For society to emerge out of the descent into degeneracy, religious leaders must teach adherents the essence of a righteous lifestyle and submission to God.
This was the submission of a guest lecturer, Professor Mahfouz Adedimeji at the 29th annual Ramadan lecture organized by the University of Ibadan Muslim Community.
Professor Adedimeji explained that if righteousness, peace and love were implemented in daily lives, the world would be a beautiful place for everyone.
He noted that the prevalence of moral decadence in the society which had resulted in all forms of atrocities had made life extremely difficult for humans.
Professor Adedimeji, however, advised members of the public and world leaders to retrace their steps back to the teachings of God and total submission to the will of God.
He further called on religious leaders to do more in teaching their followers the essence of love as exemplified by Prophet Muhammed.
Earlier in an address, the chairman on the occasion, a former governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Dr Yunus Akintunde said there was the need for people to give value to life more than worldly affairs.
Also speaking, the President University of Ibadan Muslim Community, Professor Musiliu Onilude encouraged Muslims to always be an ambassador of peace.
Dignitaries present at the event included the wife of Oyo State Deputy Governor, Professor Hamdalat Olaniyan, Oyo State Commissioner for Budget and Economy Planning, Professor Musbaudeen Babatunde and a recipient of an order of British Empire Award, Professor Daud Noibi among others.
