The Secretary to Ekiti State Government, Prof. Habibat Adubiaro, has called on Muslim faithfuls to sustain the spirit of giving and compassion beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
Speaking on Sunday during the Sallah prayer at the Central Mosque Eid Praying Ground in Odo Ado, Ado-Ekiti, Prof. Adubiaro emphasized that acts of kindness and generosity should not be limited to the fasting period alone.
She urged Muslims to make charity a continuous practice, extending support to the less privileged throughout the year.
According to her, the essence of Ramadan includes self-discipline, piety, generosity and values that should be upheld even after the fasting season ends.
“Our obligations to humanity do not stop after Ramadan. Giving to the needy should not be seasonal but a lifelong commitment. Let us continue to support one another and uplift the less privileged in our communities,” she stated.
