They are urged to continue to live in peace with non-Muslims, and to be good ambassadors of Islamic religion and Nigeria wherever they find themselves.
As Nigerian Muslims embark on this spiritual journey, they are being reminded of the importance of spreading love, kindness, and compassion wherever they go.
By doing so, they can help to promote a positive image of Islam and Nigeria, and contribute to the development of a more harmonious and peaceful society.
The Nigerian government is also being urged to provide a conducive environment for Muslim faithfuls to observe their fasting and prayers. This includes ensuring the availability of basic amenities such as food, water, and electricity, as well as providing security and safety for all citizens.
