A global Islamic organisation, Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT), has stressed the importance of participating in a joint Tahajjud (vigil).
NASFAT’s Chief Missioner, Imam Maroofdeen Abdul-Azeez Onike, described Tahajjud as a divine solution to life’s challenges and an opportunity to connect with Allah.
He stated this at a joint Tahajjud organised by the group for its members in Lagos, Ogun, and Cotonou on Friday.
He added, “Joint Tahajjud is unique in that it provides an opportunity for members to connect spiritually with their creator. It is also a platform where believers seek divine solutions to life’s challenges. I therefore encourage participants to take full advantage of the night of prayers.”
The special prayer session, which was held at the Lagos State Secretariat Mosque, Alausa-Ikeja, Lagos, with the theme “Surely, I am very near” (Qur’an 2:186), also featured a soul-stirring lecture by the distinguished guest lecturer, Fadilat As-Shaykh Salman Abdul-Majeed Alawiye Alawaye.
The night began with a powerful opening Du’a by Imam Barrister Uthman Jaji, the Zonal Missioner of Lagos Zone 1, setting a highly spiritual tone for the night.
This was followed by special prayers led by Imam AbdulLateef Bello, Deputy Chief Missioner of NASFAT, ensuring that the entire night was filled with blessings and divine supplication.
Earlier, Chairman of the Joint Tahajjud Planning Committee, Alhaji Engr. Mustapha Alabi, assured members and guests of smooth logistics and security while noting that “NASFAT remains dedicated to fostering spiritual growth, unity, and community development through activities like the joint Tahajjud. The society continues to promote a blend of spirituality and service to humanity, in line with its core mission.”
