Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs , His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Muslims across the country to pray in their respective homes during the forthcoming Eld-Fitri festival, if that is what the situation requires.
Our correspondent recalls that Muslims in their large number usually troop out to observe the two-Rakah Eld-Fitri prayer in large congregation during the Eld-Fitri festival, but many are wondering what the situation will be due to the coronavirus pandemic. He insisted that people all over the world at large and Nigeria in particular are under intense pressure, but despite the challenges, Muslims still have reasons to thank Allah because every bad situation could be worse.
“As the Prophet once observed, he who does not appreciate people cannot appreciate Allah . The Council, therefore, thanks the entire Muslim ummah for complying with the given advisory on COVID-19. Except in very few and negligible cases, the reports from all over the Federation indicate that Muslims conduct themselves obediently and adhere to the regulations of the Council regarding the serious situation of the moment.
“Meanwhile, as the month of Ramadan is gradually coming to an end and the Eid-ul-fitr is approaching, it is crucial to reiterate that we are living in unusual times when almost everything normal has become abnormal, including social gatherings and large congregational prayers.
