The Sultan of Sokoto and Chairman National Islamic Council Affairs of Nigeria, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Nigerians to learn how to leave in peace and be their brothers’ keeper, irrespective of religious affiliation.
He made this known on Sunday at a three-day workshop for Imams of 19 Northern States of Nigeria. It has the theme, “Muslims Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Challenges to Muslims Unity in Northern Nigeria,” held at U.K Bello Arts and Theatre, Minna
“The words of Islam is the word of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). To leave in peace is the only answer to Nigerian crisis, especially the incessant insecurity in the northern part of the country,” he said.
He said therefore, Imams should see themselves as leaders of Islam. He advised them to preach peace and love to the faithful.
The Sultan, who was represented by the Emir of Jiwa in the Federal Capital Territory, Dr. Idris Musa, said that the present predicament faced by the people was because they had turned against the tenets of Islam.
