AJMIN Calls for Prayers to Address Nigeria's Security Issues

The Association of Jumuat Mosques Imams of Nigeria (AJMIN) convened a leadership seminar titled “Leadership in Islam for National Peace and Divine Intervention” in Kano, where they called for continuous prayers for Nigeria's escalating security issues. Sheikh Muhammad Nasir Adam, the AJMIN national chairman and Chief Imam of Sheikh Ahmadu Tijjani Jumuat Mosque, highlighted the urgent need for prayers due to widespread violence affecting citizens.

He noted that AJMIN selects a state annually to discuss national issues and pray for peace. Sheikh Nasir urged Muslims to recognize that insecurity could impact any community, regardless of current safety.

He also stressed the importance of Imams distinguishing personal opinions from Islamic teachings. Gwani Musa Hamza Falaki, representing Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, acknowledged the significant role of Imams in society.

Sheikh Abdullahi Uwaisu Limanci encouraged Imams to understand their communities' unique challenges to provide appropriate guidance.
