Amir, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat,
Nigeria, Dr. Mashuud Fashola has noted that the devil has captured some
Nigerian religious and political leaders.
He admonished Muslims in the
country to always associate with leaders who have the fear of God and avoid
luxury and materialism.
Dr. Fashola said this when he
spoke with reporters after commissioning the Jammat Mosque located off
Agidingbi road, Lagos.
Talking on the state of nation,
he said, “the devil has captured some religious leaders and Nigerians as
predicted by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, (s.a.w).
“Even Isa, Jesus (a.s) predicted
that religious people will come in sheep’s clothings, but inside, they are
wolfs. In otherwords, religion is a potent instrument to capture people.
“They indoctrinate people and use
them for selfish interest. As it is happening in Nigeria now, it is also
happening in other parts of the world.
“A true religious leader will not
encourage wealth accumulation and materialism and will always discourage his
followers. Have they been telling those who looted the country to return their
stolen wealth?
“They shy away from the truth.
So, the masses can only associate themselves with those religious leaders who
do not seek luxury or materialism.
“If we are all sincere, religion
will unite us. We can also come together to demand good governance.
“You will not see a true Muslim
who hates and kills his neighbour or people in the society. I am friend to all,
I love all and hate none. That is the only way you can serve God.”
