The member representing Oluyole federal constituency in the House of Representatives and the chairperson, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, has felicitated with Muslim faithful, as they celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Adha, urging Nigerians to emulate the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him), by imbibing the spirit of love, peace, kindness, and sacrifice during Sallah and afterwards.
In her message to the Muslim faithful, signed by her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Olamikekan Olusada, Akande-Sadipe further called on Muslims to pray for peace, unity, prosperity, and economic recovery of the country, Nigeria.
Noting that the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the pace of development in the country, Hon Akande-Sadioe reminded Muslims that Allah puts us in hard times so that we can appreciate His blessings afterward. She said, “Let’s put our trust in Him and pray for courage and solutions.
“Only Allah knows what is best for us. So, don’t lose hope in our troubled times; instead, let us remind ourselves that Allah always has the best plan for all of us.”
Quoting copiously from the Holy Quran, she said, “Allah’s promise in the Qur’an {Indeed with the difficulty there is an ease. Indeed with the difficulty there is an ease.} (Al-Inshirah 5-6), difficult times are decisive and differentiating.
“They show those who are truthful and those who are not. May the year ahead be fruitful for you and your home or family.”
