The Honourable representing Akinyele constituency 1, in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Ayotunde Fatokun, has urged Muslims to emulate Prophet Muhammad’s teachings, which is centered around charity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence.

Fatokun, who is also the Chairman Parliamentary Council in OYHA, made the call today, as Muslims are  marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad — Malud Nabiyy.

You recall today is Maulud Nabiyy, which marks the anniversary of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).
The Federal Government had, therefore, declared Nov. 11 as public holiday to commemorate the anniversary.
Ayotunde Fatokun, who felicitated with the Muslim faithfuls across the country, particularly Oyo residents, as they join the Muslim world to celebrate Maulud Nabiyy, said: “I, therefore want to use this auspicious occasion to call on Muslims to align themselves with the prophet’s teachings.
“His teachings border on piety, charity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence, among others.
“I enjoin faithfuls to continue to demonstrate in their lives, the good virtues of the Prophet, to engender peace and unity needed for growth and development of our dear state and the country at large.”

He said Muslims should exhibit good conduct, be just, preach peace, be good to their neighbours and kind to children and the aged.

He said the celebration would provide Muslims the opportunity to reflect on the Prophet’s deeds and pronouncements, as well as the messages He brought from Allah.
