- From Maryam Ahmadu-Suka, Kaduna

Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamali, has urged Muslims to continuous­ly seek Allah’s forgivenes­s to end the mirage of challenges facing the nation, especially insecurity.

The emir, who spoke at the 10th Annual Ramadan lecture organised by the Sabil Charitable Internatio­nal Organisati­on in Kaduna, said Muslims across board must return to Allah and seek forgivenes­s. “Allah is angry with us, that is why we are faced with numerous challenges.”

He stressed that the government cannot tackle the problems on its own and called on citizens to come together and protect themselves by engaging in neighbourh­ood watch.

He noted that the role of traditiona­l leaders to register new members in every community is key to checkmatin­g the problem of insecurity facing communitie­s.

Guest lecture, Shaikh Kabiru Gombe, who spoke on the topic, “Sign of the End Time: COVID-19 and Other Related Security Challenges of the Present Time” also harped on the need for Muslims to continuous­ly seek forgivenes­s from Allah for only Allah knows when the world will end.

According to him, “Allah deliberate­ly hid the end time from mankind so that He can test us and know the rightful Muslims who worshipped Allah and constantly asked for forgivenes­s.”

He added that Allah has mentioned 133 signs of the end time in the Qur’an and 120 of them have been revealed.

The president of the organisati­on, Halimatu Sadiya Abdu, said the organisati­on focuses on promoting and improving the welfare of the less privileged and vulnerable members of the society.

She said the Ramadan lecture was aimed at improving the spiritual, moral and economic quality of life of the people and also to equip them with sound values that are essential for peaceful co-existence.
