Muslims have been called upon to follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in their day-to-day activities with a view to attaining paradise.

Sheikh Muhyideen Muhammad made the call in his lecture titled ‘The Prophet of Islam as a Role Model’ at the 1st Mauludun-Nabiyyi special lecture and prayers ‎for the Ummah and nation in Kaduna.

Sheikh Muhyideen who lamented that prices of goods in the market are expensive because there is no fear of God, described the prophet as ‎a truthful person.

He said, "If we want our ‎society to excel, we have to emulate the foot path of the prophet by saying the truth at all times because one day we will be no more and our creator will ask us what we did in the world."

He called on Muslims especially traders to as a matter of urgency ‎have the fear of God adding that, they should not cheat one another.

On his part, Sheikh Mustapha Abdulkareem in his lecture titled ‘Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as a source of leadership’ said the prophet should be the only source of leadership to all Muslims.

He said, "Our leaders of today need to emulate the lifestyle and teachings of the prophet for a successful tenure because leadership is a great task put upon a person, unfortunately, our leaders are not aware of the burden put on them by the positions that hold."

He called on Muslims to continue to pray for leaders saying "That is the only way the country can progress and come out of hardship."
