Imam Urges Muslims to Move Closer to Allah
Alhaji AbdulSalam Omotokese, the Imam of Ejigbo Central Mosque, Ejigbo in Osun, has advised Muslims to move closer to Allah in order to enjoy his protection and mercy.
Omotokese gave the advice during the Friday Juma'at sermon and thanksgiving service in Ejigbo organised for the Osun Speaker’s wife, Alhaja Muibat Salam, who regained her freedom from kidnappers after five days in captivity.
He lauded the Muslims for the joint prayer offered on Oct. 12 for the freedom of the speaker’s wife.
He said that Muslims should have strong belief in Allah only, adding that what happened to the speaker’s wife was a great lesson to them all.
According to him, they should all believe in Allah for their security.
The Imam appreciated Allah for the divine protection of Muibat and for regaining her freedom without being abused by the kidnappers.
He commended Gov. Rauf Aregbesola, his Deputy, Mrs Titilayo Tomori, honourable members, commissioners, advisers, religious leaders and members of the public for their contribution towards the rescue of the speaker's wife.
The cleric prayed for divine security from Allah for the people of Osun and Nigeria as a whole.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the speaker’s wife was kidnapped by unknown gun men on Oct. 9 and was rescued on Oct. 13 security operatives.
