Social Movement For Change Wish You A Hitch Free Ramadan.

 28/06/2014

Reports reaching us has it that the new Islamic moon for the month of Ramadan has been sighted, which automatically placed today Saturday 28th-June, 2014 to be 1st day of Ramadan on the Islamic calendar and the beginning of Ramadan fasting.

Today, Muslims in Nigeria are expected to embark on a 30days fasting to fulfill one of the requirements in the five pillars of Islam and Muslims are also charged to abstain from all kinds of violence, lying, cheating and all other prohibited acts during the period of the holy month Ramadan.

Social Movement for Change is calling on the so-called agents of terrorism hiding under the shed of Islam to follow the teachings of Islam and embrace peace during this holy month and to desist from further bloodshed and escalation of violence as it goes contrary to the tutelages of Almighty Allah and his messengers.

We also call on Islamic preachers to use the month of Ramadan in preaching peace and religious tolerance among Nigerians. Islam mandated clerics to focus their teachings on the current situations affecting the society within, SMC therefore urged clerics to focus more on enlightening Nigerians on the life, religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence between Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and the contemporary idolators of his time for the sustenance of a long lasting in Nigeria.

SMC urge Nigerian Muslims to use this period in seeking divine interventions to our dear country and to pray for peace and unity in our nation, we also challenge Muslims to emulate the exemplary peace loving attitudes of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and live in peace with all irrespective of tribe, faith and region, as that will only make us to witness more Ramadans in peace.

On this note, on behalf of all of us here at Social Movement for Change, we are wishing our esteem readers, Nigerians and the entire Muslims ummah a hitch free Ramadan fast and may the Almighty God in his infinite mercy, accept all our prayers and bring peace/unity to our nation as a whole. May we live together to witness more and more Ramadans in peace and harmony.

SMC wish to re-affirm it commitments to building a peaceful and united Nigeria where religious, ethnic, cultural, regional and political differences will not matter to our existence or hinders our developments.

God Bless Nigeria.
God Bless SMC.

Signed.
