As Muslims prepare for the commencement of the forthcoming Ramadan fast, the Chief Imam of FOMWAN Central Mosque, Abuja, Sheikh Hayyatullahi Abdul-Ganiyi, has called on the Muslim Ummah to use the sacred period to strengthen their relationship with Allah and extend kindness to humanity.
Sheikh Hayyatullahi made this appeal during a pre-Ramadan lecture titled “Resilience in Ramadan: Building Discipline and Sustaining Spiritual Growth”. organized by two Islamic organizations, MTTMA, in Abuja.
While highlighting the essence of Ramadan, the Islamic scholar emphasized that the primary objectives of fasting are to worship Allah sincerely, uphold good morals, and cater to the needs of the less privileged.
He stressed that acts of charity, especially feeding the needy, hold immense rewards in Islam, with even greater significance during the holy month of Ramadan.
Sheikh Hayyatullahi, who also serves as the Chairman of Al-Albaab Foundation, further encouraged Muslims to engage deeply with the Holy Qur’an by reciting and reflecting on its teachings throughout the month.
Reiterating the importance of unity and obedience to Islamic leadership, he urged the faithful to begin the Ramadan fast only upon the official announcement by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, the Supreme Islamic Leader in Nigeria.
The lecture served as a timely reminder for Muslims to embrace the spiritual and communal values of Ramadan, preparing their hearts and minds for a month of devotion, self-discipline, and compassion.
