The Muslim Council of Nigeria (MCON), on Monday in Kaduna, sensitised no fewer than 100 Islamic scholars on preaching methodology with the aim of uniting the scholars across board.
In his opening remarks, the President of the council, Alhaji Abdulrahman Sadiq called for collective efforts and cooperation of the scholars to ensure that the aim of the sensitization programme was achieved.
Speaking on the purpose of the exercise, Sodiq said with the advent of social media, many scholars have derailed while using social media platforms as avenues to attack one another.
The president said that with the sensitization, all the challenges identified before now would soon be over.
He urged the clerics to emphasize peaceful coexistence, unity, and piety during their preaching sessions throughout the month-long fast and after.
Sodiq further encouraged the beneficiaries of the program to uphold the dictates of the holy book and the hadith of prophet Muhammed as a guideline during their preaching.
” Islam is a religion of peace, and we must all strictly adhere to the dictates of the religion.
“It is our responsibility as Muslim Council of Nigeria to ensure that all the Islamic scholars are on the same page with one another without any form of discrimination, or using abusive words during preaching,” Sodiq said.
A cross section of the clerics interviewed were very optimistic of a positive result as the exercise availed them the opportunity to become good preachers.
