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.
