The United Nations Habitat Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency Dr. Raymond Edoh has charged Nigerian youths to keep faith alive in the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he distributes five thousand naira each to two hundred youths pointing out that the birth of Prophet Muhammad calls for the show of love to neighbors irrespective of religion, tribal, political differences.
"What matters most is that we are all humans", he said.

Edoh who gave the charge in Lagos State during a delegation youth meeting he had with youths across the entire Local government Councils of Lagos state today, Wednesday with the theme: Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Youths are not left Out", in honour of the birth of Prophet Muhammad stressed that the birth of Prophet Muhammad calls for celebration, love and a renewed hope for Nigeria especially to the youth constituency even as he disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR mean well for Nigeria and Nigerians.


In his opening remarks, he has this to say,
"Eid-ul-Maulid, also known as Mawlid al-Nabi or simply Mawlid, is celebrated to commemorate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. The word "Mawlid" translates to "birth" or "birthday" in Arabic, while "al-Nabi" means "the Prophet."

"The significance of Eid-ul-Maulid varies among different Islamic traditions and cultures. Some Muslims consider it an important observance and celebrate it with great joy and reverence, while others do not observe it as a religious holiday at all. The celebration of Eid-ul-Maulid is more commonly practiced in some Muslim-majority countries, particularly in parts of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia.

"For those who observe Eid-ul-Maulid, it is a way to express love, respect, and gratitude towards the Prophet Muhammad and to remember his life, teachings, and contributions to Islam. This day is often marked by special religious gatherings, processions, recitation of poetry and hymns, storytelling about the Prophet's life, and lectures or sermons that highlight his virtues and teachings, all of which we are doing here this morning.

"Muslims who commemorate Eid-ul-Maulid often engage in charitable acts, such as giving to the poor and needy, organizing events to feed the hungry, or donating to charitable causes. It is also a time for personal reflection, self-improvement, and reaffirming one's commitment to following the example set by the Prophet Muhammad.



"Overall, the significance of Eid-ul-Maulid lies in honoring and remembering the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and promoting unity, love, and compassion among Muslims. It serves as a time for reflection, spiritual growth, and the rekindling of faith.


Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of treating neighbors with kindness, respect, and compassion. He provided numerous teachings and examples that highlight the significance of good neighborly conduct. Here are a few notable statements attributed to the Prophet Muhammad regarding neighbors:

"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him treat his neighbor well." (Sahih Bukhari)

"This hadith underscores the connection between faith in Allah and treating neighbors well. It encourages Muslims to recognize the importance of good conduct towards neighbors as an integral part of their religious beliefs.

"The best companion in the sight of Allah is the best to his companion, and the best neighbor in the sight of Allah is the best to his neighbor." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

"In this statement, the Prophet Muhammad emphasizes that being a good neighbor is highly regarded by Allah. It implies that treating neighbors well is not only a social obligation but also a means of attaining closeness to Allah.

"He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should do good to his neighbor." (Sahih Muslim)

"This hadith urges Muslims to engage in acts of kindness and service towards their neighbors. It emphasizes the importance of practical deeds that benefit and support neighbors in their daily lives.

"By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe!" It was asked, "Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "One whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil." (Sahih Bukhari)

"This hadith highlights the severity of neglecting the rights of neighbors. The Prophet Muhammad states that a person who fails to ensure the safety and well-being of their neighbors cannot be considered a true believer.

"These teachings demonstrate the Prophet Muhammad's emphasis on treating neighbors with kindness, care, and consideration. Muslims are encouraged to establish strong bonds with their neighbors, support them in times of need, and maintain harmonious relationships based on mutual respect and cooperation.

"Inasmuch as we are here all gathered to celebrate, and show solidarity in the Tinubu led government, please I urge us the youths to go back to our places and show love to our neighbors. Some of our neighbors don't have food, transport to work, and several others, please check on them and show love according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

"One other way we can also show love by extension is by believing in the Renewed Hope Agenda. Doing so means showing love for this country and it's components like the economy, the leadership of the country, and several others. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has this country and the youths of this country in mind. In a no distance time, policies and programs that would be rolled out will convince us all.

"Let's please give him the necessary support and also ensure that we engage in legal activities and business to protect the image of the nation locally and international ", he urged
