Islamic scholars have called on Nigerians to pray fervently to overcome the present hardship in the country.
They said the antidote to the current hunger, insecurity and economic downturn is to return to Allah and repent genuinely.
They spoke at the 2024 Mawlid Nabiyy celebration of the Lagos State chapter of the Aljamahatul Qadiriyyah Islamic Movement.
The event also featured prayers for the nation with various portions of the Glorious Qur’an recited to seek guidance for Nigerian leaders and the best for the country.

Alhaja Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja General of Lagos State and daughter of President Bola Tinubu, who was turbaned Iya Adinni of Qadiriya in Nigeria and Africa called on Nigerians to be patient over the economic hardship in the land.
She urged the people to keep hope alive, saying the economic downturn is a global phenomenon that is not limited to Nigeria.
The Chief Missioner and Founder of Al-Abrar Foundation, Sheikh Adam Muhammad Raji Adebayo, called on Muslims to return to Allah.
“The antidote to this hardship is for us to go back to our creator. We should talk to the Almighty Allah because whatever is happening is in His decree. So, if truly we believe in destiny, we should all go back to our creator, pray to Him and seek His assistance.
“Importantly, we should seek forgiveness from Allah because all of us have committed sins one way or the other,” he said.
