OLUFUNMILAYO IREDE OGININ WISHES MUSLIMS RAMADAN MUBARAK.

"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous" -- Surat Al-Baqarah – Quran Chapter 2:183

On the occasion of the commencement of Ramadan Fast today, I Hon. Olufunmilayo Irede Oginin wishes all Muslims in Yewa South, Ogun State, Nigeria and across the globe, a fruitful Ramadan.

Ramadan, as we all know, is a period within the Islamic calendar where Muslims all over the world, observe Fasting, in accordance with the dictates of the Holy Qur’an and the Islamic faith. This period is characterized by alms-giving and significant supplication to Almighty Allah.

Unfortunately, this year’s Ramadan, just like last year’s, is being marked at a time the world is facing its biggest public health crisis occasioned by the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus, said to be the biggest existential threat to the human race. Owing to this, Muslims are having to make significant adjustments to the traditional ways of marking the Ramadan Fast some of which are at the heart of Ramadan festivities.

 

Hon. Oginin also calls on Muslims living in Nigeria to use this special occasion to pray for our leaders, government and Nation, to overcome all the ills plaguing our society and put us on the path of sustained growth and prosperity. 

May the month of Ramadan, which is the most blessed month in the year, be that month that the world finds complete solace in this period of global health crisis.

Once again, RAMADAN MUBARAK and may Almighty Allah Accept our Fast.

Assalamu alaikum

Hon. Olufunmilayo Irede Oginin
