We have many Islamic cleric and scholar across Nigeria condemning celebration of new years by Muslims, but did they condemned killing going in the North?
The recent one was that of MURIC Director, Prof Ishaq Akintola, who says that celebration of New year by Muslims is against Islam.
In his statement, Akintola call on Nigerian government to declare Public Holiday on Muharram Hijrah, which is the first day in the Islamic calendar, to favour Muslims.
With this point, it is clear that MURIC is a political organization seeking for self value.
What he says didn’t represent the interest of all Muslims, because there are no verse of Qur’an that speak about new year.
Even the first day of Islamic Calendar which he is soliciting for to be declared public Holiday by the Federal government of Nigeria, was not mention in the Holy Quran, so were did he get his context from?.
What Prof Akintola is doing is imitation, he trying to curse segregation between Muslims and Christian in the country.
New year celebration is personal, is not a religious celebration, why are they taking it personal?.
Even in the Bible, it wasn’t written their that Christian should celebrate new year.
So anybody celebrating new year do that on his personal decision.
Okay if you says Gregorian calendar is a Christian calenders, why them didn’t you ask federal government to pay you salaries base on Islamic calendar or why didn’t you Stop using wrist watch and time which I also believe is configured base on Gregorian calendar.
As a professor, What you Should be talking about now is how you can save innocent Muslims been killed everyday by there fellow Muslims in the Northern part of the country, because Islam forbid shedding blood of innocent Human being.
Qur’an said anybody that killed one person is like he has killed the entire whole world.
So what you People Islamic Cleric and Scholar doing about that?.
Last week over 200 people were slaughter in Zamfara, what did you or other Islamic cleric and scholar says about it?.
This people they killed are Muslims, and the people that killed them are Also Muslims, what did you says about?.
If you have the voice to speak, speak on the real issues on grand, tell your government what they doing is not right.
Educate Islam about there Faith, tell them Allah forbid shedding blood of innocent people.
Educate yours followers on the proper ways of Islam, not speaking out of sentiment because you think federal government declared Public Holiday on January s1t for only Christian.
Okay good Has it done if Federal government Public Holiday new Islamic calendar, will that change blood spillage in the North?
