Dawat Islamic Society of Nigeria, Iyana-Ipaja, Agege, Lagos State, South West Nigeria, held its annual Ramadan lecture on Saturday, 21 August, 2010, dishing out awards to distinguished members of the society.
The event was graced by dignitaries and Islamic scholars across Lagos State, including Sheik Abdul-Ganny Solati, Alhaji Surajudeen Abdul-Wahab, Alhaji Abdul-Wasii Adeyemi, Chief Mogaji, Alhaja Latifat Saula and Alhaji Jimoh Ejigbadero, among others.
In his thought-provoking lecture, the lecturer of the day, Sheik Solati, reiterated the importance of serving God wholeheartedly, saying “whoever commits him or herself wholly to the service of Allah (SWT) by shunning all acts of sin and engaging purely in good deeds to fellow human beings, could use that to challenge Allah in periods of difficulty,†while one of the award recipients, Alhaji Surajudeen Abdul-Wahab, enjoined all Muslims to be committed to glorious propagation of Islam.
According to him, the award would spur the awardees and others to do more for Allah’s cause and humanity.
The society’s missioner, Alhaji Abdul-Qudir Abdul-Ganny, while addressing the awardees, expressed profound gratitude for their generosity and solidarity.
