It was a memorable Sunday Asalat as high spirited members of NASFAT Kaduna Zone welcomed Chief Missioner, NASFAT worldwide, Imam AbdulAzeez Onike to their midst.
The Chief Missioner has charged
Nigerians on the need to embrace peace particularly now that the nation is ushering in new administration come May 29th, Insha Allah.
 He made this charge during his familiarization visit to NASFAT Doka Group.
Appreciating members of the group, he said the group which is barely one year old has grown so fast.
“I am here to appreciate Allah for what is doing in the life of NASFAT. A society that started in the room of one of us with just 10 family members has grown to membership of over one million.
“I am on a visit to one of our newest groups, NASFAT Doka Group. We say congratulations to them. They just started and they are growing very fast.
The president NASFAT Worldwide, Alhaji Niyi Yusuf has sent me to tell them that we are with them, and to motivate them. He sends his regards, the entire members send their regards, send their felicitations to them and saying, congratulations as they continue to carry the flag of NASFAT.”
Everything being equal, he has assured of Doka being recognized as a branch soonest.
Commending the leadership and members of the group, he urged them to remain proactive and sustain the temple in order to become a full branch.
In his words of admonition to the congregation, he enjoined everyone to be steadfast in prayers as that is the best way to solving our problems.
“Whatever happens to you  even as you are steadfast in prayers despite all the prayers you are given in NASFAT, he said, consider it to be that, it is the creator that is doing what He wants with his creatures.”
Stressing on the need to be committed in worship, he added.
 “Allah takes the servant the way the servant takes Him saying, there is need to have faith in Allah and always appreciate Him.
Allah is merciful to his servants and guides them through signs and messages, all reflected in the holy Quran.
Explaining further,
“Allah has many signs of addressing us in the Quran.
He addresses us through story telling, He addresses us through the use of similitude and also by swearing. For example, Allah swears in the Quran when He uses, ‘Wal Asri’.
A Muslim, the erudite scholar added should be of enviable character. One worthy of emulation. You should be ready to impact positively on the lives of others. There is reward in sharing of knowledge. He encouraged.
“Allah says, who is so unjust if not that who knows the truth but hides it from others? Allah is a merciful God.
“We should thank Allah for creating us  as human.
Narrating some of the blessings endowed upon us, human beings by Allah, he said.
“We have every reason to appreciate Allah. He has given us the opportunity to walk on the land, fish can never walk on the land. Fish can never come out to the land.
We can walk in the air, we can walk in the water. You can see for yourself, animals, goats, cows, sheeps, they can never sit down for if it sits down for 10 minutes, it will die.
 Animals lie on their sides, which is more comfortable. Large animals rest standing up or lying on their sides.
Some lean against the wall and another rest on its back. (red Kangaroo).
Myself and yourself we can walk on the surface of the earth some creatures  walk on their toes, most animals walk in 4 legs.
Allah has given us a sense of hearing, that of sight and that of taste.
“Allah has deposited so many qualities of water in our body.
The water in our eyes is different. The water in our mouth is different, the one under our armpit  is different that of private part is different. They are all water coming out of our bodies without the assistance of anybody.
The water from the eyes helps us to cleanse our eyes through tears.
The water from the mouth aids you in digestion when you chew.  And that from the armpit comes out as sweat.
With all these, why can’t we appreciate Allah? “
“The Almighty Allah that we are glorifying, that we are praising, whether we praise Him or we don’t praise Him, , wether we glorify Him or we don’t glorify Him, whether we salute Him or we don’t salute Him, He has the whole keys to His kingdom.
“No matter how you glorify Allah, no matter how you salute Allah, Allah says, you can never glorify me up to the level that l deserve.”
The essence of coming to NASFAT he said is to know Allah the more.
He called on members to take their activities in NASFAT seriously and to impact positively on members of the society.
The Chief Missioner commended the leadership of the mission board Imam Marooph Muh’d Raji and his team for their spiritual commitments while stressing on the need to for more dawa’ah programmes.

Election has come and past and the president has been elected. My prayer and advice is that lets us accept it as the will of Allah. Let us as mothers advise our children to be peaceful and calm because when there is unrest, there will not be progress and l call on parents to caution their children not to cause unrest.
We all are living witness of what is happening in Sudan and other countries. We should pray for our leaders.
Hajiya Bashira Seidu:
“I must say the event is beyond our expectation. He came, prayed for us and we were all happy to receive him. Alhamdulllah, we give thanks to Almighty Allah.
People have been elected and only few days now to the swearing in. As mothers. We should  advise, talk to our children to allow peace to reign. Even in the Quran, Allah says we should pray for our leaders even if they are bad our prayers can turn them to better. Let us and the youth take it in good faith and believe it is the will of Allah and may Allah see them through.
Present at the event were NASFAT Zonal  and Kaduna branch executive members, NASFAT Kaduna Women management members and well wishers.
