Jama’atu Nasril Islami urges Muslims to intensify prayers

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) under the leadership of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, JNI, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has urged Muslims to intensify prayers in the last 10 days of the holy month of Ramadan to bring the country out of its misfortunes.

In a statement signed by its Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER, the JNI on Monday further urged Muslims to collectively strive to earn Allah’s forgiveness and mercy as they intensified their generosity in alms giving in the holy month.

The statement reads, “Indeed we have witnessed restraint, patience, servitude and dedication to Allah, the Most High in Ramadan, hence we must collectively strive more to earn Allah’s forgiveness and mercy in this blessed month. May He strengthen our faith in Him and relieve our nation of the very difficult times we are passing through and the Muslim world in general. Aamin.

“Considering that the search for the most blessed night (Laylatul Qadr); the night of decree and honour had begun, which is sought in the odd nights i.e. 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th of Ramadan, Nigerian Muslims are called upon to maximally put to use these very last days by reciting more of the Glorious Qur’an.  More importantly, we should watch out for theLaylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) which often comes up in one of the five exceptional nights, according to authentic Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).”
