The President, Lucky Tintan Foundation, Abubakar Isah alias Lucky, has rejoiced with the Muslim Ummah across Kogi State, particularly those in Ankpa, Omala and Olamaboro local governments.
He tasked the Muslim faithful across the Nigeria and Kogi State in particular to always embrace peace tolerance and charity among other virtues which he described as pathway to development.
Abubakar gave the counsel in a statement issued to newsmen on Sunday in Lokoja in commemoration of this year’s moulid in recognition of the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
Abubakar Lucky said there are important virtues the Holy Prophet is known for and all his admirers and followers must strive to emulate him since he has become a template for muslins.
He described Muslim faithful in Ankpa, Omala and Olamaboro local governments as people who have pursed peace with those of other faiths, adding “that this is the what the holy prophet wants”.
As the celebration of the birthday of the Holy prophet is being commemorated, Abubakar through his foundation, charged Muslims faithful to use the occasion to pray for peace in Nigeria, cessation of all forms of agitation and a peaceful general election in 2023.
“I rejoice with the Muslim Ummah across Kogi State, particularly those in Ankpa, Omala and Olamaboro local governments, as they join the rest of the Muslim world over to mark Mawlid Nabiyy, the birthday of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (S.A.W).
“The Prophet’s message was always one of peace, truthfulness, faithfulness and eschewing of all forms of vice,” he said.
According to Abubakar, the celebration affords the Muslims the opportunity to reflect on the prophet’s deeds and pronouncements, as well as the message he brought from Allah.
“I therefore use this auspicious occasion of his birthday celebration to call on all Muslim faithful to align themselves with the Prophet’s teachings which borders on piety, charity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence among others.
“I enjoin the faithful to continue to demonstrate in their lives the good virtues of the Prophet, so as to engender the peace and unity needed for growth and development of the country in general and that of the state in particular.
on behalf of the Lucky Lucky Tintan Foundation, Abubakar hoped that Muslims would replicate in their lives the lessons of tolerance, piety, patience, honesty, justice and good neighborliness as preached and exemplified by Prophet Muhammad
