The Grand Chief Imam of Remo, Alhaji Shehu AbdulQuadri Jinadu, Dugbe 11 has charge Muslims to maintain piety beyond Ramadan by ensuring that all their supplications and prayers during the Ramadan fasting were answered.
He said it was heartwarming and pleasing to Allah for them to commence the mandatory fasting which is one of the pillars of Islam, but believed it was through Allah’s Grace that they were able to complete it. He therefore charged them to continue the ideal lifestyle and steer clear of those things Allah has not approved of.
According to the Grand Imam, “We have all gone through 30 days of fasting which entailed a level of self-restraining, high degree of piety such as abstinence, from smoking or drinking and other vices. During the period, we were mindful of our behaviour while the fasting lasted, it will be wrong to go back to those deplorable and afflictive lifestyles after Ramadan. It is my fervent belief that God, who successfully took us through the most benevolent month, hale and hearty will not abandon us”.
The Cleric who urged followers to imbibe the habit of praying for their leaders in order to do what is right and beneficial to the led and land, used the occasion to pray for elected officers officers of government, the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, President of the country, President Muhammad Buhari. He prayed for longevity, wisdom and well-being of the traditional rulers, particularly, Akarigbo of Remo and Chairman, Ogun State Council of Obas, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Ajayi
He solicited for Allah to intercede for late Oba Mufutau, Aminisan of Oke for what he described as outstanding contributions to Islam in Remo and particularly the Eid ground.
In his contribution, the Chief Imam of Soyindo, AbdulAfeez Shasile charged Muslims to remain committed to their vows and prayers during the month of Ramadan, because according to him, whoever remained steadfast would be blessed on earth and here after.
