The Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) has urged Muslims to pray for peace in troubled regions and unity within communities.

NASFAT President, Ayodeji Abdulrauf Abdulwahid, gave the charge at the headquarters of the organisation in Aseese, Ogun State, where hundreds of worshippers gathered for the yearly Laylatul Qadr.

Laylatul Qadr, regarded in Islam as the Night of Power, is believed to be better than a thousand months and is observed during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Ayodeji, who described the night as a moment for reflection, forgiveness and renewed faith, said: “Laylatul Qadr is a night of immense spiritual significance. It is a night of mercy, forgiveness, destiny and divine elevation. It is also the night when the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for mankind.”

He noted that the sacred night provides an opportunity for Muslims to deepen their relationship with God, seek forgiveness and renew commitment to righteous living.

Ayodeji, however, said that the gathering also comes at a time when the world is facing several challenges, including conflicts, economic hardship and humanitarian crises.

According to him, wars and political tensions across different regions have displaced millions of people, leaving many families struggling with poverty and uncertainty.

“These global challenges remind us of our shared humanity and our collective responsibility as members of one Ummah. When one part suffers, the rest must feel the pain,” he said.

The NASFAT President, therefore, called on Muslims to use the spiritual atmosphere of Laylatul Qadr to pray for peace in conflict zones, relief for the oppressed and healing for those suffering from illness and hardship.

He also urged worshippers to pray for stability and prosperity in Nigeria.

Ayodeji cautioned Muslims against allowing global political tensions to create religious divisions within their communities.

He also warned young people against being drawn into extremist narratives or geopolitical conflicts that do not reflect the values of Islam, urging members of the organisation to reflect these values in their daily lives by promoting peace, unity and development in their communities.
