The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN), the apex regional body for Muslims in the region, has called on the faithful to sustain the spirit of devotion and righteousness beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement to commemorate the Eid-el-Fitr, MUSWEN’s President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo; and Executive Secretary, Prof. Wole Abbas, MUSWEN noted that the conclusion of fasting should not mark the end of the spiritual and moral transformation achieved during the sacred month.
It emphasised that the virtues of discipline, self-denial, generosity and intensified worship practised during Ramadan are intended to be a lifelong guide for every believer.
Reflecting on the current state of the nation, MUSWEN urged Muslims to continue offering special prayers for peace, security, and economic prosperity in Nigeria.
‘As we celebrate this joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitri, let us remember that the God we served during Ramadan is ever alive to reward our deeds throughout the year’, the Muslim group said.
MUSWEN further said that, by praying that Almighty Allah accepts the fasting and prayers of the Ummah and grants the nation lasting stability.
