As the annual Ramadan fast began on Monday, the Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Jalal Arabi, has urged muslim faithfuls to persevere despite the gnashing hardship in the country.
According to him, part of a Muslim’s faith is the ability to recognize Allah’s wisdom, woven into every aspect of life.
The NAHCON boss stated this in his Ramadan message on Monday, adding that the Holy month of Ramadan dawns upon us.
“I, on behalf of Board members, management and staff of NAHCON, extend heartfelt Ramadan Mubarak greetings to our fellow Nigerian Muslims. In this sacred time of reflection and devotion, we, in the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria wish to emphasize the profound significance of perseverance and faith in the face of challenges.
“One or two challenges may exist within the society, but part of a Muslim’s faith is recognizing that Allah’s wisdom is woven into every aspect of life, including moments of hunger and difficulty, juxtaposed with patience, sharing and empathy.
“A month is before us when prayers need to be intensified for divine intervention in all facets of our existence. As we embark on this spiritual exercise, let us collectively draw inspiration from our faith in Allah, finding strength to remain resilient in the face of trials.
“We encourage all Nigerian Muslims to embrace the spirit of Ramadan wholeheartedly, understanding that challenges are opportunities for growth and spiritual development. May this month be a source of blessings, peace, and renewed determination for everyone.”
