Imbibe Spirit Of Philanthropy, Muslims Urged

Muslims in the country have been enjoined to imbibe the spirit of philanthropy as it would engender love, peace and growth of any community.

The charge was made by Sheikh Muhammed Sa’eed Abolaji Alasela, at the convocation and awards ceremony of Qur’an Majeed Islamic Society of Nigeria (QUMSON), held recently in Lagos.

According to the cleric, “it is time for Muslims across the country to embark on programmes that will benefit both Muslim and non Muslim communities. We should begin to complement government’s efforts in the areas of health and education by providing health facilities in our hospitals or the needy and education materials to our schools for the benefit of all.”

He also advised them to always invest in building of mosques and modern Islamic schools for proper education of Muslim children.

Dignitaries from all walks of life witnessed the ceremony, some of who received awards of achievement. They include Alhaji O. Abdul-Majeed, Superintendent of Police Adegoke, Abdul-Rahmon, Barrister Olubisi and Alfa Ishaq Olajide.

Best performing graduating students of the society’s learning centre showcased at the event include Sherifat Arepo, Habeebat Arepo, Moshood Abdul-Azeez and Azeezat Arepo.
