“In the same vein, JNI urges leaders at all levels to prioritize the welfare of the people by formulating and implementing policies that alleviate the hardships faced by our nation. Empowering the vulnerable and addressing pressing issues such as unemployment, poverty, and healthcare should be at the forefront of their agendas.

“The Hijrah is a turning point in the history of Islam, it signifies resilience and loyalty of the Muslims to Allah the Exalted, and His Messenger. It also signifies sacrifice, commitment and above all strong and unshakeable faith as displayed by the Companions,” he said.

The statement added: “We acknowledge the challenging times the nation is facing and urge the masses to remain steadfast and resolute in their faith and determination. Let us view these hardships as a teething phase towards a better future, and by standing united, we shall overcome all obstacles.

“As we are in the rainy season, JNI implores all Muslims to pray for abundant rainfall that will bless our lands with bountiful crops and lead to a bumper harvest. Let us also be mindful of water conservation and proper agricultural practices to sustain our resources for generations to come,” JNI said.
