The Sultan of Sokoto and President of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has charged the Muslim Ummah to live exemplary lives as legacies that will outlive them.
He gave the charge during the official launching of Hajiya Inna Wakili Adamu Islamic Foundation (HIWAIF) and the posthumous public presentation of the book: ‘Al Muqaddama Fi Ilmid Tajweed’, held at the National Mosque, Abuja.
Hajiya Inna, who died in 2018, was the wife of Ambassador Hassan Adamu, Wakilin Adamawa and Nigeria’s former ambassador to the United States.
The Sultan said Hajiya Inna lived a life worthy of emulation as she made noticeable impacts in the lives of the less privileged and the downtrodden.
He also described the deceased as an extraordinary humanitarian volunteer and a community servant who dedicated her life to humanity.
Also, a member of the media and publicity committee of the event, Engr Saidu Njiddah, said the foundation was established to promote Islamic education, provide scholarships for talented but less privileged youngsters and support poor families with basic needs, among others.
The book ‘Al Muqaddama Fi Ilmid Tajweed’ was conceived and authored by Hajiya Inna Wakili and it focuses on Tajweed, one of the most important subjects in the study of the Qur’an and practice of Islam.
