NASFAT Prays For Troubled Regions at Laylatul Qadr
Urges members to promote peace, unity and development in the community
By Sadiq Abdulfatah
During the 27th night of the Holy Month of Ramadan, hundreds of worshippers gathered at the headquarters of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) in Aseese, Ogun State, as its president, Alhaji Ayodeji Abdulrauf Abdulwahid, urged Muslims to pray for peace in troubled regions and unity within communities at the annual Laylatul Qadr, which is believed to be the Night of Power, better than a thousand months.
While delivering his address, Ayodeji said the night is a moment of reflection, forgiveness, and renewed faith, adding that Laylatul Qadr is a night of immense spiritual significance, a night of mercy, forgiveness, destiny, and divine elevation, and also the night when the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for mankind.
According to him, the convergence comes amid several challenges facing the world, including conflicts, economic hardship, and humanitarian crises, which have left millions of people displaced, causing struggles with poverty and uncertainty. “These global challenges remind us of our shared humanity and our collective responsibility as members of one Ummah. When one part suffers, the rest must feel the pain,” he said.
The president therefore urges the congregation to utilize the spirituality of the Night to pray for peace and relief in all affected zones and for the displaced ones and also for the stability and prosperity of Nigeria, as he cautioned Muslims over allowing the global political tensions to create religious divisions within their communities. “Muslims must not allow tensions involving countries such as the United States, Israel, and Iran to trigger religious divisions within our communities. These conflicts are largely struggles for strategic dominance and influence rather than religious differences,” he said.
“As members of NASFAT, our mission goes beyond personal piety. We are called to be ambassadors of peace, unity, and development within our communities and the nation,” he added.
Ayodeji also used the occasion to appreciate donors, volunteers, and members who have contributed to NASFAT’s Ramadan Programs and ongoing development projects, encouraging them to support the remaining phases of the project. “We call on all our zones, branches, and well-meaning Muslims to support the completion of the mosque and other development projects at the center,” he said.
As he urges worshippers to continue giving charity, offering prayers, and seeking forgiveness during the final days of Ramadan, he also prays for the acceptance of the fasting, prayers, and charitable acts of Muslims observing the holy month.
The gathering at the NASFAT Islamic Centre continued with prayers, supplications, and Qur’an recitations as worshippers sought divine blessings and forgiveness during the sacred night.
