Hon. Oyebamiji Oluseyi felicitates Muslim Ummah, calls for increased prayers
Oyo PDP Chieftain, Hon. Oluseyi Oyebamiji, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah in the state and across Nigeria on witnessing Eid-el-Kabir 2024.
Hon. Oyebamiji, who felicitated the Muslims in a statement on Saturday, gave thanks to Allah SWT for another opportunity to witness the important festival.
He called on Muslims to use the opportunity to rededicate themselves to the service of Allah SWT and for doing good to humanity.
He equally charged them to use the occasion to make more supplications to Allah SWT for continued peace and prosperity in Nigeria and Oyo State.
He said: “Today, I felicitate my Muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of 2024 Eid-al-Adha.
“It is another wonderful opportunity from Allah SWT to make sacrifices, pray and make merry. To Him belong all praises.
As we celebrate, we must not lose sight of the lessons of the season.
“Muslims must take to heart the lesson in Quran 22:37 that; ‘Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah.
Rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to the good-doers.’
“Therefore, I urge them to rededicate themselves to the service of Allah And to seeking the good of humanity and our society.
“It is my prayer that Allah SWT will accept our worship and reward our efforts.
“Eid Mubarak.
