Sultan Sa’ad who noted that this year’s Tafsir were conducted by the scholars without harassing or abusing each other, further reiterated his several calls that Muslims should fear Allah in all their dealings as that is the only way one could be safe from any calamity.
The Sultan further commended the founder of the Mosque, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, for his support toward the propagation of Islamic teachings, norms and values.
Mallam Helele, the lead translator of the Quran, said for the past 16 years, they have been using a book written by one of the Sokoto jihadists, Mallam Abdullahi Gwandu, titled “Tafsir Jalalain”, to preach during Tafsir, but this year’s 1445/2024, they successfully finished it.
