The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria has called on the faithful to sustain the spirit of devotion and righteousness beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
This is contained in a press statement, jointly signed by the organization’s President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo and its Executive Secretary, Prof. Wole Abbas, on Thursday.
In the special message used to commemorate the Eid-el-Fitri celebrations, MUSWEN noted that the conclusion of fasting should not mark the end of the spiritual and moral transformation achieved during the sacred month.
It emphasized that the virtues of discipline, self-denial, generosity and intensified worship practiced during Ramadan are intended to be a lifelong guide for every believer.
