NASFAT urges Muslim women to get committed in God’s service

Plans N200m to fund child hospital
Muslim women across the country have been urged to always seek God’s face for solution to their challenges.

This plea was given yesterday at the conclusion of the 23rd yearly programme organised by members of the women’s wing of Nasrul-lahi-l-Fatih Society, NASFAT, drawn from various zones and branches of the society in the country.

Speaking on the theme of the event tagged ‘Muslim Women in a Challenging World: Attaining Success here and Hereafter’, the guest lecturer, Abimbola Lekki, described the challenges facing Nigerian Muslim women as artificial barriers, which must not be allowed to stop them from reaching their peak.

According to her, “there are even a lot of challenges in this world before we move to the hereafter. We see women being marginalised, hijab usage being an issue, even at the workplace Muslim women are perceived as something else.”

She noted that it was high time Muslim women took worshipping the almighty God seriously, adding that, “with him, solution is possible and no challenges can overcome a true worshipper.”

In his keynote address, NASFAT President, Olaniyi Yusuf, commended the efforts of the Muslim women for striving in the cause of Allah to impact positively the lives of others.

He advised the Muslim women to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in order to vote in the upcoming 2023 general elections.

On her part, National Women Affairs Secretary, Seweebah Kupolati, said that the yearly women’s week was to promote the mission statement of the society by actively engaging in the development of human capital, promoting Islamic values in family and community development.

She added that the National Women Management Committee of the association would be launching a fundraising campaign with a target of N200million to fund the women project: Phase 1- NASFATMother and Child Hospital.

According to her, “The aim of establishing the health facility is to support the priority agenda for our Society in four key areas of Health, Education, Livelihood and Da’wah (HELD). The hospital will go a long way to improve maternal and child care health indices, as well as help to achieve universal and comprehensive healthcare coverage in the country.”
