserting that none can boldly claim innocence.
“No alfa can say it openly that he has never committed this sin,” Jaqmal stated, shedding light on a topic seldom discussed openly within religious circles.

Sheikh Atayese, stressing his unwavering commitment to abstaining from alcohol, took a solemn oath on the holy Qur’an, affirming his abstinence from alcohol since birth.
However, he made a strikingly different admission regarding fornication, acknowledging the imperfections that come with human existence.
“I can never debunk the fact that I have never fornicated. And there is no alfa who can swear on the holy Qur’an that he has never committed this sin,” he boldly declared during the lecture. The revelation added a layer of vulnerability to the revered Islamic scholar’s public image.
In an intriguing twist, Sheikh Wasiu Atayese revealed that any attempt to conceal such imperfections would be futile, as those he had dated or their acquaintances could easily expose him.
This candid acknowledgment of personal flaws opened a window into the challenges faced by individuals in positions of spiritual authority.
The viral nature of the video has ignited a wave of reactions within the Islamic scholarly community. While some express shock and disappointment, others commend the courage it takes to openly discuss such sensitive matters.
The revelation has prompted a broader conversation on the expectations and realities of spiritual leaders, emphasizing the human aspect behind their revered roles.
As Jaqmal Muslim Society grapples with the aftermath of this revelation, the public discourse on the imperfections of Islamic clerics gains momentum, challenging preconceived notions and fostering a more nuanced understanding of the individuals behind the religious titles.
