Eid-El-Fitr: Sultan urges Muslims to pray for Nigerian leaders
The Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, has advised Muslims to actively pursue knowledge to strengthen their faith.
In his Eid message in Sokoto on Wednesday, Sultan Abubakar also emphasized the importance of continuous prayers for leaders and the prosperity of the country.
“We should express gratitude to the Almighty Allah for granting us the gift of life and good health, allowing us to observe the 30 days of fasting and celebrate Eid-El-Fitr.
“Today marks a significant day in Islam as Muslims worldwide commemorate the conclusion of Ramadan and the Eid-El-Fitr festivities.
“Moreover, let us perpetuate the spirit of compassion and support for one another, as demonstrated during the month of Ramadan, and extend assistance to those in need,” he appealed.
The Sultan commended the Sokoto State government, under the leadership of Governor Ahmed Aliyu, for its commitment to collaborating with Muslim scholars and fostering unity.
He also praised the government’s ongoing efforts to support the less privileged, civil servants, and ensure the security and progress of Sokoto State.
