Aregbesola charges Muslims on best practices during Ramadan

Osun State Governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has charged Muslims in the country to observe Ramadan with best practices and share love with fellow Muslims and neighbours.

The governor disclosed this in his Ramadan message to Muslims in Osun state and Nigeria on Wednesday. The Ramadan message was signed by the Media Adviser to the Governor, Sola Fasure.

Aregbesola said: "I am most pleased to see the beginning of this year’s Ramadan. Ramadan is that period when Muslims worldwide engage in fasting – a physical and spiritual act of self denial, cleansing, prayer, fellowship and charity."

"As one of the pillars of Islam, Ramadan is also a time of deep consecration to spiritual matters. It is therefore a time of spiritual awakening and commitment to the tenets of Islam."

"Let us be sober and do all things with moderation. Let us remember the poor, the sick, the beleaguered and those in one difficulty or another in our prayers and work of charity."

"As we celebrate this great festival of the religion of peace, may the peace and comfort of Allah SWT rest upon us, our family, community, state and nation."

"This is wishing all Muslims Ramadan Kareem, with love and grace on behalf of the government and the good people of Osun," the Governor said.
