The Chief Imam of Lagos State Central Mosque, Falomo, Dr Tajudeen Adebayo, on Tuesday charged Muslims to devote themselves to more prayers to benefit from the last days of Ramadan fast.
Adebayo gave the advice during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Adebayo said that setting aside worldly affairs would enable Muslims to devote themselves to worshipping God especially during the last 10 days of the Ramadan fast.
The cleric said that the last 10 days of Ramadan fast were the peak of the exercise and attracted much blessings.
He urged Muslims to increase their devotion and charity.
According to him, the last 10 days of Ramadan includes the Night of Majesty also known as Laillatul Qodir and regarded as the best night of the whole year.
“It was on this night that the Noble Quran was revealed. This night is better than 1,000 months.
“It is on this night that matters of importance are determined by Allah for the year.
“Angels, including Angel Gabriel, will descend. The night is full of peace and light till dawn.
“Strategically, the night is kept in the last 10 days to encourage believers to make efforts through the month,” he said.
Adebayo said that part of the strategies not to miss the Night of Majesty was seclusion in a mosque, setting aside worldly affairs to embrace devotion.
Adebayo advised Muslims to ask God for forgiveness of any sin to be able to partake in eternal life (aljannah) (NAN) www.nannews.ng
