The Executive Chairman of Isolo LCDA, Olasoju Adebayo has felicitated Muslim faithful in the council area and beyond on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Fitr Celebration.
Olasoju via a release issued by his media office this morning shared in the joy of Muslimeen and Muslimah in the council area and beyond for the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan fasting noting the phenomenal significance of this year’s Eid falling on a Friday.
“Over the last 29 days, the euphoria of the Holy Month of Ramadan has lived with us prompting increased piety, devoutness, charity/alms-giving among other good deeds. Even though all of these wasn’t without enduring empty stomachs between dawn and dusk daily, it is, yet admissible that such robbed-off on us on many fronts.” A measure of this is the interesting rare falling of Eid on a Friday as we have it today.”
“Indeed, this year’s Ramadan has ended but that should not bring about a drop in our piety, compassion, patriotism as well as other godly and rewarding acts. As much as we will be savouring our rewards of Ramadan let us abide by its teachings and strive to remain a better Muslim moving forward,” the statement read in part.
Olasoju used the medium to appreciate those who graced his serial Ramadan programmes – Quranic competition, Public Lecture and daily “Iftar” held throughout the Holy month as he urged all and sundry to celebrate with caution and prayed for the nation as we edge towards transition of power.
”May Almighty Allah accept this year’s Ramadan as an act of Ibadah. I urge us to celebrate this Eid within the confine of moderation, morality and lawfulness.
Eid-el-Fitr Mubarak,” Olasoju prayed.
