Babatunde Sobowale, who is seeking leadership for the Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA), has organized a Ramadan lecture.
At the gathering, speakers motivated attendees to engage actively in political endeavors.
Sheikh Yunus Jamiu, from Mufti Diyaar of Alimosho, emphasized using power and authority for fulfilling God’s will.
As per his view, the concept of leadership within Islam began with the arrival of Prophet Muhammad, who advised his companions to always select a leader whenever they embarked on a journey.
The prophet merged within himself the roles of emissary, political leader, and military chief, much as we see today. It is attributed to Prophet Muhammad that he stated: ‘Whoever follows their leader has followed me, Muhammad, and whoever disobeys their leader has disobeyed me, Muhammad.’
Sheikh Jamiu highlighted certain criteria for selecting leaders, including “choosing according to an Islamic viewpoint, demonstrating mercy, showing benevolence, possessing the wisdom to guide others, maintaining fairness and justice, and beingmale.”
Host Tunde Sobowale expressed his gratitude to God for bringing the event to fruition.
He mentioned that the purpose of the meeting was to enlighten Muslim attendees about topics such as “Islam and Politics” and “The Importance of Continuous Charity.”
“This public Ramadan lecture is unprecedented for TS projects and is here to remain, God willing,” he stated.
Sheikh Sulaimon Ibrahim stated that Zakat is an essential part of Islam, designed to cleanse one’s finances and promote support from the affluent to those in need.
He mentioned that items eligible for Sadaqah encompass edibles, monetary donations, and extending compassion to those who are underprivileged.
