Sallah: Imam blames insecurity on disobedience to teachings of Qur’an, Hadiths
Muslim cleric, Sheikh Umar Faruk Haruna has blamed insecurity in the country on the non-adherence to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an by the Muslims Ummah.
Haruna, who is the Deputy Chief Imam of the Ekenwa campus of the University of Benin, UNIBEN, made the remarks while speaking with newsmen shortly the two rakkah prayers to mark the 2025 Eid-el-Kabir.
The Imam who said Islamic religion is built on the fear of Allah, peace and love, noted that the ills in society cannot be eradicated unless the Muslims retrace their steps and go back to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad.
He said insecurity and other social vices have taken over all the nooks and crannies of the country because the Muslim faithful have decided to legislate for themselves instead of following and obeying Allah’s commands
“The message is simple. The essence of Islam is to have the fear of Allah, love and peace. If we the Muslim can actually behave as the Qur’an direct us and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad there will be no insecurity.
“It is because we have put the Qur’an and the Sunnahs of the Prophet aside, and we have decided to legislate for ourselves that is why we are having all these pockets of insecurity here and there.
“This cannot stop and will never stop until we retrace ourselves by actually believing what the Quran says and the Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
“The issue of insecurity you are seeing in Nigeria today is that you cannot wash the Muslims’ hands off of it. We are participating.
“Is it kidnapping, banditry, the Boko Haram. You can see today that where all these things started, we can even call them the Islamic states. But unfortunately these are supposed to be the last places where all these kinds of things are supposed to have taken place, but today here we are.
“The only solution we have is to go back to the Qur’an. It is for us to go back to the teachings of the Prophet. This is the only way we can have peace. As long as we have continued to disobey God. You can see that we have even started getting our rewards here on earth before getting to the day of judgment”, he said.
He, however, advised the Muslim Ummah worldwide to hold on to the principles and tenets of Islam, noting that the Eid-el-Kabir celebration is purely Islamic and not to perpetuate immorality, illegality and those things that are completely forbidden in the sight of Allah.
On the sacrificial animals, the chief Imam admonished the Ummah that their sacrifice can only be accepted by Allah if acquired through legal means.
“We say even the ram we are struggling to get, you cannot strangulate, inflict pains or hardship on another person for you to get money to buy one.
“You cannot go and sin or cause pain on another person because you want to buy a ram.
“We say getting a ram is through your legal earnings, that is the only way Allah will reward you for it”, he added.
It was a night of deserving honour to the Zigima that has shone for decades.
A night of entertainment, joy, excitement and laughter.

Lady cries out after her brother was knocked down by keke on his way to early morning test at UniAbuja, faces possible leg amputation
A visibly distressed lady has cried out over a tragic accident involving her younger brother, a student of the University of Abuja.
According to her account, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when students were struggling to get to school for a test allegedly scheduled around 5 a.m.
She explained that while her brother and a coursemate were trying to cross the road in front of the University of Abuja, a commercial tricycle (keke), reportedly driving against traffic, knocked them down.
As of the time she shared the video, her brother was said to be unconscious and already being prepared for surgery. Doctors, she stated, described his condition as critical, adding that there was a possibility his leg might have to be amputated.
The lady further claimed that although the tricycle rider was arrested, there were moves to release him, and that the school authorities had not reached out or offered any form of support since the incident.
She also revealed that the hospital initially rejected her brother due to the seriousness of his condition before eventually admitting him, while medical bills continued to pile up beyond what she could afford.
