The Secretary to Ekiti State Government, Prof. Habibat Adubiaro, has called on Muslim faithful to sustain the spirit of giving and compassion beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
Speaking on Sunday at the Central Mosque Praying Ground in Odo Ado, Ado-Ekiti, during the annual fasting prayers, Prof. Adubiaro emphasized that acts of kindness and generosity should not be limited to the fasting period alone.
She urged Muslims to make charity a continuous practice, extending support to the less privileged throughout the year. According to her, the essence of Ramadan includes self-discipline, piety, and generosity, values that should be upheld even after the fasting season ends.
“Our obligations to humanity do not stop after Ramadan. Giving to the needy should not be seasonal but a lifelong commitment. Let us continue to support one another and uplift the less privileged in our communities,” she stated.
Prof. Adubiaro also commended the Muslim community for their dedication to prayers, fasting, and acts of charity during Ramadan. She encouraged them to uphold the principles of peace, love, and unity, which are fundamental to Islam.
The annual fasting prayers at the Central Mosque Praying Ground saw a large gathering of Muslim faithful, clerics, and community leaders who came together to seek divine blessings and guidance. The event was marked by fervent prayers for the state and the nation at large.
