Biodun Esan, Ilorin
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has felicitated with the Muslim community on Eid-ul-Fitri 1446 AH, praying that Allah give every fasting believer the full rewards of their spiritual exertion in the month.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, in Ilorin the Governor joined the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari and the entire Muslim community to thank Allah on the completion of Ramadan and the dawn of Shawwal, the 10th month, which ushers in the festivity.
“As we bid bye to the honored month of Ramadan, I call on our brethren not to relent in all aspects of ibaadah (worship), in giving alms to the poor, or in refraining from actions and inactions that lessen our standing as believers or as good members of the human community.
“As we proceed for the Eid prayers in the coming hours and going forward, let us embrace moderation in all things, foster human brotherhood, exchange gifts with one another, especially the poor, and recommit ourselves to building a community we are proud to be associated with.
“We ask Allaah to accept our supplications and prayers, purify our deeds, bless our families, state, and country, and give us the grace to dutifully observe many Ramadan fasts in the future,” the Governor said.
