Honourable (Alhaji) Saheed Audullahi Mosadoluwa, the Chief Executive of Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Limited has congratulated Muslim Ummah for the successful completion of fasting in the blessed month of Ramadan and the celebration of 2025 edition of Eid-el-Fitr.
The Oyo town-born businessman also enjoined Muslims to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, togetherness, love and compassion as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Fielding questions from journalists in Lagos after Eid prayer on Sunday, Honourable Mosadoluwa said:
“For the 30 days of fasting and spiritual sacrifice to manifest positivity for our nation, Nigeria, it became important and necessary to appeal to Muslims to remain unshakeable in their support and prayers for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other leaders across the strata of the Nigerian society.
“Ramadan is a month dedicated to fasting, prayer, self-discipline, and spiritual growth. It is the time when Muslims strive to attain God-consciousness (Taqwa) and to purify their souls. The Quran highlights the purpose of fasting in Surah Al Baqarah (2:185). The month becomes a time of community bonding, increased worship, nearness to God, and hope for God’s forgiveness and mercy.
“Eid Al Fitr is celebrated as an expression of gratitude to God for granting believers the strength to complete this month-long journey of self-restraint and devotion. It is not merely the end of fasting but a continuation of its lessons, reminding Muslims to carry forward the values of patience, humility, and generosity into their daily lives for the remainder part of the year.
“Eid Al Fitr is not merely a day of festivity but a reflection of the transformation achieved through Ramadan. The holy month of fasting, prayer, and introspection is intended to strengthen one’s relationship with God and reinforce the moral character expected of a believer. Eid serves as an opportunity to engage with the world, embodying the piety attained during Ramadan while carrying forward the lessons of patience, gratitude, and self-restraint.
“Undoubtedly, Eid is a profound reminder that self-discipline, gratitude, and charity should steer a believer’s actions throughout the year. Eid Al Fitr remains a timeless beacon of faith, unity, and moral responsibility in an ever-changing world.”
Honarable Mosadoluwa also urged Muslims to use 2025 Eid-el-fitr celebration to reflect on the lessons of Ramadan, praying Almighty Allah to shower His countless blessings, peace and prosperity for all Muslim faithful, even as he expressed optimism for sustained peaceful coexistence among all Nigerians.
