Let's seek for Allah's intervention, Sultan tells Nigerians



By Our Correspondent





The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar has called on Nigerians to seek Allah's intervention and an end to the myriad of challenges bedeviling the country.


In a statement on Thursday issued by Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, Secretary – General of JNI, the Islamic organisation said with 2023 general elections fast approaching, "we need to also seek Allah’s apt intervention for stability, security, peace and development of Nigeria."


According to the JNI," considering that two events are coinciding on a Friday i.e. tomorrow and the need to remind Muslims to fast the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah (Arafat), cannot be overemphasized, 

just as it is mandated by the Prophet (SAW) and having fallen on such a special day – Friday, being the best day of the week, wherein Jumu’ah Prayer is observed and prayers are answered in a specific Sa’a (hour) and Arafat– the best day of the year, wherein standing for it, is observed by pilgrims, and Allah, the Most benevolent forgives and answers all supplications on the Arafat day gracefully "


"Thus, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, the Sultan of Sokoto and the President-General, JNI, urges Nigerian Muslims to fast the day, as was recommended by the Prophet (PBUH) and to equally pray ceaselessly to Allah, the Most High for His quickest intervention."


"Nigerian pilgrims are also implored to specifically pray for Nigeria and its leaders, while standing for the Arafat. The Sultan calls on the Nigerian Muslims to please in the name of Allah fervently supplicate to Allah for His intervention and an end to the myriad challenges bedeviling the country."


 "It is obvious and very scary if we don’t humble ourselves to the Almighty Allah, an end to these orgies seems not insight if happenings in the country are anything to underscore. He implores us all to dedicate special prayers against all the menaces and the hydra-headed calamities (of insecurity, poverty, high cost of living and corruption) occurring in Nigeria. Similarly, with 2023 general elections fast approaching, we need to also seek Allah’s apt intervention for stability, security, peace and development of Nigeria."


" Indisputably, as people of faith we MUST submit ourselves to Allah, especially that all efforts geared towards restoration of peace and order seems to defy solutions. We however reiterate that the need for fervent prayer for peaceful and smooth political transition, and an end to the varied socio-economic challenges is ardently necessary," the JNI said.
