LAGOS AMIRUL-HAJJ IMPLORES PILGRIMS TO OBEY RULES GUIDING HAJJ EXERCISE

The Amirul-Hajj of Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Hakeem Abdul-Lateef has implored pilgrims to act according to the laid down rules guiding the Hajj pilgrimage in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

He gave the advice on Wednesday at a sensitisation lecture while hosting DAWAH group from the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON at the Lagos House in Makkah.

Dr. Abdul-Lateef emphasised that it is imperative for pilgrims to shun fake news and sermons from deceitful clerics who intend to mislead them from the righteous path and fraudulently take away their money.

He pointed out that the task ahead in completing the Hajj rites at Mountain Arafat, Musdalifah and Muna require teamwork and self-determination for success to be achieved.

While commending the pilgrims for conducting themselves decently so far in Makkah, Dr. Abdul-Lateef enjoined them to maintain the discipline and the fear of Allah inculcated in them during the several sensitisation lectures at every Salat time.

In his remark, the team leader of DAWAH group, Sheik AbdulRasheed Adiatullahi,  urged the pilgrims to reserve their energy for the task ahead while also enlightening them on the required process for the remaining Hajj rites and expectations from pilgrims at each stage.

He particular advised the pilgrims to manage their health status well before embarking on the journey to Muna as it involves lots of energy-sapping activities.

As part of the efforts to further position the pilgrims for a successful Hajj exercise, Lagos State Muslim Pilgrims Board had also organised Arabic session’s for the pilgrims to broaden their knowledge and ensure that they have all it takes to perform an acceptable hajj.
