An Islamic group, Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) Worldwide has declared Sunday, June 8, 2014 as a special day of fasting and prayer to call on Allah to safe the nation from the Boko Haram menace.
According to a release jointly signed by its president, Sherif Yusuf and General Secretary, Lukmon Folorunso, all the zones and branches of the organization, home and abroad, will on that day, engage in fasting and prayer soliciting Allah’s relief from the siege that has been inflicted on Nigeria and Nigerians by the forces of evil manifested in the wanton killings, maiming, abductions, arson, disruption of economic activities, extortion and general state of fear and insecurity unleashed on the nation by Boko Haram.
The group will also seize the opportunity to pray for Allah’s comforting grace on all those who have suffered personal losses in the spate of the evil attacks and abductions, as well as beseech Allah to reveal and bring to justice the perpetrators of the heinous act against humanity.
NASFAT condemned the act of terrorism being perpetrated by Boko Haram and their cohorts, while praying Allah to frustrate their evil intents and bring them to face the most severe punishments for their dastardly deeds.
NASFAT’s resort to fasting and prayer, the organisation said is motivated by the conviction that Allah is the Supreme Creator of the universe, and all the forces that exist within it are subservient to His powers.
“God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing Disposer of all affairs in the world. At the call of His name, with sincerity and devotion, all other powers are disarmed except as may please Allah to grant limited room.
“NASFAT therefore joins all faithful believers in the Supremacy of God, to pray for reprieve and release of Nigeria from these evil forces, safe return of abducted children and divine protection against all such attacks in the future,” the statement said.
