Chief Imam of Buhari Dan Shehu Jumu’at Mosque, Abubakar Usman Mabera, has called on the Muslim Ummah to deepen their love and reverence for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the last prophet of Islam.
Delivering his Friday sermon, Imam Mabera emphasized the importance of understanding and adhering to the Prophet’s teachings, citing verses from the Holy Qur’an and Hadith to support his message. He said true love for the Prophet lies in following his guidance and emulating his character in daily life.
The Imam also urged Muslims to study the life of the Prophet to strengthen their faith and embody his virtues.
In addition, Imam Mabera appealed to food sellers to reduce prices in line with recent drops in market rates, saying such action would attract divine blessings and foster goodwill within the community.
The sermon was attended by Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, APC leader Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, and Hon. Bala Hassan Abubakar, representing Sokoto North/Sokoto South Federal Constituency. Members of the state executive council and special advisers were also present.
Following the sermon, Imam Mabera led the congregation in two Raka’at Jumu’at prayers, reinforcing the themes of unity, devotion, and adherence to Islamic principles.
The gathering, according to the Imam, served as a reminder of the collective responsibility of Muslims to uphold the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and strengthen community bonds.
