Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa has urged Muslims in Nigeria to observe major Islamic tenets especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
Speaker Obasa gave the counsel on Tuesday, April 13th, 2021 via his Facebook page as Muslims across the world began the month-long religious exercise.
He said, “Ramadan comes with the privilege of piety, purity, peace and emphasis on love for fellow beings.”
“To my brothers and sisters in Islam and to Muslim faithful in Nigeria, let us all see the current Ramadan as a period to ensure peace in the country while those who have share with those who need as these are special commandments from Allah.
“I pray for peace, grace and renewal for every Muslim in this Holy month, Amin. RamadanMubarak”
Saudi Arabia had earlier announced, through its moon sighting committee, that the Ramadan would commence on Tuesday, April 13, while Taraweeh will begin on April 12 after Isha prayers.
