MUSLIMS must abstain from all acts capable of portraying them in a bad light to the world and always display exemplary conduct in accordance with the teachings of Islam.
This was the admonition of a specialist in medical psychology and psychiatry, Dr Abass Mimiko, at the 113th edition of the Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), B-Zone, held at its permanent site of the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway.
Dr Mimiko describe as alarming the rate at which young people get involved in social vices.
He advocated the establishment of youth empowerment platforms by Muslim leaders and appealed to young Muslims to be relevant in the political landscape.
Dr Mimiko stated that the MSSN possessed the strength and structure to make a difference in the country’s democratic process.
“Substance abuse, drop in commitment to collective good and misuse of social media are issues that must engage our attention,” he noted.
The former governorship aspirant in Ondo State pointed out that despite the prevalence of corruption in the country, Muslims must always engage in transparent dealings.
In an address, the Amir of MSSN B-Zone, Malam Qazzeem Odedeji, commended the Federal Government for recognising the benefits in Islamic financing for the growth of the nation.
He urged the government to extend the gesture to Nigerians by considering interest-free loans in all its financial intervention for Nigerians.
“While I commend the Federal Government, through the Minister of Finance, Mr Wale Edun, for recognising the benefits in Islamic financing for the growth of our nation, I want to urge the government to extend the gesture to Nigerians by considering interest-free loans in all the government financial intervention to Nigerians,” Odedeji said.
He called on governments at all levels to prioritise the welfare of the citizens.
“Without doubt, some recent policies of the government such as removal of fuel subsidy, devaluation of the naira, cash scarcity, which is currently being experienced again, have all brought untold hardship on Nigerians.
“We, therefore, urge the federal and state governments to not only implement various palliative schemes without fear or favour but also to, as a matter of urgency, improve the salary of workers to meet the current reality.”
