Delta Muslims sue for peaceful co-existence at Sallah
MUSLIMS in Delta State have sued for peaceful co-existence
with one another at Sallah, saying that without peace the country cannot
develop.
The Chief Imam of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Mosque, Warri, Delta State, Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Bello, who spoke to our correspondent immediately after the Sallah prayers, called on all Muslims and non-Muslims in the country to live in peace with one another, especially now that Nigeria is facing security challenges.
Alhaji Abdul-Azees said Islam is a religion of peace and that anybody who is causing insecurity in the name of Islam is not a Muslim, adding there was no religion in world that preaches violence.
He noted that for there to be meaningful development in any nation there must be peace in the nation, urging all to love their neighbour irrespective of their religious belief.
He prayed that God should expose all those causing crisis in the country, adding that everybody should tolerate one another as Nigeria is a multi-religious country.
“Muslims are peace loving people. Islam stands for peace because without peace there will be no development, happiness and we are not going to have rest of mind.
“So Islam calls for peace and Muslims are peaceful people. So I enjoin all of us to continue in our peace and love for one another and by the special grace of Allah things will be made easy for us. With the challenges we are passing through today, if we have love for one another, all these things will be things of the past,” Alhaji Abdul-Azeez said.
The Deputy Chief Imam of NPA Mosque, Warri, Alhaji Ibrahim Ismaila in his goodwill message also called for peaceful coexistence between Muslims, Christians and others, praying that God should expose all terrorists killing and maiming innocent Nigerians.
“May God Almighty make us to be united and live with one another in harmony. May God Almighty disgrace all those killing innocent people here and there. God will expose whosoever is behind this insecurity challenges that we are facing in this country, just as he dealt with king Pharaoh. We pray that God should bring peace to this country.”
Also speaking to our correspondent, Alhaji Sale Sale urged all Nigerians to learn to tolerate one another and accept one another, stressing that there is unity in diversity and that it was the diversity that has made us stronger.
“We are a multi-cultural and multi-religious people and in that case we are expecting that we should have tolerance among ourselves.”
