Use Eid-el-Kabir Period To Pray For The End Of Insecurity -- NBAIS REGISTRAR
BY SANI ALIYU, Zari
The Registrar National Board For Arabic And Islamic Studies (NBAIS) Professor Yahuza Sulaiman Imam has urged Nigerians to use the Eid-el-Kabir period in praying for the end of the spate of insecurity and for economic growth of the country.
He also stressed the need to consolidate on the efforts of government towards peace building and the fight against criminal activities in the country.
Imam said, Nigeria is certainly engulfed in series of challenges, ranging from banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling, armed robbery, terrorism, political thuggery and gangsterism among others, which as good citizens, we must pray to overcome them.
“As God spares our lives to witness this sacred period of Eid-el-Kabir, it is neither by our power, nor by our might, but by his grace. Therefore, we must appreciate his unique and immeasurable bounties upon us".
According to him, Sallah should be upheld as a reminder to Muslim faithfuls to pay visits to relations, friends, and loved ones. The period should also be used to mend broken relationships apart from establishing new ones.
He called on the people to be security conscious and to report to appropriate authority on sighting any suspicious movement.
While appealing to all Nigerians, regardless of religion, tribe, ethnic and political differences, to collectively and individually pray for peace to reign across the country.
Prof. Yahuza Sulaiman Imam also advised those clamouring for the disintegration of Nigeria to sheathe their swords and champion the course of unity, brotherliness and national cohesion for the benefit of the country in general.
