The Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has urged Muslim faithful to sustain their religious obligations of living in peace and harmony with fellow human beings.
He urged them to desist from actions that can bring about disunity among members of the society. Sulu-Gambari stated this in his Sallah message delivered shortly after the two rakat prayer marking the end of the glorious month of Ramadan 1444AH at the Ilorin Central Yidi praying ground.
While congratulating the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq on this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the Emir said: “I pray that Allah continue to guide and protect him in the course of steering the ship of the state for the second term.”
Sulu-Gambari, who is the Chairman of Kwara State Council of Chiefs, added that the people of Ilorin Emirate and beyond should be security conscious by being vigilant at all times even as he congratulated them and security agents for the security arrangements made during the last general election.
He prayed for the safe return of all those who went for the holy pilgrimage at Saudi Arabia and quick recovery for the sick. He also prayed Allah to forgive the dead and also give their families the courage and fortitude to bear the great loss.
Earlier in his sermon, the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Dr. Muhammad Bashir Imam-Soliu, admonished Muslim faithful to remain committed to the teachings of Allah and ways of life of Prophet Muhammad at all times even after the month of Ramadan.
