The Chief Imam of 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Lt.-Col. Husein Eleje, has tasked Muslim faithful on continuation of daily righteous living even after the Ramadan.
Eleje gave task in Enugu on Friday as the fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan enters its 28th day. The .Ramadan fasting is expected to last for 30 days.
The cleric spokes on the sidelines of the month-long daily listening to sermons from the Holy Quran and strictly observation of Islamic injunctions/commandments this Ramadan by Muslim ummal (faithful).
He noted that “righteous living is a Commandment from Almighty Allah” and to be practiced daily and “not something to observe occasionally when its suits one”.
According to him, righteous living should be an embodiment of a true faithful life and not only during Ramadan fasting.
“If, somebody can cultivate the habit of accommodating others and living in peace with one’s neighbours, supporting the weak and less privileged and living a peaceful life and carrying out works of charity.
“Be someone that strives to build peace among people and intervene to settle misunderstanding among people as well as a keeper of one’s brother.
“These behaviours should not be seasonal but what should be clearly practiced by all faithful that heeds to the instruction of Almighty Allah’s Commandment,” he said.
The cleric admonished the faithful to totally live out their lives as if they are in the month of Ramadan for the rest of the year.
“A Muslim that have the fear of Almighty Allah will not go and take what does not belong to him or her; cause havoc or hatred between two people and disregard fellow human by not giving them due respect,” he added.
