As Muslims all over the world, celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival, immediate Past Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki has admonished all to cultivate the fear of Allah.
Saraki in his Sallah message released in Ilorin, Kwara State capital and signed by his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, the former Senate President noted that fear of God is key ingredient in building a better Nigeria.
There to the essence of Eid-El-Kabir is the demonstration of the fear of Allah by Prophet Ibrahim (ASW) and his son, Prophet Ismail (ASW). If all of us can imbibe the fear of Allah, then our society will be better. Our country will develop if leaders display fear of Allah in taking key decisions that will affect the interests of the country and the lives of the ordinary people.
“Only the fear of God will compel leaders to always take decisions that will engender unity, peace, justice, equity and development in the country. Also, if ordinary people display the fear of God, we will all obey the laws and justifiably insist on the government initiating the right policies at all times.
“Therefore, my Muslim brothers and sisters should focus their prayers during this festival period on how Allah can help us to entrench fear of God in our society and in us as individuals, families, governments, corporate bodies and institutions. This is all we need to restore peace, prosperity, development and build a more efficient country that can serve the interest of all and sundry,” Saraki stated.
He further prayed for God’s protection and success for all members of the security agencies on the frontline fighting against insurgents and other criminals. “May Allah heal our land and give us victory over all threats to the territorial integrity of our country. Eid Mubarak.”
