The Federal Capital Territory (FCT)Minister, Nyesom Wike, has called on Muslims in the country to use the Ramadan fasting period to offer prayers to Allah (SWT) for the peaceful co-existence of the country while also giving their minds and hearts to teachings by Islamic scholars during the period.
Wike, in a statement on Saturday, by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, said it was important for Muslims, especially those in the FCT, to assist the country with prayers during this Ramadan period.
He said; “Fasting, as one of the five pillars of Islam, should not be just a period for abstaining from food and drink, the period should also be used to pray fervently for the country.
“It is my plea to our Muslim brothers and sisters to open their hearts and minds to the tasfir of the Holy Month of Ramadan and allow themselves to be guided by them.”
The minister congratulated the Muslim faithful for seeing the beginning of the fasting period and prayed that they will all see the end.
“I wish all Muslim faithful a Ramadan filled with joy, and togetherness. May your ibadah be acceptable to Allah (SubhanahuwaTa’ala).This holy month will bring to us peace, prosperity, and endless blessing,’’ he said.
