He appealed to traders to fear Allah and make the prices of essential commodities needed in Ramadan affordable in order to earn Allah’s mercy and blessings.

The imam explained that Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and is a month of blessings where the Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad.

Aliyu-Umar enjoined the Muslim faithful to study and recite the Qur’an dutifully, improve obedience to Allah and give charity to the needy, particularly widows and orphans.

He also urged Muslims to remember the night prayers and show kindness and generosity.

The Islamic scholar called on the faithful to continue to pray for peace, unity and stability in the country.
