EMAN Abuja Branch Amir’s Speech

Delivered during the 1447 Hijrah Lecture and Special Prayers in Memory of Ameer Arc. Abdulyekeen Mamman, and the Launching of the Calendar/Borehole Project, held in Abuja.

By Dr. Sheikh Hussain Abdallah Rahman

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the world’s (Alhamdu lillahi Rabil Aalamin), the beneficent the merciful, we are indeed very grateful to Allah for His mercies and bounties on us. We are alive today through his special Grace, mercy and power.

May the praise, benediction and salutation of Allah be on the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), the most dignified of all beings and unto members of his household, the Sahabas Companions, the Tabiun (followers of the companions) up till today.

We pray for the soul of our departed Ameer Arc. Abdulyekeen Mamman a dedicated leader who works tirelessly towards today lecture alas Allah called him back some days to the Hijrah Occasion Allahu Akbar. May Allah accept his selfless efforts as an acts of Ibadat and console the family in particular and the Ummah in general.

We are gathered here today because of one admirable and emittable footstep of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), the Hijra, Immigration from Mecca to Medina Al -Munawara, then from the city where Darkness prevailed to the city where light illuminated and as a result named as the City of Light.

Today compared to the period of Jahiliyah (ignorance), in our country and other places of the world, a deliberate pleasurable orchestrated move by some of us in direct disobedience of the orders of the Almighty Allah and committing of abominations never heard in history, such as father having carnal knowledge of his daughter and mother of her son through cultish perversion, and a father slaughtering his son for rituals to get rich. We need to caution ourselves and migrate from this incestuous acts. Allah said: And marry not women whom your father married, except what has already passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful and an evil way (Q 4 Ayah 22 -23)

People pray in the mosques and their after, go to commit abominations crimes sins and incests. We should therefore re- focus and re-examine our faith in Allah and be steadfast. I am particularly challenged and urged to draw attentions of Muslims worldwide on the deviations from the Prophet’s mode of observing the five compulsory daily prayers (Salat). Because he has specifically commanded us to pray “pray as you see me observe my Salatul (prayer). There is no time for me to dwell on this now but there’s a pamphlet prepared by a renowned Sheikh, Sheikh Abubakar Yusuf El-Rufai which will help you correct this deviations to conform with the Holy Prophet’s mode of Salat as an order.
