Nigerians have received a plea from Dr. Rafee Busayree Al-Ijebuwi, the Chief Imam and Grand-Mufti of Al-Huda Mosque Byazhin, Kubwa, Abuja, urging them to refrain from cursing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other leaders amidst the nation’s socio-economic challenges.
During his Eid-el-Fitri sermon, ‘No fleeing from Allah but refuge with Him,’ following the conclusion of the 2024 Ramadan fasting, Dr. Al-Ijebuwi emphasized the need for patience and reliance on Allah amidst the hardships faced during this period.
He acknowledged the difficulty citizens faced and the impatience with the government due to ongoing reforms initiated by President Tinubu. Dr. Al-Ijebuwi reminded listeners that seeking refuge in Allah and praying for guidance for President Tinubu and his cabinet members should be prioritized over cursing and taunting leaders.
Quoting an incident involving Prophet Muhammad, Dr. Al-Ijebuwi emphasized the importance of refraining from assisting Satan by fueling anger and obstinacy through curses.
Additionally, he encouraged Muslims to observe the recommended six days of fasting during the lunar month of Shawwal following Ramadan, citing Prophet Muhammad’s promise of abundant rewards for those who fast during this period.
Furthermore, the cleric advocated for the promotion of legitimate marriages among males and females of marriageable ages within the Muslim community.
