The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN), the apex regional body for Muslims in the South West, has called on believers to uphold the spirit of devotion and righteousness beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement jointly signed by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, President and Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary, to commemorate the Eid-el-Fitri celebrations, MUSWEN noted that the conclusion of the fast should not mark the end of the spiritual and moral transformation achieved during the holy month.
He emphasized that the virtues of discipline, self-sacrifice, generosity and intensification of worship practiced during Ramadan are intended to be a permanent guide for every believer.
Reflecting on the current state of the nation, MUSWEN urged Muslims to continue offering special prayers for peace, security and economic prosperity in Nigeria.
“As we celebrate this joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitri, let us remember that the God we served during Ramadan is always alive to reward our deeds throughout the year,” the Muslim group said.
MUSWEN concluded by praying that Almighty Allah accepts the fasting and prayers of the Ummah and grants the nation lasting stability.
