Report By Stephen Lawan
In its effort at sensitizing
Nigerian youths on current situation in Nigeria and the world over, Abul Fadhl
Abbas Foundation, a youth organization under the stable of Islamic Movement in
Nigeria led by His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H), has recently organized
a conference in Yola. Titled, “Islamic Youth Awakening”, the event took place at
the conference of Royal Guest and attended by youth organizations from far and
near.
Speaker at the occasion, Alhassan
Maina gave brief history of the Messenger of Allah, his message and exemplary
conduct and qualities worthy of emulation.
Instead of the world to appreciate
and emulate these unprecedented qualities, he lamented, some section of who are
enemies of the Holy Prophet, decided at this point in time to ridicule his
personality in order to provoke his followers.
Maina further observed that, the
whole aim was to tarnish the image of Islam as religion of terrorists,
targeting youths in their unfortunate campaign.
He therefore called on Nigerian
youths not to be deceived by such campaigns of calumny, and they should use
their God-given faculty of reasoning to discern truth from falsehood.
He said, the only solution to
world’s problems is complete return to the message brought by Prophet Muhammad,
carried forward by Sheikh Usman Bin Fodiye, Imam Khomeini, now being propagated
by Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.
Maina urge Nigeria youths to support
the call by Sheikh Zakzaky as the only panacea to the current problems in
Nigeria.
He further said, youths should
emulated the relentless effort of Sayyed Ahmad Zakzaky, whose youthful age was
dedicated to propagating and championing a just cause, hence the termination of
his life, his brothers and other members by Nigerian soldiers under Colonel
S.O. Oku.
Also in his speech, Jamilu Musa
Bauchi described the youth as the backbone of any society whose potentials must
be properly harnessed and utilized to bring about the needed change.
He charged the youths to be agents
of change, while lamenting the anarchy ruling Nigeria through covert operations
and support of some among the citizens.
He pointed out that, Nigeria remains
dependent till such a time there prevailing problems are completely eradicated
and wiped out.
At the end of the conference,
consultations among youths took place at the end of which many of the
participants expressed appreciation and accepted to be catalysts for the
establishment of a just society, guided by divine injunctions.
Dinner was also organized for the
participants.
