HAPPY MAULUD NABBIY CELEBRATION!
Today we celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), one whose reverence is at the core of our Ima’an. We should remember that celebrating Mawlid an-Nabi is an act of expressing our love and happiness at the birth of Allah’s most exalted Prophet.
This year has been unique, with unprecedented happenings all over the world. The terrific effect of COVID-19 on humanity further showed us why we need to move closer to Allah, become more prayerful, shun sin and live a life worthy of emulation.
As a country, Nigeria also faced its own challenge with continuous cases of Police brutality and fatality leading to the #EndSARS protests across the nation which lasted for almost two weeks. It was a phase like never before in our history.
These incidences and their aftermaths call for our reflection as humans, and the need to show kindness to fellow men cannot be understated at this point, as both incidences this year has led to loss of lives and source of living for some of our people.
As we identify with this auspicious Mawlid al-Nabi occasion, let us exemplify the morals, virtues and teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in our daily life.
Wishing all Muslim Ummah in Ìbàdàn North and the Entire World a Happy Maulud Nabbiy Celebration.
Prince Akínrẹ̀mí Jagaban.
