The Former Member of Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon Kolade Olagunju has urged Muslims to embrace the lessons emanated from Hijrah.
Hon Olagunju in his Hijrah message to Muslim umah and made available to journalists thanked Allah for the privilege given to witness another Muslim lunar calendar year.
Hon Olagunju emphasized the need for Muslims to make judicious use of the lessons orchestrated from Hijrah for the advancement of the country.
“Hijrah is about spreading the message of love, peace and harmony. The message of Islam that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) taught his followers is that of a religion that is full of love, mercy and compassion and not a faith that is full of hatred, violence and destruction”.
“As we welcome the New Islamic Year, may our days be filled with love, forgiveness, and spiritual enlightenment. May the Holy Hijrah year renew our faith, strengthen our devotion, and bring us closer to Allah”. Olagunju said.
Hon kolade Olagunju also enjoined Muslims to use the occasion to remember the country and most especially Oyo state in their respective prayers.
