PRESS RELEASE:
DEATH OF CHIEF
IMAM NATIONAL MOSQUE: MURIC CONDOLES SULTAN & NIGERIAN MUSLIMS
The death has been announced of the Chief Imam of the
National Mosque, Abuja, Alhaji Musa Mohammed. He died Saturday evening after a
brief illness.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) commiserates with the
leader of all Nigerian Muslims, Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar, the Sultan of
Sokoto and President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic
Affairs (NSCIA). In like manner, we condole the entire Nigerian Muslim
community and the Abuja Muslim jamaah whom the late Chief Imam had led and
served most fervently during his lifetime.
Alhaji Musa
Muhammed dedicated his whole life to the service of Almighty Allah. He was a
great scholar of Islam who led a simple and ascetic life. His death will serve
as a lesson to Nigerians on the need to shun materialism and to move closer to
the Unseen Creator. His death will definitely leave a yawning lacuna particularly in Abuja Muslim
community.
MURIC charges
Nigerian Muslims to use the occasion of his death to forge greater unity in the
Muslim Ummah and promote peaceful coexistence with non-Muslims.
We pray that Almighty Allah will forgive the late Chief
Imam’s shortcomings and shower His mercy on him. We also pray that Allah gives
his family the strength to bear the loss.
Professor Ishaq Akintola,
Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)
