Founder BASA foundation, Hon Bolanle Sarumi-Aliyu has called on Muslim faithfuls to continue to demonstrate fear of God, promote Unity and show love to others. This she said,was a key ingredient in building a better Nigeria.
Bolanle Sarumi in her Sallah message made available to newsmen noted that, the essence of Eid-El-Kabir was the demonstration of the fear of Allah by Prophet Ibrahim (ASW) and his son, Prophet Ismail (ASW).
‘If all of us can imbibe the fear of Allah, then our society will be better. Our country will develop if leaders display fear of Allah in taking key decisions that will affect the interests of the country/State and lives of the ordinary people,” she said.
She therefore urged fellow Muslim ummahs to pray for the security of the nation. Whilst describing insecurity as the nation’s worst nightmare, she stressed that without security of lives and property, development, progress, and economic prosperity would continue to elude the country.
According to her: “It is sad that insecurity has persisted as the nation’s worst nightmare for so many years. We have never had it this bad. I do not know of any other nation in the world where all shades of criminals kill and abduct citizens daily in peacetime as presently experienced in Nigeria.”
She further urged fellow Muslims to preach peace and imbibe the virtues of Prophet Mohammed whose sacrificial and obedient life is the reason for the celebration.
