Islam abhors cursing leaders: NASFAT missioner
The Assistant Missioner of Nasrullahi Fathi Society of Nigeria (NASFAT), Mustapha Abdulkareem, on Sunday in Kaduna warned Nigerians against cursing leaders.
The cleric gave the warning after he delivered a lecture on “Lessons from the Migration of Prophet Mohammed’’ organised by the Doka local chapter of the Kaduna State branch of NASFAT.
“The only way to solve Nigeria’s challenges is to support our leaders by praying for them and not by cursing them,” Mr Abdulkareem enjoined.
“The moment you curse your leaders, you curse the entire nation, whereas the moment you support leaders, God will direct their steps with your prayers.”
Speaking with journalists, Mr Abdulkareem described cursing of leaders as a violation of the teachings of Islam and admonished Nigerians, particularly Muslims to always pray for leaders for God’s guidance.
“Make sure you also do your own part to contribute to the development of the nation,’’ he said.
The religious leader advised Muslim faithful to contribute to the development of Islam and always follow the footsteps of the noble Prophet Muhammad.
