The Sultan of Sokoto and the President-General of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has appealed to Muslims at home and in Saudi Arabia to pray for the country and its leaders.

The Sultan, in a statement issued by the Secretary-General, JNI, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, urged Nigerian Muslims to fast the day of Arafat, as was recommended by the Prophet (PBUH) and to equally pray ceaselessly to Allah, the Most High for His quickest intervention.

He however implored Nigerian pilgrims to specifically pray for Nigeria and its leaders, while standing at Arafat.

Part of the statement reads: “His Eminence 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 the 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.”
