Member Representing Oluyole Federal Constituency and Chairperson, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has urged Nigerians to emulate Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him), by imbibing the spirit of love, peace, kindness, and sacrifice during Sallah and afterwards.
Akande-Sadipe further called on Muslims to pray for peace, unity, prosperity, and economic recovery of the country, Nigeria. This was contained in her message to Muslims signed by her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Olamilekan Olusada.
She noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the pace of development in the country, but reminded them that Allah puts us in hard times so that we can appreciate his blessings afterward. “Let’s put our trust on him and pray for courage and solutions”.
“Only Allah knows what is best for us. So, don’t lose hope in our troubled times, instead, let us remind ourselves that Allah always has the best plan for all of us”.
Quoting the Holy Quran, she said, “Allah’s promise in the Qur’an {Indeed with the difficulty there is an ease. Indeed, with the difficulty there is an ease.} (Al-Inshirah 5-6)”
“Difficult times are decisive and differentiating. They show those who are truthful and those who are not. May the year ahead be fruitful for you and your home or family”, she concluded.
