The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin and former President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, have urged fellow Muslims to use the occasion of Maulud to reflect on the virtues of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
The duo made the call to muslims in separate messages issued for commemoration of birthday of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Senator Barau in his goodwill message signed by his Special Adviser Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, described the noble Prophet as a role model to all.
“As we celebrate the birthday of our noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW), let us reflect on his virtues and teachings and follow his examples in our daily activities. Let us imbibe the lessons of compassion, peace and support for one another as preached by our noble Prophet,’’ he said.
He reiterated the National Assembly’s commitment to continue to enact the necessary legislation to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in tackling the country’s challenges.
He urged the Muslim community and all Nigerians to continue to pray for peace, stability and prosperity in the country, stressing the importance of unity in overcoming the challenges the nation faces.
Senator Lawan in his personally signed goodwill message said: “As we celebrate the birthday of our noble Prophet, let us strive to follow in his footsteps by being kind to our neighbours, helping those in need, and working towards a more just and equitable society.”
