Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Mr. Timothy Owoeye has urged Muslim faithful to uphold their obedience to Allah in the Spirit of forgiveness for one another.
The Speaker in a statement by his Press Secretary, Mr. Kunle Alabi, to commemorate Eid-el-kabir, charged Muslims to expand their spiritual benefits of the occasion by promoting peaceful co-existence with each other and people of other faiths and shun violence and religious conflicts in whatever form.
Mr. Owoeye admonished the faithful to imbibe the Spirit of sacrifice which Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismael exemplified.
He added that adherents of Islam should imbibe the lessons of commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to the will of God which Eid-el-kabir commemorates.
The Speaker said, Political leaders and followers, religious and adherent’s, must come together to forge a harmonious relationship for the love of their country. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) established it that the love of one’s country is a very essential part of faith.
