Imam Shagari Urges Environmental Responsibility Amid Flooding

During a sermon at the Anas Ibn Malik Islamic Centre Masjid in AMSSCO Platinum City Estate, Galadimawa, Abuja, Imam Bashir Bello Shagari addressed the theme “Rain: A Blessing, Mercy, Trial and Lesson.” He highlighted the mixed feelings residents have towards rainfall, which, while nourishing and essential, has also led to flooding, property damage, and loss of life. The sermon called for gratitude towards rain, emphasizing the need for responsible conduct and environmental stewardship.
It referenced the Qur’an, which describes rain as divine mercy and a common resource essential for life. The Imam urged the congregation to reflect on their environmental responsibilities, criticizing practices such as filling drains with refuse and approving constructions on natural waterways.
He pointed out that flooding in August 2026 affected several areas in the Federal Capital Territory, underscoring the urgency of addressing environmental degradation and the need for sustainable development.
