As Nigerian Muslims commences another round of fasting for the year, Hon. Lawi AT Ahmed has sent his greetings and best wishes to adherents of the faith.
In his message to the Muslims on the beginning of the Ramadan, the lawmaker said fasting is not just merely meant to stay hungry or thirsty, but an opportunity to strive for inner purification and self-accountability.
“It is meant to inculcate righteousness and discipline,” he was quoted in a statement by his Media Aide, Comrade Danfulani Lukman.
Hon. Lawi enjoined fasting Muslims to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and gratitude.
He noted that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to spend very generously on the poor and the needy during this period and urged Muslims in Kogi state and all over the country to copy the good example.
He called on Muslims and all Nigerians to always remember men and women who are less fortunate than themselves and to help the government in confronting the challenges facing the state.
The lawmaker prayed Allah to grant all Muslims the strength to successfully complete the fasting period in good health and prosperity.
