This was the submission of Imam Abdul-Rasheed Adedeji while delivering a sermon during the Eid prayer of the Muslim students society of Nigeria, Oyo Area Unit held in Ibadan.
Imam Adedeji who emphasized that Ramadan is a month to train hearts, and souls for the purpose of developing a love for and connection with Allah, explained that, fasting is beyond observing physical abstinence but, to refrain Muslims from any hurtful utterances, lies, and unnecessary comments which could lead to disunity in the society.
