Islamic Cleric Warns Muslims Against Neglecting Prophet Muhammad's Teachings

 The Chief Imam of Area 10 Garki, Abuja Juma’at Mosque, Sheikh Yahya Al-Yolawi, says it is disturbing how some Muslims stray far away from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Al-Yolawi made the call while delivering his Juma’at sermon titled, ” What is your contribution to Islam?,” on Friday in Abuja.

The cleric expressed concerned that some Muslims would have digressed far away from what Allah and His noble Messenger wanted them to be.

"The Muslim ummah nowadays are experiencing degradation after respect, ignorance after knowledge, weaknesses after strength and has taken over to the back seat after occupying the driver’s seat.

”Verily, people have changed the pattern of Islamic teachings and deviated from sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

”And Allah is saying indeed, Allah will not change the condition of people until they change what is in themselves.

”As a result of that, Muslims community become weak, humiliated and over powered even by devils."

The cleric enjoined Muslims to contribute immensely towards progress and development of Islam

”It is imperative for every Muslim to ask himself what is my role toward Allah’s religion?” NAN quoted the cleric as saying.
