Ramadan: MULAN president tasks Muslim lawyers on piety

The president, Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN), Prof. Ibrahim Abikani, has called on Muslim lawyers to continue to be pious and steadfast during the month of Ramadan and beyond.

The MULAN president made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.

“My message to Muslim lawyers especially and Nigerian Muslims as a whole is that the Ramadan is a period for sober reflections. It is a period when Muslims are supposed to be closer to God and be more empathetic about the plights of the less privileged,” he said.

Abikani noted that even those who were most privileged all over the world go through the same conditions during this period just like the least of the less privileged of the world.

“So, during this period, we remember those who are less privileged, we are closer to God; it is a moment to pray seriously for the nation and for ourselves.

“Our country is in a critical moment, and so, Nigerian Muslims and the Muslims lawyers especially should use this period to pray for themselves and for Nigeria as a nation.”
