Dr. Olayinka Alausa extends warm greetings and well wishes to Muslims who have begun the month-long observance of Ramadan. He emphasizes the importance of demonstrating the best qualities of Islam through personal actions rather than mere words.
In his message to mark the start of the holy month, Dr. Olayinka encourages individuals to apply the teachings of Islam in their daily lives, particularly by showing kindness and love towards others. He emphasizes the need for deep reflection, a heightened sense of God-consciousness, and the avoidance of all actions that harm humanity.
Dr. Olayinka highlights that Ramadan involves abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk, fostering solidarity between the rich and the poor who experience hunger together. This period strengthens the bonds between different socio-economic groups.
As the founder of the Omo Alausa Foundation, Dr. Olayinka emphasizes that Ramadan goes beyond refraining from eating and drinking; it serves as a reminder to abstain from all forms of evil and transgressions that negatively impact humanity.
Furthermore, Dr. Olayinka expresses concern over the activities of traders who exploit the beginning of Ramadan by artificially increasing prices, including those of essential goods. He emphasizes that such exploitation goes against the spirit of Ramadan and the principles of Islam.
In conclusion, Dr. Olayinka urges individuals to not only observe the spiritual aspects of Ramadan but also to share their blessings with the less fortunate. By doing so, they will be rewarded by Allah for their acts of kindness and generosity.
