The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Chapter has called on Muslim students to maintain their holy ways and submission to Allah after the month of Ramadan.
The call was made by the Amir, Mallam Aminu Wasiu while speaking with Press Club MAPOLY on Wednesday at the just concluded 10 days Itikaf at the school mosque.
Wasiu urged students who participated in the fasting exercise of Ramadan not to see the end of Ramadan as an opportunity to go back to their sinful ways and abandon their good deeds carried out during the holy month.
The number one Muslim student expressed pessimism that Muslims may abandon all the good deeds they observed during Ramadan after Eid-fitri.
He said, "After 30 days of total submission to Allah, Muslims may start their impurity as soon as we break the fast.
“Muslims who have abandoned adultery; drinking of Alcohol and the like during the holy month may go back to these acts. Ramadan is not the only month of Ibadah but other months are also holy months.”
"My advice is that we should sustain the spirit of Ramadan and Muslim shouldn’t relent and go back to their ways of neglecting Islam."
Wasiu added that the students should make good use of the teachings and lessons they gained during the holy month.
"We have learnt so much during this month and I implore Muslim students on and off campus to imbibe the teachings gained so they can have positive impacts in our lives," he said.
He also commended the efforts of the Ramadan committee on the task they carried out during Ramadan and appreciated MAPOLY Muslim Ummah.
