Things are tough, but God wants us to make sacrifices – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has led the annual Ramadan Tafsir (translation of the Holy Qur’an) in the state house. It is his fist, since becoming Nigeria’s president nine months ago.
The President, during the prayers, urged Muslim faithful to demonstrate kindness to one another and support the less privileged in society.
”Yes, things are tough, but Allah has ordained us to make sacrifices, to discipline ourselves, help others, and be kind to ourselves.
”May Almighty God, that gave us this opportunity, strengthen our resolve; help us change our country, and extend our love to our neighbours,” President Tinubu said.
The Nigerian leader also sought Allah’s mercy over Nigeria’s challenges. He said: ”We face challenges of kidnapping, banditry, and others. May Allah show mercy on all of us, the dead, and accept our good deeds.
”May Almighty Allah give us strength and good life to see the month of Ramadan through and to continue in good faith to worship him. I advise all of us to continue to pray for our country.
”It is in our hearts to make sacrifices and share whatever little we have with our brothers and sisters. Be kind and humble enough. The sacrifice that this period teaches us is enough.
”May Almighty Allah grant us the privilege and the strength; not the strength of hunger but the strength of character and attitude to love our country and make Nigeria great. As-Salaam-Alaikum,” the President prayed.
