Muslims in the country have been warned against indulging in social activities prohibited by Islam while observing the Sallah celebration.
An Islamic cleric, Mallam Musa Bello gave the warning on Wednesday at the Gadumo praying ground in Kogi State.
According to him, the experience of the 30-day Ramadan is meant to strengthen the belief of Muslims in the principles of Islam, adding that they are expected to deploy the experience gained during the Ramadan to enhance their daily interactions with other members of the public to boost peace.
“Rather than moving to the beer parlor, Muslims who are in this habit should celebrate in reflecting on how to improve on the material condition of the people and better the society,” he said.
He condemned some Muslims who, immediately they leave prayer ground, end up in beer parlours, stressing that such act is anti-Islam.
He called on Muslims known for spending hours praying and reciting Quran in the mosque and extorting people to check their action, adding that they are expected to engage in viable economic activities to fend for their families.
The Cleric prayed for peace in Kogi State and Nigeria at large.
