An Islamic non-governmental organisation, Pious Muslim Women, PMW, has prayed to Allah to cast away the gloom of COVID-19 and its chain of global tragedies and palpable fear.
The group said the prayer on Sunday in a statement issued by its founder, Dr. Hamdallat Yusuf, on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Fitri which comes after Ramadan fast.
PMW which rejoiced with all muslims also prayed that Allah should “accept all our siyaam, qiyaam, qirah and sadaqah.”
The group’s statement reads further: “Pious Muslim Women is quite mindful of the uniqueness of this year’s celebration which remains unmatched in sobriety to any living human being. To the PMW, this uniqueness is another manifestation of Allah’s inimitable might which requires our prayers and appreciation at the same time, as enjoined by the Islamic philosophy. On our part, for exceeding our target of ₦10m to ₦13.5m saadaqah and zakat or alms given to our brothers and sisters this 1441AH Ramadan, we cannot thank Allah enough…
“We also thank our wonderful members worldwide, who contributed about ₦13m to ensure a successful Ramadan Feeding programme. We pray that Allah repay you in multiple folds and grant your requests.
“Pious enjoins everyone to continue to abide by the social distancing rule and avoid situations that could jeopardize their health and the health of others. May Allah heal the world and grant us His forgiveness.
“Eid Mubarak!!!”
