Eid el-Fitr: MURIC urges Nigerians on forgiveness, patience

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged Nigerians to seek forgiveness from Allah, change their ways, eschew greed and appreciate what Allah has done for them.

MURIC’s Executive Director, Prof Ishaq Akintola, gave the advice on Thursday in his Eid el-Fitr message commemorating the end of the 2024 Ramadan fast.

He also urged Nigerians to see the current economic hardship as a trial from Allah for which they needed patience in order to overcome it and receive divine blessing.

SPONSOR AD

He said, “We congratulate the Nigerian ummah (Muslim community) on the successful completion of the 2024 (1445 AH) Ramadan season. In particular, we felicitate with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, as well as the Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III.

“It is our wish to ponder over the present economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians. In the first place, we submit that Nigeria has been blessed in all ramifications, including a wonderful and extended landscape, rich and fertile land, unlimited mineral resources, as well as human capital wealth. Qur’an 20:118-119 and 16:112 allude to these blessings.

“We, therefore, urge Nigerians to see the current hardship as a direct impact of our bad past and a trial which we should patiently contend with and seek the forgiveness of Allah in order to overcome the hardship and receive divine blessings.

“Consequently, MURIC calls on Nigerians to desist from trading blames, to cultivate a positive attitude towards their country, to seek forgiveness from their Supreme Creator, turn a new leaf and face the future with patience and hardwork.”
