Ramadan: Muslim Council sensitizes Clerics on preaching methodology In Kaduna

From: Femi Oyelola, Kaduna

Muslim Council of Nigeria (MCON) sensitized no fewer than one hundred Islamic scholars on preaching methodology in Kaduna yesterday.
In his opening remarks, the president of the Council, Alhaji AbdulRahaman Abiodun Sadiq called for collective efforts and cooperation of the scholars to ensure that the aim of the sensitization programme was not defeated.
On the purpose of the exercise, he noted that with the advent of social media, many scholars have derailed, while using the social media platform as an avenue to attack one another.
The president opined that with the sensitization programme, all challenges identified before now will soon be over, urging clerics to emphasize peaceful coexistence, unity and piety during their Tafsir sessions and other Ta’alimat throughout the month-long fast and beyond.
Mallam Sodiq encouraged the beneficiaries of the sensitization exercise to uphold the dictates of the holy book and the hadith of the prophet Mohammed as a guideline during their preaching.
“ Islam is a religion of peace, and we must all strictly adhere to the dictates of the religion.
“It is our responsibility as a Muslim Council of Nigeria to ensure that all the Islamic scholars are on the same page with one another without any form of discrimination, or using abusive words during preaching,” the president of MCON emphasized.
