‎TOLF Disburses Second “Peaceful Stomachs” Ramadan Outreach

By Sadiq Abdulfatah

The Throne of Light Foundation, in collaboration with The PEACE (AS-SALAAM) Magazine, on Thursday distributed 25 foodstuff packages to 25 families in the Dutse Alhaji, Abuja as part of its second Peaceful Stomachs and Save a Home Ramadan Initiative.

Speaking at the event, Mallam Muhammad Awwal, who served as the Islamic lecturer, welcomed the beneficiaries and urged members of the Muslim Ummah to remain truthful while observing the fast.

He explained that the purpose of fasting in the month of Ramadan is not merely hunger or thirst. Quoting from the Qur’an, he said: “We have prescribed fasting upon you just as We prescribed it for those before you so that you may become God-fearing.”

According to him, Ramadan is meant to purify the soul rather than create hardship, noting that those who constantly complain during fasting may not have fully embraced the spiritual transformation expected of the period.

He further highlighted the vital role of mothers in building peaceful homes, urging them to emulate Nana Khadijah, the wife of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Mallam Awwal advised mothers to strive to raise their children on the right path and avoid actions that contradict the teachings of Islam. He described the home in Islam as a divine institution, warning that any deficiency in its foundation could lead to societal problems. “Mothers represent the true essence of a home. To achieve this, they must submit to Allah, support their husbands, make sacrifices, and remain content,” he said.

In her remarks, Hajiyah Lateefat, who served as the link between the Throne of Light Foundation and Muslims in the community, expressed appreciation to the organisers for providing food items and valuable guidance during the outreach. The food packages were distributed to the selected individuals representing each family.
