THE Member, Lagos State House of Assembly representing Alimosho Constituency II, Hon. Kehinde Olaide Joseph, has sent greetings to the Muslim faithful in the Constituency, State, and around the world as they commence the 1444 AH Ramadan fasting, following the sighting of the moon.
In a statement issued by his Media Office on Thursday, March 23, 2023, Kehinde Joseph, who described the month of Ramadan as a period of spiritual uplift and complete devotion to Allah, encouraged Muslims to take advantage of the Holy month to strengthen their commitment to the service of Allah and humanity.
In his words: "I congratulate the Muslim faithful in Alimosho, Lagos, and around the globe for witnessing yet another blessed month of Ramadan. We thank Allah, who has made this possible.
"As we all know, Ramadan is a period of spiritual uplift and complete devotion to Almighty Allah. We must, therefore, take advantage of this Holy month to strengthen our commitment to the service of Allah and humanity.
"We must also endeavour to increase our acts of kindness and generosity by showing love and extending hands of support to the poor and the needy, as it was the usual practice of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
"I pray to Allah to accept all our acts of worship in this blessed month and reward us abundantly."
The grassroots lawmaker also urged Muslims, Lagosians, and Nigerians, in general, to seize the opportunity of the Holy month to intensify prayers for the continued peace, progress, and development of Alimosho, Lagos, in particular, and Nigeria in general.
