We’ll rejoice at Last like Prophet Ibrahim : Founder, PFA & Friends Foundation assures Nigerians as Muslims celebrate Eid-el-kabir
The Founder, PFA & Friends Foundation, Prince Abdulfatai Adekunle Adewusi says Nigeria’s present predicament is a test from Allah and it will soon end in joy and happiness.
The Founder who stated this in his 2024 Eid-el-Kabir message said just as Allah surprised Prophet Ibrahim on the Mount of Arafat by replacing his son Ismail with a ram, Nigeria will soon be rid of its many challenges and it will be a success story at last.
He therefore urged Nigerians and the good of people Yewa, Ogun State to continue to demonstrate strong faith and engage in more devotional and sacrificial acts saying Allah has promised ease after hardship and succor after tribulations.
“The story behind Eid-el-Kabir festival was one that demonstrated total obedience and submission to Allah. Prophet Ibrahim had already blindfolded his son Ismail and was already moving the knife up and down his neck but Allah replaced Ismail with a ram and his son was unharmed. I am sure another opportunity has presented itself for all of us in Nigeria to use this year’s Eid-el-Kabir to renew our faith in Allah. We should never lose hope in the sincere believe that all will be well with our nation soon. Prophet Ibrahim laughed and rejoiced at the end of his trial , we shall also live to see a better and more prosperous Nigeria which will be devoid of all the present crises. ” PFA Founder prayed.
According to him, people of Yewa and Nigerians should imbibe other significant lessons of Ileya festival like having and demonstrating strong piety and the act of sharing and caring for the needy.
“We should learn to extend love to ourselves all the time. During Eid-el-Kabir, meat and food are shared among ourselves and most importantly among the poor people. This will no doubt promote love, togetherness and peace amongst us. Let us remember that our meat and food do not get to Allah but our piety . We should constantly support the needy and the downtrodden amongst us so as to make life easier and meaningful for them too. ” Prince Adewusi counselled.
While calling on Islamic faithful and indeed all Yewa people and Nigerians to use this festival to pray for an end to insecurity across the Country, the Founder said the situation is more worrisome now than before.
He used the medium to specially felicitate the people of Yewa and Ogun State at large as well as the teeming Muslims in Yewaland on this year’s Ileya festival, and prayed to Allah to accept the sacrifice and the prayers of the entire Islamic faithful.
” Our people in Yewa land are already experiencing new lease of life. I want to urge the residents of Yewa to increase their prayers for our leaders so that more developmental strides and a better life and security will be enjoyed by all. ” He added.
