The wife of Kebbi State Governor, Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris, has rejoiced with Muslims on the Eid-el Kabir celebration with reflective significance on the high piety of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in obedience to the command of His lord, Allahu subhanahu wata’ala.
In her Sallah message to the Muslim Ummah as they celebrate the Eid-el Kabir on Sunday, the first lady, advised them to use the opportunity to strengthen their faith in Monotheism for the Worship of the almighty Allah alone as practiced by the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The Kebbi First Lady remarked that the Eid-el Kabir encompassed lessons for all mankind to reflect on the absolute submission to the will of Allah by His servant, prophet Ibrahim, (AS) who was commanded to sacrifice his son, Isma’il, with due obedience by both the Father and Son, before being substituted with a sacrificial animal.
She advised that: “Muslims must continue to be God-fearing in their public and private lives, with absolute devotion to the acts of worship prescribed by Allah, as the basic foundation for peace, tranquility, security, and prosperity in the society.”
Zainab who is performing the Hajj in Saudi Arabia requested Muslims at home and in the Holy Land to pray fervently for leaders to succeed at all levels of government and to achieve remarkable progress in Nigeria in all fields of human endeavour.
The First Lady said: “Muslims should imbibe the practical aspect of the Hajj of assembling faithful from all over the world to gather in one place in tranquility; they should reflect this scenario at home by upholding the virtues of unity, brotherhood, cohesion, and sincerity of purpose towards the attainment of a greater nation.”
She reaffirmed the commitment of her husband’s administration to sustain ongoing urban and rural transformation to uplift the living standard of all communities in Kebbi state.
