Muslims have been charged to maintain the teachings they received
during the Ramadan season and work in line with Almighty Allah’s
injunctions.
The charge was made by the Edo state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole
in his Id-el-Fitr message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Peter
Okhiria on Tuesday.
The governor said the preaching of love, perseverance, self-denial,
almsgiving and others learnt during the holy month of Ramadan should be
sustained and made a daily lifestyle.
His words, “While I congratulate the Muslim faithful for the
successful completion of the Ramadan, I urge them to sustain the spirit
of godliness, charity, perseverance and spiritual intercession for the
nation which were some of the lessons learnt during the Holy Month.
“Having observed strictly the injunctions of Almighty Allah through
fasting and prayers and by offering Zakat, the lessons learnt during the
Holy month should not be lost, rather they should be part of the daily
lives of the true Muslim in his dealings with fellow Muslims and people
of other faith.
“The spiritual intercession offered by the faithful during Ramadan
for peace, progress and stability in Edo State and the nation should be
sustained, especially as the state goes into another phase of its
political life.
“I appeal to the faithful to continue to live in peace and harmony
with all; to continue to lead by example in supplications to Allah for
continued progress and development of our dear state.
“I wish the faithful joyous celebrations and showers of Allah’s blessings. Barka da sallah.”
