Muslims have been urged to eschew all forms of disobedience to Allah, repent and go back to the ways of the Lord of the universe.
The call was made by Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar the third, Sultan of Sokoto and the President General of Jamaatu Nasril Islam(JNI).
In a statement issued through the Secretary-General of JNI, Dr Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, the Sultan said that the country is going through woes because of the misdeeds, corruption and political recklessness and arrogance of citizens and leaders.
He called on all Nigerian Muslims Ummah to engage in sustained supplications/prayers at this moment of grief through special prayers at calamitous periods in the last Rakaat of each obligatory prayer and non-obligatory prayers.
He said the call to pray has become necessary following the wanton extermination of human lives.
He called on Imams,t Majaalis(Knowledge seeking gatherings) Halqas(study circles), Madaaris and Makarantun Allo(Islamic Schools) and all Muslim organizations in Nigeria to pray and seek Allah’s compassion for Nigeria and the North in particular.
