The family of the late Sokyiako of Kakanda Kingdom, Waziri Iliyasu today held three Day Fidau Prayer in honour of the deceased.
The Fidau prayer was held at Bakasomasti Mosque in Karaworo, Lokoja.
The prayer for the repose of the soul of the deceased was coordinated by the Chief Imam of Lokoja, Sheikh Aminu Shaban.
Shaban prayed for the deceased and his family to receive favour from Almighty Allah.
The Chief imam also prayed to Allah to forgive the deceased’s shortcomings, accept prayers on his behalf and give his family the fortitude to bear what he described as inevitable loss.
While delivering a sermon at the Fidau, a cleric, Sheikh Abubakar Adamu, urged Nigerians to always exhibit good attitudes as a way of preparing for death which is inevitable and can occur at any time.
Adamu said death is inevitable which could not be resisted by anybody when the time comes.
“Death is a debt that everybody must pay when the time comes. There is no hidden place when your time comes.
“Everybody’s time may be different, but a day will come that we must pay the debt of death.
“Always do good and let Almighty Allah accept your good deeds. You can only prepare by doing good every time,” he said.
The Fidau was attended by members of notable Islamic organisations and Arabic institutions in Kogi state, including Council of Ulama’u, Jama’atu Nasir Islam, JNI and the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, MSSN.
Until his death, late Waziri Iliyasu was the Imam of Bakasomasti Mosque, member of Kogi state Council of Ulama’u and a retired senior staff of Nigerian Television Authority NTA.
