Muslim Leader Hails Three For Graduating From Islamic School
A Rivers State Islamic Leader and Vice President General, Rivers State Council of Islamic Affairs (RSCIA), Alhaji Nasir Awhelebe Uhor, has lauded three indigenes who were among 26 students from different countries that graduated at the Nigeria America Islamic Mission (NAIM) School of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Cairo, Egypt.
Speaking as special guest at the graduation ceremony held at the school premises recently, Alhaji Uhor congratulated the graduands and urged them not to relent but to build on what they have learnt as well as reciprocate the sacrifices of their parents by being obedient and committed to their studies as there was no better gift than the quality of education they have acquired.
He however stressed the need for Muslims worldwide to invest massively in planned family education, saying “Having a planned and well educated family, no matter the size, is the surest way out of the severe challenges of poverty, hunger, ignorance, disease and falling prey to dangerous unislamic doctrines currently ravaging the Muslim world”.
The Islamic leader pointed out that although Allah, The Almighty did not limit the number of children a family should have, He laid great emphasis on their adequate provision and proper education, adding that He also ordered child spacing as part of family planning.
“It is unislamic to have children who end up in the streets to be recruited by deviant organidations as foot soldiers against Islam, Muslims and the society at large”, he reiterated, and gave kudos to the Proprietor and staff of the school for their dedication and professionalism, urging them not to relent in their efforts.
Also speaking, the Defence Attaché to the Nigerian Embassy in Egypt, Brig. Gen. Lawal congratulated the grauduands, urging them to be good Ambassadors of Islam, their school and countries.
The three students who graduated include two sisters, Hajia Rasheeda Umashi Uhor, Malama Amina Etonwana Uhor who are daughters of the Rivers State Islamic Leader and Vice President General, Rivers State Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Nasir Awhelebe Uhor and Alhaji Dawud Azhiloluka Ideozu, all from Ahoada, Ahoada East Local Government Area.
