As Muslims around the world commence fasting in the month of Ramadan, the Sultan of Sokoto and President General Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has called on Nigerian Muslims to work towards peaceful coexistence with everyone in the country.
The Sultan made the call in Sokoto State, North West Nigeria when he announced the commencement of the 2022 fast in the holy month of Ramadan.
“Let us use this opportunity once more to call on Muslims across the country to double their effort in praying to the Almighty Allah to bring peace and stability to this great country Nigeria. We should redouble and dedicate our effort in worshiping the almighty Allah in this holy month of Ramadan so that we can reap the full benefit of the month which will lead to our salvation and consequently to Aljanna Firdaus, insha Allah.
We call on all Muslims once more to work toward peaceful coexistence with everybody in this great country and pray for our leaders, we should pray for political leaders, religious leaders and all leaders at all level so that the almighty Allah will give them the chance and the wisdom to steer the affairs of our great country Nigeria to the promised land in peace and stability.”
Alhaji Saad urged leaders to make effort to end the heightened insecurity in the country.
“May I use this opportunity once more, to call on our leaders to double their efforts to bring the insecurity in this country to an end as soon as possible. Also, call on our leaders to fear Almighty Allah in the discharge of their duty for the people Almighty Allah placed on their shoulders.
I will like to call on all citizens of this country to continue to live in peace with one another, respect one another so that Nigeria will be much better than it is now.
We thank Almighty Allah for making us part of the creation to witness the end of this Sha’aban and the beginning of Ramadan.”
