Muslim Council of Nigeria (MCON), yesterday, 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, President of the council, AbdulRahaman Sadiq, called for collective efforts and cooperation of the scholars to ensure the aim of the sensitisation programme was achieved.
Speaking on the purpose of the exercise, Sadiq said with the advent of social media, many scholars have derailed while using the platforms as avenues to attacks on one another.
The president said with the sensitisation, all the challenges identified before now would soon be over.
He urged the clerics to emphasise peaceful co-existence, unity and piety during their preaching sessions throughout the month-long fast and after.
Sadiq further encouraged the beneficiaries of the programme to uphold the dictates of the holy book and the Hadith of Prophet Mahammed as a guideline during their preachings.
“Islam is a religion of peace, and we must all strictly adhere to the dictates of the religion.
“It is our responsibility as MCON to ensure all the Islamic scholars are on the same page with one another without any form of discrimination, or using abusive words during preaching,” Sadiq 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.
