The Nasiru Lahi-l- Fatih Society (NASFAT), an Islamic
group on Sunday in Lagos, prayed against the
spread of the Coronavirus disease in the country. The one-day prayer was part of the Society’s 25th
anniversary celebration. The chairman of the anniversary committee, Alhaji Remi Adeseun, during the prayer session at the
Lagos State Secretariat Mosque, enjoined Nigerians
to continually pray for the nation. “Islam is a very comprehensive way of life. The
prescription that the epidemiologists are using right
now is what the prophet had laid down a thousand
years ago. “These are all consistent to the islamic principle. If
you are in an area where there is a plague or
disease outbreak, just confine yourself. “Listen to authorities and do not rely on prayers
only. Prayers are helpful but God has also provided
the key for every ailment. Coronavirus: Nigerian governors react, reveal plan
to prevent spread of disease “Ailment are afflictions and a test from God, those
who bear them and not spread them while seeking
cure get the reward from Allah,” he said. He added that NASFAT was not just praying for Nigeria alone but for the rest of the world, saying that Allah would help contain the virus. Members also prayed for the peace and unity of the
country. Speaking on the 25th Anniverasay, the chairman
said series of programmes had been lined up to
commemorate the event. “We will be having a 2.5km walk for life, which is a
direct benefit to our members on March 21 to let
everyone know that islam is not a sedentary way of
life. “We will also be having a medical outreach which
will cater for everyone across all NASFAT branches. “There will be lectures that will be given by
eminnent leaders of Nigeria which will be held in Abuja, Porthacourt and Lagos on March 10, 18 and 25th respectively,” he said.
The NASFAT publicity secretary, Abdulhakeem
Yusuf, while speaking with journalists, said the
group had also embarked on a media tour as part
of the 25th anniversary celebration. He thanked the media for putting NASFAT on a
positive light.
