The Chief Imam of Benin, Sheik Abdulfatai Enabulele, has charged the Muslim faithful to sustain the lessons of Ramadan through the showing of love to the people as well as striving not to return to their old ways.
Sheik Enabulele said this on Wednesday in his sermon shortly after the Eid-el-fitr prayer in Benin City.
He described the Ramadan fast as an opportunity to go close to Almighty Allah and earn rewards for a period of 30 days.
“My message to the Muslims is that having fast for one full month, let us not go back to our evil ways but continue to duel on our good deeds and show love, kindness and compassion as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad.
“If people, especially those in authority behave well by not stealing the money meant to develop the country, encouraging banditry, kidnapping and terrorism, we would have peace and fewer problems in the country.
Enabulele appealed to all Nigerians especially the Muslims to know that there is a day of accountability when everyone will stand before to account for his or her stewardship on earth.
“So, whatever the position you find yourself self today, let us try and better people’s lives because there are many people who don’t have good to eat.
“As you celebrate Sallah, cook and distribute to your neighbours when Muslims or Christians. Let us continue to imbibe the spirit of Ramadan.”
