Mother and Child Health A: Welcome to our listeners for tuning in again to hear this program, “If the Ear Hears.” In our broadcast for today, we are going to be chatting with the well-known Tijjaniya scholar, Sheikh Muhammadu Nasiru Adam, who is imam of the Sheikh Ahamdu Tijjani mosque at K’ofar Mata in Kano State. And we will be talking about administering an immunization program, specifically for the prevention of polio. I’m joined by my colleague Sa’adatu Idris Bello, with whom we will present this program. I began by asking Sheikh Muhammadu Nasiru Adam what kind of assistance the Tijjaniya brotherhood has given to informing the public as to the importance of allowing their children to get vaccinated against polio. B: Wherever there are Tijjani representatives, they provide an explanation to people about allowing their children to get the polio vaccine. The main witness for this, Sa’idu Hassan Sisi, came to us here in Kano today to confirm to everyone that their own children, that is the children of Sayyadi Aliyu Sisi and of Shehu Ibrahim and his close associates, had gotten this polio vaccine in Senegal. On this account, wherever we are, we call on our Tijjaniya brothers and sisters and all other Muslims, to again let the children receive this polio vaccine, with the express purpose that the children will grow up in full health and goodness, as the Arabic saying goes, “Al-aqnu as-salim fil -jism as-salim” [Arabic], that is, coaxing caution is part of a healthy body. C: Malam, you know that previously there was persistent rumor that there was an ingredient which prevented childbirth in this vaccination shot. So, what kind of public outreach did you do to say that this was not true? B: We here in Kano State, the Kano State government put together a joint committee that brought together medical experts in Kano State and the top scholars in Kano State, particularly Tijjaniyya scholars – Shehu Malam Isma’ila Khalifa was among them. When they returned to their countries, they went out and now they came to assure us that there is not a grain of truth to this chatter that is being circulated. This polio vaccine is used in order to prevent a contagious disorder. The disorder itself is not in the vaccine. Therefore, I am advising people to relax and keep on allowing their children to get this polio vaccine. A: Is it true that one could put an ingredient into this vaccine that could prevent a person from giving birth? B: This business of giving birth, we in Islam say that God blesses whom he will. And so, God has given a gift, the giving birth to little girls as he wishes it. He has given the gift of giving birth to a son to a man and his wife as he wishes it. And whoever God wants, he can make sterile. Now, whatever medicine that one could take to prevent childbirth, it wouldn’t prevent childbirth except if God does not want a birth. A second explanation: there is an old method that was used in the time of the associates of God’s messenger. This method that was used was that a man courts his wife, and when he courts his wife, he has an orgasm whereby he empties his sperm outside of her vagina. God’s messenger said that if you do this, and if God wants to produce his creation, then one will give birth. Because of this, in law, if a man approaches his wife and uses this method, then says the child is not his, it will not be allowed. So you see, this confirms to us that the only medicine that will prevent childbirth is what God allows. C: Then, Malam, all the talk that people have made that this vaccine would prevent them from having children, does it not have any basis in Islam? B: This is an outstanding thing in Islam. And in practice you say, Sayyadi Hassan Sisi told us that there was a certain woman who was given a shot to prevent her from giving birth, but the woman became pregnant, and gave birth to four children, and they all survived! And we are seeing a lot of people here who have taken birth control pills, and when their children … are … when they grow up to bear children, they are born with the pills in their hands: they retain the medicine. Therefore, what I hope is that we Muslims will not fall behind. We must go with the times, but we should go with the times with our eyes open. Lest, God bring us mercy, we stand up and push away, then the journey will be far and they will overtake us. Let’s not say we would overtake these people. That is not resourceful. If we remember when electricity was installed, we had the same controversy. When water pumps were introduced, we had the same problem; same when Western education was started, a lot of people resisted it. This is not enlightened Muslim custom. Every new thing that comes along, you must open your eyes to it and open your insight to it. You must open the Kor’an and open the hadiths to it. There’s nothing that you can’t find in them. As God says, “Ma-farrak’ana fil kitabi min shai’in” [Arabic], there is nothing that is not in the Kor’an. Therefore, I hope all these things that would bring us backwards, we Muslims would consider avoiding them. The religion of Islam is not a backward religion; it is a progressive religion. A: Dear listeners, with that we have come to the end of the program, “If the Ear Hears,” for this week. Please continue to listen to us next week. With thanks to my co-worker Sa’adatu Idris Bello, this is your host, Muhammadu Salisu Rab’iu, saying happy listening. With this, we bring to an end everything that we will bring you this week. On behalf of all those whose voices you heard, I am Sani Umar, bidding peace and full health to all of you. |

Polio is an extremely contageous disease that usually hits children. The polio vaccine has been out since 1955. Although it has been eradicated in developed countries, remaining pockets have been reported in some countries among which are Nigeria and Niger in West Africa. There were speculations about the safety of the vaccine because some Nigerian Muslim clerics made a statement casting doubt on the government's motives for vaccination back in 2003. They believed the vaccine could cause sterility and urged Muslims to resist immunization, thereby hindering UNICEF and WHO's effort to eradicate the disease. Top Muslim doctors from the predominently Muslim northern region of Nigeria were involved in campaigns to reassure people about the quality of the vaccine. The Arabic citations reinforce the religious influence of the speaker and his credibility. |

<eng-response>In this interview, a distinguished religious cleric explains why the Tijjanyya sect is joining the immunization campaign to eradicate polio. He teaches the importance of health, depicting reproduction as divine. He objects to the attitude prevailing among some teachers who confuse spiritual and scientific progress, instead explaining reproduction from a religious point of view that excludes the possible sterility caused by the polio vaccine. In an eloquent way, with references to the Koran and the results of consultations with other enlightened Muslims, he draws attention to the necessity of following scientific progress along side with a good knowledge of the Scriptures for a healthier life.</eng-response>

<eng-fdbk>Correct! The speaker supports his arguments with facts: the example of woman giving birth after having a birth control shot, or babies being born with pills in their hands among others. He refers to the teachings of the Koran with citations to inspire confidence.</eng-fdbk>

<eng-response>In this interview, a religious leader argues against the resistance to a polio immunization campaign that could help insure the well being of a Muslim society by freeing it of polio. He supports his arguments on the safety of the vaccine, believed to be used to sterilize Muslims, by using the experience of other Muslims. In an educational manner, he tries to convince fellow Muslims to refer to the Koran, which he depicts as a source of compiled information that covers all aspects of life. Resistance to the eradication effort is not beneficial to people and contrary to the teaching of the Koran because the religion itself is not against scientific progress, he said.</eng-response>

<eng-fdbk>Incorrect! Please think about the beginning of the interview. What do you think about the progress of the immunization campaign? Is it at a standstill because most Muslims do not trust the vaccine?</eng-fdbk>

<eng-response>The focus of this interview is the differences of opinion on vaccines in the Muslim community. A coalition of doctors and scholars is trying to convince skeptics about the importance of promoting health education in order to fight diseases like polio. A respected cleric denounces the lack of interest in science and technology on the part of the majority of Muslims. He encourages all believers to look at progress from a religious point of view, and see the Koran as the only answer to any question they might have.</eng-response>
